My new Life (Fast and Furious)

Chapter 11: Truth been told

            They turned off the light and closed the door. Quietly I got out of bed and put my ear against the door I could tell Mia and Brian went to take a shower because I could hear the shower running, I actually think they were together….Yuck, I think Vince was watching TV downstairs and I think and Dom and Letty were still doing whatever they were doing in Dom room. Since I couldn’t finish my movie because Mia turned it off, and if I turned it on, they would definitely notice it. I decided to read the last book of the Hunger games, I got out my flashlight and began reading. Half way through the book, when I got to the part where Primrose dies I began tear up. When suddenly my door flew open, startling me, Mia comes in and stood affront of me with her hand on her hips.

"I knew you weren't sleeping" she said

I looked down sheepishly

“Cal…”

Mia sighed and sat on my bed. She gently stroked my hair and kissed my forehead.

“If I were you, I would try to get some sleep… tomorrow you’re going to have a big day I think.”

I nodded and closed my eyes. Mia was so peaceful at times, that she made me calm down. I heard the door creak and by the voice I could tell it was Brian.

“You would make a good mother” he told Mia

“You really think so?” she asked

“Yeah, look you got a teen girl to fall asleep. I can see how much you care for her. You definitely will make a good mother”

            Mia gave me a last kiss and left whispering to Brian. I fell into a deep slumber and I can tell you one thing it wasn’t nice. I dreamed that I was alone in the house and soon I heard windows breaking. I ran to Dominic’s room and hid under the bed. Soon I saw three pair of footsteps entering the room. They walked everywhere gently saying

“Come out, come out wherever you are”

Suddenly I felt someone grab my legs and pull out from under the bed.

I woke up screaming for help, I heard people running into my room Letty reached me first. She looked at me and I told her

“They are coming for me, I know they are, they are going to get me Letty, they are going to get me and kill me. They will get me, I can’t… I can’t” I was gasping for breath. Brian told someone to get me an icepack I was hyperventilating.

“Who’s they” Mia asked looking at my brother and Letty and Brian

Letty told them “I didn’t know she was this afraid… Dom you go on and tell them… I’ll stay here with Cal”

They all left, except for Vince who gave Letty the icepack and then left.

“They are going to get me, they will hurt you guys.”I whispered as I got the icepack and threw it against the wall.

“No shit, you did not just throw that icepack” Letty said.

She got up and got the icepack and put it on the table. She sat down the bed, and looked at me.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Just stuff” I replied

“What kind of stuff” she retorted

“How you guys need to leave me alone, or you will get hurt. I’m bad luck, they will get me and they won’t stop… type of stuff”

She gripped my face and stared into my eyes and slowly said

“No one will ever take you from us Cal… no one, understood” she asked

I tried to look away, but she held me in place

“You have to trust me; we will always be with you”

I nodded and she let me go, “well, since I doubt you will be going back to sleep, why don’t you help me make breakfast” she asked

I jumped out of bed and put my slipper on and followed her. I avoided everyone stares. I looked at the ground until I reached the kitchen. When I heard Mia exclaim

“Calayla! Why are you walking?”

I looked down and realized that I just walked down the stairs and to the kitchen without any pain

“It doesn’t hurt anymore” I replied

I turned around and began getting out the flour and eggs to make pancakes and eggs. Letty made sure that only she and I were in the kitchen. I kept looking at her until she finally asked me why I was looking at her so much.

“It’s just you are so different from what I expected…” I replied

“Me? Different? How? She asked

“Well you race so you are fierce; you’re also stubborn at times, and not afraid to say what you think. Your protective and you don’t dress girly like Mia does. You kick butts at times too, but with all that said. You also are maternal, bit strict, and you like to cook and you know spend time with me… it’s different, I’m not use to that” I softly replied

I turned around and started frying the eggs, while Letty nodded and started making the pancakes. When all was ready and put on the table, I was putting the last egg in the refrigerator when I felt something being thrown at my head. I looked up to see Letty bursting into laughter with her hand covered in flour. I touched my hair and it was covered in flour. I looked at her and threw an egg at her. I hit the target soon we were running around the kitchen throwing flour at each other and laughing. When we heard a voice says

“What the hell is going on around here?”

We looked and saw there standing at the doorway Dominic, Mia, Brian and Vince.

“Well, you see this child over here? Well this child threw flour at my head while I was innocently putting the eggs away, so I threw an egg at her and then you know what was happening. I chuckled.

“She needs to have fun Dom; she is too by herself, only here with us. She needs to be around people her own age. She can’t always be serious.” Letty said

            Unexpectedly Letty then threw a handful of flour at Dom. She smacked him right in the chest, froze. Dom slowly lifted his hand and touched his now dirty shirt and then he yelled

“Oh you guys are in it for know”

            Letty quickly grabbed two handfuls of flour and started running throwing it at everyone; I quickly got three eggs and pelted at Brian Mia, and Dom. Soon we were all running around the kitchen growing flour and eggs at each other. After about 30 minutes we all collapsed on the floor. I quickly got up and ran and got a camera and took a picture of ourselves. After resting for a few minutes we all went to take a shower and then eat our breakfast.

            As we were all eating, Dom looked at me and told me

“Cal, I decided you will start school next week.

            I dropped my fork

“What?” I said

“I said you will be in school next week”

          Everyone looked at each other amazed

“Provided that we will take you to and from school, and at least one of us will be waiting for you at all times” he continued

         Those last few words killed anything happy I was feeling

“What? The last thing I need is a babysitter trailing after me as I walk through high school” I exclaimed

“Take it or leave it” was all he told me

             I sighed, got up and went outside onto the swing, High school with a babysitter…Great.
