It was a couple of weeks later and Ronnie and Roxy were really busy with the club. Well, maybe more Ronnie than Roxy. She never understood the importance of being organised. Ronnie had spent the whole week sorting everything out for the opening. She was busy with deliveries and she just felt like Roxy was faffing about.
After an argument with Roxy, Ronnie went to walk away and tripped over a bar on the floor. She fell over it and landed on her wrist. Roxy thought she was joking but Ronnie knew she needed to go the hospital.
At the hospital Roxy flirted her way through the assessment and prognosis before Ronnie was given painkillers and allowed to go home.
They arrived home and Ronnie was not in a good mood. She was sat in the living room when her daughters came through the door. Lottie first and Libby behind. Lottie noticed her mum's wrist instantly and ran over to the woman.
"Mum what have you done? Are you okay?" Lottie asked concerned.
"I am thank you. If your aunt was actually helping this might have not happened" Ronnie said having a dig at Roxy. Roxy rolled her eyes.
"So how was school?" Ronnie asked.
"Fine, I'm going to Ryan's later" Lottie said seeming a little nervous.
"Is something up?" Ronnie asked and Lottie bit her lip.
"Do you want a word?" Ronnie asked and Lottie nodded.
"Come on then" Ronnie said standing up and putting her free arm around her daughter.
"What's that about?" Libby asked and Roxy shrugged.
"Why do they always leave me out" Libby huffed.
"They don't" Roxy said "It's just important that when you get to Lottie's age that you speak to someone about things" Roxy said not wanting to say too much.
"Speak about what?" Libby asked not willing to leave it at that.
"Because she has a boyfriend and grown up things" Roxy said.
"What like sex?" Libby said.
"Maybe I don't know" Roxy said.
"Well I've had sex and mum doesn't speak to me about it" Libby said.
"You did not need to say that. What you did is not something to be proud of. Now if you just did that because you are jealous perhaps you should think how Lottie felt when you always got all the attention" Roxy asked angry with her niece. Libby froze.
"Roxy, no I'm sorry please don't be mad. I'm sorry" Libby said as she grabbed onto her aunt. Roxy was shocked by the sudden turn.
"Calm down. I'm not going anywhere" Roxy said pulling her niece into her arms.
"What's going on ay?" Roxy said. Libby didn't say anything. She just shrugged.
"Come you, you know that I have random mean outbursts. I don't mean it" Roxy said "You never respond like this though"
"Because everyone is always huffing with me and I don't know what's going on just now" Libby cried. Roxy nodded and continued to cuddle her niece. She guessed the girl was becoming more hormonal than her and Ronnie had noticed.
Meanwhile in Ronnie's bedroom she was sat on the bed with her daughter next to her.
"What's up?" Ronnie asked softly.
"It's just that I feel that Ryan wants us to do stuff tonight" Lottie said nervously.
"What type of stuff" Ronnie asked.
"Well he kind of found out I'm on the pill and I think now he wants to sleep with me" Lottie explained.
"What did you say when he found it?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shrugged.
"I just said you thought it was a good idea and that it might help my skin and stuff" Lottie said and Ronnie nodded.
"Well it is all your choice. How you ever done anything with him other than kiss?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shrugged.
"He's like touched my boob but that's it" Lottie said.
"Honestly because of both your ages I'd say you need to do more before moving onto have sex especially for the first time" Ronnie explained and Lottie nodded.
"No matter what do not let him pressurise you" Ronnie said and Lottie nodded.
"Mum, honestly I know" Lottie said and Ronnie nodded.
They spoke for a bit longer before Lottie left to go to Ryan's. Ronnie walked into the living room and noticed her youngest daughter sleeping on Roxy.
"What's up with her?" Ronnie asked as she sat down and took her daughter into her arms.
"She just seemed really hormonal" Roxy said.
"She's only 11" Ronnie said and Roxy shrugged.
"She was being dramatic" Roxy said and Ronnie laughed.
"That's my Libsters" Ronnie said wiping the hair from the girl's face.
"What was it all about with Lottie?" Roxy asked while not trying to be too noisy.
"She's just trying to grow up too quickly" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded.
"She's a good girl, she knows what she is doing" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"I've spoken to her so much. I just hope she doesn't make the same mistake that I did" Ronnie said.
"She won't you have put so many procedures in place to ensure that doesn't happen" Roxy said and Ronnie nodded.
"I just want my little girl to be okay" Ronnie said letting tears drift down her face.
