Please read the note at the end. :]
Just as Caitlyn said, she came by Mitchie's house to pick her up for school. And, she also rang Shane, just like she said. Mitchie was nervously digging at her nails, waiting for Caitlyn to answer the many questions which had her distracted for the past hour or so. The pair were currently sitting in the McDonalds' drive-thru.
As they pulled up to the speaker box, Mitchie grew impatient. I just wanted to know what was wrong, she thought to herself. Was he mad? Maybe he has just been busy. She sighed to herself, rather loudly.
About 5 minutes later, Caitlyn answered Mitchie's silent questions, with her mouth half full with a bacon McMuffin.
"Oh...I got onto Shane...Mm, he said he's going to ring you... tonight. That's all I got from him" She said between bites.
Oh shit, that can't be good.
On the way home from school that day, Mitchie began to think what reasons Shane could possibly have to be mad at her. She hadn't done anything wrong, as far as she knew. She hadn't gone off with some random guy, she called him at every chance she could. She sighed, feeling very frustrated.

A few hours later, Mitchie was in her room, finishing off the homework she had. Her cell rang loudly, making her jump. She read the caller ID, Shane.
She reached for her phone, her hand shaking slightly and pressed the answer button.
"Hello..." She said, rather cautiously.
"Hey Mitch" Mitchie let out a sigh of relief. He sounded happy, ecstatic even. He continued before Mitchie had a chance to reply.
"I'm sorry I haven't answered in a few days, I've... uh, been busy." She heard the slight hesitation in his voice, but chose to ignore it.
"It's okay, I was worried though. Like really worried. I thought you were mad or something..." She trailed off, absentmindedly fiddling with the necklace that she wore.
"Oh babe, I wasn't mad. It's just been really hectic the past few days. That reminds me, i have a surprise for you."
Mitchie smiled, a small laugh escaping at the same time. "Oh really Mr. Grey? What would that be?"
She heard him laugh "If I told you, it would totally defeat the purpose of a surprise... Ms Torres"
There was silence. Mitchie listened to what was happening on the other line. It sounded like he was in a car.
"Mitch, I got to go. But you'll get your surprise soon enough, I promise"
"I better. You know how impatient I can get." She said, half joking.
"Funny Mitch... You should get some sleep, you have school tomorrow"
"Yes mom." She replied sarcastically, laughing in the process.
"Bye Mitch. I love you." He laughed along with her.
"I love you too Shane. Only 2 more days." She hung up after saying that. They weren't really the kind of couple that would spend 10 minutes saying goodbye to each other. Plus, when Shane said he had to go, that meant he really had to go, especially while he was on tour. It's funny dating a Pop Star.
She rolled over onto her side, and drifted into a peaceful sleep. She felt better, now that she knew everything was fine between Shane and herself.
Mitchie heard her phone buzz beside her. She looked over at the clock, with her eyes half shut. 4:19, it read. She groaned inwardly, before reaching for her phone and bringing it to her ear.
"Hello" She said, softly.
"Mitchie, I... uh, I have really bad news..." It was Shane, and he didn't sound happy.
She sat up, switching on her bedside lamp. "Shane, what is it?"
"You remember James, my manager? Well anyway, He's decided to extend the tour. What's even worse is that he asked everyone apart from me whether they were okay with it. He knew that Nate being Nate, he would accept anything which could boost Connect Three's publicity. And Jason, well, he agrees to anything, being the major ditz he is. He knew I wouldn't agree to it, god." It sounded like Shane was whacking something on the other end, which worried Mitchie even more.
"How long?" Mitchie closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, calming herself down.
"4 months."
Mitchie woke up in a cold sweat. She started looking around, seeing where her phone had gone. It was still sitting on her bedside table, on charge. She looked over at the clock. 5:10. it was a dream. She sighed in relief, and laid her head back down.
2 hours later, she awoke to the sound of her alarm clock. The first thing she did once she got up was check her recent calls list, making sure that it was just a dream. She then walked into her bathroom, getting ready for school.
40 minutes later, she made her way downstairs. When she walked into the kitchen, she didn't see her mom nor her dad.
"Mom?" She called out, confused.
She walked into the living room, thinking maybe they were watching the morning news. The first thing she noticed when she got to the living room was the fact that there were three heads facing the TV.
"Mom? What are you doing in here?" All three turned around and her eyes immediately locked with brown eyes she had missed so much.
"Shane?"
Okay, i hope i didn't disappoint with that chapter, because I'm not entirely happy about it. But now that Shane's back, the chapters can get longer and much easier for me to write;]
Now, i wanted to ask this before i do the major switch. But, i was thinking of switching to writing in first person, Mitchie's POV majority of the time. Let me know what you think about that, oh and i tried to get this chapter finished as quick as i could. I was SO beyond excited to find that i got 8 reviews. That's an all time HIGH ;) for me, haha, bad joke, I know. But still, thank you all so much for reviewing and stuff.
If there's anything you didn't like about this chapter as well, maybe i used the same word a lot of something, please let me know. Constructive criticism is welcome.
And im so pleased that there are alot of All Time Low fans. :D
The 2 songs i was listening to while writing this are...
Black Box – Stan Walker (Australian Idol Winner and it is SUCH a good song!)
and
Caught in the Crowd - Kate Miller-Heidke (Also a good song)
Let me know what you thought of the chapter :]
