I OWN NOTHING.
KingVictoria- HAPPY U LOVED IT. TO BE HONEST, EVEN THOUGH I LOVE ALL THE STORIES ABOUT DOM N LETTY, IT SEEMS TOO SAFE. THE LETTY THAT I IMAGINE IS FUNNY, SMART, YOUNG, OPTIMISTIC, INDEPENDENT, AND A COMPLETE BADASS. EVEN THOUGH DOM CAUGHT HER ATTENTION, SHE CAN'T JUST PUT HER LIFE ON HOLD AND WATCH HIM LIVE HIS. OH AND BY THE WAY, I LIKE PETE TOO. SEEMED ONLY RIGHT TO PUT HIM IN THE STORY NOW, PLUS HE HAS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN FUTURE CHAPTERS!
LETTY'S POV
I called Mia's cell while walking up to the door "Alright alright. You guys can chill the fuck out. I'm home"
"She's fine and at home" Mia announced then came back in the phone "I thought you were
sleeping over?"
I started to unlock the door "I am. I'm just dropping of my car and locking up the house."
I walked inside and immediately a fairly medium sized box with purple ribbon around it
caught my attention "I'll be over in a second" I hung up and closed the door.
I picked up the box and looked for a card, the was none.
I pulled of ribbon and opened the box. Inside was a videocassette labeled Leticia. I took the box and cassette into the living room and sat in front of the tv to turn on the vcr. Once the cassette was inserted in, I turned on the tv and got up to sit in the couch.
The first ten seconds started of with someone following a woman in the park. She was
laughing. The camera rotated to show her face, once she noticed it, she hid her face.
"Come on" a voice said. That voice was my father's
"Miguel!" the woman squealed and my dad tickled her
She finally showed her face and it was my mom. The camera then zoomed out and
exposed her pregnant belly. It then switched scenes to her standing in front of a mirror wearing shorts and a bra, staring at herself "I'm fat" she remarked
"Your beautiful" he complimented walking up behind her, camera in hand. His other hand
now held hers as she placed it over her belly
"How could you be in love with someone you've never met?" she asked
The next clip was one of my birth. Although there were things I would have rather not
seen, there was also clips of them holding me. "Tell me we are going to be good parents"
my mother said. "We won't be good parents, we'll be great parents" my father emphasized
the word great
Tears began to run down my cheek when the next clip started.
It was my 2nd birthday party and my mother ran around the house trying to catch me
while everyone laughed. I hid in a corner behind a table when she gave up and sat next to
my dad. She took a deep breath and said "I don't get it. How is she so fast!" she exclaimed
in spanish. My dad replied by joking "She's not fast, we're just getting old" she hit him on
the arm then he said "A joke, I was just kidding"
"That's for sure, you are as young as you feel" My grandmother Susana said
The video was over and my cell phone buzzed, Mia was calling.
I wiped my eyes and picked up saying "I'm on my way chica" as I stood and took the
cassette out the vcr and pushed everything to the corner of the room
Over the Toretto's house, the party was over and people were leaving.
Vince grabbed a trash bag and started helping to clean up. Mia and I wiped down the tables
"Hot chocolate" Tony said bringing in two cups for us alongside with two cans of
whipped cream "If you boys want some, there's extra in the kitchen. I'm off to bed,
goodnight"
"Night" we all said
"Letty you don't have to clean, it's your birthday" Mia said
"It's fine" I said
"Yea Mia, if the birthday girl wanna help, let her. After all it is a woman job to
clean" Vince said
Mia and I jumped Vince. Mia started slapping him and I bent his arm back and yelled
"apologize!"
"Never!" he yelled back
Dom sat back on the couch and drank a corona.
"Dominic!" Vince called out "You not gunna help your best friend out?"
"They're just girls" Dom laughed
"But Letty hits like a man, and your sister's no joke either" Vince whined
"Alright" Dom said
I could feel him pulling my arm, trying to get me off. I used my elbow and elbowed him in
the gut. He moved back and I saw him grab something. I felt something cold spray across my neck. That startled me. It was the whipped cream.
"Mia grab Vince" I ordered. I got up and slowly walked over to the other can of whipped
cream
"Letty, I wouldn't do that if I were you" Dom said
I grabbed the can "Oh yea?" I started shaking it
"Letty, drop it or else" he warned
"Or else what?"
"Or else this!" he started spraying it
I screamed and fired back.
Vince got up and Mia ran towards the kitchen out the side door, Vince chased after her.
