On the other side : Robby Keene

11. Forgive and forget

    The trio kept driving as Robby and Johnny talked softly as Trixie stared out the window. Until Robby suddenly yelled "Dad, watch out!" Johnny turned to face the front and swerved hard left to avoid a car.

Trixie grabbed on the safety handle as the car abruptly stopped as they landed in a woodsy area. "Dammit" The blonde muttered as it sunk it that they were now stranded.

The two guys got out and began to look at the car. Trixie resumed her previous spot but laying flat on her back in the backseat. Staring at the car ceiling. Her and Robby had fought before but did he really think she was annoying?
 
Trixie was pulled out her thoughts as she heard Johnny and Robby open the trunk. "Where did LaRusso hide the lug wrench?" Johnny spoke clearly desperate. Trixie didn't sit up because she truly didn't care.

She could hear them opening different parts of the car. "I lived in here remember" She heard Robby say. "Of course I remember" Johnny replied. "How did you get this car anyways?" Robby said. " I went looking for you. After you went missing me and LaRusso tried to find you. We found this hunk of junk instead". Trixie could see Robby was now leaned against the window.

She was laying on the seat and she couldn't help pull her eyes away from him. But she shouldn't cause she's mad, right? "We found a pissant driving it. We chased him to a chop shop. Ended up fighting the douchebags that stole it" Johnny added.

Since the window was cracked the blonde heard the whole speech. Growing annoyed as they were taking forever and she just wanted to get the trip over with. She rolled down the rest of the window and stuck her head out. Johnny and Robby turning to face her.

"Yeah really sweet monologue, but can we like hurry up?" Trixie said making Robby roll his eyes. "Can you like not be such an asshole?" Robby snapped. Trixies eyes shot completely open as the words left his mouth. She immediately opened the door. "I guess you won't have to deal with an asshole anymore, because I'm going home" Trixie grabbed her bag from the car and began storming down the road.

"Trixie-" Robby said as he began chasing the girl. "Screw you, Robby!" Trixie yelled continuing to walk as fast as she could when she felt someone yank her arm back. "You're not going on a bus by yourself" Robby said sternly. "Why do you even care if I'm 'such an asshole'" Trixie said with air quotes.

"Trix, you know I didn't mean that" Robby said softly. "Really? How would I know you didn't mean that because YOU said it" She said anger laced in her voice. Trixie always had trouble handling her anger. This was one of those moments. "You know what. You are incapable of being around anyone because everything is always about you. This isn't about you. It's about my dad, Miguel, and me. Your selfish"

Your selfish?
Selfish?

Selfish? The words ringed in her ears and replayed in her head. How could she ever been selfish. She thought. Everything is always about everyone else, all she does is protect everyone else. Her face turned from rage filled to sadness. Nothing had hurt her like this in a long time.

Trixie immediately turned around and continued to walk away. "Trixie, wait" Robby said regret present in the way he spoke. The blonde whipped her head around to face the brunette boy that she thought was her knight and shinning armor. "What? You didn't mean that either" She said while trying to hold in her tears, only one slipping as she wiped it away.

And then, she was gone. This time he didn't follow.

Trixie got on the next bus putting her head phones in. They were a few hours away from home so she knew the bus ride would be painful.

As the blondes phone continued to ring with texts from her favorite boy, rephrase that. Just a boy.

Robby💗:
Trixie, where are you

I'm sorry, T please

After a while Trixie stoped opening them. She was tired and kept trying to sleep. But all she could think about was how she couldn't leave Robby. He would never do that to her. No matter how upset he could be at her. She grabbed her stuff and ran to the front of the bus.

The bus driving halted at the sight of the small girl running at him. "Please take me back" The girl said. "To where?" The bus driver said confused. Not even realizing the bus was completed empty. "Wait" the blonde said whipping out her phone and dialing Robby.

Him picking up immediately. "Trixe hi, uhm where-" Robby said clearly surprised at the call. "Where are you" She said dead panning. "Uh, we're on the way to the..E-El hoy verde?" He said struggling. "Okay be there soon" The blonde said hanging up before he could answer.

The man began driving back to wherever they were going. "So why are you going, there?" He spoke. "Uh my almost boyfriends dads girlfriends son ran away to find his actual biological dad who doesn't know he exists because my boyfriends dads girlfriend left before she had him because he was some abusive asshole" Trixie said realizing how complicated this all sounded.

"Yeah... totally makes sense" The man said with a chuckle making the blonde smile softly. The rest of the ride was silent. Peaceful really. Until she finally arrived.

Robby, Johnny, and Trixie walked into a fight club of some sorts. "Look at this MMA grab-ass bullshit" Johnny said making Trixie scoff. As the scruffy blonde man walked up to two men and said "Hector the Salazar, you know him?" Making Robby's jaw drop. Trixie thought this guy was like super dangerous?

As the man just responded with Spanish none of the three understood. They continued their decent around the...boxing rink? "This shits kinda cool if you think about it" Trixie said. If she was being honest she was kinda amazed.

Robby chuckled softly at her remark. Johnny spotted Miguel pointing to the second floor as he was talking to another older man.

When they tried to continue walking three men got in their way. "Move" Johnny said sharply. "You're not getting near Hector," one of them said. Johnny still not caring tried to force his way threw. The men shoved him off them.

Something clicked in Johnny as he punched one of the men straight in the face. All the men began to join in on the fight immediately alerting Trixie and Robby. "No, guys. I got this. Just stay there." As Johnny began fighting all the men at once. It was all going Johnnys way until he got pinned in a headlock and he couldn't breathe.

Begging for help Robby reached inside his pocket and threw Johnny sort of pepper. Johnny quickly rubbed the shriveled pepper into the man's eyes which made him wince in pain. Johnny hopped to his feet and sent a fast kick towards the man.

"Do you carry spices around now?"

———

They searched the whole place and couldn't find him. Defeated the trio sat in the car. "What if we don't find him" Robby said defeated. "I don't care if we have to drive across the country, we're gonna find him" Johnny said sternly.

That was until they spotted a boy who resembled Miguel moping down the street. " Imagine if that was Miguel" Trixie said with a joking tone. But turns out it actually was Miguel. Johnny busted his door open and ran to him.

Robby and Trixie sat in silence in the car. Watching Johnny embrace the silently sobbing Miguel as the two just sat. "Trixie-" Robby said before Trixie just opened the car door and walked out. Robby hopped out of the car attempting to follow.

"Don't. I'm going on a walk" Trixie said softly. "To do what?" Robby replied. "I don't know maybe throw myself in front of some cars, see what happens" Trixie said with her usual sarcasm. Kicking a few rocks. Robby bit back a laugh.

"I want to apologize" The brunette said while is green eyes pierced into hers.

"That's too bad. I don't forgive or forget"
the blonde said continuing on her walk, alone.
