Flashback - 7 years ago

Me and Ricky have been really good friends for as long as we can remember. He kissed me once but we are both too young to date.

I have a really big crush on him. I think he feels the same way too. I wish we could go on a date.

Right now we are hanging out with our parents watching a movie.

"Hey Nini?"

"What's up Ricky?"

"I really like you. Like, like like you. But I know we are to young so I have a deal."

"What's that?" She asked curiously.

"How about when we are 17 years old, I will take you on a date. To a very romantic place, and I will bring you 12 roses." She was so happy. "You okay with that?"

"Yeah, I am so very okay with that." They both smiled and hugged. They sat closer to each other on the couch as they finished watching Lemonade Mouth.

Present Day

That day was 7 years ago. Now Nini is sitting on her bed looking at photo albums. All of the pictures are of her and Ricky. Some of them on trips, at the park, her on his back, or them hugging.

She started tearing up, knowing that he wasn't gonna take her on a date. She was full on crying now, thinking about what his mom did.

Flashback - 2 years ago

"I want him to move to Chicago with me!"

"He's not going!" Ricky's mom and dad were fighting while we were hanging out.

We were on his bed with his arms around me when we heard a door slam. We knew what was happening so we cuddled closer.

"Nini, I don't want to move. I don't want to leave you."

"I don't want you to leave either." She hugged him tighter.

"He's moving, end of story. If you want we can take this to court."

"Fine, but he's coming back for senior year. So he can spend it where he actually wants to be."

"No, Ricky you can't leave me." She started crying. I pulled her up to me.

"Hey, even if I do, we will call everyday, I will visit during breaks, and it will only be 3 years. We can get through this. I promise." He grabbed her hand, while holding her as tight as possible.

Present Day

That was the last time she saw him in person. His mom didn't want him to visit at all. They called for the first year but then lost touch.

She wishes he didn't leave that he could stay with her. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her front door. She heard people talking then heard the door close.

"Hey Nini?" Momma D came in her room.

"What's up Momma D?"

"Come with me." She grabbed her red dress with red heels. "Put this on."

"Why?"

"Just do it." She nodded. "Come here, let me do your makeup and hair." Nini was so confused. But she agreed.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"You'll see." She got her natural makeup with curled hair. She put some jewelry on and her mom grabbed her hand. She brought her downstairs.

Nini started tearing up. It was Ricky standing at the bottom of the stairs with flowers. 12 roses to be exact.

"R-Ricky? Is it really you?"

"Yeah Nins, it is."

"What are you doing here?"

"Did you really forget?"

"Forget what?" She was drawing a blank. She had no idea what he was talking about.

"I promised you when we were 10 years old, I would take you out on a fancy date with 12 roses when we were 17. We are 17 and we are starting senior year soon. I'm moving back."

She ran down the stairs to him and hugged him. She couldn't let him go again.

"So Nini, I have to ask you. Will you go on a date with me?" She just nodded as she kissed him. He was shocked but kissed back.

"You beat me to that. I was gonna do it after the date, but I like this better."

They went on their date and had the best time ever.
