Dom's POV
I felt like punching myself as I let the words slip out of my mouth. I'll never the forget the look on Letty's face as she let the words sink in. I could count on one hand the amount of time I had seen Letty cry the other week included. I heard the slap before I felt it, she had done it so fast I didn't even see her move.
"You're a fucking bastard Dom." I flinched as I heard her tone and I knew by her tone that she was really hurt and I hated myself for being the one who had hurt her. I closed my eyes as I heard her storm out of the house and pull away.
"Dom what the fuck were you thinking?" Vince yelled.
"You're a fucking idiot Dom she's only just started to recover and you go and tell her it was her fault after all this time of us telling her it wasn't. You'll be lucky if she ever speaks to you again." Mia screamed before storming back upstairs.
I cursed and turned to Vince who was standing there staring angrily at me.
"I never meant to say that. I was just so angry that she had been kissing him." Vince's stare softened a bit at my words.
"You knew that it was going to happen, she's dating the guy."
"Doesn't make it hurt any less to see her with another guy." I said bitterly.
"You need to tell her how you feel Dom, or you're jealousy is going to drive her away." He said as he left me alone.
I sighed and headed out to the garage to work on the charger. I needed a distraction but at the same time I also knew I was stalling in apologising to Letty, I would let her cool down first.
It was dinner time before I came back inside and I expected Letty to be there but she wasn't. I sat down and I was starting to worry about where she was. Letty had never not come home, she would leave for two hours tops but would always be back. Maybe I had hurt her more then I realised.
It was nine o'clock and Letty still hadn't returned and I wasn't the only one starting to worry. We were going crazy thinking something bad had happened, only Mia was unfazed which meant she knew where Letty was.
"Mia, where's Letty? And don't bullshit I know you know where she is."
"I'm not telling you Dom, she needs time to think." I glared at Mia but she didn't budge so eventually I gave up knowing I wouldn't win.
I couldn't sleep I ended up going for a drive and found myself sitting in front of Nathan's house. I didn't know for sure but I had a feeling this is where she was. I don't remember how long I sat parked on the side of the rode before I saw the lights in the house flick off and I sighed before starting the car and heading back to the house.
Mia was up waiting for me when I arrived back. Sighing I sat across from her at the table and waited for her to speak.
"Where did you go?" she asked knowingly. I rolled my eyes Letty or someone had obviously seen me sitting out the front of the house.
"I sat in front of Nathan's, I figured that's where she is." Mia sighed but nodded.
"Why did you have to say that to her Dom?" I sighed and rubbed my head.
"It just came out Mia, I was just so angry that she was making out with him after she had spent the night in my bed again and then kissed me back this morning." I silently cursed as I saw Mia's shocked face.
"You guys did what?" I sighed.
"I thought she would have told you. Isn't that what you girls do?"
"Don't even try to make a joke out of this. You kissed Letty?"
"Come on Mia, you're not stupid. I'm sure that at some point you had figured out that I had feelings for Letty."
"Yes, but you have never made a god damn move on her so I was glad when she started dating Nathan. Wait Nathan…. Letty's cheated on Nathan."
"I know, why do you think I was so fucking mad when I got home and found them kissing. She obviously still hasn't told him."
She was quiet for a moment and waited for her to say something.
"You've hurt her Dom."
"I know and I want to make it right."
"Just give it time, Letty's always been like a sister to me and I know this is wrong to say but I'm glad you two finally made a move. It's just Nathan and Tyler are good friends of ours and if they ever find out that Letty kissed you while going out with Nathan how do you think that would look on us? I'm your sister Dom and at the end of the day whatever happens I side with my family and they know that." I nodded understanding the position I had put them both in.
"Speaking of Tyler, you and I need to have a talk."
"Dom don't even go there."
"You think I didn't notice Tyler sneaking out after Nathan left? Mia I'd like to think I've been nice about letting you date whoever you want to but there were ground rules remember?" she rolled her eyes and huffed before nodding.
"Yeah I remember. No boys in my room again okay?" I nodded satisfied with her answer.
"Good now go back to bed. And if you speak to Letty, can you tell her I want to speak with her?" she nodded before getting up, I watched as she paused at the door.
"Just for the record Dom nothing happened with Tyler up in my room."
"Lucky for him." I muttered as I stood up to get a beer. I heard Mia laugh quietly as she walked back up to her room.
I didn't sleep that night, I was on edge I just wanted Letty to come back home. It was Friday so I was hoping with the races on tonight Letty would come home. It was 7:30 when I heard Mia's phone ring. I sat in the kitchen and listened in on the one sided conversation, Mia didn't know I was only a room away by the way she was talking.
"Hey" I listened as there was a pause in conversation, obviously the person on the other end was speaking and at this point I had guessed it was Letty.
Mia's POV
"Hey" I said as I answered my phone.
"Hey, I need you to pack a bag for me."
"What do you mean what kind of a bag?"
"Mainly just some clothes and stuff like that."
"Why would you need me to do that? The races are on tonight aren't you coming?" I asked confused, there was a pause on the other end of the line before she sighed and started to explain.
"Nathan's parents are always away on business and he's asked me to stay with him for a while. I've agreed I don't want to be at home right now Mi. I won't be at the races, I'm just really hurt right now I need some space to think. So can you do it for me?"
"Letty no you can't, you have to come home. Letty he's really sorry and he wants to talk to you and make things right." I begged.
"Mia I don't want to talk to him right now. I can't stay there, I'm sorry."
"Please he told me what happened yesterday morning, can't you just talk to him about it?" There was a sharp gasp on the other end.
"Then you can see why I can't stay. Please Mia I'm begging can you a bag for me?"
"Letty please be reasonable, moving out isn't the answer." I was getting a bit hysterical at this point and I looked around when I noticed everyone suddenly staring at me, including Dom who had just walked out of the kitchen. Sighing I tried to head for the back door but Dom blocked my path and took my phone putting it on speaker.
"Mia please understand okay, I just need to get away for a while and sort my head out before I speak with him." I was silent, I didn't know what to say so I waited to see if Dom said anything.
"Mia?" she asked when I had said nothing. I begged Dom with my eyes to say something, Vince also seemed to be silently begging Dom as it started to sink in that Letty wasn't planning on coming home anytime soon.
Dom nodded his head to the back door and we all left Dom alone to talk with Letty.
"Is she really thinking about leaving?" Leon asked as we sat outside on the picnic table. Unable to form any words I just nodded as Jesse pulled me in for a hug. It felt like I was losing my best friend and sister.
"Dom will fix it Mia." Vince said as he rubbed my back.
"I hope so." I said quietly as we sat there silence just waiting.
