Chapter 4
Watching Mitchie's performance really did bring back a lot of memories and before I actually realised Caitlyn was asking me why I was crying.
"Because watching her perform just brings back so many memories and I just miss her." I said looking down and wiping my tears away.
"Awhh! I never knew Alex could be so emotional" Came a voice that I hadn't heard for years; Mitchie.
"Hi." I said looking up; I don't get how some can avoid talking to you for 8 years and then suddenly you meet at a summer music camp and she suddenly starts acting as if the past 8 years haven't happened.
"What's up with you?" She asked completely ignoring the fact that I didn't want to talk to her.
"Well? What do you think! I text you 8 year ago to see how you were and all I got back was that you didn't want to talk to me! What do you think Michelle! You promised you would keep in touch with me but no! After 2 years that went all fucked up; you never wanted to know me anymore." I stopped there to get a breath and to wipe my tears that were now streaming down my face. I didn't care what people were saying or thinking when they looked at me I was fuming and I was going to make sure Mitchie knew. "Do you even realise how much I needed your support, you might have moved to Canada but I needed you. You knew perfectly well what people were like to me at Tribeca and you still didn't care. I loved you Mitch! I still do for God's sake but do you care?! No! You don't so you know what! When you finally realise what you did for me then. JUST THEN! Will I maybe forgive you and talk to you." With that I couldn't take it any more so I ran all the way back to the Cabin and dived straight into my bed tears streaming down my face no way that I could stop them.
Half an hour later Caitlyn came running into the cabin, Mitchie nowhere in sight.
"Alex!" She called running into the cabin as I sat up and looked at her wiping my eyes.
"What?" I asked not really wanting to talk to anyone right now
"What the hell happened out there? You do know everyone is talking about the fact that you have just had a go a Mitchie the 'it' girl around here." Caitlyn said sitting down on my bed looking at me.
"Well, Mitchie really hurt me when we were younger and I couldn't help it when i seen her and I just flipped and the fact everyone is talking about it? Well, I couldn't care less." I replied as Caitlyn looked shocked. I was serious; I just flipped, I never meant to but I did and I already regretted it...
"Alex, don't worry. Mitchie will come around at some point and if I know Mitchie which I think I do she will apologise and if not I will make her don't worry." She says that now but to be fair I know Mitchie and it takes a while for Mitchie to come round after something like that. "Oh by the way, she's coming now." Caitlyn finished just as Mitchie walked through the door.
"Alex?" Came Mitchie's voice. Blank it Alex, blank it. I'm not having a go at her to forgive her half an hour later. No chance in hell! "Please talk to me, just let explain." She begged as her voice broke and she started crying.
"Fine!" I stated looking at her. "You have 5 minutes."
Mitchie's POV
Thank god! I can't believe she had actually given me the chance to explain myself.
"Well? Are you going to explain or am I wasting my time." Alex snapped.
"Right, you want to know why I stopped talking to you." I asked, I was going to tell her what she wanted to know.
"Well I thought that was what you were going to tell me." Alex said not even looking at me.
"Well if you want to know that I'm going to have to start at the beginning." I said as Alex just nodded as if to say it was ok. "When we first moved you knew what I was like didn't you?" I asked.
"Yeah." Alex said.
"Good, well I was depressed and heartbroken at the thought of having to leave you in New York, the one friend I've ever known, the one person who I couldn't have got through those years without and I didn't know what I was going to do without you by my side. My parents noticed this and they thought it was you that caused it and they thought that not being able to see you would make it better so that's why they banned our summer holiday thing." I stopped to wipe away the tears that were streaming down my face. "Then that got no better and banning me from seeing you made it worse because, well, I loved you Alex, I noticed that on my ninth birthday when it was too late and the fact that I loved you made me miss you more and they thought it was you again and they banned me from talking to you completely and then when they came down to New York that time they said I couldn't go in case I bumped into you, I just missed you so much and my mum said that if she ever caught me talking to you she would take everything off me and I wouldn't get it back." I stuttered, the tears were falling uncontrollably from both of us now and there was no way we could stop them.
