The next afternoon
Ronnie was walking home by herself for the first time since they had moved to Walford her dad had picked Roxy up from school only because he was feeling guilty about going away for the weekend and leaving Roxy behind.
Ronnie stopped walking when she heard someone shouting her name. Ronnie turned around and saw her cousin Sam running after her. Ronnie stopped and waited for Sam to catch up with her.
Sam: are you coming to Claire's party tonight. Ronnie looked at Sam and nodded her head. Sam smiled widely and hugged her older cousin.
Sam: oh I can't wait it's going to be so much fun! Am surprised your dad's letting you go. Him and mum had this huge row yesterday. I don't know what it was about at first they were just arguing and then they started arguing about you and Roxy and even your mum. Ronnie looked at Sam and nodded
Ronnie: yeah well he's letting me go but if he asked Roxy is going too yeah. Sam looked at Ronnie and nodded.
Sam: where is Roxy actually going? Ronnie turned to look at Sam
Ronnie: her friends. He's only letting us stay till eleven. Well he wants us back home and ready for bed at eleven. Sam looked at Ronnie and nodded and smiled as she noticed Ricky walking towards her with Jack. Sam hugged Ronnie one more time and rushed off over to Ricky and pulled him away from Jack and started walking in the other direction. Ronnie smiled at Sam and started walking again as she turned her head and noticed Jack was walking beside her.
Jack: where's your sister. Ronnie looked at Jack and shrugged her shoulders
Ronnie: with my dad. Jack nodded and looked at Ronnie as they walked in silence. She was beautiful she had long blonde hair that went past her shoulders, she had make up on too but it wasn't too much just enough although Jack was sure she would look even better without any at all and she had the most perfect figure ever Jack smiled she really was beautiful
Jack: are you coming to the party tonight? Ronnie looked at Jack and nodded her head
Ronnie: yeah I might come for a little while. Jack smiled and nodded.
Jack: only if you can fit it into your busy schedule yeah? Ronnie looked at Jack and smiled
Ronnie: yeah something like that. Ronnie said as she noticed she was stood outside her house. Ronnie looked at Jack and smiled before turning towards the steps and was just about to walk up them when Jack spoke.
Jack: I'll see you later then gorgeous. Ronnie looked at Jack shocked did he just call her gorgeous? Ronnie looked at Jack and smiled and nodded her head before turning and running up the steps and and opening the house door and stepping inside leaving Jack at the bottom of the stairs staring after her.
Later that night Ronnie sat on the bottom of her bed brushing her hair when she heard and knock on her bedroom door and Archie pushed the door open.
Archie: right Veronica am leaving now. I'll see you on Monday afternoon. Remember no school on Monday it's a holiday. Ronnie looked at Archie and nodded her head.
Archie: everything you need is downstairs. Have a nice time tonight and look after Roxy. I'll call at eleven I want you both here understand. Ronnie nodded her head again.
Ronnie: okay we'll be here. Ronnie said smiling at her dad. Archie smiled and leant down and kissed his eldest daughter on the cheek.
Archie: behave and stay away from Peggy. Ronnie nodded and watched as he dad left the room. Waiting for a few minutes before she heard the front door slam shut. Ronnie smiled and jumped up off of her bed and rushed over to the wardrobe and flung it open she had just over two hours to get ready. Roxy flung open Ronnie's bedroom door and smiled at her sister
Roxy: there's loads of money downstairs dad said we've to spend it to go shopping tomorrow! Ronnie turned to look at her sister and shrugged her shoulders
Ronnie: what good is going shopping tomorrow when am going to a party tonight? Roxy looked at Ronnie and pulled a face she had a point but then who needs an excuse to go shopping anyway. Roxy sat down on her sisters bed and smiled
Roxy: what are you going to wear? Ronnie ignored Roxy and continued to search through her wardrobe. Ronnie shrugged and pulled out many different outfits and throwing them on to the bed next to Roxy. Roxy picked them up and stated looking through them and held out a black skirt for Ronnie to see
Roxy: I like this. You could wear it with that pink top mum bought you before she left! A few accessories and that's you done. Ronnie looked at Roxy and nodded her head and smiled and leant over and hugged her younger sister.
Ronnie: your the best.
A few hours later

Sam: where's Roxy? Ronnie looked at Sam and smiled until she noticed Sam holding a holdall
Ronnie: I just dropped her off at her mates am going to meet her at half ten that way we're both home for when dad phones ! What's in the bag? Sam looked at Ronnie and smiled before leading her over to a near buy wall and placing the bag on the wall and unzipping it. Ronnie looked inside the bag to reveal a bottle of vodka and loads of bottles of beer. Ronnie looked at Sam shocked
