Whoa, it's been waaaay too long! Sorry guys! I've just been insanely busy. So, ready for a new chapter? Thought so!!
The next day, Shane woke up thinking about Mitchie. He had to see her again, maybe then his mind would give it a rest. He jumped up from his bed and quickly took a shower. After drying and straightening his raven colored hair, he slipped on black skinny jeans and his favorite The Beatles shirt. He usually didn't wear stuff this casual, but he didn't want to over dress or anything.
When Shane was eating breakfast, it hit him. He didn't know Mitchie's number or where to find her. He frowned and tried to think about where she might be. Then he remembered, she healed his arm, even if his friend's didn't believe it, she had. And then the doctor came… She healed patients for them? Did that mean she would be at the hospital? He decided to go and see if she was.
When he got to the hospital, Shane ran to the front desk. "Excuse me, is Mitchie here?"
"Mitchie? Oh, yeah, she's in the B wing." The nurse answered.
"Can I see her?" Shane asked.
"Sure. Jamie!" The nurse called to a passing woman. When she turned, the nurse continued. "Do you mind taking this young man down to the B wing to see Mitchie?"
Jamie nodded. "Yeah, sure. C'mon." She turned and walked down a hallway, Shane following. They got to an elevator and went up two floors. When they stepped out, Jamie led Shane down another hall before coming out to a waiting area. "There she is." She pointed to a chair where the brown haired girl sat. Shane's heart beat a little faster.
"Thank you, Jamie." Shane said as she turned away.
"No problem." She walked away. Shane went and sat in the chair next to Mitchie's.
"Hi, Mitchie." Shane fidgeted slightly in his chair.
Mitchie turned and looked at the boy she had been thinking about since their encounter the day before. "Hi, Shane. Uh, what's up?"
"I wanted to say thanks for yesterday. You kinda left before I could…" He trailed off.
"Yeah," she frowned. "I haven't really had a life for a few years now because the doctors need me."
"You're here every day?" Shane's eyes widened.
"Sadly. The nurses help me with school. I only go home to sleep. My parents hate this, but I guess I don't have a choice."
"Why wouldn't you?"
"I guess they need me."
Shane sighed. "Whatever."
"Just give it a rest, Shane. Please."
"Fine." There was a silence after that. Shane started playing with the hem of his shirt when he decided to take a chance. "Mitchie?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think you could take a night off Saturday to go on a date with me?"
Mitchie thought for a moment. "I could try."
"Thank you." Shane grinned happily.
"No, thank you. I haven't had anyone but my parents for so long."
Shane frowned a little. "It's fine. Can I have your number?"
"Yeah, as long as I can have your number." Mitchie seemed oblivious to his frown as she programmed her cell phone number into his phone and he put his in hers.
"I'll call you with the details." Shane stated.
Mitchie smiled. "Ok. See you later."
Shane nodded in agreement and left.
-The Healer-
'Yeah it's just me-eeeee. It's just me and I'll find a way to make it. There's no one left to stop me. Here I go, can we take it from the top?'
Mitchie dug through her bag and found her cell phone. She pressed the talk button and held the phone up to her ear. "Hello?"
"Hey, Mitchie? Yeah, it's Shane."
"Oh, hi Shane."
"Hey. So, I'm calling about tomorrow."
"What about- Oh yeah!" Mitchie blushed, embarrassed.
Shane laughed. "Yeah, tomorrow. Saturday, our date. You can take a break from the hospital right?"
"Oh, yeah. I can. Where are we going?"
"The movies. Then a surprise after that. Wow, I feel like I really know you." Shane laughed again.
"I feel the same way," Mitchie giggled. "What time?"
"Can I pick you up at 7?"
"Yeah, from the hospital."
Shane sighed. "Yeah, the hospital. Do you ever see your parents?"
Mitchie was surprised by the sudden question. "Uh, yeah…"
"How often?"
She frowned. "Does it matter?"
"Mitchie, how often do you see your parents?"
Mitchie sighed in defeat. "About three times per week."
"You need a break from that hospital."
"I can't, Shane. They need me here. Can you just let it be?"
"Fine, but you still need a break. Anyway, see you tomorrow?"
Mitchie smiled. "Ok, see you tomorrow. Bye, Shane."
"Bye, Mitchie." He hung up.
-The Healer-
"Mitchie, hun, I've got your clothes here." Someone called as Mitchie rushed by.
Mitchie backtracked. "Thank you, Carla! Are you sure it's okay for me to leave?"
