“You know your help would be great Vinnie.” Reggie says sarcastically while trying his best to figure out how to pitch their tent. Maria and Nate went off to scope the area since they already set up their tent, so it left the two Hacker brothers to figure out how to create their sleeping arrangements.
“Yea yea one sec.” He responds placing his phone on the picnic table he was sitting on before looking up to see a German Shepard walking towards him. Vinnie’s eyes instantly brighten and a smile washes over his face as he calls the dog over.
The black and brown dog trots over to Vinnie with a wagging tail and almost immediately the friendly animal starts to leave slobbery kisses all over Vinnie’s face. Vinnie lets out a laugh as he moves his face out of the way, but continues to the pet the dog.
“Who’s dog is that?” Reggie asks walking over to his brother, giving up on the tent.
“I don’t know it just came up to me. It’s friendly though.”
Reggie simply shrugs his shoulders and joins his brother in petting the dog. However, just as Vinnie opened his mouth to suggest that they should call the number on the dogs collar an unfamiliar voice calls out.
“Zeus! Where are you boy?”
Reggie looks up from the dog and his mouth almost immediately drops open when he see’s a gorgeous girl searching the area looking for something. He nudges his brother who was still petting the dog and cooing at it in a baby voice. Vinnie looks up at Reggie annoyed before he decides to look at what his brothers line of vision was fixated on.
As Vinnie looks over yours and his eyes simultaneously meet. Albeit cliché, Vinnie could’ve sworn he had the air knocked out of him just by making eye contact with you. He’s never felt anything like it before.
You on the other hand quickly glance down and relief washes over you as you finally spot your dog that wandered off of your families campsite. You quickly walk over to Zeus, your dog and the two boys that were with him.
“Zeus I should’ve known you went to mooch food off of strangers!” You exclaim to your dog who quickly walks over to your side before you finally look back up and make eye contact with the boys. As you do so seemingly the same effect you had on Vinnie, he had on you. How did you not realize how attractive he was when you were walking over to them?
“I’m sorry about him he does this at every campsite we go to. You would think we don’t feed him, but he’s just a glutton.” You say, heat washing over your face due to the fact your dog wandered off and found the most attractive guys you’ve ever seen.
“No no it’s okay we needed a break.” Vinnie says nodding over to the unpitched tent while smiling at how flustered you got from his gaze on you.
Reggie scoffs looking at you then his brother. “We needed a break?” He asks with a raised eyebrow. “Vinnie, I’ve been trying to set up the tent for the last 15 minutes while you were trying to find service so you could make a tiktok.”
It was now Vinnie’s turn to be flustered. “Pfft, that’s not true.” The blond says obviously fibbing and you simply look at him amused.
“Do you guys need help? My family and I go camping every summer so I’m basically an expert at setting up tents.” You suggest.
“Yea sure that would be great.” Vinnie says standing up for the first time in the last twenty minutes while smiling at you. Without another word the three of you walk over to the unpitched tent with Zeus following along.
“My name is Y/N by the way.” You say glancing at Vinnie before kneeling down to work your magic.
“Vinnie and that’s Reggie.”
And that was how you and Vinnie Hacker met, all thanks to your gluttonous dog who loved showing off his puppy dog eyes to strangers in return for food. Little did either of you know how much this small interaction would have an impact on the other. As the Hacker’s camping trip went on the more your family and Vinnie’s bumped into each other and finally one night your dad invited the Hacker’s over to your campsite for a bonfire. Almost instantly yours and Vinnie’s acquaintance status changed to friends. Soon enough your family and Vinnie’s family spent the rest of the camping trip together, going swimming, boating, tubbing and more.
That was no different for the last full day of your camping trip. In fact Vinnie finally gathered up the courage to ask you on a date despite the fact you two originally lived hours away from each other.
“Thank you.” You say glancing up to the waiter that just took away your empty plates and placed the bill on the table. You look back up at Vinnie who was already staring at you with admiration, causing heat to wash over your face.
