High School is History

All Of Me!

A/N Just a warning this chapter is going to be kind of long.

Disclaimer: It's been 6 weeks since Ricky accepted Tony's offer. Nini has officially moved back to Salt Lake and it's time for Ricky to leave. :(

Ricky POV:

Tonight is my last night in Salt Lake and not gonna lie I'm a little upset. These last 6 weeks have gone by so fast. Nini has been living back at home for about a week now and it has been amazing but it has also been really hard knowing we have to say goodbye again. My first stop on tour is London which is 4,858 miles away from the love of my life. My flight is at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow. I was lost in thought when I heard a knock, the door open and a small voice whisper.

"Ricky?" In walks Nini with her overnight bag. She is staying with me tonight since it is our last night together much like I did the night before she left for Denver.

"Hey beautiful!" I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist. "How's my girl doing this fine evening?"

"I'm okay. Are you done packing?" She say quietly.

"Almost, is something wrong?" I say with a concerned look on my face.

"No, I'm fine." She looks at her feet. I lift her chin so her eyes meet mine.

"Nini you know I know you better than that. What's up."

"It's just... I'm just... I don't know."

"No no. Tell me whats bothering you. Do you not want me to go it's not to late to back out."

"NO! Richard Michael Bowen you are going end of discussion." I step back with my hands up surrendering as she stands with her arms crossed, glaring at me. 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay!" I say stepping back putting my hands on her hips. "Tell me what's wrong."

"I- I'm just really going to miss you." She pushes herself into my arms and buries her face in my shirt.

"I know baby,  I'm gonna miss you  too." I lean my head on hers and we stand there swaying holding each other until my dad walks in.

"Hey Rick?" I look up at him and Nini stays in her same position. "Oh never mind i'll talk to you later."

"No dad you're fine we were just talking."

"Okay well I was just coming to make sure all your bags are packed and you have your passport and everything ready to go." 

"Yeah I just need to get my bathroom stuff in the morning but other than that I'm done."

"Good, then I will give you two some alone time."

"Night dad."

"Goodnight." I unwrap my arms from Nini and pull her to my bed.

"Do you want to get into some more comfy clothes before we get into bed? I left out a pair of my sweatpants and a sweatshirt for you to keep while I'm gone if you want to where that." She nods her head slowly. "Okay." I say standing up, kissing her head and going over to grab the clothes.

"Thank you." She says as she takes the clothes and goes to change. All I can do is smile as I watch her walk to my bathroom. When she walks back out I just look at her and say.

"Better?" She once again nods her head and walks over to where I am sitting in my bed. She crawls up next to me and lays her head in my lap. (Like the scene from the first episode but reversed) I stroke her hair with my hand and smile. "What ya thinking about?"

"Us."

"Yeah, and what about us?"

"Can we do this?" She says as she sits up to look at me. " I mean can we be this far away from each other for his long and make it work?"
