Lettys POV:
About twenty minutes into the meal when everyone was eating dessert or drinking (several) Coronas (Vince). I decided it was now or never.
Ahem. I have an announcement to make.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. Its now or never Let, just get it over with.
What Let, Im busy here. Vince said angrily while tipping his beer at me.
Itll only take a second, then yall can go back to your stuff, and never talk to me again. I wont take it offensively. In fact Id be quite happy cos then I could start talking to my invisible friend Bill
Your mumbling let, what was it you wanted to say. Unless..That wasnt it, was it? Cos ya know, it sucked. Mia declared.
Nah, sorry that wasnt it. Okay. I took a deep breath In and out, quick like a cat, it wont hurt you. Well, it wont hurt you but Domll probably kill you.
Today, when I came to the garage early and you asked why I wasnt at school I looked at Dom. It was because I wasnt allowed to be at school. I got expelled.
Breathe in, breathe out, in, out dont pass out not good
WHAT?!!!!!!!!! Mia And Dom said in unison. They really had that sibling connection thing down. They looked really, really pissed. I looked at Leon and Jesse for support. They had both dropped out of school; it wasnt that different from being expelled. Was it?
WHAT?!!!!Letty, are you even listening to me? What the @#%$ did you do?
Dom shouted. It wasnt him I was scared of when he was like this; I was scared of what he could do.
Im really sorry, I just. Well, @#%$ Eliza @#%$ Tran started on me and I just flipped. I couldnt take it any more and I beat the @#%$ out of her. Im really sorry, I didnt mean to, it just happened. Although Im kinda glad I did it. She looks well ugly now I smirked remembering what a mess Id made of her face, ya know, right before two security guards dragged me in a headlock to the reception.
YOU GOT EXPELLED OVER ELIZA TRAN!!! Dom screamed. Still shouting, Not good.
WELL YOURE THE ONE THAT @#%$ HER. I THINK THATS A LITTLE WORSE!!! No, no, no. @#%$, that was not the smartest thing youve ever said. Hes gonna kill you. Prepare to die Letty. Look at everyone, get a mental picture of them before you leave this world. Mia looked horribly upset, I think she was about to cry, @#%$, I hate it when Mia cries, especially when its me that caused it. Leon looked surprised and a bit hurt I guess hes upset cause I didnt tell him earlier. Jesse looked as though he had already forgotten what Id said and was sat wondering why Dom was so angry. And Vince I laughed when I saw him
Why are you laughing? Do you think this is funny? Mia asked hurt.
No Mia, its not that. I.. if I dont laugh Im gonna cry. Oohh thats good. Yup, it worked, Dom seems to have backed off a bit, and Mia looks sorry for me instead of being angry at me. Looking back at Vince I couldnt stop laughing. He looked impressed; he actually looked impressed with me. He was sat there cold corona in his hand, smirking at me, he wasnt angry, or upset or surprised. Just impressed. He couldve been impressed with his beer though. He has an unnatural affection towards those things.
Get out. A voice from my right said coldly.
What? I said barely audible, I looked around, everyone else was surprised at Doms reaction to my words.
What? You leave school and your hearing goes with it? I said get out of my kitchen. @#%$ off to my sisters room. I cant look at you right now. He didnt even look at me when he said it. Just clenched his jaw a couple of times and went back to drinking.
Dom
He looked at me. The anger in his eyes noticeable, but there was something else. What was it? Hurt? Was he actually hurt by what Id said about him @#%$ Eliza Tran? He looked away and the room was silent, An unusual thing for the Toretto household.
Guys, I stood up, knowing the best thing I could do was leave, especially after Doms not so polite theoretical shove out of the door. Im really sorry for getting expelled. Although I am glad I @#%$ up that bitchs face. I smirked, and surprisingly, so did Dom, but he stopped as soon as hed started. Anyways, I can try and get back into school if thats what you want from me, but I dont want to go back. I figured that Id go and get a job somewhere, ya know, just to earn my keep. I turned and started out the room. I didnt mean to upset you Mia. And Dom, I looked straight into his eyes, to show I was being honest. I didnt mean to disappoint you.
Once, I was in Mias room I had calmed down a bit. I really was going to get a job. Hopefully a garage will want extra work. Especially if its from someone from the Toretto team.
About four hours passed and I could hear them all talking in the living room. May as well go down there, Ive got nothing to lose.
Hey let, you comin to watch a movie? Jesse smiled at me as I got to the bottom stair.
Ummmm . I faltered. Was I welcome?
See? No-one likes your damn movies Jess. Dom commented. Letts trying to think of an excuse to get out of here. He said smiling at me.
Huh? What? Huh? Was he being nice? Was he sticking up for me? Dont be stupid Let, he probably wants to embarrass you in some way. Although he was still
smiling at me.
Soooo..You gonna sit wit us or are you gonna sit with yourself in Mias room. Leon asked eyebrows raised.
I slept in Mias room because there were no other rooms spare. In the Toretto house lived Jesse, Vince, Dom, Leon, Mia, and I, and someone had to share. Vince wasnt too happy about having to share with Dom and all the skanks he @#%$..
Yea, cool , Ill just get a drink and Ill come and watch your stupid movie. I grumbled jokingly. Anyone want? I asked knowing theyd all want one.
Yup
Yes please
Sure girl
Nah, Ive got three of these puppies by my side.
Ill help ya.
Thanks. I started to walk off, until I realised whod said it. My head shot up, it was Dom, who simply walked towards me smiling.
What the hell? Why is he being so nice to me?
Walking to the kitchen I opened the fridge getting the beers out and placing them on the counter, remembering Mias drink I turned to get it and found myself face to face with Dominic.
What? I asked with menace and a scowl on my face.
He looked serious, the smile gone from his face.
Letty, what you said earlier about me and Eliza. It hurt.
Close your mouth Letty, you might give him the wrong idea.
I know what I said to you was harsh, but Lett, I..I..thought youd know better. That bitch aint worth getting expelled for.
I opened my mouth to say that I knew that but he stopped me.
Just let me talk aight Let? I nodded.
Okay, she aint worth it but whats done is done. That school wont let you back in, theyve been waiting for an excuse to kick you out for months.
My eyebrows shot up What? Why didnt I know about that, I just thought they didnt like me.
Yea Lett, He chuckled noticing my look. Theyve been ringing me practically every other day, complaining about something youve done and how they wont accept any more. Till now Ive managed to calm hem down, but ii guess today was the final straw.
OH MY GOD!! Hes been helping me? How come I didnt know? That @#%$ school has been ringing him constantly and he hasnt even ragged on me about it. He hasnt said anything, just been helping me behind my back.
But, you said you were gonna go and get a job to pay your keep. Well first off, you dont have to pay keep. This is youre home just as much as it is Mias. Youve practically lived here all your life anyways, no point in breaking the habit of a lifetime now. Secondly, youve got a job. At DTS, now you dont have any other commitments, you can work there full time. The pay will be @#%$, but youve never minded before. You up for it?
Yuh I snorted. Oh, Arletta, that was not attractive.
Laughing he carried on Aight, good. Youll start tomorrow. 9am sharp, Ill get you up and give you a lift, no one else will be in until 11.
How come I have to be in early?
Cos its the only punishment I could think of. He smirked.
Oh no. You mean I have to work on cars for a long time? Oh, the punishment. I raised a hand feigning distress and his swatted it away laughing at me.
Yes, sir. I think I could get5 used to this punishment thing. He started walking back to the others.
If I get to see you more often, its not punishment, its a blessing.
I believe that just because someone doesnt love you the way you want them to, it doesnt mean they dont love you with all they have.
