Rickys pov:
It had been six months since brax called everything off. I was know going out with Nate and we were happy. I had miscarried the baby at about 12 weeks, the stress and everything else was to much and I had lost the baby, I hadn't told brax as he didn't want to see me but his brothers told him. When I miscarried that's when me and nate became close as I had to spend a few days in hospital as there was a few complicaions and after that we decide to go out and had been ever since. I don't think the braxtons really liked the idea but they knew I needed to move on. I hadn't spoke to brax at all I had barely even spoke to the braxtons the only person I really spoke to was Bianca and that was becoming less frequent I had moved out of the braxtons not long after heath told me about brax not wanting to be with me. I was happy with nate and I did love him just not like I loved brax and I think he knew that, but he also knew that I loved him. Nate had been offered a job in London and had originally declined but we decided it would be a good idea to start fresh. I needed to get away from the bay as all it had was memorys of me and brax.
R: hey baby im going too tell Bianca that im leaving
N: ok well she deserves to know, but are you sure about this
R: im positive we need a fresh start theres to many memories here,
N: but there good memories
R: not all of them, I need somewhere new, I need a new start and you love youre job and in London you can be everything you dreamed off being.
N: do you know how much I love you
R: yes I do because I love you to.
N: ill see you later
R: are you going to work today
N: yes so I wont be home when you get back
R: ok
I got dressed and walked the beach to the braxtons house the place with so many memories I had missed it I hadn't really been near it since I moved out. I knocked on heath and biancas door.
B: hey ricky come in
R: thanks, I have something to tell you
B: ok go on then
R: im moving to London
B: what, ricky you cant leave what about youre friends and family what about brax
R: I don't have family here and my friends I can still talk to and brax has no place in my life anymore he ended that months ago
B: but he still loves you ricky and you love him, be honest ricky you don't love nate anywhere near as much as you love brax you don't look at him like you do brax
R: no I don't love him as much as brax but he was the love of my life. But I do love nate and I want to do this there is to many memories here.
B: you mean of brax
R: yes, this whole place reminds me of brax and makes me miss him and each day I hate him more and more but at the same time I love him, I just want to be happy Bianca and moving to London with nate will do that.
B: does he honestly make you happy and laugh and does he love you
R: yes he does make ma happy, he makes me smile and he tought me to love again, I honestly love him and he loves me.
B: ok, but what do I tell brax
R: you don't he made his choice a long time ago, and he has to live with that
B: you cant just leave and not tell him
R: I can Bianca, he made this mess and im just trying to fit everything back together. You can tell him that I left if you want
B: ok when are you leaving
R: tonight at 9
B: how long have you had this planned
R: a few weeks
B: why didn't you tell me sooner
R: because I thought you might try and stop me
B: of course I would ricky you belong here with us deep down you know youre a Braxton and you know you belong with brax
R: maybe so but that's never going to happen
B: you don't know that hes been trying really hard to get an appeal all he wants to do is come home and be with you
R: yes but hes been trying for ages and he doesn't want me he made that clear
B: he does want you he just couldnt stand to see you like that, you broke him ricky, you made him realise what he had lost the day he saw you.
R: and he thinks it was easy for me
B: no that's why he did it to spare both of youre feelings ricky, you have to know how much he loves you
R: I do its just no enough this time
B: it has every other time and didn't you say to me that as long as you love each other it doesn't matter
R: yes but that doesn't work in this situation.
B: you know it does but if you want to go to London and that's what will make you happy then you should go. But look after yourself and text me and ring me all the time because im going to miss you this place isn't going to be the same without you.
R: thank you
B: you should come to angelos tonight and have diner with as all
R: I don't know if I can I still have a lot of stuff to sort out
B: come on please a goodbye diner.
R: ok fine can nate come
B: I guess
R: thank you
B: 6:30 good
R: yes that's fine. Im going to go but I will see you later.
I went home and packed all of my stuff and told nate to meet me at angelos as we were having diner with the braxtons.
Nates pov:
I arrived at angelos hoping ricky would already be there and she wasn't.
N: hey I said to kyle
K: is ricky really moving with you
N: yes
K: you just had to didn't you ,you had to pry on her when she was in her most vunerable state, she doesn't love you like she does brax and if she was given the choice she would choose brax
N: I know she would and that's ok im glad to have her whilst I can, and she does love me maybe not as much as brax but she does love me.
K: so why are you with her knowing that
N: because I love her and any time I get with her is enough shes an amazing woman and any person is lucky to have her
K: I know she is I saw her everyday when she was at her lowest she still looked after us all and put our needs before hers.
N: she does that
K: does ricky really want to move to London she loves it here
That's when I felt a hand on my shoulder
R: yes I do want to go to London I want a fresh start somewhere with no memories somewhere I can be loved and can love
K: but you can do that here
R: I cant tho kyle, I cant love here I hate it here theres so many bad memories
K: but London is so far away
H: whos moving to London

R: not anymore this Is my last night that's why Bianca organised this diner
H: she didn't tell me, I take it you've had enough of this place and the people
R: not the people and the place just the memories and heartache.
B: come on then lets go eat
Diner went pretty well and I said my goodbyes and everyone said there peace and what they thought I listened but I already had made my mind up about what I was doing and nobody was changing my mind no matter how much they tried. I loved nate and wanted a life with him.
H: good luck ricky
R: thank you
H: Nate look after her and don't hurt her otherwise you will have us to deal with
N: I wont

We went through all the checks and were know sat on board the plane.
N: I love you
R: I love you to im glad were doing this
N: me to, but you have to tell me if you become un happy or want to come because I don't want to make you unhappy and if you want to we can come back whenever you want
