Authors note: Oh my god. Thank you guys so much for the reviews. I never thought I would get such a response first chapter! Anyways, sorry for not updating sooner, but here's your chapter!


Previously on Four guys:

Why do I never get to be happy? Do the gods look down at me and think " Oh my god, Adrian's happy! We have to make her hate her life now!"

That's is exactly what they do.

I bet you any money.

Which is why I looked up at the sky and screamed at the top of my lungs.

Even after my scream at the heavens, all I could think about was those four guys…


ADRIANS POV:

I walked home, fists clenched. What am I going to do?

So let's put this all together…

I got home from college for the first time in almost a year. I get home only to take a long trip down memory lane. As I start to unpack Ricky calls me and we make time to meet tomorrow. After that, Ben knocks at my door and I agree to go to Ben's house stupidly. Once I begin to freak out a little bit, I get a call from Max. How fortunate…now we are going to catch up. Then I pick up the mail only to find a letter from the one and only, Antonio.

Yup. My life truly sucks.

It's not that I hate them personally or anything because I don't. They are all great guys.

I just hated what all of them put me through. Some say I did it to myself which is true but they were all a big part of it and they all changed my life.

Drastically.

Ricky was the guy who got a girl pregnant, but I was madly in love with him. We went through ups and downs… mainly downs but in the end we still loved each other. I put so much effort into our relationship only for me to sleep with Ben after he kissed Amy. He did cheat on me countless times through our relationships too. If there was one thing I knew for sure was that when I was done with Ricky, I was done with him. I never wanted to deal with any of his drama again. So when I graduated high school, that was one of the promises I made to myself.

To forget Ricky Underwood and all the drama he caused me.

It's harder then I thought.

Now let me tell you about Ben Boykewich. He was madly in love with the girl who got pregnant by Ricky. He was rich, insecure and a push over. When he met Amy, he was a mushy sap who told himself every day how much he loved Amy and was going to marry her. Of course that all changed because he went to Italy for the summer only to get involved with some Italian chick. If I were him too, I'd way rather be with an Italian chick then Amy. She used him and never appreciated all that he did for her. He caused drama in my life too though. He always went to me for advice convincing Amy that he was sleeping with me which lead to her hating me even more. Then when we found out that Amy and Ricky kissed, we slept together. Creating me to have a pregnancy scare. It was one of the most worrisome moments of my life. After that me and Ben rarely talked. Me and Amy rarely talked. Me and Ricky rarely talked. It truly was a life changing time. Another promise I made to myself after high school was important.

To let Ben move on with his life, and let myself move on. No strings attached.

Max was a totally different story. He was my dad's step son. He was the only guy who courted me. Ever. He made me feel like I was perfect and the only girl on the planet. But I didn't love him. He loved me, he truly did but for me it was no where near love. I believe I only stayed with him because I liked feeling special. I never feel special. Only in bed of course. Though he made me feel special even when we were driving, talking, sitting on my couch arguing over movies. When it finally came time to announce our feelings and when he told me he loved me… I backed out. It caused me heartbreak for a while and I do still think about it some times but I promised myself…

Move on and forget him. You don't want to hurt him more then you already have.

Antonio was my first love. He was the guy you grew up with and had a fake wedding, where you wore a princess crown and got a neighbour hood kid to marry you in your parents back yard. I can't remember a childhood memory without him. When we had our first time when we were 15, it probably wouldn't have been the most romantic for other people, but to me it was perfect. I felt like we were the only two people left on the earth. It hurt though. No.. not the physical part. The emotional part when he left. He was diagnosed with cancer and doctors were convinced it was fatal. His family figured they would move across the country to the cancer treatment center. Not only did they do that because it was the best there was, but because it would be easier for him. For me. It left me broken. In a million pieces and I was shattered.

Heart. Soul. Mind.

Which is why I promised myself that I was to move on, but always remember him in the best way possible. Make myself happy because I know that is what he wanted.

It sucks because I was doing so well at keeping these promises.

I guess fate has a different idea in mind.

It was five minutes till noon and Max would be showing up at my door to pick me up. I was wearing a light washed pair of jeans, a black v-neck t-shirt and silver hoop earrings. I had a pair of black boots that went to my knee with about a three-inch heal.

People would question why I was getting so dressed up for guys that I pretended to not care about.

I couldn't even answer. But if I did have to, I'd say 'I'm Adrian. When don't I get dressed up for guys?'

'Such an Adrian answer' my friends would reply.

I heard a car honk outside. When the hell did he stop courting me?

I think it was somewhere between highway-I don't love you- and street-never talked to him again.

Yup, definitely somewhere around there.

I opened my front door and walked through the front lawn. I was holding a white leather jacket in one hand and my purse in another. I walked with pure confidence to his car, but inside… my heart was racing. I could faintly see inside the car and my heart was pounding in my chest. If I didn't know any better, id think he could see my knees shaking. He still looked the same except his hair was longer. His green piercing eyes were drilling holes into me. He wore dark washed jeans, a tight navy t-shirt that hugged everything.

