Nini had blearily left her room since Ricky left her tree house that day. The song for the theater's instagram page definitely helped get her mind off things, but now that it's done she's back to moping around her room.

Nini's moms were concerned. This was worse then they had ever seen her because she wasn't showing any emotion. At least during her first break up with Ricky she cried a lot and seemed sad. Now she just walks around like a ghost. It's like she's trying to convince everyone that she isn't hurt but her fake smiles weren't very convincing.

"Dana look what Lynn posted on facebook" Carol said sitting on the couch.

Dana walked into the room and sat next to her wife.

"Look at this" Carol said pressing play on the video on her phone.

Close the book before it turns to tragedy
Tear the treehouse down, give up the fantasy
Nothin' to regret since the day we met
Glad we took a chance makin' our own world
Perfectly imperfect like it had to be

Nini had been in her room all day. She woke up around 9 and hasn't left her room for 7 hours, and she's starting to get a little hungry.

She finally leaves her room and makes her way down the stairs towards the kitchen when she hears something interesting.

It sounded like Ricky singing but he was in chicago. What would he be doing at her house and what could he be singing.

Who thought that one first kiss
Would turn into two heartbreaks?
'Cause since we were young I swore
I'd never walk away

"Oh" Nini thinks as she looks around the corner to see her moms on the couch both tearing up looking at one of their phones.

It was Ricky singing, and he was singing about them.

I love you so much that I've got to let you go
It couldn't last forever
And I hope you find better
I can't forget us, can't pretend we ain't broken
It was good together
Now I've got to let you go

I'll always be in love with who we used to be
I'll save the photographs and keep the memories
The ribbon in your hair, the secrets that we shared
The way that you would stare at me across the room
We laughed until we cried, it feels like yesterday

Who thought that one first kiss
Would turn into two heartbreaks?
'Cause since we were young I swore
I'd never walk away

I love you so much that I've got to let you go
It couldn't last forever
And I hope you find better
I can't forget us, can't pretend we ain't broken
It was good together
Now I've got to let you go

I'm pickin up prices left and right
Now that our hearts are both untied
It'll take time, it'll take time
No one can say we didn't try
I'll think of these days all my life
It'll take time, it'll take time

I love you so much that I've got to let you go
It couldn't last forever
And I hope you find better
I can't forget us, can't pretend we ain't broken
It was good together
Now I've got to let you go

When the song was done Nini wasn't hungry anymore. She quickly ran back up the stairs and locked herself in her bedroom.

She logs into the facebook account that she made when she was 12 and pretty much hasn't touched since, and looks up Lynn's account. She clicks on her newest post and just let the song plays over and over again while she stares at her ceiling and lets herself cry for the first time since that night in the treehouse.

She lays there for hours just listening to Ricky's song and crying.

It was midnight when her phone dies and she's forced to stop listening. She quickly plugs her phone into her charger and goes back to starring at her ceiling.

While she was laying there she could stop thinking about Ricky's lyrics.

Before she could change her mind she grabs her phone and calls Ricky.

"It's Ricky, you know what to do" his voicemail plays.

"Don't let me go. Please don't let me go"
