Amy sighed as Ben and Ricky looked at each other. Ben was glaring slightly, and Ricky had somewhat of a smirk on his face. "It's because he came over. Isn't it," Ben asked towards Amy with a bitter tone. Amy looked at Ben incredulously.
"Excuse me? What makes you think I wanted to do anything anyways?" Amy asked in an angry tone.
"Well, you're the one who came to me a week ago saying you wanted to get engaged for real," He stated in a cocky tone.
"Yeah, that was when everything seemed to be going on. Adrian was moving in across the street, my mom was having a baby, my sister and dad had just moved back in… I just wanted an escape Ben, and I'm sorry if you misread that as something else," She stated with a slight frown. "And before you say anything, I didn't mean to lead you on like that. And I'm sorry," Ben stared at her in shock as Ricky continued listening.
"But you said," He began in a low tone. She cut him off before he could continue.
"I know what I said. And as I explained a minute ago… Everything was going on, it was all getting to me. Ben, we're way too young to be getting married," She told him firmly. He sighed but nodded.
"I should get going," He stated quietly as Amy nodded. "I'll see you tomorrow in school, Amy," He walked out with a defeated look on his face. Amy rubbed at her eyes with one hand as Ricky took John from her gently. She smiled weakly as John smiled happily.
"You look exhausted Amy," Ricky whispered, not wanting to speak up, in case she got offended by it. She nodded tiredly as she looked up at Ricky and John. "Why don't you go sleep. I can watch John for awhile," She smiled at his offer and shook her head.
"I've got Robbie too," She gestured towards the baby monitor. "And I can't ask you to take care of my little brother," She mumbled, already half asleep as she sat on the couch.
"It'll be fine. You really should get some sleep Amy," He stated, more firmly this time. Amy looked up at him tiredly and saw the familiar stubborn look in his eyes.
"Alright. Thanks Ricky," She gave him a tired smile. "Wake me up if he starts getting fussy. He was running a fever earlier."
Ricky smiled down at John and sat on the couch. "Really? Is he better now?" His face reflected the concern in his tone. She nodded.
"He's feeling much better. Thanks again Ricky," She stated softly, before turning towards her room. Ricky smiled at John and kissed his forehead. About half an hour later, Ashley let herself in.
"Where's my sister," Ricky looked up and smiled.
"She's sleeping. She was exhausted, I told her I'd watch your brother and John while she slept," Ashley nodded and smiled.
"That's more than Ben would do. Thank you Ricky," Ashley smiled and spoke with a frown. "Mom and Dad will be home soon. You should probably go," Ricky nodded and handed John to her. "Sorry, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah. And it's no problem. I just hope Amy gets some good rest… She looked ready to pass out this morning," Ashley nodded as Ricky walked out.
"Let's get you to bed," John smiled and rested his head on her shoulder. After tucking John in, she went and got ready for bed as well and went to bed.
Amy woke up to the sun shining in through her window. She stretched and got ready for school, leaving John a little more time to sleep. She walked into the babies' room to get John and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. She fried up some eggs for herself and got John's breakfast ready as well. Amy got John ready, and walked out to her mom's car and strapped him in. After getting him to the nursery, her mom dropped her off at school. Usually, school wasn't horrible… But the minute she walked in the front door, Ben walked up and looked angry.
"What now, Ben?" Amy asked. She was irritated about last night. Who was he to jealous.
"I wanna know what happened last night when I left," He demanded. She could tell by the way he nervously played with his hands that he felt bad about the way he demanded an answer.
"Nothing happened! Ricky took John and sat on the couch, and I went to sleep after he offered to watch John and Robbie. Which is more than you were willing to do last night," She snapped. Ben stared at her wide eyed. "I'm going to class before I smack you or something."
Ben watched as she stalked off towards her first class. He groaned and rubbed at his eyes aggravated. "I don't understand why she's being so bitchy about it," He complained as Henry and Alice walked up. What he hadn't noticed was Ricky and Adrian were a few steps behind them. Ricky rolled his eyes and walked with Adrian to their health class. They walked in and Adrian noticed Ben was texting someone under his desk with a stupid smile on his face. The smile he used to save for Amy. Adrian smirked as she looked over at Amy who was flipping through the health book carelessly.
"So… I think he did have sex in Italy," She stated to Ricky with a bigger smile on her face. Ricky rolled his eyes at Adrian's smile and let out a sigh. He knew that this wasn't going to end well.
