Ricky took a deep breath and pushed the tears away, "Natalie Rose Anderson."

The blonde-haired girl opened her eyes, turning over and seeing her probably now ex-boyfriend staring at her.

"R-Ricky? You're uh...you're home early.", she stutters.

"Natalie don't play stupid with me. I told you I was coming home at 11:30. It's 11:36", Ricky replies.

"Ricky...it's not what it looks like, I promise."

"Oh, because it looks like you're cheating on me? I don't recall being blind.", he snaps back.

Luke is sitting upright in the bed, his eyes focusing on arguing couple.

"Ricky, you know I love you.", she says as she slowly gets up, trying to hold his hand.

"Don't.", he mutters, pulling away from her.

Ricky turns his attention to Luke.

"Hey buddy. How ya doing?", he asks.

Luke clears his throat, "Oh uh...I'm good. Long time no see..."

"Yeah. And the last time you'll be seeing me. You screwed up Luke.", Ricky glares.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about."

"Luke, I know what you did!", Ricky shouts, "You. You kidnapped Nini! And...and you did something terrible to her!"

Ricky can feel his eyes sting has tears fall from his eyes. Natalie watches as he continues.

"And then...you got bailed out! How do you live with yourself! You're a maniac and idiot Luke. Get out of my apartment. Now. I never want to see you again.", Ricky finishes.

Luke stays sitting there, taking everything in.

"NOW LUKE. GET OUT.", Ricky yells, pointing to the door.

He slowly gets up and walks over to Ricky, whispering, "Good luck finding Nini bud..."

Luke faces his back to the door as he walks, staring at Ricky with an evil smile.

"See you later Natalie.", he winks, before closing the door behind him.

The blonde-haired girl smirks before Ricky turns around and she sees his red and tear stained face.

He takes a deep breath, "Natalie. Did you bail him out?"

She stares at the floor, "Y-yeah..."

"Why'd you do that.", he asks.

"Ricky...I'm sorry, okay?"

"Are you though? Nat...he is the one who kidnapped Nini, okay? And if you're going to go bail him out then cheat on me with him...and date him or whatever...I don't want to even be friends with you. I don't want to talk to you or see you."

"Okay then...goodbye Ricky.", she whispers, walking out of the apartment, not a single tear drop falling from her eye.

Ricky stands there in the middle of his bedroom. It feels like his world just came crashing down on him. It's like the universe is against him. First, the person who kidnapped his best friend is bailed out by his own (ex) girlfriend, and then she cheats on him. Ricky lets himself fall down onto his bed as he lets out sobs, eventually drifting to sleep.
