Do It All Again

I Know You're Nervous

"Ricky, good. You're here. What took you so long?" My dad said, as I walked into the house.

"I walked." I said, taking off my jacket.

"Why didn't you just ask Nini for a ride home? She drove you there, didn't she?" He responded, arching his eyebrows.

"I don't know...I just panicked, okay." I said, shrugging and dropping myself onto the couch.

"Well, your mom is going to be here within the hour. Get up. You need to help me clean up the house." He stated, picking me up from the couch.

"Maybe if you just cleaned the house on a regular basis, you wouldn't have to worry so much when Mom came to visit." I suggested, picking up stuff from the floor.

"Must I bring up the mess that is your room? You can't even see the floor." He retorted, cleaning up with me.

"So? It's not like Mom will want to go into my room. She'll definitely notice the living room, though, and the kitchen." I explained, rolling my eyes. "I was supposed to be having fun with my friends, ya know. Plus, I don't see why Mom is bothering to show up here. She's already ruined everything." I added, grabbing a broom.

"I'm not too happy about this either, but I'm trying to let her work things out on her own. If she's trying to make an effort with you, I'm not going to stand in her way." My dad replied, straightening out the couch.

"Since when are you this mature?"

"She's here, Ricky!" My dad yelled, as I sat on my bed, scrolling through Insta. Nini seemed to be having a blast with everyone, which made me happy for her. Yet, I couldn't help but feel jealous. I was supposed to be with them. Instead, there I was, waiting for my mom who was meant to have gotten there almost two hours before.

"Coming, Dad!" I yelled to him, turning off my phone and putting it on my nightstand.

"Oh, honey, it's so good to see you." My mom said, pulling me into a big hug.

"Mhm." I replied, nodding my head.

"I've, honestly, missed you so much." She added, putting down her bag.

"If that were true, you wouldn't have decided to leave me." I replied, rolling my eyes and sitting down on the couch.

"Honey, are you still upset about that? I thought you understood that your father and I just weren't happy together. It happens to even the best couples, like you and Nini." She responded, shaking her head.

"What are you talking about? Nini and I got back together...on Opening Night. Right after the performance was over, I told her how much I loved her and how terrible I felt when I didn't say it the first time. She understood and we're together again. Maybe if you were actually around, you'd know what goes on in my life..." I ranted, anger building up inside of me. "You know what? I don't want to talk to you! I'm going back to my room...I can't believe I ditched my friends for this. I was just being oblivious to the fact that you are just never going to change..." I added, storming into my room and slamming the door shut.

Tears in my eyes, I sent Nini a text.

A/N:The messages might be messed up cause I can't get it to be compatible for both phone screens and computer screens. Also, his mom is staying in a hotel not in the house cause that'd be kinda weird now that they split up for real for real. She might still hang around the house, though, so she can spend time with Ricky. Still, I hope u like my fan fic so far. also I know u can't see other people's contact name from ur phone but I wanted you guys to know what her contact name for him is so yea anyways like I said I hope you're enjoying reading my fic, if u are feel free to vote and comment💖 

More recent A/n: I got some new apps to make the social media aspect more realistic; also one of the messages says it's from nini but it was supposed to be from Ricky so just ignore that ty✌🏼
