~Oh, I trusted you....I trusted you.

So sad, so sad......What love will make you do.~

Damn I'm tired. I just wanna take a shower and go to sleep. I know Dom has other plans but I couldn't give a shit. Imp so fucking tired, Letty lets her mind wander. She walks into the front door of the Torreto house. All lights are off, as usual. She stays over at Dom and Mia's often. Since she moved to the neighborhood at 8, Mia and she were inseparable. Mia was the epitome of what a 6 year old little girl should be, and Letty was the exact opposite. Barbies and Easy-Bake ovens for Mia, Hot Wheels and baseball cards for Letty. She looks over at the pictures on the wall. She could hear Mia's high pitched voice asking countless times,"Who are the Yankees?". A tired half-smile creeps across her face. She walks through the front hallway into the living room and sets her keys on the end table. Maybe he's sleep. Yeah, right ............ I'm sure he didn't hear me pulling up with my damn system on 18. What the hell was I thinking?

She takes off her jacket and lays it across the back of the couch. After taking off her boots she starts to head up the stairs. They're aren't any lights on. She's surprised. Wow. Maybe he actually is sleep. She continues past Mia's room to Dom's, but she hears faint sounds coming from the room at the end of the hall. Nobody went into that room. No matter how out of control the parties at that house got or how many people they had sleeping over for the night, it was common knowledge that no one........no one went into that room at the end of the hall. It was Mr. and Mrs. Toretto's old bedroom. Dom wouldn't even let Mia go in there. She tried one time and Dom damn near killed her. He didn't actually physically hurt her. He would never lay a hand on her, but he did yell, scream, and throw some things. That was the first time Mia ever slept over at Letty's. They don't talk about that night. Sometimes when Letty and Dom would fight, she could see the light on in the room and know he was in there calming down. We didn't fuss today........why would he be in there?  She walks into Dom's room. It's dark and empty. The bed is made. He never makes his bed. She turns back and slowly walks towards the room at the end of the hall. As she gets closer the sounds she hears become more and more audible. At that moment her worst fear is recognized.  Oh my God.........not again. Please God, don't let it be him.

She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and tries to ready herself for what she already knows is going on. She slowly pushes the door open and steps in.  Her fear is realized.  It's him and some blonde "Race Queen" riding him.

Letty strangles out a weak, "Dom?"

At first they don't even notice her. After the initial shock, her anger mixed with pure pain kick in and she goes from hurt to irate in a matter of seconds.

"Dom?............Dom!?"  Dom looks over to see the love of his life standing beside his parent's bed clinching her fist and grinding her teeth.

"Letty?", he asks as if he doesn't believe it's her, his voice low and almost a whisper.

Letty proceeds to let her anger and utter disgust show by grabbing the blonde's hair, dragging her off Dom and out of the room. She slams the door on the girl and looks at her boyfriend who is slowly trying to explain and dress himself, still in disbelief of the situation.

"Letty........baby I know what this looks like, but.........."

She calmly interrupts him, "Shut up."

"But, Letty let me explain.........I........"

Now enraged, she interrupts again, "Shut the fuck up!!" He sits at the edge of the bed in front of Letty, with everything now sinking in. 

"I get the first word this time Dom. So you just sit and listen."   At this moment the blonde walks back in the room.

Dom and Letty yell in unison, "Get Out!"

"But I need my clothes!"  Letty picks up the clothes on the chair and throws them at the naked girl.

"Don't ever come back here again you fucking whore." The girl rolls her eyes at Letty's remark, and is surprised that the Latin girl, who was obviously Dom's girlfriend, wasn't yelling at her but speaking very calmly and in a low, deliberate tone. Letty was beyond hurt this time....................... because he couldn't deny it. She had caught him in the act. If she had not seen them, he could have just lied to her, like he did a countless number of times before, and she would just believe him, not because she was naive, but because she knew the truth and didn't want to face it.

She closed the door again, stood in front of Dom, who is now half dressed in his boxer-briefs, and began to speak.

"Why Dom? What the fuck is so wrong with me that.....that you had to...........I mean every time I've even thought you were cheating on me........all I've ever wanted to know is why", she tells him, still speaking calmly, not moving, not taking her eyes off of his. They both know that this has been coming for a long time. Everything she's been holding in. All the thing she's wanted to say but her pride wouldn't let her. Now was the time to set things straight.

"I always tried to think that maybe you were just angry with me and wanted to get me back for pissing you off, or that......your just being a man and you cant keep you dick in your pants......but now.............I realize that I'm just not enough for you."

