Temptations (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Eight

(Gabrielle's POV)

What did I just do? Oh my God. I shut the door, and fell on to my bed, sobbing. I had just lot my best friend in the whole entire world. I had disgusted her so much, she didn't even want me on tour with her! I'm terrible. I tried to stop the tears, but they just kept coming, and coming, and c- Someone knocked at my door. I sat up, and wiped my eyes. "G-G-o a-wa-aay." I cried. The door still opened, revealing Mikey. Great. "What, are you going to yell at me too? Or are you just going to look at me in dissapointment like your girlfriend?" I asked through tears. "Actually, I came here to do both...." Mikey said. I stared at him, bewildered, and he cracked a smile. "I'm kidding!" I rolled my eyes, and covered my face with my hands. "Hey, stop crying. I came here to fix things. And by things, I mean everything." Mikey sat on my bed across from me, and pulled out his phone. He pressed play, and I listened: "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..." Ouch. That one hurt. "How is this supposed to help me? You're just insulting me..." I said, getting angrier. "Just listen!" Mikey yelled. "Excuse me?" That was Vinny's voice. He had finally talked. "You talked?" I shook my head, he's such a Mikey, I swear. "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." Woah. The recording stopped, and Mikey looked up at me. Vinny had said those things about me? After all that I had done to him? I had gone back to completely ignoring him this past week, and he still protected me. Wow. He really loves me. I shook the thought out of my head.... I had Marko. But, Vinny was perfect.... To me at least. No. Stop. He had hurt me, with Marko it's a clean slate, a new beginning. I couldn't stay hunched over the same boy for the rest of my life... Right? "Gab?" Mikey broke me from my thought. I had forgotten he was there. "Um, thanks for playing me this... But, I'm with Marko. I can't be with Vinny...." I said, without thinking. Mikey sighed, and looked up at me. "Listen. I know we haven't known each other long, but I've known Vinny for five years now. I know when he's in love with a girl. And I'm sure of it, that's he's in love with you. He has talked about you, since the day I met him. You mean the world and more to him. I know you guys don't have a perfect past, but you know what, that's the PAST. You can't live there, or you'll miss all the possibilites in the present. I know you probably don't care about what I think, but, if I were you, I'd go with Vinny. Because I know for a fact, that if he were with you, he'd treat you like a princess." And with that, he got up, and left. I sighed, and fell back into my pillow. My brain actually ached, and so did my heart. I sighed, and dialed his number into my phone. "Hello?" He answered. I sighed, and took a deep breath. "Marko, we need to break up...."
