"Alex-" Mitchie said, walking towards her.
"Don't!" Alex yelled."Don't touch me." She yelled again, dodging Mitchie's grasp and running to her door, slamming it shut behind her.
Alex ran up to her room as fast as her feet could take her, and slammed the door behind her.
"How could i have been so stupid?" She yelled at herself as she paced her room, tears still pouring out and not letting up anytime soon. As she settled at the spot near the window going over everything that just happened in her head, Mitchie burst through the door.
"Alex, let me explain." Mitchie begged, tears threatening to fall from her eyes too.
"Explain what Mitchie? How you lied to me? That did NOT look like a 'just friends' kiss to me." Alex yelled across the room.
"I am sorry Alex, i don't know why i lied to you about not seeing anyone. I just liked you so much." Mitchie explained. If Alex didn't look mad before, she sure as hell did now.
"Don't you dare even go there." Alex screamed as she got up in Mitchie's face. "That is NOT how you treat someone you supposedly like Mitchie. I thought you were different, but you aren't. You are just like every other rockstar just aiming for another notch in their belt."
"Alex-" Mitchie begged.
"Don't. Just get out." Alex whispered as she turned her back. Mitchie attempted to touch Alex's arm but Alex shook her off. Mitchie's tears ran down her face like a dam in her eyes just broke. When Alex heard the door close, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She broke down, every cry and weep signalling another piece of her heart shattering.
Mitchie walked down the stairs, her tears falling down her face faster then she could wipe them away. As she walked out of Alex's house, she walked straight past the dumbfounded Miley and straight to her car. As Miley got in, all Mitchie said was, "Take me home."
"What just happened?" Miley asked, honestly completely confused. Mitchie stayed silent.
"Were you seeing her?" Miley continued, getting angry now. Mitchie's silence didn't even budge.
"Mitchie! Answer me." Miley yelled as she grabbed Mitchie's face and made her look at her.
"Just take me home Miley. NOW!" Mitchie yelled back. Miley look taken aback, she had never seen Mitchie like this in all the time they'd known each other. This was going to me a long drive.
One month later...
Los Angeles, California.
"Mitchie! Mitchie! Hello?" A tall, dark haired man said loudly clicking his fingers infront of Mitchie's face.
"What?" Mitchie said reluctantly pulling herself out of her train of thought.
"Can you focus please? We still have alot of songs to write." He said getting frustrated with Mitchie's lack of attention.
"You mean i have alot of songs to write, and you have alot of songs to sit there and watch me write." Mitchie snapped as she got up from the table they were sitting at and walked away.
"Mitchie! Get back here now." He yelled, but it was too late. Mitchie was already heading out of the studio and going for a walk. She was staring at the ground, walking aimlessly. When she looked up, a raven-haired girl walking up ahead with her back to her caught Mitchie's attention.
"Alex! Alex! Wait up." Mitchie yelled as she ran to catch up with the girl. She pulled the girls arm and turned her around to face her, but was met with a stranger's face.
"Oh, i'm sorry. I thought you were someone else." Mitchie said both awkwardly and disappointed.
"It's okay," The girl said. "Hey! You are Mitchie Torres, can i have your autograph?" The girl said excitedly. At that moment, a beep from a car pulling up on the curb sounded.
"Mitchie! Get in." Said a brown haired girl. Mitchie smiled apologetically at the girl she had just mistaken for Alex and got in the car.
"Caitlyn. Just the person i needed to see." Mitchie said, genuinely happy to see one of her oldest friends.
"Want to get some coffee and talk about it?" Caitlyn said, fully aware of the reason for Mitchie's depression.
"Yes please." Is all Mitchie said as they pulled away from the curb and headed north.
"Have you and Miley talked?" Caitlyn enquired.
"Nope, we haven't talked in a month since everything happened. I hurt her alot, but i just didn't want her anymore. I wanted Alex...i want Alex." Mitchie admitted.
"So you two are over?" Caitlyn asked. Caitlyn was one of very few people her knew that Mitchie was gay and that she was seeing Miley.
"Yep." Is all Mitcie said.
"Still no word from Alex?" Caitlyn asked.
"No, she won't return my calls. I really hurt her Caitlyn, but she won't give me the time of day." Mitchie said sadly.
"Yeah you did Mitch..."Caitlyn said.
"Thanks for the honesty; you aren't very good at this cheering up thing." Mitchie cut in.
"Shut up, you didn't let me finish." Caitlin said. "All i am saying is, you hurt her and you lost her trust. You can't just expect her to wake up and forgive you, you have to work for that and work for her trust again." Caitlyn advised.
"I know, and i am willing to do that Caitlyn. But how when she won't give me the time of day, she won't answer my calls and she won't return them either." Mitchie said desperately, tears threatening to fall again.
"Well, in the words of Jason Grey, 'You are a rockstar dude, use it.'" Caitlyn quoted with a smile. A smile crept onto Mitchie's face, and idea blossoming inside her head.
"What are you smiling at?" Caitlyn asked, narrowing her eyes.
"I've got to go." Mitchie said, jumping up from the table they were sitting at faster than Caitlyn could comprehend.
Grand Prairie, Texas.
Harper stormed into Alex's room and opened the blinds and the windows.
"About time this room gets some air." Harper said as she walked by Alex's bed. Alex stirred and groaned, waking up.
"Harper, get out. It's early. And close the blinds on your way out." Alex demanded cranky before shoving a pillow over her face to hide her eyes from the sudden burst of light through her windows.
"It's ten in the afternoon Alex." Harper corrected her.
"Leave me alone Harper." Alex said, turning on her side fighting the tears.
