Here's chapter 7. I want 10 reviews for this before I write the next chapter.

"Ricky, I think you should go back to your house." My mom told him as we all three stood outside of Adrian's condo.

"I think so, too." He replied politely. I frowned. My mom got in the car and waited for me.

Ricky walked over to me and said quietly, "I'll be there soon," and he kissed me. I nodded and got in the car with my mom. We waited for Ricky to drive off before we did.

"So, is everything alright.. between you two?" My mom asked.

"I guess so." I answered her nervously.

"I really don't think you should be with him. He cheated on you."

"No he didn't." I said firmly.

"Well, he was going to. That still counts as cheating. You were better off being with Ben."

"No, I am not better off with Ben. I don't love Ben. I love Ricky. And he didn't cheat on me, so that's all that matters." Although I was still very upset with Ricky, I couldn't deny that I loved him.

We didn't say much more after that. It took us around 5 minutes to get home. We pulled in the driveway, and walked out into the dark night. There was a thunderstorm, and it was also pouring down rain. I walked inside and saw Ashley and my dad in the kitchen with John.

"Hey Ames." My dad greeted me as I walked through the door.

I smiled a small smile and said,"You can leave now if you want."

I didn't wait for him to answer. I took John and carried him into my room with me and shut the door. I put him in his bassinet, and then I laid down on my bed. I heard something at the window, so I got up and saw Ricky. I opened it for him, and he came in.

"I told you I'd be here." He smiled. I didn't say anything, so he continued, "Are you still mad at me?"

I sat back down on the bed and nodded. "Of course I am."

"Yeah," he said, sitting down beside me,"I figured you were. What can I do so you won't be mad at me?"

"I don't know. Nothing right now." I answered.

He put his hand on mine and said," I really am sorry."

I couldn't say anything. All I could think of was when I saw him with her and how terrible I felt. At least he didn't sleep with her, but I bet he would have if I hadn't come. Finally, I found my voice, but all I could say was,"I know you are."

"So, where was John while you were over at Adrian's house?" Ricky asked.

"My dad and Ashley watched him." I answered.

"And how did you find out about..you know..?"

I sighed. "Adrian texted me."

"I thought so." He replied, playing with my hair. "You're so beautiful, Amy. I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled, struggling to keep my eyes open. I didn't realize how tired I was until just now.

He smiled back at me and gently picked me up and laid me down on the other side of the bed, and we both laid under the covers. I didn't really want to go to sleep, although I was tired.

Ricky put his hand around my waist as he kissed me, then he pulled away and said, "We're finally completely alone."

I laughed and answered,"Well, not completely. John is in here with us, and my mom is in the living room."

"Oh right, I forgot." He said playfully, smirking.

I laughed and kissed him again. I didn't know why I was so happy right now, especially because of what happened earlier. I guess it's because I'm finally alone with Ricky, and at this moment, I really know that he truly loves me.

Ricky kissed me again, and he started to take his shirt off, but I slapped him. He narrowed his eyes as I pursed my lips together.

"Why'd you do that?" He asked, confused.

"I'm still mad at you." I replied coldly. I spoke quietly incase my mom could hear us.

Ricky simply nodded and sighed quietly. He didn't say anything else as he looked blankly up at the ceiling.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

He looked at me from the corner of his eye and shook his head and said, "Don't be."

We lay there for a while and didn't say anything. I listened to the rain as it poured loudly and the thunder. The dark room lit up every few minutes or so every time the lightning would strike. Ricky breathed out loudly and turned over to hold me as he whispered, "Please talk to me, Amy."

"I don't want to talk." I whispered back to him.

He smiled smugly. "Then what do you want to do?" I knew what he wanted to do, but I was too tired and upset with him, although I didn't really feel like going to sleep either.

"I want to just lay here."

He sighed again. "Are you ever going to forgive me?"

I breathed loudly and sat up. "I guess I already have forgiven you. I'm not really mad at you, I guess I just.. can't believe you went over there. And the worst part is, if I hadn't showed up, I know you probably would have slept with her. And you never would have told me."

He sat up beside me. "No, I wasn't gonna sleep with her. I couldn't stop thinking about you, and I knew it was wrong, so I was going to leave. But then you showed up. I'm sorry, Amy. It's just a habit.. going over there.. I guess."

