"Hey, Nick nice dorm room."

"Archie? What are you doing here? Payback? For Ronnie?"

"Archie? What are you doing here? Payback? For Ronnie?"

"Yeah actually. I am."

I grab him and punched him until he was unconscious.

I came back on a Saturday. It was 7 Am. I walked into Ronnie's trailer and saw Sweet Pea up making food. Cheryl was sleeping on the couch. Ronnie was sleeping still too.

"Hey."

"Hey, where were you?"

"I beat the bastard."

"Good. He deserves it all. All the pain."

Then Cheryl woke up.

"Hey Arch. Your back!"

"Yep"
————————
It had been an hour. I told Cheryl and Sweet Pea they could go home. Ronnie was still sleeping. Right on cue, she walked out of her bedroom in her underwear and my shirt.

"Wow, you look gorgeous."

She turned around quick.

"Archie you scared me! What are you still doing here?"

"Making sure your safe."

She started to walk over to me.

"How much sleep did you get?"

I didn't say anything. I didn't get any. I was exhausted, but I needed to protect her.

"Archie!?"

"Fine! I didn't get any!"

"Why?"

"Cause I went and beat his Sorry ass! And I need to protect you."

"It's sweet of you but you to sleep. I can see you tired. Just go to my bed and sleep. If you want I will come with you. Just please rest for a little while."

"I can't say no to you. Please wake me up in 1 hour."

"Okay."

She pulled me up and lead me to the bed. She pushed me down on it. And climbed on top of me. She then hugged me.

"Thank you."

Then she got up and walked out. I soon fell asleep.
—————————
I woke up and it was 12 pm. I told her to wake me up in one hour. Then I heard the door open and close. What if she's hurt? I got up really to beat someone when I felt a hand grab my fist and slowly put it down.

"It's just me."

"Ronnie, why didn't you wake me up?"

"Cause you were exhausted."

"So? What if you were hurt."

"I just went to pops."

"I just can't bear the thought of anything bad happening to you."

I hugged him.

"I can talk care of myself."

"Famous last words Ronnie."

She led me to the table. She gave me the pops bag.

"Eat up, muscles."

It was now 5 pm

"Archie? What day is it tomorrow?"

"October 11th."

"Wow...it's been a year."

"A year since what?"

"My suicide attempt."

"Ronnie..."

"It's okay. I have an amazing life now, because if you."

I smiled. She's got me and I got her.
