Thank you so much for the reviews and votes for our new male cast member. Shout outs and much love to everyone who left reviews! I'll even show some love to the creepers reading but not leaving reviews lol

A month later…

Amy POV

There is about a week until school starts. I have avoided Ricky like a plague only talked to him when it concerns John. I love my new job at the restaurant. I can make a really good amount of money and only work 3 days a week.

I'm not working tonight and John is staying with me. I take him to eat pizza at our favorite pizza place. We get seated in one of the booths. He doesn't sit in a high chair anymore, because he is on this kick that he is a big boy now. While we are eating, John has pizza sauce all over his face so as I'm wiping his face, He says extremely loud "Mommy! Look daddy!"

I look in the direction where he is looking and see Ricky and Clementine. They both turn around and wave at both of us. Ricky then comes over to our table. He says, "Hey buddy!" John says, "Hey Daddy!" After visiting with John for a couple minutes he says bye to John.

A week ago when I saw Ben in town at the store he said to text him if I wanted to hang out. I decide to text him "Hey, would you want to hang out tomorrow?"

Ben text back, "I would love to, what are you doing tonight?"

I reply, "Nothing, just going to spend time with John and just chill or go to bed once he falls asleep."

Ben text, "How about after John falls asleep, I can rent some new movies to watch."

I reply, "Sounds Great!"

Adrian POV

I was happy a few weeks ago when I found out that I wasn't pregnant. Right now I feel lonely and miss home! I can't wait for school to start in a week. Omar has been working nonstop. I almost feel like I'm living alone. I don't know how much more I can take of this. I need to make new friends; I should be able to find some friends around my age when school starts.

I had dinner made for us tonight that I had to eat alone. I put the left overs in the fridge and do the dishes. I decide to go out for a long walk, while on my walk I get a call from Amy.

She says, "Hey, I just wanted to check and see how you are doing?"

I reply, "I'm doing good, just bored out of my mind."

She laughs and says, "I hear you."

I say, "How are things there for you?"

She says, "I don't know, I saw Ricky and Clementine out together and I just can't believe how easily he has moved on and it is killing me."

I say, "You need to tell him how you feel before it's too late and he falls for her."

She says, "He probably already has…. I wanted to ask you about something because after everything, we have become friends and I wouldn't want to ruin that. I wanted to know if it would bother you if I started dating Ben? "

I say, "No, it wouldn't bother me. Just some advice as a friend, be careful because it doesn't sound like you are over Ricky. I don't want Ben to get hurt again."

She says, "I know, I don't either. If I do start seeing him, we will take everything slow."

Grace POV

Tonight I went to hang out at home for a while to spend time with everyone. After dinner my mom ask, "Grace, can I talk to you a minute?"

She says, "How are you doing?"

I reply, "Doing great actually, this is the longest I have gone without a boyfriend. A whole two months, I'm so proud."

She laughs and says, "Do whatever makes you happy, you don't have to make rules for everything. Just enjoy life and follow your heart."

I say, "But what if following my heart leads to heartbreak and I change my mind shortly after."

She says, "That's all a part of life. No one is perfect."

I reply, "I followed my heart and because I focused on all that, I didn't get good enough grades and didn't get to go to my dream school."

She says, "Well look Amy got into her dream school and it turned out to be what she didn't want. How do you know that wouldn't have happened to you too? Everything happens for a reason."

I say, "I know what you mean but it doesn't feel right."

She leans in to give me a hug and says, "It will get better, I promise."

I say, "I'm going to go see if Tom wants to go out for Ice cream. Love you Mom."

She says, "Love you too."

Ben POV

I go and rent 3 new movies for Amy to choose from, and then I stop at the grocery store to buy her favorite candies and popcorn. I get a text from her with the address to the condo and that John is sleeping. When I get there she looks gorgeous in a denim strapless dress.

I say, "Wow you look amazing."

She says, "Thanks, you too."

I say, "I brought some movies for you to choose from and some goodies."

She laughs and looks at what I brought, "You remembered what I like."

I reply, "I remember everything about you."

She smiles and gives me a peck on the cheek, then goes to make the popcorn and puts it in a container for us to share.

