We drove through the night back towards Rio, I'd volunteered to do most of the driving because the last thing I wanted to do was sleep and be reminded of my father. I knew Dom could tell something was wrong with me, but thankfully he let it be for now. We got to the safe house around nine in the morning, Brian sprinted ahead of us prying that Mia was okay. When Dom and I entered I sighed with relief when I saw her hugging Brian.
I smiled and she run over to me, pulling me into a hug. I relaxed into it and let out a breath. Pulling back I eyed the metal pipe in he head and smirked. Dom stepped forwards and kissed the top of her head. "Just like a Toretto." He said gesturing to the pipe.
"Where's Vince?" Mia questioned, looking behind us.

"That's a good question." Brian stated, shaking his head. I didn't understand, Vince knew to meet us here. My mind started spinning with the countless possibilities of what might have happened to him and it made me feel sick. I felt Dom touch my arm and it made my mind ease a little.

"He'll be here." He assured, moving towards the car Mia took off the train. I followed him and bent down next to it, looking it over.

"Guy's we're all over the news." Mia said, with a sigh. "They're blaming us for the killing of those DEA agents on the train."

"Which mean's we just jumped to the top of the wanted list." Brian commented as he and Mia walked towards us and stopped in front of the car. "The feds have got to show everyone that they're agents are off limits. They're going to send there best guys, we got to get out of here."

"The one thing we know for sure, is that they wanted this car." Dom stated, coming to a stop by me. I stood up and leaned back against the car.

"So theres something in it." Brian said.

I looked around us and pursed my lips, pushing myself off the car. "We find out what it is, we know what we're up against."

We spent the rest of the day working on the car. Taking it apart piece by piece. I changed into some ripped jeans and a dark green tank top, which was know covered in grease. I was working next to Dom and my attention veered. His mussels flexed as he worked causing me to licked my lips as I tried to control my breathing. A smirk crossed Dom's lips when he caught me looking at him out of the corner of his eye.

"You distracting me." I scolded jokingly, setting down my wrench. Dom chuckled and turned to face me. I moved closer to him and wrapped my hands around his neck, he brought his lips down and they meet mine. God, how I missed this. Missed him.

"I missed you." He mumbled, moving his lips to my neck. I relished in his touch, moving even closer to him.

A door slam broke me out of my 'Dom daze' and we pulled apart. Vince strolled in with a smirk, looking at the car. "God, damn. What a mess."

"Where have you been, man?" Brian asked, a not so subtle hatred in his voice.

Vince laughed lightly and looked towards him. "You better check that tone." This was so going to end badly if someone didn't step in. I looked at Dom who just stood there, his arm still around my waist.

"You just better answer the God damn question." Brian countered, standing up and moving towards Vince. I groaned and reluctantly left Dom's warm embrace and went to stand in-between the two men.

"Stop it." I demanded, scoffing at the two of them. "Both of you."

Dom stepped forward and looked towards Vince. Mia successfully pulled Brian back and kept her arms around him to keep him in place while I pushed Vince back a couple steps. "Where were you Vince?" Dom asked.

"Guys all over the favela are asking about you." Vince stated. "Couldn't get out of there without leading them straight to you. I had to wait them out."

Brian laughed and came towards Vince again who was standing by my side. "That is such horse shit." He shook his head before lunging at Vince. "That was your job..." I grabbed Vince by the shirt and pulled him back with the help of Dom. Brian was yelling and Vince matched his tone.

"Enough, O'Connor." Dom shouted, quieting everyone down. "If he said he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Go walk it off." Brian hesitated before turning and stalking off. I shared a glance with Mia before she went after him. I turned to Vince and punched his shoulder, he growled down at me and I just scoffed before returning my attention back to the car.

It was late and I was sitting on the edge of the bed I shared with Dom. Brian and Mia had gone to bed a long time ago and it was nearing one in the morning. I glanced back at Dom who was sleeping peacefully like I wished I could. I was exhausted and my eyes were drooping but I couldn't bring myself to close my eyes. The nightmare that awaited me wasn't worth it. I felt the bed shift causing me to sigh, Dom sat up and put his hand on my shoulder. I turned around to look at him and saw the concern burning behind his eyes. I threw a fake smile his way and laid down next to him.

"You ready to talk?" He asked, grabbing my hip and pulling my closer to him. I sucked in a deep breath and closed my eyes briefly. I had opened up to Dom about my father before but I hadn't gone into detail. He knew that my father beat me and made my childhood a living hell, he even knew what he'd done to me at night.

"I've been having nightmares." I admitted quietly. "Like flashbacks of my past and I'm having a hard time sleeping lately." I shifted a little trying to shed that feeling of vulnerability but it wasn't working. "There about my dad."

I felt Dom's grip tighten at the mention of him, he closed his eyes and leaned close to my ear. "You know you're safe right? I'll never let anything happen to you." His voice was so full of determination and love it nearly brought me to tears. "I love you, so much." He whispered, kissing the top of my head. "I couldn't do any of this without you by my side."

I smiled slightly before my face turned serious and I moved so that I was straddling his hips. "When they sentenced you..." My breath hitched as I put my hands on his chest. "I felt like my whole world was crumbling around me. I can't loose you, Dom. I don't think you understand how much I need you. How much I love you. It's crazy to think about but it's true." I paused for a second and took one of my hands, gently touching his cheek. 'You know I don't believe in fate. But I believe in us. I believe in you. Always."
