Black Hearts

Chapter Twenty Five

Few minutes before meeting the boys:

Rosa's POV

Everybody had been preparing to find Roni, who was apparently under a secret lair in the Clear Lake Bowling Alley, where Lei and Cece hung out (before you know, we found out Lei was the psycho lover of Mason). Due to the boys having someone always following Lei, we found out they were holding Roni there. She had been a rival of my family gang for years, and she was planning to kill me from the start.

She gained my trust, we let her in our group and this is what happens:

We lose one of our own.

Once again.

I was grabbing some guns, which was honestly the last way I wanted to handle this situation, but Roni was kidnapped, and I knew peace wasn't going to be an option. I could hear my cell phone ring, and saw it was Cooper.

"Hey, are you on your way-" I began to say but he interrupts me.

"Rosa... Listen to me..." He begins. "If something happens to me-"

"Nothing will happen to you Cooper! We will get through this together-"

"Please, just listen! If something were to happen..." He pauses for a slight second. "I love you."

My breath hitched and in my throat. He knew he loved and he knew I loved him too, but I began uneasy with his tone of voice. He sounded as if he was saying goodbye.

"Cooper-" I started off but he spoke over me.

"I know... Rosie, my love... You shine brighter than any star and fill my heart with light. With you, I feel whole. I'll give you anything to keep you safe. That's why you need to stay home-"

"Coop... What are you talking about?"

"There's a tracking device hidden in the Red Bowling Pin in Lane 5. The device will help you track down Lei. Lei has the same device that links together, and she captured Roni before I could get to her. They disappeared before I came."

I was starting to cry when I heard gunshots in the background. "NO! Don't do this! Please! Come back and get me! I need to help you!" Then, the line went off. I sobbed out and slid to the ground with a gun in my hand. "I need you..." I whispered to myself.

A car pulled up, and I heard baging on the door. One of the girls let them in and shouted for us get in the car with the weapons because Cooper had secretly left without them. They knew about the tracking device I was frozen in place, and I hadn't realized the boys and the my girls had squatted down to my size to comfort me, as they cried.

Cooper could be dead, but I couldn't waste time and cry. I needed to find that Pin. I needed to find Roni. I needed to find the love of my life alive in that Bowling Alley...

Cece's POV

Once we got to the bowling alley, it was deathly quiet. No one was around and the inside of the bowling alley was empty. We all started to get out of the car, with all these damn weapons we had, thanks to Rosa.

POW POW POW

We all split up, half of the group going to the front of the bowling alley while the rest went to the back entrance. Trey, Rosa, and I ran to back of the bowling alley but once we got there we saw Mason's brother throwing Roni inside a white van and Lei in the driver seat.

I guess the bowling pin wasn't needed.

POW POW POW POW POW

We all started to shoot our guns, Mason's brother jumped into the van and Lei sped off with us continually shooting at the van.
