Letty spent the rest of the day hiding out in her room. She had only one confrontation with Chase. He tried to get her to go out with him and his friends that night. Needless to say she declined, and not politely either. She had anticipated her boredom, so she brought a seemingly endless supply of car magazines, and to her disgust, Mia had slipped a Cosmo into the stack. She immediately tossed it onto the floor, but by the time she had finished with all her magazines, and had flipped through all four channels that they got out here in the middle of nowhere, there seemed to only be two options; picking up the offending reading material, or hanging out with Chase. She took less than 30 seconds deliberation time, and reached to the floor for the blue magazine, the cover decorated with a scantily clad model.
�I can not believe I�m doing this.� She mumbled to herself. �But hey, it�s better than spending time with Chase.
She flipped through the adds at the front, there were never that many in car magazines, and came to the table of contents. The articles seemed pretty boring but her eyes stopped on a quiz, �How compatible are you and your man.� She figured it sounded interesting, and flipped to page 75 where the quiz was. She searched for a pen within grabbing distance, and found one on the night table. �Okay�, she thought, �First question�.
1. Can you trust your man completely?
Yes
No
Well that was a no.
2. Does your guy make you feel special?
Always
Sometimes
Never
Sometimes.
3. Do you still get butterflies when you�re around him?
Yes
No
Definitely yes.
4. Has your boy ever cheated on you?
Yes
No
Unfortunately yes.
5. Do you agree on everything?
Yes
No
Are you kidding, we can never agree.
She added up her points and found the paragraph the pertained to her: If you scored in this category, I�m sorry to tell you, but you need to drop your man. You probably fight all the time, and never get along. There probably isn�t much, if any trust, and it�s not a healthy relationship, find someone who will take care of your needs.
She threw the magazine on the floor. �What bullshit.� She was upset, but it made her think, maybe she really should end it with Dom once on for all. She was so confused, how could you love someone so much, and not be meant to be with them? It just didn�t make any sense at all. Dom was her everything. Whether they got along or not, he was all she had, and she didn�t want anyone or anything else to fill that place.
She lay down of the quilt that covered her bed and shut her eyes. Before she knew it she was asleep. If only she could see the horror that plagued her near future. For now she rested peacefully in her room, locked away from reality.
~Ring~
When I heard the phone ring, I just knew. I don�t know how I knew but I did. I picked it up and it was Vince. �Bad news Chica. It�s Dom��
�I�m coming home.�
�Good, it�s pretty bad.�
�Is he okay?�
�Kinda. His car�s totaled. He�s really beat up. The doctors didn�t know if he was going to make it when he first got there. They say he will though. You gotta come home Let. Mia needs you, Dom needs you, and I miss my little sister.�
�I�m not little anymore V.�
�I know Chica, but I like to think you still need me to protect you.�
�I know you do. I�ll be home as soon as I can. I�ll try to leave today, if not, I�ll get outta here tomorrow, tell Mia to take care of Dom for me, and to take care of herself, watch them for me V, don�t let anything happen until I get there.�
