All I want "on hold for now"

Chapter 40: Hurricane in Salt Lake

Nini pov

I woke the next morning to the sound of voices coming from down stairs, I throw the covers off of me as I made my way out of my room to see what was going on. "Moms" I asked as I stood on the last step on the stairs, "morning honey did we woke you" my mom carol said as I looked around the living room, "what's going on" I asked as I robbed the sleep out of my eyes, "we have guest" my other mom Dana said as two more body walked out of the kitchen, I left at gasp as I see it was Ricky and his dad. "Hey Nini" Ricky's dad said as he saw me and that's what made Ricky turned his head.

We both made eye contact before I quickly looked away, "Nini it's family day remember" my mom Carol asked me, and there it was how could I forget family day? Basically my family and Ricky's family come together for a day to hangout, have dinner, and watch a movie. "How could I forget" I said in a sarcastic way, I walked back up stairs to shower, brush hair and teeth then to get changed. Once I was done I walked back downstairs to see both of my moms sitting on the couch with the Ricky and Ricky's dad sitting on the other. "Hey sweetie would you like to join us" my mom Dana asked as she patted a seat next to her, "maybe later" I tell her before walking out the back door, and onto the patio.

The sky was grey it looked like it was gonna rain, but the air felt nice, plus it was better being out here then in there. I took a seat on the couch before being my knees to my chest, I thought of the days where I would sit here and watch Ricky learn how to play sports. He tried to play baseball but was to afraid of getting hit by the ball, he tried to play football, but don't know how to caught the ball and he tried to play soccer but when he went to kick the ball he would always miss. It was quite funny to watch then I also remembered when we had a pool out here and he would always come over to swim with me. "Where has the time gone?" I asked myself

"Hey" I hear someone say, I looked up only to see Ricky stand there with both hands in his pockets. "Hey" I said back, I didn't feel this horrible pain when I see him or hear his voice but I do feel some type of pain. "Can I seat with you" he asked me, the sky wasn't lifting up and the air suddenly changed again. "Sure" I said as Ricky took a seat on the other end of the couch. We sat there in silence it wasn't a bad silence more of a good one, I felt at peace and maybe just maybe I was ready to hear Ricky out.

"I'm sorry" we both said at the exact same time, I left out a giggle and he out a chuckle, "you go first" Ricky said before I could, I looked at him putting the small pieces together. "I......" I begin but the sound of thunder was heard, and my mom carol yelled at us to get back inside. "Theres a hurricane coming, they said it on the news" Ricky's dad said as me and Ricky walked back into the living room, "we will have to stay to wait the storm out" Ricky's dad as my
moms agreed on it, being that it's unsafe to leave. The rest of the night went along, we were in the middle of a movie when all the lights went out and a loud thunder clapped.

I heard a scream from beside me, "Nini it's okay" my mom Dana said, Everything was pitched dark nothing to be seen. "That wasn't me" I said as I left out a shiver, "that was me" Ricky said I felt him sit closer to me, and I remembered he was always afraid of the dark he needed just a little light in the room to help him sleep. "We have some candles downstairs in the basement Ricky and nini can go get them" my mom carol suggested, I looked at her shocked. I hated going down there, it always gave me the creeps. Me and Ricky made our way to the stairs that lead to the basement"it's okay I'm here" he whispered from behind me.

We both stood in the dark basement with one small flash light in hand, "candles where are the candles" I asked myself as I searched the shelf, I was starting to get scared the small sounds can be heard from around us. "There they are" Ricky said as we walked over to them, but one of the windows busted opened. Glass was shattered to the floor and harsh winds were blowing in, "oh shoot" I whispered as I was l about to walk over to the busted window when my foot got caught in a broken floor board. "Ah Ricky my foot is stuck" I said in panic, Ricky runs over to me "stay still I'll get you out" he said as he wrapped his arm around me bring pulling me carefully out of the floor board.

"Your foot is bleeding let's get the candles and get you out" he tells me as Ricky held onto me to keep me from falling. Right as we walked to the shelf where the candles were, another thunder clapped and the wind was blowing harder. I let out a scream, as the sound of thunder clapped again, and before I knew it the shelf was coming down on us. "RICKY WATCH OUT" I yelled as he had me in his arms while he looked up, the shelf fell on us and the last thing I remembered was the pain in my body and seeing Ricky laying unconscious beside me.