Too flustered to look at the boy in front of you, you take in the scenic view. You two sat out on the patio over looking the lake with mountains, foliage and the sun setting in the distance. The restaurant Vinnie took you to was one of the fancy ones in town and the two of you stood out like a sore thumb due to your clothes. Showing up to the restaurant and sitting down to eat in a normal t-shirt and shorts was the equivalent of eating at McDonald’s in a prom dress and suit. Yet, the disapproving stares from other patrons made the whole experience even more memorable.
“This is very nice thank you Vinnie.”
“Anything for you.” He says softly, placing his hand on the table in which you take without hesitating, causing both of your heart beats to increase.
“Do you want to hit O’Riley’s after?” You ask, referencing the ice cream shop the two of you went to seemingly every day of the trip to cool off on your walk back to the campsite after a day full of activities.
Vinnie pulls out his wallet from his shorts to pay for the expensive meal while looking at you with a smile on his face. “Great minds think alike.”
Without another word you two leave the fancy restaurant hand in hand while receiving glares from the regular patrons. Throughout your short walk to the popular ice cream parlor in town the two of you reminisce about the past week and a half together. It honestly felt like a dream.
“You know I wanted to hold your hand on the hike today, but I couldn’t keep up with you and Zeus.” Vinnie says, recalling the hike you guys went on along with Reggie and your brother.
“Clearly you need to work on your stamina, City Boy. That incline wasn’t even that bad.” You joke poking Vinnie in the stomach before leaving his grasp to wander over to the menu of ice cream flavours. Vinnie was infatuated with everything about you and he adored how you made fun of him for being from Seattle. The blond lets out a laugh and follows you, wrapping his arms around your waist and placing his chin on the top of your head as he analyzed the menu as well. Almost instantly you melted into his touch.
“Okay Snow White.” He retorts back remembering how basically every animal or even bug seemingly gravitated towards you throughout the trip.
“What can I say Vinnie. I’m just that captivating.” You say turning to look at Vinnie before winking.
After a few minutes of waiting in line and you changing your mind on what flavour you wanted for the fifth time the two of you finally order and make your way over to a bench nearby. You weren’t a stranger to Lake Chelan and what you loved most about the small town was how close everything was. In fact the bench you and Vinnie decided to sit down on wasn’t too far from O’Riley’s, but it was close enough to the lake to witness the scenic view in full.
Once you two sat down you guys instantly turned to each other and tapped the other’s ice cream cones, causing some of your ice cream to transfer to Vinnie’s and some of Vinnie’s to transfer to yours. You introduced this small practice to Vinnie on the third day of hanging out together. In which the reason behind it was simply because you’ve been doing it ever since you were little for good luck and to have a small taste of the other person’s ice cream.
Vinnie watches as you taste his flavour, red velvet while your eyes light up, causing him to smile. “Holy shit yours is good.” You say before taking a lick of your flavour which was blueberry cheese cake. The blond laughs in amusement as your face of delight quickly turns into disgust.
“Yea I definitely should have gotten yours or moose tracks.”
Without hesitating Vinnie softly takes your ice cream cone out of your hand and switches it with his. “There you go.”
“Vinnie, no this is yours.” You say reaching for your ice cream back, but he simply puts his hand above you and ultimately out of your reach.
Vinnie laughs playfully as he watches you attempt to reach the cone with your original flavour from your spot beside him. “Y/N like I said earlier, anything for you.”
You roll your eyes at the blonds cheesiness, but you end up sitting back down placing your head on his shoulder while heat washed over your body at how he made you feel.
The sound of kids riding their bikes, crickets and birds splashing in the lake could be heard while the setting sun continued to reflect off of the water. “It’s so beautiful here.” You say after swallowing your last bite and taking in the view in front of you.
“Yea it is.”
You turn to Vinnie and your heart begins to race when you notice he was already looking at you. Some may think this moment was cliche, but to you it was perfect. In fact your hopeless romantic dreams were being fulfilled.
