28th November- Los Angeles, United States
Toretto house
Letty's POV
It was three-thirty in the morning when I woke unable to sleep anymore.Glancing around in the darkness I could just make out Mia's shape in the bed but her soft breathing let me know she was still asleep. Quietly pushing the covers off me I got up heading for the door, closing it behind me as I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. I didn't turn the light on; the street lamp outside the window providing enough light.
I grabbed a clean glass from the sink, passing it under the tap until it filled halfway. Sipping it slowly I leant against the sink just watching my house across the street. The silence in the house was loud and deafening, so much so I started hearing odd sounds that started to put me on edge.
Once the water was gone I moved to the table, spending the remaining hours of the early morning sitting in the darkness with only my thoughts for companionship. Come first light that's the way Dom, Tony and Vince found me as they walked into the kitchen startling me from my thoughts.
"Letty, what are you doing up sweetheart?" Tony asked after I had snapped out of my trance.
"I couldn't sleep. Where's mum?" I asked and he pointed upstairs.
"Your mum and I have a couple of things to do today. Dom and Vince have agreed to work for me; Dom's even offered to teach you for the day if you're still up for it?" He asked softly. I knew by the worried looks I was getting from Vince and Dom they knew everything, or close enough to. The thought made me uncomfortable.
'Maybe that's why Dom had been so nice to me the night before.' I thought nodding to Tony, letting him know I was fine to start even though deep down I was a mess of nerves.
"You better go get ready, we'll leave after breakfast." Vince said. I was initially shocked at his kindness, having never heard Vince be polite to me but then it made sense. They weren't worried, they felt sorry for me.
"Yeah sure, I'll be done in a minute." I said quietly as I fled the room quickly. It's not that I didn't appreciate their kindness; it was definitely a change from their teasing and hurtful ways. It just felt forced. I didn't want nor did I need their pity.
I got changed into the set of clothes that I had with me; a pair of worn out jeans and a tank top. They were old enough for me not to care if they got ruined. Running my hands through my hair I pulled it up into a ponytail before leaving the bathroom. I could hear the boys and Tony talking in the kitchen in hushed whispers. It peaked my interest so I stood outside to listen in.
"They're not seriously going back are they dad?" Dom asked shocked.
"Maria needs to sort a few things out before she can leave him; we're hoping to do that today. If we can't then they won't have a choice. They'll have to go back until everything's in order. He's not going to let them go that easily, especially not Letty. Maria and I are preparing for one hell of a fight."
"So what's going to happen today then?"
"I need you two to keep a close eye, and I mean a very close eye on Letty. If he comes to the garage you keep her away from him, ring the police then you ring me. He may be her father but the man is dangerous. No heroics, is that clear?" He ordered. I listened as they both agreed to Tony's request, although it was rather reluctant.
"You really think he'll show up?" I waited silently wondering the same thing.
"Yes I do. I need your word Dominic you'll look after her."
"Dad you know I will."
"Vince?" Tony asked.
"Mr T she may be annoying most of the time but I'd never put her life on the line." Vince swore.
"That's good to hear."
"He didn't hurt her did he?" Dom asked carefully.
"No, but Maria said he got very close. Letty got sent to her room and while they were fighting she had to stop him a number of times from going upstairs. Adrian called Letty a few things last night, none that I want to repeat, but you get the idea. Maria said he's convinced himself that she's sleeping around with you, so just be careful alright." I closed my eyes as I remembered my dad's words.
"Dad you know that's not true. Letty's just a kid, I have no interest in her." Hearing that hurt, I'd have to get better at pretending I didn't like him then maybe one day it would just go away.
"Keep your voice down alright? For now you don't need to convince me." It was silent for a while and I was left wondering what he meant by that. I was getting ready to walk in when I heard Dom say something else so I paused.
"Where's Letty? She needs to eat before we go." Dom said. Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves I stepped into the kitchen.
"I'm here." I answered while I ignored their looks of surprise. I knew they were probably wondering what I had heard but I remained indifferent and made it seem like I hadn't heard a thing.
"I'm not hungry." I jumped in quietly as Tony went to speak.
"Letty you need-."
"Tony I don't want anything. Can we go now?" I pleaded in apprehension.
