Moving At The Speed Of Life

Chapter 15 - "I'll make you proud."

- - -

We drove all the way back to L.A., in silence. It was like we had no words or tears left.

I couldn't believe that I was on my way home, without Dom. That I was going home to an empty house, and an empty garage. Mia must have felt the same way. That we were left with nothing.

It was late in the evening when we returned home. My heart sank as I got out of the car and watched the house. You could feel the silence from the outside even.

"Are you okay?" Mia asked concerned, as we stepped inside.

"I will be." I answered with tears in my eyes, smiling weakly at her as I placed the car keys on the table.

"I'm going to bed." I said smiling reassuringly at her, before I walked up the stairs and into the bedroom I had shared with Dom.

A shaky breath left my lips, as I looked around the room. The house felt so empty, without the boys.

Jesse's was dead.

Dom, Vince, Leon, and Letty had fled.

I sat down on the bed and trailed my fingers over the few shirts I had kept from Dom.

I couldn't help but smile to myself as I picked one of them up. It still had his scent. I remembered him wearing it one day, at the garage.

Dom and I had been together for quite some time and was spending another day at the garage with the rest of the boys.
I was playing around with Vince and Leon, just outside the garage, having another one of our water fights.

"Dom!" I squealed, as I ran into the garage, to get away from the boys and the waterhose.

Dom laughed, as I hid behind his back. He slowly turned around and pushed a sticky strand of wet hair out of my face, before he kissed me lovingly.
I was all wet and sticky from the car shampoo, but it didn't matter to him.

The guys protested as they saw that I had run off to Dom, in the middle of our fight, making Dom and I laugh, from their comments.

"Come on. You're going to catch a cold." Dom said before leading me towards, what we called the office.
He always had some extra clothes, at the shop. Mostly because Vince, Leon and I would get out of control, with our water fights and drag everyone else into it.

"Take of your shirt." I said, as I jumped onto the desk with a huge smirk playing on my lips.

"Why?" Dom asked confused, looking over his shoulder.

"I want it. It has your scent." I said smirking, making Dom chuckle before he pulled the t-shirt over his head, revealing his very toned and muscular chest. I couldn't help but let my eyes wander.
