PLEASE REVIEW =]
I OWN NOTHING.
LETTY'S POV
"Ms Ortiz" my math teacher called out to me as I tried to exit the class. She gave me a paper
"What's this?" I questioned
"Your test. I have to say I am quite disappointed" she stated
I looked at it. 15% that's an all time low. "Damn"
"Yea. Is something going on at home?"
"It's personal" I snapped back
"It's starting to affect your school work"
"My school work is fine!"
"Letty, I don't want to be the bad guy, I want to help"
"Oh yea. How can you help?" I calmed down
She took a moment
"Are we done here? I got better things to do"
"I'm going to need your parent to sign this, your failing math"
"Look my parents are non existing right now"
"Well your guardian needs to sign or it's going to the principal's office"
I grabbed it out her hand
Jesse never showed up at school today but as the bell rang he was outside waiting for me by my car.
"Hey"
"Hey" he said
I threw my bag in my car and showed him my test alongside with the note
"Your failing math?!" he was shocked
"Yup" I looked around for Mia
None of the guys went to school today so I was Mia's ride.
"How are you failing?" Jesse asked
"I barely there and even when I'm present, my mind isn't 100% there you know. What'd you got in that class?"
"92%" he downplayed his answer
"92!"
"Yea"
"How?"
"I don't know, I'm good at math"
"Help me out. The note says I would be able to raise my grade as long as I makeup the homework and retake this test"
"Ready" Mia said
"Hey" we acknowledged her
"You still need a signature" Jesse pointed out
"Garage"
We got in our cars, I dropped Mia off at the store and drove to the garage.
Dom and Vince was outside the garage.
I grabbed my bag, the test and the note.
"No school today?" I asked
"Naw wasn't up to it" Vince said
Dom held my hand and we walked inside. "Whatchu holding"
"My failure" I showed him
"Damn"
"Exactly what I said, you wanna forge your dad's signature for me?"
"Won't work. They'll show it to the principal and call him to confirm"
"I'm fucked"
"What is your friend Jesse doing?" Tony asked us
We looked back at him and laughed. He and Vince were clowning around like always but Jesse stood no chance Vince was too big and over powered him. Jesse had to tap out as a result he had to lick Vince's tires.
We were laughing at them
"Better try now while he's laughing" Dom whispered shoving me to Tony's side
"Wish me luck" I said "Mr. T, I need a favor"
He looked at me "What kinda favor?" his brow rose
I showed him the paper "In my office" He walked in the direction of his office and I followed "How did this happen?"
"I fell behind a little"
"Close the door"
I closed it
"A little? Letty this more than just a little. How did you get a 15%?"
"I don't know but I'm failing"
He sat on his desk "Your staying in my house now so I'm going to treat you as if you were my own, your grounded, indefinitely"
"How long is that?"
"How ever long is it gunna take for you to make it up"
"That might never happen!"
"Not with that mentality. I want you to do good Letty."
"Fine"
"Get a tutor, do your homework pay attention and actually try" Tony signed the paper
"Thanks. Maybe Mia would actually know how to do this stuff"
I walked over to the boys.
"How'd it go?" Dom asked
I held up the paper "He signed. But I'm grounded. Indefinitely"
"Looks like no partying for you" Vince said
"Yea that bites man" Jesse said
"It's fine, you guys should still go out without me"
Vince laughed "You thought I wouldn't cause you couldn't?"
I punched him
"I gotta go"
"Later" Everyone said
I headed to the house and on my way saw my dad pulling into the drive way of our house.I turned my car around and parked behind his. He turned around, saw me and walked inside.
I walked in after him
"Hey"
"This is a surprise"
"Surprise to me too"
"So you moved out"
"For the time being"
"All of a sudden I'm the bad guy huh" he laughed not like he thought it was funny, more like ironic or in disbelief, sarcastically
"Murdering someone ain't helping your imagine either"
"I'll take that. You hating me. I can live with that. I try my best to protect you, if you don't what to look at it that way then whatever"
"By sheltering me? Manipulating everything?"