"Yeah come on." Dom said as Tony gave me pat on the back before we left. Both Dom and Vince were driving and they asked who I wanted to ride with. Hearing the knowing tone in Vince's words and the smirk that was plastered on his face it pissed me off. Wanting nothing more than to wipe the smirk of his face, I chose to go one better instead.
"I'll ride with Vince." I said not looking at either of them as I kept walking to Vince's car. Behind me I heard them both pause, no doubt looking at me or each other in confusion.
"Really?" Vince asked in surprise. Sure enough when I turned, nodding seriously to Vince's question, they were both looking at me in surprise.
"Uh okay, see you at the garage." Dom said slowly as he exchanged a look of confusion with Vince.
The ride over to the garage was pretty much silent as I stared out the window at the scenery passing us by. After a while though I could feel Vince's looks burning a hole in my head.
"What?" I snapped turning to face him.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." He mumbled knowing he had been caught out in his staring. I stared at him blankly for a moment before turning away, looking out the window once again.
"I'm fine." I muttered.
"Okay. So how come you didn't ride with Dom?" He probed. I shrugged keeping my face straight as I replied.
"Because I didn't want to, why's that a problem?" I questioned seriously.
"Guess it's not; just very un-Letty like." I frowned.
"Vince you don't know the first thing about me, only what you've assumed." I snapped.
"Point taken, but no offence I didn't want to know you back then." He mumbled.
"God you're such an asshole Vince." I yelled and he frowned.
"I'm an asshole?" He asked incredulously.
"Yeah you are. Face it the only reason you're even being nice to me is because of Tony." I hissed.
"It's not just because of Tony." He snapped and I glared at him.
"Oh right I forgot, it's because you feel sorry for me because of my father." I spat. I took his silence as his answer and the fact he refused to look my way instead keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
"We're worried that's all. When we found out it was a shock to the system. We didn't know about how bad you had it at home." He spoke a good while later but I chose to ignore his explanation. The rest of the car ride was silent, Vince
having gotten the hint that I wasn't going to talk to him and I was mad.
The minute the car pulled into the garage I jumped out of the car before it even came to a complete stop. I briefly heard Vince's curse before I slammed the car door shut knowing he would hate that.
"What's wrong with you?" Dom demanded as he came up behind me after I slammed the door shut.
"Nothing." I muttered angrily while he raised an eyebrow at Vince over my head.
"What are you looking at me for?" Vince snapped at Dom.
"Let can you go open up, it's that key." Dom said handing me a set of keys. I took them with a roll of my eyes.
'I know what key it is.' I thought pissed off as I started walking away, as I did though I heard Dom hiss something at Vince.
"I thought you promised to be nice, why did you have to go and piss her off?"
"Hey I only said choosing to ride with me was very un-Letty like, it's not my fault she blew a fuse over it."
Shaking my head slightly I ignored the rest of their conversation and unlocked the doors. I may have never actually worked in the garage but I was here a fair bit just watching them work. I knew enough. I walked in pressing the button to make the roller door go up before I flipped on all the lights. Walking into the back office I made my way to the set of hooks on the wall behind the desk where a large selection of keys sat. Placing the set in the allocated spot I took a step back before turning to leave but I hit something hard and stumbled backwards.
"Sorry, you okay?" I glared rubbing my shoulder where it hurt after it collided with Dom's rather large form.
"Fine, why were you standing so damn close for anyway?" I asked as I stepped around him.
"I didn't think I was sorry, thanks for opening too by the way." I nodded in thanks before it went silent again as he picked up a stack of papers rifling through them. I sat on the filing cabinet and just looked around the office, though I was tempted to watch Dom but I thought better of it. I had to act like I didn't care.
"Listen about my dad…" I started and his head snapped up at the mention of it.
"Yeah?" He asked softly as he watched me no longer interested in the paper work in his hand.
"I heard what he said to you last night. I'm sorry; he just gets like that sometimes." I said trying to play it off, though I knew it was useless. Vince had admitted they knew. He was silent for a moment, no doubt thinking of what to say, as he looked me over.
"You don't have to apologize for his behavior Letty." I blinked at him in surprise.
"I… I know that." I said quietly. I mean I did right?
"He'd been drinking again hadn't he?" I froze at the question. Though I knew they knew, it was still a shock hearing the words out loud.
"I... I don't know what you mean." I stuttered and he frowned at me.
