Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

At Camp

Michela and Massimo went to camp that day, Massimo already threatened Alec over the phone last night so he tolerated his twin's date. They both found it weird that Justin was not there to greet them as he has for a long time. Michela looked around and shrugged.

"I'm heading over to Nickey's house after camp with Alec, I'll see if I can ask Justin if everything is alright then,"

Massimo nodded and smiled.

"Sounds like a plan,"

Okan immediately sensed something different with Michela and immediately pulled her aside.

"What happened?"

Michela smiled at her mentor,

"Alec asked me out yesterday at Times Square, I said yes,"

Okan hid his shock at the news, this was not something he thought would happen.

"Wait...Really?"

Michela nodded. Okan decided that he had to support his pupil.

"I'm happy for you Michela, but he better know to not hurt you,"

Michela laughed and nodded.

"He's about to get confronted by three guys today so I think he will get the memo."

Okan nodded and smiled at her.

At the Belasco House

Nicholas woke up early and went to check up on Justin. He found him still fast asleep with some more dried up tears. Nicholas sighed sadly and closed the door again. He talked to Ashley last night and they both shared their point of view of Justin and Michela. Ashley was heartbroken when she heard about what is going on with Justin, Nicholas felt some hope for the two when Ashley told him that Michela found the lyrics and loved them. Nicholas heard a groan and looked up from the eggs. He saw Justin squinting and rubbing at his face.

"Well, you look absolutely perfect today,"

"Shut up,"

Nicholas frowned when he heard how hoarse Justin's voice was.

"Go take a shower, Justin, I'll make you a breakfast wrap,"

Justin nodded and left.

A Few Hours Later

Jake and Bryce arrived at the house and greeted Nicholas immediately, they noticed that Justin was absent but almost assumed that he went to camp. Bryce looked around.

"How's Justin?"

Nicholas smiled sadly at them.

"I have never seen him so broken up...it's so bad,"

Jake sighed and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Those two don't understand what they have yet. I'm sorry though man, I wish they would just confess and get together,"

Nicholas nodded.

"Yeah, me too, he's in his room still, I made him take a shower because he looked like absolute trash,"

The gay couple winced in sadness. Bryce looked at his watch,

"They should be here any second now, do we have a plan?"

Nicholas sighed.

"I just want to know his intentions towards Mickey, I just have this weird feeling about him,"

They both agreed with him. That's when they heard the door open and saw Michela smiling with a nervous Alec behind her. Michela looked at her three best friends,

"Jack, Bryce, and Nickey, this is Alec. Alec, this is Jake, Bryce, and Nicholas,"

Alec smiled and shook their hands.

"Nice to meet you guys, nice seeing you again Nicholas,"

After formalities were exchanged, Michela looked at Nicholas,

"Nickey, where is Justin? He wasn't at camp today, is he alright?"

Nicholas did not know how to answer that, he checked up on his brother before letting Jake and Bryce in and Justin was still very much a mess.

"Yeah, he's just not feeling well, do you mind if you stay in my room while we talk to Alec?"

Michela frowned in worry about Justin. Michela smiled and nodded.

"I don't mind, no promises about going through anything!"

Nicholas chuckled and nodded,

"I'm fine with that,"

Michela and Nicholas hid nothing from each other, well except the fact that Michela did not tell him that she likes Justin, but Nicholas knows so that's not a secret either. Once Michela left, the three turned to Alec, Alec was smirking slightly. Jake looked at him.

"What are your intentions with Michela?"

They probably would have started off with something like the speech that Nicholas gave Jake all those weeks ago, but they don't trust Alec. Alec smirked, formulating the best plan to crush the girl.

"Oh you know, I want to gain her trust,"

Bryce crossed his arms and stared him down.

"What do you like about her?"

"How trusting she is, also her smile,"

None of them liked his responses. Nicholas glared at him.

"Why did you ask her out?"

Alec smirked,

"To get closer to her,"

Jake glared at him even harder,

"Cut to the chase boy,"

Alec's smirk widened,

"To break her heart, ruin her life,"

With Michela

Michela was bored...very bored. She went through every square inch of Nicholas's room and did not find anything interesting. She left the room momentarily and looked at Justin's door...

Back to the Boys

Nicholas, Jake, and Bryce were shocked and furious at his response. Nicholas walked up close to him and grabbed a fistful of his shirt.

"Listen here Alec if you so much as harm a motherfucking hair on her head, you will die. Understand?"

Alec stared him down back, finding this amusing.

"Understood,"

Nicholas let him go. That was when Alec looked Jake right in the eye,

"I understand that you can't stop me from hurting her, I will break her...and you will help me,"

Jake didn't think when he did it, the next thing they knew was Alec was yelling out in pain and backing up from them, holding his nose. Michela ran down the stairs and gasped when she saw Alec clutching his bleeding nose.

"What the HELL happened?!"

Jake looked at her and felt guilty but stopped himself, he pointed at Alec,

"This bitch wants to break your heart!"

Alec immediately shook his head,

"That's not true! I was talking about how I really like you and think that you are the one for me! Then he went all psycho on me!"

Everyone looked at him in complete shock, Michela looked at Jake in sadness. She walked up to her three best friends.

"Why can't you accept that I wanted to try things with Alec? I always had your back...I thought all of you were supposed to have my back in every possible way."

The three boys were horrified when Michela teared up, Nicholas stepped forward.

"Of course we support you Mickey, but he threatened y-"

Michela raised her hand to cut him off,

"St-stop...I don't want to hear it...I-I never thought you guys would do this to me."

She went to Alec and helped support him. She started walking out, but she hesitated. She looked back, the three boys were looking at her and saw tears spill, they were horrified at what was actually happening. Michela took off her charm bracelet.

"Goodbye,"

She dropped the bracelet and left the house, leaving three shocked and heartbroken boys in her wake. Nicholas looked down at the bracelet and fell to his knees.

"Oh my god."

Jake just looked at his hand, the same one that punched Alec and caused all of this. Bryce saw his boyfriend looking at him and pulled him into a hug, Jake started crying quietly while in his lovers' arms. Nicholas just had his face in his hands, trying hard to not cry about his best friend leaving him and accusing them about not wanting her to be happy.

With Michela and Alec

Michela was helping Alec but he stopped her.

"I know this is a stupid question, but are you okay?"

"Heh, I should be asking you that Alec,"

Alec made her stop walking and looked her in the eye.

"I'm sorry about your friends Princessa, I'm sorry I messed everything up for you,"

Michela's eyes widened, she shook her head.

"This isn't your fault Alec,"

Alec pulled her into a hug. Michela smiled into the hug,

"How'd I get lucky with you?"

"The real question is, how did I never find you before?"

Michela chuckled. They stayed that way until they finally got to Michela's place. Alec left after telling Michela that he would fix his nose when he gets home. Michela went to her room and took out her phone. She saw no texts or calls from the three boys that broke her, so she went to their contacts and...she blocked them.
