I was sleeping peacefully when suddenly someone knocked on the door, hard. "Wake up Dom!" The voice yelled.

I groaned a bit and snuggled more into the pillow. Wait. It didn't feel like a pillow. I cracked open my eyes a bit but quickly shut it due to the sun that shined through the window. I opened my eyes again and blinked a few times to adjust to the light.

I pushed myself up but noticed that I was held back by something heavy. I looked up and saw Dom staring at me with a slight smirk. The knocking was continuing and annoying me.

"Morning sleepyhead." Dom said with a grin.

"Shush." I said and covered his mouth with my hand making him grin against my hand. "I've gotten a huge hangover and IF THE PERSON, WHO KNOCKS KEEPS KNOCKING! I WILL KNOCK THERE FUCKING TEETH OUT!" I yelled at the person who was behind the door and pulled my hand from Dom's mouth. Finally the knocking stopped.

Dom laughed at me and wraps his arms around my waist pulling me back to him. "Not a morning person huh?" He asked chuckling.

"I'm not a hangover person." I said grumpily and put my head back on his chest.

"Alright. I'm getting you an aspirin and some water for ya." He said and I pulled away from him so that he could stand up.

He got up and stretched a bit. I looked at him and was mesmerized by how his back muscles moved as he stretched. He opened the door and walked out of the room not forgetting to close the door behind him.

I sighed and decided to get up. I was still in my clothes from yesterday. I wasn't that drunk yesterday that I couldn't remember anything so that was good. I stretched my arms above my head and walked up to a mirror that hang on the wall. I checked my make-up and saw that it was a bit smudged, I'm glad that I only had put on some mascara and concealer yesterday.

I brush my hand through my hair hoping to get it a bit fixed, it only made it worse so I just decided to put in a ponytail. As I was putting my hair in a ponytail there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said and they opened the door. Dom stepped in with a glass of water in hand and in the other two aspirins. "Oh my god, yesss." I said glad that he came to my rescue.

"Two aspirins and some water." He said and handed me the glass of water and aspirins. I drown the two aspirins down with some water.

"Thanks Dom." I said with a small smile.

"No problem. Mia has made breakfast. You coming?" He asked me and held the door open for me:

"Yes I'm coming." I said with a smile and walked out of the bedroom to the stairs, Dom following me.

As we got downstairs chatter filled my ears. I walked into the dining room together with Dom. "Goodmorning." I greeted to them with a soft smile.

Letty and Leon where sitting next to each other at the table, Brian was next to Leon and Mia was walking in and out of the kitchen, putting the breakfast on the table.

"Morning." Letty said grumpily, probably having a worser hangover then me.

"Goodmorning. How's the hungover?" Brian asked me with a grin.

"Shut up." I said making them all laugh. I sat down on the opposite side of Letty, Dom took a seat next to me.

"Goodmorning, how did you sleep?" Mia asked with with a soft smile as she took a seat on the other side of me.

"Good. Had a very comfortable pillow." I said with a grin making Don next to me chuckle.

"Alright I see where you heading." Letty said making everyone laugh a bit.

Brian reached over to get some bread from the bowl that was on the table but his hand was smacked away by Mia. I hit my laughter behind my hand as the look on Brian's face was brilliant.

"Brian, since you reached for the food first. You gotta say a grace." Dom said with a smirk, leaning his hands on the table a bit and interlaced his fingers.

Brian was thinking of something while we all waited for him to start. "Dear heavenly uhh... spirit. I thank you for the food and for the great things that may come. I also thank you for watching over us. Amen." Brian said the grace.

"Amen." We all said and we started to dig in.

I grabbed some bread and put it on my plate. I looked around the table and smiled as I had missed the feeling of having family.

This isn't some bestfriend group. It's a family, a team. People who you can lean on and who are there for each other. Who will be there for you through thick and thin, dark and light times.

"You alright?" Dom asked me in a whisper as everyone else talked together.

"Yeah why?" I asked him softly as I turned my head to look at him.

"You looked like you where lost in thought." He said with a soft smile.

"I was. But don't worry. It was nothing bad." I said with a smile.

"Good." He said back with a nod and went back to eating.

Half an hour later we where all done and where now just all talking and having fun.

"Leon, Brian, Jesse and I are gonna fix the rusty ass car that Brian brought in yesterday. You girls wanna come?" Dom asked me and the two girls.

"Nah. I got some shit to do. Maybe I'll join you later today." Letty said.

"I gotta work in the shop, so I can't." Mia said and they all now focused on me, waiting for my answer.

