"Love you too, Hemy," she screa around, I start to panic at the thought of Onyx out riding in this weather Theels on slick roadways doesn’thappened to her

I pull up to Vixens’ and drive around the whole parking lot in search of my old motorcycle My heart sinks when I don’t spot it anywhere "Dammit, Onyx! Fuck, you better be at Jade’s"

The rain doesn’t let up any as I pull back out onto the street and head over to Jade’s house I pull up in front of the house that changed my damn life If it weren’t for Jade’s birthday party then who knohen I would have seen Onyx again

I notice immediately when I pull up that the motorcycle is nowhere to be seen, but I juh the rain to the door I knock as hard as I can, losing every bit of patience I have left

As soon as the door swings open, I rush inside and look around "Is Onyx here?"

"Shit!" Without saying another word, I rush back outside and toin my pocket, I search for my phone, but come up empty Icourse!" I sla wheel and letting out an agitated breath There’s only one last place to check and this is a long shot

When I pull up to the shop, I quickly park and juging, I turn around the corner of the building and freeze when I see Onyx standing there in the rain, leaning against the building She’s soaked and more beautiful than if she were dolled up to perfection The air gets sucked froht of her and for this moment, I feel more alive than I have in years