"It's been a month Alex, you can't keep doing this to yourself." Harper said sitting next to Alex. Alex didn't say anything.
"Fine, you leave me no choice." Harper said in a stern voice as she got up and left the room.
"Finally." Alex groaned before going back to sleep. A few minutes later, Harper returned with a bucket of cold water. Before Alex suspected anything, Harper threw the bucket of cold water over Alex. Alex jumped up screaming faster than Harper's eyes could follow.
"What the hell Harper?" Alex yelled, getting angrier by the second.
"If you won't snap out of this, i'll snap you out of it Alex Russo. She lied to you Alex, there are worse things going on in the world like, poverty, global warming, war! Now get your ass in that shower, shave that forest on your legs and get dressed. We are going out to breakfast!" Harper yelled right back before turning on her heel and storming out of the room.
"I really hate you sometimes Harper." Alex yelled after her as she grabbed a clean towel and walked into her bathroom.
"I really hate you too Alex." Harper yelled back before Alex closed the door. Obviously that was a lie on both parts. They were both the sister that the other never had.
One hot shower, and set of clean clothes, Alex was ready to be dragged out to lunch.
"How are you feeling?" Harper asked Alex after they ordered.
"Superb." Alex replied, not tearing her eyes away from the window.
"Alex, talk to me please." Harper begged, she hated seeing her best friend this way.
"Do you really want to know how i'm feeling Harper." Alex said, finally making eye contact with Harper.
"Yes Alex, i do." She replied.
"I am so angry. I'm angry because she lied to me, I'm angry because she hurt me, i am angry because i'm so sad. Then i just want to cry. Then that makes me so angry, because she has that power over me. I hate that i love her, i hate her for making me fall for her." Alex said, getting so angry and upset again. Tears were streaming down her face now.
"Wait, what? Back up a bit. Did you say you love her?" Harper replied, stunned. She knew alex had strong feelings, but this was news to her.
"Yes Harper, i love her. I hate her, but i love her. I want to throw her off a cliff then run to the bottom and catch her!" Alex ranted, her voice threatening to betray her and break at any second.
Harper looked at her broken best friend and felt so helpless. Before she could walk around the table and hug Alex, her phone rang. A Los Angeles number? She didn't know who could be calling her from there, she's never had the pleasure of knowing anybody from there.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hi is this Harper? My name is Mitchie Torres."
"Yes, this is Harper. Give me a minute." Harper said.
"I'll be back in a second Alex." Harper said, excusing herself from the table. Alex merely nodded clearly uninterested. Once Harper was safely out of Alex's earshot, she put the phone to her ear.
"Yes, i know who you are Mitchie. What do you want?" Harper said, stern. She always had Alex's back.
"I need your help getting Alex back." Mitchie said straight to the point.
"And why should i help you? You really hurt her Mitchie, she is an absolute mess. Today is the first day i have gotten her out of the house in a month." Harper spoke into the phone.
"Because i love her Harper, and i never wanted to be the reason for that smile leaving her beautiful face. I want to make things right." Mitchie admitted. Harper couldn't help but notice the sincerity in her voice.
"Okay. I'll help you. I'm not doing this for you, i'm doing this for her because as much as she won't ever admit it to anyone but me, she loves you too and she's a wreck without you." Harper decided.
Harper spent almost half an hour on the phone listening to Mitchie's plan. Alex hadn't even noticed Harper's delayed absence when she finally returned.
"Come on Alex, we are going for a drive. First we will stop by your house and get some things." Harper concluded.
"Fine." Is all Alex said, still clearly uninterested.
Hours later... "
"We are going to a concert." Harper revealed truthfully.
"Who's concert?" Alex asked curiously.
"Oh, you will see." Harper said before turning up the music so Alex couldn't ask any more questions. Alex merely stared back out of the window. Half an hour later, they arrived at a massive arena.
"Get changed into something nicer." Harper demanded.
"Here?" Alex asked uncomfortable.
"Yes, hurry up." Harper said getting bossy. While Alex climbed into the backseat and changed, Harper secretly texted Mitchie.
Harper: We are here. (:
Mitchie: Okay, i'll get my manager to meet you out front.
Harper: Okay, see you in a bit. Good luck.
"Who are you texting?" Alex asked, climbing back into the front seat.
"No one." Harper lied."Let's go." She continued. As the girls approached the Arena, Alex caught sight of the massive sign. 'MITCHIE TORRES LIVE'
"Harper!" Alex yelled. "What are we doing here?" she yelled again, getting angry.
"Fixing your life, now come on." Harper said, grabbing her arm and dragging Alex along. A woman met both the girls out the front and took them back stage. As they were lead to the side of the stage, Alex could see Mitchie finishing her song on stage and her heart broke all over again as she laid eyes on the girl who broke it in the first place. She turned to leave but Alex caught her and pushed her onto the stage. Mitchie saw the commotion and smiled.
"Los Angeles, i would like you to meet a very special friend of mine. Alex Russo, everybody." Mitchie smiled as she spoke into the microphone and grabbed Alex's hand to lead her out onto the stage. As Alex stood there not making eye contact with Mitchie, Mitchie picked up her guitar and began to play a song acoustically.
Did you forget Did you regret But somewhere we went wrong So now I guess We had it all But somewhere we went wrong Somewhere we went wrong And at last But somewhere we went wrong
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
I won't forget us
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
As Mitchie finished the song that she had written for Alex, the raven haired girl finally looked up and made eyes contact with her.
"I'm so sorry Alex."She said, holding her hand over the microphone. Alex just stared at her, then without warning walked over to Mitchie and took the guitar and microphone off of her. She was going to sing too.
