Bosco & Cruz Chapter 2
"Hey Cruz you still there?"
"Huh, yeah Bosco I'm still here. Do you think I could come in?"
"Ok, what the hell is going on Cruz huh? You show up at my doorstep thanking me and now you want to come in. What the hell are you doing?"
"Believe me Bosco I'm just as surprised as you are, "Cruz muttered under her breath. "Bosco please I just need to come in for a bit. Please!" she gave him her best pleading look. "Give me one good reason to let you in!"
"Just move!" Cruz pushed passed him and entered his apartment. It was a mess just as she remembered it. Cruz made her way to the couch and sat down.
" Your not invited to be here so you better make this fast because I want you out!" Bosco looked her right in the eye and she felt naked. She knew his eyes were looking in hers and they would see everything. She could never hide anything from those eyes. "I just wanted you to know that I'm sorry ok I'm sorry for everything that happened. Faith being shot, your brother Donald Man I'm just sorry. So sorry!" She almost whispered with tears in her eyes. Bosco just looked at her. She was crying he hadn't seen her do that since she held her dying sister in her arms. " I...I have to go Cruz said in a shaky voice and got up and started to walk out. As she exited the door her walk became a run and she begin to run out of the apartment, down the steps into the street.
She just ran and ran to the one place where she didn't feel alone. She knelt down at Lettie's gave and began to sob and sob. She had messed everything up so bad with Bosco, her family was gone and she was completely alone. Cruz just sat there she didn't even realize that it had begun to rain. She was to busy remembering the big dreams her and Lettie had. They often talked about their dream wedding and what the names of their kids would be. They even imagined a big white house with gables on the second for and a white fence. Right next-door to each other so they would never be apart but Lettie was dead and I'm alone so much for their dreams she thought to herself. It was raining pretty hard and she was soaked but she didn't care. " You were a good person Lettie and you died because I couldn't save you. What good is being a cop if I couldn't save the one person you love?" then she heard an answer, " You did something better! You love her unconditional and you never stopped trying to save her! In the end you did. She died in your arms where she wanted to be after everything you were still they for her."
