Sorry it took me so long to update! I'm writing this after swim practice, and I'm really tired because we had to swim a 1,000, that is 40 laps, without stopping! So I'm beat. If I misspell any words, don't yell at me, I'm just too tired to press the right keys.

Mitchie's POV

I can't wait until this class ends. If it doesn't end soon, I might start to hyperventilate. In a few minutes, even though they seem like centuries, I will be meeting Shane outside my cabin for lunch. I highly doubt that he planned for us to go to the mess hall. He probably did something really sweet. I mean, he's written me two songs, one last night, and one this morning. He is the sweetest guy ever.

"you guys can go now!" the instructor yells, and everyone shuffles around putting their music back in folders and bags.

Not me. I cram my lyrics and music paper into my bag, and run out the door.

"Shane!" I shout as I see him standing at the door of my cabin. He smiles wide, and catches me in his arms as I run up to him. I have my head buried deep in the corner of his shoulder and his neck. I breathe deeply, and I can feel both of our hearts beating fast. I notice something.

"hey Shane," I started, pulling away, "our hearts are beating at the exact same time."

"they are," he began seriously, "because I made it that way!" he finished jokingly.

I whacked his forearm, "Shut up!" I said in mock annoyance.

"oh, well excuse me, but I'll shut up." He said, and then pulled me in and kissed me. I felt the same spark I felt when we had first kissed, but even better if that was possible. I pulled away, but he pulled me back into a hug, and I loved having him hold me close. It made me feel safe, even though I knew there was nothing I needed to be protected from. I felt him kiss the top of my head, and then he grabbed my hand.,

"hey, let's go, or our lunch is going to get cold!" He told me.

"sure, but what's for lunch?"

"can't tell, it's a surprise."

"but-"

"nope, you'll just have to trust, wait, and see."

"Fine."

He pulled me alongside him into the forest, and we followed a well-worn trail, but it wasn't one listed on the camp map.

We finally broke into the bright sunlight somewhere in the mass of trees. We had hit a clearing, and smack in the middle was a picnic table, and a Tupperware container. Sitting next to the table was my guitar. What was my guitar doing here?

"hope you weren't looking forward to anything healthy for lunch!" Shane joked.

"no, but what is my guitar doing here?" I asked, curious.

"Oh," Shane started, "well, I was hoping you would play me another one of your songs." It was a question, but he was pleading. He really wanted me to play him a song.

"ok" I said.

"cool! Let's go EAT!" he bellowed out the last part, and I laughed at him.

He strode over to the Tupperware, and pulled off the top. I looked inside. Two brownies with chocolate frosting were sitting inside. I cracked up.

"shae gray! this is not lunch!" I said, but I saw his face fall, so I added, "but I didn't say I wasn't gonna eat it!"

He smiled at me. We ate the brownies, and then he handed me my guitar. I pulled out of my bag, the lyrics to my newest song.

"here goes nothing…" I said. And with that, I began to let the music flow out of me. I let it encircle me, and tighten its hold around my mind and heart.

You've spun my heart into fragile strings of glass

And I'm beggin' you not to bring back the past

Because I thought it would last

Now it's gone so fast

And I'm standin' on the rope you tied

Between our hearts

Deep inside

I know it might snap any time

So could my mind

So could your life

Does everything I love

Have to come at such a price?

Do the pieces of my life

Always seem to slide

Everything I love

Ripped away

The times I've had

Never to see

You've got me holdin' onto one end of my mind

And time is on the other side

Pullin' with all it's might

I'm gonna make this mess right

And I'm standin' on the rope you tied

Between our hearts

Deep inside

I know it might snap any time

So could my mind

So could your life

Does everything I love

Have to come at such a price?

Do the pieces of my life

Always seem to slide

Everything I love

Ripped away

The times I've had

Never to see

And I'm standin' on the rope you tied

Between our hearts

Deep inside

I know it might snap any time

So could my mind

So could your life

Does everything I love

Have to come at such a price?

Do the pieces of my life

Always seem to slide

Everything I love

Ripped away

The times I've had

Never to see

So go ahead and

Spin my heart into the fragile strings of glass

I'm sure the pain will pass

But as I pull thinner

Do you really want to bring back the past

And I'm standin' on the rope you tied

Between our hearts

Deep inside

I know it might snap any time

So could my mind

So could your life

Does everything I love

Have to come at such a price?

Do the pieces of my life

Always seem to slide

Everything I love

Ripped away

The times I've had

Never to see

Do you really want to pull my heart thin

Take it away so fast

And I'm standin' on the rope you tied

Between our hearts

Deep inside

I know it might snap any time

So could my mind

So could your life

Does everything I love

Have to come at such a price?

Do the pieces of my life

Always seem to slide

Everything I love

Ripped away

The times I've had

Never to see

Think fast

Do you really want to spin my heart

Into such fragile strings of glass

Shane smiled at me, and I fell head over heels in love with him all over again.
