Lost Love

Chapter 7

Walking back into the clubhouse, Letti see us and runs right to me. "Mama." she cries as she hugs me. I hug her close and say "It's okay baby. We got you." and you can feel her sobbing against me. Coco puts his arms around us and she moves to him and he says "No one will ever hurt you again." She nods and says "I love you both." I kiss the top of her head and Coco says "We love you too Bebita."

We get her calmed down and she's laying on one of the couches with her head in my lap and I am running my fingers through her hair and she's barely said anything. Coco is at the bar talking to Angel and the Prospect comes over with some tea and says "You should try to drink this tea. Might help settle your nerves a little." he tells her. She nods and sits up and takes the cup. "Thanks." she says and takes a drink. "Thank you mano." I say and he nods. He sits on the other side of her and I stand and say "I'm going to talk to your dad." She nods and he says "I got her." I nod and head over to Coco. We look over and see him rubbing his hand up and down her back, talking to her. "Can I talk to you?" I ask and Coco nods.

Walking into our dorm, he asks "What's on your mind mi vida?" I sit on the bed and he moves to sit next to me. "She still doesn't feel safe." I tell him. "But your dad is gone." he tells me. "I know. But your mom isn't. Your mom literally hand delivered her to my dad. She knew what he was going to do to Letti." I tell him. "What are you thinking?" he asks. "Johnny, she told me you were dead and told you that I didn't want you. She let my dad force himself on our kid. How many other men did she let do that to Letti?" I ask. "I know mi amor." he says and looks at me. I look at him and say "I want her gone Johnny. You good with that?" I ask. "Fuck yeah." he tells me and kisses me hard.

We walk out to the main room and I walk over and ask "Prospect, think you can hang with Letti for a bit. We got some family business to handle." He looks at me and nods. Letti stands and asks "What are you going to do?" Coco cups her face and says "Celia is as guilty as Talia's dad was. We're going to make sure that she never does anything to you again." She nods and says "Gracias mami, papi." We kiss her forehead and walk out the door. We get to the car and see Angel walking up. "What's up?" I ask. "Going with. You're my sister and he's my brother. You ain't doing this shit alone." he tells us and I hug him. "Thank you Mano." I say and we all get into the car and head out.

An hour later, the three of us are pulling up in the desert, the same place we buried my mom. I look at Coco and he says "They separated us together. Only right we bury them together." he tells me. Kissing him softly I say "Let's do this." The three of us start digging the grave and once it's done, Coco and Angel head to the trunk to get Celia out and she's still tied up. They bring her out in front of me and toss her to the ground. "Coco, let me go." she tells him. "Shut the fuck up." Angel tells her and she looks at him shocked. I step forward and start to speak. "You are something else, Celia. First you tell me my husband is dead when he isn't. Then you treat Letti like shit and then to find out that you were letting Richard Roberts rape Letti." I tell her. "How do you know him?" she asks. "Oh, you didn't know? He's my father. Or was? Yeah. Was." I say. "Was?" she asks. "Yep. You see, my mom sold me and when Johnny found me, we killed her. My father was raping our little girl so we killed him. Since you told me that my husband was dead and you basically rented our little girl out to be raped, it's only fair that you die too. But good news is, since you and my mom were such good friends, helping each other separate us, you get to be buried with her." I tell her. Angel and Coco stand her up and carry her over to the grave. It's the same one that mom is buried in. Tossing her in, she starts to scream when she realizes my mom's dead body is next to her. "Shut this whore up already." Angel says. "Gladly." Coco says before putting a bullet in her head, killing her.

After we bury her, we are on our way back to the clubhouse and I ask Coco "Are you okay Johnny?" He looks at me and smile softly and says "Si mi vida. You know how amazing you are? Since the minute you met Letti you've been an amazing mom." he tells me. "She's our kid. Period." I tell him and he smiles.

Walking into the clubhouse, we walk over to Letti and she looks up at us. We walk over and I nod and she starts sobbing again but you can tell this time it's relief. I sit beside her and see the prospect has his fingers laced with Letti's giving her comfort and I can't help but smile. I stand and ask the prospect "Can I get a word?" He nods and Coco moves to sit beside her. We move to the side and I ask "You care about her don't you?" He nods and says "I know she just turned eighteen but she's smart and kind. I need someone in my life that's not distorted on what someone should be." he tells me. "I'll talk to Coco but you better be good to her. Be patient. Turns out Celia was letting men pay to rape her." I tell him and he stiffens. "They are both handled." I tell him and he nods. "I got her." he tells me and I hug him. "You have my blessing mano." I tell him and he smiles softly. Walking back over to Coco and Letti, I sit beside her and EZ kneels down in front of her "I won't let anything happen to you Letti." he tells her. "I know." she says as she reaches forward and cups his face. "You into my kid?" Coco asks. "I got your blessing?" he asks. "Yeah. You do mano." Coco says and I can't help but smile. EZ leans forward and kisses her lips and she nods slightly agreeing to being to being with him.
