Hearts' Desire

Chapter Seven

Servando's P.O.V.

I watch Tobin and Alex talking and laughing together. It pisses me off to see my beautiful girlfriend off talking to some stupid dyke. Well, I'm pissed at Alex too. That bitch has the nerve to break up with me after I give her everything a girl could want. Money, popularity, respect, I have it all. I could have paid her way through college and made sure she got a good job. Heath is poor and unpopular, plus she always has her annoying kid sister tagging along. I see Tobin and Alex share a quick kiss, and my blood boils. Alex Morgan deserves better than her. 

"I'll see you later, Lex." Tobin says before going off to her car. Lex. that was my nickname for her. Tobin gets in her car with Christen Press and Thalia. They drive off. I get in my car and drive after them. I pull up next to Christen's house, and Christen and Tobin get out. They chat for a bit, and I pull out my phone in case something happens. I'm not disappointed. Tobin and Christen kiss, and I take a picture. I know just who to send this to.

Alex's P.O.V.

My phone buzzes with a text from Servando. I reluctantly open it. It contains a picture of Tobin and Christen kissing. Jealousy instantly fills me. I angrily grab my purse and shove my phone into my pocket before getting in the car and driving to Christen's house. I bang on the door for a while before the bitch has the decency to open it. 

"Oh! Hey Alex!" she says cheerfully. "What are you--" I don't give her a chance to finish as I slap her across the face. 

"Ow!" she yells. "What the hell, Morgan?!" I show her the picture. 

"What the hell were you doing kissing my girl?!" I demand angrily. 

"Your girl?!" Christen shoots back. "Tobin is mine!" 

"I don't think so, bitch!" I yell. 

"Well then you have another think coming!" Christen yells. "She's mine! She's always been mine and she'll always be mine!" 

"How about we let her choose." I suggest. 

"Fine." Christen says. I text Tobin and tell her to come over. Ten minutes later, Tobin comes up and knocks on the door. 

"Hey Press. Hey Alex. Oh, Jesus Christ what happened?" 

"Choose." Press says. 

"What?" Tobin says, confused. 

"Choose one of us, Tobin." I say. Tobin looks between us, clearly torn. 

"I..." she says. 

"You what?" Christen asks. 

"I can't." Tobin says. She runs to her car and speeds off. 

"Shit." Christen says. 

"This was your fault." I say. 

"My fault?! It was your idea!" she snaps. 

"Let's just go find her, okay?" I sigh. 

"Fine." Christen says. "But I don't have a car, so we'll have to use yours." 

"Fine." I say. We look everywhere. The arcade, the field, the indoor arena, her favorite coffee shop, even the Nike store. It starts to rain. 

"Where could she have gone?" Christen asks. 

"I think I know one more place we can look." I say. I drive to the graveyard. Mist is starting to roll in, giving the place an eerie atmosphere. 

"Get out." I tell Christen. 

"What?!" Christen says. 

"Get out of the car and let's look for her!" I say. "Come on! I'm not running around some creepy ass graveyard by myself. Let's go!" we walk between the rows of tombstones until we see someone hunched over one of them. We walk up to them. It's Tobin, and she's sobbing. 

"Tobin?" I say, reaching out to gently touch her shoulder. She jumps. 

"Alex," she says, wiping away tears. "Christen. What are you doing here?" 

"We're here to take you home." I say. "You're cold and soaked. Come on. I have some blankets in the car." I wrap my arm around her shoulder and guide her to my car. I wrap a blanket around her and gently push her into the front seat. 

"What about my car?" Tobin asks. 

"I'll drive it." Christen says. We drive back to Tobin's house, and she goes in. Christen and I follow. 

"Thalia!" she yells. "I'm home!" there's no response. The house is dead silent. "Thalia?!" Tobin yells. Still nothing. Tobin runs upstairs. Christen and I hear doors slamming, and Tobin runs down to the basement, then into the kitchen, through the dining room, and out back. When she comes back in, her face is pale. 

"My sister is gone." she says.