Vinnie’s gaze on you was intense and you couldn’t bring yourself to break it. Instead you found yourself flickering your eyes down to his plump lips and back up to his brown eyes. Vinnie follows your lead and his proximity causes your breath to hitch.
Without wasting another second Vinnie finally moves in and acts on what he has been wanting to do ever since he got to know you. His lips meet yours and you instantly kiss back, wanting for this to happen for a while yourself.
The kiss was short yet sweet and passionate while leaving both of you flustered. You place your head back onto Vinnie’s shoulder, your hand finding his and intertwining your fingers. A comfortable silence falls upon you two as both of you take in the perfect moment.
“I don’t want this trip to end.” Vinnie says breaking the silence while rubbing his thumb across your skin and admiring the scenic view in front of him.
It scared Vinnie how fast his feelings for you developed and continued to do so and he was quite frankly disappointed that you guys live so far away from each other. Although you both lived in the same state you lived closer to Portland while he remained in Seattle. You two created a once in a lifetime connection throughout a camping trip and it seemed as if it was going to end just like that.
“I promise I’ll say goodbye and give you my number before we leave tomorrow don’t worry.” You say lifting your head off of Vinnie’s shoulder before placing a kiss on his cheek. The whole trip you refused to give Vinnie your number or social medias simply because you realized their was more to life than the internet. You would rather be going hiking or playing in the rain than being on your phone, which Vinnie adored considering he was so consumed with his platform on TikTok.
However, your promise would ultimately be broken when Vinnie woke up the next morning. The blond boy walked over to your campsite with a small bouquet of wildflowers he picked along the way. He could hear the beat of his heart in every step he took, knowing this would be the last time he saw you for a while.
When Vinnie reached your campsite his heart and the bouquet of flowers simultaneously dropped at the same time. Your site was empty. In fact, it looked as if you and your family didn’t even stay there. The only thing that proved that you were there were the tire tracks of your families RV. Now the site was ready for the next group of campers to come in and make their own memories.
Even though you and Vinnie only spent a week and a half together it felt like you two created a lifetime worth of intimate moments and memories. He doesn’t understand how he got so attached to you in such a short amount of time, but he did. The blond boy lets out a deep sigh before turning around to go back to his site, leaving the memories you two created and flowers he brought you behind.

Vinnie lets out a big yawn as he stretches in bed. He grabs his phone and checks the time. 2:43pm. The night before the blond streamed Valorant on twitch until 4 in the morning so there was no wonder as to why he was just waking up. Deciding to stay in bed for a little longer, Vinnie cuddles into his sheets and opens TikTok, Hera joining him a little bit later.
As he scrolls he likes a few and comments on some of his friends posts. However, his incessant scrolling comes to a stop when his for you page lands on a video of Nai’s. Vinnie watches it, but as he does so a familiar face is shown causing his heart rate to increase while butterflies erupted in his stomach. Who knew that one person could still elicit these feelings out of him two years later?
There was no way. It couldn’t be you in the video. Yet there you were in Nai’s tiktok showing off your gecko. You looked the same, but so different at the same time. Vinnie couldn’t help himself, but to watch the tiktok a few more times, every time his smile getting bigger and his heart fuller.
Luckily for him Nai tagged you in the caption in which Vinnie took this opportunity to check out your profile and make sure it was actually you and his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. Right away he knew it was in fact you.
You had just under a million followers and were on the brink of getting verified. As Vinnie scrolled through your profile he finds your first tiktok that went viral and ultimately kick started your career. The video was of you eight months ago running and dancing around in the rain in the middle of the road. Vinnie smiles as he watches and he couldn’t help, but to feel flustered at the fact he finally found you after all these years.
It made him happy to see that you seemingly stayed the same personality wise. From what he remembered you loved everything about nature and animals so there was no surprise to see your account full of videos of you enjoying what you loved. In fact your most viral videos consisted of your ring neck parakeet, Athena.
Just as Vinnie was about to hit the follow button on your account a text from Alex popped up.
I was planning on throwing a chill party tonight is that okay?
He clicked and stared at the message for a few seconds. Seemingly Nai would be invited which meant if you were with her still Nai would likely bring you as her plus one.