Dom ran out of ammo and tackled me
"Ahh!" I screamed
He knocked the can out my hand and held me down by my wrist. He hovered over me and
we laughed. For a moment time stood still. He came closer to my face and somehow we kissed. Not like before this time we went all out. He let go of my hands and I pulled him closer. We heard the side door in the kitchen open and Dom rolled off me.
Vince and Mia walked in "So we called a truce" Mia said
"Yea, us to" I struggled to say
"Kay well I'm going to get ready for bed, V can u take out the trash"
"Got it" Vince said picking up the garbage bag
"I'm just going to go to bed" I said trying to lay out a blanket and pillows on the living
room floor
"Yea me too" Dom stood up and went upstairs
5:09 in the morning, I needed to pee. Getting up, I tried not to wake Mia who slept next
to me. I walked upstairs to the bathroom. I peed and washed my hands. I opened the door and started walking to the stairs. I was half asleep and could barely walked straight. Dom's
room door opened and I heard a chuckle. Dom closed his door gently trying not to wake anyone up.
I smiled at him "What are you looking at?"
He laughed "Your hair"
"Bite me" I said combing threw my hair with my fingers and putting it in a messy bun
"You always been this charming in the morning?"
I heard snoring from Dom's room and laughed "Is that Vince"
He laughed "I guess now you know why I can't sleep"
"Thought it might of been because of something else"
He cleared his throat
"Awkward" I said
"What are you nervous?"
"Sorta" I took a step closer to him "Do I make you nervous?"
"Good night Letty" he opened his room door.
I grabbed his arm and closed the door. I wrapped my arms around his waist and he smiled at me then tired to kissed me when I playfully moved back. He gripped the back off my head securely and kissed me.
Vince's snoring got louder and interrupted us. We laughed. He picked me up and walked
me to the bathroom nearby. Inside the bathroom he locked the door, sat me on the bathroom counter and started kissing me again.
Although I enjoyed this but I wasn't about to get played. I pulled back.
"What's wrong?" he asked
"What's this?"
"What?"
"Us, locked in here making out"
"Exactly what it looks like, us making out" he tried to kiss me, I used my hand to distance us by pushing on his chest.
"Letty"
"Dom, you don't really like me do you?"
He took a deep breath
"Thanks for your answer" I got up and tried to unlock the door
He held the door shut
"What Dom!"
"Nothing"
"Thought so" I pushed his hand of the door and went back downstairs.
"Letty?" Mia mumbled
"Yea girl, go back to sleep"
Easy said than done. Unfortunately I couldn't go back to sleep. The good thing is that
Tony wakes up at the crack of dawn.
"Morning"
"Oh hey, what are you doing up this early" Tony asked
"I don't know"
He laughed "Wanna help me make breakfast?"
"Not really"
"Yea, I don't even want to cook, after a night like last night I'm beet"
"Same"
"Let's wake everyone up for breakfast"
"I got Mia"
"Kay. Meet back at the front door in 10 minutes"
"Yup"
We spilt up, Tony went upstairs to wake the boys up and I attempted to wake Mia but she
refused.
When it was time to meet up Dom and Tony walked downstairs
"What happened to Vince?" I asked
"Didn't wanna wake up" Dom answered
"Yea asked me to bring him back some food though" Tony said while putting on his
jacket and giving me mine
"Typical"
"What happened to Mia?" Tony asked
"She said she was tired and wasn't hungry"
"Okay, well looks like it's just us then." Tony said
Nobody bothered changing, we remained in our pajamas and went to the local diner.
We sat in a booth. Dom sat next to me and Tony sat across from us.
"Hey guys, what can I get ya?" The waitress named Tyra said
"Coffee, waffles, bacon, eggs with some orange juice" Tony said
"Omelet, french toast, bacon and a corona" Dom said
"Hold the corona, he'll take an apple juice" Tony interrupted
"Large stack of pancakes, egg, bacon, french toast, orange juice, coffee and a side of
strawberries"
"Damn" Dom and Tony said in unison
"What?" I asked
"Nothing, I just never got use to that" Tony said
Tyra brought out the drinks
"You sure you should be drinking coffee?" Tony asked me
"Yea"
Soon after the food came out. We devoured it. We were full and Tony excused himself
from the table to go and use the restroom
My phone rang on the table, it was Pete. I smiled and picked up"Hey Pete. No I didn't forget. Actually I just had breakfast, okay..yea, later"
"So this Pete guy.." Dom started
"Not your concern" I stated
"Not my concern cause yall ain't serious or.."
"Not your concern because it's not your business" I said trying to slide myself around the
table.
Dom grabbed my hand and held it underneath the table.
I froze. Then Tony can back and we both let go.
