Story: The Secret Double Proposal of the American Teenager

Chapter 1: Say Yes Before You Leave

Ben showed a up at Amy's door that bright early Sunday morning. It had been six years since baby John was born. Amy and Ben were 21, Ricky was 22, and John was barely 6 years old.

The doorbell sounded and Amy rushed to the door, while putting on the genuine topaz earrings Ben bought her for her 21st birthday. Ben wouldn't let Amy forget that he was rich. He kept buying her things that she didn't need. It was probably to show Amy that he has more money than Ricky. Therefore, they would have a better life with him. He was always too jealous of Ricky. Although it was hard to admit it, Amy had discovered she did have feelings for Ricky too, and today, while Ben takes her out to breakfast, she'll tell him and hope he'll understand if she has too choose between them.

"I love you, Amy." Ben said the moment she opened the door. Ben held out a dozen roses and smiled at Amy.

"Uh… yeah thanks." Amy looked at the dozen roses Ben already sent in the mail the night before. She took the roses and told Ben to come over to the couch with her.

"Are you ready for breakfast?" Ben shook his head, "Actually, I didn't come by to take you to breakfast." Amy looked confused and Ben tucked her hair behind her ear, just as Ricky had on the first day of school six years ago.

"Amy, do you remember the day I proposed to you in the park?" She nodded and Ben continued, "Our parents thought we were too young to get married, but we got fake Ids and eloped anyway. Well, we're 21 and we're old enough. Do you want to get married, Amy?" Ben finished his proposal, got down on his knees, and pulled out a black silk box with a 15 karat diamond ring in it.

AMY'S POV

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, Did he just propose? Of course he proposed, you idiot!! Do I say yes? I don't know. I already admitted I had feelings for Ricky. I was supposed to tell Ben today. Now that he proposed, I don't know what to do.

"Ben, I don't know. I may have to think about this. It's a huge decision for me."

"How is it a huge decision? I thought you wanted to get married." Ben whined.

"Ben, this is a lifetime commitment. It IS a huge decision. And if you can't understand that, goodbye. Because I can't just say yes without taking some time to think about it, Ben." Ben was shocked by my ultimatum. I could just tell he was. I have to admit, I was too. I was shocked that, for once in my life, I stood up for myself.

"Okay, Amy. Take all the time you need." Ben grabbed the roses sitting on the counter in the kitchen and walked back to his driver. I can't believe he's 21 and still has a driver.

"Very mature, taking away the roses he bought me because I won't say yes immediately after he proposed. " I mumbled to myself. I love him, but he seriously needs an attitude adjustment if I am going to marry him. I wasn't even sure of it yet. The only guy in my life I was absolutely sure of was John. John is my son and he'll love me no matter what. That reminds me, I need to pick up John from Ashley soon.

"Problems in boyfriend land?" Ricky just walked in. I wonder if he heard all that.

"Did you hear any of that, Ricky?" I asked him curiously. He shook his head.

"No, but you have that look on your face that says you're having problems with Ben. I've known you for six years, Amy Juergens. You have been in countless fights with Ben. I know that look." Ricky knew me too well. I didn't know if Ben knew my favorite color or even my middle name.

"I came by to tell you that I've been saving up some money and I have enough to take me, you and John to Disneyland!" Ricky said excitedly.

"Are you serious!!!! Disneyland! That'll be great for John. I never got to go to Disneyland when I was younger." I can't believe that Ricky would do this for us! They say that 6 is the best age to go to a place like Disneyland. He'll enjoy it so much. And I've never been there! It'll be fun for me, John and… Ricky. We'll be a family.

"When do we leave?" I immediately asked. "Actually, I know it's short notice, but we leave tomorrow. It's only a two hour drive. Pack enough clothes for a week."

Ricky left the house and I packed enough clothes to last me an entire week. I called and left Ben a voicemail that sounded like this:

"Hi, Ben. I'm leaving town for a week. So don't call me. Trust me, this has nothing to do with the proposal. I'm leaving with John and we're going on vacation. Bye."

It's been two whole hours since I left Ben the voicemail. I was lying down on my bed when I got a text. It was from Ben.

At least say yes before you leave. - Ben

Ugh! I am so angry with Ben. He texts me trying to make me say yes. I'm not going to say yes yet. If he keep acting like this, I won't say yes at all. I pulled out my phone and texted him back.

I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Disneyland with John… and Ricky. I don't have to answer you, and if I do, it'll probably be a no. Quit acting like this or it will be a no. - Amy

I had a feeling that this text would drive him crazy. I didn't know if it was the fact that I mentioned Ricky or the fact that I'd almost said no, but either way, Ben wasn't going to stop me from going to Disneyland tomorrow or force me to say yes.

So, I hope you liked this chapter. I have a feeling this is going to be a great fanfic. Big thanks to XxMandaaaaxX and soren919. Their amazing stories inspired me to start writing secret life fanfics. Next chapter: Disneyland