I think I'm going to faint.

I opened the passenger door and sat inside the car. I smelled that new car smell. I think I'm going to be sick.

Not because of the car smell, but because I feel every emotion I ever felt towards him come rushing back.

Like a strong tidal wave, a tsunami.

I'm a natural disaster.

….

We sat in a small sandwich shop down town. He was casually sipping his green tea and taking small bites of his Italian sandwich. I on the other hand got a green salad with a water. I wasn't so hungry. I felt like throwing up instead. There was a comfortable silence which I kind of preferred but he seemed determined to make this as un-awkward as he could. I applauded him for which seeing as I was too much of a coward to say anything.

He finally broke the silence.

" Adrian, I'm glad I get to see you again. I thought for sure I wouldn't." Max spoke in almost a whisper.

" Yeah. I was sure too." I bit the inside of my cheek.

" So, you're going to college right?" He asked while stirring his drink with his straw.

" University actually. Studying law." I said proudly.

" Good for you Adrian. I knew you could do it." Max sighed.

That conversation ended there but I truly wanted to know something.

" Why did you try calling my dad yesterday Max?" I asked. He looked up at me through his light lashes.

" I needed to talk to him. My mom met a new guy and I kind of don't trust him. He seems like the criminal type and I figured he could help. I hope you know that me and him still keep in touch. He practically raised me." He said with an assertive voice.

" I know you do. Listen… I'm sorry if you think that I caused your family to split up. I never intended too. I just wanted a father…" I trailed off.

" So did I…" He whispered.

My heart fluttered.

I hated myself for this.


" Ricky Underwood…" I said smirking.

He was truly looking good. His hair was still the same but a little bit shorter. He looked more built then before. He wore a black t-shirt and a pair of navy jeans. He had a white sweater on and I felt my stomach get butterflies. I bit my lip. He was smiling my favourite smile with two hands in his pockets. I dropped my purse and ran towards him. I jumped and he caught me.

Dramatic? Yes. But I couldn't control myself. His arms seemed like they needed lovin' and so did I.

He kept his arms around me and my legs were wrapped around his waist. He twirled me around. I felt like I was in a movie.

He put me down and looked right in my eyes. His hazel eyes were locked with my chocolate ones.

You'd think things would get uncomfortable but they didn't. It was natural.

Easy.

Right.

Yet so messed up.

" I missed you." Ricky said.

" You too Ricky."

We walked into the coffee shop. He opened the door for me. Very un-Ricky.

" You seem, different. Like your attitude is." I said. He raised an eyebrow.

" How so?" He questioned.

" You seem less of a jackass." I responded bluntly.

" Yeah, you could say that." Ricky smirked.

We sat and drank our coffee and talked. He talked about John a lot. We talked about my school and all the people I met. He even cracked a joke about how he should give Danielle a call. Of course I threatened him that if he even went 100 miles near her, I'd beat him up. He didn't take me seriously of course… that was until I stepped on his foot with my heal. He talked about work and how Bunny retired so he's manager now. Him and Amy are really close now but when he talks about her, he smiles a lot. We talked about everything.

Surprisingly it was a good time.

It took a turn when he kissed me on the cheek.

I felt exactly where he put his lips. It left a weird feeling there.

Here we go again…


" Thanks for inviting me Ben." I stated.

" Oh your welcome Adrian! Can I offer you anything? Juice? Pop? Water?" Ben asked. He is still himself I can see.

" Ben, its like ten o'clock at night. I think I'm good." I laughed. " Sorry for coming late, I lost track of time really." I did feel bad for coming late but I did have two other dates before this.

Wait! No! They weren't dates…

Hell, who am I kidding. They were totally dates.

Ben still was Ben. He hadn't changed. He still had the same style as before. He was wearing a light blue polo shirt with black jeans. His hair was longer and shaggier though.

" I know this might be awkward for you because it is for me too. I just needed to leave things better then they did. When you had a scare, of… you know, it was hard and we didn't even talk about it after. Actually, we didn't talk at all which was stupid. I just needed to talk and get over things really… I kind of miss seeing you around too." Ben bit his lip.

Way to make things less awkward Boykewich.


I walked in the door and threw my bag down. I shrugged off my jacket and shoes and threw them in the closet not even bothering to clean it up. I walked upstairs sluggishly. My parents were both sleeping so I was trying to be quiet.

I opened my bedroom door and walked in. I shut it lightly and carefully and pulled off my shirt. I shimmied out of my jeans and grabbed a pair of pyjamas on my bed. I wore a long t-shirt and terribly short shorts. They were useless to wear because the t-shirt covered them but they were comfortable.

I crawled into bed and instantly fell into unconsciousness.

This day wore me out mentally and physically.

I was abruptly awoken to the sound of someone throwing rocks at my window. I groaned.

Who the hell in their right mind would throw rocks at a persons window!?

I sure as hell am not Rapunzel.

I got out of bed and slid up my window letting a cold breeze rush in.

" Adrian!" A familiar voice called. His voice was pure love.

" Antonio!?"
