Jack had walked out of the Vic and walked across the street to Christian and Syeds flat. He put his finger on the buzzer and waited. When there was no answer he buzzed the doorbel again. The door opened and Jack walked inside. When he got up Syed was waiting by the door.
- 'Hi Jack, what can i do for you?'Syed asked while stroking his hand through his hair, wondering why Jack would be there.
- 'Is Roxy in?'Jack asked while Syed let him in. Syed then pointed at the sofa where Roxy was still fast asleep.
- 'It's probably gonna take a while before she wakes up'Syed said 'They came home really late'.
- 'Were you with them?'Jack asked.
- 'No, i spend a night at my family's house, i mean there so..' Syed said.
- 'Full on?'Jack asked.
- 'Yeah, i just let them go out together, i mean dinner or just a drink with the 3 of us is fine but really going out i have to say no too'Syed smiled, he thought everybody knew when Christian and Roxy were out on the town together it probably would get really wild, something he could not really imagine himself doing.
Jack leaned over the sofa to try and wake up Roxy, the smell of alcohol was strongly present.
- 'Rox!'Jack said loud, he knew whispering would not have any effect on Roxy.
Roxy moved a bit and was giggling in her sleep.
- 'Roxy!'Jack said again, now touching her on her arm.
- 'What what?' Roxy woke up, her make up slightly spread around her face.
- 'Could you make her some coffee please Sy?'Jack asked while he sad next to her on the sofa.
- 'Jack what the f… are you doing here?'Roxy said opening her eyes noticing Jack sitting next to her' Is something wrong with Amy, my sisters what?' She started to act a little in panick thinking why Jack would be there looking for her obviously.
- 'No no they're all alright, don't worry about that, it's ehm Peggy she..'Jack wanted to say but got interupted by Roxy's hysterical reaction.
- 'Oh no auntie Peg, what happened, how did she..' Roxy screamed waking up Christian a little.
Jack put his hands around Roxy's face and tried to calm her down.
- 'Shhhs, you wake up the whole square, look nothing happened, i just wanna tell you something about her alright!'Jack said.
X-X-X-X
- 'Moving to number 27?'Robbie asked while Ronnie was making some tea. Ronnie Robbie and Glenda just had arrived back at Georgestreet, Ronnie had also taken Amy with them while Roxy was still at Christians. Ronnie had told Robbie what had happened with auntie Peggy and asked Robbie what she thought about moving in to number 27 with Glenda Roxy and Amy.
- 'Yes what do you think?' Ronnie said.
- 'Am i really gonna have a say in this, or have you already decided and just wanna break it to me gently?'Robbie said.
- 'You don't wanna go then?'Glenda asked.
- 'Do i get my own room? 'Robbie asked what seemed to be the most important thing to her at the moment. Her whole life she had been so close with her sisters, a couple years back when they used to live at Archie's she used to get scared, mostly at night and always crowled into one of her sisters beds, she still has that sometimes waking up feeling alone in the dark. Sometimes when Ronnie and Roxy were out and Archie was angry at her or was just in one of his moods he made her sleep in her own room, he knew how much she wanted to be with her sisters and he punished her that way. Sometimes she just sneaked over to one of their rooms and crawled into bed, he sometimes found out and then dragged her back to her own room locking her door. As soon as the girls came home they picked her up from her bed and took her with them. At one time when Robbie was a little older she broke one of the windows the door had. She was so angry that Archie had locked her in again. He came up and had smacked her bottom telling her to stay in her room and be quiet and if not she would be very sorry. Telling the girls that, they decided to not go out anymore, then luckely the offer for Ibiza came up and the 3 of them left, leaving Archie angry and by himself. While in Ibiza the first period, the 3 of them shared a little studio where they slept together.
It's what they got used to untill they got a bigger appartement. Roxy being in love with another bloke every couple of weeks got her own bedroom and Ronnie kept Robbie close to her.
When they arrived at Walford it was almost the same thing, Peggy didn't have much room at The Vic.
When Ronnie and Robbie moved to Georgestreet, at the time when Archie came back, she got herself a room of her own again. Although her still having nightmares sometimes, and at that time mostly about Archie and sometimes being scared never stopped her from hopping into bed with Ronnie, knowing to have her sisters arms around her would make her fall asleep easily.
Ronnie didn't mind, she loved having her really close, knowing noone would hurt her ever again.
- 'Ofcourse you'll have your own room darling, and we can decorate it anyway you like' Glenda said.
- 'Mum you sound like Roxy don't get too excited yet!'Ronnie said'Yes i think there will be a room for you baby, and like mum said, we can look for something to make your room your own, …if we're gonna move there'.
- 'What about auntie Peg, i mean are you guys in the "i'm not talking to you anymore"-mode, don't you find it strange that this happened overnight, and then Sam coming back also'.
- 'I don't know Robbie, i have to talk to her ofcourse, i mean we work together at the Vic'Ronnie said.
Then the doorbell rang and Ronnie walked out of the room to open the door.
- 'Oh my god, i can't believe what Jack just told me, is it true, did she throw us out?' it was Roxy.
- 'Yes she did, can you believe it?'Glenda said immediately, this was something to win the girls over on her side, this was something that could put the relationship between Peggy and her girls on shaky ground, and Peggy did that all to herself .
- 'Well she said, you would move to 27 and would "persuade" us to go live there too' Ronnie said 'I'm willing to believe that, you with your big gob, it just felt as she wanted to get rid of us'.
- 'Oi!'Roxy said not wanted to get blamed for anything 'I might have been slightly overexcited about nr 27, moving in all of us together, but hey it's probably Shirley who used her big gob to Phil cause i haven't seen him last night'.
- 'So what do you want then darling, do you wanna stay here or..?'Glenda asked Ronnie.
- 'Well if we stay here, Roxy has a problem, this place is to small for 5 people'Ronnie said 'so maybe nr 27 isn't such a bad idea'.
- 'Oh it's gonna be great Ron i'll tell ya, we're gonna have a house of our own!'Roxy said hugging Robbie.
- 'God what did you drink last night, you smell like dead dogs or something, and i mean dead for a couple of weeks'Robbie said pushing her sister of her.
- 'Why don't you go take a shower Rox and we'll make some lunch yeah, then we can talk some more about it'Ronnie said.
- 'Yeah allright, oh this is gonna be so much fun'Roxy said dancing around Ronnie.
- 'Yeah at least for one day'Robbie said making some faces to Ronnie making clear that their sister went a bit loopy.
- 'Why don't you go over to the minimart and get some bread, eggs and something to drink', i'll make you a little list yeah'Ronnie asked Robbie.
- 'Am i aloud to get out of this "institution"?'Robbie asked surprised, Ronnie was not the one to easily give in, noone of the 3 sisters were, and Ronnie never gave in when she had punished Robbie for something, she thought disciplining because you love someone really could go together, and it did work, Robbie could get furious being punished for something but also knew she already got away with lots of things, and that Ronnie was strict didn't mean she was as coldhearted as Archie, she spoilt her a lot giving her everything she wanted, including the most important, precious and expensive gift, her love.
- 'Yeah for groceries only, then when you get back i'll put your straightjacket back on yeah!'Ronnie said with a little grin on her face.
