Summary: Adrian feels lost after Ricky breaks up with her. She doesn't know who she can turn to. Grace tries to help but she can't get through to her. Amy flaunts about having Ricky as her boyfriend and it's just making things worst. Will everyone lose the Adrian they remember or can they help her?
Summer is over, great. Back to school, fun. At least I finally get to see Grace again, hope she had fun at medical camp, or whatever to she went to. Ben is staying in Italy, lucky him. Broke up with Amy, I wonder how she took it? And me, I hung out with my parents! Fun, I know. Ricky has been avoiding me all summer. But, since school starts again tomorrow, I will find him. These were all my thoughts I had before I went to bed the night before.
I enter the school building and head straight to my locker, placing my backpack in there when I spot Ricky coming over.
"Hey." He says. God, how I love hearing his voice
"Haven't seen you all summer." I said trying to play it cool.
"Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you. I was just trying to figure out how I should say it. So, I'll say it. It's ov-"
"Hey Ricky." said Amy, I really hate this girl. Wait, I don't hate her I just really dislike her. And oh my god she did not just rap her arm around Ricky!
"Hi Amy." I said trying to sound like her arm around Ricky's waist wasn't bothering me.
"Hi." She said slightly with an attitude, what was her problem. "Ricky, you didn't tell her?" Tell me what?! I said to myself.
"Don't worry Amy, I'll tell her now."
"Tell me WHAT!!" I said getting annoyed.
"It's over, Adrian." Ricky bluntly said.
"Yeah, over the summer, Ricky and I learned that since we have a son together we have a bond that runs deeper than you and Ricky, and Ben and I ever had and that the time you spent with him was nothing special, the only thing you were good for was sex." Amy bragged
"I have to go." I said heading to the doors that lead out of the school. Don't cry. Do Not Cry in front of Ricky and Amy. I feel my eyes start to burn as I exit the school building. Before I know it tears are streaming down my face. Now I'm running towards my car in fear someone will see me cry when I'm stopped by someone's pink book bag. It's Grace.
"Oh my god, Adrian! I haven't seen you in forever!! How are -" Grace noticing how upset I was asked, "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine." I said trying to play it cool, but clearly failing.
"You don't look fine." Now this is where Grace goes all doctor on me. She puts her hand on my shoulder bends down and looks me straight in the eye and gets a little too close in my personal space and asks if I'm all right. Since I don't feel like lying to her now. I mutter a few words.
"Ricky…..broke….up……with……me……for…..Amy…." I said and this made me lose it I started bawling like a little girl and before Grace could hug me I ran into my car. Ignoring Grace calling my name, I drove away.
"ADRIAN!!! Come Back!!!!" I shouted. It was too late she already drove away. Not sure where she's going, but I'll worry about that later. Right now I have to figure out what Ricky did to make her so upset.
I'm strolling into school with my pink backpack since; we all know carrying it over our shoulders can cause major back problems. When I spot Ricky and Amy making-out, I don't want to break it up since that would be rude but I do anyways because, well, Adrian is my friend and Ricky had to have done something really and I mean really horrible to make Adrian this upset. So I march on over and tap Ricky on the shoulder and he turns to me and smiles.
"Grace, nice to see you, how was your summer?" Ricky politely asks, but I know he's just trying to throw me off.
"Cut, with the crap. What the hell did you say to Adrian?!" I yelled. I know it was kind of rude but I wasn't playing any games with him. And then Amy tries to say something witty and insults Adrian.
"Figures she send a saint to do the devil's dirty work." Was what Amy said with her eyes slightly rolled. I don't know about you, but that would make anyone go over the edge. But since me, being the polite girl decided to ignore her comment and move on.
"So, Ricky what did you say to her?" this time patiently asked.
"I just said it was over and that Amy and I were going out." He or Amy had to have said something else to make her that upset. This is when Amy decided to speak up again.
"I told her Ricky never really liked her. And that all the time they spent together was nothing special. All she was good for was sex. Isn't that right Ricky?" instead of waiting for an answer and swearing my head off I decided to walk away and head to class and hope for the day to end quickly so I can make sure Adrian is ok.
I finally make it back to my parent's apartment and see a note on the table saying that they were going to Rome for a little bit and will be back in two weeks. Thanks for telling me I thought to myself. I was upset, hurt, and angry that he chose Amy over me. And I so wanted to kill Amy for saying those things, but I had a better option. I walked over to the kitchen counter, opened one of the draws, and pulled out the sharpest knife I could find. One I had it in my hand I dragged it over to my left wrist and cut, not deep enough to kill me, but deep enough to feel all my pain drip away. I finally didn't feel so lost.
