Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Six

(Vinny's POV)

How do I explain how I'm feeling right now? Well, it's probably impossible, but I'll give it a try. Imagine, your best friend had been kidnapped, and they finally found her. You had her back, and for good, right? Not right. She goes off with another group of people, and completely forgets about your existence. How would you feel then? Pretty damn bad, right? Well, that's how I feel currently. Only about ten times worse. My chest actually burned from the pain, all I have done for the past week is cry. And I am surprised I have not passed out due to the low water levels in my body. "Vin?" Mikey sat next to me on my bed. I stared ahead, a blank expression on my face. I had nothing to say. And I don't think I'll ever talk again. If I did, everything I was feeling would all come spilling out, and I wouldn't be able to stop it. "Vinny, plesse talk to me..." Mikey sighed, I could see he was genuinely concerned. And I love him for that. He was my absolute best friend and I know I can trust him with absolutely anything. But right now, I don't think anyone can understand what I'm feeling. Not even him. Mikey groaned, and stood up. "Listen, I'm trying to be helpful here. I'm trying to help you get over her. I know, if I ever lost Krissy, I'd be the same way. But come on bro. You can't be depressed forever. I leave for tour in nineteen days. I'm not going to be able to be by your side forever. I need you to get better. Anyways, she's not even that great of a girl..." Mikey muttered the last part. I felt anger bubble inside of me. "Excuse me?" I growled, Mikey's head shot up in surprise. "You talked?" He asked. "She is an amazing girl. She's perfect in every way, shape, and form. I don't deserve her. And if you ever say anything like that about her again, I'll beat your fucking face in." I growled, glaring at him. Mikey nodded, and did something on his phone. "That's all I needed to hear. Feel better bro. I'm gonna take off." He walked out of my room, and I cussed at myself. I just blew up on the last person who truly cared about me. I fell backwards on to my bed, and tears fell down my face. I'm so screwed up....

(Mikey's POV)

I'm a great best friend. I had recorded me and Vinny's whole conversation, and I was going to play it back for Gab. I need to make her realize she's with the wrong guy. I walked to their house, and knocked on the door. Krissy opened, and smiled, and I pulled her closer, and connected our lips. "Hi baby." "Hi babe! What brings you over?" She asked, letting me in. "I need to let Gab listen to something, is she around?" I asked, hanging my coat up. "Um, nope. She's out with Marko." Krissy said, rolling her eyes. I sighed, and sat on the couch with her. None of us really liked him, I mean, I only knew him because he plays football, and if you play football, everybody knows who you are. "I really hate him... He's bad news. The whole squad told me he was telling the other guys on the team he was going to get it in today...." Krissy said, her expression showing her genral concern for her sister. "Well, did you try and stop her?" I asked. "Of course! But she doesn't listen to me. I swear, even though she's older by ten minutes, I swear, I'm so much smarter than her!" Krissy yelled. I engulfed her into a hug, attempting to calm her down. Her chest started to heave, cluing me in that she was crying. I pulled her closer, and rubbed her back. "Shh baby...." "I just don't want him to take advantage of her. She doesn't deserve that...." Krissy sniffled. I sighed, and rubbed her back. My girlfriend was crying, and I was not okay with that. We need to make Marko get out of the picture....
