Chainsmoking your Love

Save that Shit

it was a cloudy Friday afternoon, the school had just been let out and one Ronnie Anne Santiago was walking down the sidewalk. She wasn't doing anything, she wasn't listening to music, she wasn't even on her phone, no, she was just thinking. Thinking about how she had messed up. How she messed up her chances with Lincoln. Even if she was figuring things out she should have been there for him, she should have consoled him and told him that everything was going to be ok if only she could take it back. She hated thinking about this, part of her didn't want anything to do with Lincoln, he was the one that broke her heart, but a much larger part of her told her that it wasn't right to be mad at Lincoln, he had every right to be mad after all. He had been alone with so many problems, so many problems that he couldn't or wouldn't tell anyone about, but she knew that he couldn't hold in all his anger, all his sadness, no one could hold that all in for long, one way or another, those feelings and emotions would come out. Ronnie Anne knew things had become much more complicated than they were before. She had also been worrying about how things would end up between Bobby and Lori.

For the past couple of days, Lori had seemed more relaxed then she has been, hell it was odd, she wouldn't even stress over if someone had gotten more likes on swiftypic. It was very odd behavior for the girl, and Ronnie knew her well. Bobby... well, he was handling things as best as he could, but he still couldn't make conversation with Lori, he had just been wondering about the situation. She hoped that things got better soon because, in just two days, the two siblings were leaving to go back home.

Ronnie continued walking until she tripped in a piece of the sidewalk that was protruding slightly up. she hit her left elbow hard as soon as she fell and brief pain surged through it and she swore under her breath.

"Oi! you alright!?" Came a voice

Ronnie Anne looked up and saw the last person she wanted to see. Tabby was standing a foot away from her. Ronnie had seen her and Lincoln holding hands when she saw them at the school or walking home. Tabby had also been told about Ronnie Anne and knew she was the one who ignored Lincoln as well as gave him a black eye. As soon as Tabby saw that it was Ronnie Anne, her demeanor slightly changed from concern to annoyance.

"Oh it's you," Tabby said, the venom in her voice was clear

Ronnie Anne got up with a groan and didn't take Tabby's hand and began to get up herself. Tabby rolled her eyes and she walked past Ronnie. Ronnie looked back and watched as Tabby walked away, She had felt a bit of anger at the girl, she was the one who was with Lincoln, she was the one making Lincoln happy... and it wasn't her. Ronnie Anne needed to know, she needed to know why after everything Lincoln and she had been through, she had chosen her, someone he barley started hanging out with. What made them different?

"WAIT!" cried Ronnie Anne

Tabby stopped and turned to look at her. They stood there for a few seconds and Ronnie Anne took a deep breath.

"Can we talk?" Ronnie Anne asked

Tabby eyed her with suspicion but decided that maybe it was time for them to talk. They were in love with the same boy after all. Tabby nodded and Ronnie Anne walked up next to her as they walked.

"so, what do you wanna know?" Tabby asked

Ronnie looked at the ground for a few seconds before turning her head to Tabby, "I wanted to know why he chose you" Ronnie Anne asked "I don't mean to sound like a bitch but I just wanna know... why? what makes you different from me?" Ronnie asked

Tabby understood the question clearly and she too uses to ask the same question. Why had Lincoln agreed to be her boyfriend when they only began knowing each other for two weeks, however, tabby had actually found out why everything Lincoln told him about her allowed Tabby to understand what made them different.
