The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 200
Rooster didn't know if this was a great idea, he was still reeling from what she had told him about their unborn child. That had been the last thing he'd thought she'd tell him when he'd agreed to come here. Of course, he'd had a feeling that whatever it was, it was going to be big. This was much bigger than anything he could have ever imagined."Go ahead," Doc Jones encouraged him. "You get yours out and then we'll work through it all together. It's better to just say it, and then we can take the ramifications one by one.""I quit the sheriff's department after some things happened that I didn't agree with. When I had to go to the camp, things changed and I became the do-gooder extraordinaire of the world because that's what I had to do. For years, I was a dick to Heaven Hill and I acted like I didn't even know who Roni was. There's no doubt in my mind why she didn't tell me about all this before now. I was trying to be someone I wasn't." He ran a hand through his hair. "That's ne
The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 201
They sat in his truck, silence blanketing them for long minutes. They both fidgeted in their seats, neither one sure of what to say or how to put into words the feelings that coursed through their hearts. If either one of them were honest, they were probably in shock about the bombshells they'd both dropped. Roni finally spoke."I know the two of us have a lot to talk about. I know I handed you a blow in there, there's not been time for either of us to process the emotions we're both feeling, but right now, we have a bigger issue that needs our attention."He glanced at her, nodding his head. "Drew.""That's right." She blew out a deep breath and glanced out the window. "We've got to see what we can do to help get him out of this situation. Right now, he's not over the edge. He's on the brink, and we've got to make sure we pull him back before he does some incredibly stupid shit. I don't want him to ruin his life before he even gets it started."Rooster agreed with her. "So we
The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 202
Rooster felt awkward walking up to a teenage boy's bedroom with Tyler following close behind. If this had been a year ago, he'd think that Drew was luring him in for a beat down. Bad analogy, he knew, but he had to do something to keep from thinking too heavily about the situation at hand. The three of them made their way inside. Rooster stood with his back to the door while Tyler had a seat next to Drew on the bed. The silence was deafening as they waited for him to tell them why he had called them in on this and not his parents."You're gonna need to give us something here," Tyler told him quietly. "What the fuck is going on?"Rooster tried to look at this subjectively. Back when all this had happened with him and Liam, they were almost a full two years older than the boy who sat before them. But he couldn't deny the fact that Drew had grown up on them. His face had thinned out the last couple of months, losing the baby fat that had made him look boyish. He'd had a growth spurt a

Roni glanced out the window on the way back to her apartment, watching as the rain from a late summer thunderstorm made tracks down the glass. It had been a long day and afternoon. She hadn't wanted to drive herself home, and since she'd taken a company vehicle to Liam's, she'd left it there and let Rooster drive her home."Are you okay?" he asked softly, looking over at her in the dim light from the console on his dashboard. He was worried about her, she'd been quiet since they left Liam's and it had been an extremely emotional day for the both of them."No, I feel awful," she told him. "Mandy tried to tell me that something was wrong, and I blew her off. I even saw him get mean with her, but I couldn't worry myself enough to truly find out what was going on. What if this kid's parents decide to press charges against Drew? All this over a girl and roid rage?"He grinned, but she couldn't see it. "I've done worse over a girl before."That was true, he had, but they had been so
The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 204
Roni was afraid to move. Sunlight was shining in her eyes between the curtain and the blind, but she didn't want to ruin the romantic haze she'd been in since she'd convinced Rooster to take her on the bed of his truck. She lay in the arms of the one man who'd had her heart her whole life. She didn't want to wake him up and then have him regret everything they'd done the night before. That was her biggest fear, that they had both been blinded by the need to forget the crazy stuff that was going on in their lives. That she had been a warm body, any warm body. She was almost afraid to breathe."You don't have to worry about waking me up."The male voice was rough and full of sleep. It was what she had imagined for years it would be like. Was this how their lives would have gone? Would they have woken up like this each and every morning? Their arms and legs entwined with one another, both naked, her sore from what they had done the night before? It was almost enough to make her cry, t
The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 205
On his way back to his own apartment, a text message had come through Rooster's phone from Liam, telling him to meet him at the clubhouse ASAP. Rooster figured he wouldn't be going into the school today, doing the job that he'd been doing for a couple weeks. It was a good thing, since he was doing the walk of shame and he was already incredibly late for the day.The walk of shame. He was going to have to be honest and straight up with Liam about his relationship with Roni. This time, he wanted to do everything right, he didn't want there to ever be any misunderstood feelings, any doubt of where his head was. This time it meant too much, and he was too old to let someone tell him how to live his life. He'd done enough of that over the years.In record time, he'd gotten home, gotten changed, and was walking into the clubhouse."Where's Liam?" Rooster asked Jessica, who sat at the huge table in the commons area, laptop and notes strewn everywhere."He's in there." She hooked her t
The Heaven Hill Series Chapter 206
Two hours later, the little room was hosting its own throw-down. Liam glanced around and saw that not only Roni had joined them, but so had Jagger, B, Steele, and Christine. It was melancholy for the most part, but at the same time, it seemed to be something they all needed. Layne and Jessica were watching Steele's cave as the others relaxed for the night. Rooster had explained as best he could to everybody what he thought was going down at the school. Bianca had been shocked."I can't believe Coach Thistle has a hand in this," Bianca mumbled as she poured another shot. "Out of anybody at that school, I wouldn't have ever thought him. Even though he's the football coach, he's quiet, almost a loner. He doesn't have many friends, and when I do see or hear him talk to people besides the kids, he stumbles over his words and seems to have a hard time making sense. For him to be some sort of bad-ass steroid dealer? I just don't see where he would have the guts to pull it off.""It's beca

Meredith glanced at her phone, laughing at the message from Bianca. Apparently the night before, Liam and some of the other club members had tied one on. Meredith knew that Liam was probably trying to forget about the horrible situation his son was in, and she had heard rumblings that other things were going on. She was glad that she had taken Tatum for the night. The toddler slept on the couch beside her as she did work for the CRISIS house.Glancing over, Meredith smiled. Tatum was the perfect mixture of Liam and Denise. Her hair was dark, and as it got longer, it was starting to curl, just like Liam's did. Her face held Denise's mouth, but her blue eyes were all her daddy.As she was about to turn back to the laptop, she heard Tyler's motorcycle coming down the drive. That made her nervous. He'd been gone for right at twenty-four hours, spending time with Drew while he detoxed from the drugs he'd placed in his body.She got up from the couch, making sure that Tatum was okay be