"Ready? I just got Vince's food and something for Mia too"
"Yea" Dom and I said getting up
They dropped me home. I opened the door and called out to mi abuela.
"Upstairs" she yelled
I dragged my feet upstairs to her room then plopped myself unto her bed.
She laughed and started playing in my hair "¿lo ha mal mi amor? (what's wrong my love?)"
"I feel..." I thought of words to sum up how I felt but there were none.
I looked to the side and saw papers stuffed under the pillow. I reached and grabbed them.
"What's this?" I asked. I read the papers. They were bills past due along with warning
letters. "Why didn't you tell me we were behind?"
"Letty, I didn't want to worry you"
I sat up "worry me?" I kept looking through the bills, they also contained medical
expenses. I couldn't remember a time when she went to the hospital. "What's wrong with
you? Are sick? ¡Contesta! (answer me!)"
"Yes"
"Yes?"
"I am sick. But I'm getting better"
Tears started rolling down my cheek "Your lying to me, I can tell. Your not going to get
better are you?"
She gave me no answer
"Are you?" I screamed
"Letty" she held me "I will be fine, don't you worry"
"What is it?"
"My heart"
"Your heart?"
"Apparently I have a disease"
"What kind of disease!"
"Coronary heart disease, my arteries are blocked, restricting blood flow to the heart"
"Are you going to die?"
"Not today hunny"
I held her "I'm so sorry"
"It's not your fault baby. Over time these things start to happen. Even though I say I'm
young, reality is I'm just not how I use to be"
"Does dad know"
"Yes"
I looked at the bills again and remembered about the money I won from Pete. I ran to my
Room, got it then brought it back to mi abuela. "Here"
"What's this"
"Money"
"I know but where did you get it"
"A couple of nights ago, I raced this kid and won"
"I don't want you racing, it's too dangerous!"
"But.."
"Keep the money, it's yours. Let me and your father worry about paying for all of this"
she said pushing the money my way
I tried giving her back
"No. Letty keep it! Now I've got a doctors appointment in a few, what's your plans for
today"
"I had a date tonight but"
"No but, your going. Who is the lucky fellow?"
"The same guy I won the money from, Pete"
"Well you should have me meet him"
"I will" I was still sad
"Cheer up, I'm not dead yet" She was trying to make a joke "Too soon?"
I nodded.
"Well I gotta go" she kissed my forehead and left
I ran over Mia's house.
"Tony! Tony!" I was in tears and out of breath
I ran upstairs and met him
"Woah, slow down. Where's the fire?" Tony said
"¡Ella está enferma! (she's sick!)"
He took a deep breath he knew what I was talking about. "Letty"
Dom an Mia came out their room to see what was going on.
I was dizzy, I dropped to my knees. Tony and Mia sat next to me.
"Breathe Letty!" Mia said
"Dom get her something to drink, water now!" Tony ordered
Dom ran downstairs and seconds later ran back upstairs with a bottle of water.
I drank it and tried to calm down, taking slow breaths, before I knew it my eyes rolled back and everything went dark.
I opened my eyes and saw I was in the hospital Tony was asleep in a chair, Mia laid at the
foot of my bed. Dom stared out the window to the hallway.
"Dom" I whispered "What time is it?"
He walk over to me and stood next to my bed "7"
"7?"
"Yea, you've been asleep for a while"
I tried getting out of bed
"Hey, you should take it easy"
"I think I just want to walk know where my clothes are?"
"Bathroom"
I went in the bathroom and changed
"Doc said what was wrong with me?"
"You had a panic attack, the doctor gave you something to slow your heart rate down"
"Just what we need. More bills" we started walking
"Hungry?"
"You bet"
We stopped by a vending machine and got a lot of junk food then we went by the cafeteria and sat around a table.
"I don't know what we're going to do. My mom is back, Selena and Raul are long gone.
My dad is still locked up. The bills are way past overdue and my grandmother is sick"
"Relax. Look at it this way, your mom wants to be there for you, you will get Selena and Raul back . Your dad gets home next week. We'll help with the bills and your grandmother will get better. You'll get threw this?"
"Oh yea?"
"Yea" my phone started ringing
"Is that my phone?"
"Yea" he pulled it out of his pocket and gave it to me
"Pete"
"Pete? That prick from the race meet"
"Shut up" I pushed him and answered my phone "Hello?"
"Letty are you okay?" Pete asked
"Yea why?"
"Couple of the guys saw you rushed into an ambulance"
"Yea, I'm fine. Look, sorry we had to cancel our date but.."
"You don't have to apologize. I just want you to get better. We can go out some other
time."
