For those…


Shane stayed in the airport for a little bit longer before returning to the taxi. He asked the driver to take him back.

"Sir... Did you love her?" The cabby asked quietly. "More than anything in the whole world." Shane said as he watched an airplane fly over top of the city.

"Then why did you let her get away?" The cabby asked. "Because I've screwed up. I thought she didn't love me and broke it off with her... Now I'm dating someone else and found out that she did or does love me..." Shane said as he watched the traffic.

The cabby nodded. "That's a brave thing to do... Did you think she might have been the one?" He asked. Shane nodded. "I knew she was." He whispered as he closed his eyes and leaned back. The ride was mostly silence until the man driving smiled. "You are a brave person to let the one get away like she is." He said before slowing down as he reached the hotel. "Thank you sir." Shane said before handing him a wad of cash. Shane didn't really know how much it was or really care. "Keep the change and I'm not that brave... If I was I wouldn't be here." Shane murmured.

The cab driver thanked him as Shane went back inside. He was instantly greeted by thousand's of camera flashes and his name being called. He ignored it. He didn't raise his head from his view of the floor other than for a second to hit the button on the elevator.

He sighed as he hit the button for his floor and waited.

Ding!

The doors opened and he stepped out. He felt kinda pathetic. "Hey..." He said after he opened to door to the suite. Nate and Jason looked up and noticed that Shane seemed more depressed than before. "What's up man?" Nate asked confused. "I let her get away..." Shane murmured before heading straight for Mitchie's room. Nate and Jason shared a look as they noticed Missy had suddenly seemed to show up and was following Shane into Mitchie's room.

"Shane baby. What's wrong?" Missy asked as she stroked his cheek. Shane turned his head. "Go away." He said. He silently was thinking of ways he'd be able to get Mitchie back. Nothing came to mind. He groaned before flinging himself back onto the bed.

Missy took this to her advantage and crawled on top of him. "Shaney what's wrong. You can tell me." Missy said kissing along his jaw. Shane frowned before shoving Missy off. "Get out." He said forcefully this time. She stared shocked at him. "But Shaney!" She started. "Don't call me that." He said glaring. He realized what he had really done now. "Missy... I... I think we need to break up..." He said suddenly.

Missy looked at him a smiled. "I wondered how long it'd take you." She murmured before kissing his cheek. "Fight for her." Missy said as she held a few tears back before turning and walking out. Shane stood confused. Shouldn't Missy be upset or angry? Shouldn't he be holding his cheek in pain as she slapped him?

He stared blankly before getting up. He really didn't want to do this.


Mitchie sighed as she stared out the window of the plane. The only thing she could see was clouds. She played with the ring on her hand. "Why did you have to make it so hard Shane..." She murmured. The woman sitting next to her glanced confused.

"Excuse me... But would you happen to be Mitchie Torres?" She asked. Mitchie looked slightly worried and shocked. "Um... Well yes..." Mitchie replied startled.

The woman let out a wide smile. "My son talks about you twenty four seven." She said before putting a hand out. Mitchie looked confused. "Uh... Good to know?" She said but it came out more as a question. "How silly of me. I'm Marie. Shane Gray's mother." She smiled. Mitchie's smile falter.

"Your... Your his mom?" She whispered suddenly feeling horrible. "Yes... Is that a problem?" Marie asked looking at Mitchie in wonder.

Mitchie shook her head no. "I... We...Heh... We got in a fight a couple of hours ago and I told him I doubt I'd ever talk to him again. Which I right now really wish I didn't say... But I also wish he would have explained this to me..." Mitchie said holding up her hand to show the ring. Marie smiled. "Ah. The promise ring." She murmured.

"Well... I'm sorry to hear that you told him that. I was hoping you'd be the one that finally sticks around... I'm not a big fan of that Misty girl." Marie said sighing. Mitchie nodded. "I don't really like her either... and I wish I could two..." Mitchie said before staring back out the window.

The rest of the flight was fairly silent for the rest of the trip until Marie had thought of a question she had to know the answer to.

"Did you love him? and be honest about it."Maire said as she noticed Mitchie been scribbling in a notebook for several minutes.

"I didn't..." Mitchie started. Marie frowned she didn't want to hear the rest. "Tha-" "I wasn't finished." Mitchie interrupted.

"I still love him... I'm pretty positive I'll always love him... But how can I be with him if he doesn't trust me enough to asking me questions?" Mitchie said looking distressed.

Marie frowned. "I'm sorry sweetie... Some times its best to walk away for a while..." Marie said before giving Mitchie's arm a reassuring squeeze.
