Never thought it'd come this far
Thinkin' back to where we started And how we lost who we are - Before the storm by Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas.

Of the few days that Connect Three and Caitlyn and Jason's wife Danni where still in Vegas. They always were at the bar Mitchie was at. Obeying Mitchie's wishes Shane stayed away, he also didn't drink anything but soda. He felt worse then before. "M… Did you notice that Shane keeps glancing at you?" Natalya asked after a maybe an hour of working the bar. "Yeah. But I'm not caving this time." Mitchie said glaring at the place where Shane had been sitting but he had moved.
"Uh… Refill please?" Shane said shaking the cup he was holding. "Sure." Mitchie said grabbing his cup. "Mitchie?" Shane said quietly. "Michella." Mitchie said correcting Shane. "My close friends and my parents can only call me Mitchie." Mitchie coldly said. "Right… Michella… I'm sorry… For everything… I've been an ass to you." Shane whispered. "And… I was hoping to start out new?" Shane said a little hopeful. "We are not friends again. But we can maybe start out as acquaintances" Mitchie said she no longer had a cold tone neither a happy tone. "Alright…So what are you doing tomorrow night? I'm not asking you out or anything I'm just curious…" Shane said.
Mitchie thought for a minute before noticing that Shane looked like crap. "Give me your drink." Mitchie said reaching for his glass. "Why?" Shane said worried handing her the glass. "Cause. As for tomorrow I've got it off. Why?" Mitchie said dumping the contents of glass. "Well… Maybe we can go get something to eat and just talk?" Shane said watching the woman on the other side of the counter fix up a glass of beer. "What? I can't drink that! I told Nate I was going to be the driver tonight!" He said alarmed when Mitchie placed the glass in from of him. "Your going to be here for at least several more hours. One glass won't kill you and talking sounds nice." Mitchie said smiling.
The next day Mitchie twirled her now dyed black hair in her fingers. She was standing in front of Shane's hotel door. She was being a typical girl. Nervous and worried. "I'll be back… I'm gonna see if she's her- Oh… Hi…" Shane said opening the door. " Shane." Mitchie said with a small smile. "Michella." Shane said with an even smaller more sadder smile. "Guys. She's here…" Shane yelled though the door. "MITCHIEEEEE!!!!" Both Caitlyn and Jason yelled running towards her.
"Hey?" Mitchie said raising a few fingers before she was hugged. "Babe… She's turning blue." a dark haired woman said looking at Jason. "Right. Cait let go!" Jason said. "Ow… God Cait.. You stepped on my foot. Where is Nate?" Mitchie asked noticing the one missing member. "Calling his mom… He wants to check on Kat. " Caitlyn said smiling. "Your black!" She suddenly squealed grabbing a small portion of Mitchie's long hair "No I'm white.." Mitchie said smiling as Caitlyn grinned "You're a racist." Caitlyn said shaking her head. "You look good." Caitlyn noted as Nate appeared. " Hey Mitch." he nodded towards Mitchie "She's asleep…" He said kissing Caitlyn's temple. "Mmm good." Caitlyn leaned into Nate. "Well… Later?" Shane said looking at the others who quickly headed back into there rooms. Caitlyn only stopped long enough to catch Mitchie's attention and mouth the words 'Talk don't scream.' "I'll try Cait. Can promise anything." Mitchie said understanding what Caitlyn had said.
"Girl speak?" Shane suddenly asked as soon as they were to Shane's car. "Yeah…" Mitchie mumbled. "Is it bad to think about when we the best of friends?" Shane whispered mostly talking to his self. "No. I was thinking about where we went wrong…." Mitchie spoke up. "Amber… Right?" Shane asked. "Yeah. The bitch." Mitchie muttered. "Look I'm sorry I screwed up… I just never thought… You would run." Shane said gripping the steering wheel tightly as they headed away from Vegas. " Well I did. Now you see how bad I was hurt… Where are we going?" Mitchie said watching Vegas pass them. "Dunno. I just want out of Vegas. Maybe next town we can stop and eat." Shane said. His hold on the steering wheel didn't loosen. "Shane?" Mitchie said quietly. "WHAT?!?" He snapped suddenly. "Never mind…" Mitchie said quietly before turning away from Shane to keep the tears that were forming away from his view. "Michella! Oh god I'm sorry… I just kinda was lost in thought… I'm sooooo sorry!" Shane said suddenly. He felt bad now. "Michella?" he said again noticing that her face was staring out the passenger window. "Do you have any idea how much it hurt me to watch you be used? Or to run? Or even sit here tonight with out feeling hollow? It's pretty hard. Yeah that's right I feel hollow. I was scared of running but knew I have to do it. I couldn't tell you about what she was doing cause then you would think I was lying and then we be in a huge fight and I'd still end up here." Mitchie ranted with makeup running down her face she turned to him.
"Don't ever think that I would never believe you." Shane said angry. "Stop the car right now." Mitchie said "I thought I could do this but I can't Shane…. I can't do it again. We have lost what we were. It's never coming back. So lets forget about us." She continued to rant. " Wait. If you are going to leave. Let me leave you with one thing." Shane said once he had stopped the car.
His knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so tightly. "What possibly more could I have from you that won't hurt me!" Mitchie yelled at him. "This." Shane said pulling Mitchie face to his and kissing her hard. She was shocked. She couldn't register in her mind what was going on. Soon Shane pulled away from Mitchie. Her eyes where wide. "What…What was that for?" Mitchie spluttered. She was lost in thought. " That was the feelings I've had from the first day we met till now. Just downsized." Shane growled. He was anger with himself and frustrated with the world. "You could have told me." Mitchie muttered. "No I couldn't have. That person I fell in love with left be for I had a chance to. The night you left I found out about Amber. The slut told me everything. She used me so that she could hurt you. It worked. I told her to get the fucking hell out." Shane ranted. "SHANE!" Mitchie suddenly yelled grabbing his face. "I love you be it can't happen." Mitchie said quietly. "We. Can't happen. Our past and now are to screwed up for anything." Mitchie said pulling away from Shane and opening the car door
. "Wait!" Shane yelled after Mitchie had stepped out and closed the door to Shane's car. She had started to walk. Shane had trailed after her for a while before he stopped and just watched her walk away from him. She wanted to be everything that he wanted. But she couldn't. Shane Gray stopped her from moving on before and he was sure doing a hell of a job on making her not want to move on now. She was the only thing that could keep him together. The only thing that ever would. Now she was gone and she would come back.
