Chapter 8

Liliana/Isabella's POV

"Isabella!" Toretto yelled as I fell.

I wasn't falling for long. I landed on the roof of the guy's car.

I hoped Toretto would understand.

The guy pulled me in to safety.

Dom POV

I couldn't understand why she made me let go.

But, I could breathe a sigh of relief when I saw she'd landed on Vince's hood.

The plane was breaking apart and I needed to get out... NOW!

I got out just before the plane crash landed.

Now I need to get back to my family.

Mia's POV

I looked back in the rear view mirror and I saw the plane explode.

It scared me because I don't know if they made it out of there in time.

The rest of the team and I kept driving to keep from harm's way.

I was relieved when I saw the final two cars appear from behind the fire.

Dom and Vince had made it out safely.

Both car flipped, which made my heart skip a beat.

Please be okay. I prayed

We all stopped a little way down the airstrip and got out of our car, waiting to see if everyone was okay.

The plane had finally stopped skidding.

But... we still didn't know if Dom, Vince and Isabella were okay.

We were relieved to see three figures emerging from behind the flames.

Letty strutted quickly over to Dom, Vince and Isabella.

She hugged Dom.

I'm just so glad they're alright. That's all that matters.

Dom POV

After getting out of the plane, I'd met up with Vince and Isabella.

We were driving to meet the others when we both flipped out of control.

We weren't down too long.

We all knew we had to get out of there if we ever wanted to see the team again.

Vince had to carry Isabella because she had injured her leg in the crash.

We walked around the fire and were reunited with the team.

Letty was the first person to come up to me. She hugged me real tight. I've missed this.

After she hugged me, she slapped Isabella on the back of the head and said, "Don't you ever fuc*in do that again. You hear me?!"

Isabella chuckled and nodded.

Mia's POV

We were all rejoicing that they were okay.

It was then I noticed Giselle was nowhere in sight.

"Where's Giselle?" I asked myself. I walked over to Han. "Where's Giselle?" I asked.

He simply kept staring at the flames.

I knew instantly that she was gone. I pulled him into a hug. Brian came over and hugged him as well.

There's one member of our family gone. We've already almost lost so many.

Dom and Letty walked hand in hand towards us, followed by Vince and Isabella.

He held up something. "So this is worth billions, huh?" He asked Hobbs, handing it over.

"Yes, it is." Hobbs said. "Name your price, Dom."

Dom looked at Letty before he said,"1327." He was referring to our address in L.A.

Nobody from the team except Dom, Letty, Vince, Jesse, Leon, Brian and I understood why he chose such a precise number.

After everything was settled, we were on a flight back home.

Our family was now mostly complete.

We had Letty and Isabella back, but we lost Giselle.

L.A. here we come.

Dom's POV

We'd just made it back a few days ago and were having our traditional family dinner together and Spanish music playing in the background.

The family was almost complete.

I just hope we don't lose any other members anytime soon.

"Don't burn it this time. Please?" said Roman as he approached Tej.

"I never go and burn it, man." Tej said.

"Good food." Brian said, holding Jack as he and Mia walked around showing Jack the house. He kept talking aloud to Jack. "The air quality here is lousy, the traffic is bad, but I think you'll learn to like this place."

"Yeah, and here you've got your own garage so you can build a car with Daddy." Mia said, cutting in.

"We'll be building a car?"

"First car better be a Charger, Jack." I said, from by my place between Letty, Isabella and Vince.

"You mean Skyline." Brian tried to correct me.

I laughed. "Like I said, he's a Toretto."

"You're confusing the kid." Brian told me.

"Mia, you're gonna let him get away with this?" I said as we all walked over to Mia and Brian.

Tej's POV

"You're really going to do it? Tokyo." Roman asked Han.

"Yeah, it's just something I gotta do." Han told us.

"You know we got your back, whenever you need us." I told him. He lifted his Corona, as did I, before we both took a sip.

I really hope he'll be okay. After all, this is a family. We already lost one member. We don't need to lose any more.

I went back to the grill as Roman was basting the chicken.

Liliana/Isabella's POV

Standing around, I realized this looked like the house from my flashbacks/dreams.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard, "Hey, Mia, you better hide your baby oil. I'm just playing." It was Roman.

He was talking about Hobbs who was walking up the driveway with a woman I've never seen before.

I had to laugh when Hobbs said, "You better hide that big-ass forehead."

Even Tej spit out some of his beer because he was laughing so much.

"I was just joking, but whatever. Definitely not that funny." Roman muttered.

Hobbs walked up to Letty, Brian, Mia, the guy I learned was named Vince and I.

"It's official. You're all free." Hobbs said and handed Dom some files. "It wasn't half bad,having you work for me. "

Dom had been looking at the woman who came with Hobbs but quickly turned to look at Hobbs when he heard that statement. "We all know you were working for me, Hobbs."

We all chuckled.

"Agree to disagree." Brian said, effectively ending the playful argument. "Thank you. "

He and Mia then walked away with Jack, but not before Hobbs said, "Good Luck."

Letty walked up to the woman who came with Hobbs.

"Elena?" Letty asked. So that's her name.

"Letty." Elena said.

I could still hear Tej and Roman as they were not the quietest people.

"This is gonna be awkward..." Roman started.

"... But sexy as hell." Tej and Roman finished in unison.

Men, I thought to myself.

I continued listening to Letty and Elena's conversation. Yeah I'm a little nosey... but whatever.

