Like any good story, this one starts with a funeral.
Chris's girlfriend, Mindy Forino, went missing six years ago.
Well, maybe "went missing" isn't the best way of phrasing it. She ran away. Just as her relationship with Chris was finally getting to blossom in the way they'd both always wanted it to. After an unexpected and ugly tragedy, Mindy left a letter that very vaguely explained that she "had to leave," and that was that. No one knew where she was, or if she was even alive, for six years. There were rumors as to why she left, mostly having to do with the fact that her last boyfriend before Chris had wound up dead in a ditch, but Chris knew Mindy, and knew that there had to be some other reason as to why she'd left. He just wished that she could have told him, and that he could have helped her.
So imagine Chris's surprise when, after all those years of being bitter at Mindy's disappearance, she shows up back in town for her father's funeral - and she isn't alone, walking into the funeral with a little girl at her side. Now it would seem that Mindy would be back in town permanently, taking over the bookstore her father had run when he was alive. It doesn't take long for Chris to remember just how in love with her he was when she disappeared, and he soon makes it his mission to find out why she'd left, why she was still being so secretive, and if the two of them would ever be able to find love with each other again.

For a Ricky FanFic anyway. :) Curse words are censored, up until I finally decided I didn't give a fuckle puck. ~ "I don't like you, and you don't like me." I started, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes slightly. "And that is something everyone has noticed, recently. Especially Chris." "Congratulations," His voice dripped with sarcasm. "You managed to figure that out. I'm proud of you!" He clapped with mock enthusiasm. Digging my nails into my biceps to keep from slapping that stupid look off his face, I continued. "Chris wants us to try to get along." "Yeah, we'll see how that brilliant plan works out." He rolled his eyes, turning to walk away. "F.cker." I spat hatefully. "B.tch." He spat back, whipping his head around to glare at me. I glared right back. F.ck, I hate him. ~ Cast: Chrissy Costanza as Mykailla Bates. (A couple years younger) Daren Kagasoff as Michael "Micah" Bates. Unless stated otherwise; alllllllll the Band Members mentioned will be themselves. ~ Age Ranges: Chris: 26 Ricky: 24 Micah: 22 Mykailla: 19Complete
