A/N: Here's another chapter! I don't own F&F. Hope you enjoy it! Leave me reviews! They fuel my writing.
"So Taj was right," Mia tried to break the silence after Brian and Bayleigh got as far as hi.
Bayleigh nodded, "Did you both think he was lying?"
"Kinda. I don't remember you at all," Brian replied.
"That's because you were only two when dad left. He wanted to take me with him."
"Taj also said he was going to ship you a car? How can you have an attachment to a car you just won?" Mia spoke up again.
Bayleigh sighed, "The type of car it is has a lot of meaning to me."
"Like what?" Mia wasn't too happy about this sudden addition to their life. They were just able to live and be free.
"It was my first car. The car our dad got me. We both worked on it for weeks. It was totaled, and I've been trying to get another one since."
"How did he die?" Brian asked. "Taj said he did."
Bayleigh, even though Roman was still new to her grabbed him. She pulled him close to her before speaking. "He did. He died in that car."
Brian and Roman shared a look before Brain spoke up, "What happened?"
"It was my fault. We were driving, he wanted me to. We were traveling; the roads were a bit icy. We were coming down a mountain, the road with no railing; ya know where you can see the whole mountain down? Well, someone flew around a curve and hit us from the back. I hit the brakes, but it didn't help. The car drove off the edge, rolling down the hill with me and him. It came to a stop when it hit a tree, passenger side hit it, and the car started to crumple. I was able to get out, how I don't know. He didn't manage. It was my fault. If I had put the winter tires we purchased before our trip on, it could have been different. I was stubborn; I kept my summer tires on." She collapses to the floor, covering her face.
Roman got down with her, "It wasn't your fault."
Bayleigh sobbed in Romans chest as Brian looked on.
"Look, Bayleigh. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked so soon."
Bayleigh shook her head, "Bay. And its fine, you deserve to know. He was your father, no matter what."
"What car?" Mia's voice spoke again.
"A Nissan Skyline R33 GTR."
"Definitely related to you. Apparently you even have the same taste in cars. Want to point out your bags?" Mia walked towards the baggage claim watching as the conveyor belt moved.
Roman pointed to the bags as they came, Mia grabbed them. Bayleigh eventually got up and walked with Roman outside. They climbed into the back of the Nissan GT-R, no one said a word on the way. Once at the house, Brian showed them two rooms and left them both. He and Mia walked outside to sit on the beach.
Bayleigh left her stuff alone and fell onto the bed, she grabbed Roman before she fell, pulling him with her. "Stay with me? At least till I pass out?"
Roman smiled and nodded, crawling next to her.
It took Bayleigh a week to figure out a plan. Tonight was the night. She didn't like being holed up at the house; she enjoyed getting to know Brian, and Mia. And she's learned so much about Roman, who has yet to leave. It may have been slight jealousy; Brian did have the newest model of the Nissan Skyline, the GT-R that was released in the US. Or it may have just been that she missed driving and cars so much.
She caught wind of a race coming up. She knew if she could get there with Brian's GT-R she could get her a car. The only person she told was Roman, and that was only because she needed a way to get Brians GT-R back before he'd even know it was gone. Roman didn't like the idea at first; after all, he couldn't lie to Brian. But he figured she'd only do it once, to get a car, and then she'd be good.
Mia and Brian had just come home two nights ago with their new baby. A baby boy they named Canaan. Bayleigh figured they would be too busy with the baby to want to go anywhere. They had everything they needed right now, so a few hours would be okay.
Once it got late enough, Roman walked outside of the house. Brian was still up, so he made it look like he was just going to walk along the beach under the moonlight. Once Brian went to the room with Mia and the baby, Roman tapped on Bayleighs window, signaling her to come out. She grabbed then spare key she found to the GT-R and climbed out her window, that way there was no sound.
Once at the races Bayleigh got into one as soon as she could. The cars that went up against the GT-R didn't stand a chance. Her first race was against a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Once she won, Roman told her they should go. It had been a few hours, and they did have Brians GT-R. She told Roman she'd head back shortly and let him take her Subaru home. She didn't want to run out of money, so she decided to do just one more race.
She lined up with a 1996 Toyota Supra. She knew the car had no chance. The Supra didn't stand a chance, every time it caught up to her it would fall behind again. She won the race. Once she crossed the line she started to slow down, a car coming the other way ran the red light, striking the back of the GT-R. The driver kept driving, probably drunk or something, didn't even realize they hit someone. She parked the car and got out, the rear bumper was torn off completely, and there were dents in the rear quarter panel and trunk. She started yelling profanities as she kicked the car.
Brain heard a faint knock on the door; he looked over a Mia then at the time, seeing it was around 4am. He got out of the bed and opened the door.
"Dom?" He looked at him groggily.
"Hey O'Conner," Dominic smiled, no signs of knowing it's too early to be here.
"Where's the GT-R?"
"What do you mean? It's where it always is." Brian raised an eyebrow as he watched Dominic.
"No. Come here, it's not. There's some other car though."
"What?" Brian stepped outside with Dominic and rubbed his eyes clearing his vision a little more. As he looked he saw Dominic's Challenger, but no GT-R. He did notice the other car. "Who's Subaru?"
"I was going to ask you that."
"Come in. Let me go check something." He walked inside and let Dominic in. He walked down the hall calling for Roman and Bayleigh. No one came out by time he got to the door. He started pounding on it, and a few minutes later Roman opened it.
"What the hell?"
"Where's my car Rome?"
"What?"
"ROME, WHERE IS MY CAR?"
Roman looked around, catching Dominic. "Are you sure it's not there?"
Dominic stepped closer, his facial expression changed, "Where is the GT-R?" He spoke sternly.
Roman sighed, "She's going to kill me. Bayleigh has it. She was supposed to be back before you got up."
"Where did the Subaru come from?" Dominic asked.
"Bayleigh won it. She got tired of waiting for her car, so she took the GT-R to get her one."
"She's going to be in for a rude awakening when she gets back, Dom, want to keep me company outside?"
Dominic nodded, "Sounds good to me."
"I'll come with you, give me a sec," Roman opened the room door fully.
"Fine." Brian walked off with Dominic.
The sun started to rise as Bayleigh drove back to the house. She had stuck the bumper in the car; she had no idea what she was going to tell Brian. As she got closer she saw the black Challenger. She hoped that whoever it was didn't wake Brian up. She pulled up on the other side of the Subaru and got out. She walked up to the house slowly, freezing when she saw Brian, Roman, and a tan skinned man she didn't know.
She tried to wipe the shock from her face and anything else, "Hey Bri," She smiled as she got closer.
"What the hell happened?" Brian asked as he got up, walking to his car.
"Someone hit me?" She asked walking backwards.
"Where did this come from?" He pointed to the Subaru.
"I won it."
"In my car. I told you not to touch my car."
"Oh come on. It's a GT-R, you thought I'd just not touch it? I just wanted to drive it."
"And look what happened! You wrecked it."
"Someone hit me."
"So you say. How do I know?"
"I have witnesses?"
"You were racing it. Now I'm going to ask again. What happened?"
She tried to ignore the question, "Hi, I'm Bayleigh, you are?" She held her hand out to Dominic as he and Roman joined the two at the car.
"Dominic. Now, what happened to the car?" Dom grabbed her hand, not letting it go.
