All Or Nothing

Ms Ronnie

•RONNIES POINT OF VIEW•

Later that day I met up with Andy and we sat in red lobster to eat "Wait so your telling me you think John had something to do with us getting caught up?" She says as she eats her shrimp "Yeah I'm just saying what if he did..." I say taking a sip of my water. "I don't know Ronnie... that sounds really strange." She says looking up at me.

"I know I know , I'm probably just tripping" I say cracking open a crab leg "I mean I do think it's weird we've been using the same system since 11th grade and never got caught up till now... and remember the last time he almost got a us - I'm just saying what if he's really the reason all of this happened." I say chewing my food.

She stops eating and looks at me "What?" I say shrugging my shoulders as my leg bounces "Ronnie aren't you the one who found the company in the first place?" She says looking at me "Yes but he handled the details Andy , shit are you listening to me?!" I say getting a little louder "Yes of course I'm listening to you but I don't have to agree with you - actually I don't agree , if you wouldn't have left that night by yourself we could've made sure he was dead" she says leaning in whispering to me.

I lean back and roll my eyes "Okay I get it , y'all wanna keep blaming me but let's not dare bring up the fact John had everything to do with this just as me!" I say a little too loud , people start to turn they're heads and look towards our table "Jesus Ronnie stop talking so loud!" She says putting my arm up and facing her head towards the window .

"Sorry but I'm tired of feeling like everyone's blaming me for this when I'm not the only one who plotted something that night , do you know how hard it is for me having to deal with the fact I killed my dad and made my brother critically ill" I say taking a deep breath. She puts her hand on mines and squeezes it "Listen to me , everything is alright we got you , your not in this alone" she says as she slides her hand away.

"Can I get you lady's anything else?" The waitress said Andy looks at me I shake my head no "That's all for today" she says giving the waitress a smile. "Okay I'll be right back with your receipt" she says as she quickly walks away. "So where have you been staying since you been out here?" She says looking at me I look away at some couple dinning together.

"Shit everywhere" I say chuckling "come stay with me and JM" she says looking at me and we both laugh "Nah it's okay I'll probably just get a hotel I don't wanna be around Johns gang , I truly don't like Ghost" I say rolling my eyes. She looks at me and fixes her jacket "Yeah I know you don't johns right tho , she's gonna keep us safe while we out here" Andy says .

I look at her like she got two heads "Do you hear yourself Andy I mean like seriously do u hear yourself!" I say shaking my head at her "Bro I've been thinking about joining John and her" she says looking down at her hands .

I lean over to touch her forehead "Are you okay? Are you catching a cold?" I say leaning back in my seat "No I'm just saying , I think you should join us" she says taking a sip of her drink. "Heres you receipt" the waitress says as she walks away I take my cash out but Andy already put enough down. We both get up from the table and head out the restaurant.

"I'm not joining that gang and please don't you either!" I say as we walk over to our cars "Maybe if you sit down with ghost you can see what I do.. I mean she's real cool peoples Ron , I think you'd like her" she says "I won't" I say as we reach our cars.

"Alright well I'll think about not joining if you think about staying with me and John for a few days" she says setting her food on top of her truck . "I'll think about it Andy" I say smiling at her , she gives me a smile back when my phone suddenly starts to ring I pull it out seeing it was Cyrus and I roll my eyes .

"Okay I'll talk to you later love you!" Andy says as she gets into her car she rolls the window down ."I'm gonna text you my number" she says "Okay love you too be safe" I say waving bye to her I go back to my phone seeing Cyrus still was calling me and I swipe over to answer the call.

"What?" I say as I get into my car starting it up "I want my key back hoe!" She say's , clearly she's still worked up about this morning. "Okay bitch I'll drop it off" I say matching her energy- I put my food on the passenger seat "I'm not home right now meet me somewhere" she says.

"Like where?" I say yawning "How bout that same park you was at with ghost!" she snaps at me
"Okay see ya soon" I say getting smart and hanging up the phone. I type the address in on the GPS and head out the red lobster parking lot.

As I'm driving I come to a stop sign, I look across the street and see Willow coming out of the pharmacy with bandages wrapped around her leg and head. I check both ways before I drive over to her . She's walking to her car when I pull up , I quickly roll my window down "Willow?" I shout and she turns her head around , when she notices me she looked upset and tried to hide her face .

I pull my car closer to hers so that I'm blocking her from leaving . I jump out the car and walk over to her "Oh hey Ronnie.." she says putting her head down "Hey.. What happened-are you okay?" I ask
Looking at her concerned "Oh this it's nothing I just fell down the steps that's all- I'm a little clumsy" she says giving me a small smile.

I shoot her one back "How'd you fall?" I say walking closer to her touching her face , I move her face side to side noticing a few bruises being covered by makeup I noticed one of her Locs was missing and I realized these marks were from someone. "Can I see you later ?" I ask looking her in her eyes she smiles at me "I got my friends staying over tonight" she says as her smile fades... "Maybe another time then?" I say giving her a quick smile.

"Yes another time , I'd love to take you up on that offer" she says "Are you sure your okay..?" I genuinely ask hoping she's tell me the truth so I can beat whoever did this the fuck up. "Yeah I'm okay Ronnie , thank you for checking up on me" she says as she leans in to give me a hug , I wrap my arms around her and she moans out in pain "Im so sorry" I quickly say .

She lets me go and holds her back "I hit my back that's all" she say as her face scrunches up from the pain. "That's why I got these" she say shaking the bag of pills she got "I hope it's not Percs in there" I say jokingly and she laughs with me "Nah just some Advil and some bandages and stuff" she says and I look down at her leg "You shouldn't be driving with your leg all messed up" I say pointing to leg with the bandage around it.

She looks down and smiles "Had to get my things" she says looking up at me I smile back at her "Listen if you need anything and I mean ANYTHING AT ALL call me - you got my number" I say walking backwards to my car "Will do Ms Ronnie" she says smiling and unlocking her car . I get back in mines and get back on the road to go meet Cyrus.
