Amy Juergens stood inside her room with Ben as they looked out the window at the rain that had been pouring down all day. It was the last day that Amy was going to see Ben before he left for Italy. She really wanted to go with him, but Ricky, her parents, and Ashley ended up talking her out of it. Amy wasn't sure that Ben even wanted her to go, and that upset her.

Amy was holding John in her arms, rocking him back and forth as he cried. She knew why he was crying. He wanted Ricky, of course, but it was around eleven at night and she assumed he wouldn't come over that late. She didn't really even want Ben here this late, but since it was the last day she would see him she decided that it would be okay.

"I love you, Amy." Ben said to her desperately, snapping her out of her thoughts that were rambling in her mind. She flinched at how his words sounded.

"Me too." She carelessly replied and didn't feel the need to say it back. "I can't believe that you're going to a different country without me." She continued with hatred and venom in her voice.

"I know, and I do want to take you, but I think it would be best if you stay here with John for the summer. It'll only be a couple of months. Before you know it, I'll be back." He attempted to reassure her but failed. Amy still didn't feel any better.

All she did was nod, but more to herself though, as he wasn't looking at her. Ben noticed she didn't say anything and was caught up in her thoughts. "Amy?"

"Yeah?" She asked. Her voice sounded quiet as she spoke, she was exhausted and the rain was only making her feel more drowsy. She squeezed her eyes tightly closed and then opened them again as she tried to stay awake.

Ben didn't say anything. Instead, he stepped closer to her and put his hand around her cheek and forcefully kissed her. She kissed him back at first, but then she pushed him off of her and her eyes wandered down to the floor. The kiss was too forced, and she didn't feel anything when he kissed her. She wanted it to be romantic, but it definitely was not romantic to her anymore.

She didn't want to hurt his feelings, but there was one thing that was on her mind that really bothered her. "Ben, are you going to Italy just so you can have sex? I know you already said you're not, but for some reason I can't help but think that you are."

He scrunched his eyebrows together and delicately held her by her hand. But she could see fakeness in his eyes when he spoke. "No, I'm not. I wouldn't do that to you. You can trust me. I love you, and I can wait a few years." He rambled on, sounding unsure of himself. "Until we're out of highschool, college even. Until you're ready, if that's ten years.. or twenty years, I'll be fine."

She didn't believe him. She didn't want him to go to Italy, she knew he was going to get himself into trouble. She nodded and bowed her head down as she sat down on the end of her bed and nervously folded her arms together. Ben slightly turned his body to stare at her. He considered sitting down beside her, but he didn't want her to push him away again. Rejection hurt.

"Well.." He began, waited for her to look at him. Once she finally did, he continued, "I guess I should be going now. It's really late, and since you don't want me to sleep over.." He paused, hoping for her to change his mind. She looked at him for a brief moment but then shook her head.

Ben nodded and started to walk towards the door. As he stood in the doorway, Amy stopped him. "Ben."

He happily turned his head around to look, knowing there was some chance she would let him stay. Amy rushed over to him and put her hand on his arm and looked at him with serious eyes. "Don't you dare get into trouble."

The smile that was once on his face was now gone and had turned into a frown. "Amy Juergens. How could you not trust me? I love you."

"I know you love me." She whispered. "Or at least, I know you think you do. It's getting harder to believe that. I- I just know you're gonna get into trouble. I know something is going to happen in Italy, and I won't even be able to stop it."

Ben promptly looked down at the floor, and Amy began to worry. He closed his eyes and said quietly, "I love you, Amy. Maybe it's a good thing that I'm going away for this summer. Maybe we'll both find something.. find something that will really be good for the both of us."

"What?" She asked. She scrunched her face together and nervously ran her fingers through her hair. "Are- Are you breaking up with me?"

Again, he looked down at the ground and hid his face as he nodded. "Temporarily."

Suddenly everything became overwhelming to Amy. She quickly wiped the tears away that were racing down her cheek. Ben looked up with sad eyes once he heard her cry. She shook her head. "N- No. I- I'm fine, really. Just go."

Ben stood there emotionless. "I love you Amy, I hope we can still be friends." She let out another cry and muttered under her breath for him to get out. She turned around as he begun to walk out, and heard his footsteps while he was leaving.

She didn't understand why he would cheat on her, he said he loved her. She knew the reason he broke up with her was because he couldn't wait anymore. She knew he was jealous, because he thought she had feelings for Ricky.

She couldn't tell herself that, though, because she did have some feelings for Ricky. It was always in the back of her mind, but she was afraid of those feelings. She knew that it was wrong for her to feel that way, and she just wanted them to go away.

She suddenly began to fly out the door to plead with Ben for him to come back. Although he got on her nerves, she still didn't want to lose him. He was her support, her comfort, and when everything came down to the worst, he was her friend and she needed him for that. She needed someone for that, especially now.

She flew down the hallway and headed for the kitchen door, then she pulled open the door and kept her head down so she wouldn't get wet from the rain. But she was stopped when she bumped into someone. She looked down at the ground as the rain continued falling down, but finally forced herself to look up, and she flinched when she saw she had bumped into Ricky.
