Is This Love?

Chapter 9

Thoughts run through Ben's head. He couldn't believe he had just admitted to his bestfriend that he almost killed someone. Henry had left about an hour ago with shock and mixed emotion all over his face unsure of how he felt about his friend. "What have I done," Ben says as he throws his head into his lap as he racks through his brain trying to find words to describe how he felt right now. Miserable. Guilty. Those were two perfect words that were floating around in his brain right now as he left himself in his thoughts. He felt something pop up in his brain as he thought of an idea. He smiled before picking up his green long strap bag and heads out the door to his destination across town to make things right for everyone hopefully.

Amy settled into her parents house holding her baby John in her hands not wanting to let go. He squirmed in her hands trying to be free and she obeys and opens her long arms to let him jump down from her lap and running into the living room to ppay with his circle of toys. Ricky walks into the room to see Amy staring at John. "Hey Amy," Ricky says bringing Amy out of her heavy thoughts. Her head snaps up and she makes contact with Ricky.

"Oh hi Ricky," Amy states shyly while rubbing the back of her neck as red stained her cheeks. Ricky smirks at her before taking a seat in the chair directly across from her. She turns toward him and folds her arms on the top of the table awaiting for his next words.

"How does it feel to be back here?" Ricky asks her. She shrugs her shoulders before looking back at a smiling and giggling John playing with his favorite bear. Teddy.

"It feels kinda good. I mean other than me not knowing who my family is other than John," Amy sighs before pushing her bangs out of her hazel eyes that gleamed with slight hope that she would remember who her family was soon.

"Time will tell. You will know who they are and what they mean to you soon and I guarantee that," Ricky reassures her. She smiles.

"I hope I will. It feels like I am not apart of their family. I feel like I am a stranger staying at their house,"

"Yea I understand how you feel and It will get better. I promise," Ricky states.

"Thank you Ricky for everything," Amy smiles.

"No problem and I intend to keep helping you through this until you feel comfortable and you are able to remember everything about your life," Ricky says grabbing Amy's hand and holding it. She throws a sweet smile his way.

"Daddy. Mommy. Wook what I found," John says running up to his mom and dad. They look at him with confused expressions. He points toward the door. Amy gets up first and comes in contact with an unfamiliar young man standing in the doorway of her house.

"Oh hi Amy," the man says and when his eyes land on Amy they light up like its the fourth of July.

Amy looks at him with confused eyes and a tear slips out of her eyes. Ricky gulps knowing Amy doesn't remember who Ben is either.

"I don't know how you are," Amy cries before pushing her head onto Ricky's shoulder and letting s couple of tears slip out from her eyes. Ricky hugs her and Ben looks at them heartbroken.

"Amy can I talk to him alone?" Ricky asks Amy as she lifts her small head off of his broad shoulder. She nods her head a bit before grabbing John from the couch and going upstairs.

Ricky sits on the couch and Bens sits on the other on with their eyes locked onto each other. "What are you doing here?" Ricky asks him leaning forward a bit.

"I just wanted to see if she was okay,"

"Well she isn't so now you can go," Ricky replys while pointing to the door.

"No. I want to know what is going on and how she is feeling. I want to be there for her like I am always have been there for her," Ben states not moving an inch from his small spot on the couch. Ricky nods his head a bit.

"Even though. You didn't once visit her in the hospital. I guess I should at least tell you this," Ricky says. Ben tilts his head in a bit of confusion.

"She has temporary memory loss,"

"What?" Ben asks.

"Yea thats almost the exactly the response me and George did when we found out,"

"Wait you and George were actually close?" Ben asks leaning in as if he was getting gossip. Ricky nods his head.

"Yea well except for Ashley hated my guts," Ricky comments.

"Why?" Ben asks him. Ricky shakes his head gently.

"I did something stupid," Ricky whispers.

"What did you do?"

"I kissed her," Ricky simply says.

"Oh," Ben let's out before leaning back with a guilty look on his face. He did something worse than just kiss a girl. He went all the way with Adrian.

"Yea oh. Maybe you should go now and come visit her in a couple of days," Ricky answers. Ben nods his head before making his way to the door and leaving. Ricky sighs and falls onto the couch letting thoughts sink deep into his brain.

"He is taking care of her of course when she is lost and confused about everything," Ben exclaims to the girl he had a faithful night with.

"Well did she forget him?" Adrian asks Ben. He shrugs his shoulders.

"How am I suppose to know. He practically kicked me out of the house like it was my fault or something," Ben lets out followed by a small guilt laugh as beats of sweat cover his forehead.

"You know Ricky though,"

"Yea I know, but he was being so protected over her. Like she was his property," Ben states with disgust washing over his face.

"Maybe it has nothing to do with that. He could have developed feelings for her possibly while they were in New York," Adrian simply states.

"No they didn't he is just trying to brainwash Amy into sleeping with him like he did before except this time she is confused and unsure about the world, so Ricky can pretend to be the good guy and post me as the bad boy," Ben snorts with anger on his face clearly.

"Ben come on I really doubt he would try and take advantage of Amy,"

"Adrian I thought you loved him. Why are you trying to make it look like maybe he actually has some sort of feelings toward Amy like he cares about her?" Ben asks her. She smiles at him.

"Well I think I may like someone else now. Someone who I know will stick by my life no matter what happens," Adrian says looking up at Ben.

He looks back at her confused.

"And who is this lovely guy who you think swept you off your feet?" He raises an eyebrow at her. She rolls her eyes at him before cupping his face in her delicately new manicured hands.

"You," she states simply before crushing her lips with his as passion exploded in the kiss making Ben melt into the kiss like he did the one night in his car when they conceived his baby now growing inside of Adrian that he never thought he would love, but he did love the baby. He didn't know if he felt the same about Adrian. He was ready to explore that idea and figure that all out before it was to late. He pulls out of the kiss and they stare intensively into each other eyes with such much passion.

"Adrian, I am ready to explore that option with you," he tells her. She smiles before grabbing his face again and kisses him. His hands find the right place on her waist and her arms link around his neck. Maybe one day this could become young love for them. This could be the start to something big.
