Letty had finally reach her destination two days after leaving Los Angeles behind . Letty entered the city limits via bus for the first time in three years and the place had not change in that time it was still as rundown as it was back then.
Letty had left her car behind in Los Angeles at a friend's of Dom's ,she didn't want the lowlife to know she had something of value that he could take off her and sell, No the car was hers. She and Dom had spent hours building her first car something she would never have had if she had stayed here three years ago.
the car was better off where it was in Los Angeles outside of her father reach she knew the car would be safe with Nathan no one would mess with anything to do with Dom therefore the car would be safe.
Letty stood outside the block of apartments she grownup in . She never wanted to return here but with no other options open to her she had no choice but to try this. Thinking back to the night she had left here three years ago and why it was such a bitter memory for her .
Memory of that night
She had gotten into another fight with her father over receiving a detention from school for not handing in her English homework due in that day . The school hand phone home informing her father that she had received a detention and had even back talk to her teacher when ask why she could not submit her homework .
Letty remembers leaving school early that day missing her last two periods to go to the mall with her friend Maggie . Back then school and Letty didn't mix well she hates been stuck in classes learning things that would not effected her in the real world been from the projects, where would she ever use history not like she could afford to go to college and there's were no jobs in this area where she would be required to know shit like that.
Letty remembers been fourteen and walking into the apartment to find her father siting waiting for her at the kitchen table bottle of beer already in hand. she could also see the kitchen countertop had five more empty beer bottles . This was not good and she knew it, when he saw her enter the apartment he stand-up and with out even waiting for Letty to say anything, he started shouting that she had better start shaping up or he would shape her up himself. She had four year of school left and he best not receive anymore phone call from that school again or else , your embarrassing me .
Letty had never been good with confrontation, if anyone got into her face she would normal get right back into theirs normally with her fists doing the talking for her . However this was her six foot two fther so she took out her anger in words.
" well where has school ever got you, I tell you where nowhere you still sat in this shit hole of a apartment going nowhere been a two bit drunk, a nobody" . That's when it happened it was so fast she didn't have time to do anything, even if she did have time she didn't think she could have stop him if she had tried.
The hit was to the side of her head which knocking her to the floor. This was the first time he had ever hit her , he never done this to her before. After the hit He said he was sorry and stumble toward his bedroom closing the door after entering never double checking to see if she was OK and had gotten back up he just up and left her there on her own on floor.
I remember siting there thinking what just happen, then I started remembering all the times I heard him yelling at my mum. Him hitting her when she was living there that thought alone in the end made up her mind.
she would not become her mother Letty stood and made her way to her bedroom pack her clothes and then put a letter together for tiny which she posted under his door. Then without looking back Letty left the apartment behind. A month later she landed in Los Angeles, where she meat Dom and the Toretto's.
Letty came out of the memory still stood in front of the building , it was now or never. Letty pulled her bag up higher and made her way into the apartment building and therefore back into her old life.
