Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Seven

(Gabrielle's POV ; Three hours later)

I got a call from Krissy saying she need me home now. And that it was urgent. I sighed, and texted her back, telling her I'd home in about an hour. She flipped out saying she needed my home sooner, but I told her to chill, I was still pretty pissed at her. "Marko, my sister needs me home soon." I sighed. "Awe...." He frowned. "I know." I pouted. "Oh, before you go, I need to talk to you about something..." He said, facing me. "What is it baby?" I asked, facing him. "You were thinking about going on tour with Zan, right?" He asked. I nodded, thinking I knew where he was taking this. He wanted me to tell her I couldn't go. How could I do that to my best friend? We had been planning for this since November. This was going to be our time to hang out. No stress, no boys, nothing but us. She'd hate me if I said I didn't want to go anymore. And, the thing is, she already probably hates me because I haven't talked to her in a month. So, she'd hate me more. Either way, I was just digging myself deeper and deeper into this hole I had created. "I want you to stay here.... I don't feel comfortable with you being around other boyz without me there...." He said, taking my hands in his. I sighed, and looked into his eyes. "Baby, it's not that easy. Me and Zan have been looking forward to this for forever now... This was going to be our time together." "So, you'd rather be with her, than with me?" He asked, letting go of my hands. "That's not what I said. Why are you putting words into my motuh?" I asked, standing up. He glared at me, and then his expression softened. "No, you're right. I'm sorry. I'm selfish for asking you to stay. You deserve time with your friends too. It's just, I'm going to miss you terribly." He sighed, pulling me closer. I stood in between his legs, his arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I looked into his blue eyes, and sighed. I could see the sadness in them. I wanted to go with Zayn... But, Marko.... It wouldn't hurt if I missed one show, right? But, then at the same time, it was the first show of the tour. If I miss that, it doesn't really make sense to go to the others. I groaned, and looked at him. "I'll tell her I can't go." Marko suddenly got really happy again. "You're an amazing girlfriend baby." He stood up, and pulled me towards him, connecting our lips, his hands resting on my lower back. I kissed him, and smiled, but the smile was fake. I was torn. I wanted to make Marko happy, but his happiness might cost me a friend....

(Krissy's POV)

"Where the fuck is she?" I growled, slamming my phone down on the table. "Baby... Calm down..." Mikey pulled me into his lap, and connected our lips. I sighed, and relaxed a little. "I'm sorry. It's just, she said she'd be home in an hour, and it was been an hour and fifteen minutes. Did she just forget about us or something?" "No baby, I'm sure she'll be home any minute now. Just give her time." Mikey said, rubbing my back in a circular motion. I smiled, and laid my head on his shoulder. He always knows how to calm me down. Finally, behind me, I heard the door open, then shut, and I heard her voice shout, "I'm homeee." I quickly shot up, and ran to her. "Where have you been?" I asked, my anger building up inside me. She rolled her eyes, and peeled off his football jacket, hanging it up next to Mikey's. She walked right by me, and into the living room, where she greeted Mikey, and sat down. "So what was so urgent that you needed to break me away from my boyfriend?" "Mikey wants you to listen to something." I said, sitting on the arm of the couch. "Okay?" She said, obviously confused. Just as Mikey was pressing play, the doorbell rung. Gab ran out of the room, as if she knew who it was. Sucha weirdo. When I opened the door, Zan walked in. "Hi baby girl! It's been too long!" I smiled, hugging her. "Exactly! I came to see my two favorite girls.... Where's Gab?" Zan asked, walking in. "Upstairs. She's being a bitch today...." I said, rolling my eyes. "Let me go talk to her...." Me and Zan walked upstairs, only to hear Gab on the phone. So that's why she ran upstairs! We stuck our ear against the door, and listened to her conversation. "Yes baby, I'm going to tell her I can't go. Actually, I'm thinking I'm going to fake sick the day we're leaving, so she won't get mad at me. Yes, I'll be able to hang the next day, Krissy is going with them. Okay, yes, see you tomorrow, bye baby!" She hung up, and then the door swung open. Her face turned red, and she smiled fakely at us. "How much did you hear?" She asked. "Enough to tell you this. You don't have to worry about faking sick anymore, because I don't want you at the show anymore. Actually, I don't want you at any show. Just forget about coming to any of the tour. Krissy, I'll text you later. Bye babes." Zan growled, and ran downstairs. I looked at Gab, and shook my head. I hope she's happy, her stupid little boyfriend just cost her one of her best friends....
