Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Eight

(Gabrielle's POV)

I pulled out my earphones, and groaned. Freaking it's just my luck that this would happen. "Hey...." Vinny bit his lip, and smiled down at me. I rolled my eyes, and went to put my earphones back in, but he pulled them from my hands. "What the fuck Vinny?" I screamed, standing up. If anything, he knew my music was very important to me. "Talk to me." He pleaded, his eyes were crying in desperation. I sighed, and sat down. He knew tears made me feel bad. That little bastard. He sat down in the desk next to mine. "There's nothing to talk about Vinny...." I said, getting angry. "Yes there is...." He said, making me look into his eyes. "I miss us." With those words, anger bubbled inside me. "Us?! Vinny, what the fuck? There never was an US and that's all because of YOU." I yelled. "We were best friends! I loved you like a sister for God's sake!" Vinny yelled back, which took me by surprise... Vinny never yells. I glared at him, and tried to hold back the words that were coming, I didn't want to end up punching him. But, as I learned about myself, I'm never successful at holding back something that's on my mind. The words escaped my mouth before I could even give it another thought... "THAN WHY DID YOU TELL ME YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR GIRLS LIKE ME?!" Tears started to form in my eyes, and I didn't stop them from falling, like I usually would. I had held all this in for too long, and now it was all going to come spilling out. "I loved you so damn much Vinny. My heart belonged to you, because I never thought you would actually break it. But you dissapointed me. You broke it without even giving it a second thought. And then when I went to give you a second chance.... You say something like that? I was broken Vinny, and I'm probably never going to ever recover from that. My best friend told me I wasn't good enough for him, after dating my twin sister... How do you think I felt? Hm?" Vinny sat there, and didn't answer. I sighed, and took deep breaths. "Exactly. You don't know, and you probably don't even care. So, I'm right. There's nothing else to be said here. We were friends Vinny, I was hoping we could be more that that. But, after all you've put me through, I don't want you in my life at all." I admitted, and grabbed my iPod out of his hands. As I put my earphones back in, he stopped me, and looked into my eyes. I saw something in them... I couldn't put my finger on exactly what is was though. He took my hand in his, and rubbed my plam with his thumb. "I only did that because I didn't want to lose you if we broke up. I dated Krissy because I thought it would be like dating you, but it wasn't. I loved you Gab, I was just so afraid that moving from just friends, to girlfriend and boyfriend would be a bad idea. And, to explain me being a jerk after ABDC... Well, there's not really a lot to say but the fame got to my head. But, I'm here now. And if you give me another chance, I swear.... I will never hurt you again." Vinny admitted. I gnawed on my bottom lip, so many thoughts going through my head. Should I forgive him? No, he hurt you.... But, maybe he changed? I doubt it. I sighed, and shushed my conflicting mind. Before I could answer, a teacher walked in, and told us we could go. I gathered all my stuff, and ran out of the building, straight to Zan's car. "Drive. Please." I begged. She did, and only after I sat in the car did I notice her mom was driving. "Oh, hi Mrs. Bongiovi." I blushed. She laughed, and said hi to me. I sighed, and put my earphones in. Maybe music will get my mind of this....
