Mike walked into my apartment, placing the last box down with the others and stood next to Jaime.

"Our little Tony is growing up." Vic pretended to cry and wiped a fake year from his cheek. I smiled when
Tony came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Ya know, I think I'm more proud to Antonia for even wanting to put up with him every day. Are you
sure you wanna do this?" Jaime laughed.

"Of course I'm sure!" I giggled as Tony nuzzled his face into my neck.

"Alright well we're gone let you guys be alone." Vic smiled and pushed the other two out the front door.

"Have a nice night you two! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Mike shouted over his shoulder before he door slammed shut.

"So?" Tony smiled after I turned around in his arms.

"So what Mr. Perry?"

"So we live together now."

"Hmm. Yeah, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this already." I said nonchalantly and walked to the kitchen.

"Well that was mean!" Tony huffed and crossed his tattooed arms over his chest.

"Oh shut up I was kidding!" I laughed and hopped up to sit on the counter.

"And you throw disposable kitchen ware at me! This is not how girlfriends should treat their famous rockstar boyfriends!"

"Ew don't pull the rockstar card on me!" I laughed.

"Ni, I can do whatever I want." He smirked and walked towards me.

"Cesar Antonio Soto Perry don't you dare... " I scooted as far back onto the counter as I could before my back hit a cabinet. "Tony stop!" I screamed while he wrapped his arms around my torso and threw me over his shoulder. "Baby please you're gonna drop me." I begged and clung onto the facbric of his black key street shirt. My body flew back as he threw me and I let out a scream. Tony's hands went to my sides and his fingers danced over my skin, making me laugh loudly. There were three sharp knocks on the door and Tony jumped up to go answer it. I could see his jaw harden from my spot on the couch and his eyes narrowed at whoever was on the other side of the door. "Tone who is it?" I shouted.

He pushed the door aside so I could see a familiar blonde standing in the doorway.

"What do you want?" I said to her from the couch.

"I-I wanted to congratulate you guys." She smiled weakly and moved a strand of hair from her eyes. "And I wanted to talk to you Antonia."

"Wow, it's a shame I don't wanna talk to you." I scoffed and laid back down onto the couch.

"I know Antonia and I am so sorry" She started to walk into the apartment but Tony put his arm in the way.

"MOVE Tony." She rolled her eyes and pushed past him, walking to the other couch and sitting down. She stared at me with wide eyes, asking if I could get Tony to leave. I could read her like a book even after all the months we spent apart.

"Tone, could you give us a minute?" I looked over to him with pleading eyes. I just wanted to get this over with and spend time alone with him.

"Yeah. I'm gonna go make sure I got all my things from Jaime's place." He said before he slammed the door behind him. There was a silence for a few minutes before I spoke.

"So what exactly did you want to talk about Stephanie?" I sat up on the couch while I spoke.

"I wanted to say." She stopped and slammed her palms onto her thighs. "I wanted to say I'm sorry. I knew about you and Tony having a past and I just wanted him sot myself. When I found out that you two were back together again I just got so mad. I wasn't good enough for him and-"

"Stephanie shut up!" I shouted, making her jump slightly. "Tony and I had a past, so-fucking-what. Mike and I have a past too. Jaime and I had a little thing once upon a time. Neither of them has tried anything with me because they thought they weren't good enough and it made them angry. There is NO excuse for the shit you pulled. Tony can't handle shit like that. He shuts down. I didn't even know you knew we were together again but you did and you went and did that anyway? That's so fucked up Steph."

"I know! I know I fucked up and I am so sorry for it Nia but I miss you so much. I get really close to people then I throw them aside and expect them to be there all the time when I want them back and when I wanted you back and I realized I couldn't have you I broke down. You're my best friend Antonia and after everything I've done to you I want so badly for you to forgive me. What makes me so angry is that I know you won't forgive me because you KNOW I don't deserve it and I am so proud of you for not ever taking shit from me." She started wiping tears from the corners of her blue eyes as her voice cracked. "I just wanted you to know how sorry I am whether you hate me or not."

I stared at the woman on my couch with wide eyes. I really couldn't believe what I had just heard her say. She knew she was wrong and she didn't care whether I forgave her or not, just as long as I knew she was sorry for what she had done. I toyed with the idea of speaking to her again in my head, not seeming to happy about it. It wasn't a very appealing idea, she could be very annoying, bitchy, stuck up, pretty much every unattractive trait a person could have. But I knew she wasn't a liar. She never tried to hide the things she did wrong and she was blatantly honest about everything. She'd been my best friend after I ran from Jaime, Tony, Vic, and Mike. She was my rock whenever I needed her. I pushed my palms into the cushion of the couch and stood up, walking to the couch she was sitting on. I sat down and wrapped my arms around her, both of us crying quietly. I loved her no matter what, she was my best friend.

"I love you Stephanie. You're one of my best friends, but if you ever even look at Tony in a way that I find inappropriate, I will rock you just like I did when you showed up at warped. Deal?" I pulled away and smiled at her.

"Deal." She stuck her pinky out and I wrapped my own around it.

"I forgave Stephanie." I said quietly to Tony while he washed a dish that was in the sink.

"That's nice." He mumbled and dried the plate before placing it back in the cabinet.

"Tone-"

"Don't Tone me, you can be friends with her but I'm not going to. What she did to me Ni-" He stopped and took a deep breath. "What she did to me is almost what I did to you. I see how much that hurt you. Why can't you see how much she hurt me?" He walked past me and towards our bedroom.

"I forgave you!" I yelled after him while I followed.

"It's different! It's completely different! You had three years to think over what I did to you! I haven't even gotten one!" He yelled at me. I flinched back.

"So what Tony! She tossed you to the side! It's not like you were having a child together or something!" I shouted back. He went silent.

"You can't keep doing this to me..." He whispered, the anger was still apparent in his voice. It was my turn to go silent now. "I know I messed up really badly with that. I regret it every single day that I wake up and there isn't a little kid tugging on my arm calling me daddy. I want that so bad with you Ni."

"Do you really mean that?" I mumbled and played with my thumbs in front of me.

"Well, yeah Ni. I can't picture myself having kids with anyone else. I want little Ginger Mexican babies running around." He moved closer to me and picked my chin up so I was looking at him. I wrapped my arms around his torso and pressed my cheek to his chest. His arms went over my shoulders and he held me closer to his body.

"Baby making starts tomorrow." I giggled.

"Awwww Ni, why not tonight." He whined and threw himself onto the bed.

"Because tonight I'm tired. We just moved all your shit into this apartment!" I laughed as he tried to pose seductively on the bed.

"Look at me and tell me you don't wanna make a baby with this." He wiggled his eyebrows as he spoke.

"I don't wanna make a baby with...that..." I laughed motioning to him.

"Well at least cuddle with me." Tony stuck his bottom lip out and made his eyes go big.

"Ugh fine. Even though you smell really bad." I rolled my eyes and climbed under the blankets with him.

"You love my stink." He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer to him.

"Yeah yeah." I laughed lightly and traced the tattoos on his chest until I fell asleep.