"More like an addiction." I muttered.

"Yeah," he admitted, "I know. I'm sorry. I promise, I'll never go over there again." I stared into his eyes for a long time, and I could see that he was being honest.

Ben's POV

I picked up my phone and stared at the picture of Amy for a long time. I missed her, breaking up with her was the worst mistake I have ever made in my life, because now she's with Ricky and it's all my fault. I nervously punched a number into the phone, and it rang three times.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey, can I come over?"

"I don't know. It's kind of late."

"Yeah, I know. Is that okay?"

"Fine. I guess."

"Okay. I just need someone to talk to. I'll be over there in fifteen minutes. Bye Adrian." I hung up the phone.

I suddenly felt bad for calling Adrian, and I knew it was a stupid thing to do, but maybe she could help me make Amy jealous. Then Amy would realize she was supposed to be with me. I'm sure Adrian could make Ricky leave Amy alone. He's probably still seeing her anyway.

My driver drove me to Adrian's condo. I got out of the car, and I walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.

"Come in," she said.

I hesitatingly opened the door and slowly walked inside. Adrian was standing there in her robe. "Hey Ben." she said seductively as she smirked. I scowled because she looked exactly like Ricky when she did that.

"Hi Adrian." I said nervously.

"So what'd you want?" She asked me alluringly and laughed. "Not like I don't already know."

"Well actually," I began, apprehensively taking a deep breath, "I was wondering if maybe you could.. help me make Amy jealous so that maybe she would come back to me. And Ricky will come back to you.. unless you're still seeing him. I figured you were. Ricky doesn't seem like the kind of guy who believes in commitment.."

She crossed her arms and pursed her lips together and muttered, "Well obviously Ricky believes in commitment now. He's inlove with her, I know he is. I got him to come over here earlier.. but he wouldn't have sex with me." She looked down at the floor, but then looked back up and smirked. "So, how exactly were you thinking we could make them jealous?"

"Well-" I paused as I nervously looked down, trying to hide my face.

She chuckled and said, "Oh I know what you want."

"Well that,but also I was thinking that maybe we could pretend to be a couple. I am willing to do whatever it takes to get Amy back. I think this might be the only way." I finally looked back up at her. "So is it a plan?"

She smirked and nodded as she said, "It's a plan."

Amy's POV

"I trust you," I told him after he promised to never go back over to see Adrian again. He smiled as he leaned in to kiss me, but I pushed him away as my phone vibrated. "Ugh, sorry,someone's calling." I sat up on the bed and looked at the caller ID. "It's Ben."

"Are you gonna answer?" He asked.

"I- I guess." I stuttered.

I took in a deep breath before I answered my phone. "Hello?"

"Amy?" He asked.

"Yes? Who else would it be?" I snapped at him and rolled my eyes, looking over at Ricky as he chuckled.

"I knew it was you. I just, uh-" He stopped, and I heard someone say something in the background, then he suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

"What's it to you?" I asked him. I waited for him to respond, but he didn't say anything. I sighed loudly and said, "I'm with Ricky. You woke me up," I lied. Ricky stared at me with a confused look on his face.

I heard talking in the background again before Ben spoke, "Oh, you're with Ricky? Well I'm with Adrian."

I gasped in horror, I couldn't believe he was with Adrian. Ricky scrunched his eyebrows together and I just shook my head and said sharply into the phone, "I don't care."

"You don't?" He asked.

"No, I don't. Why did you call me? Just to tell me that? You must want something, Ben, so go ahead and tell me. I'm waiting." I was annoyed. Every time I was finally alone with Ricky, Ben had to get in the way of everything.

"Look, Amy, Adrian and I are coming over there right now." He said. I heard her yell at him in the background.

"What? No you aren't! It's two in the morning!"

"I don't care!" He yelled at me, "I need to see you right now, and we need to talk this through! Adrian, Ricky, You, and I need to talk about this because we're all with the wrong people here! You belong with me, Amy, why can't you see that?"

"Because it's not true," I said loudly. "You can't always get everything you want. And you broke up with me! So why don't you just leave me alone? I'm with Ricky, stop trying to break us up!"

