DOMS POV

"Dom." Mia said through the phone.

"Mia I told you not to call me here" I scolded her but I qould be lying if I said I didn't miss her. Her, Tiny,  and mostly letty.

"Dom it's letty" She said I heard her sniffle "she's been murdered. God poor Athena.

"I'll be there soon"

"Dom you can't cops are everywhere."

"I'll see you soon" then I hung up and called Tiny qith tears  My eyes.

ATHENAS PO

ITS BEEN 5 YEARS since I've been home. I never stayed anther over 4 months but th past year I've stayed I Miami. Racing, and I work at a bar with my boss, Kelly and gay coworker, Alex.

A year after I ran I became cancer free.

About a year ago I meet a guy named Owen. We've been dating for about 8 months he knows everything about me.

Owen goes on buisness trips that last up to a few weeks but he's mostly here in Miama with me.

I told him about my family and what Brian did to us. Surprisingly he didn't mind it.

I'm finally 20.  I still work in the bar with Kelly, and Alex. Just us. But we don't mind. I still race 1 or 2 times a week.

Right now I'm at the bar working there's about 40 people in here. It's almost 4. Owen's in blue jeans and a Gary shirt. And I'm in

I'm making a sex on the beach for a costumer when my phone rings. I hand him my drink and walk over to Owen and grab my phone. I answered.

THE CALL
Dom- D Athena-A
A- Hello?
D- Athena it's me 
A- Dom I called you last week man. You know the routine.

Kelly and Alex were by me now and Owen was in front of me.

D- Athena.   

I heard him muffle a cry 

A- Dom what the hells going on?
D-Athena Letty was murdered.
A- W-what did you just s-say?
D- Letty was murdered I just found out
A- No No 
D- I'll meet you there.

He hung up and I slid down the wall. Tears blurring my vision. I heard my own run behind the bar as he cradled me in his arms. 

"What's going on luv?" He asked as he kissed me head.

"My sister was murdered" I said between cries. 

WHAT I WAS WEARING^^^^^^^^^

I left early the next morning after I said goodbye to everyone.  I saw Dom on a hill so I walked her behind him. 

“Never thought this would be the reason I saw you again.” He said 

“Me either” and we watched the ceremony.

“We have gathered her to pay our final respects to, Leticia Ortiz. ”

I looked at all the cops then my eyes landed on Mia  who glanced in our direction. She looks back at the preacher knowing the cops might notice.

Dom nudges me and we leave to get in my baby and Dom gets in his car and we drive.

We park the cars in an old abandoned garage not far from the house. 

That night we went to the house and hid in the garage. We see Mia with boxes. Then we walked out.

“Dom, Tiny” She gasps as she faces us. She walked over and hugged us.

“There stalin the place out if they find you two-” but  cut her off

“They won't.”

“Look at you” Dom says as he sees his grown sister.

“Beautiful as ever.” Mia and Dom talk as I look inside Dom's old car.

“I wanna see the crash site” I say as I get out.

Mia pulls up to the place’

“It's Over there” She points out. Me and Dom walk over and I visualize the crash as I kneel down. All that's left is yellow.

I looked at DOm and he looked at me.

We both knew.

We walked back to the car and that stopped two blocks from the house.

“You found something back there” Mia states toward us.

“There were burns on the ground. Those kind of marks only come from Nitromethane.'' I will explain. And Dom says

“There's only one guy in all of L.A. that sells that.” 

“Neither of you can do anything to bring her back. Tiny, Dom. I ask you both… No, I beg you, please, Let this go. Before it's too late.” She tries to persuade us.

“It's already too late.” I stated

“I love you both” she says and kisses Dom's cheek and my forehead. I get in the front seat  as Dom gets in the driver seat.

“I don't plan on bringing anyone back” I tell Dom

“I'm going with you and there's nothing you can do or say to stop me. You my daughter and your not doing  this alone.” He tells me.