Letty you are  enough, Dom thinks to himself as he sits and listens to her, the woman he's loved for the past five years, pour out feelings he never knew were there.

"It's always been about you Dom.............what you want.........I had to wait for you to love me back..........even then I wasn't enough for you...............you never wanted me did you?"

"Letty don't say that", he finally responds, not able to hold back any longer. "I love you more than.........God.......I know....I know I'm a pig...........I'm an asshole.......but don't say that I never wanted you......don't say that I never loved you........just because........."

"Just because what Dom?..........Go ahead.....Say it........I wanna see you try and deny this."

"I wasn't gonna deny it, Letty...........I know I fucked up. Believe me, I know. I'm sorry Letty......."

"Oh....you're sorry?.............really?..........well that makes everything better", she remarks with sarcasm while rolling her eyes and sitting down in a chair near the end of the bed.

"Letty...", he says in that low scratchy voice she's so accustomed to.

"No Dom......what the fuck am I supposed to say?.........'Oh it's okay that you fucked another girl as long as you say you love me and your sorry about it'?". Dom puts his head in his hands and lies back onto the bed.

Letty looking around the room then back at him, "And why here?"

Dom sort of caught off guard by the question and still trying to process everything answers surprised, "What?"

"Why here......in your parent's room......what's wrong with your bed?"

"There's nothing wrong with my bed........I just.........I didn't.........", not wanting to tell her the real reason he dances around the question. "I don't know..........I......why does it matter?"

She stands from the chair. She can see he's being shady for a reason, so she persists.

"It matters because I want to know.........why not in your bed?.........do you always fuck other girls in here not in your room?"

"Letty........I don't wanna....."

She continues to persist. "You scared to fuck someone in your room Dom?..........Is it some sort of sick twisted shit to fuck girls on you mom and dad's bed?"

Dom sits up then stands walking away from Letty who is getting closer to him. She can tell he's bothered by what she's saying.

"Do you get off on that Dom?........you get off on fucking in the same bed......"

"Letty stop it", he tells her in a tone that she knows means 'stop, don't go there, just stop', and even though she knows she shouldn't she continues to persist.

"No Dom.....I wanna know what kind of sick twisted psychotic shit your pulling here fucking in your dead...........", and before she can even think about finishing that sentence she can feel Dom's gigantic hand wrapped around her chin. His face directly in front of hers.

He tells her once again in a final, low, serious voice,"Stop".

He lets go of her face, stares into her eyes, then turns away. Knowing that she crossed a line, she remains silent, but he, much to her surprise, speaks in that same low voice, still turned away from her but with his head turned to one side, his eyes focused on the floor.

"My bed.........is our bed........I would never have sex with another woman..........with anyone other than you, in that bed...........I tried.....but I couldn't stand the thought of being with someone else in the same bed I make love to you in.................that's why....okay?.........so just stop............alright?"

Stunned at his sincerity, and in awe of his loyalty and lack there of she remains silent, but moves closer to him until she is right behind him. She reluctantly reaches out wanting to touch him but still hurt by his actions. So many conflicting emotions run through her. She wants so badly to just forget everything, hug him and have him embrace her in again. At the same time she wants to just beat him and hurt him for the shit he's put her through. She touches him. She's reminded of how beautiful the color of his skin is. Walnut, as Jess described it one time.

In the second she touches him, all sorts of memories flood her head.

The first time she laid eyes on Dominic Torretto. She was playing with Mia in her room, and he busted through the door.

"Mia.........dinner's..................who's that?", he looks at the tomboyish 8 year old holding a slingshot.

"This is my friend Leticia....", Letty shoots her a look, "Letty.......my friend Letty."

"I' ve never seen her before."

"She just moved in today."

He looks her again," Well.........mom told me to tell you....and....Lea.....that dinner's ready."

"Her name is Letty!", Mia yelled as he closed the door. From that moment on she was hooked.

Following him and his friends around, trying to be thought of as one of the boys, secretly dying for Dom's affection. With every hit, every insult, she became more and more infatuated. She liked cars before, but when she found that Dom was into them, she was overjoyed. Everyday, she followed him and Vince to his garage, begging them to let her help, and everyday they turned her down. That didn't stop her from going anyway. She pined over him, and he pushed her away every chance he got.

"You're too young.......I'm 16......you're only 12.....", he would tell her.