"Hun, if it's for a boy, you're fine."
"Thank you, Carla, seriously. Good bye!" She yelled over her shoulder as she ran to the bathroom.
"You're welcome! Good luck!"
Mitchie changed quickly and hurried to the front of the hospital. She sat on a bench outside and a few minutes later, Shane pulled up. He opened the door to his car and got out.
"Hi, Mitchie!"
She grinned. "Hi, Shane!"
"You look great."
Mitchie blushed. "Thank you," The green blouse and black skinny jeans she had put on didn't seem like the nicest looking outfit, but if he liked it, she was good. "You don't look too bad yourself." She smiled.
Shane blushed, copying Mitchie's face. He was wearing grey skinny jeans, a black button up shirt, and a leather jacket. "Thank you, Mitchie. You ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Shane opened Mitchie's door and closed it when she was in, then crossed to the other side of the car where he got in.
The drive to the movie theatre was short. When they got there, only a few teenage girls recognized Shane, and he signed autographs for them. They got in line after that. "What do you want to see?" Shane questioned Mitchie.
"Hmm… 2012?"
Shane seemed surprised. "You want to see that? I didn't think many girls would want to see that."
"Well, I'm not a normal girl."
Shane frowned. "I'm sorry."
"You're okay. This 'gift' isn't bad. So, 2012?"
"Sure, I wanted to see that!" Shane smiled and the two got their tickets, popcorn, candy, and drinks and found good seats in the theatre.
Throughout the movie, Shane kept sneaking glances at Mitchie. She was so beautiful! Shane smiled to himself. While thinking about it, he reached for the popcorn.
Conveniently enough, Mitchie glanced at Shane whenever he looked away, although she didn't know that. He was just so handsome! As she thought about this she reached for the popcorn.
Their hands met at the bowl and they stayed like that for a moment before Mitchie pulled her hand away. "Sorry, sorry." She blushed.
"It's fine, you were fine, I didn't mind." Shane smiled and turned back to the movie. Mitchie continued to blush, but also turned her attention to 2012 again.
When the movie was over, Shane and Mitchie got back into Shane's car. "So, time for the surprise?" Mitchie recalled what Shane had said the day before.
"Yeah. I hope you like it." He bit his lip.
"I'm sure I will. I've been told I'm easy to please." Mitchie reassured him. Shane nodded and started up the car. They drove out of the parking lot and down the street. After about 15 minutes, Shane parked up next to the curb. "A park?" Mitchie's eyebrows went up.
"Well, you seem like you don't get out much. Parks are awesome!" He exclaimed with the excitement of a 5-year-old.
Mitchie chuckled. "Ok, Shane. I'll try it out." They got out of the car and Shane grabbed Mitchie's hand and pulled her to the slide.
"C'mon, Mitch! You go down first." He climbed up after her, and she was ready, Shane gave Mitchie a light push. He slid down after her and hopped to her side. "Wanna go on the swings?" The way he looked and acted made Mitchie giggle. "What?" Shane frowned.
"You're just cute when you act immature. The good, adorable immature, I mean." Shane grinned and hugged her.
"Let's go to the swings now! They're fun to sit on while you look at the stars." Shane ran to the swings and jumped on. Mitchie laughed and jogged over to the swing next to him. "You know, I think after a little work, you can be just as immature as me!" Shane squealed as he started to swing.
"Oh, joy." Mitchie laughed along with Shane as she started sway. She tilted her head back and looked at the stars. "They're really beautiful."
"I come here a lot to think. Just looking at the stars helps with a lot."
"Deep, Shane, but true." He looked over at Mitchie, who was gazing at the stars. He smiled.
"Hey, I can be deep!" Shane said in fake hurt voice.
Mitchie giggled. "Okay, Shane, think what you want."
Shane grinned and looked at his phone. "Hey, it's getting late. Want me to take you home?"
"Sure. Let's go." She got up with Shane and they walked side by side back to the car.
"Where do you live?"
"437 Ceaser Road."
"Ok, we'll be there in just a few minutes."
"Ok." In 5 minutes, they arrived at Mitchie's house. She turned to open the car door.
"Want me to walk you to the door?"
"No, I'm fine. Thank you, by the way. I had so much fun tonight." She grinned and turned back to face Shane. She awkwardly hugged him over the seats. "See you later?"
"Call you later, might visit you tomorrow. So yes, see you later." Shane smiled. Mitchie laughed.
"Ok, Shane. Goodnight."
"'Night, Mitchie."
