Ricky Potts x Reader 😫

Dec 27 + Jan 1

It's been a week since the fight. Even though it wasn't on school grounds, i still got in trouble. So I had detention all week. However, winter break started 4 days ago, so i'm home right now. I'm cold. It's very cold. Like, it's the middle of winter so why wouldn't it be? I miss Ricky, like a lot. It's not fair he hates me. I mean like, I did nothing to deserve of hatred. I told Sonny about what happened.. but he told me it was my fault. Gee, what do I even do?

———————— January 1st ———————————

I was outside with Sonny, Dina, my aunt, my mom, my cousin, Wayne, and his girlfriend, Barb. Wayne had came over with his new "illegal" firework.

"We shouldn't be messing with things like that. What if someone gets hurt?" I asked.

"No ones getting hurt, Y/N." He scoffed. "It'll be fine.." Wayne set down the firework and took out his lighter. "Back up guys..." He motioned for everyone to back up, which they did, I was still nervous about the whole thing, so I spoke up one last time.

"Wayne, are you sure this is safe?" I asked.

He groaned. "YES Y/N!"

He cracked his knuckles before lighting the firework, little did he know, the wick was short, the blast started immediately, Wayne didn't have time to back up from it. Sparks of the firework went flying all over him, he was screaming and crying out, the firework then proceeded to blast into the air, making all kinds of colourful shapes. Wayne stumbled around the driveway, and hit his head on his car, and fell down.

His mom and Dina screamed, his mom then pushed Dina away so she couldn't see anymore of it. My mom screamed at me to go inside and call 911, so I did. I ran into the house and into the kitchen where my phone was, I leaned on the sink looking out the window to watch them as I waited for 911 to pick up.

"911 what's your emergency?" The man on the line spoke.

"A firework just blew up in my cousins face." I answered calmly.

"A firework, how did this happen?" He asked, I could hear him typing and quietly talking to his coworkers.

"He lit a firework and the wick was short, he didn't back up in time before it blew up in his face." I explained, biting and picking at my nails.

"Okay, I see. Is it just you and your cousin."

"No sir- Are you sending someone?" I ask.

"Yes, now who else is in the house with you?"

"My mom, little brother, My aunt, him, his girlfriend and his sister" I look back out the window.

"Okay, just hang tight, an ambulance will be there soon."

I nod, even though he can't see it.

I arrive at the hospital, my mom, Sonny and me follow the ambulance. Dina, my aunt and Barb went in there with him. As we walk to the front desk, I look around the bland white waiting room, until I spot someone who makes my heart drop. Ricky's mother. I signal to my mom i'll be back before going to sit by her, she has an empty seat.

"Hi.." I spoke.

"Hello..." I can tell she doesn't remember who I am.

"I-I am a friend of Ricky's, I came here because a firework blew up into my cousins face, but, anyway, why are you here..?" I ask, praying to God that Ricky is okay.

"It's Ricky..." She starts, it is then when she looks up and I can see the tears in her eyes.

Shit.

"I- What happened..?" I ask.
