the summer (a Mikey Fusco Love Story)

Chapter 12

A/N: I love all the feedback:) Thanks for reading once again and I hope you like it :) xoxo

"Xbox?" Vinny Suggested because frankly after that conversation things got even more awkward. We had just been sitting on the porch for 10 minutes in absolute silence, expect for the fact that Vinny was finishing off that bottle of Nutella.

"Call Of Duty?" I pitched in, wondering if I could kick their butts. I needed to get my Mikey anger out somehow, and whats better than guns and violence to do that.

I looked back over at Vinny and Gabi, waiting for their responses, just to see them making out. I really need a boyfriend, or at least someone that doesn't kiss and run, I mean my first REAL kiss wasn't even anything to be proud of, we had both run from each other because we were embarassed. Why can't I just have a normal relationship with a guy like Gabi and Vinny.

"Eww...." I sarcastically screamed in the highest pitch I could manage before running inside to be first player.

"You are just jealous." Gabi laughed as I made my way through the kitchen. I was jealous, jealous that I didn't have a guy like Vinny.

"Prepare to Die." Vinny sat down grabbing a controller and turning on the Xbox.

"Please." I rolled my eyes, thinking of Mikey as I picked up the controller.

~~~~~~

"You know for girls you too are pretty good." Vinny admitted being a sore loser after we both kicked his butt. "Honestly what could be better than this moment?" Vinny said throwing his arms over mine and Gabi's shoulders. "The two most important people in my life have finally met, my bestfriend, and my girlfriend. I couldn't be happier."

"How sweet Vinny." I smiled hearing my phone go off clear across the room. I thought of who it could be, my mom, ashton maybe.

We all turned and looked at my phone. I tried to wiggle out of Vinny's grip, but he wouldn't let me, instead he walked over to the table and picked it up himself, holding me back.

"It's an unknown number." Vinny said scrolling through my phone.

"It's Katie." I said calming trying to pull my phone away from him.

"That girl is a bitch." Gabi laughed making me giggle. She was right, Katie was a guy stealing bitch.

"Come outside." Vinny said holding the phone in the air, out of my reach.

"Why can't she just leave me alone?" I said giving up all effort to get my phone.

"I'll handle this." Vinny said walking towards the front door.

"What the hell do you want from me?" I asked Katie, who was standing on the sidewalk in front of Vinny's house, she had her hands on her hips, and was chewing her bubblegum like it wouldn't fit in her mouth.Basically she looked like she belonged in Mean Girls, her shorts were barely existant, and her tank top showed way too much of her chest, I would say boobs, but unfortunately she didn't have any.

"I want you to leave my boyfriend the hell alone." She laughed popping a bubble with her pink gum. I was waiting until it popped all over her face.

"Woah, Woah, your boyfriend?" I asked getting a bit angry, sadness filling my body. Why would Mikey do this to me? Do he like to make me suffer. I reached up to my neck and ran my fingers across the necklace that Tyler had given me, trying to get the streghth that I needed.

"Let me handle this" Vinny whispered putting a hand out in front of me. "Why don't you do me a favor, go tell your so called 'boyfriend' that I want to speak to him." Vinny talked to her like a baby. Snapping his fingers to mock her after he was finished.

"Listen.." Katie said snapping her fingers.

"No, You listen Missy." Vinny started "Go get him."

She grunted and headed off down the street dragging her feet with every step."

"Thank you." I hugged Vinny again.

"That was hot." Gabi admitted to Vinny making me laugh, because his performance was pretty funny.

"You guys are so adorable." I laughed sitting down on the porch, hoping MIkey wouldn't be here anytime soon.

"Why does he treat me like this?" I said letting a tear stream down my face. "Why can't he just say that he likes me?" I noticed him on his bike down the road, he didn't have Katie, which was a good thing.

"What is your problem?" I burst out walking down the steps to meet him."Why are you doing this to me?" the questions kept flowing out. " Why are you dating Katie?"

His face showed confusion. "Dating Katie? I would never." He paused "Well, I wouldn't again." If he was trying to make a joke, it wasn't funny.

"Well what ever she is to you, tell her to cut it out." I said as Vinny and Gabi walked inside.

"She's been all over me lately." Mikey screamed "It's not my fault." I raised my eyebrows.

"Mikey, you see, that's the thing, I never know if your lying or not, and that just kills me." I said taking a seat on Vinny's porch." But that's not what this is about, it's about Katie. Why is she threatening me?"

"I don't Know." Mikey replied with attitude. I ran my hands down my face, this conversation was going nowhere.

"Mikey why is it that all we do is fight?" I asked taking the tone of my voice down. "Why can't we both just admit that we are being childish."

Mikey shook his head. Man did I really hate him right now, but I couldn't get over the fact that He looked so hot today.

Despite the fact that I was in an arguement I couldn't help but remember the old Mikey. The Mikey that thought I was Lauren. The Mikey that got me another audition. The Mikey from the fair. The Mikey that I first met.

"Mikey," I took a deep breath. "I miss the old you."
