With You

Chapter 18

Nini's POV

I was laying in bed with Ricky. We were watching some show but to be honest it was more background noise than anything. After his freakout in the hall he went to his therapist and his therapist did decide he had a form of PTSD. He recommended another medications and Ricky accepted. He told me later he just wanted to feel normal again. After finding out Ricky apologized to my moms about being such a mess and needing so much.

"Nonsense Ricky," My momma D told him. "We want the best for you."

Ricky was playing with his hands and staring out at nothing. A sign he had something on his mind.

"What' on your mind Ricky?" I asked him softly. Since living here Ricky has been more open with sharing with me what's on his mind. Therapy was really helping him.

"Just what that guy said. Is E.J. going to leave me?" Ricky said. "I have a lot going on and a lot of problems and I don't know, I feel like I'm over thinking."

"Ricky, E.J. loves you. I don't think he's going to leave you. There's nothing wrong with you and not to be dramatic but I'm sure E.J. would die for you." I told him laughing at the end. Ricky smiled and giggled too. My phone dinged indicating I got a text.

Groupchat: We would die for Ricky Bowen

Seb: Is Ricky okay???

Carlos:^^

Nini: He's fine. He went to his therapist. He got  diagnosed with PTSD

Kourtney: Poor Thing

E.J.: Wait, what happened

Gina: I'll call and explain

E.J.:Kk

Ashlyn: I baked some cookies can I come over?

Seb: Lol Ashlyn I baked muffins

Nini: You can all come over if you want

Big Red: Party at Nini's

E.J.: I just found out what happened. I want to kick some ass. Be there in a few

I locked my phone and told Ricky everyone was coming over. E.J. was there first which really surprised no one. The second he saw Ricky, Ricky was in his arms.

"Hey get off my brother dude," I said jokingly. E.J. let go of Ricky anyways and pulled me to the side.

"Is he gonna be okay?" He whispered to me glancing at Ricky. Ricky was now letting in Seb and Carlos who had just arrived.

"I think and hope so," I told him. "He's coping really well with this."

"I feel so bad he's going through all of this and I'm graduating soon. I know I'll be an hour away but I'm gonna miss him," E.J. sighed. Graduation was in a month. E.J. and Ricky would be apart from each other. "Anyways have you talked to Gina? Or Even Ricky about that school?"

E.J.'s question filled me with guilt. Only he and my moms knew about the Youth Actor's Conservatory. They asked me to attend their school starting in fall. I really wanted too but I didn't want to leave my life behind.

"No, with everything that's been happening, it just doesn't feel right." I told him.

"What doesn't feel right?" Gina questioned. I didn't even know she arrived yet. I swallowed a lump in my throat. It shouldn't be this hard to tell her. It's just telling her. I might not even take the offer yet.

"Babe is everything okay?" Gina asked her voice filled with worry. I guess it's now or never.
