I wake up the next morning and remember what happened. Ricky and I had sex. I didn't have any reason to stop him. Sure I got scared a few times but I'm ok. I look in the kitchen and see Ricky making breakfast.
He looks up and sees that I'm awake. "Morning."
"Good morning." I say stretching.
"Want some breakfast?" He asks.
"Sure." I smile.
I get out of bed and walk into the kitchen. I give Ricky a kiss and I grab a plate.
After breakfast I get dressed. It's Monday so I have to go to school. When I get to school I see Grace and Adrian talking at Graces locker.
"Hey guys." I say.
"Hey." Grace says.
"Why do you look so happy?" Adrian asks me.
"Ok you guys tell no one." I say. They nod. "Alright, last night Ricky and I had sex."
They gasp. "Seriously?" Adrian asks and I nod. "Ben and I had sex last night too."
"So Grace are you ever gonna have sex with Jack again?" I ask her.
"Yeah, after we get married." Grace says.
Adrian looks at her phone and gasps. "What?" I ask.
"I have to get to school." Adrian exclaims running out.
"She just came to talk to me really quick." Grace explains.
"Ah, well I have to go put my stuff in my locker. See you later." I say.
I go to my locker and put my books away.
At lunch I'm sitting with Grace. "So what's it like living with my dad?"
She laughs, "you should know, you lived with him for 16 years, I've only been living with him for a month."
"I still wanna know." I tell her.
"Well it's pretty hectic." She laughs again. "He and my mom aren't exactly...quiet."
"Ugh Grace I really did not need to know that!" I exclaim in disgust.
"Hey if I know it, you should too." She giggles.
"Have you heard from Tom?" I ask.
"Not really. Last time we talked he was having fun, but I don't know." She shrugs.
The bell rings and the two of us go back to class. After school and work I take John home. After Ricky's done at work the three of us eat dinner.
A little while later I get a phone call from my mom.
"Mom?" I ask.
"Amyshesgone!" My mother says quickly.
"Mom? Slow down you're crying, I can't understand you." I tell her. Ricky looks confused.
"Amy she's gone." She says still crying.
"W-who?" I ask getting nervous.
"You know Mimsy's health has been really bad lately. She's gone." My mom says sadly.
"S-she's d-dead?" I ask tears streaming down my face.
"Y-yes." My mom cries.
I hang up the phone and put it down with a shaking hand. "What is it?" Ricky asks.
"M-Mimsy's d-dead." I stutter.
"Oh Amy." Ricky says wrapping his arms around me. "I'm so sorry."
My phone rings again and Ricky answers it. "Tomorrow?" He asks. "Alright Anne, thanks, I'll tell her." He hangs up the phone. "The funerals tomorrow."
I nod and lie down.
The next day I get a note from the counselor allowing me to have the day off to go to Mimsy's funeral.
Ashley's there, I haven't seen her in a while. I give her a hug which she surprisingly returns.
My mom, dad, Mimsy's husband, and some of her friends give some speeches and we have a small gathering and we go home.
Ricky and I are laying on the couch. "I can't believe she's gone." I say sadly.
"I know and I'm so sorry Amy." He says.
"She didn't remember me anyway." I tell him.
"She loved you." He reminds me.
"I know." I say.