"Mitch-i-i-I have some-something to tell you." Alex said through all the tears as we both just leant forward to hug each other. It took us both over 10 minutes to calm down and stop the tears but as soon as we stopped I asked Alex what she wanted to tell me.
"What did you want to tell me?" I asked Alex curiously.
"Two things really but ones more showing than telling." Alex replied quietly.
"Well then, what are they?" I asked sympathetically.
"Well, you know you said about your parents coming to New York and what they said to you?" Alex asked me as I just nodded and urged for her to continue. "Well, when they were there, they came into the Sun Shop and I was busy making sandwiches for people and I heard you're Dad say that you never wanted to come because you never wanted to see me." She finished as she fought back the tears again.
"He did what?" I asked again not wanting to believe what Alex had just said.
"He said you never wanted to come because you didn't want to see me." She repeated as I tried to come to terms with what my Dad had said.
"That's bullshit Alex, there was nothing more I wanted in this world than to see you again." Mitchie replied again looking me straight in the eyes.
"I know that now but it's too lateā¦" She said as she looked towards the ground. Too late? What did she mean?
"What do you mean it's too late?" I asked wanting to know what she meant.
"You know what I said about the other one was more showing than telling?" Alex asked as I nodded and she held her wrist out towards me for me to see. They were covered in scars in all directions some newer ones some older ones. It broke my heart to see this; I couldn't believe that she did this. My Alex, the strongest girl I knew.
"Alex, why?" I asked trying not to cry again.
"I just couldn't think of any other way to deal with everything and your Dad saying you didn't want to see me caused the worst pain of all, the worst cuts and everything." She said pointing to three of the worst scars on her arm.
"Oh, Alex." I said as I leant down to kiss her wrists trying to get every single scar on her arm. "You mean too much to me to lose." I said as I just sat looking at her with her looking back at me straight into each other's eyes. Right then the feelings I used to feel for her came flooding, everything and I think it happened to her seen as though she did tell me before she loved me.
"I love you Mitch," She whispered. "I have for long time and I hope to god you love me back."
"Well guess what," I said as she looked up to me. "I do love you back. I've loved you for so long but I have tried to hide my feelings away so that no one would realise but it's about to accept them and get it into my thick head that I love you and that these feelings aren't going anywhere soon."
"Be my girlfriend?" Alex asked me making me step back in shock.
"What?" I asked as a smile crept onto my face, I heard her the first time but I wanted to hear her say it again.
"Be my girlfriend?" Alex asked again, slightly more confident that the first time.
"On one condition." I said as her smile dropped from her face.
"What's that?" Alex asked nervously, she's so cute when she's nervous, I just hope my Mum doesn't flip out at me when she finds out.
"Promise me you'll never harm yourself again?" Mitchie asked.
"Will I always have you to protect me?" Alex asked as I nodded.
"As long as I can possibly can be." I said before leaning over to hug her.
"Then I promise never to harm myself again." Alex said whilst we were hugging.
"Then I agree to be your girlfriend." I said as Alex leaned in to kiss me.
It was the best kiss in my life, there were sparks flying everywhere as we just kept kissing. We heard the door open and close but we just ignored it and kept kissing as I pushed Alex back onto the bed and straddled as our tongues kept battling for dominance.
"MICHELLE TORRES YOU GET OFF THAT GIRL RIGHT NOW!" I heard my Mum scream at us both as we were kissing passionately on Alex's bed.
All that went through my mind as Alex pulled away from me to face my mother was the fact that I am going to be in so much shit.
"Hi Mum!" I said
"Hi Connie!" Alex exclaimed happily
"Oh don't Hi Mum, Hi Connie me." My Mum snarled in the direction of Alex and I, we were definitely in shit.