"But I love you. Please, please come back to me. I'm sorry I broke up with you. That was a terrible mistake, and I will regret it every day that you are not with me."

"Well, I guess you're just going to have to regret every day for the rest of your life, because I will never come back to you." I said coldly.

"Please," he said quietly into the phone,"Let us come over there and work this out."

I laid back on the bed and said,"No. There is nothing to work out. Bye." I hung up the phone and threw it at the end of the bed, but it landed on the floor. I put my head on Ricky's chest as he stroked my hair.

"So, what'd he say?" Ricky asked.

"He's with Adrian, and he wanted to come over here with her so would could 'work' this out, but there's nothing to work out. Apparently he wants to get back together with me." I quietly told him.

"Why is he with Adrian?" Ricky asked angrily.

"I don't know," I said, more as a question than a statement. But then I nervously looked away from him, taking deep breaths before I spoke. Then I finally got the courage to say what I wanted to say. I closed my eyes and whispered, "You still care about her, don't you?"

"What?" He asked. I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me curiously. I knew he heard me.

"You still care about her, don't you?" I said louder, my voice harsh and tense.

Ricky sighed loudly and nervously, but still he didn't take his eyes off of mine. His voice sounded uneven as he spoke. "No I don't care about her. Please believe me. You are the only one I will ever love." I looked into his eyes and I saw honesty and truth in them.

"It's so good to hear you say that." I said. I was smiling, but there were also tears in my eyes. Ricky pulled me closer to him and wiped my tears away. "I guess Ben was trying to make me jealous. But.. it didn't work." I smiled brighter.

Ricky smirked and said, "Well, let's give him somethin' to be jealous about."

I smiled back at him. "Okay."

Ricky carefully placed me on top of him and began to kiss me for a while, but then I pulled away, suddenly remembering the door was unlocked. "Lock the door." He nodded and smiled as he got up from the bed and walked over to lock the door. He laid back down on the bed beside me and continued to kiss me. I looked down at my phone which was vibrating, and I sighed. "Ugh! I'm sorry, hold on."

"Who is it this time?" He frustratingly asked.

"It's Adrian. I guess I'll answer it. She probably won't leave me alone until I do." I said. I answered the phone, but I didn't say anything. I waited for her to say something first, becuase she was the one who called. She obviously had a lot to say.

"Hello? Amy?" She asked.

"What do you want?" I said rudely.

"I know you're with him. Why don't you just leave him alone?" She yelled at me over the phone. I heard Ben saying something in the background.

"Who?"

"You know who. Ricky. You're with him right now, I know you are. Ben told me, because he's here with me right now. Just stay away from him okay? Do not sleep with him! He doesn't care about you, Amy, he cares about me! You are supposed to be with Ben, and I'm supposed to be with Ricky!"

"Ben already told me all of this. I am NOT supposed to be with him. I am supposed to be with whoever I want to, and I want to be with Ricky. I will sleep with him if I want to. It's none of your business. Stop calling me!"

"Fine. You can have him, I don't care. I'm interested in Ben, anyway. I think I'll have sex with him. You tell Ricky that. He'll be jealous, I know he will." And with that, she hung up the phone. I breathed heavily and threw the phone down on the bed. I wasn't jealous, but it bothered me that she was going to sleep with him.

"Well?" Ricky asked. "What'd she want?"

"She's.. gonna sleep with Ben." I said. It surprised me how much I had to struggle to get the words out right.

Ricky laughed smugly. "I doubt it."

"No, she is. I know she is. She sounded serious." I said slowly.

"Adrian's never serious."

"Well, I don't really care anyway. They think they're going to make us jealous, but I'm not jealous. I could care less."

"Good." He said, "I don't care either. Forget about them, okay? The only thing that matters right now is you and me. Turn your phone off, I don't want any more interruptions." I nodded and picked up my phone and turned it off, then I quickly tossed it on the floor.

"I love you, Ricky." I whispered.

"I love you too. Always." He whispered back to me and leaned over to kiss me as he put me back on top of him. "Are you sure you want to do this? We could wait."

"No, I'm sure." I smiled. I couldn't believe that this was finally happening.