"Your young, naive. I'm your father and at the end of the day I'm still gunna be"
Its hard to be mad at him. Living with my mom I always went to my father. I was daddy's little girl. He got me interested in cars, taught me to stick up for my self and protect the ones I love. Tony was the one to reinstate this and here I am slowing turning my back on him. "I know but I can't erase the past. Living with mom I had to mature and be the adult she wasn't, I think that makes me responsible enough to make my own decisions"
"Dominic"
"Yes. I really like him"
He started walking away, this isn't what he wanted to hear
"Dad!" I called out to him "Darle una oportunidad! (Give him a chance!)"
"Sé el tipo de chico que es. Solía ser de ese tipo! (I know the type of guy he is. I used to be that guy!)"
"Okay you know what, I'm gunna leave before we both say something we're gunna regret" I left
Later on that day
Mia and I laid out on the bed. I had my math text book open and on covering my face after feeling defeated. Mia on the other hand was painting her nails until she heard someone coming up the stairs. I lifted the book slightly to see that she shoved the nail polish under a pillow and acted as if she was in the middle of reading a book.
The door opened
"Girls, dinner" Tony said
"Be down in a second" Mia said
"Letty you okay" he asked
I gave a thumbs down
"She's fine, we're coming" Mia said rushing her dad out of the room
I moved the pillow aside "Your in deep shit girl"
"No!"
There was red nail polish all over the sheets
"Letty, I just destroyed the sheets. Fuck! Second time this month."
"What? When was the first time?"
"I was painting a picture and accidentally splashed orange paint on the sheets"
"And now nail polish"
"I know! There goes another month"
"Say I did it"
"Really? But you'll get grounded"
"Okay so we'll both be prisoners at the same time"
"No Letty, It was my fault but thanks" she started taking off the sheets which made the nail polish on it worse since it wasn't dry
"You sure"
"No" she was sad walking downstairs
Dom and Vince were all in the living room with the boxes of pizza
"Mia why are you carrying your sheets?" Tony asked
She opened them out "I hand an accident"
"Is that what I think it is?" Vince questioned
"I don't know" Dom responded
Dom and Vince back up
"Relax, it's not what you think. It's not her period just nail polish" I told
Tony simply said "Toss it and take out a new set"
He was walking to the front door. I didn't notice but Tony was dressed up "Big night?" I asked him
Mia stopped and observed him
"Night kids" he opened the door. Jesse and Leon stood there
"Jesse" Tony said
"Mr. T" Jesse said
"Who's he?" Tony asked
"Leon" Leon introduced himself
Tony shrugged "Okay, well there should be enough pizza. Dom your in charge"
Tony left, Leon and Jesse came inside.
Dom went to the phone and started dialing
"Who are you calling?" I asked
"A few people"
"What's he doing here?" Vince hated Leon
"Aw brotha, you didn't tell me this kid was gunna be here" Leon said to Jesse
"Relax man, its cool" Jesse explained said
"Dom!" Vince said
Dom was still on the phone but put it aside for a moment to talk to Vince "Vince it's an open party, everyone's invited"
"Yea everyone but him" Vince spat out
Leon butted in "Look, I can call a few girls over here"
This captured Vince's attention "What kinda girls"
Leon smiled
"Amy Furler?" Vince asked
"Sure, I got her digits one night when I dropped her home" Leon said
"Alright, he's cool. He can stay" Vince was just excited to get some
"So who's taking the heat when Tony catches us?" I asked
"No one's gunna get caught" Dom said "He's dressed up, out having a good time. Won't be home until morning, why you think he put me in charge"
"Cause your older"
"Hey, if you wanna go upstairs and study with Mia be my guess"
I had an important math test tomorrow and was gunna fail anyways. But on the other hand, I promised to try.
"Well?"
"I'm thinking"
Mia came back with new sheets "Go with the studying, you'll feel less guilty"
"Guess I'm studying tonight" I grabbed a box of pizza
"Kay, I'll be up in a second to tuck you in and read you a bed time story" he laughed
I took out a slice and threw it t his head but he stepped to the side so it just got stuck on the wall
"Ay! Waste of a good pizza" Vince remarked
1:48 am
"Two hours Mia! Two fucking hours and I haven't been able to concentrate on a single thing" I had changed off into a grey sports bra and navy sweatpants
"Tune it out"
"Whatchu think I've been trying to do" I got up
"Where are you going?"
