Chapter 10: The Letter and is this goodbye?

Brian had dropped Bea off at the apartment, must to her displeasure, she sat down on the couch worried about her uncle.

She was afraid Dom might have done something, and Bea already lost one guardian, she didn't want to lose another.

Bea was so in her thoughts that she didn't notice that an envelope had been slid under the door.

Though a knock on her door brought her out of her thoughts, she stood immediately as her body was tense.

Going towards the window, and she check outside but saw no one.

Sighing, she goes towards the door, as she picked up the envelope, looking at it curiously as it had her name written on it.

Bea heard aloud engine outside, without thinking she opened the door, walked towards the railing, looking over to see a person on a motorcycle.

They looked up at Bea, who glared down at them.

The person, on the motorcycle, road away as Bea watched them go in curiosity.

Bea walked back inside the apartment, taking her previous spot on the couch.

Looking at the envelope, debating whether she should open it or not.

After making up her mind, she decided to open it.

Taking out what seemed to be a credit card that had a little note inside, along with a necklace.

My little bumblebee, life has a way of changing one's plans. And I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you right now, especially since I need you more than you needed me.

We've been through so much together in the last few years, even if it wasn't for that long, it is my fault you're in this life and knowing I can't get you out, hurts me alot.

I know you must be hurting too, and I should be there when I'm not. But you have your Uncle Brian to take care of you and look after you while I'm gone for a while.

This necklace was given to me by your father, as it came from his mother, your grandmother, so I'm gifting it to you.

So you can feel close to both of us, despite what I say about your father, he loves you deeply, just know that and know that I'm always here for you.

And one day when I know it's safe, I'll come back for you, and you can tell me all the fun stories and adventures you had while I was away.

The card here is supposed to help you and your Uncle out. Even though you can't see me or know where I am, just know I'm always watching you two.

So use this card to your liking and keep an eye on your uncle for me. And stay out of trouble, don't get caught. - I love you, my little one.

Bea's eyes began to tear up as she read the note, setting the envelope back down.

After a while, Brian had come back to the apartment as Bea had fallen asleep on the couch while waiting for him.

Brian kneeled, waking her up. "Hey, Bea, you gotta wake up." Bea groaned as she turned, facing the opposite direction of Brian. "Bea, this is important, you need to wake up."

Bea opened her eyes, turning to face Brian with a sad yet annoyed look on her face.

"Do you need something?" Bea asked. "You're kinda cutting into my nap time."

Brian notices her tear-stained cheeks. "What's wrong? Why were you crying?"

Bea wiped her cheeks, sitting up on the couch. "Nothing happened."

Brian gave her a look. "Now I know you're lying."

Bea sighed. "It's mom, she was here."

"What?" Brian asked in disbelief.

"She was here," Bea told him as she gestures to the envelope on the table in front of her. "She left that for me, I saw her drive off on her motorcycle." Bea began to cry. "She didn't even try to see me, she just left me a stupid card to use, a note and here necklace."

Brian wiped her tears away. "I'm sorry, Bea." Bea closed her eyes. "Listen, I know now is not the right time, but we need to go." Bea opened her eyes, looking at Brian confused. "I just did something really stupid, and I'm going to get in trouble for it unless we don't leave right now."

Bea tilted her head. "What'd you do?"

"I let Dom go," Brian told her.

"I thought for sure he would have killed you," Bea told him. "But I guess I was wrong."

Brian chuckles. "Go pack your things, we're leaving in ten minutes."

"I don't need to pack my stuff," Bea told him. "I haven't unpacked at all since we've been living here." Brian looked at her confused. "I had a feeling something would go down, so I decided to leave everything in my bag. You should go and pack while I wait for you. You got ten minutes, oops, make that nine."

Brian stood as he shook his head, walking away.

Bea took up the necklace from the table, looking at it, debating whether or not she should keep it.

Sighing as she put it over her neck.

A few days later, Brian and Bea were on the run, as the police had been trying to track down Brian for weeks.

Currently, they were in Arizona, as Brian had stopped for a few days as he wanted to go to a street race to make some quick cash.
Though Bea insisted that they use the card her mom had gotten her, Brian kept saying no, as the money was left for her, not him.

Bea couldn't argue with that logic, plus Bea was happy to be staying at a motel as she needed a shower and bed to sleep on, which was way better than sleeping in a car which she found uncomfortable.

Bea lay in bed thinking, knowing that the rest of herself was gonna change due to the recent events in L.A. and she didn't know if it would be a good change or a bad one.

But as long as she wasn't alone, she didn't care what would happen.

A/N:Please comment to let me know what you think and also vote. This won't be the last time Bea will see the Toretto Family, I have so much planned for her.