"Oh you meant me too?" I questioned making them all nod a bit. "I uhm.. yeah sure. I guess I can help." I said with a shrug.

"Great. Let's clean up the table." Dom said with a nod and we all stood up to clean up the table.

An hour later me and the boys arrived at the garage. Me and Dom stepped out of my car and opened the garage door. Dom had to ride with me cause his car was still dumped in some garage.

"Let's get started." Dom said with a grin and we all walked into the garage.

(Few hours later)

We're finally done with fixing the outside of the car and where now sitting outside on a broken car. It had no windows, no engine, nothing. Just the outside of the car that was battered and broken. The boys had taken off there shirts cause off the sun that was shining on us the whole entire time.

I had borrowed some pants from Dom that where too small for him. I had my top off and was now sitting in a small top that covered my bra, exposing my slightly toned stomach. The boys sat on top of the car while I sat on Dom's lap as he was sitting on the hood of the car. His arm was wrapped around my waist and a beer in his other hand.

Over the last hours me and Dom had gotten a lot closer. I got to know a few things about him, how he met his friends, when he started street racing, why he street races and so on. Right now we where talking about when each one of us started driving.

"I was like five years old. While I'm sitting on my fathers lap. He's got me propped up and both of my hands are on the steering wheel. And it kept going faster and faster." Dom said from behind me as we all listened to his story. "And I remember hearing him laughing. The faster we went, the happier he got." Dom explained while I was playing with his fingers that where wrapped around my waist.

"How old where you again?" Jesse asked and took a sip of his beer.

"Five." Dom said.

Damn five years old. That is young.

"My mom taught me how to drive." Leon said.

"Your mom?" Dom asked him a bit surprised.

"Yeah man." He said and paused for a moment, like he needed some more courage to talk further. "It was right before she left though. You know... I hate her for that, but I can't hate her completely you know." Leon said making me nod in understanding and smiled softly at him which he returned.

"First time I drove. It was my learners permit and we where on the 40 freeway, my mother and I. Car in front of me locks up his brakes." Brian began and did some sound affects from a braking car making me laugh a little. "And then BOOM! Someone blew into me from behind, 5 car pile up. First time I drove." Brian said making Dom's chest shake from his chuckle.

"Before my dad went away. He bought me this uhh 71 Malibu classic. First day I got my license, it's the greatest day. It was also the first day I had sex." Jesse said making us laugh and took a sip from his beer. "I shit you not." He said with a laugh.

"What about you, darling?" Dom asked me.

"Well. Back in Miami we had this store called 'Busters'. It was like a car store but very cheap and some broken cars in it. I was 9, Me and some friend decided that it was a good idea to break in at night." I said with a slight laugh as I got flashbacks from that night. "We got in through the window. No alarm, nothing. Car keys we couldn't find so we had to, you know, crack open the car-door, cut the wires and shit. For some reason I found it a good idea to steel a Yugo." I said making them laugh. "I got in. Literally drove through the glass window, my two friends following behind. The third corner I turned, cops. Sure I've had seen how my mom used to drive, but she was a shit ass driver so I didn't know anything about first gear and all that." I said with a grin. "Well I was pulled over, had to sleep in a cell for one night and well, that was it." I said with a shrug.

"Broken the law at the age of 9 huh?" Dom teased me making us laugh.

"Broken the law at the age of 6. But that's another story." I said with a laugh.

"Something about learning how to drive. Well it's a- you- you're- you're a driver or not a driver. So up until the point you start driving is one lifetime and then after you start driving is another lifetime." Dom said.

"Your a wise man, Dominic." I said teasingly with a grin and grabbed his bottle of beer form his hand and took a sip.

"I know. I'm the oldest here so I'm the smartest." Dom said with a grin making us all laugh.

"Sure brother." Leon said sarcastically, making us laugh more.

"So where having a barbecue tonight. You wanna come?" Dom asked me as we all calmed down from laughing and pulled me closer to his chest by my waist.

"Sure. Sounds fun." I said with a smile.

"Good." Dom said and smiled down at me as he gave my waist a small squeeze. "Brian you also coming?" Dom asked him.

"Sure, man. Sounds great." Brian said with a nod and took a sip of his beer.

"Alright now that's cleared, lets get back to work." Dom said and grunted a bit as he got off the hood from the car, taking me with him. He sets me down and pulls away from me to get back to work.

The boys followed soon after us and we started working on the insides of the car. The seats, engines, NOS tank and all that kind of stuff. Making the car ready to go racing at 'Race War'.
