Emmett's POV

A couple days later

-

"-Jesus Christ, Lily! All I said was that Riley's mom was on tour too! I never said anything about her and I having sex! We've barely talked for Christ's sake!" I heard Ricky yell into his phone. It was silent for a minute.

"-You know what?! Fuck you too! I thought you'd trust me by now, Lily! But apparently not! It's nice to know that my fucking girlfriend doesn't trust me and hasn't trusted me whatsoever in the two years that we've been together!" He yelled again. Oh shit. I guess everybody is getting into fights with their significant other.

Gared still hasn't apologized and just pretends I'm not around, but he gives Riley all the attention in the world.

"Whatever! We're done! I want your shit out of my house by the time I get home from tour! You got that?!" He shouted before hanging up. Damn. He still does not take any shit.

"You heard that didn't you?" He asked.

"A little bit" I told him.

"Well, you don't have to worry about Lily trying to be Riley's mom because now she's out of the picture. You happy now?" He snapped. Ouch. That hurt.

"S-sorry?" I said.

"Whatever, go talk to your fucking boyfriend" he said. What the fuck did I do?

"I can't" I told him.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because he refuses to talk to me. We got into an argument a couple days ago, and he's being a big baby" I said.

"Sedu- No. Slap the shit out of him, that'd oughta knock some sense into his ass" he said. I knew he was going to say 'seduce him' but he stopped. I still think he's jealous... Or he doesn't want to listen to Gared and I having sex.

"Will do" I said. This is the first time in four years that Ricky and I have talked casually.
I walked to the couch that Gared normally hangs out on.

I sat down in his lap and nuzzled my face into the crook of his neck. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me. Which shocked me.

"I'm sorry, baby" he said, holding me tight.

"For what?" I asked. I knew exactly what, I just wanted to hear him say it.

"For being an ass to you about something that happened when you were a teenager. I know you grew up, but I guess... I was too stubborn to realize that, I know I'm a big baby. Please forgive me?" He said, his pretty grey eyes looking up at me.

"Of course" I grinned. I know I shouldn't have gave in that easily, but I just wanted my boyfriend back.

He pecked me on the lips and held me close to him. I smiled.

-Ricky's Pov-

She wasn't supposed to accept his apology. She was supposed to give him a hard time which would have probably led to them breaking up. She was supposed to slap him, not sit in his lap and snuggle with him.

This was supposed to be my ace in the hole. She would've been so close to being mine.

As bad as this sounds, I was waiting for Lily and I to get into a bad fight, so that I could break up with her.

I loved Lily, but not as much as love Emmett.

Emmett is so perfect. I should've let her kill me when she kidnapped me. Then I wouldn't have to go through this heartache. Emmett is guilty of stealing my heart and not letting me steal hers.

I'll be honest, leaving her was the biggest mistake of my life.

As soon as I got home after I left her, I cried. I realized that I messed up, but I couldn't go back to her after I said what I said to her.

I forgot that I even loved her until I found out that she was with Gared. I guess I've been using whores and Lily to cover up the fact that I'm in love with my daughter's mother.

After Emmett and I parted ways, I had to go on tour, I started sleeping with the sluts at our shows- they were legal, of course. I used those sluts to get my mind off of Emmett, then I met Lily, she was one of those sluts at our shows, but she was different, she didn't have to dress slutty or cake make-up on to get my attention. We talked outside of the venue and she started... Touching me in... Places and we fucked.

"-I love you, Emmett" I heard that fuckboy named Gared say. Ouch. Please don't say it back Emmett.

"I love you too, Gared" she said. Oh, that sound? Yeah, that's just my heart breaking. She's supposed to say that she loves me, not Gared!

Gared is just going to leave her. I want her to love me. But I'm not going to make her cheat again. When I made her cheat on Vinny, I felt bad afterwards, that's why I didn't talk to her. I betrayed my friend, I couldn't face anybody.

Maybe one day, Emmett and I will finally be together.
