"Oh no!" Mitchie said as she sat next to Shane on the couch in the Gray's Dallas home.
"How the hell did they find us?" Shane exclaimed as Mitchie grabbed his hand and placed it on her knee in an attempt to calm him down.
"They're paparazzi Shane, their like leeches and pop out of nowhere." Nate said as he placed a hand on Shane's shoulder.
"Besides Shane the truth would have come out eventually and apparently that time is now." Shane's mom, Denise said as she approached the couple and took a seat on Shane's other side.
Shane sighed as looked around the room and finally setting his eyes on Mitchie as she gave him a reassuring smile. He untangled his hand from hers and wrapped it around her shoulders pulling her closer to him and placed a loving kiss to her head before turning his attention to the others in the room, (consisting of Nate, Jason, Denise & Andrew Gray, Brown and Jeff Bridges, their manager. Nicola and Frankie were at school.)
"So what happens now?" Shane asked.
"Well I think the best thing for us to do is set up an interview for all four of you to confirm the relationship and have you two keep out of sight until the interview." Jeff who had remained silent said.
"Apart from that we stick to the schedule, you guys have a day off today and then tomorrow you do the concert and head to Austin for the next show." He concluded.
Jason who up until now had been locked away in his own little world spoke up and said "Umm if Shane and Mitchie have to stay out of sight what'll we do, cause, no offence Mrs Gray but I'd like to do something today"
"Well I was planning on going home today and I'd like to stay in my own bed for the night so we could go there. Plus we live in a secluded area so we can still find something to do." Mitchie said.
"Alright then, you guys go on to Mitchie's parents for the night and I'll call you guys to tell you when the interview is." Jeff said as he left the room to make a phone call.
As soon as he left Nate got up and said to Mitchie "Well what are we waiting for, let's go, I'm dying to have one of your moms homemade cupcakes."
Mitchie laughed at this and started to get up until she heard Brown finally speak up.
"Wait a minute, before you guys go don't you think we should know what you guys did yesterday so that there are no surprises in the interview" He said in his British accent.
"Why?" Shane said clearly confused.
"Well just in case they found some new information to use in the interview" Denise said on his behalf as a smirk appeared on her fact.
"Or maybe, just maybe you guys are being your nosy selves and want to pry into our relationship" Shane replied accusingly.
Brown and Denise shared a look of mock horror whilst Andrew who hadn't said a word the whole time and Nate stifled a laugh.
Jason turned to Mitchie and Shane with a look of excitement. "GUYS tell us!" he whined as everyone laughed at his childish manner.
"Urgh really Jason, really?" Shane said.
"Pretty, pretty pleeeease" He begged as gave Mitchie his best puppy dog face.
Mitchie, who couldn't refuse his puppy dog look turned to Shane and said "C'mon Shane, I mean they'll eventually find out and besides they've already seen the photos. What harm could it do?"
Shane looked at Mitchie and sighed. "Fine we'll tell you but this is the last time we do this ok." He said.
Jason squealed once he said that and ran over to engulf both of them into a bone crushing group hug.
"Jason get off!" Shane said.
Jason let both of them got and sat cross-legged on the floor like a child waiting to hear a story. Shane wondered how Jason was the eldest of the three considering he acted like a five year old most of the time.
Nate had sat back down on his chair as the others were eagerly waiting to hear about their date.
Shane sighed once again as he sank back down into the couch as Mitchie curled up to his side. He smiled and placed another kiss to her head and began to tell them what happened.
"Alright so like you guys know already we had a day off. Mitchie and I hadn't had any alone time in a while so we thought we'd use the day for us to be alone...
Flashback
It was 8.30am and Mitchie was currently sat on the couch located on the tour bus. They were half way through the tour and on their way to Dallas.
Mitchie was extremely excited yet nervous to be playing in Dallas. Excited because she was home and got to play for her home town and got to see her family again. Nervous because it was her home town and people that use to go to school with her would be there, people that made fun of her and constantly made her feel like nothing.
With that thought in mind she suddenly found herself inspired to write a song. She went back to her room making sure she was quiet so she wouldn't wake up Shane, grabbed her guitar and strummed lightly.
"Do you have to make me feel like, there's nothing left of me." She whispered and wrote the line down.
