rome spit blood off to the side, fingering his eye as Mia helped him up. One of his ribs was probably bruised too. He should have taken that self-defense class Brian had taken when they were younger, that was for sure.
His last real fight came back to him with perfect clarity, Brian yelling that he still fought like shit. The thought made him grin, then wince when the smile pulled on his split lip.
"You got some ice for a hurt man, Mia?" he asked petulantly, knowing that the only way he could get payback for the beating was making her even more mad at her brother.

Letty had gone upstairs to take a shower, and change her clothes. The minute she came out of the bathroom, she could hear a ruckus taking place downstairs.
"What the hell?" she could swear someone was killin someone down there.
Then she heard Dom yelling at someone, and Mia yelling over him. She rolled her eyes quickly pulling on her top, and leaving her hair still wet dangling loose about her shoulders.
"This is what happens when you leave them alone for two seconds..." she started down the stairs taking two at a time.

"Go talk to your man Letty"She nodded towards Dom on the yard.

"What the hell has got him going now?" she asked Mia spotting a guy she didn't recognize sitting in the kitchen sporting a split lip.
She rolled her eyes it was obviously Dom's handywork, "Where is he?"

"Hey man what's happening?" She greeted frowning at his spilt lip, "Don't worry he's like this with everyone I'll make him apoligize."
Letty ran out into the back and found Dom pacing like an angry worked up bull, "Dom...DOM!" she called to get his attention.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" she frowned at him breathing hard.

Rome just nodded his head. "I'll be okay. Gotten worse from Brian in high school." He knew it was a lie, and he knew she knew it, but it didn't hurt all that much. Besides, he knew how to take a punch. He woulda looked like hamburger meat if he hadn't rolled with it.
"Thanks, pretty lady," he said to Letty as she went out the back door. "I think I'm going to like her."

Mia laughed nodding her head "Shes a fire cracker"She smiled and checked him over once more.
"Your head stars hurting, seeing stars, light headed anything like that you let me know"She stated "My brother hits kinda hard"she gave him a small smile.

Dom whirled on Letty when she came out. "Don't you start," he growled, pointing the tongs at her. "Do not start with me! It wasn't my problem that started this mess!" He couldn't just come out and say that he was terrified about what was going to happen; not even to Letty. He popped his shoulders back in agitation again, feeling the tension rise.

Letty moved his hand out of the way, "Um so does that mess involve beating up Mia's house guest?" she asked.
"What did she even say to you to piss you off?" Dom was still fuming rubbing his head with his hands like he was nervous.
"Ey...hey what's wrong?" she asked softly holding his face between her hands to stop him from looking away, "Talk to me Dom."

"Nothing's wrong, Letty. It's just..." He couldn't finish the sentence and turned back to the grill; cooking always soothed, though it wasn't doing such a good job at the moment. "Nothing."

Letty frowned, "Don't lie to me Dom, I know there's something bothering you." she walked around the grill so she could see his face.
She stood in front of him her arms crossed over her chest, "Since you came back you've been snapping at everyone, it doesn't take much to set you off."

"None of this was my fault! Don't you say it was!" Inreality, that was probably the reason he was so jumpy; he had no control over the situation because he had hidden like a pussy while everyone else put their asses on the line for his family.

Letty shook her head, "I'm not blaming you for anything Dom, I'm just saying. I understand there has been a lot to take in since you got back, but it's not like you had a choice on whether or not you wanted to leave."
She ran her and through her hair it was beginning to dry with the warm air outside. "If you stayed we would all be in jail right now, then what would have been the point of breaking you out?"

He deflated slightly, rolling his neck again. "I'm tired Letty, and then all this shit pops up and... Damnit this is my house. Why am I never consulted on who comes here?" He shook his head. "That wasn't fair... I wasn't here, and now everything's gone belly-up. Maybe I should have stayed in Guatemala."

Letty uncrossed her arms, suddenly feeling a bit angry and frustrated. "We're all tired Dom, we all would have loved if none of this shit went down, but lifes a bitch, and we're just going to have to deal with whatever she throws at us."
She looked in the backdoor and saw Mia still attending to Rome in the kitchen. "I'm sure Mia was going to tell you, before you snapped on her," Then Dom mentioned staying in Guatemala.
Letty felt her temper flare, "We'll why didn't you I'm sure we would have found another way to get Brian and Leon out of jail ourselves." she said breathing hard.
"Your sister needs you Dom now more than ever," she let her arms hang loosely at her sides, then she remembered Rome, "I want you to apoligize to Rome as well."

"Yeah, fine, allright," he muttered, looking down, but his head snapped up when she told him he should've stayed in Guatemala.
"Yeah, maybe I shoulda, huh? Maybe I should just go back, save everybody the fuckin' trouble! Maybe I shoulda resisted gettin' rescued in the first place, huh? Guess it really is my fault!" He threw the tongs across the yard and began to pace again, feeling about as close to tears as a person could get without letting them fall.
"And Mia's a big girl, just like that boy in there is a grown man. They can deal..." He kicked the shed and started back for his car, really intent on getting some cigarettes, fuck the fact that smoking was the only thing he'd kept himself from.

Letty sighed frustrated, "Fine Dom I don't care what you do!" she yelled at him, flinching when he flung the tongs across the yard.
"No one's saying it's your damn fault you just feel like you have to go around and carry the weight of the world on your shoulders." she fumed.
Turning she stormed back into the house unable to deal with him while he was being so stubborn. "So freakin hopeless," she muttered angrilly under her breath.

Dom got in the car and made it as far as pulling up to a gas station before he kept going, knowing that the smokes wouldn't help him. Instead he drove around til he cooled off, then carefully made his way into the house, head ducked, knowing he was wrong.
"Sorry," he muttered, moving through the kitchen and hoping it would be left at that.

Letty followed guiltily behind Dom, entering the kitchen and taking a seat at the table, and grinning and winking at Rome.
"What did I tell ya?"
