Robert made it to the house. The house where Lacy lived. “I made it here. But… how do I get in?” Robert wondered.
Lacy was lying there as Ronnie just continued his pace on her. Lacy had her eyes close. Robert wouldn’t leave her mind. “Get out of my head! No! This isn’t true!” Lacy yells at herself in her head. Lacy felt like she was reaching her maximum with Ronnie. He felt it too. Lacy let out a moan. “Robert!” Lacy blurts out as she moaned. She felt like she didn’t have control of her body or mouth. Robert happened to be near Lacy’s window and he heard her.
“What the hell?” Robert thought to himself. Ronnie gets off Lacy. They both were silent for a few minutes.
“Lacy. Why did you say Robert’s name?” Ronnie asks her when he finally caught his breath. Lacy stood up.
“I… I don’t fucking know!” Lacy snaps at him. She walks wobbly to the door.
“Where are you going?” Ronnie asks her.
“Bathroom!” Lacy didn’t care if she had no clothes on. She opened her bedroom door and ran out of her bedroom. She quickly made it to the bathroom. She locked the door. “I can’t Ronnie! I can’t!” Lacy thought to herself and started to cry. “Dammit! Robert why did you appear in my head?! Why?” Lacy says as she continued to cry.
Robert knocks on the window and Ronnie noticed him. Ronnie opened the window. “What the hell are you doing here?” Ronnie asks.
“To stop you, but I didn’t make it.” Robert answered truthfully. “Why did I hear Lacy say my name?”
“I don’t know.” Ronnie honestly didn’t know. Robert decides to let himself in the bedroom through the window.
“Where’s Lacy?” Robert asks.
“She said the bathroom.” Ronnie answered. “I am going to check on her. Leave.” Ronnie glares.
“No.” Robert glares back at him. Ronnie was getting dressed and then went out of Lacy’s bedroom. He went to the bathroom door and knocked on it.
“Lacy? Are you alright?” Ronnie asked.
“F-Fine!” Lacy lied. She looks down.
“Can you open the door?” Ronnie asks.
“I did something wrong. Why did I do that? Robert wouldn’t get out of my head. Do I love him more than Ronnie? Did I made a mistake? Was I wrong that I loved them both the same? Am I the fool here?” Lacy wondered. She opened the bathroom door.
“Let’s go back to your bedroom. Robert is here.” Ronnie tells Lacy.
“He is?!” Lacy was surprised. Ronnie grabs her hand and takes her back to the bedroom. Ronnie shuts the door and locks it. Lacy blushes a little as she stood in front of both brothers. Naked.
“This is getting nowhere. Lacy, you tried dating Ronnie before and you said you couldn’t stop thinking of me too. Why didn’t you try dating me for a little while? A week and see if you start thinking of Ronnie. Why didn’t you do that?” Robert asks Lacy.
“I… I don’t know…” Lacy looks down.
“I heard you say my name in here. You obviously are doing it again. This is going nowhere. Just be with me for the longest a week. Shortest three days and see how it goes. If you start thinking of Ronnie. If you start to then you know you love us both. But if you don’t think of Ronnie then you know who you love.” Robert proposed the idea.
“What the hell is this?!” Ronnie glared. “This isn’t fair to me!”
“Actually it is. Look idiot, you got her twice. From before and now for three days you had her. When is it my turn to just date her?” Robert asks.
“He’s right, Ronnie. I never did give him a fair chance with that. I technically dated you solo and it wasn’t working out.” Lacy admits. “Ronnie. I love you. Can I do this? This sounds like a good idea.” Lacy touches Ronnie’s face. He looked upset.
“I bet you will fall in love with Robert and forget about me! You will!” Ronnie says upset.
“No Ronnie. I am positive. I am sure I will… I will miss you. Just please.” Lacy said and Ronnie slaps her hand away from him. He was glaring at her.
“No! I am not doing this anymore!”
“W-What?” Lacy was confused. He seemed angry.
“Hey, don’t yell at her!” Robert snaps back at Ronnie.
“Ronnie, why can’t I do this? Why can’t I just do what Robert suggested? It’s what probably is best. I can see how it goes with him and if I miss you like I missed Robert when I was with you. Then I really love you both.” Lacy said. She wanted this to be the truth of why she was thinking of Robert recently.
“Hell no.” Ronnie looked angry still. Lacy wasn’t sure what to do. She knew she hurt his feelings but wasn’t sure what to say anymore to him. “Forget it. Forget it all.” Ronnie slaps Lacy. He slaps her across her face. Lacy was surprised he slapped her. Robert was too.
