You could say that again. If there’s one thing Ricky doesn’t know how to handle, it’s sudden change. He doesn’t know how to get used to it all, has no idea how to even process all the changes that are being nonstop thrown at him lately. His breakup with Nini, his parents, everything else. He knows it was probably stupid to think that everything would go back to normal when Nini came back, and that parents will fall out of love sometimes-- he just never considered how it would FEEL.
He’s surprised that he’s even talking about this, considering he can BARELY even bring himself to open up to the people closest to him. But as much as he tries his best to mask it, he really can’t hide the bad days very well-- people start to notice them. “Yeah...I guess not...” Chewing the inside of his cheek, he hates how AWKWARD this feels, just barely stops himself from giving into the urge to brush it all off. “I’m fine, though, really, it’s just...a little stressful, that’s it. I mean, I knew it was coming, I just never thought about...” He pauses, before shaking his head. “Forget it.”
