the two weeks flew by and before they'd even knew it; the group were now helping nini pack up her room and belongings.
she knew that she couldn't take everything with her (knowing her mother too well) so ricky helped in deciding on making different sections of boxes: keep and leave.
right now, big red, ashlyn and ej were supposed to be on duty of taking them down to erica's car and carlos, seb, gina and kourtney were helping nini pack up her room.
"okay, what about this?" kourtney asked, holding up the cactus plant
nini felt a sad smile form on her face as she took ahold of it, shaking her head from remembering the first day she'd actually spent with ricky, getting to know him better...
"i'll keep this." she said quietly, nodding in confirmation as she exhaled and put it away neatly in the keep box
"oh my gosh this is my favorite album!" gina yelped, standing up from the shelf and holding up a vinyl, nini letting out a weak yet genuine chuckle
"...ricky made me buy that." she mumbled shyly "it's wonderful."
"we'll put this in your keep boxes." carlos nodded, taking the vinyl and putting it in the box as they all continued to pack away for the next fifteen minutes; nini's friends trying to get her to be a little more cheery and feel better to which she tried, but she just couldn't so stayed silent instead.
"so, ej won't stop trying to find things to eat so is it okay if he takes the boxes you're done with?"
nini was looking around her almost-emptied wall that she'd decorated the second day she'd arrived before turning her head at the sound of ashlyn's voice, seeing ej beside her holding a packet of cookies
"i'm a growing boy!" he exclaimed with his mouth full "i need my thtrengrh!"
"that's perfect then! take these." gina grinned, passing him a box full of nini's photos and frames as he groaned and just did as his girlfriend told him, taking the box and mumbling angrily with every step he took out of the room followed by his cousin
they all continued to pack, nini continuing to stay silent as they did. she was afraid that if she spoke she would just burst out into tears...and she didn't want that to be their last memory of her.
"alright, the walls are done, we can take these out." seb said softly, carlos and gina nodding in agreement as they stood up
"los-be careful." gina sighed in relief when the boy had almost tripped over the carpet
"i'm okay!" he exclaimed, seb and gina chuckling as they just followed him out of the room, leaving the brunette girl alone.
nini managed to shake her head with the smallest smile on her face, turning away again as she opened up the drawer of her desk
she saw a little list that ricky and her had continuously been making, seeing the little smiley faces drawn next to each number to show that it'd been completed.
taking it, she felt her sad smile grown and her eyes sting just slightly with tears, shakily taking a breath before hearing a knock at her door that made her whip her head around and sniffle, wiping a tear that she'd felt fall down her cheek
"s-sorry...i'll be down in a second." nini said to her aunt, who just smiled sympathetically.
"what's that?" erica asked with a curious expression, walking towards the girl
nini shook her head with a breathy chuckle and just folded the paper, putting it in the back pocket of her blue jeans "i-it doesn't matter."
erica sighed "you holding up okay?"
