I don't own anything! Don't sue.

I'm sorry about the dialogues. It's written this way in German, so I haven't noticed. Sorry!

(And again: Thanks PrincessCheese!)

Please guys! I would DIE to get some reviews!

Chapter 5

"Letty?" Dom calls while closing the door behind him. Mia decided to take a ride with Jesse and suggested that he should go look after Letty and get into her "good graces" again. Women.

He looks around the ground floor, no sign of her. But her car is in the driveway and she isn't in the backyard. He had checked that. Slowly heading up the stairs he begins to wonder why she just left. Normally Letty would fight him back much more.

"Letty?", he calls again as he stays in front of their bedroom door. This time his voice is much gentler.

He furrows his brow. After thinking twice about it, he tries to open the door. Almost expecting to find it locked. Surprised that it isn't, he peers into the room.

Letty is lying in bed. Dom opens the door a bit more, going into the room and silently sitting beside her sleeping form. She stirs and opens her eyes. "Hey.", Dom whispers. "You okay?"

"Fine.", Letty answers shortly and turns around to lay down on her other side.

"Letty.", Dom sighs. "Come on. Tell me what's wrong."

Letty sits up, shooting Dom her tough bitch scowl.

"What's wrong? Seriously? What's wrong? What's wrong Dom is, that you treat me like you own me. Mark your territory as soon as anyone shows interest in me and then you just shove me away!", she screams.

"You know it's not like that. I'm trying to protect you.", Dom rises his voice.

"I don't need to be protected!", Letty roars.

"Great! Guess I can bring the ring back then. I won't want to hurt your independence.", Dom bellows and stomps out of the bedroom.

"So...what are we eating for lunch?", Vince asks while standing on the porch and waiting for the rest of the team. Mia and Jesse are just climbing out of the Jetta. They look at each other knowingly and start laughing uncontrollably. "What?", Vince defends himself. "We all have to eat. It's not a crime to ask what's for lunch." With this said he turns around and enters the house. Mia and Jesse following him while Leon's car pulls up.

Dom sits on the couch switching through channels without paying attention. As the door swings open he turns around halfheartedly. "Hey brother.", Vince walks up and sits down in the armchair. "Where is Letty?" Dom makes a face. "Upstairs.", he replies.

"Uuh-huh.", Vince leans forward, waiting for Dom to give him further information.

"She's pissed at me.", Dom sighs. He rubs his bald head. Vince nods, knowing Dom won't tell him more about it.

Mia is already busy in the kitchen. Jesse lays on the floor playing the PlayStation while Leon is in the basement, getting a shower.

Suddenly Vince stands up and heads towards the kitchen. "Hey Mia, need some help?", he asks nicely.

"Uhh...sure.", she replies, stunned.

"Great. I'll look after the spaghetti. Why don't you go upstairs and make sure Letty's okay?", he whispers near her ear, making sure Dom won't hear him.

Mia looks up at him and smiles. "Yeah sure.", she whispers back. "You're the best V."

"Aww...I know.", Vince smirks before focusing on the food.

"Can I come in?", Mia asks while knocking on the door. "Yeah.", she barely hears Letty saying.

Stepping inside and closing the door carefully behind her, Mia takes a closer look at her best friend.

"Why are you lying in bed?", she asks frowning.

"Don't want to have a face to face conversation with Dom yet. I screamed at him...", Letty answers evasively.

"You don't want....WHAT? Jesus Christ, Letty don't try this bullshit with me.", Mia points her finger at Letty to underline her words.

Letty lets out a heavy sigh, which makes Mia go all soft and caring again. "Come on.", she says, sitting down on the bed, "Tell me."

"I don't know Mia.", Letty looks down.

"You don't know? I'm your best friend. You can tell me anything.", Mia pouts.

"No. I don't know what's wrong with me.", Letty explains helplessly.

"What do you mean?" Letty sighs again. Mia is a good friend, but sometimes I wish she would just leave me alone. "I'm just a bit flabby. It's not a big deal.", she says while getting up.

"Okay. You don't have to get up Let.", Mia starts but Letty cuts her off. "I'm starving! I have to get up."

Mia giggles at this. "Flabby and always starving, if I wouldn't know better I would say you're...", Mia stops abruptly eying Letty. "You're not pregnant, are you?", she asks, her voice serious.

"God, Mia. Course I'm not! Dom would kill me.", Letty laughs.

Mia isn't convinced. "I heard you throw up yesterday morning.", she points out.

"Well, I drank too much.", Letty responds bluntly.

"Sure. Then why haven't I seen you drinking anything alcoholic in days?", Mia aks her voice getting louder whith each word.

"Cause you were busy looking at someone else.", Letty answers harshly.

"What is that supposed to mean?", Mia's tone is all bitchy now.

Letty rolls her eyes and goes to the drawer, pulling out a sweatshirt.

"Nothing Mia, nothing.", she exclaims, leaving Mia alone in the room.

Letty trudges down the stairs and strolls directly into the kitchen.

Vince turns around to look at her.

"Sorry. I thought you'd want to talk to Mia.", he explains remorsefully.

"But there's nothing to talk about. I'm just not feeling well lately.", Letty snaps.

"Then tell Dom. You can take a few days off.", Vince suggests.

"But I don't want to tell Dom.", she pouts morose.

"Then I'll bring you to a doctor tomorrow.", Vince threatens smiling at Letty's scowle.

"Go ahead and try.", she snares at him.

"Oh, I have an even better plan. I'm telling Dom now.", he says more to himself than to Letty and leaves the kitchen.
