Gah! That's another thing!

She will likely get her way and not receive any punishment or deal with any ramifications, simply because she's the "protagonist" of the story.

Let's think back to our childhood for a moment. Perhaps there was a TV show called Caillou. The titular character, Caillou, is a little boy who is learning about the world around him, but whenever he doesn't get what he wants, he throws a tantrum. The worst part? His parents CAVE to it and don't think to punish him.

The Caillou-Effect is what's happening in this story. MC has Nick under her spell; she has him convinced that she's going to hold up her end of the deal when in reality she's got him under her precious little thumb. When Nick has to leave, "DOESN'T THIS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?!" She throws a hissy fit. Luckily, Nick didn't cave to it.

...This time.
