Chapter 8

Gunter heard a knock on his door before Cece came through, not waiting for an invitation. Tinka had gone to the fabric store to pick up a few things so Cece had good timing.

He saw her face, she looked pale, paler than usual, and she was shaking.

"Cece, what is wrong?" Gunter asked steadying her.

"I-I can't tell you!" She stuttered.

"Cece I am BF, you can tell me anything," He said, hoping to find out what had shocked her so much she couldn't tell him.

"Rocky-" She started before stopping almost immediately. He tilted his head as she looked back at him with wide eyes as if she had just realised something. "I have to go!" She exclaimed suddenly.

"Cece wait!" It was too late; she had already run out of his apartment and was halfway to the elevator. Gunter watched her wait for the elevator, bouncing impatiently as the doors slid open. An old lady glanced at her as if she had lost her mind, Gunter feared she had. Cece hit the button and disappeared.

"There's an elevator?" Gunter mumbled before returning to his apartment.

Frankie was walking by the subway after his date with Rocky when he saw Deuce.

Trying to avoid him, he turned around and headed in the opposite direction, but Deuce was on to him.

"Hey!" He called and Frankie was forced to face him.

"What?" He asked anxiously.

"Look I'm sorry I told Dina about you and Rocky-how did you find out anyways?" Deuce asked narrowing his eyes.

"Overheard your conversation at school," Frankie answered coolly, he wasn't afraid of Deuce, if anything Deuce should be afraid of him, he did throw him in a dumpster, surely that would be enough to frighten him off, but apparently not.

"Oh so you were eavesdropping?" He growled.

"What do you want Deuce?" Frankie questioned becoming increasingly impatient.

"I don't know what you're up to, but leave Rocky out of it," He warned trying his best to look intimidating. Frankie looked down at him, he knew Deuce stood no chance against him, but he didn't want any trouble. It was probably bad enough he had thrown Rocky's friend in a dumpster, she might never forgive him if he fought Deuce.

"Look Deuce, I love Rocky, and I'm sorry about today, here, this is all the money I took from you, and don't worry it won't happen again," Frankie promised and he saw Deuce take step back, he was convinced.

He nodded slowly, and began to walk away, somewhat shocked by 'The Complication's' apology.

"Deuce!" Frankie called before handing the money to him, it was more than he had taken but he figured he owed more considering he and his crew threw him in a dumpster. Deuce nodded again, still in shock Frankie guessed laughing to himself. He had vowed to be a better person now that he and Rocky were together, this had been a step forwards.

Rocky headed to Cece's apartment, a smile on her face.

When she climbed through the open window she found Cece had been waiting for her.

"Hey hey hey," She said as she entered, standing by the window she saw Cece's expression, she looked mad, close to tears almost. Her smile faded completely.

"Are you okay?" Rocky asked, not moving from where she stood.

"No Rocky, I'm not okay, I just found out that my best friend didn't tell me she was dating Frankie," Cece explained, Rocky's heart sank, she knew this would happen but she would've wanted to tell Cece herself. She froze. How did Cece find out? Who told her? Deuce? Dina? Ty?

"Who told you?" She questioned aloud.

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you didn't, I'm your best friend. Don't you trust me?" Rocky flinched when she saw just how upset Cece was.

"It's not like that Cece! I was afraid, if I told you, you'd freak, like you are now," Rocky said.

"I'm only freaking out because you didn't tell me," Cece insisted. Rocky looked down, not wanting to see the hurt in her friend's eyes.

"I'm sorry," She apologised quietly.

To her surprise, Cece hugged her, no longer mad. She must've noticed Rocky's confused expression because she said "So, you and Frankie? As match maker I did not see that coming," Rocky laughed hugged her again, her secret was out, Cece knew and soon everyone else would too, but she was okay with that. Rocky was just glad her best friend wasn't mad at her anymore. No more lies.

"So who told you?" She asked out of curiosity.

"Ty," Cece answered.

"I knew it!" Rocky exclaimed.

Tinka had put her things in her apartment, careful not to wake Gunter who had fallen asleep watching the home sheeping network again.

She headed to Ty's apartment only to find him waiting for her.

"Ty, what is wrong?" She asked seeing his expression which she couldn't quite read, but he was shaking, that had caused her to think something may be wrong.

