Thank you to everyone who reads our story. Sorry it took awhile for the update! Please leave feedback and comments to let us know if we should continue this story.
Amy POV
I'm packing my clothes and preparing for our trip to Arizona. Ricky is just lying down on my bed pouting.
Ricky: "I wish you didn't have to go spend Thanksgiving at your dads."
Amy: "Well that makes two of us. My mom wants our whole family to be there. Why don't you come with us?"
Ricky: "I can't leave Dad and Ben on Thanksgiving, especially without my mom here."
Amy: "I understand I'm so sorry Ricky."
Ricky: "Don't be sorry. So Jake is going? Are you planning on seeing Mike too?"
Amy: "Jake is family. No I don't plan on seeing Mike."
Ricky: "Okay, Make sure you don't forget about me."
Amy: "That would never happen."
My mom walks in my room and says "Amy we have got to get going." I reply "Okay Mom." Ricky gets up and I go over to him, he holds me and we kiss. After our long kiss I say "I'm going to miss you baby" He says "I'll miss you too, I love you"
Amy: "I love you too"
Jake, my mom, and I leave for the airport, it was a nice short flight. We get to our hotel near my dad's house.. Before we even get up to our room my phone rings and it's my dad.
Dad: "Hey Ames, where are you?"
Amy: "Hi dad, we are about to go to our hotel room."
Dad: "Why don't you stay here?"
Amy: "Mom doesn't want to run into your girlfriend or cause drama."
Dad: "She is out of town and there will be no drama."
Amy: "I'll talk to mom and see what she says"
After I hang up with my dad, I talk to my mom and she agrees to stay at my dad's house. We get there and I immediately go up to my room and call Ricky to let him know we got here safely and that I'm going to take a nap.
I go downstairs to eat Thanksgiving dinner with my family before I start to eat I text Ricky "Happy Thanksgiving, I miss you already and enjoy your dinner!" He text me back "You too and I miss you more!"
After dinner I'm in the living room talking to Ricky on the phone and the doorbell rings and I ignore it and Jake yells from the other room "I'll get it."
Amy: "How was your dinner?"
Ricky: "It was good, how was yours?"
Amy: "Good, my dad is a good cook, much better than my mom."
Ricky: "That's cool; dad gave our cooks the day off so we attempted to cook everything."
Amy: "Aww that's cool."
Ricky: "Yeah, it was a lot of fun."
Just then Jake and Mike walk into the living room and Mike comes over and hugs me.
Mike: "Hey beautiful, I've missed you and Happy Thanksgiving!"
Amy: "Oh thanks Happy Thanksgiving Mike. I'm going to go upstairs and finish talking to my boyfriend."
Mike: "Oh you have new a boyfriend."
I leave and go upstairs to my room.
Amy: "Sorry about that."
Ricky: "Sorry, that's bullshit. You said you weren't going to see him."
Amy: "I didn't invite him. I didn't even know he was coming."
Ricky: "Whatever, that's crap Amy. Maybe I'll go run into Brooke or Adrian."
Amy: "Quit playing, I already went to my room and shut my door. What else do you want me to do?"
Ricky: "Whatever I've got to go!"
Amy: "Ricky, come on don't be like that!"
Ricky: "It's fine, go spend time with him."
Amy: "No, even if I hang up I'm just going to stay in my room."
Ricky: "I'll talk to you later."
Ricky POV
I can't believe that creep is at her house, I'm so angry at her. I go into Ben's room to talk to him and see if he wants to go out.
Ben: "What's wrong with you?"
Ricky: "Nothing."
Ben: "oookay, you look upset."
Ricky: "Just Amy is driving me crazy. she is hanging out with her ex-boyfriend Mike."
Ben: "That sucks. It's not like you to be jealous like this though?"
Ricky: "Shut up Ben."
Ben: "Touchy"
I go back to my room and watch TV before falling asleep. Amy called me twice but I just ignored her. The next evening I get a call from the guys on the team because they want to go hang out at the bowling alley. We start bowling and a few girls from our school show up to bowl with us.
