Flashback - End of Junior Year
Fck, fck, fckity fck. Enrique Montoya was supposed to be at Airport with his brothers for their trip to Greece but GUESS who forgot their passport like a fcking idiot? Yes, that person was Enrique Montoya. With a laugh and pat on the back, his brothers simply sent him back and told him they’d see him in Greece. Well, Raph said that and Diego offered to go back with him but with a sigh, Ricky shook his head and told those two to go on ahead. That’s exactly why he was back - first to get a new ticket to Greece, and two, to make sure he packed his passport this time.
Unlocking the door, Ricky dropped his suitcase off at the front - casually walking to the kitchen to grab a water bottle. Was he meant to hear a conversation from his mother’s study? Probably not.
“I think we might need to sit him down soon and talk to him. He is turning 18 soon, Roberto, I don’t think we can keep it from him.”
His mother’s voice was clear as day, and while part of Ricky wanted to walk in - after all, he hadn’t seen his mother in a few weeks with her always being away in DC - something about the conversation he had overheard had stopped him.
“Lina… I don’t know about that. It would only tear him away from his brothers… you know how Enrique can get sometimes,”
“Enrique has a right to know he’s not our son biologically. One day he’ll need something like his birth certificate or god forbid a blood transfusion, and maybe it’s better to tell him now than wait until he’s 25 sweetie. I mean it was a fluke that we got him but…”
Enrique Montoya was stuck in place, and instantly his heart sank. Fluke? He wasn’t… even part of this family? For the first time in 17 years, Enrique Monto… that wasn’t even his last name… Enrique whatever the fck his real last name was… he felt… alone. Being a triplet he had never felt this before… this utter hurt was followed by a feeling of not knowing who to go to. Enrique wasn’t even listening to what his parents were saying anymore, all he knew was he grabbed his passport from the living room where he’d left it, grabbed his keys, and drove away… though not where he was supposed to go. For a while, he simply drove without a destination.
End of Flashback
Enrique disappeared that day at the end of Junior year. While his parents thought he was in Greece, Ricky ended up in Mexico alone. No words were exchanged to his brothers who were waiting for him and for 3 months, no one heard from him. That was something he kept to himself… until of course Blue Royalty decided to reveal it to the world and finally, his brothers knew exactly why he was avoiding them. That sh!tty wedding where he had to pretend to like VC ended just like he thought it would - with him storming off alone.
Once again, for the past few weeks, he had avoided his brothers again. Well now they knew - they could finally cut him off. It’s fine. Ricky went ahead and blocked them on everything just to make the process easier. Honestly, he didn’t care about the bullsht his roommate tried to say about the situation. Thank you Logan, but Ricky has it from here. So that’s what he’s been doing - sulking and ignoring… a great combination if you asked him.
Currently, however, Ricky found himself sitting in a hospital waiting room - laying on the chairs as he threw up a ball and caught it. Why was he here? Well 1. It was a great way to get out of his apartment and avoid Logan who had started giving him speeches - and avoid Diego and Raph who made the occasional appearance to talk to him. 2. Well, Annie was in the hospital and as much as he’d hate to admit it, he actually was starting to care about her. NO, no don’t do the aww sht. He just didn’t hate her presence, and he wasn’t a shtty dude so he decided to kill time here while waiting to hear if she was okay. Fine… Arlight maybe number 3 was that he was actually worried about her but the doctor basically said they all just had to wait and they’d find out hopefully in the next few days. It was simply a waiting game if she’d wake up. Paige was being… weird. Well, Ricky didn’t really know Paige well, but she was being weirder than usual. Maybe the car crash hit her head and made her more weird than usual? Oh well, at least she made for interesting company.
With a sigh, Ricky stood up to go get coffee from the little vending machine, though on his way there, he found a familiar girl walk up to him - and clearly she was okay since she skipped any Omg hey Ricky you went OUT OF YOUR WAY to come visit me at the hospital or other girly sht that people said when others were nice. Nope, this girl went straight for the calling him her cousin which… what the fck? He took a second before answering, letting his eyes drift down to her hospital gown. She clearly hadn’t decided to change before leaving her bed which was probably where she was supposed to be right now. “Hate to break it to you, Williams. but as much as you probably want to be related to me because I’m such an amazing guy and the best company - we’re not. Well, probably. Don’t exactly know who my birth parents are but I’m pretty sure they’re Mexican and you’re… well…” he started, bending forward and whispering “You kinda look black.” he mentioned. Not to say they couldn’t somehow be related but that was a… disgusting thought since he may have imagined less than family-friendly situations with her before in the past. What? Don’t blame him. He’s a man, she’s a fairly attractive girl. It happens.
He saw her eyes close… clearly something going on in her mind and he felt a soft frown meet his lips. Was she okay? Was it even his place to ask if she was? Or even recommend that she go back to the hospital bed she clearly should have been on? “Oh me? Just getting a cup of coffee - apparently, the hospital has the best cup in the area and I just thought, why the hell not drive 20 minutes out of the way to get som… no? Not buying that? Fine. May be hard to believe, Williams, but I came to see if you were doing okay because for some crazy reason, I may consider us somewhat friends. So are you… okay?”
