The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me

In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, ooh oh

Michela knew one person to immediately call: Ashley. She took out her phone, she had a lot of explaining to do. She went to the contact: Baeeeee! (Bold is Ashley)

"Michela Kastle! Why did it take so long for you to finally call me?!"

"I'm sorry Ash! It's just that a lot of things have been going on,"

"Well, please tell,"

Michela explained everything about Alec to Ashley, she was beyond shocked that Michela found a small very mini crush.

"Wait...you are DATING someone now?! What about Justin?!"

"Ash...I really do wish it was gonna be him...but like I've been saying, he doesn't like me the way I like him...and I just couldn't bring myself to say no to Alec, I felt bad."

"Oh, Mickey. I get that...but you deserve to be happy, and we both know that Alec isn't the one,"

"I know, I know...but like I should still give him a chance, right? He IS nice and all,"

"Yeah...I guess so...so what else do you have to tell me?"

"How-"

"Honey, you are my bae, of course I know you have more to say."

Michela chuckled

"When I was leaving the park, I found a crumpled up piece of paper, I just read it a few minutes ago...it's a poem or something...and it's for me!"

Ashley got excited when she heard that, she vaguely recalled Nicholas telling her that Justin was making something for Michela.

"Ooh! That is so sweet!"

"Yeah! But I don't know who made it! And some of the words are smudged cuz it was very crumpled up and stuff...I wish I knew who made it,"

"I betcha you will eventually find out,"

"Yeah...I don't know...who should I tell next? Cuz I think Nickey will blow up on me,"

Ashley chuckled and nodded, already picturing her fiancé's reaction to finding out that she is now dating a boy who he had a bad feeling about.

"Tell Jake and Bryce next, they might have a smaller reaction than Nick,"

"Yeah, thanks, Ash!"

"Anytime Mickey, let me know what they do!"

"Hahahahaha! Yeah, I will,"

Michela hung up and went to the contact: Jack! (Bold is Jake and Italicized is Bryce)

"Yo Stranger!"

"Hey, weirdo, what's up?"

"Can you put me on loudspeaker with Silver eyes too?"

"Uh, yeah,"

"Hey M!"

"Hey, Silver! Soooo...got some news for both of you,"

"What is it?"

"I was asked out by Alec and we are dating..."

"WHAT?!!"

"Ouch! My ears!"

"What about Justin?! I did NOT kiss you twice just for it NOT to work out!"

"Girl! You like Justin so much! Why would you say yes to Alec? He's weird and we don't have a good feeling about him,"

"Yeah yeah...but like how could I say no? He was being so nice. Plus, Justin will never like me the way I like him. I just gotta move on I guess,"

"But Ella! You have liked Justin for over a year,"

"And nothing happened...I think it's time to give up,"

"I respect what you are saying M, but this is not the way to do it! You can't rush into things like these,"

"I get that both of you are worried...but I'll be careful guys, I promise."

"Fine....I still don't give full consent-"

"But! We will support you M, right Jake?"

"Uh...yeah. We support you weirdo, just don't do anything toooo stupid."

"Yeah I know, and I won't."

"Good! Now I can't wait to threaten him,"

"JAKE!"

"What? I'm so threatening him Ella, can't stop me from doing that,"

Michela rolled her eyes and smirked.

"Whatever, anyway I gotta call Nickey now....I think I'm gonna need luck for this one."

"Ouch! Massive best friend protective alert! Good luck,"

"Hahah! Thanks, Bryce. Bye guys!"

"Bye!"

Michela hung up and sighed, looking at the inevitable contact name. She pressed the call button. (Bold is Nickey)

"Heyyyyy Nickey,"

Nicholas fought the urge to already scorn her for doing something that hurt his brother.

"What did you do?"

"How do you know I did something??"

"You always start the call off with 'heyyyyy Nickey' whenever you do something that you know I won't like,"

"Pshhhhh, nahhh,"

"Surreeeeeee...so what's up?"

"Okay, promise you won't commit murder?"

"Okay, who did what to you?"

"Nothing! Absolutely nothing,"

"Continueee."

Michela sighed

"Alec asked me to be his date,"

Nicholas was in pure shock. It was way worse than he thought.

"He did WHAT?!! What did you say?"

"Uhh...I said yes,"

"What?! Why??"

"Well, he's nice and stuff...and I thought that I should just give him a chance."

"He didn't even ask me for permission! Did he ask Mass? Or Jake? Or ANYONE?"

"I get that you are mad....I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, and no he didn't ask...but like I think I do like him,"

Nicholas frowned, even more, he had reached a new peak of anger...sure, he was furious at Kenzee...but how dare someone asked Michela out without asking for permission.

"How do you feel around him?"

Nicholas knew his brother was hurting so much because of this, but he also had a duty to his best friend.

"Umm....I get small butterflies in my stomach, he's made me blush a few times....umm, he's funny and stuff like that,"

Nicholas sighed knowing for a fact that Michela was only infatuated by him and did not actually like him that much.

"I don't know Mickey..."

"Please accept this, for me?"

Nicholas frowned and sighed.

"Fine fine...but I gotta talk to him,"

"Perfect! Thank you so much, Nickey, I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah,"

"Bye! Love you!"

"Love you too, bye!"

They both hung up, Michela texted Alec saying that he needed to talk to Nicholas, Jake, and Bryce. Nicholas went to check up on his brother and found Justin face down in his pillow, finally asleep. Nicholas sighed sadly and moved his brother to the side and saw that his eyes were slightly swollen from crying so much. He took a wipe and cleaned his face up. He cleaned up the tissues that surrounded him and threw them out. Justin didn't shower like he was advised to do but Nicholas just sighed and left, after covering up his brother in a blanket.