“Ronnie!” Robert felt mad at Ronnie.
“I hate you, you bitch!” Ronnie coldly says to Lacy. He then pushes her. Making her fall and Robert caught her.
“What got into you?!” Robert asks his younger brother. Ronnie left the bedroom and left the house. Lacy couldn’t believe it. She started to cry.
“He… He hates me.” Lacy says as she cried. She hugs Robert. “He hates me!”
“Lacy…” Robert touches the back of Lacy’s head.
June was almost over. Summer was officially here for all of them. Max was with Alana in his bedroom.
“Your parents are fighting hard for you, aren’t they?” Alana asks Max.
“I am happy that they are. So far, things look good for them.” Max tells Alana with a smile.
“I want you to be happy.” Alana says and touches Max’s hand. He blushes at her.
“Alana, you really are a sweet girl.” Max said to her with a smile. She blushes.
“Are you sure I am?” Alana asks. He nods.
“I am glad that I am done being grounded.”
“Did your parents found out about us?” Alana asked. Max shook his head.
“No. They think our relationship is innocent. Too bad it actually isn’t.” Max laughed a little. Alana blushes more.
“I don’t know what to say about what we did twice…” Alana said and looks down. “I am not angry, I just feel weird. I wanted to wait till marriage.”
“I am sorry.” Max apologized.
“It’s both of our faults.” Alana says as she stared at him now.
“Let’s go get some snacks.” Max got off his bed.
“Alright.” Alana followed him out of the bedroom.
In the days that had gone by, Ronnie haven’t spoke to Robert or Lacy. He ignored them. He started hanging out with Tj and Kevin again and wasn’t barely home much. Brice was in the living room in his house with Robert and Lacy.
“I thought Lacy was dating Ronnie, now she’s with you?” Brice asked Robert.
“Ronnie slapped her and called her a bitch.” Robert admitted the truth. “He then said he hated her. So why would she date him?”
“He did that?” Brice asked Lacy. She nods.
“He did, but let’s not talk about him. And please don’t get angry with him.” Lacy tells Brice.
“I can’t believe Ronnie would do something like that. And now he’s mostly been gone.” Brice said and looked at his cup of tea on the coffee table.
“Ronnie has got some issues lately.” Robert said and looks at Lacy. She stood up and left the living room. Robert followed her. They went to the bedroom together. “So far dating me, how are you? Do you think of Ronnie a lot?” Robert asks Lacy. She sits down on the bed in the bedroom.
“Ronnie… slapped me. I don’t know why he did that…” Lacy said looking down. “I think he truly was angry because when we were getting to the end of having… you know what, I said your name.”
“That pissed him off? Why did you do that?” Robert asks and sits down on the bed next to Lacy.
“I don’t know. I kept thinking I saw you and was seeing you. I don’t know what was going on with me.”
“Lacy do you really… Do you really love me more than Ronnie?” Robert asks. He brings Lacy close to him.
“Robert. I don’t. I love you both. I keep thinking of Ronnie lately.”
“You have?” Robert asks. She nods.
“It’s not just that day that bothers me. At night I kept dreaming of him.” Lacy admits.
“Lacy…” Robert stares at her. She didn’t look at him. Robert touches her face and then makes her look at him.
“I wish things could go back the way they were. Ronnie being here too. I miss Ronnie.” Lacy said feeling depressed. She did miss Ronnie. Robert kisses her. She just sat there as Robert continued to kiss her. “Ronnie is so furious with me. He has every right to be. But… I love Ronnie. Ronnie… Ronnie.” Lacy thought to herself as Robert continued to keep kissing her. Lacy closes her eyes and starts to imagine Ronnie being by her. Kissing her. “Why is this happening again?!” Lacy asks herself. She was imagining Robert was Ronnie as before she did when she was with Ronnie. Imagining Robert with her instead. Robert parts lips from Lacy.
“Is everything alright?” Robert asks her.
“Yes.” She lies.
“You know, for the past few days… we haven’t done anything really.”
“I know.” Lacy looks the other way. “Ronnie is hanging with Tj and Kevin again.”
“When he hangs with those two he becomes a total asshole.” Robert said. It was true. When Ronnie would hang with the both of them he just didn’t seem like himself. “I still can’t believe Alana’s dad wants to marry Tj’s mother when Tj is nuts.”
“Robert, Alana’s dad wants to marry that woman because she is his true love. Besides he is the father of Tj and his brother. Alana told me that her dad told her all about it. In reality, Tj and Lionel are Alana’s older half brothers.”
“I didn’t know that.” Robert laughed a little and starts to undress Lacy. She just sat there and lets him.
