Back Together

Shane's Point of View

I held Mitchie as tightly as I could and kissed her hair. I missed her touch, her smell, her love. Neither of us let go until Nate and Jason came from the kitchen and both cried out in surprise.

"What- how…" Nate stuttered.

"I'll explain later," I said, kissing Mitchie's forehead.

"You've been gone a year, I think we deserve an explanation," he said. That shocked me so much that my arms immediately fell to my sides.

"I was gone for a year?!" I said. I knew I had been gone for a long time but a full year?

"Yeah, it's our anniversary," Mitchie said quietly.

"So where were you?" Jason asked.

I couldn't stop the memory of what I had just escaped from before it popped into my head. Wincing, I shook my head, forcing the memory away into my head.

"What happened?" Nate pushed.

"Just leave it alone!" I snapped and they all jumped. "I'm sorry, it's just…"

They didn't continue to push me to tell them anything. Nate and Jason left quietly, leaving Mitchie and I alone.

"I missed you," she whispered and buried her head in my chest.

Instead of answering, I kissed her, hard. It'd been a full year since I've been able to touch her or kiss her. She pulled me into the bedroom and, without breaking the kiss, fell down on the bed, pulling me with her. Our lips only parted for a second to take our shirts off.

Mitchie's Point of View

I felt Shane get out of bed later than night. Groggily, I turned my head and looked at the clock. It was only 2:41 in the morning. By then, Shane had walked out of the room, not noticing or not caring that I was up. I stood up, threw on a shirt and followed him. When I found him, he was sitting at the kitchen table, his head in his hands.

"Shane?" I whispered quietly.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, his voice cracking.

I walked over to him and hugged him from behind.

"It's not your fault," I said and kissed his cheek, "Do you want to talk about it?"

"I just can't stop thinking about what happened," he said.

"I'm gonna go to bed," I said and let him go.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me in for another kiss. We both went back to the bedroom, content in each others arms.
