*Rebecca's POV*The next day*

I wake up and rolled over on my side to see the clock. 10 am. I groan to myself and mentally curse myself out for crying most of the yesterday, the day that they left.

I actually hung out with Abby most of the day yesterday and she was perfectly fine. She didn't cry but I did. Maybe she's just used to them leaving, that it doesn't affect her so much? I know that I will never get used to that, it's really hard. But at least I still have the girls with me and Vinny and Nick.

I honestly have no enthusiasm to get up, I know that sounds really dumb and clingy but when you're dating someone as great as Mikey, you tend to feel like that when someone like him isn't around you.

I have three more weeks in New Jersey, until I leave back to New York for high school. So, it's August 2nd 2013, ten-thirty in the morning and I'm still in the same outfit that was in yesterday.

I arranged to hang out with Nick, Vinny, and Abby so I won't feel bad for myself and sulk all day. I drag myself out of my bed and put on any clothes in sight; shorts and blue Hollister, v-neck t-shirt and flip flops. I have no one to dress to impress for.

I brush my teeth, pull my hair into a ponytail and grab my phone. I open my door and walk downstairs. My cousin Nora is there sitting on the island, having coffee. "Hey kiddo. How ya feeling?"She asked me. I shrugged my shoulders and walked besides her and sit down.

"I know how you feel. But he'll be back and he loves you." She says and I nod. The next twenty minutes are complete silence between her and I. I slowly pick up my spoon and savor the cereal with every bite I take as I eat.

"Becks?" Nora breaks the silence. "Yeah?" I answer back. "Are you sure you're just sulking because he left?" She said and I face her. "What do you mean?" I ask and she looks at me in the eyes. "Are you afraid that he will cheat?" She asks me and I stay frozen.

I never asked myself that question, I actually never considered it. I always knew how much it will hurt but never him cheating on me. He said he loves me and I know him, he wouldn't. "I actually never taught of it." I confess and she makes her way to me. "Now that I said it, do you think he will?" She asks with concern on her face.

"No! He wouldn't." I said and turn my back to her. "But he's a teenaged boy-" "But nothing, he wouldn't do that to me. You don't know him as much as I do!" I yell at her.

"He's like every single boy out there Rebecca!" She yells. I shake my head and at this point I'm on my feet and my face is hot by the change of my emotions. "No! Stop! What the fuck are you trying to imply?" I yell at her and her eyes open wide by the use of my words. "Excuse, watch you're mouth. You can talk to you're friends that way but not me. I'm you're cousin."

"And you are also the person that's saying that he's going to cheat on me!" I yell. I heard feet moving around in the distance and it's getting louder and louder by the second. In other words, someone's coming.

"I just trying to protect you dumb ass! I don't want to see you hurt!" She yells at me with anger that is clear in her voice. "I don't need protecting! I can do that myself!" I say. "You can't protect yourself, remember what happened with Zack?" She says and my emotions change from sadness and confusion to anger and disbelief.

Zack was my ex-boyfriend. We dated about 4 months, on again off again type of relationship. I gave a lot of myself to make our relationship last, but he gave half of what I was giving. He cheated on me with my best friend, Ashley. That day I asked him if he wanted to see a movie together and he said that he had a lot of homework and had to study. I went with Kayla and Nora, who was visiting at that time, instead of Zack.

When we got to the movie theater, he was all the way in the front with Ashley... kissing. It hurt me, i confronted him about it the next day at school and he admitted but was also a dick about it. He showed all of our friends the texts I used to send him and he said I was too clingy for his liking and he never liked me back. All the effort that I put into our relationship, was shattered that day.

I came out of my flashback and Nora stood there, arms crossed, waiting for me to answer. "Fuck you." I spat at her and my aunt came running downstairs. "Rebecca! Do not use foul language!" She yelled at me. I scoffed. Of course she would protect her daughter.

I bit my tongue so I wouldn't stay anything else, I turned around, and grabbed my phone. I started walking to the door and my aunt was yelling at me, asking where I was going. I didn't reply, where else would I go?

I opened the door and made sure to slam it when it closed. I ran across the yard to Vinny's. I knocked on the door and he opened it. "Rebecca!- Are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head and realized that I was crying from the anger. He moved to the side and I walked in his house.

***

I explained what happened to Vinny and he just nodded, he let me talk. During my explanation, Abby and Nick arrived and I had to repeat the whole thing again. When I was done I was relaxed and i wasn't crying anymore. I guess talking things out helps.

"Do you think he would cheat?" I finally asked them and without hesitation they all shook their heads. "No, he said he loves you Becca, I don't think he'll cheat. And I know it was even a question at all but, I know he truly loves you, he says he loves you and it's because he does. No other false reason, and he does a good job by expressing it." She winked at me and I blushed a bit.

"I know he wouldn't, it not like him." Nick said and smiled at me. "Plus," Vinny added. "He made us sign papers." Vinny said and I gave him a confused look.

"What kind of papers?" I asked. "He wrote stuff on loseleaf and it basically said how much he loves you and if he ever breaks your heart, we have permission to beat him up." Nick answer and chuckled.

"Really?" I asked and Nick and Vinny nodded. "I guess I don't have anything to be worried about." I said and they all agreed.

Just then Mikey's contact came unto my phone screen, "I'll be right back." I told them and I slid the call button and his voice echoed in my head. "Hey baby, I miss you." He said and I can picture him smiling. "Hey babe, I miss you too."
