Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Agreement to pay

Can I get prosecuted if I signed an agreement to pay what I stole back to the owner? The owner wants to prosecute another person for the same crime. But then he said he wont prosecute if she pays it back...can this affect me if she gets prosecuted becuase she is unwilling to pay back the money. The owner made us signed a paper saying that we will pay him back through our paychecks. But this other girl is not willing to pay, so he wants to call the police on her. Will we get affected if she gets arrested and gets prosecuted. thank you
