Chapter 6 ❣︎︎ Baldwin!

I hoped to make contact with someone in the gang about where the missing instruments were located at. That way Cry Baby would still be able to conduct his show.

And then Baldwin would not win. I had let Suzie Q spot me. And now they knew I had been with the Wiffles to steal their items. It would be a matter of time when Cry Baby and his Drapes came snooping around here looking for answers.

The sooner the better to. I hoped Cry Baby would get his instruments back. And the show would go on. The Wiffles would go to jail for stealing things that did not belong to them.

And Cry Baby would see all that I had done for him. He would make me a Drape in no time flat. I could hardly wait!

I hum a song that was in my head as I go outside to sneak a cigg before Baldwin caught me smoking. He hated it when I smoked. It was not easy to quit smoking though. He had to understand that. He had to give me more time to quit smoking. I was not a perfect person.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Ronnie where are you girl?" Baldwin calls to me.

I quickly wave the snoke air away with my hand then throw the rest of the cigg to the floor snuffing it out with my foot and hiding it in the grass.

"Here, I am Baldwin" I call back to him.

"Hey baby come here. We are making a list of all the items we have here. Come double check them with me please" he orders to me.

I follow him back in his shed. Garage thingy.
I look over the list with him. Then I spot a Wiffle, locks the door suddenly.

"What is going on Baldwin?" I demand to know.

"So, you know we do trust you Ronnie. But we do not trust in Cry Baby. We do not want you to go squealing to him and tell him where the instruments are. I am not dumb Ronnie. And you will be tempted to" he warns me as he crosses his arms.

"What are you talking about Baldwin? I would never do such a thing" I scoff. He was onto me. Lovely.

"You and I know that is not true. I heard what they were saying. Cry Baby wants you back home. Secretly I think you want him to do a little more begging. And you will give these up. I will make sure he does not make his rent this month. And I will make sure they all get kicked out of Turkey Point! The drapes will all be on the streets. And Turkey Point will belong to the Wiffles" he laughs with an evil sound in his throat.

A chill washes over me.

"You can't leave me locked up" I demand as I cross my arms. "I will not go to Cry Baby! You can trust me Baldwin" I beg of him.

"No Ronnie in time. But for now, you will wait in here" he demands. "I put a cot in the corner there for you to get a good nights rest. And a book. Enjoy" he laughs.

He and the Wiffles leave me locked in the garage there.

"Damn it all" I sigh.

This plan backfired on me.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Ronnie?" someone speaks up. I glance out the window of the garage door to the side there.

I peak down and spot Susie there with her brother.

Thank heavens!

"Susie Q I am in trouble! Get my sister! And Milton! I am locked in here!" I beg her.

"Okay Ronnie" she answers me.

They rush out of there.

I sigh. I was saved. Thank heavens. Then they could all get their instruments back.

Before I know it there is a siren going off.

♡♪♬♪♡

"There she is. And there is the missing instruments officer! This chick was snooping around Turkey Point. And she took them. I saw her. She is in there" I hear Baldwin telling a police officer.

I had to get out of there.

Fast. I notice a window open. I climb up on the shelf and get to the window. I manage to shimmy my way into the window and hop out of there.

"Hey, she is getting away!" calls out a Wiffle.

Baldwin betrayed me. Making me look like I stole the goods. And he was the one who wanted to go out to Turkey Point and steal them. I hear sirens after me. I run as fast as I could go.

I ran and ran into town until I lost the cops. I was not sure where I was even at soon enough. I hid out in the local cemetery there. My heart was racing. The night was coming. I shiver. Baldwin knew what I was up to. That was why he was giving me up to the cops.

He betrayed me.

Would Cry Baby even care to come get me out here? Were the cops still looking for me?

Tears burn in the corners of my eyes. I was so lost. I was not a Square as I thought I was. I was never going to be a Drape.

I did not fit in. Maybe it was time for me to leave this town. And go back home. To a home where I did not belong there. Where my mother resented me for being alive in the first place.

I walk as far as I could. My legs soon grow tired. I find a pay phone. I call my mom.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Mom!" I softly say.

"How are things? Did your dad kick you out already?" she laughs.

"Mom I never met dad. He was already dead. I was living with my half sister here. Mona" I tell her.

"What is it you need?" she demands to know.

"I got myself into a mess. I need to come home. Can you send me a taxi? I will never come back here again" I swear to her. "I will live by your rules. I will listen to you" I beg of her.

"I suppose. Give me the address. I will pay your fairs once the taxi gets back home here" she offers.

"Right. Thanks mom. I owe you one. I will never come back to Turkey Point again. I don't belong here" I say with tears in my eyes.

"It is about time you saw that. I tried to tell you" she laughs.

"I know now. I do not belong here. See you soon" I tell her. We hang up.

I hated it back home. But that was where I should be. Tears come to me.

"Goodbye, Turkey Point. Goodbye, Cry Baby. I will always love you" I say as I wipe the tears from my eyes.

Soon the taxi arrives. Then I am whisked back home.

A home that I hated. But a home where I belonged.
