Amy's POV

A week had passed by; Ricky only came one day that week. When he did, he didn't say anything to me. He just walked upstairs to see John. It was getting harder and harder without him being around. At night I tried reassuring myself that everything would be okay, it'd help me get to sleep. At this point I'm lying to myself just to get through the day.

When I woke up Friday morning I looked at my clock. 5:30. John hadn't woke me up once. I walked in to make sure that he was okay, he was still sleeping. I quietly walked into the bathroom and took a shower. I got changed and woke John up to get him ready. My mom drove me over to the daycare and dropped me off at school. I walked through the halls lonely and tired. I opened my locker and took out my books. I saw Ricky by Adrienne's locker. She was mad, once again. Ricky yelled at her, he had the same expression on his face, filled with hurt and anger. Once he walked away from her he passed by me. I kept looking at him but he turned the other way. Grace walked over to me.

"I guess you heard." Grace said.

"Heard what?" I asked.

"Adrienne cheated on Ricky with Ben." She said.

"Oh my gosh. " I said in shock. I couldn't believe she'd do that. "Wait aren't you two friends?" I asked.

"No, she got all angry at me for two reasons, one being that I'm dating jack again after he hurt me. And Two, because I tried telling her not to cheat on Ricky." She said.

"Oh I'm sorry grace." I told her.

"It's alright. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm good thanks. I'm sorry Grace I need to get to class early." I said and ran off to my science room.

Before I knew it I was sitting at a lunch table. I had to sit inside today due to the pouring rain. I sat alone today; I didn't feel like talking to anyone. Even Madison and Lauren ditched me. What "fantastic" friends they are.

"Are you alright?" a familiar voice asked.

"Yeah I'm just tired." I said.

"You can go to the nurse if you're not feeling well." The person said, when they sat down I noticed that it was Alice.

"I know, I just haven't got much sleep since John started teething." I said.

"Oh, look I know that I'm 'supposed' to be Ben's friend, but you're my friend too. I know that what he did was wrong. You're better off without him; he doesn't deserve a sweet, caring, and nice girl like you." Alice said.

"Thanks Alice." I said, and we just talked for the rest of lunch.

The end of the day came; I walked out to the parking lot. I saw Ricky walking over to his car. I started running.

"Ricky!" I yelled, trying to be heard over the pounding of the rain on the tops of the cars. "Ricky!" I screamed once again.

Ricky turned around to look at me and stopped moving. He moved to the back end of his car and faced me.

"Ricky, before you do anything just hear me lout please." I started saying, I was out of breath.

"I messed up, I'm sorry. You had every right to say what you said. I'm a jerk and I'm probably the worst friend and mom of the year. I don't deserve to have such a great friend like you. I'm so sorry Ricky I really am, please forgive me. John misses you and I miss you." I said.

He looked at me for a minute, I couldn't figure out what his expression said. It looked like a mix between confusion and anger maybe even sadness too.

" What if I didn't forgive you, what if I'm not as nice as you think I am?" He asked.

"I know you will Ricky, because you are so sweet and nice. You're such a great father to our son. I know that deep down you'll find a way to forgive me. Ricky the truth is that I was jealous of Adrienne. I hated the fact that you two got together." I said, the rain came down harder. "I love you Ricky! I'm sorry it took so long to figure out. But I love you and I'm in love with you!" I said

He waited a minute he looked at me and smiled. He took my face in his hands and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I love you too Amy! Ever since that kiss in the hospital. I love you so much!" He said. He picked me up and swung me around. I kissed him again, and for once in a really long time I was happy and not tired or sad. I was happy and excited. Today had started a new chapter for me.
