Chapter 7 ❣︎︎ Back Home!

I was so unhappy. I lay on my bed. In my old, cramped bedroom. Mom was at work. She had ciggs all over the place.

And she had beer cans all over the apartment. She wanted me to be cleaning up after her once I was out working again. Having a real job. Tears come to me. I missed my sister. I missed Cry Baby most of all.

I hated living here. No one had once called me. Made contact with me. Not a single word back home. No one missed me.

I was sure if I went back there then I was sure to be arrested. For something I did not do. I did not need to be in jail. Forever. But you would think Mona would call. Or Cry Baby to see how I was. To make sure I was safe.

But he did not want me. He did not want me to be a Drape. And I was not a Square either. I was a no one. I was me. Veronica.

A no one. I meant nothing to Cry Baby. Tears come to me. My plan failed. It all backfired on me. So horribly. I sigh as I sit back down on the couch there in my moms place. I brush back tears. I wish I never knew him. Then I would never know this heartache.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Why had I gone looking for them? Mom tried to tell me not to" I tell myself.

My heartaches deeply. I was never going to get over him. His smile. His charm. How he looked out for his loved ones. I wish he looked at me the way he once looked at Allison.

That was all I longed for. I was never ever going to get it. I had to let Cry Baby go. It was over with. Now this was my life. Here. Being home. Mom was right. I belonged here. I did not belong with them.

Crying helped some. I grab some tissue and blow my nose on tissues. I begin to clean my moms place for her as she demanded I do. It was so cramped here.

She gave me her room and she rocked the couch over night at least. But I was sure that would not be the case forever. She was sure to boot me out and make me take the couch next. As I began to clean someone knocks on the door.

Mom was not expecting anyone. Or any of her boyfriends. My heart races. I duck down making sure I was away from the peep hole. Maybe it was the cops. They were out to get me. They found me. They were going to lock me up in jail. My heart pounds in my ear.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Ronnie? I know you are there. Open up" I hear him say as he pounds on the door.

I jump.

"Veronica!" he orders.

Cry Baby!?
He was here? What was he doing here?

"I will make sure the door is down. I won't leave" he yells as he pounds on the door. "let me in Ronnie" he demands sternly.

I gasp. I rush to the door. Then open the door.

"What are you doing here? You should not be here" I snap.

♡♪♬♪♡

He takes me yanking me in his arms. And his lips fall to mine. I feel my arms go around him. Then my lips are controlled by his power. I melt into him. I missed this. I missed him so deeply. I had to stop. I pull back.

"What do you think you are doing?" I snap. "you have no right"

"Ronnie come back home" he breathlessly begs of me.

"No, the cops are after me. It is not safe" I argue. I shake my head.

He takes me by the hand. "Ronnie a lot happened since you left Turkey Point. They know it was Baldwin and he tried to frame you. The kids saw it all. They told the cops what happened. And you are free. And Baldwin is in jail along with his father. They finally got fired. No more dirty cops" he tells me. "we want you back home"

"I don't belong there or with you. I am not a Drape" I snap. "thank you though for telling me"

"You are staying here? In this hell hole?" he snaps back.

"I am not a Drape" I remind him sternly.

He takes my hands in his. Then he kisses me.

♡♪♬♪♡

"You are more then a Drape. I love you" he admits.

My heart flutters inside. Did I really hear that? Or did I hear what I wanted to?

"I love you. Come home" he begs me. "I want to you and you will be my Queen. You're my Drape. My little queenie" he teases.

"For real?" I ask as my eyes flutter open.

"Please" he begs me. "I know I was wrong. I was trying to protect you. You kept trying. I saw all you did for us. And how much you care. I can't deny you"

"For real?" I stammer again.

"Really" he adds as he nods. "come home with me. I won't leave without you"

"You have a deal. You have a Drape" I tease. "your Queen" I add.

He pulls me in his arms. "I love you so much. You could have been hurt Ronnie" he worries.

"I know. But I wanted you to see me for me. And how much I wanted this to work" I add. "I can be a Drape" I say.

"I know you can. That was never the case. We are always in and out of messes. I did not want that for you. And I know you can handle it. I just was looking out for you. I was so mad when you were with Baldwin. Hanging out with him. Letting him touch you" he grumbles.

"You?! You were jealous?" I tease.

"A little. Okay I was a lot" he laughs. "I could not take it"

I hold him close to me. "I will come home with you" I vow.

We kiss. "I love you Wade" I promise him.

♡♪♬♪♡

I could not believe it. He loved me. He accepted me as I was. He wanted me. And I was a Drape. I was going back home. To my real home. I did belong after all.

"Let's get you home" he demands.

We hold hands. Then leave the place. I would call mom later and let her know I was never coming back. I hop on the back of Cry Baby's bike.

Wrap my arms around his waistline. And we drive off into the sunset. I press my face into his back. The wind blows in my hair.

I was in love. He returned my love. It all worked out after all.