Zoe comes and wraps her arms around me and says "No Amy, Oh darn what ever will we do". I just laugh at her remark
Madison POV
Lauren and I just got to the bowling alley to go bowling with Jesse and his teammates. As we are walking up to the bowling lanes, I see Zoe hanging on Ricky and I take a picture with my cell phone. I tell Lauren to hang on second so we can watch them and see what they are doing. A little later I see them sitting extremely close waiting for their turn to bowl, Ricky starts whispering in her ear and I take another picture. I say to Lauren "Once a dog, always a dog. One more picture and then we will go"
Zoe and Ricky are sitting there flirting, it's his turn to bowl and Zoe runs up to steal his shot, he rushes up from behind her and throws his arms around her waist and pulls her close to him, she turns and wraps her arms around him and they both start laughing. I take another picture and say to Lauren "Poor Amy".
Lauren: "We should call her right now"
Madison: "Call her from your phone and I will text her the pictures"
Lauren pulls out her phone and calls Amy.
Amy: "Hello"
Lauren: "Hey, did you get the photos Madison just sent you."
Amy: "Not yet, what's up?"
Lauren: "I'm so sorry but Ricky is playing you."
Amy: "What are you talking about?"
Lauren: "He is here at the bowling alley with Zoe and they can't keep their hands off each other."
Amy: "No, I don't believe you."
Lauren: "Check the pictures."
Amy POV
My heart sinks into my chest I can't believe he is doing this to me. I check my text to see the pictures and I start to cry.
Lauren: "Amy, don't cry he is so not worth it. You can do 100 times better."
Amy: "I've got to go."
Lauren: "Are you okay? Sorry we didn't know what else to do."
Amy: "No, I'm glad you told me."
I hang up and text Ricky "Don't ever call or text me again! We are so over. I hope Zoe was worth it." Then I call Jennifer to see what is up.
Jennifer: "Hey."
Amy: "Hey, we should hang out I need to get hammered."
Jennifer: "There is a party at Mike's house because his parents are out of town."
Amy: "Let's go!"
Jennifer: "Are you sure? You sound like there is something wrong."
Amy: "I'm just peachy, drop it."
Jennifer picks me up and we go to the party. We are drinking and having a blast. Everyone is playing fun drinking games etc. Ricky must have got my text and is calling me, I hit ignore. An hour later he calls again and this time I am drunk off my ass and I answer.
Amy: "Quuuit wasting your time. Youuuu and Zoe had fun your fun and now it's my turn."
Before he can saying else I start laughing and say "Mike, get over here sexy."
Ricky: "Are you drunk Amy?"
I laugh and hang up on him. Mike and I go up to his room and start making out. He stops and says
Mike: "I thought you had a boyfriend."
Amy: "Not anymore baby."
The next morning the sun is shining so bright and I have the hugest headache, I notice I'm in Mike's arms and half naked. I jump up and put on my clothes, then I go to find Jennifer to get out of there.
Amy: "We have to leave now!"
Jennifer: "What did you do?"
Amy: "I don't know, I think I slept with Mike."
Jennifer: "What?!"
Amy: "I was super drunk, I don't remember but I woke up half naked in his arms."
Jennifer: "What? I would want to remember that haha"
Amy: "Not me, this was a mistake. I don't know how I'm going to tell Ricky about this."
Jennifer: "You don't, you broke up with him."
Amy: "I guess you are right but I feel bad. He has called me like 5 times."
Jennifer: "Why is he calling? Because he cares or because he is jealous."
Amy: "No, I know he cares."
Jennifer: "Either way he cheated and you need to move on."
Amy: "I know it's just that I love him."
Jennifer: "I didn't want to say anything but Jake said he is known for being a player. How do you know he just didn't play you? He probably started that first fight on purpose so he could go do whatever he wanted when you were out of town."
Amy: "Wow I didn't even think of that, how can I be so stupid?"
Jennifer: "You are not stupid, you were just in love. You got to remember California guys are going to be different than Arizona guys."
Amy: "I guess you are right. I just thought he was different and the one for me."
Jennifer: "It's way too soon to tell that. You still have college and there is going to be tons of guys there. I've always felt you were meant to be with Jake. "
Amy: "We are just close friends."
Jennifer: "Yeah, I wish he would be that close with me."
At this point Jennifer and I get to my dad's house. We go to my room to continue talking.
Jennifer: "You need to delete him off Facebook, take off your relationship status and delete the photos of you and him. It's like ripping off a Band-Aid. It will sting a little but it is better to do it all at once and get it over with."
Amy: "I don't know if I'm ready to do all that yet."
Jennifer: "You don't want to be your mom getting cheated on again and again. You always said you weren't going to be that girl."
Amy: "You're right. Let's do this."
