Thanks for all the great reviews! i totally love hearing all of your feedback!

"What was that?" I asked aloud, hoping someone would answer me. I looked to Caitlyn and Sierra, then to Nate and Jason, realizing Nate looked like he'd been punched in the stomach and Jason looked like he was going to hurl. Nate turned very slowly to look at me, "Mitchie, I need you to sit down. I need to sit down. Oh God." He sat down placing his head in his hands.

"Yea, Nate? What's wrong?" He was really scaring me.

"Mitchie, we weren't always Connect Three, at one time, we were called No One Dies. Until one of us did, his name was Greg, and he was Shane's best and closest friend. His brother."

I just looked at him. "Waiting for a punch line here, Nate." Sierra commented. Jason shook his head and hung it low, sad on behalf of everyone. I wasn't sure what made me do it. I got up and grabbed my sweater and the car keys.

"Mitchie! What are you doing? You're gonna break curfew!" lectured Sierra. I turned around at her and glared saying, "I just screwed up, royally, and even though he has got some serious explaining to do," I took a pointed glance at Nate and Jason, "I still love him. I'm going to fix this and I'm going to fix this right now. Curfew be damned." Everyone was quiet for a good minute.

"Well don't just stand there, get your asses in gear! Let's go!" Caitlyn shouted, stirring everyone and ushering us out to the car.

"So I get why the guys are coming, why are you coming?" I asked as we drove to the guys townhouse about ten minutes away.

"A number of reasons really, we wanted to say bye to the boys, moral support for you, and this is just so much better than watching Rachel Ray." she joked, trying to lighten the mood. With the way Nate and Jason were looking at each other, and at me, I could tell there was a battle ahead, if not then a cry fest. Personally, I'd take the battle, since we usually made out afterwards, but the cry fest? Too hard to handle the aftermath of. When we pulled up to the apartment, we could hear things breaking as we climbed the stairs, never a good sign when Shane's in there all by himself. I started running. I ran right to the door and started pounding on it, waiting for him to open the door, waiting for him to explain what was going on. Nate finally caught up and opened the door for me. The mess we found upon entering was nothing short of disastrous.

There was broken glass everywhere, some with blood on them. Shane himself was no where to be found. Nate and Jason shared a quick, scared look before bolting for the bathroom. "What's going on??" I yelled after them.

"Stay there Mitchie!" yelled Jason. My brow furrowed, yea, okay sure. I took off after them, closely followed by Caitlyn and Sierra. We found them in the bathroom Shane on the floor, crying, with a razor blade in his hand. His hand was cut from the glass, and it looked like that wasn't all he wanted cut.

"No!" I shouted, rushing into the bathroom, dropping to my knees in front of him. "Shane don't do this! Don't!"

"Mitchie, I told you to stay out there." Nate said, exasperated. I looked at Shane, he had this look in his eyes, almost like he was ashamed. I shook my head.

"The man that I love is in here and he's hurt, what makes you think I could stay outside, away from him?" I asked, never breaking my eye contact with Shane. He had to see, he had to understand how much I loved him. How much we all loved him. What he stood to lose.

"Come one baby, just put it down and talk to me." I coaxed. "I love you. Don't do this." After what seemed like forever, he looked me square in the eye and said, "Get out."

It felt like someone had punched me right in the stomach. "Get out!" he yelled this time. I moved back from him. Trying not to believe what was happening. After having the best night of both of our lives, this is what happens. Why wouldn't he just tell me what was wrong? "Shane. I'm not leaving." I said firmly. He needed me, he needed all of us.

"Yes, yes you are. I don't want you here. I don't want you." Not going to cry, not going to cry. I chanted to myself in my head.

"You don't mean that." I tried, fighting back the tears, hating that my cracking voice was giving me away.

"Yes, I do. Now leave. I don't want you here." I shook my head, not letting myself believe what he was saying. It couldn't be true. It just couldn't. After everything we'd been through, he didn't want me? After all the promises, I love you's, fights and make-ups and everything else, he picked now to decide that he didn't want me? I just wanted to help him, love him, anything for him. But he wanted nothing to do with me.

I slowly stood up, knees shaking, and I started to walk towards the door, finally I broke into a run. I ran all the way down the hall down the stairs and into the lobby. I ran right out into the parking lot and into the car. The tears started falling and I drove away, slightly noticing Caitlyn and Sierra in my rearview mirror running out of the building after me. The speed limit was 35 but I was pushing 60 going down the road. It had rained earlier that night and the road was slippery, not caring I kept pushing the car, letting the tears fall, not paying attention to my direction. Suddenly I saw headlights coming my way and I swerved to miss them, but missing the road itself instead. The wheels slipped out from under me and I felt myself spin, then, everything just went black.

CPOV--

"Maybe she just needed some time to cool off." suggested Sierra.

"Since when is driving away angry, hurt, sad and confused a good idea? It's dangerous." I answered. I dialed Nate, who was still upstairs dealing with Shane. "Nate toss out your car keys, I'm going to find Mitchie."

"Don't bring her back here Cait, it's only gonna make things worse." he warned over the phone while he tossed the keys out the window which Sierra caught. "Be careful, okay?" he asked.

"Don't worry Nate, we'll bring the car back safe." I answered, he loved that car.

"Not the car, you, Caity, you be careful. I've got a really bad feeling." I looked up to the open window where he was looking and nodded. "I'll be careful. Take care of Shane, he better be ready to do some major apologizing to his girlfriend tomorrow."

I saw him nod and we got in the car and drove down the road we'd seen Mitchie take off on.

We hadn't driven far when we saw a car parked sideways across the road, and another car upside down on the side of the road. As we got closer, we recognized it as Mitchie's car.

"Mitchie!" screamed Sierra. I stopped the car dead and leapt out of it, Sierra hot on my heels. We rushed over to the driver's side where we saw her scratched and bleeding.

"Call 9-1-1!" I shouted, Sierra quick-dialing and frantically telling the operator about the accident.

I reached my hand in and placed it on her neck. There was a pulse, a faint one, but she was still alive. How much longer? We couldn't be sure.

"Tell them to get here now. I mean NOW." I shouted, panicking. I could usually keep a level head, but this was my best friend, lying upside down in a ditch. The ambulance showed up about three minutes later, Sierra drove in the ambulance with her and I drove the car back. When I got there, I stormed up to the apartment, not bothering to knock. They were in the living room now, sitting talking. It looked like they might've been praying. When they saw me Nate stood up, looking relieved. Then he saw my facial expression.

"What's wrong, Caity?" I didn't look at him. I looked dead at Shane.

"Mitchie's on the way to the hospital right now. She got in an accident, we think it was from her crying too much to see the road. She's barely had a pulse when we found her." I said. "She could have died tonight. She still might."

Shane looked at me, then at Nate and Jason. Then at the ceiling. "Lord, what have I done?"

"You know damn well what you did. And you better fucking fix it. Now I'm going to the hospital, because someone has to call her parents. Are you coming or not? Shane and Jason go separately, I can barely look at you right now." I turned on my heel and stormed away, followed by Nate, followed by Jason and Shane. He better fix it. He better get there and he better fix her.

okay i know not really a resolution but this was important and needed to be on its own, separate from everything else, I hope to have chapter 5 up asap.

please review!!
