Rosaleen

I ran to my room and slammed it not being able to comprehend that Jack would cheat on me.

I kept my face in my pillow then heard the door creak open.

Joey

Her face was hidden in her pillow. I sat down on her bed and was about to comfort her.

I held my hand up with my mouth open about to say something but closed my mouth and put my hand back.

Fuck joey say something.

I got up and set foot out the door then heard Rosaleen lift up from the pillow. I turned to see her face red.

"You would think he would not cheat after he's been chasing me for a year. What's wrong with me," her voice cracked.

I let go of the door knob then sat back down next to her closing the space between our legs.

"Rosaleen, there is nothing wrong with you. You're a badass. He's dumb for choosing any girl over you. You'll find your woody to your bo one day," I rested my arms on my legs.

[I watched toy story 4 for the second time and cried lolol bye-]

she laughed through her tears, " Did you just reference Toy story."

I nodded, " I sure did. It made you smile though."

She kept her smile and locked eyes on mine then it faded back to sadness.

"Come here," I held my arms out.

She hesitated.

"This is rare rosey. Take advantage," my arms were waiting for her to grasp.

She gave in and I could hear her heart beating next to mine. It was fast.

This feeling was weird for me. I'm always seen as strict and serious. Something about Rosaleen tempered with that.

"Well I'm gonna go to bed, " I let go of her, " tomorrow we train more."

Rosaleen

When he left my heart was still beating.

Why does he do this to me? He can't be doing this on purpose.

I woke up with all the sleep I needed. Usually training was straight in the morning but I got to sleep in.

The house seemed quiet...too quiet. Joey was up by this time most of week.

I opened the door and started walking downstairs then found no sign of him.

A note was laying flat saying he left to get groceries.

What am I doing with my life. I'm living with a boy I could potentially like when his father can come anytime.

I noticed Joeys phone open on the otherside of the marbled counter.

"He won't know," I reached for the phone then pulled it to my face to snoop.

"No I shouldn't," I put it back down till it dinged. The notification was from a guy named louie.

"Dude that's not good," I read out loud what he texted. I scrolled up the text so I could understand the context.

Text:

L- weren't you supposed to kill that girl a while ago and get the information?

J- I can't do it. She doesn't deserve it.

L- dawg..Her parents have plotting against your dad for months and now that they're dad they have her and hitman to get him. You've killed people before just do it.

J- she's different!

L- Dude that's not good.

End of text

I heard the garage open then slid the phone back to where it was and acted like I was making myself breakfast.

Joey came in with a couple of bags and set them down then started to put the food away.

"I decided to push training time later today."

"Fine by me, " I curled my lips in to fight the urge to tell him what I read.

"Is that rocky road ice cream?" My eyes glowed at the beautiful tub of ice cream.

He nodded, " You better not eat it all. Rocky road is my favorite."

It was mine too..

"I sat down on a stool by the island, " I didn't know my parents very well you know.."

He stored the grocery bags in a cabinet full of them then stopped, " What do you mean?"

"My father and mom weren't a part of my agency...I was only left two notes from them both. A suicide one and one full of codes," I tapped the counter out of anxiety. Did I just put a bigger target on my back?

"Where is the note Rosaleen," he leaned on the counter.

I gulped.
