Chapter 3

A huge thank you and a big group hug to everyone who has left reviews, you are rock stars! Quick question I'm going to add another character to this story for fun, I know it is a guy but I would like your opinions on which actor he should look like? I was thinking Drew Roy (Falling Skies), Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) , Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl), Zac Efron (The Lucky One Etc.), or Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries)? Please submit your vote in the reviews.

Adrian POV

It's Monday morning, I wake up and make some pancakes for breakfast. Omar should be out of the shower any minute. Once I'm done making the pancakes, I pour us both some orange juice and get out some fresh berries.

Omar comes in the kitchen and says, "It smells good in here." He gives me a kiss on the cheek before sitting down to eat.

I say, "I felt like making breakfast this morning."

He laughs and says, "No complaints from me."

I smile at him and sit down to eat breakfast. I'm pretty quiet while eating breakfast and I guess he notices because he asks, "Are you okay, you have been really quiet since last night?"

I smile and say, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

He says, "I always worry about you, I know this move wasn't easy for you and I just want you to be happy."

I reply, "I am very happy with you."

Once he leaves I text Grace to see if she wants to get on Skype so we can talk. I log onto to my lap top and once it has loaded. I get an incoming Skype call from Grace. I see both Amy and her.

Grace says, "Hey!"

Amy says, "We miss you!"

I smile and say, "Miss you guys too!"

Amy says, "Well I wish I could stay and chat with you all but I have a job interview so wish me luck!"

I say, "Good Luck! Text me later and let me know how it goes."

Grace says, "How is New York?"

I say, "It's going good so far, it's awesome having a new start but I still miss everyone back home."

Grace smiles and says, "I bet."

I ask, "So what's it like over there, anything interesting going on?"

Grace replies, "Last night Amy and I went to dinner and Ben was on his way out but he stayed to chat with us for a bit. I couldn't tell but I was thinking something might be brewing between them again."

I laugh and say, "God I wish Amy would just date him again so he can finally get it out of his system and move on with his life already."

Grace says, "What do you mean?"

I reply, " Her and Ben won't work, but he needs to see that again. In my opinion, Amy has tried to hide this many times since the beginning but I think she always has been and will always be in love with Ricky."

Grace says, "I don't know, in the beginning it seemed like she couldn't stand him."

I reply, "She was pissed off at him because he knocked her up. She came to school to find out he was a complete male whore and my guess is that he made her feel like he actually cared about her."

Grace replies, "Well when you put it like that who wouldn't have been pissed? Do you think Ricky is in love with Amy?"

I reply, "That is what I really don't know for sure, I thought so. I know he loves her more than any other girl. I think Ricky has a big wall up around his heart for protection. I chipped away at it. Amy broke most of it down and gave up on him."

Grace says, "Amy said when she went to go pick up John that Clementine was over there and It seemed like a lunch date."

I reply, "I know, Clementine told me about that and about making out with him the night before Amy came back."

Grace makes a sad face and says, "I can't believe he could move on so fast, he was going to marry Amy."

I say, "I know, you know how Ricky is. What he is doing now has nothing to do with Amy."

Grace sighs and says, "I have to go, Ricky is working today and I'm watching John for a few hours until Amy gets back from her job interview."

I say, "Have fun, Smooches!"

After talking to Grace I decide to go for a nice little walk before my Doctors appointment.

Grace POV

I'm on my way to the butcher shop to go watch John, My cell phone rings and I'm a little shocked because it is Jack. I accept the call on my car speaker phone.

I say, "Hello"

He says, "Hey, how are you doing?"

I reply, "I'm doing okay Jack, how about you?"

He says, "I'm doing alright, I know that we are over for now. But before we got back together we were really good friends. I just wanted to let you know that I will always be here for you if you need me."

I reply, "I'm here for you too Jack. Good luck with football and Madison."

He says, "I'm not with Madison, we are just friends too."

I guess my jealously gets the best of me and I say, "I know how you and her friendship works."

He says, "I'm sorry for anything I've ever done to hurt you Grace, but what does it matter? You want to move on with your life and find some rich Doctor or someone better than me."

I reply, "Don't be ridiculous, I never said that. I just wasn't ready to get married and all of that. We have a lot more growing up to do and maybe it's best if we do that apart for now."

He says, "Fair enough, I will see you around and take care."

I reply, "You too Jack."

Ben POV

I've been thinking about stuff since last night and I love New York, but I only wanted to go to school there because Amy. I applied to many colleges here too, I have enough time to change my mind but for some reason I think I'm going to go there for at least one semester. Then I can transfer back over here.

