A/N: I'm so, so, so, so, so, so sorry it took so long, but school's been crazy. So that also means chapters probably will be spaced out, especially since I'm writing this and Everything Changes at the same time.

Mitchie's P.O.V.

Brrrrrriiiiiiing

Finally, the last day of school was over! Summer's here! I thought while walking out of my Chemistry class. I walked over to my locker and met up with Caitlyn, my best friend.

"Anything special going on this summer?" she asked.

"Nope, just the usual, doing every little thing TJ and Tess tell me to do. You?"

"Well, for his 19th birthday Shane Gray's having a big party. He's inviting everyone from 15-20 to it. Are you coming?"

"Please, do you really think Tess would let me go?"

"Sorry, you're right, stupid question." We walked outside to see Caitlyn's mom waiting for her. "You want a ride?"

"No, I'll be ok."

"Well, I guess I'll see you later" She said walking towards the car.

"Bye." I watched them drive away only to see a teal convertible pull up. It was Tess and her lackeys, Peggy and Ella.

"Hey, dork," I rolled my eyes, "You better get home before mom or she's going to get really mad."

My eyes got wide, oh no TJ got home early today and for some reason I had to be home when she got home. I looked down at my watch to see that I had ten minutes until she got home, but it took me twenty to walk home. Oh crap. I looked up to see Tess and gooneys laughing their evil laughs while driving away. I guess I'm taking the short cut home.

I ran behind the school and ran jumped over a fence into someone's yard. I kept doing this for about eight minutes until I made it to our street. Thank you Lord my house was right in front of me, the only thing was I didn't know if TJ was home because the garage door was closed. I ran inside only to hear screaming as soon as I stepped through the door.

"Mitchie, where the hell have you been?!"

Oh, great, I probably won't be able to see the outside world until school starts again. I walked into the kitchen to see TJ, arms crossed, with Tess, Peggy, and Ella behind her, smirking.

"Um, walking home since somebody doesn't give me a ride home." I said glaring at Tess

"Don't bring her into this Mitchie. Now, for your punishment. You will scrub the kitchen until the stainless steal shines like the sun and you are not aloud out of this house, unless I say so, got it?" Ha, told ya. I thought while nodding my head. "Good, we're going out and when I come back I better need sunglasses in here." She said while following Tess out the door. When I heard the car engine start and the garage door close I walked over to broom closet and got the mop and pail.

You know, my life hasn't always been like this! I used to feel loved by Tess and TJ. You see TJ adopted me when I was a toddler and Tess and I were like blood sisters. Peggy, Ella and I were friends, too. Actually, Peggy, Ella, Caitlyn, Tess, and I were really good friends, like sisters. But on my thirteenth birthday that all ended. TJ told me how she only adopted me so I could do chores that Tess should have to do, Tess, Peggy, and Ella became my enemies, and Caitlyn became my only friend. Sigh Life sucks.

Shane's P.O.V.

"Get the hell out Shelly!" I said opening the door.

"But Shaney!" she whined.

"Don't call me that!"

"Fine, you're not that cute anyway!" She stomped out of the house like a five year old. I slammed the door shut and sat down on the couch, putting my head in my hands. Shelly had been my girlfriend for about eight months now and I just found out she had been cheating on me with not one, but two guys and that she was only dating me for the money and fame. Ha, and I thought she was the one.

"Hey Shane, how'd the break up go?" I heard Nate ask while he and Jason sat next to me, one on each side. I only grunted in response.

"Well guess what? We have something to cheer you up!" Jason said in his cheery voice.

I looked up at them with a straight face. "Yeah?"

"We decided to throw you a surprise party!" Jason yelled throwing hi hands in the air.

"Jason!" Nate yelled at him. I laughed at the two of them.

"Oh, sorry, I guess I forgot about the surprise part. But, guess what else! It has a theme!"

"A theme?"

"Yeah, we thought it would be cool to do a masquerade ball or something like that." Nate said.

"Aw, come on guys, I'm turning 19, not 6."

"Shane, you're acting like we're throwing you a barney birthday party." Nate said.

"Can't we do this Shane?" Jason looked at me with his puppy dog eyes, "Please, please, please, please…" I knew it was either give in or he wouldn't shut up.

"Fine." I sighed looking at Jason's huge grin.

"Thank you, Shane! You won't regret it, I promise! Come on Nate lets go make plans!" Jason jumped up and dragged Nate upstairs.
