Dom and Letty- Finding My Love

Time Goes By

Months had gone by. Dom still had no clue where she was. He searched and searched, he couldn't find her. Mia was getting worried. He would rarely come home and when he did, he was either drunk or had gotten in a fight. Mia along with Brian and Vince tried their very best to console him but nothing worked. He could never forget her.

"I don't get it, they didn't even tell me they were moving"
"Obviously they wouldn't, it Letty had told you we wouldn't be in this position right now"
The happiness that once belonged in the Toretto household was now replaced with sadness, anger and hatred.

"Dom maybe she's in Michigan"
"I already called, she dropped out"
"Dropped out? Why? It was her dream to go study there"
Dom just shrugged his shoulders and chugged down his 5th bottle of beer.
"How about Texas?"
"She never enrolled there either" he said slurring his words. The beer was taking affect sooner than usual.

"How much longer are you going to be doing this?" Vince asked slightly pissed off.
"She even changed her phone number" Dom said laughing.
"Dom! Come on! Enough! You can't keep wasting your life like this!"
"She was my everything! You expect me to just move on and forget about her!?" Dom said raising his voice and shoving Vince.

He walked away, up the stairs, nearly falling down on one. Mia was really getting worried now.

"I'll go talk to him" Vince said.

"No, I'll go" Mia announced.
She knew her brother didn't want to be disturbed but she didn't care. He needed her and she wasn't going to let him down. She knew he wouldn't be in his room and so she climbed up onto the roof and found him there, sitting as he looked at the night sky. She sat down next to him.

"Mia, get back inside. You could fall"

"I'm not going anywhere"

Dom just looked up at the sky and continued sipping his beer.
"She's gone Mia" he said slightly tearing up.
Mia could see the pain in his eyes. Her brother really really missed her. Letty had not let him explain and now he was suffering. She knew Dom would never forget her but she was going to help her brother slowly but surely move on. One step at a time.

Mia hugged her brother really tight. His tears soaking her blouse.

"Dom, if you really love her, you'll let her go"
"I can't!!"
"And if she's meant for you, she'll come back"
"If she doesn't"
"Then it was never meant to be. Look, I now you and Letty, the both of you are definitely meant for each other. Just give it some time"

Dom looked at his sister and was proud of her. She wasn't the same girl that used to annoy him. She was a grown, independent, smart, beautiful and wise woman.

They sat on the roof a little longer, staring at the stars and appreciating each others company. Dom was glad he had his sister there for him.

"And Dom..."
"Yeah?"
"I think you should take that teaching job"
"How did you know about that?"
"I saw the letter. It would be perfect for you. You like kids and you love cars. You should take the job, it'll keep your mind off of things for sometime"
"I guess you're right" he said as he watched his sister go into the house.

Letty was sitting on a bench in the park. The heavy downpour drenching her clothes and her hair. She was in Indiana. Her third and final choice. She never opened the envelope until a few months ago. She wanted to forget him and everything that happened between them. She wanted to be free but it wasn't helping her situation at all. No matter what she did, how much she studied, she couldn't get him out of her mind and her thoughts. He haunted her. Their memories haunted her. Everything about him kept on playing in her mind.

Her mother had understood her situation and actually came up with the plan to move. They had relatives in Indiana who helped them out.

She was walking back home . It was really late and her mother had taken it upon herself to wait up for her.
"OH GOD Leticia. Where have you been? Why are you soaking wet? What is wrong with you?" her mother rambled as Letty dried herself
"It was nothing Ma, I just lost track of time"

"I know exactly what you've been doing. Honey I know it's hard but you have to move on sweetheart"
"Ma, it's easier said than done"

Ana hugged her daughter in a tight embrace. She patted her back and soothed her daughter. It broke her entirely to see her baby go through so much pain especially these last few months.

"I know you might not be ready..."
"Ma, I don't want to. I already told you"
"Stop being so stubborn and hear me out. Why don't you go out with that boy I told you about whom I met in the hospital"
"I don't think I'm ready yet"
"Not now. Maybe a couple more weeks or months. At least give him a shot. He's a very nice boy"

Letty slightly smiled at her mom and hugged her again.

"I'll try Ma, I'll try" was all she said as the tears rushed down her face.

No matter who she went out with she knew in her mind and soul she was never going to forget Dominic Toretto
