Alex comes in, "Come on Jacob..Oh hey Mitchie! Jake, you go get your shower now. I'm done."
"OK...umm...I'll talk to you later The Mitchie Torres" He smiles and walks out.
"Well come on Mitch! I'm tired!"
I get up and follow Alex to her room. We end up falling asleep in the same position we did the night before.
Except this time, I knew Alex would soon be mine. And that hope made me fall asleep with a huge smile on my face.

"Psss...The Mitchie Torres...wake up...wake up!"
"Mitchie can't come to the phone right now please leave a message after the beep...beep!"
"Hey The Mitchie Torres. I was talking to Lexy this morning about you and she admitted that she was in love with you. She's downstairs right now, waiting for you."
"Ugghh..tell her I'll be down in an hour...she can wait..."
"She's naked"
"I'M COMING ALEX!" I get up and I'm almost out the door when I hear Jacob laughing,
"I was kidding dude!"
"I hate you."
"Love you too."
"Now, WHY DID YOU WAKE ME UP!"
"To discuss the plan."
"OK. Fine. What's the plan?"
"Not so fast. First things first, your parents are going to Hawaii on vacation for a week. I convinced them to let you stay here while their gone."
"Hawaii? Why are they in Hawaii?"
"Before I came here I entered a contest and the winner got a 2 person week long trip to Hawaii. I gave it to your parents and convinced them to go. If my plan is going to work you have to be here."
"You gave up those tickets for me and Alex?"
"Of course I did. You and Lexy are like my little sisters. You are the happiest when your with her, and she's the happiest when she's with you. A big brothers job is to make their little sister happy."
I run over to Jacob and hug him, "Thank you Jake. You have no idea how much that means to me."
"You can pay me back by never breaking Alex's heart."
"I would never hurt her."
"I know The Mitchie Torres, I know."
"So what's the plan?"
"Before we get to the plan, you have to break up with Shane."
"What! I can't hurt him."
"If you want to be with Lex then you have to. You can't be with her and Shane."
I thought about it for a second, "OK, give me the phone."
"You're going to dump him over the phone? Don't you think that's a little harsh?"
"I'm not dumping him over the phone. I'm telling him to meet me at the park in 30"
"Oh OK."
He hands me the phone and I call Shane. He agrees to meet at the park in 30 minutes.
"Oh, and one more thing The Mitchie Torres. You need to come back crying."
"Why?"
"Because you're upset about the breakup with Shane."
"But I won't be"
"Yes, you will. It says so in the plan."
"Why though?"
"Just do it!"
"Fine.."
XxX
I look at the time on my phone and sigh. Where is he? Shane was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago. I don't have time for this. Ugh.
"Mitch?"
"Well finally. It's about time you got her. You were supposed to be here 10 minutes ago!"
"Sorry. Traffic" Shane explains
"OK."
"What did you want to meet here for?" He says, sitting down next to me on the bench.
"Umm..I don't know how to say this Shane. I really don't want to hurt you and I love you but I just don't think th-"
"You finally realized it didn't you!" Shane says with a huge smile.
"Realized what?"
"That you love Alex!"
My mouth dropped open, "H-how did you k-know that?"
"I've known for 2 years Mitch. Me dating you was only to make you realize that what you feel with Alex is nothing you could ever feel with me or anyone else for that matter. I'm sorry for leading you on like that but it's the only way I thought I could help."
"But Jason, he said you wanted to have sex."
Is it just me or are you fucking confused too? Because I honestly have no idea what the hell is going on.
Yeah, Mitchie. I'm just as lost as you are.
Good. Glad to know I'm not the only one Mitch. Wait, why in the hell am I talking to myself?
"I said that because I know he would tell you."
"So your not hurt?"
"No, I'm happy for you" Shane's says still smiling
"OK, that's good but I'm still confused."
"I'll explain later. Now, go get your girl Torres!"
I smile, "Will do Captain!"
I start to walk off but stop when I remember what Jacob told me.
"Oh, and one more thing The Mitchie Torres. You need to come back crying."
"Why?"
"Because you're upset about the breakup with Shane."
"But I won't be"
"Yes, you will. It says so in the plan."
"Oh and Shane?"
"What?"
"If anyone asks you broke up with me."
"Why?"
"Long story, no time. Please, just do it."
"OK."
And with that I head home, turning on the waterworks. Those acting classes I took when I was 10 are really paying off right now.

Author's Note:
I'm sorry about the short chapter. I don't have a lot of time to write right now and figured a little update would be better than none. Was I right?
