Grace asked me . " Hey grace I guess I'm doing alright"I tell her. "What do you mean I guess ?"She asked me. "Well I don't know" I say to her. "Adrian what's wrong ? "She asks me . "I don't really want to talk about it grace" I say to her . "Why not? Come on Adrian I'm your best friend . I'm here for you" she says to me . "Oh thank you so much grace"I say to her and then give her a hug . "It's okay that's what I'm here for"she says to me. "Now Adrian please tell us what's wrong ?"She asks me . "Well I don't really know what's wrong to be honest"I say to them.
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're talking about" grace tells me. "It's just that I haven't heard from Ricky in a few days and I can't help but thinking there's something wrong" I say to her. "What do you mean ?" Grace asked me . "Well I'm not really sure what I mean  to be honest grace" I say to her. "I just have this feeling that there's something wrong" I say to her. "Well okay so what do you want to do about it ?" Grace asks me . I think for a moment and then I say "I'm going to call Ricky and see what's going on with him" I say to her and jack . "Alright Adrian you do that"grace says to me . "I think it's a good idea that you call Ricky and find out what's wrong"she says to me before giving me another hug . "Remember I'm here for you if you need or want to talk to someone" she says to me before walking away with Jack . "I know you are grace"I say to her. "Thank you so much our friendship means a lot to me "I say to her . I lock my locker before pulling out my cell phone and selecting Ricky's cell phone number on my speed dial list .

Ricky POV

Just as I got John settled down and back into his swing I Sat back down at the kitchen table and started to eat my breakfast . Not long after that my cell phone started to ring . I pull my phone out and look at the caller ID . I see that it's my girlfriend Adrian . So I decide to pick it up. "Hello Adrian"I say to her. "Good morning sexy"she says to me in a seductive voice .  "Look Adrian I'm not really in the mood to play games with you this morning" I say to her in a serious manner . "Why not? What's wrong ?" She asks me. "I don't know let me see this morning at 3:30 Amy drops John off on my doorstep . She explained to me that she can't deal with being a teenage mother "I tell her . "I've been up since then taking care of John" I say to Adrian as I take a sip of my coffee . "What the hell? Are you serious Ricky? "She asked me. "Do you think I'm crazy ? Yes Adrian of course I'm serious"I say to her. "Oh my god Ricky I'm so sorry" she says to me . "Adrian don't be its not your fault "I say to her. "Ricky I have something to confess to you"she says to me . "Yes Adrian what is it?" I asked her . "I have to be honest with you" she says to me. "Believe me I enjoy the time that we spend together but to be completely honest with you Ricky especially now that  amy is out of the picture I honestly don't think that I can deal with the responsibilities of being a stepmother to your son" she says to me. There is a few moments of silence . I am completely taken aback by what Adrian has just told me . "Are you serious Adrian ? "I asked her. "Did you just break up with me ?" I asked her . "Yes Ricky I am completely serious"she says to me. "I don't think it's fair for me to be leading you on especially considering the circumstances" she says to me.  "Fine! Adrian" I say to her and then hang up my phone . I think to myself for a few minutes as I continued to eat my breakfast. It sucks that Adrian just broke up with me . But if I am being completely honest with myself right now I know that the most important thing for me to do right now is to do what is best for my son . The most important thing is that I focus on his needs and not my own . Besides especially because he is so young it is vitally important that I spend as much time bonding with him that I can .
