A month later, Harley was pacing around the bedroom her and Dom shared. They were back in LA in their old house which was pretty amazing and down to Hobbs; the blonde would love to be happy and relaxed but she could feel some sort of pit in her stomach constantly, an ache in her heart. She hadn't been over the moon as would be expected by some people. No. There was an anger, sadness, guilt. Negative emotions were getting the best of her sometimes and she hated it.
"Harls..." A voice startles the Toretto and she halts in her steps, a shirt in her hand. Slight relief floods her when she sees it's Mia and not Dom. Let's just say, they hadn't seen eye to eye recently.
"Dom went out with Brian and Jack." Mia informs the woman, slowly entering the room and taking a seat on the bed...beside a near enough packed bag."What's up?" Harley asks, trying to sound like the perky self she'd been just over a month ago.
"Are you sure you don't want any of us to go?" The dark haired woman asks kindly, frowning when her sister scoffs in response.
"I hardly think it'd be appropriate, Mia." The blonde retorts, shoving the shirt into her bag
"When I spoke to his mom..." She trails off with a sigh, sitting on the edge of the bed. Of course she was talking about everything that had happened with Owen and how she'd had to be the one to break the news.They'd all been at the military base after the fiasco with the plane when Hobbs appeared with important news. He'd told Harley that they'd found her brother on the air strip but he wasn't in the best condition. Meaning the blonde had been relieved for all of a second. Even more so when she was told she couldn't visit him until everything was processed and he was put in a hospital with security. Hobbs really tried to get her access to her brother straight away but it's not like anyone owed her any favours. Plus she was technically a Shaw and previous wanted woman - it didn't bode well.
The whole incident stirred up a lot of trouble. They'd lost Gisele and Han was absolutely heartbroken, Harley didn't know how to comfort him. It was her brother's crew that caused the death and she could tell he unintentional was being off with her. The first person she called had been Owen and Deckard's mom; the older woman was furious that her son had been injured in a job Harley had been involved in. When the blonde offered to call Deckard, she'd been completely shut down which hurt even more. By the end of the conversation, the Toretto woman had been in tears. Although since the incident, they've had several more conversations and Magdalene had acknowledged Harley did all she could; even if there was tension, she wasn't blamed.
Then there was her and Dom.
Harley would be lying if she said there wasn't a slight fraction of resentment towards her husband. She'd get past it eventually, she was sure of that, but right now it was hurting them both. The tension had reached a peak and made them both burst around a week ago. Hobbs came to the house as he was passing through to tell Harley she'd be able to visit her brother in a hospital in London in a week - meaning she'd had to wait a month in total. Dom immediately offered to go with his wife and she shut him down instantly, giving him the same answer she'd given Mia. Harley tried to tell him no in the nicest way but he wouldn't stop insisting. Dom was trying his best to be there for his wife after what had happened but he also felt extremely guilty so wanted to make it up to her. However, it wasn't making the blonde feel better at all, it was frustrating her.
So she snapped.
Dom had been shocked at the outburst, as had Mia who had been just in the kitchen with Jack. Harley had tried to remove herself from the situation before her hot headedness made her say something she'd likely regret but of course her husband followed. The couple had ended up in their bedroom. Harley could remember the ordeal clearly:
