Nini's POV

After Ricky fell asleep I gently kissed the top of his head before following his dad out of the room. Once I was out I quietly shut the door, and followed him down stairs trying too wrap the last couple hours around my brain. Once I got downstairs I spotted his dad leaning against the kitchen island staring off into space. So slowly I started walking towards the front door until I heard something "Nini, can you come in here please, I need too talk too you if thats okay." So slowly I walked back into the kitchen too be greeted by a worried looking Mike as he looked over at me." I just want too say thank you for being there for Ricky when I know things haven't really been that great with him, with everything thats been going on between his mom and I. So I just want too thank you for sticking by him. This has been the happiest I seen him in a while." Smiling I just nodded my head before walking back towards the door, and going out into the crisp evening, with the rest of my friends quietly following me out.

After a short walk I arrived at my house and quietly walked in. As I walked in I realized that my moms were already standing at the door waiting for me. Shocked I asked them what they were doing here, but they just began too question me, saying that Mike had called saying the Ricky had ran away. Frowning I just gave them each a quick hug before unconsciously nodded my head and walking too my room, not saying anything else too them. As soon as I shut my door tear began running down my face, as the full affect of what my boyfriend did, hit me. Silently I cried myself too sleep, already exhausted from today.

Mike's POV

After Ricky had fallen asleep I went back downstairs too find all of his friends still sitting there silently. After calling Nini into the kitchen and thanking her for being there for my son, all of his friends, including Nini left after saying goodbye. As they walked out the door I pulled out my phone to call Mama D too tell them a little about the situation that was going on, leaving out a part I didn't think Ricky would want shared. After explain the situation and how Nini helped with Ricky, and how he had left the house for a while, then we said our goodbyes and I hung up the phone. Sighing I leaned against the counter, as I let the event of the day play through my head. After standing there for a while I slowly made my way up stairs, and quietly went into my sons room. As I walked in I smiled slightly seeing him still peacefully asleep on his bed, with tear stains still on his face. Not really wanting too be far from him tonight, I decided too set up a make shift bed next too his. But even after laying down, I knew that I wasn't going too be getting much sleep tonight. After seeing what he had done too himself, and after he had bolted, sleep wasn't going too be easy. But slowly I started drifting off too sleep, as I heard my sons steady breathing.

*The morning*

As I started too wake up, I looked over too see my son still sound asleep. Smiling I yawned and stood up and kissed him lightly on his forehead before quietly walking out of his room. As soon as I got downstairs I was welcomed by a knock at the door, and greeted by the Salazar Roberts family on the other side. Once I saw our oldest family friends standing at the door, I instantly let them in, and offering each of them coffee, which they all excepted. After we all had a mug in our hands we all sat around the living room making small talk, ignoring the big reason why they were here. I knew they were worried about Ricky, as was I, but there was nothing we could really do while he was asleep. Just as I was about too offer them more coffee Nini spoke up "Mr.Bowen YAC, in Denver offered me a full ride scholarship too where my parents would only have too pay for the plane ticket up there. I know that I turned it down too be here, but this offer is a once in a life time experience and I want too take it. I really want too take it, but I don't know how too tell Ricky." As these words came out of the 16 year olds mouth I felt my heart stop for a second, I knew that Nini cared about Ricky and that she would never do anything too hurt him, but I also knew how passionate she was about music. Slowly I just nodded my head and excused myself from the living room. But just as I was about too walk into the kitchen, Ricky came down the stairs.

As I saw my son come down the stairs I froze. I didn't know how long he had been there, or how much of the conversation he'd heard. All I knew is that if he had heard any of it, he would be heart broke. After he stood there for a second looking at me, he looked over at Nini and asked "So you really are going too leave? After you said you were going too stay? You know what go, its your dream, go chase your dreams." As I looked over at the girl I saw a look of guilt fall over her face, and it was clear too me that she had made her decision. The next thing I knew Ricky was running back up stairs, as we all stayed still, not really knowing what too do. Finally I excused myself from the group and followed my son upstairs. As I walked into his bedroom I heard him shifting through drawer, opening and closing cabinets as he moved around his bathroom. Then all the sounds stopped, thats when I walked into the bathroom too find my son with a small blade in his shaking hand, with tears streaming down his face as he dragged it down his wrist. Quickly I ran over and took the blade as well as the broken razor away from him, keeping it out of his reach as his breathing began raged.

Slowly I sat down next too my son taking him into my arms as I began too rub his back, in a effort of calming him down. After sitting there for who knows how long his breathing became steady as he sat up, avoiding eye contact. Slowly I let him go and picked up all the pieces too the broken razor, and threw them into the toilet before flushing it, getting rid of any more temptations. After disposing of the items I slowly reach for his arm, which he reluctantly let me, and I slowly started too clean and wrap his arm. After I had finished I pulled him carefully into a hug before kissing his head, in a attempt too ease his nerves. After sitting there for a while I slowly helped him stand up and helped him back into bed, before finish up in the bathroom and quietly walk back down stairs.

Once I got downstairs I realized that the Salazar Roberts family were all still there, so trying too force a smile on my face I told them that right now wasn't the best time too talk, politely asking if they could leave. After a couple protests from Nini they all said goodbye before driving off. Sighing I closed the front door, leaning against as I let out a sigh I didn't know I was holding. After standing there for a couple of minutes I went too go check on Ricky once more. As I walked into his room I smiled as I saw my son curled up in a ball silently sleeping.  Walking over quietly I kissed him on the head before walking back out of his room and closing the door silently.

*Sorry I feel like this chapter is really short. I felt no motivation for it, and felt like I needed too start fresh on a new chapter. Hopefully the next one is better.*
