Alexandra POV

When I woke up the next morning everything seemed wonderful. I got up to go see If my parents were up instead I see my mom packing on the verge of tears and my dad nowhere to be seen.

"What is going on?" I question.

"Your Dad left" she responded still packing.

"When will he be back?" I ask.

"He won't," she said holding up a pile of cash with his cross necklace wrapped around it.

We have been staying with aunt Mia for about three weeks. School had gotten out before we got back so I didn't have much to do. I didn't see mom much either, she spent most her time restoring the charger dad had somehow crashed. For the past week or so she had been gone during the night too. I didn't know where she had gone.

I was getting ready for bed when mom came into my room.

"I love you," she said.

"I love you too" I replied. She smiled and walked out of the room.

I laid down in bed and fell asleep not knowing that in the next 8 hours my life would change so much it made dad leaving, and Brian ripping our family apart seeming like nothing.

The next morning when I woke up I heard voices downstairs. I figured aunt Mia had breakfast ready so I got dressed and walked downstairs. I didn't see breakfast though instead, I saw two police officers standing in the living room while aunt Mia cried on the couch.

"What is going on?" I spoke up aunt Mia shot up off the couch and attempted to make it look like she wasn't crying. "Aunt Mia, what's going on?" I asked again.

She hugged "Baby" she tried to console "Your mom has been murdered," she said and started to cry again. I couldn't cry though I felt numb. We just held each other and the officers showed themselves out.

The funeral was today aunt Mia called Dad the day mom passed away and we hadn't heard from him. I decided that if I didn't see him by tonight I was going to leave. It hurt too much to be in the house where I had so many fond memories of the people who loved me and they were gone now. I knew aunt Mia still loved me but I also looked like a replica of my mom and every time she looked at me I could see the pain in her eyes.

Just like I thought I didn't see him at the funeral. I did see Brian O'Conner though. I hated him more than anything. The way he played aunt Mia and pretended to be our friend disgusted me. I was sitting in my room I had everything I needed in a backpack and a duffel bag and the note I left was already in its place on my nightstand. I then heard the door open and close aunt Mia had been taking some of my mom's things out into the shed. I opened my bedroom window and threw the duffel bag full of clothes out the window. I then stuck one of my legs out the window and got one last look at my childhood bedroom, before I pushed out and landed in the grass. I picked up the duffel bag and took off down the street towards the nearest bus stop.

Mia POV

Dom had asked me to take him to the spot where Letty died. I know he wanted to see Alex but we both thought that bringing her here would cause a lot more unneeded heartbreak. We had just gotten back and I snuck Dom into the house we slowly made our way up the stairs. I knocked on the door but no one answered.

"Alex, baby, I know your hurting and you want to be alone but I am coming in," I said as I slowly made my way into the room she wasn't there though. It was weird everything was so clean. Her bed was made and the room wasn't cluttered with her personal belongings. I then realized the window was wide open.

"Oh my God," I said as I ran to the window.

"Mia," Dom said. I turned around and in his hands was a small piece of paper with Alexandra's delicate handwriting saying Aunt Mia on the front. I flipped it open and read it.

Dear Aunt Mia,

I hope you won't think less of me for this and that one day you might forgive me for my actions. I want you to know nothing you could have done would have prevented this. It just hurts to be in the same house. To see where I had my fifth birthday, and where I had my picture taken for my first day of third grade and all the other wonderful memories from my childhood. It reminds me all the time of what we had and what we lost. I also hope you continue to be the strong woman I have looked up to my whole life and that you won't let my decision hold you back. If dad ever decides to come around again please tell him it isn't his fault and that I don't hold it against him.

I love you, Alexandra

Dom and I reread the letter over and over again trying to find some explanation as to why she would run away instead of talking to us about it. Dom left later that night and two police officers came to the front door and took me to the police station.

While I was there I kept saying they had to find her. No one was listening they were looking at me like I was crazy. A female officer approached me.

"Ma'am are you alright?" she asked.

"Ugh finally someone listens. No, my niece, ran away from home and I have no idea where she went" I told the women. The woman motioned me over to a desk and had me take a seat while she filled out a report. She asked me basic questions like her name, birthday, and general appearance but she started asking questions that made me understand a little as to why she might have left.

"When was the last time you saw her?" the women questioned. I didn't know the time but it was easily after 2 a.m.

"Umm about 6 hours ago" I responded. I felt terrible for 6 hours I didn't notice she was missing.

"Is there anyone she would try to contact or go to?" she asked

"No, it was just me and her father" I answered

"And the Father isn't in the picture?" she asked.

"Yes," I responded sadly.

Alexandra POV (Three Hours Earlier)

I sat on the bus we were a few minutes away from the airport. I was sitting there thinking to myself. Where would I go? With the money from the heist in the Dominican Republic I could go anywhere I wanted. Would aunt Mia even miss me? How long would it take for her to realize I had been gone? The last time I saw her was an hour before I left the house. It had been two and a half-hour since I last saw her. By now she probably was about to find out I was gone if she did not already know. Based on that I also answered my first question. I would go to the first place board inside the airport.

As I decided that, the bus pulled up to the airport. I grabbed my bags and walked off the bus and into the airport I swerved out of the way of other people. I looked at the board on the wall above. It couldn't have been more perfect, I had never been there before and had been wanting to go, the ticket was kind of affordable, and it was about to start boarding. I went up to the counter.

The women at the counter looked very tired. I understood it was almost midnight. "Where to?" she asked.

I gathered all my courage and stated "One economy ticket to ---".

A/N

So that is the end of this chapter. I figured I would go ahead and say the Fast Four is my least favorite movie of the franchise so that is why it is kind of off from the movie. Don't worry though once we get to fast five and on it will go back to the storyline more. Please feel free to comment or message me and tell me what you think of the story so far. I would also love it if you guys would maybe comment and guess what country Alexandra is heading to.
