''Uh Audrey I have to talk to you,'' Hearing him again makes me realize how much I've missed his voice.

''What do you want to talk about?'' I start playing with my hair to ease the nerves that were getting to me. Does he want to talk about Keta?

''I wanted to...'' I heard voices in the background mumbling stuff that I couldn't understand through the phone. ''...apologies for snapping at you.''

''What?'' Am I the only one who finds it strange his saying sorry?

''I said I'm sorry.'' He said one thing, but you can tell by his tone he didn't mean it. The voices in the back must have been Emery and Jon forcing him to say it, that's why he hesitated.

Thinking back to what Vanessa told me it made me understand. I have snapped at people to and been rude. ''You don't have to say sorry, Ricky.''

''Just say' I accept your apology'.'' Well he's not in a good mood.

''No,'' He huffed, and groaned like a baby. ''I should be the one saying sorry.''

''Audrey-''

''Ricky I'm sorry for prying, I was just...I'm sorry.''

''Uhh...'' The mumbling was back, ''I'll accept your if you accept mine, deal?''

''Deal,'' And with that I promise myself to stop finding Ricky's history. He wants it hidden from everyone, that includes me.

''Okay now that's over with I'll be leaving you alone-''

''Wait is that the only reason you called?'' Please don't hang up, not yet.

''Yeah pretty much, why?''

''I thought- nothing tell the guys hi for me,'' I bite my lip waiting for him.

''Yeah sure,'' A cracking sound is heard then someone signs, ''Hi, Audrey!'' It's a both Jon and Emery.

''Hi guys,'' A smile appears in my face again.

During the whole talk none of us mentioned Keta nor Margo which was good since that would have just added tension. I didn't stop smiling the whole hour we talked before they had to leave. Locking my phone I skipped down the stairs to find my mom where I left her.

She turned to me from the Tv and patted on the space beside her. "So?''

''So what?'' Leaning back I look at the screen showing Fresh Of The Boat. I laughed at Eddie and his Grandma when mom spoke again.

''Is he going to visit?''

''He didn't say anything about that. Mom why would Ricky come and visit us?''

''Visit you, too see you.'' I rolled my eyes earning a slight slap on my shoulder.

''Mom after this Ricky will forget me,'' Why would either of the guys want to remember me. That week was fun and the scar on my foot will be a permanent memory of those days.

''Oh mom I wanted to ask you if I could go to Six Flags with Vanessa and Parker this Saturday?''

''Honey I work on Friday-'' she started shaking her head.

''Mom, Parker's brother is taking us so don't worry about a ride.''

''How many boys are going?''

I shrugged, "I don't know. All I know is that Parker, his brother, and for sure this other guy, also me and Vanessa.''

''What time are you coming back?''

''No clue. I'll call you when I'm there, so can I go?'' It feels weird asking to go somewhere. I didn't go out with my friends since that day feeling like I don't have the right to have fun when my pieces of my heart were missing. That's another reason that was at the back of my head when I made the decision to participate in the contest.
