First off, I just want to apologize about a small thing. I promised that I would dedicate this prologue to the reviewer that guessed which Green Day song I got the title from, and one totally guessed the right song on the first try. The stupid part is, I forgot who it was. I just spent the last like twenty minutes searching through my inbox and I couldn't find out who it was. If it was you, could you please tell me so that I can dedicate the next chapter to you?

So this is the prologue. A little taste of the new story. I'll just stop talking now and let you read! Rage and love!

I looked out at the deserted scenery. Not that I could really call it that. But it was something to look at. I guess... The rain crashed down hard against the windshield, causing my eyes to slip down with the drops sliding along the glass. I loved the rain. And right now, it had a totally different meaning.

Because nothing could compare to Shane, whom was on his cell phone at the moment, speaking softly as if I were asleep.

We had been driving for days now. I had no clue as to where we were, only that we were somewhere in West Virginia by now.

You know that you are in love when you'd do anything for that one person. When you would leave behind your entire life for that one person.

And when they'd do the same.

So here we were. Just me and Shane. Shane and I. On a deserted high way in West Virginia, listening to an old country station. I smiled softly over at the radio, remembering the conversation Shane and I had about the radio station. Who knew that Shane Gray would love country? He told me that it helped settle the mood for our road trip. I just laughed and said OK.

I escaped my thoughts momentarily as I heard him snap his cell phone shut gently before shoving it in his shirt pocket.

"How much do they know?" I asked, biting my lip slightly as we drove down the practically deserted highway. He sighed and, from what I could see, tightened his grip on the steering wheel after hanging up his phone. The rain crashed down hard against the windshield.

There was absolutely no doubt in my mind about the decision I made to leave.

Just like he had first requested, (And I seconded) we ran away. And to be totally and utterly honest, I couldn't be happier. As a small add-on to that thought, I felt his hand reach over and grab mine, sqeezing it softly. He had a grimace played out on his beautiful lips. "They know that we are safe. They know that we are happy...they know that I sold our houses...They have no idea where we are." he said quietly and guiltily.

Since we left, we agreed on something.

We don't give anyone any details. We leave. No one kows where we are. Ever. We were happier this way.

We did, although, make a small exception. Nate and Jason. We told them before hand, via cell phone, that we were leaving. Shane had told Nate where I left his car. At the moment, they just knew that we were gone. Not where. Just why.

Because we couldn't handle the drama. It was tearing us apart and we both knew it.

Ending that thought immediately, a song came on the radio station that I actually knew. As if I was actually going to let Shane know. I turned my head towards the window as "Loving you against my will." by Gary Alan came on. I mouthed the words discreetly until I hear a voice in the back ground that sounded so melodic, so peaceful. So...Shane?

I turned towards him to see him singing softly. He smiled over at me, grabbing my hand. I blushed slightly when he actually started singing to me. I felt goosebumps raise on my arms as he got closer to the end of the song.

Well your love is like a deep dark river

Pullin' me out to sea

The harder I try to resist you

The weaker I seem to be

I don't wanna feel your heartbeat

I don't wanna taste your kiss

I don't wanna call your name, I don't wanna call your name

I don't wanna want you like this

Girl, I'm lovin' you, lovin' you against my will

Lovin' you, lovin' you against my will

I bit my lip slightly, unaware of the reason why Shane hissed silently to himself. I narrowed my eyes a little before he looked over at me again, glancing between the road and me. "God when you look at me like that..." he trailed off huskily. I narrowed my eyes again. I wasn't sure what emotion was on my face. I am pretty sure that I was in awe. "Sorry...?" I mumbled. He laughed, making me shiver, and tightened his grip on my hand. "I'm loving you against my will." he murmured, making me smile. "You don't have to love me." I reminded him. He shook his head, smiling as he shut off the radio. "I do." he said in a simple whisper. "Remember what I told you?" he asked. I went into thought before shaking my head. He smiled. "Think hard. We were in my hotel room. After great sex..." he hinted, teasing around. I blushed anyway, remembering now. It was the day that Nate stepped on my last nerve. The day he decided to use the fact that I can't have a kid against me. And of course, Shane was there for me.