Yea ofc.
Vinnie spent the rest of the day going through your social media accounts. He wanted to follow you on every platform possible, but he didn’t want that to creep you out so he decided it was best to wait and see if you came tonight. After all his odds were looking in his favour as the time until the get together dwindled and you and Nai continued to post with each other.
The blond walks out of his washroom freshly showered with a towel around his waist and into his large room. He could hear a bunch of voices and music coming from down stairs so the party must have already started. Just as Vinnie was about to drop his towel to get dressed a familiar voice is heard from the other side of his door.
“Knock knock!” Nai shouts.
“One sec!” Vinnie calls out quickly, throwing on boxers and a pair of black cargo pants before rummaging through his dresser for a shirt. “Come in!”
Almost instantly the door flies open revealing Nailea in all her glory. Vinnie glances over to her in hopes you were with the brunette, but his hopes fall when he see’s you’re no where to be found.
“You seriously need to stop making thirst traps in the shower we all thought you slipped and died with how long you were taking.” Nai says walking into the room and flopping onto Vinnie’s bed.
Vinnie lets out a laugh while he continued to look for a shirt he wanted to wear, his mind being clouded with thoughts of you. Nai was wearing the same outfit she was wearing in the instagram stories she posted with you today so where were you?
Just as Vinnie turns around, putting on a shirt with the intent to discretely ask Nai about you a familiar, but nostalgic voice could be heard in the hallway over Alex’s loud laugh from downstairs. “Nai?”
“In here!”
“Jeez this house is huge I need a map just to leave the washroom.” You say walking into the unfamiliar bedroom. As you do so your eyes lock with Vinnie’s and both of your heart rates increase significantly. Heat washes over you under Vinnie’s gaze and you couldn’t help, but to feel confused. He looked so familiar, but you couldn’t put your finger on where you recognize him from.
Vinnie on the other hand felt as if his heart was going to beat out of his chest. Throughout the past few years he imagined scenarios where he would run into you back at home or at Lake Chelan, but finally being in your presence again caused him to not know how to act.
“Y/N this is Vinnie the friend of mine I wanted you to meet.” Nai says looking at you. “And Vinnie this is Y/N. I think you guys will click instantly especially since you’re both from Washington.”
“Nice to meet you. Can I sit?” You ask nodding over to Vinnie’s bed where Nai was sitting, petting Hera.
“Y-yea of course.” The blond stutters out causing his cheeks to go red. However, a pang of hurt rings throughout the boys heart when he realizes you don’t remember him.
Quickly you make your way over to Vinnie’s bed and without wasting another second you extend your hand out for Hera to smell before petting her. Vinnie watches as you do so. You looked even more beautiful than when he first met you two years prior, if that was even possible. Although you looked slightly different due to the fact you graciously grew into your features Vinnie could tell your personality stayed the same as you continued to gravitate towards animals.
“What’s this cuties name?” You ask scratching under Hera’s chin, causing her to purr before you smile at Vinnie.
“Her name is Hera.”
You let out a gasp, “Did you know Hera was married to Zeus?” You say, recalling your past obsession of Greek Mythology. By now Nai was zoned out of your conversation and was scrolling on tiktok.
“Yea I actually named her after a girl that I met at Lake Chelan, who’s dog was named Zeus.” Vinnie says with a toothy smile on his face.
Your eyes widen and you look back over to the blond, your heart beating a mile a minute while you finally connected the dots.
“City boy?” You breathe out.

Figured It Out - Vinnie Hacker x Reader
Summary - You had feelings for your childhood best-friend until you caught him with someone who wasn’t you. Will an interview with Jimmy Fallon change everything?
Words - 1k
Warnings - heartbreak
Taking a look at the mirror, you readjusted your jacket to make sure it was on properly. Today was the day you were participating in a Jimmy Fallon episode. For the past six months, you had been completely under the radar. You came off of social media, stopped doing interviews and never attended any major events.
