Part 5 (Chapters 8-9)

   Blaze took Ronnie to a local little dinner downtown. Blaze ordered her food and Ronnie was tempted to order too but since she was a vegetarian she wasn't sure she could if the oil they used was ok. They talked about the worst things they had ever done and Ronnie told her about getting arrested for shoplifting in New York. Then Marcus and his pose showed up (Teddy and Lance). Marcus sat down with Ronnie...creeper!!! The 3 of them ate Blaze's food and she didn't say one word to them. Man I would have ended all 3 of them. Lance and Teddy's parents owns the motel that Marcus lives at. Blaze stays with him too. Like get a job for real. Marcus invites Ronnie to a party at Bowers Point...he's the weirdest guy ever. I would have already dropped him. Ew.

   While Ronnie is gone, Steve and Jonah spent the day together just chilling out. Steve's father was a very boring and plain man. He did things by the book and never really varied from his normal routine...am I seeing a trend between that and Dear John? Hmmm interesting. He then began thinking about when he and Kim were having marriage problems and how they went to a counselor and he thought about his relationship with his father. When it was 1 o'clock and Ronnie was not yet home he went outside to think and he felt empty. Sounds like he has daddy issues to me. It also sounds like he needs to try to have a better relationship with Ronnie.