She sighed a little and kissed his chest gently. "Shane," she whispered. "You don't have to love me." was all she said. She turned her head and looked at him when there was no response, only to find that he was asleep. She smiled sadly and kissed his cheek before resting the back of her head back against his chest.

Moments later, she felt Shane kiss the top of her head. "Well, you are wrong there." he murmured, causing her to jump. She looked at him a little. "Mitchie, I do have to love you. You are the first person to show me what love actually was. You are the one and only person I have ever loved. I am never going to stop loving you. Do you understand me?" he ranted quietly. She took a deep breath and nodded. "I love you." he murmured again. He sounded a little argumentative. She smiled a little. "I love you too." she turned her head and kissed him softly.

It was silent for a while besides the strange stalling noises coming from Shane's car. It had been acting strange for the past half hour now. I could tell that he was becoming fed up with it by the frustrated sigh that suddenly abrupted from his mouth. I glanced over at him only to see his eyes dancing between me, the road, and the gas meter. I narrowed my eyes and looked over at the gas levels as well. My eyes widened when I noticed how close we were to being out of gas. I tried my hardest to keep calm. "Shane..." I mumbled as the bar got closer and closer to the E. The car started to slow down. I noticed his jaw tighten as he rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He slowly pulled the car over on the side of the high way, slamming his fist down against the steering wheel once we stopped. I bit my lip slightly.

"You didn't fill the car up with gas at our last stop..." I stated. It was more of a comment rather than a question. He sighed and looked over at me. "I sort of forgot.." he mumbled sheepishly. I tried my hardest to keep my cool. "How?" I asked through clenched teeth, taking a deep breath. He rested his head against the steering wheel. "I'm just so tired Mitch." he said quietly.

Regular POV

Mitchie felt her anger instantly turn into guilt. She hated how Shane could change her emotions so quickly. "I'm sorry Shane." she sighed, running her fingers through his hair gently. He lifted his head, getting goosebumps from her touch. He narrowed his eyes. "You? Why are you sorry? I'm the reason why we are stuck on the side of this-this unknown high way for Christ's sake." he scoffed. "And you're saying sorry." he shook his head, debating on whether to slam it against the steering wheel again or not.

"Shane." she reasoned, touching his cheek to make him look at her. She studied the bags under his eyes. "You haven't slept in days." she reminded him. He took a deep breath, yanking the keys out of the ignition. Mitchie sighed too. "I'm sorry." they both muttered at the same time. They both shook their heads before cracking small smiles.

After moments of silence, Mitchie grimaced. "What do we do now?" she asked. Shane sighed and shoved the keys in his pants pockets. "We walk." he muttered simply, unlocking and opening his car door before stepping out. Mitchie narrowed her eyes. "It is pouring out there!" she yelled as he shut the door and opened up the back one to grab his jacket. He swiftly put the jacket on and opened up the drivers door again, looking at her. "Or I can just go alone and come back for you." he shrugged. She narrowed her eyes even further. "Shane. Think. There probably isn't another town or anything for miles!" she tried to reason. He shrugged. "So you are staying?" he asked stupidly. When he didn't recieve an answer, he shrugged and shut the car door, starting to walk.

Before thirty seconds passed, Mitchie was out the door yelling his name. "Shane! Wait!" she called exasperatedly. Shane chuckled breathlessly and hit the button on his keys that locked the car just as Mitchie got up to him. "Miss me already?" he teased, blinking rapidly out of irritation from the rain. Mitchie sighed and shook her hair out of her face. "No." she mumbled in a small lie. "I just don't want you to go out alone and hurt yourself." Shane just smiled and grabbed her hand, twining his fingers with hers. He leaned his head down towards her ear and whispered, "I love you." quietly. She felt herself shudder.

And they continued to walk.