Truth be told, your heart was broken. It felt like someone had clawed it out from your chest and ran it over forty times with a train. You were crushed. Who was it because of? Vinnie Hacker. Your childhood best-friend whom you grew to eventually completely fall for.
Flashback:
“Vinnie I swear to god your mom is going to kill you.” You groaned, taking many steps back so he didn’t throw the contents of what was in his hands on you.
“Why would she kill me?” He smirked, raising an eyebrow.
“Because I’m her fucking favourite, now put the flour down and we can resolve this.” You tried to reason with him, but it was to late. Flour was all over you.
“What was that for?” You grabbed the flour bag and threw it all over him.
“You said mom’s favourite was you, so you left me no choice Y/N.” He laughed.
“Hey, you’ve got a little something.” He muttered, reaching towards your chin with his fingers. Staring intently into his eyes, you had no time to think before he was smashing his lips onto yours. It was probably the best and worst mistake ever. Having feelings for your best friend is never a situation to be taken lightly. Was it worth having a relationship with the potential of losing a lifelong friendship?
End of flashback
That’s when you knew you were in love with him. You’d go on dates but try to keep it as low-key as possible. He was a rising social media influencer and you, well you were just trying to make it into the musical industry. Eventually, a record label finally found your talent and here you were, a multi-million album seller with sold out tours.
Months went on, and Vinnie or yourself never put a label on what the two of you were. However, he made it pretty clear what label he wanted when you were greeted to him making out with a girl in his room.
“Just stop thinking about him Y/N.” You cursed to yourself, finding it hard to keep the tears from coming.
“Y/N! You’re on now!” Your manager knocked on your door. You were quick to go and head towards the stage, not before Jimmy had announced your arrival.
“Not only is she the number one music artist of the world but she’s also someone I like to call a friend, please welcome Y/N Y/L/N!” The whole crowd applauded you as you waved at them. Before sitting down, you gave Jimmy a hug.
“It’s so good to see you Y/N, tell me, how have you been?” He asked excitedly.
“It’s amazing to see you to! Thank-you for the warm welcome once again. I’ve been getting there, I took a break from social media which clearly upset a lot of people.” You chuckled.
“Sometimes social media can be so cruel Y/N, it’s nice to know that such great influencers can take that weight off of their back when they need it.” He consoled you and you smiled.
“I was going through a really rough patch in my life and I just needed to come away from it.” You admitted.
“If it makes you happy, then nobody should tell you different. Now Y/N, the last we saw of you, we saw a mysterious man on your tiktok page and some flirtatious looking photos on your Instagram. Do you care to elaborate?” Oh how you wish he hadn’t asked that.
“I believe you did yes, I managed to cover his face because he’s quite popular in the influencer scene now.” You told him and he smirked.
“Tell me Y/N, are you in love with him?“ He joked and if you didn’t laugh about it now, you’d cry.
“At the time Jimmy, I think I was. I was so head over heels for this guy. I don’t want to make this an emotional one because this is my comeback!” You chuckled.
“I couldn’t really fight for him you know? It’s not that I didn’t love him but I just couldn’t do it.” Nearly choking on your words, Jimmy realised this was an extremely sensitive topic for you.
“I completely understand! So Y/N, when do we get a new album? We have been dying to hear your vocals.” And so that’s how the rest of the interview went on. When Jimmy cut to commercial, he managed to catch up to you.
“I’m really sorry if I upset you earlier.” He sighed.
“Please don’t Jimmy, it’s what everyone’s been thinking. It’s good to be honest, at least if people know they won’t keep pestering me.” You chuckled.
“Well you know where I am if you need me kid.” He patted your shoulder before heading back towards his dressing room.
“Your phone has been blowing up.” Your manager put your phone in your face and it seemed everyone knew you were talking about Vinnie.
“You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.” You sighed. It’s crazy how one tiny detail of a person could help the fans discover who the person was.
“They’ve obviously figured out it’s Vinnie, Y/N. It’s down to you what you do next.” She told you.
“What do you recommend?” You asked, not knowing what to do.
