Nini's POV
It's been a week since Thanksgiving. It's been a week since Brayden and me fought. It's been a week since he left and we took a break. This whole week no one knows besides my moms because it was on their front lawn. But I have been keeping my head down and working on the last minute touches before Christmas. I have been ok but not the best. I think Ricky knows that something is up. We were just trying to fix some things up when Ricky walked up,
"hey what's up?" He asked me,
"hey! Nothing you?" I asked back,
"umm nothing. Can we talk?" He asked me,
"what's up?" I said,
"are you ok? Since Thanksgiving you have been kind of down!" He said,
"ummm yeah I'm ok!" I said,
"are you sure?" Ricky asked,
"actually not really!" I said,
"what's up? Wanna grab something to eat?" He asked and I shook my head yes. When we get there we both sat down and ordered.
"Ok what's up? Why are you so down?" He asked me,
"It's Brayden!" I said,
"what did that asshole do?" He asked and I laughed,
"basically after the whole dinner thing and the lighting of the tree he decided to pick a fight." I said,
"how so?" He asked me,
"he told me that this town was holding me back and I have no talent. He said that I was still in love with you." I tell him,
"I'm sorry but asshole!" He said,
"well then I asked him to go back to New York and we are in a break." I tell him,
"that sucks I'm sorry!" He said,
"it's whatever but I have mixed feelings about it!" I said, "how about you? How are you since that night?"
"I'm ok! It was really hard to hear but they have been divorced since I was 17 so I'm used to it." He said,
"yeah but still he should not of said it." I said,
"he should not of said it but it's whatever!" He said and our food came out. The rest of the night we ate and just talked and all of my worries went away.
Ricky's POV
We say there for the whole night and just really talked and I can't remember the last time I did this.
"Ok truth time!" I said,
"what's up?"I said as she takes a sip of her wine,
"how did you deal with the breakup?" I asked,
"why is this a question?" She asked,
"because I'm curious!" I said,
"ok fine! It was hard at first but I kind of buried my head in my school work. Then it got better! How about you mr. famous singer?" She asked me,
"I wrote a lot songs that made me the person I am today." I said,
"how so?" She asked,
"my first album that was all about you!" I admitted,
"really?" She asked and I shook my head yes, "well that's a better way to deal with it. Me I just put so much work on me!" She said and we talked for another hour and I drove her home. I walked her to her front door.
"Why does this feel like a date?" She said,
"we talked for hours and I am now walking you to your door." I said,
"yeah that's probably it!" She said,
"tonight was fun! I don't remember the last time I talked to anyone like that." I said,
"yeah I became kind of closed off after the breakup." She says and we became physically closed. But she backed off,
"I'm sorry but I'm kind still in a relationship!" She said,
"yeah of course. It makes sense," I said and she went into her house. I got back into my car and drive home and when I got there I just thought.
Nini! My high school sweetheart! My best friend! But the girl that got away! The girl who came back engaged to the guy who she told me not to worry about. That guy who ended up to be an asshole. But Nini became the person she always wanted to be. And I'm proud of her because of that and high school was fun but it's over. People always says that you will always love your first love but will you always be in love with your first love?
Nini's POV
When he dropped me off I showered and climbed into bed. Went on my phone and saw this.This put me down even more. I don't know if it was true but it felt like it was. Was this really the end of their relationship? Then my mind wondered to Ricky Bowen. My first love! My first non toxic relationships but also possibly my best one. Brayden was ok but no one even compared to Ricky! Out of all of my relationships I always just threw stuff away. But I still wore her guitar pick on a chain around my neck or I sometimes even use it. People are right it's so hard to let go of your first love! I was still in love with him.
"Shit! I'm still in love with Ricky!" I said as I came to the realization of it.
General POV
Something that she did not know was that Carol was on the other side of the door when Nini admitted it. Carol was so excited to tell her wife and Mike. They did it! Sometimes the parents have the best plans!
Author's note:
Sorry this took so long! Wattpad is being weird and not loading my stories but someone told me how to get to them. So they are both whipped again!
Lots of Love, Lily
