It's Too Late to Apologize

Chapter 13

Amy had kept herself busy for the past couple of weeks. She tried to keep her distance from Ricky so that she didn't cave on her reasoning. She also had noticed Adrian had seemingly been trying to apologize to Ricky. The thing that had kept her hopeful was the fact that Ricky seemed completely uninterested in the Latina. He turned her down every time she tried to flirt and when she would start getting irritated he would just walk away. He seemingly was refusing to start anything which had Amy proud of him. She closed her locker and headed out to the parking lot and walked to her car, her eyes on the ground since she had just been looking at her binder. She looked up to see Ricky leaning against her car.

"It's been two weeks. So I'm going to ask now, I know you may say no…But I've waited the minimum amount of time," He smirked at her as she raised her eyebrow. "Are you willing to try dating me?" His smirk changed to a grin and she laughed softly.

"I don't know. You sure you can't wait those last two weeks?" Her tone was playful and he could tell she was merely teasing him at this point. He found himself smirking again now knowing that he was most likely going to get what he wanted.

"I know I can, but I have a feeling that you can't," He teased back. He frowned slightly at the playful look in her eyes. He was worried he may have just messed up the possibility of dating starting tonight.

"Oh really?" She unlocked the car and reached around him to the driver's side back door to put her back pack down. She closed the door and looked up at Ricky, smiling sweetly. She leaned up so she was only an inch away from his face. "Are you sure it's me," She paused at the surprised look on his face. "That couldn't last the next two weeks?" She took a step back as he went to lean down.

"That is not fair," Ricky stated firmly while crossing his arms. He laughed at the smile on Amy's face. "And I thought I could be bad." He shook his head and she shrugged.

"What can I say, I've learned a lot from the people around here," She smiled and then nudged his shoulder slightly. "So do I get to go home or are you going to keep me at my car for the rest of the day? I do need to pick up John you know," She laughed at the conflicted look on his face. "If you want you can come with me." She smiled as he considered it.

"I guess you should be happy I didn't drive to school today," He stated with a smile as he opened the door to let her in. She slid in with a grin and nodded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I am lucky." She smiled. She felt lucky that he was choosing her over Adrian.

After picking up John, the two were sitting at Amy's kitchen table working on some homework as John munched on cheerios in his high chair. Every once in awhile Amy would look up and glance over at Ricky. Her mind still wondered if Ricky and her had any kind of a chance. She would look back down and try to stay focused on her homework.

"So," She looked up at the sound of Ricky's voice. "When are we going to go on this first date?"

She bit her lip and thought for a moment. "I guess that depends on whether the date includes John coming with us or not. If not, we would have to find a babysitter."

"True, but you said your sister was going to be home tonight," He commented while sounding hopeful.

"Yes, but I can't just spring this on her. That's not fair to anyone," Amy reasoned, holding back a laugh at the look on Ricky's face. "We'll go soon though."

Ricky nodded and closed his books. He pulled John out of his high chair and sat back down with John. "Mommy is being mean, Johnny," He joked quietly. Amy raised an eyebrow at Ricky and started giggling when she saw the look John was giving her.

"I am not being mean! Daddy is trying to rush into things, and just wants to leave you here," Amy reasoned with a small smile of her own.

"Nuh uh! I just think a date would be better if it was just the two of us. But hey, if John wants to come, John can come." Ricky stated with a smile on his face. The two were interrupted by a firm knocking on the door.

Amy shook her head at Ricky and groaned when she saw Adrian. She opened the door without a second thought and spoke in as calm a tone as she could muster. "Yes, what can I do for you, Adrian?"

Adrian looked like she had been crying and looked over at Ricky. "I should have known it would happen again. Especially after it happened with Amy. I'm pregnant, Ricky. And it's yours." Amy felt her stomach tighten up as she glanced back at Ricky.

"Are you sure?" He asked quietly. He had every right to not trust the girl at the door. The only thing that was hurting him emotionally at the moment was the fact that Amy looked so hurt.

"Why would I lie to you about something this big?" She asked in tears, secretly relishing in the fact that Amy looked ready to start crying herself.

"So if we did tests, or asked about how far along you are, it's not going to be a little over a month like when you slept with Ben?" Ricky asked suspiciously. He watched the color drain out of Adrian's face. "You totally forgot about that didn't you? Let me know when you figure out the truth, Adrian." He stood up and used his free hand to close the door on Adrian. He then looked down at Amy and looked her in the eyes. "She's lying. We haven't been together in a month and haven't done anything in almost two or three…She has to be lying."

A/n: So it's been a really long time, and I can honestly say I'm not sure what I want to do with this story. If someone wants to come on as a coauthor or just as some sort of advisory person, I think that might be best. I haven't watched this show in awhile, and I feel beyond lost on what I want to have happen. So if anyone has suggestions or would like to help me out, direct message me and maybe we can figure something out. Thanks for reading, sorry for the ridiculously long wait.