“Y/N, they’ve figured it’s his tattoo so you can either tell them the truth or lie to them but believe me if you lie, your name will be in the dumps.” Her phone started ringing so she headed off to answer the call. When you looked back down at your phone, you noticed a text message from an unsaved number.
I saw the live interview and considering everyone’s piecing this whole situation together, maybe you and I should talk about it - Vinnie.

A/N - Well it’s nearly been a year since I’ve been here and I want to say Thank-you for everyone that stuck by. I have decided to change this account into a multi-fandom imagines account, however I never used to be good at uploading so I’m trying to get good again. I hope you enjoy, and please re-send or send in requests, I’d love to create some of your ideas
Living in the Hype House alongside all of your best friends was more than enough. You were so grateful for everything they had achieved. With that being said, you had your fair share of accomplishments. Not only had you successfully made yourself known on social media, but you also launched a strong selling set of merchandise branded in your name.
You had your brother to thank for helping you get started on different platforms. However, it wasn’t always easy living in the same house as your ex boyfriend.
It was a typical day in the content house, Alex was preparing and filming for his YouTube, Mia was testing out new outfits for her pets and you were sat at the kitchen island replying to business emails.
“Hello baby sister, I have your coffee.” Thomas handed you the iced beverage. With a sigh of relief, you thanked him.
“I have never had such a stressful morning in my entire life. I’ve been asked to host the VMA’s but on that exact same evening, management want me to go to Costa Rica with Chelsea to promote her new beauty launch!” You exclaimed whilst still furiously typing away.
“Oh boohoo asshole, some of us only have a blue tick on dating apps.” Michael ruffled up your hair and you smacked him.
“Yeah Y/N must be so hard to be so rich.” Calvin joked and you rolled your eyes.
“You get everything you want, can’t you just come up with a compromise? Like why don’t you host the VMA’s with Chelsea and shoot the beauty launch on a different date?” Michael suggested.
“Not bad Sanzone, but fuck you for making me sound like some brat.” You laughed. Everyone had slowly started gathering around in the kitchen and you knew it was time to shut your laptop off to take a break.
“Miss Famous finally decided to socialise with the rest of her household.” Mia chuckled taking a seat beside you.
“Hardly Miss Famous.” Vinnie muttered and your eyes snapped over to him. It seemed that you had been the only one to have heard him so you let it slide.
“I think Nailea and Larray are coming over to film with us today.” Alex announced.
“Has anyone got plans to leave the house today?” Thomas asked.
“Yeah I do.” You told him. Truth be told you adored Nailea. The only problem was, you. Your insecurity would go through the roof when she used to come over throughout your relationship with Vinnie. Everyone would create ship videos and the worldwide web was nearly convinced them two were the couple and not you and your boyfriend of nearly two years.
“Oh do you now?” Thomas quirked an eyebrow, seeing straight through your bullshit. He was your brother, he knew you didn’t have anywhere specific to go to, today.
“Y/N’s going to an early morning dick appointment, leave her alone.” Michael said it like it was true.
“Of course.” Vinnie rolled his eyes.
“Dude what the fuck is your problem?” You turned and snapped at Vinnie. All eyes were on you and now you regretted reprimanding him.
“I didn’t say shit.” Vinnie groaned.
“For your information Vincent, the only ever dick appointment I attended was yours so please keep your sarcasm to yourself.” The room went silent. The door knocked and you knew it was Larray and Nailea. Everyone rushed to the door, cameras at the ready for whatever content they were going to film. Everyone except you and Vinnie.
“I’m not going to sugarcoat things Vinnie, what’s going on with you lately?” You questioned him.
“You’re not my girlfriend anymore Y/N, so I wouldn’t need to answer that.” He simply said.
“Yeah and whose fault is that? I never done you dirty, not once. You make me out to be the girl who broke your heart, but you broke me first and I’m not gonna sit here and let you convince everyone I’m the bad guy.“
"I think we should have this conversation in private.” Vinnie searched your face to see how you were feeling and he knew you were upset.
