Part 10 (Chapters 21-24)

Will's home

   Ronnie had decided that she could get used to the lavish lifestyle that Will had. They spent the next day swimming at his house. After they went to the ice cream shop and they ran into Marcus and his cronies. He grabbed Ronnie and she yelled at him to let her go and so did Will. Marcus brought up the Scott thing so Will just left him alone. He also announced that Ronnie was going to court to on Tuesday. Ronnie told Will the story and he believed her. Ronnie asked Will what was happening with Scott and Marcus and Will just changed the subject. He asked why the piano was behind the plywood and she told that she told her dad to hide it. She told him everything about the piano and how good she was. She could go to Juilliard if she wanted. They had only known each other for a couple of days and yet they were already in love. Typical. Love takes time. Not days...
   Marcus was having a party at a rental home 2 house down from Ronnie's and he could see her and Will together and he got angry. He had one party a year like this. They broke into a rental home and trashed the place and then they left. Marcus was also a pyromaniac and wanted to set fire to something he was so mad. He decided he was better off without her until he could break Will down. Marcus needs to be ended!
   Will thought summer was passing to quickly. He was either working or with Ronnie. They had become part of each other in a way. She didn't let him go to the court hearing but he surprised her with flowers after. The charges hadn't been dropped either. Ronnie got a part time job at the aquarium. They talked about everything and they never got tired of it. Scott was still mad that Will was spending so much time with Ronnie. Ronnie was right about Wills mom not liking her though. One night in early August Will took Ronnie on a hunt for spider crabs. They ran into Scott, Ashley, and Cassie and Scott told him that they had a few days to practice because they were going to have scrimmages against some teams from the tournament. Ronnie tells him to do it. Will wants Ronnie to go to his sisters wedding with him and he also wants her to talk to Blaze again. They kiss for a little while and then they both leave.
   After Will left she went back inside and she thought about what he had said about talking to Blaze. Maybe it would help. She didn't want the charges to follow her for the rest of her life. Jonah had been spying on her and Will and he said it was gross. He's so adorable! Ronnie made Jonah hot dogs for dinner and then she went to the church where her dad was playing the piano. He played beautifully. He started coughing and she got concerned so she went over to him and asked him if he was alright. He said he was but she didn't believe him. I wouldn't either!
