30th June- LA, United states
Toretto's house
Mia's POV
It was midday and I was starting to worry about Letty. She had arrived late in the afternoon yesterday and gone straight to sleep but she hadn't yet woken. I knew just by looking at her she was exhausted but I was worried. Her state of mind was what I worried about the most. Dom had left her. I couldn't imagine how she was feeling. At sixteen I had been shattered when I found out Brian had betrayed us. But I had been young and while I had grown to realize back then I had loved him, it didn't compare to the love Dom and Letty had for each other.
The shrill ring of the phone interrupted my thoughts. Picking it up quickly afraid it would wake Letty, I answered.
"Hello?"
"Mia." I gasped and placed a hand over my mouth.
"Dom thank god." I breathed.
"Mia is Letty there?" He rushed out.
"She arrived yesterday."
"Oh thank god. I called Leon and he hasn't heard from her, you were my last hope."
"Dom what have you done." I spoke.
"I had to Mia. I need her safe and that's not with me."
"Dom's she heartbroken."
"You think I'm not? You think it was easy for me to up and walk? I ripped my heart out the minute I left her." He stressed.
"Where are you?" I asked afraid of the answer.
"I'm not telling you where, but I'll leave you a number. Only contact me on it if it's an emergency."
"Dom." I started but he cut me off.
"No Mia. I need her safe, I can't risk her coming after me. I know you, you'll cave." I said nothing knowing he was right. It was better I didn't know.
"Where is she?" He asked softly. I could hear the pain in his voice and my heart broke for them.
"Asleep, she went to sleep when she arrived and hasn't woken since."
"What time yesterday?" He demanded.
"I don't know Dom, two- two thirty maybe." I said quietly.
"Wake her."
"Dom she's exhausted." I stated.
"Mia wake her." He growled.
"Why?" I demanded.
"She needs to eat, she's missed three maybe even four meals. Make her eat." He stressed. His tone made me frown. There was something behind his words that made me worry. I'd have to keep an open eye.
"Okay I'll wake her."
"I mean it Mia you make her eat. Three times plus a day, don't take no for answer."
"Okay I promise…. Dom what's going on?"
"Mia I have to go, I'll ring again when I can." He ignored my question, instead giving me the number before hanging up.
Ending the call I sat the phone back on its cradle. Looking up at the ceiling as I breathed in and out, I walked out of the kitchen and up the staircase. Walking down the hallway I slowed my steps as I neared Letty's room.
Pushing open the door I was surprised to find her not in bed. Frowning I turned to the bathroom. I paused as I heard the retching sounds coming from the other side of the door.
'Letty hadn't eaten for a whole day why would she be throwing up?'
I heard the toilet flush and the tap turn on. Knowing she wouldn't want me knowing about this I backed out of the room shutting the door behind me quietly. Waiting at the end of the hall until I heard her shuffling about in the main bedroom I walked back to the door knocking softly.
"Come in." Pushing open the door I pretended like I hadn't heard anything or that she didn't look like death as I smiled at her.
"Hey you hungry?" I asked her.
"Um yeah a little." She said and I nodded.
"Great come down and I'll make you something." I said.
"Mia."
"Yeah?" I asked as I paused at the door.
"Who was on the phone before?" I stayed silent, whether from shock that she had heard it ring or just knowing a lie wouldn't cut it, I didn't know.
"He didn't have anything to say to me huh?" She spat.
"Let, I don't know why he left but I know he's hurting just as much as you." I said softly.
"Somehow I doubt that." She muttered. Knowing she was already hurting, not wanting to make it worse I let it go.
"I'll go get your lunch ready, any requests?" I asked.
"Just something with cheese on it." She sighed.
"Cheese?" I asked confused.
"Yeah… so what?" she defended.
"Nothing, thought you hated cheese."
"Well I just feel like cheese okay."
"Hey I was just teasing." I spoke lightly after her tone turned hostile.
"I know I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap."
"It's okay." I said lightly as I walked out and back downstairs.
"Cheese?" I asked myself confused. I knew for a fact Letty hated cheese. What the hell was going on?
I was just finishing off two sandwiches when Letty entered the kitchen. I gave her a small smile as I sat them down in front of her.
"Thanks Mia."
"It's okay, been a while since I've had someone to look after."
"You okay?" She asked slowly.
"I'm fine, just worried about all of you. Vince went to jail, driver ID him." I said quietly.
"When?" She asked shocked.
"A little while back, now they're out for Dom and …. Brian." I said. Her expression hardened at the name but she said nothing and for that I was grateful.
"What about me and Le?" She asked.
"Neither of you were seen. Police can't prove anything. It doesn't stop them from watching the house though. Like Dom would be stupid enough to come back here." I muttered.
"So am I safe or do I need to leave again?" She asked seriously.
"I think you'll be okay, just lay low yeah? Our family doesn't need any more trouble." I said honestly and she nodded.
We spent an hour or so talking, I tried bringing up Dom but she shut me down each time. I took the time she was talking to look her over properly. She looked awful.
"Let you don't look too well, maybe you should see a doctor." I said lightly.
"Yes Doctor Mia." She sassed half-heartedly.
"Not yet I'm not." I said smiling.
"Yeah I guess I should. I'll make an appointment for later on today."
"Let is there anything I should know? When I spoke to Dom he was really edgy about you not having eaten yet."
"Mia I'm fine. I appreciate your concern, I do, but I don't want to talk about Dom. He doesn't deserve to care what happens to me now." She said faintly before she stood taking her plate to the sink.
"Let." I tried softly but she shook her head, the pained look her face was enough for me to stop.
"I'm going to go make that appointment and leave. I'll see you later." She said before leaving the kitchen. Sighing I knew there was nothing I could say to make her anger for Dom subside and to be truthful despite that I was trying I wasn't really sure I wanted to.
Sighing I got up and cleaned the kitchen. Something was wrong with Letty; I'd have to keep an eye out.