"Yea, bye"
"Bye"
I gave Dom back my phone. He stared at me
"Don't even Toretto"
"I wasn't."
"Good"
He got up "let's get back"
We returned before anyone woke up. I got in the bed and closed my eyes.
I felt Dom kiss me and say "Sorry you couldn't have your date"
I kept my eyes closed.
Morning came and the doctor said I could go.
My grandmother waited by the front door for me. When I opened it she held me tight.
"Tony's having a barbeque later"
"Can we go?" I asked
"Sure"
"Can Pete come?"
"That boy you met at the race meet"
"Yea"
At the barbeque
Pete showed up with Hector and the rest.
"Your man's here girl" Mia said "12o'clock"
I looked up "I'll be back, I'm gunna go to the store and pick up some ice"
"Yea sure" Mia laughed
"Hey" I smiled walking up to Pete
His friends said hi and left us
"Hey, feeling better?"
"Yup, let's go for a walk"
We walked over to my house.
"So what are we doing here" he asked
"We didn't go on our date and that kinda bothers me"
"Yea? Why?" he smiled at me
"Why did you ask me out?"
"Other than the fact that your extremely beautiful, I like your personality"
"You like my personality? Don't go soft on me now"
"I'm serious. I do, other girls are obsessed with not breaking a nail or trying to get their
hair just right"
I laughed "so you like me cause I'm not one of those perfect little barbie's?"
"I like you because your honest, there's no pretends, your just real"
He leaned in and kissed me.
"Let's go back to the barbeque before your friends kick my ass"
"You scared?"
"No"
"Dude, your so scared"
"Hey, they can be intimidating okay" he joked
The barbeque was over and everyone left. I walked Pete to the front and kissed him
goodbye.
"Your so whipped" Mia sang
"Fuck you" I laughed
"Letty's got a boyfriend"
"Mia, if you value your life.."
"Pete and Letty sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g" she continued
"That's it" I chased her to the back we bumped into Vince and Dom
"Hey guys, you heard the news. Letty and Pete are.." I put my hand over Mia's mouth
before she finished
"Letty and Pete are what?" Dom asked
Mia and I stood up and brushed of grass off our clothes
"Dating" Mia finished
Dom stormed off
"What's his deal?" Mia asked
"Guess he doesn't like the prick after all" Vince said walking after him
"My brother is stupid. Don't let him get to you"
"Mia, he's not getting to me. It's you! I didn't want him to know but you had to go and spill the bean. You should keep your big mouth shut!"
"Oh and I was to know that it was a secret!"
"As if me with my hand over your mouth wasn't obvious enough! God Mia. Leave me the
fuck alone for crying out loud!" I walked away from her
I dialed Pete's number. "Hey can you meet me?"
We meet at a bowling alley.
"Hey" he kissed me
"Hey. Bowling huh?" he asked
"I'm guessing your not a fan?"
"Not against it either"
"So let's bowl"
We got on our shoes and went to an empty lane. When it was my turn to bowl, I kept
hearing giggly and missed.
"Dammit"
"Relax. You just need to concentrate" Pete said while I got another ball
He tried guiding my hand
I smiled "As much as I am enjoying this, I think I can manage"
He backed off and I tried again and missed after the giggling grew louder.
"Fuck!" I said walking back to Pete
I finally found where that obnoxious laugh was coming from. Dom and some blonde was
chilling by the other lane.
My hand started to ball into a fist
"Relax mami" Pete said holding my hands
"I'll be right back"
I walked over to Dom and his date "Dom can you tell your little groupie to shut up, some
of us are actually here to bowl"
"You mean that piece of shit over there?" Vince laughed
"Fuck off Vince!" I shotted
"Listen, we're just here to bowl, just like you" Dom stated
"Letty" Pete called for me
"One second" I told him
"Yea can't you see she's talking to real men" Dom said
"What'd you say to me?" Pete asked walking up
Vince, who was leaning against something walked closer. Dom stopped him with his foot
and got up.
Pete and Dom were face to face.
"Come on Pete, walk away" I said
"Yea Pete walk away" Dom mimicked me
I looked at Pete hoping he would back down, he did. He walked away.
"Come on baby, let's not socialize with trash" The blonde chick said, standing by Dom's
side
I turned around and swung knocking her out
She started crying "My nose! I think it's broken!"
I laughed "I guess not all barbies are made outta plastic" I walked to Pete "Let's go"
Pete laughed
Dom just helped his date up and sat her down. "Well aren't you going to do something?" I
blonde asked
"You want something done, take it up with her yourself" he told her
Vince kept crapping up
