Hey guys, I'm back with the 3rd and final instalment of Decisions, Decisions. I am going to keep this shortish, so you can get on with the reading. I'd just like to say sorry for this chapter, it is a sucky ending, I imagined it so much better than what it turned out like, but I wanted it to be finished, and this is what was produced. I hope it doesn't disappoint. Oh and follow me on twitter (ItsMeJADEY) you can find the link on my profile page.

Enjoy (:

I glanced at myself in the mirror; I looked awful. No matter how many times I scrub my face, It'll still be red and blotchy. Why do I have to be so weak, and always cry? I'm pathetic.

I sighed. What did Shane ever see in me in the first place? Oh crap, there I go again, thinking about him. He is always on my mind. Gosh, I love him so much. I wish it was simpler, then we could just go back to how we were.

I know deep in my heart that he didn't cheat on me, he wouldn't. I'm not stupid, and nor is he. Well, maybe I am stupid. I was the one who believed her over Shane, I am the one who let her destroy our relationship, I was the one who broke my heart, not him, it never was him, he did nothing wrong, I know that.

Shane. Shane. Shane. Shane. That's all I ever think about these days, and it's not even in the nice way either, no, it's confusing. I want to be with him, I do, I really do, but there is still that little bit of doubt. There is no way I can just go back to him like that.

"Mitch, you in here?" I heard Caitlyn's voice echoed through the toilets, disrupting my train of thoughts. She came around the corner, spotting me. "I've been looking for you all over the school."

"All over, seriously?" I rose an eyebrow.

"Okay, okay. I looked in the library and here, anyway I have something to tell you."

I nodded, urging her to carry on.

"Well you know that little story we heard about Shane and Little Miss Slut? Well, it was a lie."

Caitlyn, of all people, was saying this to me. The one who wanted to tear his head off, is telling me it was a lie. Right...

"Okay..." I trailed off.

"Mitchie, I'm being serious. You know I wouldn't just be saying that. One, I'm your best friend and I don't want you hurting, and two, I know this because....you see....Shane, kinda...."

"Spit it out!"

"He got you a promise ring, that he planned to give to you the night of the party, but Miley found out, and wanted to ruin his plan, so spread the rumour that he slept with her, knowing the entire school would believe her, and it'd somehow get round to you, then you two would split up and she could take Shane for herself," Caitlyn rambled out, rather quickly. I could hardly understand a word she was saying.

"Whoa...okay. What did you say?"

"You don't really expect me to repeat that do you? You know exactly what I said."

I swear I stopped breathing for a second. I took in a big gulp of air. That wasn't the truth, it couldn't be. Shane wouldn't get me a promise ring...would he? The only part of that story that I firmly believed, was Miley's plan, because, lets face it, it's Miley and that's what she does.

I stood there with my mouth open for quite some while, apparently. Caitlyn shook me out of the trance.

"Mitchie, about now would be a great time to say something?"

I nodded, mouth still agape, "I need to speak to him."

Caitlyn smiled, "That's my girl. Come on, there is still 10 minutes left of lunch and Shane is still in the cafeteria."

At the mention of his name, I felt my heart start racing.

After all this, he was telling the truth, and I broke up with him and believed her. Why, oh why, oh why? If I hadn't assumed the worst in the first place, none of this would have happened.

Somehow, in between my thinking, I was back in the cafeteria, and there he was, right in front of my eyes.

"Go on then Mitch."

I gulped, this was it.

I began to walk slowly over to him, taking my time so I could think of the correct thing to say.

I was a few steps from his table, when Nate stepped in my way.

"Mitchie, what are you doing?" He looked at me curiously.

"I'm doing, what should have been done a long time ago."

"Caitlyn told you, didn't she?"

"Yeah..."

"Man, I told her not to. Now she has gone and completely fucked things up." He mumbled to himself.

