"Ashley," Anne began. "What could you possibly be thinking letting Ricky sleep in your room?"
" I was thinking about how I'm grown woman and had the liberty to decide what I was going to do, remember?" Ashley smirked. When her mother had told her that she can do what ever she wanted, she had no intention of actually doing so. She only brought this up to possibly make her mother take back her words, and tell her to be under the rules. However it did not work.
Exasperated, her mother threw up her hands and walked away. A tad bit disappointed her plan to make her mother swallow words didn't work, Ashley walked out of the kitchen, just when she was about to leave the house for school, she heard loud footsteps, as if someone was pacing with abandon. Curious as to what her father was amped up about now, she made her way up the stairs.
To Ashley's surprise it was Ricky crossing the hallway back and forth. With the house phone tucked into the crook of his neck.
"Yes Amy, I gave him the bottle." He was carrying John and burping him. "I'm getting him ready right now" Ricky sounded exhausted. "yes Amy…yes…that too" Ricky finally noticed me standing there. "Hey Ames you want to talk to Ashley" she must have said something rude, because Ricky rolled his eyes and handed me the phone. "Here, Ash I gotta finish getting John ready and then drop him at the nursery."
"Hello" I said into the receiver.
"Ashley what's going on over there?"
"I don't know what is going on?"
"Ashley, don't play games you know what I'm talking about."
"ok, well over here. Ricky's going crazy trying to put up with your demands even though you're all the way in New York".
"Ashley, it took Ricky a really long time to come to the phone when I called. Where was he that he took so long? Was he out late some girl while he was supposed to be watching John, and he overslept this morning?".
"I don't know" Ashley lied. She knew damn well where Ricky was and why it took him so long. Her room was all the way in the garage after all. And her mother had probably answered the phone, which is how she knew Ricky was in her room.
"Uh, Ashley, my lunch break is almost over. Tell Ricky I'll call John later".
"bye". Ashley droned. She wasn't all that enthusiastic about that. She didn't know why, and had a strange feeling it had something to do with the fact that in order to talk to John, Amy had to speak to Ricky.
Not that she particularly cared. Ricky and Amy could have another baby for all she cared.
Later in school Ricky caught up with Ashley. She couldn't help but feel self conscience. She had opted to wear a very low cut black dress today.
"Hey Ashley, I was wondering something and I figured I should just ask you."
"Ok" said Ashley in that voice of boredom and impatience. The voice that made Ricky wonder what it would be like to be in her head. The voice that made Ricky wonder what it would sound like saying other things to him.
"when you were talking to Amy this morning did you tell her that I slept in your room last night?"
"Why, are you afraid of Amy finding out?" her pace of voice began to quicken. "Are you afraid of her thinking something happened."
"Gosh, Ashley, I don't know. Maybe I do maybe I don't. But for now I just don't want Amy to know that I'm sleeping in your room."
"Sleeping or slept. Because sleeping would imply that you are going to it again. Are you going to do it again?"
"Are you going to do what again?" Ben interrupted before Ricky could answer.
Ashley raised her eyebrows at Ricky and he knew he was in the hot spot. Because not only was Ben there, but because Ashley had silently changed her question, and it no longer regarded sleeping. It was something else.
"Nothing", Ricky countered. Ashley had no response, as she turned to walk away. And Ricky watched her go. It took Ben's shocking announcement to pull his gaze away.
"I'm going to New York, to tell Amy Adrian's pregnant."
"Why would you do that" Ricky couldn't believe he was making such a move.
"My dad is forcing me" this made a bit a more sense but he still couldn't imagine why they couldn't wait for this to blow over and leave it alone.
"Why"
"Because Adrian's keeping the baby"
A/N: ok, so I would like to sincerely apologize. I had the first part of this written right after I posted the first chapter. But the problem is that I significantly lost interest in the show, there fore losing interest in the story. But I got I message asking me to update and that they love the story, so I went straight to my computer. Now, I haven't seen much since then, just bit's and parts so the story probably won't follow the show. But I have no idea where this is going, so tell me what you want to happen and it will. I have now decided that criticism is necessary. So review and give concerns.
