Ronnie, Kamrin, and I all go back to our cars in confusion and concern.

Nobody knows where George would have gone because nobody talked to him recently and wouldn't know anything about his recent interactions with anyone.

"Did you guys find him." Marcus asks with a concerned look on his face.

"No." Ronnie says. "The whole house is empty, nobody was there."

"Does anyone know where he might be?" I ask everyone thinking of a place he might be myself.

"I think I might know a place he might be." Ronnie replies.

Kamrin and I get into her car and Ronnie gets back into his. We follow him down to the high school and get out of our cars as Ronnie leads us up to the stadium. We walk out onto the football field and into the stands.

There he was. George was just sitting there. Looking out onto the field.

"Told you he would be here." Ronnie says with a smirk as he walks up the steps to the stadium.

Marcus, Kamrin, Mason, and I all follow behind him up the steps, into the stands where George is sitting.

George looks directly at Ronnie coming towards him and he immediately stands up.

"What the hell are you doing here?" George says to Ronnie in a pissed off tone. "I thought I told you I didn't to talk with you anymore."

Everyone freezes.

Everyone except for Ronnie and George. Kamrin and I turn and look at each other with confusion and suspense. We have no clue what is going on.

Ronnie stops walking towards George and I can tell Ronnie's starting to get pissed.

"I thought we were done with this whole thing." Ronnie says with a heavy tone in his voice like he's trying to hold back the urge to yell at him.

"You know what the hell you did." George says. "And I can't forgive you for it."

Kamrin walks up to Ronnie and slightly grabs his arm and calmly asks. "Ron, what is he talking about? You can tell me."

"We should probably go." He returns. "This was a bad idea."

Ronnie and Kamrin went to walk out of the stadium and the rest of us were going to turn out as well. When George walks over Ronnie and grabs his shoulder tightly and pulls him back.

"This is so typical of you. Whenever something happens and it's too hard for you to deal with, you blow it off like it never happened."

Ronnie tenses up and closes his fists tightly.

"That's probably why Stephanie cheated on you because she was tired of your bullshit and didn't want to deal with you anymore." George says as he shoves Ronnie towards the crowd of people behind him.

Ronnie clenches his fists even tighter and turns around for a split second then, out of nowhere he turns right back to George, throws his arm back and punches George square in the face, hitting the bridge of his nose.

George falls back a bit and his nose starts to bleed. Ronnie walks over to him and grabs him by the collar of his shirt.

"Don't ever talk about my problems when you don't even know the half of it, and don't EVER fucking say that what happened between me and Stephanie was MY fault. Do you fucking understand?. Because the next time you do, you're gonna need a damn ambulance after what I do to you."

And with that, Ronnie let's go of George's shirt and walks off, with George's blood stained on his knuckles and more pissed off then ever seen him.

The group starts walking to the cars in the parking lot but I stand there for a moment. Watching George walk off away from the rest of us. I start to think, how did this happen? Why did it happen? Then once George finally leaves the stadium and starts to head down the steps. I start to follow the rest of the group back to the cars.

***
I catch up to the group and walk past everyone until I finally catch up with Ronnie. I stop him from getting into his car by blocking the door and he tries to move me out of the way but I push him back.

"Why the hell did you punch him?! What happened back there?!?" I say as I try to get him to respond.

He tries move past me again and I shove him back once more.

"It's really none of your damn business so move away from the car." Ronnie tells me with a stern look in his eyes.

"No! Is all that shit he said true? It's not that damn hard just fucking tell me already..."

He slams his fist down on the roof of the car and it startles me a bit.

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU IT'S NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS NOW MOVE AWAY FROM THE DAMN CAR LILY!"

I shove him back a third and final time before I move  away from the car door. I walk past Kamrin and open the door to my side of her car. She gets in a few seconds after I do.

"Are you okay." She asks concerned

"I'm FINE, just...drive."

The car ride back to her house was silent. Not even the radio was on and when her car finally pulls into her driveway, I try to open the door but she immediately locks it.

I sit back in my seat and just sit there in silence.

"So..." Kamrin says. "You're definitely not fine and you're not leaving this car until you tell me what all that was about."

I look over at her and then at the ground. Then I finally quit being stubborn and tell her.

"I just don't understand why George was so pissed at Ronnie. Part of me wanted to follow George and ask him what the deal was between the two of them but at the same time I thought I'd be able to just get it out of Ronnie because me and him are closer than me and George. But, instead I got yelled at and pushed off to the side. Fucking Jackass."

Kamrin looks at me solemnly and grabs my shoulder affectionately.

"He is a Jackass and he's got a lot of things to deal with. Hopefully when he's ready he'll tell us what's up okay."

"Okay, maybe you should try and talk to him." I say with a smirk.

"Why do you say that?" Kamrin asks with a confused smile.

"Come on Kamrin it's obvious that Roni likes you." I say with a sly smirk as I walk into her house.

She laughs and walks into the house. We get settled and hang out in her room for a while and then she soon falls asleep.

I was still awake because something didn't sit well with me. Did George and Stephanie have a secret relationship while she was dating Ronnie? Or was he just a really close friend she confined in? Whichever one it was, I was determined to figure it out. Which is why I snuck out of Kamrin's window and drove to George's house to find out what he's hiding.
