Chicago's Furious

One Day

Alexa's POV

(10 years ago)

I walk in the dark LA streets, on the sidewalk, not knowing where i go. I left my house, as it didn't feel like home. I felt like i didn't belong there, that's why i left. 

I have my daffel bag on my shoulder and my mp3 in my hand, listening to music. Two lights appear behind me but i guess it's a car so i don't mind and keep walking. I see the car passing me but then it stops. I stop too and look at it, but then i continue walking. The window of the passenger opens, caughting my attention.

???: You good?

I hear a voice from the inside.

Alexa:Yes.

I say as i keep walking, but the car follows me.

???:Do you need a ride somewhere?

Alexa:No.

I say in a sharp tone.

???: You sure? It's the middle of the night and i don't think you wanna walk right now.

I stop and let out a deep breath. I look at the car and lower my head to look at the driver. I frown as i see a boy, around my age, behind the wheel. I open the door and sit on the passenger's seat as i'm intrigued of how a young boy can drive.

Alexa: You can drive? How old are you?

???: I'm twelve.

I widen my eyes.

Alexa: I'm eleven and i still find riding a bike difficult.

???:Really?

Alexa:No, i'm just overreacting, but still, how?!

He smiles and shakes his head.

???: My father tought me. He works at a garage and i go there and help him.

Alexa: Really? You're lucky, i never met my dad and my mom acts like i don't even exist.

???: Is that's why you left your home?

Alexa: How do you know i left?

???: Cmon, it's obvious. Walking in the middle of the night, carrying a duffel bag. But you didn't tell me, where am i taking you?

Alexa: Um... actually, i have no where to go. My only relative is my mom and i can't go back home, cause you know, she's the reason i left.

???: Well, you can come at my house. My sister will be so excited meeting you and my dad won't have a problem with that.

Alexa: Are you sure?

???: Yeah sure.

Alexa: Huh, thanks. 

I look in front of me at the road and then at him.

The car stops outside a house and we get out. Once he stands next to me, i notice his features. He is tall, with brown eyes and he seems strong.

Alexa: I don't think we met properly. I'm Alexa.

I say, as i extend my hand.

???: Dom.

He says shaking my hand. We walk inside and he opens the door to let me in. Once i get in, my eyes fall in the living room, on a little girl sitting on the floor painting. Voices come from a room deeper in the house. The girl raises her head and she smiles as she sees me. She quickly gets up and rush next to me.

??: Hi! I'm Mia. Nice to meet you.

She says in excitment.

Alexa: Alexa, likewise.

 Dom heads in the next room, where i guess is the kitchen and after a while, a man appears, probably the father.

???: Hi, i'm Jack Toretto, and this is Jacob, and i guess you've already met Dom.

I look at Dom and another boy next to him.

Jack: He told me that you need somewhere to sleep for the night right?

I nod in agreement.

Jack: We have a guest room, you can sleep there.Dom, show her the way.

Dom:Cmon.

I follow Dom to the upper floor and into a room. He turns on a light and my eyes fall on a bed at the edge of the room. 

Dom: You can stay here for as long as you want.

I smile at him and after i thank him, i fall under the sheets. Then, the door opens and i see Mia, standing on the doorway.

Alexa: Hey.

I say with a smile.

Mia: Hi. I thought maybe i can spend some time here. Can i?

Alexa: Sure, cmon. 

She sits on the bed across from me and smiles. I look at her and smile too.

Alexa: You know what? As i see me and you, i think one day we'll become great friends.

 We both smile and she hugs me, pushing me back on the bed laughing.
