Closure

"We need to talk. Meet me on the parking lot after rehearsal. "

Ricky's POV

All day I've been dreading having this conversation. I've been a little over now having to deal with all this drama and I honestly don't see how I am in the middle of it all.

I approached Casewell on the parking lot to talk about whatever this is.

"I'm here, what did you need to talk about?" I asked

"Look, for the most part of this semester we have been able to get along in-spite of our previous run ins. Now lately you bring this energy from the past to now. And I happen to notice it's because of how me and Gina are close now" Ej stated

"I don't know what's going on with you and Gina. You guys have your own thing, me and Gina have our own sensitive situation" I explained

"I'm aware of that. But what I can't get my head around is why are you coming for me in group settings and doing the most while Gina is around and then it hit me... you are jealous of me and Gina" Ej said

"I'm not jealous of you or whatever is going on with you and Gina" I said defending myself

"Dude you're lying, you're lying to me, to Gina, to Nini and you're lying to yourself." Ej said

"What is this even about? Why are you so concerned about what's going on between me and Gina? Why do you even care?" I asked

"I care because I care about Gina. I like her. But I also care about our people. Everything that happened during HSM season effected everyone and it is still effecting us now. I'm not trying to go through that again...I want us to be able to continue to keep the peace between us" Ej said honestly

"I just think everything that happened with me and Gina is getting blown out of proportion. We were only friends" I said

"Well if you only saw her as a friend then why didn't you tell her you only see her as a friend after the HSM show when she came to see you?" Ej asked

"How do you even know about that?" I asked because nobody was there but me and her.

"Don't worry about how I know. Just answer the question" Ej said

I couldn't answer him because he's right. I just told Nini I loved her and that I wanted to be with her. Then in comes Gina out of nowhere telling me she wouldn't quit on us if she weren't moving. What was I suppose to say to that.

"Look Ricky, it's crazy that you can stand here and think that this isn't a big deal. Its a mess....you have to be honest. Do you have feelings for Gina? And if you do you need to tell her. She deserves to know. I need to know because I won't move forward with her if you do." Ej said

"I honestly don't know what to make of Gina and I. But I am sorry for snapping at you. You didn't deserve it. And you are right...I am kind of jealous of how close you two are....me and Nini are over and there was a time where nobody was there for me but Gina and I guess I just miss her." I said honestly

"You have two days before we all go to the cabins to take sometime to think about how you genuinely feel about Gina. Be honest with yourself and then be honest with Gina and Nini. Maybe you and Nini will find closure about this situation and can begin to start over. I know you still love her too and I know she still loves you too" Ej advised

"You think Nini would start over with me?" I asked

"In my unbiased opinion I think you two are meant for each other" Ej said genuinely