"I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for him. For us. It takes an amazing woman." Letty said.

"He's an amazing guy." Elena said.

"Yeah, he is."

"Try to keep him out of trouble, huh?"

Letty laughed before saying, "Now, you know that's not gonna happen."

"I know." Elena replied, laughing herself.

Vince and I were standing next to Dom and Hobbs as they continued their conversation.

"Not bad for a cop." Dom said.

"I never thought I'd trust a criminal." Hobbs replied. "Until next time."

"Until next time." Dom repeated.

Hobbs began walking away an Elena turned to follow him.

"Elena." Dom called, making her turn around. Dom walked over to her. "You know you don't have to go."

"All this... This is your family. It's who you are." Elena said. She picked up her badge. "This is my family. This is who I am."

She kissed him on the cheek before she turned and left.

Dom walked over to join the rest of the team.

Vince was about to follow after him, but I grabbed his hand, pulling him back to me.

"Yeah?" He asked, clearly confused.

"I just wanted to thank you for saving me... twice." I said. I didn't realize until after overhearing Elena and Dom's conversation, that I never thanked Vince for saving me either time.

"It's no big deal. I'm sure any other of the guys would of done it." He said, trying to be modest, which didn't seem like him, even if I don't really know him.

'Still... Thank you." I then reached up and kissed his scruffy cheek, which tickled. I giggled at his reaction.

We began walking over to the others, hoping nobody notice the tension between us.

"All right, everybody, let's eat. " Tej yelled.

Everyone gathered around the picnic table.

"Want some help with that?" Letty asked Tej.

"It's all here, it's done." Roman said, placing the remaining food down.

"Hey Isabella..." Mia said.

For some reason I looked at her.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I forgot the tongs in the kitchen, can you please go get them?" She asked.

Seeing she and Brian were busy with Jack and everyone found something to do, I said, "Sure."

I walked up the steps of the house and walked inside to the kitchen.

I spotted the tongs. I picked them up, but as I did so, I saw a picture of two girls.

One looked like Mia and the other weirdly enough looked like me according to one of the photos my dad showed me.

Dad...

I'd completely forgotten about him until now.

Looking out the kitchen window at Dom and the rest of the team, I realized that nothing mattered more than where I am now.

I feel more at home here than I ever did with my dad or Shaw.

I looked back down at the photo.

I must of been very distracted because I hadn't heard Dom come up behind me.

"Pretty picture, huh?' He said, making me jump. "Sorry. Didn't mean to make you jump. I just thought I'd check on you. You were taking a while to come back with the tongs."

"It's okay." I said. "Who are these girls?"

"Two of the three most important girls in my life." He said. "Now let's go back out there before food is either gone or gone cold."

I followed back outside, tongs in hand.

"Sorry everyone." I said as I reached the table and passed Mia the tongs. Everyone muttered something to the effects of 'It's okay.'

I looked around and realized there were no more seats available.

Noticing me looking around, Vince said, "You can sit with me." He patted his lap.

Seeing I had no other option, I walked, and blushed slightly as I sat on his lap.

On my left was who I came to know as Leon. He was a pretty chill and funny guy. He hadn't seen the team in years, until now.

On my right was Jesse. Jesse was adorable. He's almost like a little brother. He's fidgety, but he told me it's because he struggles from ADD, He explained to me that he'd been shot a couple of years and almost died. The team thought he died until about a year ago.

I find it absolutely amazing how open and welcoming everyone has been towards me, considering everything.

After I settled in Vince's lap, Roman almost instantly cleared the air by saying, "Come on, man, let's get with it." He' grabbed a chip and bit into it.

Brian looked up, pointed at him and said, "First bite, he's got grace. House rules, man. House rules."

I was close enough to hear Dom ask Letty, "Any of this feel familiar to you?"

"No." Letty said. "But it feels like home."

"That's good enough for me." Dom told her.

All of a sudden, I had another one of my flashbacks.

"Vince! Vince!" A young girl, who looked a lot like me when I was younger yelled.

"Vince" turned around from his place and looked quite similar to the Vince who's lap I was sitting on now. Beside him stood a kid probably the same as Vince who looked a lot like Dom, but with short brown curly hair.

The little girl ran up to Vince.

"Yes Isabella?" He asked the little girl.

"Isabella" reached up onto her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek before running away back to a man.

"Let's go daddy!" Isabella exclaimed.

The man sat her in the car before getting in, and driving away.

I was snapped out of my thought by someone saying, "Isabella! Isabella."

It was Dom.

"Hmm? Sorry. What were you saying?" I asked.

"I asked if any of this feels familiar?" He asked.

"Kind of. I mean I've had dreams of this house before. But, I never told anyone but Letty." I paused as Dom looked to Letty for conformation. Letty nodded. "I'm not sure how I feel safer than I ever did in the short time I've known you guys. But Letty's right. It feels like home. A real home... with a real family."

"I'm glad you feel that way."

I smiled at him and he smiled back.

Roman decided to lighten up the mood. "All right, y'all. Come on, let's do this. "

"Okay, Roman," Dom said and sighed. "bless our table."

Everyone joined hands and bowed their heads.

"Father, thank you for the gathering of friends. Father, we give thanks for all the choices we've made, because that's what makes us who we are. Let us forever cherish the loved ones we've lost along the way. Thank you for the little angel, the newest addition to our family. Thank you for bringing Letty and Isabella home. And most of all, thank you for fast cars."

I was finally home. At least it felt like home.
