Obvious

Chapter One

"Sammy!" Ronnie screamed from my side. She rushed towards the young girl's outstretched arms. Sammy was much different than Ronnie. A bit shorter, bleached blonde hair, a California tan that any girl would be jealous of and wait...what was that? Sammy pulled her arms away from her sister, her shirt falling back down to her hips. I could have sworn I saw a tattoo just above her left hip.

"How are you?!" Ronnie screamed.

"You're glowing Ronnie!" Neither one answering the other's questions. It was in this moment that I realized I shouldn't have volunteered to take Ronnie to the airport to pick up her sister. This was a girl moment at it's extreme.

Suddenly they were walking towards me, a cold sweat breaking out in my palms, my mouth dry instantly as I tried to think of any word to say to Ronnie's sister.

"This is Jorel." Ronnie pointed to me. "He's one of Jordon's friends."

"Hollywood Undead. I recognize you. J-Dog." She knew who I was. "Kind of quiet in person though."

I still hadn't said anything. I couldn't think of anything to say.

"What's the matter? Dog got your tongue?" Her feeble attempts at a joke.

I said the first thing that blurted out of my mouth. "Where have you been all this time?"

The smile dropped quickly from her mouth. She knew what I was asking. Something thy had been burning at the back of my mind for quite some time. Why hadn't she shown up when Ronnie had gone missing? Not even so much as a phone call that I was aware of.

"I was out of the country. Believe me I was upset when I learned of my sister's disappearance. It's a little difficult to just drop everything you are doing in Africa and jump on the next flight out. I did manage to get a phone call out to Danny after u learned what had happened. And while my sister has told me quite a bit about you. I can honestly tell you that I've learned more about you guys through that simple phone call with Danny. So watch it." Her words sharp.

I wanted to apologize, I didn't mean any of it. I just couldn't control any coherent speech patterns. Ronnie jumped in. "Hey, it's ok. I know my sister was off saving the world and what not. How was Africa by the way?"

I followed them through the airport and down the escalator towards baggage claim. I listened intently as Sammy told both of is about the children she took care of while there. One special little boy even calling her mom.

"He was the hardest one to say goodbye to. Told him is come back as soon as I could. I just hope he's still there when I do go back."

"You always did have a soft spot for children. I hope one day when Jordon and I decide to start a family that it rubs off on me."

"I'm sure you just haven't awakened that part if you. Once you feel your baby kick inside of you, it'll all just fall into place for you. No need to worry. So tell me, have you guys talked about having kids yet?"

I tuned out the rest of the conversation. Truth was, I still didn't want to hear anything about it. I cared a lot for Ronnie; I had learned it wasn't love, but that still don't mean I needed to eat the most intimate details of her private life. It was still just too hard. It was only a few months ago that Aron had tried to kill her. Everyone's emotions were still mixed up and fucked up. And now Ronnie's sister was here. And I had no idea if Ronnie had mentioned anything about the details of her disappearance or the fact that our former singer had been behind the whole thing. But or some reason I couldn't get the image of Sammy's tattoo out of my mind!
