Ricky's P.O.V.
It was the 23rd of December and I was in my hometown San Antonio. Me and mom flew here today and now we where at my dad's house to spend Christmas with him, my brother's and my grandparents. I was laying on my back on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. I thought about Zoe and everything she said. It was literally everything I could think about since our argue 3 days ago. Suddenly the door to my room opened and my mom came in.
"Are you okay sweetie? You've been really down these last days" She said.
"I don't know... there's this thing that bothers me which I can't stop thinking about" I said as I sat up in the bed.
"What is it? Do you want to talk about it?" She said and walked over to sit down on the side of my bed.
"Well, you know Joby's niece Zoe right?" I said.
"Yeah, she's a lovely girl. Didn't you take her out last week?" She said.
"Yeah I did... but we kind of had an argue three days ago before they went to the UK..." I said.
"Oh, what was the argue about?" She asked.
"She got upset because I didn't say in an interview that she is my girlfriend when they asked. Like I only want to protect her from all the hate" I said.
"I understand... but maybe you could try to see things from her point of view too? Like what did she say about the hate and what was her arguments?" She said.
"She said she didn't cared about the hate and that I shouldn't let the fans who sends hate win. She also said that it's not right to the fans to have a secret relationship behind their backs. Also she thought I wasn't proud to be with her and that's why I didn't wanted to tell everyone that she's my girlfriend" I said.
"That sounds pretty wise if you think about it honey, like your fans deserves to know and if they really support you they'll be happy for you. And the same goes with the hate, you can't let them get between you two. If you really love her you should be with her and whatever might happen you'll get through it together" She said.
"I do love her, more than I've ever loved anyone... you're right mom, I shouldn't let the hate or anything get between us. I guess it was me who was abit scared of hate and not her...." I said.
"Then talk to her once we get back home before New Year's" She said.
"Yeah but I can't wait to New Year's, I need to speak with her right now, and not on the phone" I said and stood up.
"Sweetie she's in Edinburgh to spend christmas with her family. She's miles away from you. It's not like you can only walk down the street to see her like you can in LA" She said.
"I know... I'll just have to go there and talk with her " I said.
"It's christmas day soon can't you wait until after?" She said.
"I'm sorry mom, I need to see her. I know it's christmas and you are supposed to spend time with your family, but she's also important to me. I only want her wrapped up for christmas and nothing else. I'm going to surprise her" I said.
"Okay you can go to Edinburgh, because she makes you happy and that's what you should be during christmas" She said.
"Thanks so much mom! I promise we can facetime and stuff on Christmas Day" I said and gave her a hug.
I then took up my laptop and 10 minutes later I had booked a flight from San Antonio and Edinburgh for tomorrow. It was going to be a long journey with two stopovers until I'd arrive on Christmas day. That night I fell asleep really happy because I now know what matters to me and it's not the hate.
