Lonely Teardrops! [Cry Baby]

Chapter 1 ❣︎︎ She's The Queen! Baltimore, Maryland 1960 I was getting dolled up to go head over into town. We were going to Turkey Point tonight. I was hoping to find a boyfriend. One more my speed. I was all grown up now. I was out of high school. And it was time they all saw me as an adult. Like one of them. I wanted to be accepted as one of them. And I always got what I wanted. I had grown up around here. Most of my life. I found my real father was here in Baltimore. So, I moved here to get to know my big sister Mona. My stepmother did not really care for me. But I stuck around. They were not good parents. Mona turned out scared. Nearly died when she was younger. She is a beautiful soul on the inside. That was what counted. I looked more like my real mother then my father. My mother had not even notice that I left her when I did. She was too busy going in and out of bars. Trying to hook her claws in a rich man. She did not care what I did. I knew out there I would find a family. Someone to care for me. And I did here in Baltimore. With my half sister Mona and her friends. Cry Baby Walker and his sister Pepper took me in once they knew I was really Mona's sister. They all looked out for me when I moved to Baltimore. I loved my new life here. I loved my own little family we created. I was bummed when Cry Baby (Wade Walker) broke up with his girl friend Allison. We were all close to her. But now I know why they were not meant to be. Because I was meant for Cry Baby. After all he has done to take care of me this just made me want to take care of him. Do all I could for him. I was in love with my sisters best friend. Cry Baby. They called him Cry Baby for personal reasons. The nickname became more powerful for him then his real name. So, he stuck by Cry Baby. I made sure my black nails were all dried. Then I pulled up my black sleek tights over my legs. And put on a simple black tee shirt. It did read "Joan Jett" she was one of my favorite singers besides Cry Baby. I put my leather jacket over my shoulders to polish off the look. I slipped my toes into my leather boots. Added a black leather belt with sliver studs in it as well as a skull on the front. I looked good. My hair was on the point to being perfect. I could not ask for better weather today. I had a feeling tonight was going to be a fantastic time. My sister's band was going to be playing tonight at Turkey Point. We were going to rock. ♡♪♬♪♡ "Ronnie? Are you ready? Milton is waiting outside" Mona calls for me. We were all moved in her place with Milton. We no longer had to live at my father's horrible home. Mona and Milton had married last summer. Mona was expecting her first baby near winter time. They were thrilled to have a baby. Mona was hoping for a little boy. Maybe twins even. "I am ready! Coming" I call back to her as I grab my purse and head down the stairs. "You, look fantastic" Mona praises me as her right eye c***s up. She had issues but she was not as scary as she looked. "Thanks, you think so?" I ask her hopefully. "I really mean that. I think Jeff's eyes will bug out when he sees you tonight" she chuckles. I sigh. "I am not into Jeff. We have been over this. Jeff is old news". "Come on sis. You know you are too young for Cry Baby" she warns me sternly. "I am not afraid to get to close to the flame and get burned" I remind her gently. "I know what I want. I am a big girl" "A big girl who is looking for trouble. Besides Cry Baby is not over Allison. You are asking for a heartache" she tries to say. "I know all that. I am ten times better for him then she will ever be. He will see this" I try to tell her. "I would never break his heart" "I know that. I just worry he is going to break your heart" she softly says as she places a hand on my shoulder. "I don't care. I just want a chance is all, that is all I ask" I say to her. "Do not say I did not tell you so" she sighs. "let's go or we will be late" We head out the door. Milton had the car running. We hop in his car. He normally preferred his bike but when Mona was found to have his baby, he had to get decent car. One a baby could be in. So now he drove a car. He did not seem to mind being in a car too much. Bikes were much more fun though. ♡♪♬♪♡ "You girls excited to play at Turkey Point tonight?" Milton asks us. "Thrilled" I say as I stare out the window as we pull out of the driveway. "Is Ronnie going to be doing the tambourine?" asks Milton. "No, I will be on spoons" I sarcastically remark to him. Milton laughs. "I walked into that one" he chuckles. We soon pull into the beach where Turkey Point was located at. We find a spot to park. "There is our son. Jesus is still in his heart. Even though he comes here to devils point with that she devil he knows who god is to him. Upon us. My son" someone calls out on the speaker. I turn to see Milton's parents there as always preaching to the choir. "Geeze, dad I want to live!" mutters Milton as we walk as fast as we can away from those kook's. We slap hands with some of the local kids who were already playing tunes on the jukebox there. And make our way to Cry Baby's home there in the back of the wooded clearing. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I was going to miss summer when it was over with. Summer was the best time ever to be alive. ♡♪♬♪♡ "Gosh, you caught me in my birthday suit" chuckles Cry Baby's uncle Belvedere Rickett. He was sitting in the smallest tin tub with his bare legs sticking out as he washed in the tub outside there home there at the camp ground. "Hi Belvedere." Mona greets him. She begins playing with Pepper's kids that come out. "Bang bang bang...." she jokes as they play around there. "You kids ready to play tonight?" Ramona asks as she comes out of her office area. She shoots her gun suddenly. "God damn gofers always trying to dig up my front yard" she complains. "We are ready to play for you" I tell her. "Look at you all painted up like trash. You look wonderful" Ramona brags on me. "Thanks I would kick a squares ass for you in a heartbeat" I tell her. "Veronica is that really you?" Cry Baby asks when he comes out. "are you allowed to wear that?" he teases as his eyes look me up and down suddenly. I blush with pride. "It is me. I am all done with school. Did Mona tell you? I will play with you tonight" I brag. "I heard. Welcome to the Cry Baby Band" he says. "What about being in the group? I want to be a Cry Baby girl. I can fight like any of you" I point out. I sigh. They were never going to let me in. "Band yes but gang no. I do not want you to end up in jail as we all have before. You are a good girl Ronnie. And you have a bright future ahead" Cry Baby tells me again. No no always no. "Come on. I can handle it. I don't care. I want to be officially a part of the gang" I mutter. "Sorry sugar my answer is still no" he warns me as they walk off some place on Turkey Point. ♡♪♬♪♡ This was far from over. I was going to be a part of this gang. I was a member. They should let me in. This was so unfair that I was being treated as though I was a child still. They had to start seeing me differently. That I could handle my own. But how? How was I going to prove that? I sigh as I sit at a table and watch people at the beach swimming around. Feeling left out. And let down. Suddenly I hear soft talking. I glance to my right and I spot them. Two squares were over in the clearing. Baldwin. He hated Cry Baby and my family. What the hell was he roaming around here on Turkey Point for? I hop off the picnic table then try to get close enough to see what Baldwin was saying to someone else. Why was he here? I had to let Cry Baby know his ememy was here on his turf. This was not good. I was sure of it. I sneak closer than peer over a pine tree to watch them. "That is the plan. Once they sing, we sneak in the crowd like before" he was whispering. "We will be here before the concert. Hide out. Those drapes are going to pay for taking Allison away from me. I will never forgive Cry Baby for that" Baldwin was saying. "he will be sorry he was ever born" he chuckles. This was my chance. To stop Baldwin from wrecking our concert tonight. Then they would all see I was going to be a part of the group. That they could all count on me. And welcome me in. Once and for all! • ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •• ❤︎ •
