"Amy?", Ben said smiling as he walked toward the brunette. He knew, she'd never go through with it.

Amy looked up, she really wasn't in the mood to deal with Ben right now.

As Ben walked closer, he could see that Amy had been crying. He stopped smiling and took a seat next to her.

"What happened?" Ben asked, trying to not be so pushy.

"Oh, you know what happened, I couldn't go through with the wedding. You were right all along, you can gloat now." Amy looked away from Ben, he was the last person she wanted to see.

" I'm sorry. I know I've been a pain in the ass, this past year mostly because I'm just so in love with you. I know that's not an excuse. I know break ups can be hard, I'm still trying to get over mine. " Amy was now looking at Ben. He actually seemed like the Ben she used to know, for the first time in as long as she could remember.

"I didn't know your flight was tonight. I'm gonna go, I know you want to be alone right now. If you need somebody to talk to, I'm here for you, as a friend, if that's what you want. "

Ben starts walking away, but Amy stops him. "Wait, as annoying as you've been this past year, you're someone whose always understood me, been in my corner, somehow understood my reasons for doing things, even before I understood them. Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Ben didn't say anything for a few minutes, trying to think hard about how to answer the question. He finally looked up, looking into the girl's hazel eyes, the eyes that had made him fall in love with her.

" Amy, you're a great mother, despite being a teen mother, you've been so amazing with John. You've done everything in your power to give him everything he needs, you always put him first. You're entitled to go fulfill you're dreams, if you're educated, you can provide for John, the way he deserves ; And as much as I hate to say it, Ricky is a wonderful father, he'll take good care of John."

Amy smiled. "What about not going through with the wedding? Do you think that was the right thing?"

Ben smiled, " I don't think I'm the best person to answer that but, I think you did the right thing. Not because I want to be with you, but because you deserve to be madly in love with whoever you marry. Hell, even Ricky does. As far as getting married for John's sake is concerned. Kids know when their parents are unhappy. I think it would be better for John to be raised by two parents who love him and are friends with each other, rather than two parents who are married but are unhappy and keep fighting."

"Thank you Ben, for understanding."

"I'm always going to be there for you Amy, always."

Amy hugged Ben, glad to have her friend back. She tried pushing away the memory of Ricky asking her if she was madly in love with Ben. To be honest, she didn't know, but she was ready to find out.
