Black Hearts

Chapter Five

Roni's POV

When I woke up this morning, all I could think about was the things that happened last night at the party. Me and Cece getting in a fight; Rosa running away; and Rosa left on Steph's doorstep. It's so many things that are going on, and its only the beginning of the school year. What the hell?!

Sitting up, I looked around the room and didn't see Rosa. Automatically, I got worried and got up and searched around the house for her. I found her in Steph's library, sitting on the window seat, looking out the window. Her face had a blank expression, but you could also see the sadness in her eyes. So, I walked on and sat opposite of her.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, just thinking back on what happened last night, it was crazy," she said, still looking out the window.

"You never told us what happened last night, after you ran, do you remember what happened?" I asked, worried.

"I remember what happened, its just a lot" she said.

"I understand, just don't hold it in too long," I told her.

"Well, I don't mind sharing it with you," she said.

"Okay, just start when your ready," I tell her, after five minutes she starts to tell.

"So after Hillary, threw that vodka and poured food on me and I ran out the house, I took a 'shortcut' to an alley in the city but it had a dead end that's when I noticed it was a filthy alley and looked like it was in a bad neighborhood and then I realized I was lost. Then two guys came who were older and they were blocking the way out of the alley and one gripped me, but then a figure came and was beating the guys up, then picked me up, and then I blacked out. But I remember that he wore a necklace in the shape of a bird. Next thing I know, I remember waking up on the steps of Steph's house, with you guys surrounding me," Rosa said.

"Wow, that a lot that happened in one night, are you really ok, like deep inside? I asked.

"Yeah, now that I talked to someone I feel so much better," she said.

"Anytime girl, you knows I will always be there for my girls," I said while giving her a hug. Then she had this wondering looked on her face.

"Okay, what else is you thinking about, girl?" I asked.

"Well, I kind of think I know the guy who saved me from those two men," she said, while looking out the window.

"Oh really, who?" I asked curiously.

"Well,um, I think it was Cooper," she mumbled with her head down. My mouth fell open when she said, I was utterly shocked and surprised.

"Why do you think he was the one who saved you?" I asked.

"Well, I just have a strong feeling, I'm going to ask him tomorrow, but I not sure if I should," she said.

"Well, the only way for you to get the truth is by asking,"I said, truthfully.

"Well I'm going to ask him. Thanks for sitting here, and having a little therapy session with me," she said, and we laughed.

"Girl, it wasn't a problem, and your welcome," I said. So, we got up and left the library, and went to take showers and put on fresh clothes. After, I was done dressing in some black tights, striped socks, and a pink tank top, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen, the girls were cooking brunch, since we all woke up so late. After, we finished making brunch and eating, we decided to talk about what happened overall at the party last night, in the living room.

"I still can't believe them bitches threw her vodka and some food on Rosa, and they thought me and Cece were going to let that fly, oh hell no" I said, mad.
