Waking up the first thing I see is Ricky looking adorable as ever laying on my bed sound asleep.

I smile getting out of bed carefully not to wake him he looks to peaceful right now I'll just wait until he gets up himself.

Beep!

: Can we hang out today or is it not a good time?

: Sure, I wanted to take Ricky to the park anyway

: oh yeah what time should I come pick you two up

: I'd say around twelve

I finish my conversation with Mark. I made sure to bring Ricky to see if he was serious about not being jealous of him anymore.

"Liam, Ethan" I call out but get no answer, so I yell their names again and still no answer. I go downstairs and see a note in the fridge saying that they won't be back until later.

Oh well don't have to argue with them about going out with Mark.

I go out food and water into Ricky's bowl for him to eat while I have cereal for breakfast, I can't believe they didn't make me breakfast but can do anything for me as they say.

I wash my bowl when I'm done going to take a shower. I'm hanging out with Mark, so I don't have to look like I'm going out with my boyfriend or anything I'll just stick to something simple.

***

"Come on Ricky" I run to the swings, and he follows while Mark is walking behind us. Ricky runs off into the doggie area of the park while I sit on the swing watching him play with the other pups.

Out of nowhere I feel myself being lifted in the air, looking back Mark pushes me forward each time I swing back to him.

"This reminds me of when we were little, I use to push you on the swing all the time"

"Yeah, I use to make you push me until it was time to go home"

"I remember I always enjoyed just pushing you on the swing your smile and laugh is so adorable" I smile at the memories of me and Mark we had some very fun times together.

"Do you think we messed it all up by dating?"

"No, I don't think that at all I mean yeah it tested our relationship and we had a couple of challenges here and there, but I'll never give up on you, on us." He says, I look back at him and he smiles a heartwarming smile that I love so much.

"You know your pretty cute when you smile Mark"

"Thank you, angel," his voice was soft and smooth like he was at peace with just pushing me on the swing.

We talk about old times until it starts to get late, I hop off the swing and head to the doggie area to get my Ricky, but he isn't there.

"Ricky!" I shout walking around the park until I start panicking. "Ricky where are you" I say again walking far away from the swing area.

"Mark I can't find Ricky"

"Are you sure I thought he was in the doggie play area?"

"He was but now he isn't any more help me find him please"

He nods his head and we both run around the whole park at least three times but Ricky was nowhere in sight. "Aww angel don't cry I promise I'll find him for you" I nod my head as he leads me to the car. He takes me home, but I protest not wanting to be inside when my little Ricky is out probably lost not knowing his way back to me.

"Go inside I'll stay out and look it's too dark out here for you angel I'll call you later"

He pulls off and I go inside but Ethan and Liam still aren't here to comfort me when I needed it most. I decide to call them both to check on them and tell them the news about Ricky.

"Liam where are you"

"Uh... everyone shh... I'm sorry Abby but me and Ethan will be home later tonight Okay"

"Why does it sound like you're at a party"

"Abby, I got to go bye"

He hangs up and I just stare at the phone not comprehending what just happened why would Liam just hang up on me I'll just call Ethan.

"Ethan"

"Abby what is it"

"You too aren't home and Ricky-"

"Listen Abby me and Liam will be home later tonight don't wait up Okay"

Before I can protest, he hangs up in my face also. Why would they treat me as if I'm nobody and it sounded like they were at a party meaning they didn't think to bring me along with them. I cry over the fact that Ricky is nowhere to be found and that the twins are ignoring my calls for a damn party.

The doorbell rings and I jump to it. Mark stands there with Ricky in his arms, I smile through my tears and grab Ricky from his hold.

"I thought I lost you Ricky, thank you so much Mark"

"It's no problem he was walking around when I found him" I smile and embrace him into a big hug to say that I'm thankful for everything.

"Now no more tears Ricky's okay I don't want to see this pretty little face full of tears you understand" I smile and roll my eyes.

"I understand dad" he chuckles, and then awkward silence fills the room.

"So, my mom is having this dinner tomorrow and she wanted to invite you and your brothers"

"Well, I don't know if they are going to be busy or not, but I'll be honored to come especially since your mom is a really good cook"

"So, I'll see you around"

"Yeah...oh, and we should hang out more I really want to have moments like this again we'll besides Ricky running away and all next time I'll just leave him home" he smiles and nods his head.

"Goodnight angel"

"Goodnight Bear"

I close the door and go up to my room. Thinking about Liam and Ethan I start to get angry, but I'll be sure to make them pay for ignoring me three can play that game.