"Cece knows about us-I didn't tell her," He insisted.

Tinka laughed "Who cares if Cece knows? Gunter knows, soon everyone else will too, it is inevitable," She said waving her hand as if it was no big deal, which it wasn't, to her anyways. Tinka was not at all concerned about people finding out, these things were never secret for long. She froze and looked at Ty. Did he care if people found out? Was he ashamed of her?

"Does Rocky know?" He asked.

Tinka stared at him for a while before breaking the silence "If Cece knows, then she will probably end up telling Rocky," She waited for his reaction and was hurt by what she saw. He looked paniced, almost frightened, that his sister would find out.

"I got to make sure that doesn't happen," He said suddenly heading to Cece's apartment where he knew he'd find his sister, leaving Tinka to doubt their relationship.

Before he could go she called "You are ashamed of me, aren't you?" She watched as Ty turned back, startled by this accusation.

"What? No! I love you Tinka," Ty replied.

"Prove it," Tinka whispered, before walking back to her apartment, not turning back to see Ty staring after her.

Deuce was sitting on the stoop, outside Rocky and Cece's apartment, too stunned to walk home. Maybe Frankie did love Rocky, it had certainly seemed that way. This could be a good thing, he thought to himself, still trying to make sense of it all, Frankie didn't hurt him tonight, like he would've done only a few weeks ago, could Rocky actually be a good influence on him? Well one thing's for sure, Deuce would rather that than the other way around.

His phone rang; he was getting a call from Dina. He answered it, trying to shake away the shock.

"Deucey where are you?" Dina asked.

"I'm at Rocky's and Cece's apartment building, I'll be right over," He replied, trying to figure out how he was going to get to his apartment.

"That's okay, your mum's going to pick you up," She said. It sounded as if she were laughing.

"So you met my parents?" Deuce questioned shaking his head; he wondered how that had gone for her. She was laughing, that was a good sign, right?

"Our parents are going to get on so well together," Dina said and he relaxed a little before remembering his run in with Frankie. He still couldn't believe the sincerity in his voice when he said he loved Rocky. Deuce smiled, maybe Rocky had found true love, the kind of true love he had with Dina.

Ty saw Tinka disappear, he was confused as to what he had done to upset her, but right now he didn't have time for that. He decided to use the fire escape, but found he didn't have to as he saw Rocky waiting in the living room.

"So you told Cece?" She asked.

"I'm sorry, it's just that-" He stopped stuttering as his little sister hugged him. Ty was even more confused than ever. He had just told Rocky's best friend about her secret relationship with Frankie, 'The Complication', and now she was hugging him?

"Thank you," Rocky said quietly.

He frowned. Was she planning revenge, or was she actually thanking him for spilling her secret? He thought it best not to ask questions. Obviously she didn't know about him and Tinka, which reminded him, now he had to figure out why Tinka was mad at him and then find some way to fix it, easier said than done. He remembered what Tinka had said, how she had asked him if he were ashamed of her. Did she really think that? He wondered and then Ty recalled her last words before she had walked away.

'Prove it,' He knew now what he had to do, Ty had to make sure everyone knew how much he loved Tinka Hessinheffer.

Cece slumped down on the coach as Rocky disappeared up the fire escape with a smile on her face.

Cece had been mad at first, but Rocky was her best friend and if she really did like Frankie, then she would support her, although Rocky had told her to knock that off after she turned down that whole modelling thing.

She was somewhat nervous now. She had found out Rocky's secret, how much longer would it be before everyone found out she and Gunter were dating?

She jumped as Flynn appeared.

"What do you want Flynn?" Cece asked.

"What was all that about?" He questioned referring to her and Rocky's conversation.

"Nothing Flynn, go back to bed," She said, not about to attempt to explain the whole thing to her eight-year-old brother. Then again, there wasn't much to explain really. Rocky was dating Frankie, nothing complicated about that was there?

"It's only seven thirty," Flynn pointed out turning on the T.V. Cece looked at her watch, the little hand-the only hand her watch had-pointed to the seven. She sighed, it felt later.

"What is this?" She asked gesturing to the T.V.

"The Home Sheeping Network," Flynn replied.
