Chapter 21
*Ricky POV *
"what the hell Ben, what are you doing here and why do you need to see Amy" I asked "I need to see her because I love her" Ben said his words slurring. "oh god Ben are you drunk" I asked. "yes... Yes I am" Ben said. I grabbed him by the arm into the apartment. When I let go he fell to the ground laughing. I went to the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and got him two aspirins, and a cup of water. I walked back into the living room, "here take these" I said handing him the aspirins and water. He ripped open the pack and swallowed the two pills. "look Ben Amy is sleeping right now, and I understand that you love her..., wait a minute why am I telling you this your drunk" I said. I picked Ben up off the floor "Ricky buddy o pale, just... Just let me talk to Amy" Ben slurred "ok ok you go to johns room and sleep in the bed and when you wake up you can talk to Amy" I told him. "thanks Ricky" Ben said as I threw him on the bed and walked out. I climbed back into bed with Amy. "Ricky was that Ben" she asked "yea babe he's drunk so I let him sleep in johns room" I said. "poor Ben" she whispered. "yea and he wants to talk to you in the morning before school" I said. She nodded and we drifted back to sleep.
*Amy POV*
That morning I woke up to the smell of pancakes and eggs. Ricky must be cooking. I got up and heard the shower running and then i remembered Ben little visit last night he must be in the shower. I tied my rob and walked in to the kitchen, Ricky was standing over the stove stirring something in a pot. I walked up behind him and put my arms around his waist "good-morning Ricky" I said. "hey babe, taste this" he said putting a spoonful of whatever he was making. It was an amazing taste between strawberries and vanilla "mmm babe this is delicious what is it" I said. He began chuckling "it's a type of sauce that you put over pancakes, it's a different taste than just your regular syrup, my foster mom showed me." he said. He spun around and I like my lips savoring the taste, Ricky leaned down and kissed me passionately. I heard some one clear their throat and me and Ricky broke apart. "oh hey Ben" I said. "hi Amy, hi Ricky, listen sorry and thanks for last night" he said. We shook our head "no problem" Ricky said. "um Amy can we talk please" Ben said. " yea sure" I said. We walked into the living. "so Ben what do we have to talk about, I'm with Ricky there's no chance - " I said, Ben cut me off "no amy this isn't about us, I need to tell you something, while I was gone me and Adrian some type of way got closer, she would visit me on weekends, we were never committed but there was feelings, but while Adrian wasn't there I met someone name Dylan, and we hooked up a lot, so about a week ago Adrian called and we became a couple, and last night Dylan called and said she was pregnant and now I don't know what to do" Ben said. I took a moment to process everything Ben just told me. Either he can tell Adrian and risk losing her or not tell Adrian and she finds out and she still leaves him. "um Ben I don't know what to tell you, but you should really tell adrian she has a right to know but you guys really like each other the way you say you do you guys will figure it out, but drinking isn't going to solve anything" I said. Ben let out a deep sigh. "ok your right Amy thanks, I think I know what I'm going to do, and Amy I hope we can be friends again" he said. "yea sure Ben, see you at school" I said. I went back into the kitchen where Ricky had breakfast ready. We ate breakfast and headed off to school on the way I told Ricky everything Ben had told me.
*Ricky POV*
Even though Ben is in the situation I still feel bad for Adrian this will be the second guy she loses to a pregnant girl, but then maybe she will stick by ben because of the feelings she have for him. We pulled up to the school and as soon as we got out Adrian and grace ran over to us as they do every day. "hey you guys" they both said. "hey" Amy said I nodded their way as I saw jack who waved me over. "babe I'll see you in first block, I'm going to catch up with jack" I leaned down and kissed her "ok" she said giving me a smile. "what's up man" I said giving jack a hand shake. "you missed the drama of all that is Ben, this morning" jack said. "what happened" I asked jack shook his head " some redhead chick came and started yelling about him and Adrian and something about her being pregnant, I didn't catch everything but I'm pretty sure she said Adrian was pregnant." I shook my head this Is how rumors get started "no Adrian isn't pregnant the redhead ... Dylan that's her name is, does Adrian know" I asked him." he shook his head no "she just got here a minute ago" he said "this is gonna be a long day" I said just as the bell rung.
