Toretto is Back ! [F&F Spy Racer: Dubaï]

S07 E07: A Cold Sets In

Tony's POV: 

The ride was quiet until now. I really hope Layla doesn't blame me too much. But the more I think about my words, the more it hurts me. The only way to understand his current state of mind was to speak up.

Me: And so..... You really stayed all night?

Layla: ...

She does not answer. His face showed no emotion. If I didn't know her that well, I'd say that's okay, but a Layla Gray with a face like that is never a good sign. I decide to cut to the chase but even though I knew it would be a bad idea.

Me: Look Layla I know you're mad at me-

Layla: Stop.

She said dryly.

Layla: Don't tell me you know anything.

Me: But-

Layla: I told you I didn't want to know anything!

Me: Please I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said what I told you it was really stupid of me.

I immediately regret what I just said, his face turns to hate. Layla is not someone who accepts excuses so easily. Telling him this way means sinking even deeper.

Layla: No seriously?! You are sorry! You think it's your wacky little excuses that I'm going to swallow. And then no wonder you do something stupid, you're stupid !

Ouch that hurts.

Me: Look, what I'm trying to tell you is when I heard that you and DK are brother and sister, I was shocked. I thought you didn't trust me and suddenly I had a doubt of trust too, thinking that you were hiding something else from me.

Layla: *sighs*

Me: ...

Layla: The trust, right? Every time we argue, it's always because of your lack of trust in me. If I didn't tell you, it's because I wasn't ready. DK is part of my past, and my past is painful and you still don't understand it. On several occasions you doubt me and come to apologize. In Mexico when you thought I was going to let you down, in the South Pacific where you thought I was in cahoots with Shashi. Every time you deny me and you think that knowing it's related to my past I'm going to forgive you so easily??!! Do not dream Toretto !!

I remain speechless. She had just told me some of the weight she had on her heart and I'm ready to put my hand to the fire that it's not just that. I would like her to share these pains with me, but now that she has just made me understand that I am part of these pains, I can only keep quiet.

Me: I-I, I'm sorry Layla. 

I say at the end of tears. I shouldn't cry it would be too cowardly. But I needed it

Layla's POV: 

I literally felt liberated after what I had just said. I admit that I said it to him really badly but I was very angry with him.

I then gave him a quick look, he was even more depressed than before.

I just hope it doesn't hurt our friendship.

Seeing him like this again makes me sad. But two parts of me keep fighting to get over my feelings. One day I will understand why.

Me: We arrived.

We had arrived at the pharmacy. Tony didn't answer he seemed in his bubble, probably thinking about everything I had said to him all of a sudden.

Me: Stay here.
