I woke up, being shaken by Ricky.

"Why is Ben in the shower?" I asked. Ricky turned on the light.

"What are you talking about? It's three in the morning. You were having a nightmare."

I laughed at myself and Ricky smirked. He kissed me. I pulled away. I took his hand in mine and I fell asleep again.

I woke up to Ricky asleep right next to me. He was facing away from me. I wrapped my arms around his body, and latched one of my hands on my other wrist. Ricky took my hand. He started to play with my fingers. I smiled.

"Good morning." I said.

"Hey baby." He flipped to face me and smiled. I kissed him gently on his lips and got up to get dressed. I took a shower, and put on a pair of maternity jeans and a loose-fitting green top. Ricky came out of the bathroom from taking a shower after me. He put on a pair of jeans and his layered shirts. I smirked. I put on my flip-flops. I walked out the front door and out into the grass. I didn't hear anything behind me, so I figured Ricky would be out in a minute. I waited for almost four minutes, so I turned around. Ricky was standing right behind me. I bumped into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. I pulled away and stuck my tongue out at him. I turned away and started to walk down the sidewalk. I heard him run after me and felt him put his hands on my waist from behind. I turned around and he kissed me repeatedly.

RICKY'S POV

I chased after her. I grabbed her from behind. She stopped. She turned to me and I started to kiss her. I felt her smile. I pulled away and took her hand in mine. We started to walk toward the park.

"So what do you want to do about school?" I finally asked, after about 10 minutes of silence. Amy stopped. She let go of my hand. I turned around.

"I don't have a choice. I have to go back to Grant."

I paused. She was right.

"What if I could convince Lucy to homeschool you?"

She kissed me. Now all I had to do was convince Lucy to homeschool her. This wouldn't be easy." I took her hand in mine again. We wandered around the park. I walked her to a bench. We sat down. She stared at the ground, thinking. A tear ran down her cheek. I touched her face gently with my fingers.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing. This is just a really bad bench. This is where Ben…" She trailed off.

"This is where he…?" She nodded. It was where Ben had asked her to marry her all those weeks ago. Another tear ran down her cheek. I wiped it away and pulled her close to me. She leaned her head on my shoulder and a few more tears fell and landed on my shirt, but I didn't care. I knew I was comforting her. I slid my hand down to her waist. I started to rub her side. She looked up at me. There was makeup running down her face. I kissed her.

"Can we go home?" She asked.

I nodded. She considered it home? I smiled at her. She bit her lip. I held her hand and we walked back to my – our house. We walked in. Amy went upstairs to fix her makeup. I touched Lucy on the back. She turned around.

"What?" She asked, with an annoyed tone.

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"Depends. What's the favor?"

"Will you homeschool Amy? She can't go back to school because Adrian and Ben are after her."

She sighed. "Fine. But only because I'm looking out for Amy. It's not a favor to you."

I smiled. I gave her a hug. She reluctantly wrapped her arms around me. I pulled away.

"Thank you?"

I started to walk away. I felt a hand grab my wrist. I turned around.



"You really love her don't you?"

"Yeah," I bit my lip and smiled, "I do."

She smiled at me. Not a fake smile, but a real, genuine smile. She was happy that I found someone that I loved, that loved me back. I walked upstairs to find Amy fast asleep on my bed. I smiled and sat down. I shook her gently. She woke up and looked up at me. She rubbed her eye.

"Hi." She said. I started to kiss her. She was kissing back and I pulled away.

"Lucy said she would home school you, but I'm going back to school tomorrow." I smirked at her. I kissed her again. She started kissing back, and she pulled away. I smiled at her. I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I took it out. I looked down. INCOMING CALL FROM:

Adrian Lee

I ignored it. I felt it vibrate and looked down. NEW VOICEMAIL. I rolled my eyes. I pressed end and looked at the time. It was already 7:30. I went into the bathroom and put on some pj pants. I sat on my bed and waited for Amy to come out of the bathroom. She was wearing shorts and a tank top. She sat down next to me. I got up and turned on the TV and DVD player. I put in The Notebook and pressed play. I sat back down next to Amy on my bed and we started watching. I put my arm around her, and we layed down, my arm around her back. I pulled the covers up to our shoulders. I kissed her and she kissed me. I moved from her lips, to her cheek, slowly moving down to her neck. She giggled. She pulled away and looked back at the TV. I sighed and smirked. She fell asleep in the middle of the movie, so I turned it off. I went and layed back down next to her. I kissed her gently on the cheek and fell asleep.

I woke up to a gentle shaking. I opened my eyes, and saw Amy looking down at me. I sat up and kissed her on the lips, very softly.

"What time is it?" I asked her.

She looked over at the clock, and said, "Six. Time for you to get ready for school." She kissed me and got up to get dressed. I got in the shower and when I got out, I put on jeans and my trademark layered shirts. I picked up my backpack and walked downstairs. Amy was sitting at the table with Lucy teaching her.

"I need to steal Amy away for a minute."

She smiled and I took Amy's hand and led her toward the front door. I leaned in close to her face and we kissed. I pulled away a little and whispered, "I'm gonna miss you." I kissed her again. She pulled away, bit her lip and smiled. She hugged me and walked back to the table. I walked out the door, and drove off to school. Today was gonna be hard for me.