"To go tell them to shut up"
"Bring me back a bottle water"
I went downstairs while putting my hair in a ponytail.
Leon was the first person to meet me he was dancing up to me and telling me to loosen up. I ignored him and walked around
I caught Dom's attention "Dom. I'm tired, is this party almost over?"
"Yea, in a sec"
A girl was rubbing up on his arm complimenting his muscles. Dom didn't really say much to her he laughed and drank his Corona.
"Dom" I snapped my fingers trying to get him to listen to me
The girl started mimicking me by snappy her fingers and saying "He's busy sweetie, why don't you get us a refill." she took the bottle from his hand and gave it to me.
Oh no she didn't, this bitch! I thought
I tried to attack her but Dom's arm hand reached out to separate us and he lifted me off the ground. The girl didn't know what was good for her because she was running her mouth
"Shit" Dom struggled to hold me "Vince, a little help"
Vince lifted up the other girl and threw her over his shoulder and escorted her out
Dom carried me upstairs to his room and dropped me on his bed
"Lemme at her!" I tried to get back he pushed me back unto the bed and locked the door
He laughed "Can't be trusted huh. Every time a girl flirts with me you fight her"
"No every time a bitch steps to me I fight her"
"Okay calm down fighter" he laughed and laid next to me "I'ma go get us some drinks can you wait here for five minutes or do I gotta board up the doors and windows"
I rolled my eyes
I waited and he came back
He gave me a beer. I sat on his bed and he laid next to me.
I felt him snapping my bra "Quit it" I pushed his hand away
He hugged me from behind "Letty your seriously gunna let her to you?"
I got up
"Letty!"
I walked back into Mia's room
"You got the water?" she asked
"Uhm..eh" I looked at my beer "here"
"Letty, I can't drunk. I need to study" she turned it down
I left it on the table and went back to studying, a while later and I was out.
I woke up the next morning. Mia and I got ready for school not bothering to go downstairs. When we finally went downstairs 20% of the school was passed out, some on top of one another, in the living room.
I proceeded outside to my car "Fuck man" my car was blocked in
"We gotta go" she looked at her watch "like now"
"I know"
"Go ask my brother"
The guys came home after us yesterday so Dom and the rest had parked on the curb and I unfortunately parked in the driveway.
"Where is he?"
"Upstairs, I think"
I ran inside the house, upstairs. Dom was in his room sleeping. "Dom"
"Ehh"
"We need a ride to school"
"I'm sleeping" he muttered
"Uh" I looked around his room, which was a fail. Someone was honking a horn, I looked out the window. Mia was rushing me. I climbed into his bed and started to look threw his pockets. Left was empty but DING! DING! DING!, the in the right were his keys.
"Victory" I rejoiced
Dom rolled to the side
I had to keep quiet before I woke him up.
I ran outside.
Mia jumped when she saw me
"Okay we gotta be quiet" I warned her as we sat in his car. I started it and I accidentally revved it
"Letty!" Mia hit my arm
"What, you think I did that on purpose?" I slowly backed out of the space trying not to hit the cars parked in front and behind Dom's.
We made it to school at the appropriate time.
When it was time to take Mia to the store after school, Dom was waiting for me.
"By your side girl" Mia comforted
We stepped out the car and she walked with me
"Mia get inside" Dom ordered
She did so
"By my side huh?" I knew she would leave "Dom.."
"Letty! What the fuck! My car?"
"I'm sorry but the party blocked me in"
"So it was okay to steal my car"
"Borrow"
"You didn't ask, I didn't know you took it"
"Bo-rrow-ed!" I clarified
"Call it what you want. It's still my car!"
I walked up to face him "And I'm sorry" I placed my hands on his chest "I am so sorry"
He kissed my forehead
"So where's my car?"
He grinned
I hit him "Dominic where's my car"
"Towed"
"You towed my car!"
"I was mad I had to do something. Your lucky that's all I did"
"Fine lets go get it"
"You have a problem there"
"What?"
"How're gunna get there?"
"Oh right, your car" I gave my best smile "Could you drive me?" I held out his keys
He took the keys out my hand "Naw"
"Naw?"
"Naw."
"Ass whole"
"Correction. Ass whole with a car" he laughed getting his car
