Amy's POV
I woke up around 5:30. I turned around to see Ricky next to me. I had completely forgotten that he was there. I smiled, he was so hot when he was sleeping. I don't know what possessed me to do this but I kissed him, all of a sudden he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.
" Ricky!" I shrieked, I started laughing.
" Goodmorning!" He said.
I kissed him again, he smiled once we pulled apart.
"You really can't expect to kiss me and not expect a hug." He said.
I smiled and got up out of bed. I ent into the nursery to check on John. I saw him staring up at the mobile.
"Goodmorning sweetie." I said picking him up. " Yo're so quiet lately, did those teeth stop hurting?" I asked him.
He smiled and I carried him downstairs. I saw a note on the refridgorator. I placed John in his highchair and took it off the fridge.
Hi I came home very very early this morning. I needed to pick up some food, do you think you could go shopping for me? I left money on the counter. Theres a list on the back of this. Can you pick up my dry cleaning while your there? Im going over David's house again tonight, I'll be back for Lunch. Bye.
I started to get angry, furious. I was never so angry in my entire life. My own mother wants me to do her job becase she has a boyfriend. I have a boyfriend and I can balance motherhood, school, and my relationship!
Ricky came down and kissed me hello.
" What's this?" He asked.
" a shopping list, my mother is too busy spending time with her boyfriend." I said angrily.
" Calm down Amy, I'll help you." He said.
" No, im just so angry with her. She doesn't care about me anymore. She has David, she can't help me with John at all." I said.
" You have me." He said.
"But what happens when you're at work or with your foster mom, or it's 3 in the morning and I need help?" I asked starting to calm down.
" I could move in, or yo could move in with me!" He said excitedly.
" Ricky I would love to. But…." I said.
" The bed situation." He said. " Amy if you don't want to do something I wont make you, and last night was fine, we slept perfectly."
"You're right. I'm going to be out of highschool in a week, I'm going to make my own decisions." I said smiling.
I hugged him, but once we stopped hugging I became sad.
" What's wrong?" He asked.
" I don't want to intrude on you and Margaret. I can't just say that im going to move in. "I said.
" Are you kidding? Margaret has wanted you to move in with me since John was born. She hates the fact that his parents live in two different houses." He said smiling.
" Talk to her first, I'd feel better." I said.
" Alright, I'll call her." He said.
Thank goodness the electricity was back, I needed to make John a bottle. SO while Ricky talked to Margaret I made John breakfast.
" She wants to talk to you." He said handing me his cellphone.
" Okay just feed John his breakfast please." I said.
He started feeding him while I talked to her.
"Hello?" I said.
" Amy, it's Margaret. I'm delighted that you're going to move in! I just would like yo to talk to yor mom. Once she agrees then we can move you in." Margaret said.
Once I finished talking to her, I closed his cellphone. I opened it back up, I saw the banner on his cellphone.
I Love Amy
I smiled and gave it back.
" So?" He asked.
" I need tot alk to my mom, she'll be here in an hour to pick up lunch." I told him.
"Alright lets clean this house up." He said. " Starting with this guy, who needs a bath."
I laughed. Ricky went to go clean John while I cleaned the kitchen.
About thirty minutes later my mom came in the door.
" Hi Amy." She said tiredly.
She opened the refridgorator.
" hy isn't there any food in here?" She asked.
" I didn't have time to go to the store." I said.
"Alright I'll have to go pick something up on the way back." She said starting to walk towards the door.
" Stop." I said, she turned around. " I want to talk to you."
"Amy I don't have time-" she started, I cut her off.
" For your own daughter?" I asked.
She sat down and looked at me.
" Mom I'm sick of this. I'm your daughter, you may be working but it'd be nice if you could come home at night so that I have help when John doesn't stop crying. When wa the last time you were home at night? Maybe the night I brought John home." I said.
"Amy…" She started.
" Let me finish. Mom, it's not ym job to clean this house, go grocery shopping, and pick p your dry cleaning while you're out with your boyfriend. I'm sick of hoping that you'll sleep at your house tonight so maybe I can get a little help and give Ricky a break, who has been over at three in the morning the past few days! You don't even care to see your grandson!" I said.
" Amy! I'm out working my butt of to pay for your baby. Don't you-" she started, I cut her off once again.
"Mom Ricky and I both have jobs, you're working so you can see David, then yo go back to his house! I'm sick of this, Margaret and Ricky have offered me to move in with them. I think I'm going to." I told her.
"Amy I don't think I'm going to allow it." She said.
" Mom! I'm sick of being alone when John's asleep. You said you'd be there for me! You're never around! Please mom, let me go, I'll be happy. I'll come to visit you and dad when you're able to see me." I said.
My mom had tears in her eyes. She knew I was right, she had known it all along. She didn't want to admit it though.
"Amy I'm so sorry, I'll let you go. As long as Margaret says its fine." She said crying, and hugged me.
I left the room, tears fell down the side of my face. I walked upstairs and went into my room. Ricky was there, John was probably in the nursery. He hugged me while I cried.
" It's alright, I promise it'll be okay." He said.
" I'm s-so mean to h-her." I said in between my sobs.
" No Amy, you're right. She was the wrong one here." He said.
He stopped hugging me and he looked me in the eyes. He wiped the tears away.
" You have to say that, you're my boyfriend." I said.
"I don't have to do anything, I said that because I wanted to." He told me.
So once I calmed down, I started packing my clothes and all of John's items. I packed everything I'd need and we fit it into Ricky's car. I stared at my house with tears in my eyes. It wasn't the alst time id see it, but I'dsjure miss it. We put John in his car seat and we drove to Ricky's house. I knew that it'd be better this way, but like people always said, it's hard to do the right thing.
