⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Dear John" I said, throwing the DVD at Ricky who was currently sitting on my couch in the livingroom. "No way" He said, shaking his head. "Okay, Titanic" I said, grabbing an another DVD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Or Letters to Juliet." I chirped, jumping on the couch, next to Ricky. "You only want to watch these movies because you think the actors are hot." Ricky smirked, crossing his arms. "No, I want to watch these movies because they're super romantic" I said, scooting closer to him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"And Leonardo just happens to be kind of hot so, that's just a bonus" I giggled. Ricky groaned and grabbed me by my waist, pulling me on his lap. "Too bad for Leonardo that you're mine" He whispered, kissing me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I laughed and went with my fingers through his hair, something I always do when we kiss. I love doing it, and Ricky loves it as well. "Talking about that, it's almost our six months anniversary." I said, smiling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky grinned and pulled me closer, "I know, you don't think I was going to forget something special like that, do you?" He asked. "In exactly eight days, 22 hours and 48minutes" He joked. "You moron" I giggled, while I rolled my eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I giggled again and stared into his eyes. "Six months, wow" I breathed, "I can't believe that I'm saddled with you for almost half a year" I teased him, while I poked him in his stomach with my pointing finger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I know I demanded myself not to fall in love with this guy. But lately, I forgot about this stupid cliché list. I don't even know why I ever started it, because clearly, Ricky is not as I thought he would be. And Maddie? Well, Maddie kind of hates me since I'm more popular, and she didn't say a word to me ever since she called me a whore... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky smiled and grabbed my hands, and suddenly I saw how he turned more serious. His eyes were thoughtful, instead of kittenish, and it made me kind of nervous. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Chloe are you ashamed for me?" He asked quietly, while he stared directly into my eyes. "Ashamed?" I asked, raising my eyebrows. "W- Why would you think something like that? Of course not." I said. "I was just joking." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"B- Because... I don't know, we're dating for almost six months now, and you've met my family and stuff. But always if I want to meet your mother, you always find an excuse so that I won't see her. I want to meet your family as well, Chloe." He said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I bit my lip and looked down. "I just don't want you to meet my mother" I quietly said, nervously playing with my hands. "So you are embarrassed of me?" He asked, and I could hear how hurt he was. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I slowly shook my head, and went with my hands through my hair, while I took a deep breath. "No, I love you" I breathed, "and you're handsome, and sweet, and cute and I would never be embarrassed of you." I said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"When I walk with you on the streets, or through the halls of school, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I've never been so proud to tell someone that you are my boyfriend, so please, don't think this..." I said, striking his jawline with my thumbs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Rickys smile popped up on his face again, but still, his eyes were filled with concern. "Then what's wrong, Chlo? You know you can tell me everything." He whizzed, cupping my face in his hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I swallowed the lump in my throat and closed my eyes for a brief moment. "I'm ashamed of my mother, Ricky." I whispered, "she's an alcoholic, and she sleeps with her boss like too much..." I said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"My father died when I was ten, and ever since then, she's not how she used to be." I explained, "she doesn't give a damn about me, and that's why I'm always alone at home... She's never here, never" I said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I didn't even notice I started crying, until Ricky wiped away the tears which were flowing down my cheeks. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you" I sobbed, while I burried my head on his chest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Ricky put his arms around me and hugged me, kissing my hair softly by doing that. "Don't be" He whispered. I looked up and stared into his eyes, while he gently pressed his lips against mine. "I love you, no matter what" He murmered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"I love you too" I said. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀And I guess that this was the first time I realized that I'm speaking the truth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I love Ricky Garcia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
