Letty lay in the hospital bed looking at the ceiling, she wanted to go home but she knew it wasn't going to happen. Owen Shaw walked in and looked about before sitting in the chair next to her,

"nice room, very cosy!" he said, Letty didn't move she just ignored him, "don't do this, don't ignore me," he said

"whatcha doin here Shaw?" she asked turning to him,

"you ready to come home?" he asked,

"do I have a choice?"  she asked,

"of course, come with me or your dead, simple really," he said, Letty stood up before grabbing her bag and walking out with Owen behind her. The drive to the garage was silent, Letty sat staring at the road ahead, they soon pulled up and Letty got straight out the car and wondered off into the back room and started on her car. She hated this life she was living.

She wanted to be back with Dom and the family, but she was stuck in this life. After Dom left her in the Dominican Republic, Letty began working for Braga. When that was done with she ran off after watching Fenix kill all the others involved, Fenix flipped her car and now she cant go back. Dom and the team were told Letty had been murdered, she suffered from the crash but she gradually got better. She always wished to go back home but Shaw wasn't going to let that happen. The decision was Letty could work for Shaw and completely leave Dom in the past or she gets killed properly this time and Letty wanted to be alive for when Dom came to save her.

"everyone round up!" Shaw said and they all gathered around the table and they watched as Letty slowly walked towards them,

"right, now that were all here, Hobbs is on us and he has a little round up!" Shaw said,

"tonight we stick to the plan... brake them!" he said, they all parted ways and Letty knew Hobbs had the team up for him,

"Letty," Shaw said behind her,

"what!" she said with attitude,

"don't make me hurt you again Letty, twice in hospital isn't enough for you." He said pulling her wrist so she was facing him, "you do this and were done you can leave for good!" he said, Letty knew that Dom and the team would end up dead going against Shaw but maybe just maybe he might have met his match. Could she fight this, against Dom he was the love of her life and now she had to pretend he never existed and she had to forget quick.

Night fell and the job began, Letty waited for her call and soon the time came Shaw needed help, Letty sat for a couple of seconds could she do this?

She drove her car and smashed into the side of the car holding down on Shaw and she began to drive away, she watched as the car followed her. She drove for a few miles out of the way of the rest of Shaw's gang because she knew this was Dom behind her. Dom smashed into the side of her car and send her spinning around the corner, she climbed out the car with a gun in her hand

"I don't remember anything!" she whispered to herself firmly, she took a deep breath before Dom stepped out of the car opposite her,

She stood staring at him, she missed the way he looked at her every morning when they woke up and the way they could always have fun with each other no matter what they were doing,

"Letty!" he said and she stood with her gun up at him staring at him, she couldn't do this. She still held her gun up at him, she didn't make eye contact,

"I can't do this," she whispered to herself,  she got back in her car and drove off and watched as Dom followed her, he wasn't letting her go this time. Letty pulled up to a street race and she paid to race, making sure that Dom would be her opponent, and she pulled up to the starting line. She looked in her back mirror as Dom pulled up next to her,

"one last race huh?" she said looking at him,

"what are you doin Let?" he asked,

"beating you one more time before I feel the need to get close to you again and get killed," Dom just looked confused,

"what are you on about?" he asked,

"are we gonna race or what?" she said trying to get off the subject, they watched as the girl in hardly any clothes walked in the middle of their cars,

"you ready Toretto?" Letty said keeping her eyes on the quarter mile road ahead,

"3...2...1......GO!" The girl screamed and they were off, Letty knew if she won this Dom would have let her. She sped off ahead of him but then he quickly over took her but she noticed he soon began to slow down and she flew past him and over the line. She signalled for him to follow her and they went down an ally way and ended up behind an abandoned warehouse. They got out their cars and Letty saw something from the corner of her eye, it was Shaw making sure she kept her mouth shut.

"great win, your better then I remember. Have you been practicing?" Dom said walking to her car,

"I know you let me win, any racer any real racer would have known that," she said and Dom chuckled, 

"you picked up on it then?" they both laughed, "you still got a very heavy foot haven't you, never give up even if they have passed the line," Letty began to make her 'amnesia' kick in,

"I haven't got a clue what you mean, just because you know how I ride doesn't mean you know me!" she said standing straight against her car,

"you know what they say where were from?" she knew what he was going to say, "show me how you ride, I'll show you who you are. And you remember Letty its not how you stand by your car, I..." she cut him off not thinking,

"its how you race your car, I know you told me before every one of my ra..." Letty's expression changed immediately and Dom was in shock,

"yeah that's right, before every one of our races!" he said walking towards her, Letty knew this would mean Dom had figured out she was only lying to herself, "whats up with you, Let?" he asked as his body was almost touching hers, she moved to the side of him and made sure Shaw wasn't thinking anything of it but she soon noticed he wasn't there.

"I... I gotta go!" Letty said walking to the car door and opening it,

"wait!" he said pulling the cross necklace out of his pocket and handing it to her, "this is yours, you should have it," he said, as her hand touched his her body froze inside for less then a second and she turned and got in her car and drove away.  Dom watched as she drove off into the distance and he wasn't going to let her slip through his fingers again, he wasn't letting her go.
