Chapter 36
A year and 11 months later
As months passed Letty, Leon and Jesse got to know each other better. Letty and Leon learned to trust each other and were now good friends. Jesse was easy to get along with and Letty had had no problem in getting to know him.
Leon had been able to get a job, but Letty and Jesse had not. They would spend their days walking around L.A. Until Leon would get out of his job. The money that he made was going to food and necessities that the group needed. They lived out on the streets and the boys would protect Letty as much as possible, even if they had learned early on that Letty could take care of herself. She had beaten up some guy for calling her a bitch and groping her ass. She had told them her story just like they told her theirs.
The pair waited silently outside of Leon's workplace for him. They finally saw him walkout but he didn't look to happy, he actually looked mad. "Hey what happened man?" Letty asked Leon as they began to walk. "I lost my job guys, they said that they needed someone else." Leon spit on the ground. "So what are we going to do about money?" Jesse asked. "I don't know." Leon ran his hand through his hair. "I don't know how we're going to pay for the merchandise." Letty and Jesse both looked at him, their eyes going wide. "I think I can help out. I know someone who has money." Letty downcast her eyes.
She wasn't sure if going to him was a good idea. She knew that if Dominic or Vince found out, she would be in serious trouble. She didn't even like the guy, he was cocky and arrogant.
The boys both looked at her pensive mood. "What is going on in that mind of yours?" Leon asked her. Letty looked up at him, "I got to go to the rich side of L.A. I need to talk to someone. I know that he'll give me the money to pay off our debt. I'm going by myself." "No you're not, we're going with you." "Yeah what he said." Letty turned to look at Leon and Jesse. "I'm going by myself and if you don't like that then you'll have to deal with my fist." The boys nodded and left the topic alone.
Mia's world was spinning and full of Technicolor. She was looking up at the spinning ceiling above her. She laughed as different shapes formed in front of her and how she could almost touch the ceiling.
Within a year and 11 months Jeremy and Mia's relationship had blossomed into something big. They spend all the time that they had with each other outside and in the bedroom. They loved each other a lot and had promised each other marriage and kids. They got along great with each others families. Mia had even told Dom and he gave her his blessing. Things had been going good, but all good things must come to an end.
Five months ago Jeremy had been killed in a car accident. Jeremy was hit head on by a drunk driver, he had died instantly. Mia had cried, screamed, and kept telling herself that it was not true. She hit a state of depression, she was introduce to drugs and she loved the feeling. She could no longer feel the pain she felt for Jeremy. She stopped feeling completely, she didn't care about anyone but herself. She was always on a high and made sure that she stayed on it constantly.
Mia needed help but no one was able to help her. Her grandma had not notice what Mia was up to. The only one who knew was Brianna but she could care less.
"Hey Mi, look what I have." Mia's friend went over to her showing her a small packet full of tablets. Mia sat up and happily took them. "You going to take some?" Jo nodded. They took the tablets and waited for the effect to take place.
A guard walked up to Dominic's cell, "Mr. Toretto you have a visitor." Dominic stuck his wrists out through the small box while the guard placed handcuffs on him. "Open cell number 334." the guard said out loud. The cell opened up and Dom stepped out. The guard walked Dom to the visiting area. Once they got there Dom saw his lawyer sitting there.
"Dominic I'm glad to see you." they shook hands and sat down. "I have good news for you." "What is it?" Dominic asked impatiently. "The judge decided to let you go on probation. Which means that next month you get to go home for good behavior. Of course you will have to keep in contact with your parole officer." Dominic had a wide grin, finally he would be able to go back home. The guard took him back to his cell and he began to think about next month.
He had not heard from Mia in five months and knew that something was wrong. He would finally be able to know what was going on. He was know 20 years old, Letty would be 18 years old and Mia 17 years old. He couldn't wait to be with his family again. He wanted to know what was going on and take care of everything.