I have completed my first novel, which is in the love/mystery category. I have submitted it to so many publishing companies and I'm just waiting for my big break. I have decided to make my own path instead of doing the family business. I know my dad has enough money to just have the book published himself and then sell it to the different markets. I don't want to do that though, I want to accomplish this on my own and I worked really hard on this book.

Chloe comes in my room and says, "Brother, let's go to the movies or do something. I'm super bored!"

I reply, "I was going to do some writing, but if you insist then we can go to the movies instead."

Amy POV

My job interview went great and I start next week. I get to the butcher shop to go pick up John to take him back to the condo with me. When I get there Ricky is at the counter and there aren't any customers in the shop.

Ricky asks "Do you think we can talk about some stuff before you leave with John?"

I say, "Sure, what's on your mind?"

He says, "What did you want to talk to me about the other day?"

I say, "Just some stuff about school and John."

He asks, "Like what?"

I reply, "Maybe we should talk about this another time when you aren't working."

He says, "I have time right now, no one is here."

I say, "I'm staying in California; my parents bought me a condo. I'm going to your school."

Ricky says, "Oh, I thought it was your dream to go to school in New York?"

I say, "It was but when I was there I realized some things and it wasn't what I wanted."

Ricky says, "Glad you're going to stay if that's what you want."

I ask, "I was thinking John could live with me and stay with you on the nights I'm working."

He gets a little upset, "What is wrong with the way we have it?"

I say, "Nothing, I'm just his mother and wanted more time with him."

He says, "I'm his father and you can have more time with him. I want him to live with me though. He can go stay with you some days of the week."

I pout and say, "Fine Ricky."

He says, "Don't get sad, it's just he is used to living here and I don't want him to think I didn't want him staying with me."

I say, "Okay I understand."

Even though I'm not happy about this, I know this is not an argument I want to continue right now. I go up to the apartment to get John. We stop at the grocery store to buy some groceries to make something for dinner. Thank God, I saved some money up until I start my new job. When we get to the condo my dad is there and he says, "I have a surprise for you and my grandson!"

He leads us to John's bedroom and it is decorated with tons of Disney Car's decor and a Lighting McQueen bed. I give my dad a big hug and say, "Thanks so much!" John is so excited he can't contain himself. I say, "John give Grandpa a hug and say thank you." He runs over to his Grandpa and says "Thank you!"

After my dad leaves, I go to the living room to continue unpacking stuff, John comes out of his room and says, "Mommy, where's daddy?"

I say, "Baby, he is at work."

He starts to whine and cry, "I want daddy to see my car bed!"

I frown and say, "John please stop crying, I will call to have daddy come when he gets out of work to see your bed."

I make spaghetti and meat sauce with a salad for dinner, John and I eat dinner. I save a dinner plate for Grace on the counter. Then I get a couple containers to pack some for Ricky. Afterwards I realize it has been about 30 minutes since Ricky got out of work, I call him because I figure he should be done showering.

I say, "Hey, John has been crying because he wants to you to come see the bed my dad bought for him. Would you come over to see the bed?"

Ricky says, "Sure, I'll be over in a little bit. Text me your address."

A couple minutes later, Grace comes in carrying a box and says, "I think this is the last of my stuff." She sets the box down in her room. Then she comes back in the living and looks down but I have no clue why.

I say, "What's wrong Grace?"

She says, "I didn't want to tell you this because I don't want you to get hurt but I know you would want to know. Adrian told me that Clementine said that Ricky and her were making out the night before you came home."

I contain my tears from falling and say, "Thank you for telling me. I knew he would move on, I just didn't think it would be this quick."

I think to myself that I need to calm down and be strong.

Ricky POV

I get to the condo and knock on the door, Grace answers the door and says, "Come in, John fell asleep in his bed while waiting for you and Amy is in her room."

I smile and say, "Thanks I figured he would fall asleep, I got out a little later today because of the shipments coming in."

I knock on Amy's door and she says, "Come in." She is putting some stuff away in drawers. She turns to me and says, "Sorry John fell asleep while waiting." I sense she is upset or angry about something but I leave it alone.

I say, "He can stay here tonight. I don't want to have to wake him."

She says, "Sounds good, there is spaghetti and salad from dinner on the counter in some containers if you want it."

I reply, "Thank you."

She says, "Goodnight Ricky."

I say, "Goodnight."