Just as she was about to continue she heard a noise come from the bedroom. She lifted her head and smiled when she saw Shane leaning against the wall. His hair was a mess but he had changed into a pair of old jeans, a black shirt covered by a dark green shirt.
"New song?" He asked as he made his way over to where Mitchie sat and slung his arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah!" she replied and leaned into his touch. "If I finish it do you think we could add it to my set list?" She asked.
"Of course we could. And if they don't let you well I'll just throw one of my famous I'm Shane Gray tantrums." He joked.
"But seriously why do you wanna play this song in particular?" He asked as he curiously read the lyrics she had down.
She sighed as she laced her hand with the one Shane had over her shoulder and kissed it softly.
"Because I know a lot of my former classmates are gonna be at the concert and I want to show them that I was able to overcome what they did to me and rise above it like a skyscraper" She explained.
"Then you're definitely gonna play that song." Shane said as he placed the notebook down on the table and pulled her onto his lap.
He sighed "I hate them for what they did to you. No one should have to go through what you did." He kissed her shoulder as she leaned her head on his chest.
"I'm so proud of you, you know that right? The fact that you've taken something horrible into something good is so inspiring. The fact that you've used your own personal experiences to help others that are being bullied is just another reason why I love you." He said as he gazed lovingly into her eyes.
She smiled; touched by his words she felt overwhelmed with emotion and kissed him with so much passion. He eagerly returned the kiss but just as Shane was about to deepen the kiss they heard a cough coming from behind them.
Breaking away they turned and saw Nate and Jason standing in the doorway smirks plastered on both of their faces.
Mitchie blushed and hid her face in the nape of Shane's neck as Shane averted his eyes.
Nate was about to say something but the bus had stopped and Jeff had made his way onto the bus saying "We're here guys and I have good news, you have two days off here before the concert. And if I remember correctly you guys said you would be staying with Shane's parents."
"That's right." Shane said
"Alright then, there's nothing left for me to say so enjoy your days off" Jeff replied and left the bus.
Jason and Nate followed him off the bus and Mitchie was about to follow when Shane grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. "What do you say we use this day to get some much needed alone time" He whispered into her ear and kissed it playfully.
"That sounds perfect" She replied, grabbed his hand and dragged him off the bus.
They met Nate and Jason and told them their plan and they were fine with it. They even said they would take their bags to the Gray's understanding their need for some alone time.
Shane made sure to grab a pair of sunglasses for both of them and proceeded to drag Mitchie off to nowhere in particular. They walked hand in hand in silence until a loud grumbling noise was heard. Mitchie looked at Shane and laughed before saying. "Hungry much?"
He laughed. "Yeah, let's go eat" He replied and they set off to a local cafe. No one was around so they ate together peacefully, thankful of being able to enjoy this moment of peace.
It was around 10.30am when they finished and Shane dragged Mitchie to the park. Mitchie was laughing the entire time.
"Shane, why are we going to the park?" Mitchie questioned holding back a chuckle as his eyes lit up once he saw the entrance to the park.
"Because, it's empty and I haven't been to one since I was a kid." He replied and pulled her in to his side wrapping an arm around her shoulder as her arm slipped around his waist. She turned to look at him and saw that he had a playful smile on his lips. She laughed once again but he silenced her with a kiss, unaware of the stranger that kept himself and his camera hidden.
After a minute or so they pulled away. She smiled and ran ahead heading for the swing set. Shane followed her laughing lightly as he went to stand behind her and pushed her swing lightly.
They stayed at the park for several hours until more people started to show and they decided to head to the local theatre and watch a movie. When they got to the theatre they decided to go watch the new Smurfs movie.
Their arms were wrapped around each other the whole time and the often shared kisses completely oblivious to the people around them.
Once the movie finished both Mitchie and Shane decided it was best for them to head back to the Grays.
"...and that's what happened." Shane concluded but before anyone could say anything Shane got up and said "Right now that you heard the story lets go." He offered a hand to Mitchie and went to get their stuff. "See you at the concert tomorrow mom, dad, Uncle Brown." He yelled as he grabbed both his and Mitchie's bag and made his way back downstairs.
The others were laughing at his antics as Nate and Jason went to get their own belongings.
