Nini's POV 

(AN: Abusive realtionship talk.)

Later that morning we were all sitting down eating breakfast and there was a knock at the door. Momma C opens the door and it reveals a really tired Howie on the other side.

"Hi! Can we help you?" Momma D asked, 

"no we can not help him." I said, 

"Nina." Momma C raised her voice,

"this is the thing that happened last night." I said to them, 

"a person is not a thing especially Gina's boyfriend." Momma C said, 

"Gina's boyfriend should not of hit his girlfriend especially Gina." I said and that all shocked them. There were about to kick him out but Gina stepped in. 

"What are you doing here Howie?" Gina asked,

"I need to talk to you Gina." Howie said,

"You have five minutes outside int the yard and Nini and her moms are on the deck." Gina said and he agrees. 

Gina's POV 

When Howie goes out in the yard and me and Nini goes to the deck. Before I go out in the yard Nini grabs my hand. 

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Nini asked me,

"yes but please stay right here and step in when you think you need to." I said, 

"of course," she said and I go to the yard. 

"Ok what do you need to talk about?" I asked him, 

"last I was jealous ok and I lost it. I am really sorry Gina and I want you in my life and I love you!'" He said, 

"why were you jealous? Was it EJ or what was it?" I asked him, 

"yes it was EJ but it was also Ricky, Big Red, Carlos, and Seb. Ok I was jealous ," he said and I was so confused. 

"Ok let me break it down for you Big Red is dating my roommate, Ricky is dating one of my best friends, Seb and Carlos are together, and EJ is my boy best friend." I tell him, 

"Do you not know what happened between Ricky and Nini? There were best friends and now they love each other." He says and I get what he is saying but he has nothing to be jealous of especially not anymore. 

"You have nothing to be jealous not anymore." I tell him,

"what do you mean?" He asked me,

"I am telling you that we are over." I say and I started to turn around but then he grabs my wrist.

Nini's POV (five minutes before)

"Why did you not tell us honey about what happened?" Momma C asked me, 

"I don't know she was scared and she wasn't thinking straight." I tell them,

"I get it but what happened?" Momma D asked me, 

"Yesterday morning Howie and her were arguing about how her and EJ were not just best friend but they were. And last night Gina came to Ricky's house and she had a black eye. Then I asked her if Howie did it and she said yes. I just bought her here because Ashyn was going to be out late." I tell them, 

"poor Gina!" Momma D said, 

"yeah and her mom is not even here." Momma C said, 

"I just feel bad for her." I tell them and when I said that Howie grabs her wrist and turn her around. 

"I think I need to stop this," i said, 

"agreed" they both said. 

When I get there I hear this, 

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" Howie yells and he is about to hit him.

"Woah, hold up. This is not her fault." I said, 

"I think you need to leave." Momma C said, 

"fine. This is not over." Howie says, 

"what in the world happened here?" A guy asked and both of us turn around and it was EJ. 

"EJ what are you doing here?" Gina asked, 

"Gina I think you need to tell him." I say to Gina, 

"tell me what Nini? Gina?" EJ asked kind of mad, 

"It's not my place to tell. Gina you need to tell him. He is your best friend he will be on your side." I tell Gina, 

"Gina what is going on?" EJ asked getting really annoyed, 

"Howie was abusive since the third date." Gina said and that surprised me., 

"THE THIRD DATE." We both yelled at the same time,

"Gina that was a month and a half ago." I say, 

"I know I was just scared." Gina said and I hugged her.

"I'm gonna go and get ready because we have to meet up with everyone in a hour." I say and left and what happens out there stays out there. I go upstairs and get ready for the day. 20 minutes later Gina comes up and I give her some clothes and a toothbrush to get ready. After a half a hour we were both and we were on our way to Red's basement. When we get there we just talked for a little bit. It was around 1:30 and this question was asked. 

"Can we go to Red's pizza shop?" Seb asked and most people shook their heads agreeing, 

"Is Howie working?" Ricky asked them, 

"yeah he is." Red said, 

"then we can't go" I said.

"Why can't we?" Seb asked and I looked at Gina, Ricky and EJ. 

"Howie has been abusive since the third date," Gina said.
