Chapter 4: a serious surprise
Vanellope's POV
We got home to see Cece wasn't there and a guy with long, flowing brown hair and brown eyes was. Rocky looked at him shocked. "Logan, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Can you guess?" he replied with another question.
"Cece couldn't commit to taking care of Rancis, so she called you to take care of him while she goes shopping with the sixty bucks an hour she doesn't deserve," she guessed.
"Ding, ding, ding," he replied, "And he's lucky I came when I did. I knew she was going to leave right after she called, so I rushed over here. He wasn't looking so hot when I came over. I think he was dehydrated," he replied.
"I can't believe her," Rocky said, angrily.
"I know. He was almost about to die when I came. I practically saved him for just being here," Logan said. I almost began to cry.
"Where is he?" I weakly asked.
"Oh! He's right over there. I put on a movie for him and he was out like a light," he replied. I walked over to my sleeping boyfriend. He was very pale. I tried to wake him up. Once he did, his eyes, once full of life, were now cold and dead, that was until he saw me. Then they lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Hey V," he weakly said.
"Hey. How are you feeling?" I asked.
"I feel fine, but I am a little thirsty," he said. I nodded my head and went into the kitchen. I got him some water when I heard the door open. I walked back into the front room to hear the heated conversation and to give Rancis his water.
"Cece, where were you?" Rocky asked.
"Rocky, how long have you been here?" Cece replied with another question.
"Long enough to know that you left a poisoned person unsupervised," she said.
"He was poisoned?" Cece asked.
"Yes and I told you to stay here and help him out, he almost died, Cece," Rocky said, clearly angry. I got over to Rancis and gave him his water.
"Thanks V," he whispered to me.
"I can't believe you. When someone really needed you, you leave them to fend for themselves," Rocky hissed.
"I'm sorry…" Cece started to say.
"Don't say sorry to me, say sorry to the two kids you let down," Rocky spat. Cece looked at us and then back at Rocky.
"I don't think I have anything to say to them," she said, which broke my heart. She didn't even care enough to right her wrongs.
"You don't even care enough to right your wrongs," she half-heartedly said.
"No, I actually don't," Cece, replied, "I only took this job to get some extra money."
"You work on a TV show, why would you need extra money?" Rocky asked half-heartedly.
"I need the money to get me a new phone much quicker. My old one broke," she replied.
"Well, your not getting your money when my dad is told what you've done," Rocky spat. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some children I need to take care of," she said, then picked up Rancis and walked out to the fire escape, the rest of us in tow.
"Hold up Rocky!" Logan exclaimed up to Rocky. We all stopped and waited for Logan.
"Look Logan, I don't need an 'I told you so' moment right now," Rocky said.
"What are you talking about? I want to help," he said proudly.
"Thanks Logan," she said, hugging him tightly. I'm going to give Cece a big talk down tomorrow, but today I'm exhausted. We got to Rocky's home. Once Rocky put Rancis down, I snuggled up to him and fell asleep.