"She will be" Roxy said hugging her sister. Ronnie nodded.
"Shall we go and help Auntie Peg" Roxy said wanting to remove the tension.
"I don't know what I can do" Ronnie said laughing.
"Well you can take orders and do it one handed" Roxy said and Ronnie laughed. They moved Libby softly before heading down the stairs. Ronnie was glad that she could work so that she could keep her mind off Lottie. She didn't want to think about what her daughter might be doing but she didn't want the girl to get hurt. She was glad that Lottie had told her what was going on.
They continued to work into the evening and Ronnie heard the back door close. She lasted not even 5 minutes after that before Peggy excused her.
"Ronnie, up you go. You aren't paying any attention because you want to see your daughter so go" Peggy said and Ronnie looked around. It was quiet and she just wanted to see Lottie. She needed to check the girl was okay.
"Lots" Ronnie said as she ran up the stairs. She knew it was late and guessed the girl might have gone to bed to get changed.
"Can I come in?" Ronnie asked knocking on the door.
"Yeah" a voice said and Ronnie opened the door.
"Everything okay?" Ronnie asked and Lottie nodded.
"Do you want to speak about anything?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shook her head. She couldn't speak to her mum. She had no idea how she was feeling, she was embarrassed and confused.
Ronnie didn't know what to do. She froze. She just walked out the room and down the stairs. She wouldn't dare push her daughter. The second her daughter rejected her, Ronnie's walls went back up. She didn't know what to do.
Wandering down the stairs, she bumped into Roxy who looked confused to see her sister coming down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Roxy asked.
"Lottie doesn't need me" Ronnie said.
"Did you speak to her" Roxy asked.
"She doesn't want to speak to me" Ronnie said.
"Did you push her?" Roxy asked and Ronnie shook her head before just walking passed. Roxy was concerned. She walked up to her sister's bedroom and knocked on the door. She walked into her niece with tears streaming down her face.
"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?" Roxy asked pulling the girl instantly into her arms.
"nothing, it's all fine" Lottie said.
"So why are you crying then?" Roxy asked.
"It doesn't matter" Lottie said.
"Well remember you can talk to me you know" Roxy said and Lottie nodded.
"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep" Lottie asked and Roxy nodded.
"Of course" She said pulling the girl into her arms and lying down. She knew this should be her sister but she couldn't leave the girl now. It didn't take Lottie long to fall asleep and Roxy softly moved away from the girl. Roxy walked back down the stairs to help her aunt and sister.
"Everything okay?" Ronnie asked. Roxy shrugged.
"Your daughter is really upset" Roxy said and Ronnie instantly worried.
"Which one?" Ronnie asked.
"Lottie" Roxy said.
"Did she say anything to you?" Ronnie asked and Roxy shook her head.
"She was crying and asked for me to stay with her until she fell asleep which I did" Roxy said and Ronnie sighed.
"I'll try to speak to her tomorrow" Ronnie said and Roxy nodded. They continued to work until closing time and then cleaned up before heading up the stairs. Ronnie walked into her bedroom and noticed Lottie in bed. She looked at the girl's face and noticed tearstains on her face. Her heart broke.
She changed before clambering into bed with the girl. She felt like she had literally just gotten to bed when she felt herself being shaken awake again. She opened her eyes and noticed Lottie shaking her.
"Is everything okay?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shook her head before bursting into tears.
"Hey, hey come here" Ronnie said pulling the girl into her arms. She rocked the girl before reaching over and turning the bedside light on.
"Do you want to speak about it?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shrugged.
"What happened?" Ronnie asked softly.
"We just did stuff" Lottie said softly.
"Did you have sex?" Ronnie asked and Lottie shook her head.
"No but I don't know if Ryan is annoyed because I didn't want to" Lottie said.
"But you did the right thing by stopping and he respected your wishes" Ronnie said and Lottie nodded.
"I know. It's just I feel like I'm a disappointment because I didn't do it and I let him down" Lottie said.
"I'm sure he doesn't think that" Ronnie said and Lottie shrugged.
"What stuff did you do?" Ronnie asked.
"Just like felt each other and stuff. I just feel weird and like exposed because he liked touched me and like fingered me too" Lottie said embarrassedly.
"It's hard to start with but just see what he's like this week" Ronnie said and Lottie nodded.
"Thanks mum" Lottie said and Ronnie smiled.
"Don't worry about it baby" Ronnie said. "I'm just glad you aren't so upset now"
Hope this is okay :) please let me know what you think