I say, "I'm so glad you finally called or texted me."

She says, "I know Ben, we need to take things slow because we have changed over the years and we need to get to know each other again. We loved each other then, but we need to see if we love the people we are now."

I say, "I know Amy, I have always loved you and I'm sure I still do."

She says, "Ben, I'm still upset that you kept trying to break up Ricky and I. We had enough problems without anything being added to it. When you were with Adrian, I never tried to interfere."

I reply, "Amy, I'm sorry. I just get so wrapped up and I didn't think of it that way. I just wanted you to be happy."

She says, "I forgive you Ben. Well I guess I should put on the movie."

She chose for us to watch "Identity Thief".

It is very funny; we both enjoy the movie a lot. We are sitting so close to each other, the smell of her hair and perfume is amazing. After the movie I decide to go for it and start to kiss her. Before you know it we are in a full make out session on the couch. She pulls away and says, "I think it's time for me to go to bed. Thanks for tonight; I had a lot of fun."

Ricky POV

Clementine and I went back to my apartment to eat. After finishing up our food she says, "We should go out dancing or something?"

I reply, "That's not really my thing."

She says, "Ricky, I know you have wanted to take things slow but I'm tired of waiting."

She starts to kiss me passionately and leads me to the couch, she starts removing her clothes piece by piece. I take off my shirt and then she unbuckles my pants and before this goes any further I say, "We can't do this. Sorry Clementine."

She gets angry, "Why not Ricky?!"

I shout, "Because I don't want to!"

She shouts, "This is about Amy still! She doesn't want you anymore!"

I yell, "Get the hell out!"

Enraged with all these emotions, I decide I can't take this feeling anymore. I'm going to go tell Amy how I feel, every last bit of it! I get in my car and drive over to her condo and as I'm walking to her door I see Ben leaving so I hide in a bush so he won't see me. I almost turn around and go back home but I choose to talk to her anyways. I knock on her door and when she opens it and says, "Come in."

I say, "We need to talk."

She says, "What's up Ricky? It's late."

I ask, "I saw Ben leaving, are you with him now?"

She gets angry, "What does it matter?!"

I ask, "Did you end things with us because you wanted to be with him?"

She replies, "No! What did you want to talk about? I'm tired Ricky."

I ask, "Why can't you ever be completely honest with me?!"

She says, "I have been honest with you!"

I ask, "Are you dating Ben now?"

She rolls her eyes and says, "Tonight was our first date."

I turn around to leave slamming the door on my way out.

Amy POV

This next week goes by pretty fast, Ben and I have hung out a couple times. He invited me out to lunch today because he wanted to talk about some stuff. He leaves tomorrow for New York.

While eating Ben asks, "We just re-connected and with me leaving I want to know where this leaves us?"

I think for a moment and say, "Ben I care about you so much, this week has been awesome. I don't want to be in a serious relationship right now, especially a long distance one. I'm sorry but we are just starting to get to know each other again."

He looks disappointed and says, "I understand, we will see what happens after this semester."

Adrian POV

Omar finally has a day off and we have a no cell phone policy today, we decide to do some site seeing. We stop for lunch and while eating Omar says, "Why don't we just get married, we can go home this weekend and do it with just our family and friends there. My uncle is a pastor and can marry us? I want you to be my wife already?"

I say, "You are so sweet and I want to be your wife. I want to plan a wedding and take our time. There is no rush."

He starts to pout and says, "Fine, you take your time and enjoy planning our wedding. Either way I don't care as long as you are mine and mine only."

I laugh and say, "What would make you think I wasn't yours only?"

He stares at me for a few moment and looks like he is thinking of a way to tell me something.

He says, "Well last night I figured you were dreaming of a past memory, because you were talking in your sleep and I could have sworn you said something like I love you too Benny."

My mouth drops and I lie, "Wow, I don't remember dreaming of Ben or anyone else for that matter."

He says, "It's not a big deal, it could have been a memory."

I say, "Maybe but I don't remember dreaming that. I love you Omar and you have nothing to worry about."

He says, "I know, I love you too."