"Come on Letty don't play dumb, you know I know what's been happening. That's why I walked you home; I wanted to make sure you were going to be okay. Are you okay?" I stayed silent and I looked downwards no longer able to look at him. I could hear Vince digging through tools in the workshop muttering to himself; I imagined Dom had given him an earful.
"Let?" I slid off the cabinet and refused to look at him.
"Uh so what did you want me to do today?" I asked brushing his question off. I heard him sigh and I chanced a glance at him. He was looking at me wordlessly before he shook his head, no doubt knowing I wasn't going to say anything.
"You can help me with the white Ford over there. It needs the brake pads replaced and it's the one that's being picked up first." I nodded and walked out of the office. Vince looked up as I came out, I watched as he leaned over picking something up before throwing it to me. I caught it without thinking.
"They're the smallest we have but they should fit." I looked down to the coveralls in my hand and nodded.
"Thanks." I said and he nodded sending me a small smile before going back to work. I stepped into them quickly and was in the middle of buttoning them up when Dom came out also dressed in his.
"Ready?" I nodded following him over to the car where he began explaining and teaching me what to do.
An hour later
"I'm surprised." Dom said after we'd finished.
"About what?" I asked confused, my earlier anger having been forgotten.
"That you actually seem to know what you're doing. I thought you were going to be a nightmare to teach." I frowned.
"How long have I been interested in cars?" I asked frowning and he shrugged.
"I always thought you just hung around because you liked me." He said cockily and I shook my head.
"Dom believe it or not, not everything is about you." I explained as he blushed a little.
"I didn't mean it like that." He said quickly.
"Yes you did." I cut him off.
"Okay fine, I just never knew you were really into cars as much as you said you were." I shrugged.
"All you had to do was ask." He was silent before he nodded.
"Yeah, I should of." I sighed and looked away for a moment before speaking.
"My dad taught me about cars, I hung around because I was genuinely interested." I explained but left it at that.
"Did you say you're dad taught you?" Vince asked from behind. Knowing I would have to explain now I nodded.
"Yeah it was a hobby of his when he was younger, doing up cars with his mates. He used to teach me a few things when he had free time." I said quietly.
"You said used to, why doesn't he do it now?" Vince asked glancing back at Dom and I knew what he was getting at. They were trying to get me to admit it, but saying the words out loud to them made it too real.
"I don't know." I lied as I turned away.
"Let, we just want to help." Dom spoke gently as he wiped his hands before handing me the rag. I was silent as I wiped my hands, staring at a grease spot on the floor.
"At the end of the day no matter was he does he's still my dad. I can't just flick a switch and forget all the good times." I said quietly as I turned my head to face Dom.
"No one expects you to but at the same time he's hurting you and your mum, he has to be stopped. He has a problem Letty, he needs help."
"My old man was like that." Vince admitted as he leant against the car he was working on. I sat on the hood of the Ford we had just fixed and listened to Vince. I had only ever heard bits and pieces of his home life.
"Only difference is I never had any good memories of him. He used to beat the shit out of my mum and drink like crazy. Hit me a couple of times but mostly just laid into mum."
"So what happened?" I asked quietly interested.
"He went on a bender one night and beat mum nearly to death. She's been in rehab for the past couple of years learning to do everything again. My dad got jailed and my grandma came to look after me. Mum has extensive brain damage from where he beat her with a lead pipe, scars from where he burnt her-" He explained in a trance.
"Vince." Dom snapped in warning and it seemed to snap Vince out of his thoughts, as it registered who he was talking to.
"Shit sorry Letty." He said sincerely as I paled at what he had told me.
"That doesn't mean your dad would do any of that." Dom said quickly trying to soothe me.
"You haven't seen him drunk and mad." I whispered.
"He scares you doesn't he?" Vince asked.
"My dad's not a small guy, he towers over me. Add alcohol and yelling into the mix…" I trailed off knowing they'd get the point.
"How longs this been going on?"
"About two years ago after he lost his job, it started with just shouting and fighting between them. It's only gotten out of control in the last couple of months." I said.
"Tony will sort things out Letty." I smiled slightly and nodded.
"I know. So which car is next?" I asked wanting to get back onto safe topics.
"The Corolla." Dom said quietly guiding me over to the car as we started work again.
