August 15, 2002

Mitchie:

I opened my eyes very slowly. I was trying to remember why I was so excited last night. What was the big deal? I couldn't find out.

I groaned and sat up. I looked at my calender and saw a big red circle on one of the squares. I tried to make it out but I couldn't. Everything was blurry. Then I realized. "It's Shanes BIRTHDAY!!!" I got up, changed and ran out of my room.

I ran to my school. For a 10 year old I ran fast but I knew I could run faster. I ran as fast as I could. "SHANNEE!" I ran to the 15-year-old boy with the shaggy brown hair who I had a crush on. "Happy birthday." I smiled so wide that my cheekbones started to hurt.

"Thanks, baby girl." He gently pinched my chin. I smiled wider at his touch. I know it was weird. A 10-year-old in love with a 15-year-old guy. Our love can never happen. But I can dream can't I?

He picked me up and spun me around. I laughed and he laughed. I love him, thats what I remember.

July 14 , 2009

I sat down on the counter as I watched people cleaning up. I worked at McDonalds. I worked here since I was 17. It started off as a summer job. But as I got promoted, I just couldn't stay away.

I turned on my cell-phone and saw the picture of Shane as my wallpaper. It was the last picture that I took of him before he left. He still had shaggy brown hair. And his brown eyes sparkled.

4 years ago, Shane left. He left to go College. I remember what he wanted to be. A musician. I wonder if he's a musician now. I still loved him. I never dated anyone ever since he left. In fact , I never dated or loved anyone else ever since I met Shane. Everyone says "Mitchie you're so stupid." or "Move on. You got NO chance." But I didn't listen. Well, I tried to but I couldn't stop loving him. Maybe its because he told me to wait for him.

Flashback

"I don't want you to leave Shane." I said while tears were streaming down my face.

"Don't worry." He smiled. "I'll come back. Just as long as you wait for me."

"I promise." I smiled. He always made me smile. "I'll wait for you."

End of Flashback

As I snapped out of my thoughts about Shane, I saw all my co-workers staring at me weirdly. I never noticed that I was smiling to myself like an idiot.

"Hey." I turned as I heard that voice. I saw my best friend, Alex, and her boyfriend, Nate, staring at me weirdly.

"Hey? How long have you guys been here?" I wondered.

"About 10 minutes. We came in and saw you tuned out so we decided to wait." How long have I been thinking about Shane?

"Okay." I jumped off the counter. "Let's go." I took my JanSport © backpack and walked behind them to their car.

"Mitch. You've been thinking about Shane a lot these days." Alex said to me as we were driving home.

"How'd you know I was thinking about Shane?" Is it that obvious?

"You do your 'Shane-Face' " I have a 'Shane-Face'? "When are you going to let go?"

"Never." I said firmly. "He told me to wait. So, I'm waiting."

"But how long are you going to wait for?" Alex sounded worried. She was always worried about me. She's like my mother. "Who knows? You might wait weeks, months, YEARS! Just for one guy."

"He's going to come, soon." I looked out the window. "I know it."

"I hope you're sure." Alex looked at me. I saw fear in her eyes. Fear. Fear for me. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

"I'm not going to get hurt." I sounded like I was sure. But I knew that I wasn't sure. "Trust me."

Shane:

"Babe!" I put my hands on my beautiful girlfriend, Tess. I felt woozy. I wasn't even sure if it was Tess.

"Shane?" I frowned as she pushed me a way furiously. "Are you 'high'?"

I laughed. Of course I wasn't 'high'. "I'm not 'high'."

"You're right." She picked up my cocaine bag. "You're beyond 'high'." She set me on my bed.

I chuckled as I pulled her on top of me. "Come on babe, let's have fun tonight."

"No." She said firmly. She stood up. "This is why I broke up with you."

"I love you, Tess." I slurred.

"I loved you, Shane." She look worried. "LOVED. Notice the past-tense. You have to fix yourself. Then we'll talk." She walked out.

She left me there. 'High'. Speechless. Lonely. With no one to turn to. But I knew she was right. I NEED to fix myself. Starting NOW. I stood up but fell back down. Maybe, I'll start tomorrow.

"Ugh." I woke up the next day with a huge headache.

"Got 'high' again Shane?" I saw my Uncle Brown sitting on my couch. At least I think it was him.

"Uncle Brown?" I rubbed my eyes and I finally saw him.

"Shane. You have got to stop this." He stood up. "I'm worried about you."

"Don't tell me when to stop." I shook my head. "You don't own me."

"I am you're legal guardian now." I hate how he always said that.

"But you're not my dad or my mom." I snapped at him. "Who called you anyways?"

"Tess. She's worried about you." I knew it! "We're all worried about you."

I went to the refrigerator and got some orange juice.

"What happened to the old Shane?" He walked to me.

"He grew up." I sighed. I knew that wasn't the reason.

"That's not why. I know that Shane is still in there. Hiding." He poked my chest.

I fell onto the couched and turned on the t.v. "Something's just missing from my life. There's a missing piece. And I can't find it."

"How can there be a missing piece?" He asked me. "You have everything! You're parents gave you everything!"

"I know!"

"Then .. Is it Tess?"

"No. It can't be. I started to get these feelings before I met her."

"Well. I hope you figure that out." He walks out.