5 minutes later all four of them were in the car waving to Shane's parents and Brown as they made their way to Mitchie's hometown. It was an hour and a half's drive and all four of them chatted happily and sang along to whatever song was on the radio (even their own songs.)
Eventually they pulled up outside of Mitchie's home and Mitchie immediately ran out of the car and into her home. The guys laughed and followed her in.
As soon as they walked through the door they were immediately hit by the alluring smell of Connie's cooking.
They went to the kitchen and smiled as they saw Mitchie and her mother locked in a tight embrace. They overheard them whisper "I've missed you" to each other before pulling away.
Connie turned her attention the three men standing in the kitchen entrance. She went over to them and gave each of them a hug, lingering a while longer on Shane as she whispered "Thank you for taking care of my little girl."
She pulled back and smiled at him. "Always" he replied simply as he made his way over to where Mitchie was sat by the counter eating one of the cupcakes Connie had already prepared for them.
Connie watched in amazement at the amount of food the four of them ate but smiled at the happiness shown on her daughter face as Shane kissed the icing he had smeared onto her face moments before. She honestly could not imagine anyone more perfect for her than Shane as her mother's intuition grew stronger and she realised that Shane was indeed the one for her daughter.
Connie was broken out of her thoughts when she heard Mitchie ask "Where's dad?"
"Paul called in sick today so he has to work but he'll be closing up soon so he'll be back soon." Connie replied as she picked up one of her own cupcakes.
Soon enough the whole plate of food was devoured and the teens separated. Nate and Jason went out to the garden. Jason wanted to do some bird watching whereas Nate was glued to his phone texting Marissa, despite the fact they weren't dating everyone knows that they're crushing on each other.
Shane and Mitchie had retreated to her bedroom. As soon as Mitchie walked into her bedroom she flung herself onto her bed.
Shane laughed at her and stood at the edge of the bed admiring Mitchie's beauty until he felt her grab his hand and pull him down onto her bed. Not wasting any time Shane immediately grabbed Mitchie and tickled her senselessly. Laughter came from both of them until their sides were aching.
Releasing her from his grip she moved herself so she was lying on her back, her head resting against her pillow. Shane moved so that he was lying next to her as he wrapped an arm around her waist so he was as close to her as possible.
A peaceful silence fell over the twosome as they relished the feeling of being together in peace.
The silence however was broken when they heard Shane's ringtone go off.
Shane groaned as he reached into his pocket and answered the call.
"Hello." He said.
"Hey Shane, its Jeff. I've set up an interview for you guys to do tomorrow morning on Good morning Texas. I know you're staying at Mitchie's tonight so I need you guys to be at the studio by 8am. I'll text Nate with the details." Jeff said.
"Okay, thanks for telling us man. See you tomorrow." Shane replied
"Try not to be late." He joked and hung up.
Shane sighed and placed the phone on Mitchie's nightstand.
"So when's the interview?" Mitchie asked snuggling into Shane's side.
"Tomorrow morning, we're on Good Morning Texas we need to be there at 8" He replied and kissed her head.
She simply sighed and stayed silent. Shane knew this was because she was nervous about the interview.
Kissing her head again he said "Don't worry; I'll be with you the whole time."
She smiled and absentmindedly started playing with his purity ring. "I know. I'm just nervous about the aftermath. Everyone'll know about us and the paparazzi will be stalking our every move even more than usual." She said with another sigh.
Shane interlaced their hand. "I know that things will be different after tomorrow but we knew this would happen and we'll get through this as long as we're together." He replied.
She smiled and kissed his ring with meaning. Another silence fell upon them until Shane asked "Have you finished the song yet?"
"I finished it last night; I'll play it for you later if you want." She replied.
"You better." He threatened teasingly.
Mitchie laughed before she felt herself get tired, it seemed as if the loss of sleep she had on tour had finally caught up with her. Noticing this Shane whispered into her ear "Got to sleep baby, I'll be right here when you wake up."
Having heard that she let sleep take over her body. Shane stroked her hair soothingly and suddenly felt his eyes droop and joined Mitchie in a peaceful slumber.
That's where Connie, Steve, Nate and Jason found them an hour later, curled up next to each other with smiles on their lips. Deciding not to disturb them they let the couple sleep knowing that things will change tomorrow.