Even then he hurt her without knowing it, but eventually he came around. It was after he came home from jail. His dad had already passed before he went in. His mom was still alive then. Letty wrote him while he was in, and when he came home he told her that he really appreciated that. That was the first time he said a kind word to her, the first time he spoke to her like she was a person and not a pest. She was in love with him from that moment on. It wasn't a crush anymore. He was kinder to her after jail, he actually liked her. A year after that, when he was 21 and Letty was 17, his mom died. Mrs. Torretto's death brought them closer than she ever imagined. After the funeral, he saw Letty outside behind the house, crying. He just put his arm around her. Without speaking they just stood. They started spending more time together. Whether it be cars, or just watching TV., they were always together. Dom didn't want to admit it to himself, but he noticed how attractive she was. She had come a long way from the flat-cheated, tomboy, brat he used to know her as. She was different now. He noticed her mind, how talented she was, and how fun she is to be around. He also noticed how filled-out her body was. When no one was looking he would sneak a peak at her curvy form. The tables were turned. It was now he who was infatuated. He was intrigued and down right turned on by her in depth knowledge of all things cars. A woman who knew almost as much as he did about engines and exhaust systems totally blew his mind.

She thought about the first time they kissed, when she she was 17. In the garage, underneath a 76 Chevy. The smell of oil and gasoline heavy in the air. She put down her wrench and grazed his arm, they looked at each other, and after 9 years of waiting it happened. That was it. That was the beginning of the best, and worst thing that has ever happened to her.

Her mind continues to wander to their first time. They waited an entire 2 years. Dom says it was to make sure she was ready, but she knows it was to make sure he was ready too. He was so gentle with her. He was so rough with everyhting else, but he was always gentle with her. He went slow, not wanting to hurt her more than he already was. She remembers how she bit her lip so she couldn't make a sound. She didn't want him to think he was hurting her. She remembers how smooth his back was..............how his naked skin looked in the scarce light coming in from the window.........and how the stubble of his head lightly scratched her cheek and neck. She's snapped back into reality when the mental picture of the blonde on top of Dom runs through her head.

He turns to face her in response to her touch.

"Sit down", she says softly. He resumes his seat on the bed, with his eyes fixated on the picture clad wall in front of him.

She begins to speak, calmly and mellowed,"You were the first person I ever loved. You have my heart, you have my body and my mind.............The first time you cheated on me, I was young......I forgave you because I was afraid to be without you. I dint know who I was without you. I was 'Dom's girl', not Letty. I've loved you since the moment I saw you......", tears begin to well up in her eyes.  Now looking up at her, Dom can tell she's holding back......still trying to be that tough girl. She has that look in her eyes that only he can recognize. He knows this is it. He's cut her this time. What the fuck have I done?.........I'm gonna lose her over some blonde bimbo whose name I don't even know, he thinks to himself.

"I know you love me..........", she trails off fighting back tears and emotions she's not use to, her voice shaking.

She begins again, trying to compose herself, "I know you love me........but........I can't.......do this anymore...........I'm tired of trying so hard to be...........and not being able to ........please you...........and.........."

"Letty don't......", he pleads, knowing what she's about to do.

"Dom......", she finally breaks and lets her pent up tears roll down her hardened face.

"Dom.......I can't do this anymore.....It's too much......It's over."  With those final 2 words, his heart breaks into a thousand pieces. He feared it, but never thought it would actually happen. Out of no where, tears fall from his eyes.

"Letty.....please....", he says, voice cracking, and his face wet from tears, but not really showing his true emotions. His hands shaking, he reaches out to touch her hand. "Letty.....you can't do this...........".

With all her strength, she pulls away from his touch for the first time in her life. Trying to still be strong at the sight of Dom crying, she steps back from him. Why did you make me do this?................I love you so much..........I cant do this if you cry too.............I cant walk away from you like this..............I'm so sorry Dom.............I'm so sorry.

When she pulls away the hard truth starts to set in with Dom. She' really leaving me.........She doesn't love me anymore.........God, what have I done?

Wiping her face she walks towards the door, "Goodbye Dom".

He stands, face still tear-stained, and pleads one last time, "Letty.....I can't be without you".

She stops, turns towards him, kisses him, and calmly tells him, "Goodbye Dominic".

With those words she walks out the room leaving Dom alone. He sits back down on the bed. She continues down the hall, down the stairs, into the living room for her things, and as she turns to leave a picture of her and Dom on the mantle catches her eye. She stares at it for a second and almost wants go back up to him, but her pain kicks back in and she heads for the door. Dom gets up, walks to his room, and sits at the edge of his bed beating himself mentally for his infidelity, hoping that maybe it was just some horrible nightmare that he'll wake up from soon.

~See when I get the strength to leave

You always tell me that you need me.......

And I'm mad because I love you.....

So I start to think that maybe

You could learn to appreciate me.....

But then it all remains the same, that

You ain't never gonna change~
