Dom breathed heavily, as he tried to control the urge to not throw up. He stared down at the ground, eyeing Letty's still frame. Not again. Not again!
'Dom? Dom, go to her!' Brian told him. Dom looked at him, his eyes black with hurt and anger. Brian took a slight step back. He had seen that look before, when Dom discovered that Brian had sent Letty undercover and caused her 'death', before beating him. He knew that if Mia hadn't have been there, Dom would've killed him.
'Dom, man you okay?' Roman asked, as he rounded the corner. He saw the look in Dom's eyes and frowned, before looking to the left and seeing the two bodies lay on the ground beneath them. 'Oh shit' Roman gasped, feeling a little woozy. While he had only met Letty when they headed to London, he had grown fond of her. She was able to calm Dom down, and her fiery personality made her unique.
'Dom, she needs you!' Brian said, not sure if that was the right thing say when he saw his fist clench. Brian swallowed and backed up, however his stance told Dom if he was going to fight him, he would fight back. Roman watched as anger covered Dom's face and he raised a fist, slamming into the wall next to Brian's head, letting out a shout of anger.
'Dom, man-'
'SHUT UP!' Dom roared, turning to face Roman, who immediately backed off, holding his hands in surrender. Brian opened his mouth to speak, when something interrupted him.
'Son of a bitch!' Brian looked confused. Dom hadn't spoken and neither had Roman. Roman rushed to the edge of the glass.
'Holy... Dom, you should see this' Roman said. Dom glared darkly at Brian, before side stepping him and heading to Roman's side. His eyes widened and he rushed to the first set of steps he could find...
Letty rolled onto her back, her head spinning. She turned her to the right and saw Shaw's body laying a few feet away from her.
'Son of a bitch!' she said, seeing the shattered glass surrounding them. She pressed a hand to her head, what was throbbing wildly. She slowly sat up and put her head on her knees, breathing heavily.
'LETTY!' Dom's voice cracked through the air, as he rushed towards her. He skidded on his knees to her side and gently tipped her head back. He stroked her face gently, the gesture causing a confused look over Letty's face. Dom noticed it, but he didn't question her. 'You okay?' he asked, slipping his arm round her waist.
'Bet your ass, papa' Letty said painfully, groaning as she straightened her back and shoulders out. Dom felt a shiver rush through his body at his old nickname, a smile turning his mouth up. Letty slowly got to her feet, with Dom's help.
'You okay? Want me to piggyback you?' he asked, with a slight chuckle. However, Letty's glare sent him the answer.
'I'm not an invalid!' she snapped, wincing as her body protested to movement. Just then, the main doors the entrance of the hotel banged open and Hobbs appeared, Elena by his side.
'I can never get a minute's piece with you, Toretto!' Hobbs said, however one look at Shaw had slight smile erupting on his face 'But when you make my job easier, I'll let you off' he told him, before seeing Letty sway on the spot. 'She needs the hospital' he told Dom, before walking towards Shaw with Elena by his side.
'I do not need the hospital!' Letty protested, as Roman and Brian headed in their direction, being careful of the glass.
'You might want these' Brian said, holding up Letty's high heels. She cast a glare at the shoes and then at Brian.
'Get them hell walkers away from me!' she told Brian, who nodded and lowered them to his side. Dom bent down and allowed Letty to climb onto his back. He straightened up slowly, not wanting to cause Letty any more damage.
'Make sure she gets to the hospital, Dom! I'll be checking!' Hobbs called, as he saw them head for the exit.
'Will do, we'll make sure!' Roman replied, ducking out of the way of Letty's backward swing of her arm...
'How is she?' Dom asked, as a nurse stepped out of Letty's room. The nurse nodded and flipped the book shut.
'After a fall through glass and landing on a floor that isn't carpet... I've no idea how she isn't dead. Her head took a hit, so I would like to keep her in overnight to monitor her. She also has a concussion, so don't be alarmed if she doesn't remember anything at the moment...' the nurse told him. Dom nodded and looked through the window at Letty, who looked slightly worse for wear, as the bruises had started to come out.
'Can I see her?' Dom asked. The nurse nodded and allowed Dom past her and into the room. Dom closed the door and looked towards Letty on the bed.
'I'm not staying in this place overnight' Letty told him. He smiled slightly. He knew Letty hated hospitals, ever since the first time he met her and almost took her arm off, she had sworn she would never step foot in another hospital.
'Sorry, Letty. Doctor's orders' Dom said and Letty snarled.
'Fine. I'll discharge myself then' Letty said. Before Dom could stop her, she ripped the tubes out of her hand and hopped off the bed, stifling a pained groan. She grabbed her jeans and cami top that Brian had brought her from the hotel and threw them off, ignoring Dom's requests.
'Letty!' Dom shouted, as she flung open the door. Brian and Roman got to their feet, as Letty stepped out, fully dressed.
'Letty? What are you doing?' Brian asked, as he noticed Letty looking for a nurse.
'I'm discharging myself. I know my body better than anyone!' Letty snapped.
'Dom might have something to say about that' Roman muttered, however Letty heard him and sent him a glare.
'Shut up!' she snapped, before heading for a nurse who could discharge her, the men trudging helplessly behind them...
Dom rolled over, intending to pull Letty closer to him; however his hands only grabbed the silk sheets of the bed cover. He opened his eyes and looked round the room, seeing Letty dressed in her pyjama shorts and a white cami top, leaning out on the railing that overlooked Dubai.
'Letty...' Dom murmured as approached her. Letty looked up at the night sky, clearly having something on her mind.
'I'm okay... It's just... Today, made me realise how close you came to losing me, again. I acted before I thought. I saw the gun being raised and I knew that I had to do something' Letty spoke, before she turned to face him. 'And I would do it all over again if I had to' Letty said honestly. Dom sighed and reached out for her.
'You won't have to save me again. I'll make sure of it' he promised. Letty looked at him softly.
'I want you to promise me something...' she said, wrapping her arms round his waist.
'Depends what it is' Dom told her, staring down at her, causing Letty to sigh.
'If we ever find ourselves in situations like today, we find a way to deal with the situation alone. We save ourselves and not each other-'
'But-'
'No! We save ourselves! No trying to be the hero. There are other people with us, who rely on us. What good are we to them if we end up dead because we thought the other were in trouble?' Letty questioned. Dom didn't answer. He knew Letty had a point. Even earlier when Letty suggested they split up, a bullet had almost caught him as he rounded the corner. While he knew Letty was more than capable of looking after herself, he knew that he wouldn't always pay a hundred percent attention to his opponent because he was worrying about her. He sighed.
'Okay, I promise. It's just, knowing what happened last time, with Brian and Braga... If something does happen you and it's fatal... I won't say goodbye' Dom admitted. Letty looked up at him, sympathy showing on her face.
'Dom...' she said, softly. 'It won't happen again. I promise you that! When the time comes to go, you'll be by my side, I promise' Letty told him. Dom nodded and hugged her tightly, stroking her head.
'Why don't we go back to bed?' she suggested softly, feeling the night time breeze ripple across her clothing. Dom pulled back from the hug and pressed a kiss to her lips, smiling as Letty responded...
