Behind the Scenes (A Mikey Fusco Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Twenty-Two

(Gabrielle's POV)

My heart dropped when I saw Mikey getting swarmed on the news.... I was mad at him, but never did I want something like that to happen to him. He looked so terrified. But I hated myself for feeling sorry for him. "Gab?" Andrea stood in my doorway, a bag of assorted tootsie rolls in her hand. "Hey." I smiled, slowly sitting up in the hospital bed. "Come in." She walked in, and set the bag in my lap, and sat in the chair next to my bed. "The doctor said you'd be out in a few days. You'll be on crutches though." "Oh, how fun." I groaned. "Remember when we were both on crutches when we were in seventh grade?" She laughed. "Yes, we both were jumping on our beds in the hotel and we fell at the same time." I cracked up. She smiled, but I noticed it fell quickly. "Gab... I'm sorry I showed you that video." "No, don't be sorry! I'm glad you showed me. And I would've seen it eventually... You were just being a good best friend." I said, touching her hand. She sniffled, and put her head down. "I ruined you and Mikey... You were so happy when you were near him... You guys could've been together." "No, Drea! He was a jerk... I didn't need him in my life. You saved me from getting even more hurt." I said. She nodded, and wiped her eyes. "I'm going to go to the bathroom and fix my make up... Want anything?" I shook my head, and squeezed her hand again. She half smiled at me, and walked out. I sighed, and laid back into my pillow. I reached over on to the stand next to my bed, and grabbed my phone. I went through my pictures, until I found the video I had taken of Mikey a few weeks ago. I pressed play, and watched as Mikey threw grapes in the air, bouncing them on his nose, and then catching them in his mouth. I couldn't help but laugh. I was going to miss him. I had become so close to him. My heart started to hurt again from thinking about what had happened with him. I sighed, and quickly pressed the delete button, watching the video disappear from my phone. I needed to accept it. The Mikey I grew close to, the one I had feelings for... He didn't really exist...
