Betrayed ~ 19

Nini pov:

"I hate school" I said to Ricky while falling onto my bed. He chuckled "It's not that bad." I glared at him with just caused him to chuckle again. "You like making me mad, don't you?" I questioned him with my arms crossed across my chest. Ricky nodded his head "Yeah, its funny to see you mad."

I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "Hey, that hurt" He complained. I just shrug my shoulders "Pay back." A few seconds later I was suddenly laying on my back on the bed with him above me. Before I could push him off, he was tickling my sides. "Stop please" I begged him. He just continued tickling me. "Apologize for throwing the pillow at me" He demanded. I shook my head because he deserved it. "Are you sure?" He asked and then started tickling my feet. "Ok, ok I'm sorry Ricky. Juts please stop." A few seconds later Ricky stopped. "You're mean" I said while pouting. That just caused him to chuckle.

"Kids, Dinner is ready" Mom suddenly yelled from downstairs. I immediately jumped up and ran down the stairs. I got to the kitchen first, which meant that I got the good spot at the head of the table. He walked past me glaring at me and I just giggled. "Pay back is a bitch" I said to teas him some more. Mom and Dad joined us a few minutes later and we fell into a nice conversation about school.

I was just going to put some more mashed potatoes on my plate when mom spoke up "There is something we have to talk about." I looked at Ricky and silently asked him if he had any idea what they were talking about, but he shook his head as a response. "Mike and I talked about maybe sending you to therapy." My eyes widened in shook "Please don't."

Her eyes softened "Nini, it would be good for you. Especially since Ricky told us that you recently had a panic attack."

I slowly turned my head to glare at Ricky before I said, "Well then he probably also told you that I used to go to therapy and stopped because before I did, I never once had a panic attack, and it didn't bring me a single thing."

With that I ran up to room and slammed the door shut. After locking it I fell onto my bed. The tears just would not stop coming. It was not the fact that they suggested I should go to therapy, I honestly expected that. It is the fact that Ricky betrayed me. We promised each other to never tell each other's secret and he broke that. At the thought of him telling theme even more things I broke down again.

I have no idea how long I laid there crying. But it must have been at least an hour because it was already dark outside when I looked out of the window. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. I did not even consider getting up to open the door.

There was another knock and when I still did not answer the person on the other side spoke up. "Neens, please talk to me." It was Ricky and he was the last person I wanted to talk to.

When I still did not answer he knocked again. "Nini, please. I get that you're mad at me, and our parents, but I want to explain myself." I rolled my eyes. "You lied to me and told them my secrets, the two things we promised to never do. So, I have no reason to listen to you making stupid excuses. Now go away and leave me the fuck alone." I yelled at him through the still closed door. I could hear him sigh "Fine, if this is the way you want it." Suddenly I heard the sound of a key and then the door unlocking.

I crawled towards the headboard of the bed to get further away from the door. Ricky stepped into the room and he looked like he was ready to force me to listen to him. So, I did the first thing that came to my mind.

That was to grab a jacket and to jump out of the window. Underneath my window was the front door, which had a small roof, so it wants to high of a jump. I just ran to wherever. I had no plan where to go, I only wanted to get as far away from home as possible. While I ran away, I could hear Ricky yell at me to stop, but that was not even an option. I hoped that by the time that they had shoes on and were out the door I was already out of sight. I knew they had cars and would be faster than me, so I went to the only spot that cars could not go this late at night. Which happened to be the forest.

That is how I found myself in the middle of the forest at 11pm on a school night. I was lost and the thought of not getting out terrified me. Suddenly I heard the sound of a twig breaking behind me. I abruptly turned around to see a figure approaching me.

"Ricky?" I asked slightly shaking of fear.