“I think you’ve done enough this morning, it’s not even midday and I’m once again having the same sort of conversation I had with you when you broke up with me.” You sighed before heading towards all the commotion of your fellow friends.
“Y/N you look like a hot prostitute in that neon crop top!” Larray rushed over to hug you.
“Nice to see you too honey.” You grinned. Suddenly, Alex’s vlog camera was put into your face.
“Hey Y/N, why don’t you tell Larray about your interesting emails this morning?” Alex zoomed in and you put your face into your hands and shook your head.
“Don’t be embarrassed sweetheart, you know you can tell me anything.” Larry dragged out, wrapping arm over your shoulder.
“Y/N couldn’t decide whether she wanted to host the VMA’s or be put up in a five star hotel in Costa Rica with Chelsea.” Alex held back a laugh as one of your best friends looked at you in disgust.
“Miss Petrou has become way out of her league but bitch come on the VMA’s?” Larry was shocked you’d been offered such opportunities. Alex then went off to record the others.
“You look kinda angry? Did I upset you? Not that I care if I did.” Larry noticed how flustered you looked.
“It’s been a very long morning Larry. You’d only upset me if you stole my car and you won’t do that.” He sent you a smirk, just as he was about to retaliate, two different laughs echoed from behind you. It was Vinnie and Nailea.
“If you don’t look, it won’t hurt.” Great advice Larry, you thought as he headed over to them.
“Are you okay baby sister?” Thomas whispered so nobody would question you.
“I think I’m just gonna chill by the pool. My thoughts are running wild right now.” You admitted and he nodded. You were quick to change into a bathing suit and chose to sunbathe on your own. Luckily for you, Thomas had installed huge Bluetooth speakers, making the whole experience a lot better with some music. Putting your sunglasses on and closing your eyes, you shuffled your music.
you broke me first - Tate McRae
“Now suddenly you’re asking for it back.” You sang whilst admiring the view from your backyard. Oh how the lyrics really hit hard when you were going through a breakup.
“Jesus fucking Christ, shit.” You shouted as someone tapped your shoulder.
“Chill girl it’s me.” Nailea laughed, sitting on the sun lounger next to you. You turned the music down ever so slightly.
“You just scared the life out of me.” You groaned, lifting up your sunglasses so you could see better. Looking past her, you noticed everyone was coming towards the pool in their bathing suits.
“So much for alone time.” You thought to yourself, knowing Thomas definitely told them all it was a pool day, so his sister didn’t have to feel like she was by herself.
“But I don’t really care how bad it hurts! When you broke me first.” Michael shouted the lyrics loudly and you groaned.
“No wander you don’t have the blue tick on any other platform Michael!” You joked and he put his hand to his heart.
“You’ve broken my heart.” You playfully rolled your eyes and went back to sunbathing.
“Have you cooled down from your dispute with Vinnie this morning?” Mia asked, sitting on the other spare sun lounger next to you.
“I guess.” You sighed awkwardly. Looking over at him, he was staring straight back at you, until he noticed he’d been caught.
“You’re allowed to be upset about it Y/N. It’s only been a fucking month.” She continued but you were zoning out. Taking in Vinnie’s features - for the first time in a long time, you’d noticed how different he looked. He looked like he hadn’t slept in years and sadness covered his eyes.
“The two of you often bottle your feelings but now you’re taking a good look at him, you notice a difference right? You haven’t spoken properly since the breakup.” Why was Mia so right?
“You’re right but I’m not really in the mood for that conversation. I don’t know how it would turn out.” You admitted to her.
“Y/N you’re an over thinker and you fear the unknown! I get it, I really do and as your sister in law, I’m telling you to do what you know is right.” Mia pushed it but all she was doing was telling the truth.
“Oh Y/N dear, wouldn’t it be nice if we just ruined tanning time with your best friends?” Your brother came over with his vlog camera. That’s when you noticed Michael with a huge bucket of water from the pool.
“I will file a law suit and get a restraining order you fucking-” To busy ranting, it was too late. Michael had soaked you from head to toe with ice cold water.
