Through Ronnie's eyes – Part One
(Including Rack)
This is an Eastenders fan fiction story.
This story involves the Mitchell family and various other characters they are or become involved with (including RACK) it is mainly based from Ronnie Mitchell's view as I think she is the most interesting Mitchell character at the moment.
Please enjoy...
It was Friday night at the Queen Vic and the pub had just shut for the night, the phone started ringing.
"Phil! PHIL! Get the phone!" Ronnie shouted.
"You get it if you're so fussed." Phil said, comfortably propping his feet on to the coffee table.
"Fine then!"
Ronnie got up in a Hough and went to answer the phone.
"Hello?" Ronnie snapped.
"Oh hello Ronnie its Peggy, I was hoping to speak to Phil, is he there?"
"Oh, yeah I'll just get him for you. PHIL!!"
"What do you want now?" Phil said impatiently.
"Aunty Peg's on the phone, she wants to speak to you."
"Oh ok."
Ronnie hands Phil the phone.
"Mum?"
"Hello Phil, I was just ringing to tell you that I'm coming home tomorrow, so make sure the house is clean."
"Fine, anything else?" Drawled Phil.
"Um, yeah there is actually, Archie is coming with me; he's going to stay with us."
There was a short, uneasy silence.
"Archie? Are you sure about this?" Replied Phil.
"Of course! I've never been so sure of anything darlin'."
"Ronnie's not going to be too thrilled about this mum."
"Things will settle down eventually, they've got to….anyway I've got to go love, I'll see you tomorrow, give Ronnie my love."
"Ok, bye mum."
Phil put the phone down and slumped back down on to the sofa.
"What was all that about?" Ronnie asked.
" Nothing important, mum just wanted to make sure the pub was clean because she's coming back tomorrow." Phil replied.
"Tomorrow? Did she say anything about my dad?"
"Um." Phil hesitated. "He's coming to stay for a while apparently."
"WHAT?!" Ronnie shouted.
"Why can't you just be happy for her? She's clearly happy with your dad." Said Phil.
"Yeah? Well she doesn't know what he's really like! He's your dad's brother after all."
"She's a grown woman, she knows what she's doing, just get over it."
Ronnie glared at Phil with a piercing stare, then turned around and stalked off to her bedroom.
(Ronnie thinks) "I can't believe he has the nerve to come back here; I just want him out of mine and Roxie's lives for good! And I wish Tanya would keep out of mine and Maxes business, it's not like anything's going on between us….."
And with that last thought she put her head on the pillow and was asleep within seconds.
9 hours later…..
BANG!!
Ronnie woke with a start.
"What the hell was that?"
She pulled her dressing gown on and ran out of her room to see where the noise had come from.
"Phil! What the heck are you doing?" Ronnie snapped.
"I was trying to clean the fridge and it fell over, oh no! I think the doors broken." Replied Phil.
"The fridge?! Why an earth were you trying to clean it for?" Exclaimed Ronnie.
"Because mums coming back today and Ricky left something in it."
"What do you mean something?" Said Ronnie questioningly.
"I think it was a sandwich, but it seems to have grown in to a pile of blue mould, mums going to have kittens when she sees the mess."
"That still doesn't explain how you managed to knock it over, just get it up and leave it." Ronnie said impatiently.
"Well why can't you clean it?" Asked Phil.
"I've got things to do Phil, why don't you ask Ricky, it was his sandwich."
And with that she turned on her heel and headed to the bathroom.
Half an hour later…
She was ready to go out on a jog of the square but she barely got three metres out of the door when….
"Oi Ronnie!" Shouted an angry looking Jack Branning.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you have to tell her for?" He asked.
"Tell who what?" Replied Ronnie.
"Tanya! You told her about Penny and now she thinks I've been lying to her!"
Ronnie stared defiantly in to Jacks angry eyes.
"She kept lecturing me about Max, as if there's really anything going on between me and him! I had to say something to make her shut up."
"Yeah well thanks a lot!"
He walks off angrily.
"Jack! JACK!" Called Ronnie.
"Just leave me alone Ronnie!" Jack retorted.
(Ronnie thinks) "This day is not going well at all…."
Meanwhile at the airport….
"Home sweet home." Said a satisfied Archie.
"Yeah good old London, I really hope Phil's ok with this you know." Replied Peggy.
"If he loves you then he'll be happy for you and me."
"Yeah but this has all been a bit quick, it might catch him off guard."
"Trust me darlin' it'll all be fine! We have each other after all."
"I hope so Archie, I hope so….."
Will Ronnie's day improve? And how will she take her dads arrival?
