(Nick's POV)

I watched as she walked to Chris's mom's car. She had a look of pain written over her face. I couldn't help but feel my heart break, I really screwed up. "Michaela?" I said, interupting her conversation with Zan. "What?" She asked. "I don't like you anymore... I love Gab..." I said, looking down. Michaela's laugh filled my ears, and I balled my fists up. "It's kind of too late for that isn't it? You kissed me, and now Gabrielle doesn't want you anymore. And now Vinny gets her. Karma works in funny ways, doesn't it?" My anger bolied higher at the realization that Vinny set this all up. Michaela never wanted to kiss me, she only did it to get Gab away from me! I felt the tears stinging my eyes, but I blinked them away. No way was I giving any of these people the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I walked back inside the building, and slid down against the wall, tears coming down my face rapidly. I may have screwed up, but I will get Gab back, even if it's the last thing I do...

(Vinny's POV)

"Michaela, you did amazing!" I picked her up and spun her around. "I'll never be able to thank you enough." She smiled, and flung her hair over her shoulder. "I did do amazing, didn't I?" "Vin?" Zan spoke up, she was being so quiet I forgot she was there. "Yeah?" I smiled, and ruffled Michaela's hair. "Doesn't this feel... wrong to you?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. I looked at her, confused, and laughed. "No, why would it?" "Vin... You just broke up two happy people... For your own selfish reasons... And you don't feel guilty at all? They were good together... And they seemed really in love... And you ruined that for them." Zan said. I bit my lip, and then remembered. "But hey! Nick kissed back, meaning, he still had feelings for Michaela! I saved Gab in a way!" "Okay, so what, he kissed her, she's gorgeous! Any creature with a penis would want to be with her! Even if they are broken up, who says Gab will want to be with you?" She asked. I sighed, and rubbed my temples. "Zan, she may not want to be with me at first, but I promise, I'll convince her to be with me..." Zan sighed, and shook her head. I looked down, and sighed. Maybe Zan is right...