“Oh it’s on!” You shouted. Grabbing the giraffe inflatable from the pool, you hit Michael as hard as you could many times.
“Y/N stop!” He declared making everybody laugh.
“One more thing.” You turned around pretending you were looking for something and when he least expected it, you launched him in the pool.
“Don’t punch if you can’t fight.” You reminded him with a laugh. You’d taken the decision to go and dry yourself off. Taking a good look in the mirror, the difference in you was just as prominent as it was with Vinnie. The bags under the eyes and a drained looking face.
“What the fuck even are you Y/N?” You questioned out loud, wiping away mascara that had melted underneath your eyes. A cough from the door-frame removed you from your thoughts and looking through the mirror, you could see it was Vinnie.
“Can I help you?” You raised an eyebrow at him.
“Cut the act Y/N.” He sighed and you rolled your eyes at him.
“There’s no act Vincent. What do you want?” You asked.
“This is the only way I’m going to have a private conversation with you so please can we talk?”
“It depends, am I gonna get accused? Am I gonna have sarcastic replies from you?” Now it was his turn to roll his eyes.
“Stop being so fucking stubborn.” He muttered and you bit your tongue. Sitting on the countertop of the bathroom, you waited for him to start talking.
“Vinnie why did you break up with me?” You broke the silence. He could’ve sworn his heart broke all over again, even if he was the one who called it quits.
“Y/N I never gave you a valid explanation. I’m not good with emotional shit, I couldn’t tell you at the time. My head and my heart told me different things. Shit Y/N, you’re being offered tours and fucking Costa Rica round trips, how could I ever come between you and your career?” You stayed silent, suddenly feeling tears well up in your eyes but you tried not to let it show.
“You dreamed of being in the limelight, being able to afford things that you wanted. You got there Y/N, baby you fucking worked your ass off and proved everyone wrong.” Vinnie couldn’t cry, not in front of you.
“I wouldn’t have wanted you to have the pressure of me. The times you used to call me crying because you had to cancel dates, that’s not fair on either of us.” He continued.
“This blame isn’t on you Y/N, I will never blame you for living the dream. Yeah, my communication was very off and I’ve regretted that every single day for the past month. I broke you but we were slowly breaking each-other.” By now he was stood in front of you and you couldn’t look him in the eye.
“My career means jackshit if I have you.” You whispered.
“I appreciate the support Vinnie but where were you huh? You left me. I fucking love you and you just left. I had no explanation just that you didn’t want me anymore. All of your shitty remarks in front of our friends-” He cut you off.
“They were asshole moves. I shouldn’t have done it. It’s probably a cliché that I’m apologising for it after doing it a few hours ago, but I’m so sorry. I tried pushing you away, just so I could try not to feel this way anymore.” He had his hands on your shoulders.
“But believe me baby, pushing you away only made me love you more.” He whispered, and out came your waterworks.
“No, no, no. Hey, don’t cry, come on Y/N, you’re to pretty to cry over an ass like me.” Vinnie padded away your tears with his thumbs.
“My love for you was never going to end, no matter how much you made me cry.” You mumbled, still not being able to look at him.
“Y/N, please look at me.” He grabbed your chin gently and turned your face to his.
“Dude you’ve gotta check this out-” Michael barged through your bathroom and his eyes widened at the sight of him.
“Fuck I’m sorry.” He scratched his head awkwardly before quickly leaving. You let out a sigh and moved Vinnie’s hands away from you.
“I don’t want this-” You began and he immediately cut you off.
“Please don’t say this, I just, Y/N. What? You don’t want this? Don’t give up on us.” Vinnie ranted, tears forming in the circles of his eyes.
“Vincent listen to me.” You demanded, shutting him up.
“If you let me finish I would’ve said I don’t want this to be a repetitive thing where shit happens in our lives and one of us decided to call it quits. We need to be in this together.” You told him.
“Baby, one small crack in our relationship doesn’t mean we’re broken. It means we were put to the test and we didn’t fall apart.”
