"Save it for your interview with Pop Informer Magazine. I know I gave you an earful." Shane scoffed at Mitchie and just walked away.

Mitchie was about to burst into tears when Caitlyn dragged her away from the crowd, "Not here you don't."

"I didn't mean to!" Mitchie bellowed as her mom glared at her angrily. Connie was more than pissed at Mitchie for the lie. She was disappointed. Her yells only increased with every tear that fell from Mitchie's eyes.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT MEAN TO?! OBVIOUSLY YOU DID! AND IF YOU'RE SO ASHAMED OF ME BEING YOUR MOTHER, THAN YOU ARE NO LONGER CONSIDERED APART OF THE FAMILY!" This caused more tears to fall from Mitchie's eyes. How could she kick her out of the family? Can't take anymore, Mitchie darted from the cabin, leaving a fuming, yet guilty mother behind.

She ran and ran as fast as she could, and before she knew it, she was at the dock, facing the lake. Falling to her knees, Mitchie sobbed quietly, curling up into a ball and weeping on her knees. No one understood her. The only one who did was Caitlyn, who she really needed right now. But, Mitchie couldn't connect her brain and her heart. It was like both of them wanted her to just cry. What Mitchie didn't know was, walking to the dock, was Shane Gray himself.

(Shane's P.O.V.)

How could she lie to me like that? I trusted her and I find out she was lying to me! What the fuck is up with that? Can't a guy have a REAL friend?

My thoughts were cut off when I heard faint sobs coming from the dock. Curiosity taking over my mind, I decided to investigate. Walking closer, I saw someone curled up in a ball, weeping their eyes out. Walking closer, I was about four feet away from them when I realized it. It was Mitchie!

(Normal P.O.V.)

To say that Shane was surprised would be an understatement, but his anger that formed before had quickly dissolved as Mitchie took in his presence. She slowly unfolded her self and stared up at the person who caused her this pain. Shocked, she quickly jumped to her feet and tried to make a run for it, but Shane was much faster.

"Oh, no you don't," he rushed over to her weak body and wrapped his arms around her waist. Mitchie struggled as hard as she could, kicking and fighting roughly, but in the end, Shane had pinned Mitchie to the ground, staring at her intently. She was sobbing louder and moving underneath him.

"Let go of me!" She hollered as she thrashed about, but Shane did no such thing, he only yelled.

"No! YOU'LL LISTEN TO ME!" Mitchie moved violently under him, bellowing in his face.

"I HATE YOU!" Those words broke Shane's heart, but he didn't give up. He gripped at her pinned down form tighter, screaming at her what he felt.

"Well, I'm sorry!" Mitchie suddenly stopped thrashing, taking in what he just said.

"What?" Shane sighed and whispered in a soothing voice.

"I'm sorry. Please stop crying." Mitchie pulled her arms out of his grip, wrapping them tightly around his waist whispering in his ear.

"Don't apologize. It's my fault." Shane returned the gesture, questioning her about her lie.

"Why did you do it?" Mitchie froze under him, but she explained anyway.

"I wanted a friend. I wanted to be popular. You don't know what it's like to be so alone and have few friends that your parents worry that there's something wrong with you. And now I don't even have any parents." Shane was shocked to say the least, but he was also confused.

"What do you mean you don't have any parents?" Mitchie began crying at the memory.

"My mom kicked me out of the family." Shane hugged her tighter as she cried on his shoulder. Kissing the top of her head, she picked her up bridal style, carrying her to his cabin.

Once there, he laid Mitchie on his bed and scooted in beside. Holding her close, Shane whispered lovingly in her ear,

"I'll never leave you Mitchie." And together, they fell asleep, smiles on both of their faces. Shane's smile was for being the shoulder to cry on and Mitchie's was having a shoulder to cry on.

And sometimes, you just need a shoulder to cry on.
