I needed…

I needed…

Ronnie. I needed Ronnie.

With a growl, I sprinted back to the safe house.

It sat dark and empty, no sign of life in or around it. I hurried inside, straight for the hidden room.

Locking mys

elf in it, I dug my phone from my jeans pocket and woke it up.

Twenty missed calls from Ronnie. Twenty voice messages. Too many texts to count.

A hot lump filled my throat. A heavy weight, like a chunk of concrete, pressed at my chest.

I read the last text, eyes burning.

“You’re a fucking bastard, Lucas Pratt.”

An icy blade twisted in my heart. I closed my eyes, everything I was tearing apart.

“Ronnie…” I murmured. “Ronnie, I…”

I what?

“Fuck.” I pitched my cell across the small room.

It struck the wall beside the bed and fell to the mattress with a dull thud.

I stood motionless, fists balled, breath ragged. My head roared.

Fuck. Fuck, how was I to live without her? How was I—

My phone vibrated to life, its screen lighting up with an incoming message.

I threw myself at the bed, my heart racing, and snatched up my cell. The screen was shattered, a spider web of cracks almost making it impossible for me to read the message from Ronnie.

Almost impossible.

“If I didn’t love you so fucking much, I’d hate you.”

A ragged sigh tore from my throat and I slumped onto the bed.

Pulse pounding in my ears, my whole body tingling with energy I couldn’t fathom or describe, I stared at those ten words and then let out a raw groan as another message popped up onto my screen.

“I’ll see you soon, Lucas. No matter what you think you’re doing, I’ll see you soon. ’Cause I love you, and you love me, and we’re meant to be together. Got it?”

I stared at the message. I didn’t blink. I didn’t move. I just stared at the message. Read it over and over.

And over and over again.

When my lungs and eyes began to burn, I sucked in a deep breath and blinked rapidly, and then read the message again.

My thumb moved to the cracked screen.

Fuck, I shouldn’t be doing this, but I was.