"Excuse me. How has she fucked things up? Nate, what is your problem? Don't you want me or your brother to be happy? Do you want me to be upset for my entire life, because of one stupid mistake? If anything, you are the one who is fucking everything up, so now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go tell Shane that I love him and I want to be with him again, is that okay?"

"Mitchie...."

"Yes?"

He stood there, looking guilty.

"That's what I thought." I concluded, pushing him out of my way, to see Shane sat there shocked.

"Did you mean that?" He asked quietly.

"Yeah," I whispered softly, smiling.

He stood, and rushed over to me, scooping me in his arms. I hugged back, with everything I had. I had missed being in his arms. They had always made me feel comforted and safe. We fitted perfectly together, like two pieces of a puzzle.

"Mitchie, I'm so sorry for everything that happened, I truly am. I love you, I really do, and I didn't mean for any of this. It's pained me so much seeing you everyday, hating me. I can't even begin to...."

I cut him off, kissing him full on the lips. The familiar, electrifying sparks shot through me, sending my nerve system on fire. I had missed this so much, I had missed him. His kiss was full of love, and passion and everything he felt for me, but also filled with guilt and remorse, but all in all, it was perfect.

I pulled back, "Sorry, I just had to shut you up."

We laughed, and hugged once more.

"Now, I'm guessing I can explain to you what I really had meant to happen on your birthday," He smiled flirtatiously at me and I nodded. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a golden ring. It was simple, yet perfect. "I love you with all my heart Mitchie, and I am never, ever letting you go again, I promise."

He slid the ring onto the fourth finger, on my left hand and pecked me on the lips.

"Good, because I don't plan on going anywhere, ever again." I grinned, before burying my head in his chest once again.

Nate watched Mitchie and Shane rekindle their romance, before stalking over to Caitlyn.

"Why Caity? I asked you not to tell her, but you did anyway."

"Nate, I'm sorry, but I just wanted her to be happy, and I knew if she knew the truth she would be. I wouldn't have gone against what you said, if I knew it would hurt her, but it wouldn't and hasn't, so it's all worked out."

Caitlyn was right, she knew it and he knew it, but what Caitlyn doesn't understand is why Nate was so stubborn against Mitchie and Shane reuniting. You would think he'd want his best friend and brother to be happy again, wouldn't you....?

Maybe there was something much more deep about this, much more mysterious to the whole situation. Did Nate know something no-one else did, which could cause more drama?

No, of course not. He just didn't want Mitchie to be hurt again, that was his only wish, but when he looked over at the couple and saw the huge, matching smiles on their faces, he knew that everything would be okay.

"You're perfect, you know Caity?" He grinned, then pulled her into a kiss.

They both pulled back, and she looked directly into his eyes. Smirking, she replied with, "I know."

The couple giggled together, as they were joined with Shane and Mitchie.

"So I guess everything is back to normal now?" Mitchie questioned.

"Not quite." Caitlyn replied, sending the rest of the group into confusion.

She walked over to the 'popular' table.

"May we help you? I've seen the whole reunion over there. I guess Shane went back to that cheap slut, instead of having someone beautiful and worthy, like me."

"I think you got that the wrong way round, Love."

"I think not. So why don't you scuttle on over to the other rejects, because quite frankly, you are embarrassing me and my friends by being around us, freak."

Caitlyn laughed, "Yeah I will do, but there is just one thing that needs to be done."

And before anyone could blink an eye, her right hand had collided with Miley's cheek, leaving a blood red mark.

Miley gasped, and cried out in pain, "You bitch!"

Caitlyn shrugged, happily. "Maybe, but at least I'm not a fucked up Barbie doll that needs to lie to have friends." and with that, she simply smiled and walked off, forgetting about the speechless Miley behind her, and heading over to her friends.

"Now everything is back to normal," she concluded grinning.

The group burst into a fit of laughter, returning to what they were once like. You wouldn't have thought anything had even gone off.

It just proves, that if you listen to your heart, you will make the right decision in the end.

That's it. It's over.
