SHANE'S POV

I walked into the room, and froze at the sight in front of me.

Nate and Mitchie. In a very intimate embrace. I couldn't even try to pretend that it didn't hurt to see that. No matter how much I tried to deny it to myself, I knew my feelings for her were still there.

'What the fuck?' I said loudly and they sprang apart immediately, Mitchie's face bright red.

'Sh-Shane?' she stammered, meeting my furious eyes.

'What the hell are you doing here?'

She looked away from me, looking desperately at Nate for help.

'Shane!' Nate said awkwardly. 'I thought you were going out?'

'Change of plans,' I scowled at Mitchie, who was still very close to Nate.

'Oh …' Nate ran his fingers through his hair, not knowing what to say.

Mitchie was looking anywhere but me.

'Why are you hanging out with my friends?' I asked her.

'It's none of your business if she wants to be friends with us,' Jason said suddenly.

'Stay out of this, Jason,' I snapped.

Jason glared at me.

'Can I talk to Mitchie alone?' I asked, taking a deep breath.

Nate looked at me suspiciously. Mitchie looked nervous.

'Why?' he asked.

'None of your business,' I replied.

'She doesn't want to talk to you,' Nate said angrily.

Mitchie laid a hand on his arm to calm him down. 'It's okay Nate,' she said.

'Bye Nate,' I smirked.

Nate glared at me. 'Come on Jason,' he said.

'Be nice,' Jason told me.

I rolled my eyes.

'And don't you dare give her a hard time,' Nate warned me.

They left, shutting the door behind them.

Mitchie glanced at me, and I could tell she was afraid to be alone with me. This made me smile a little.

'So …' she said uncomfortably.

'Why are you trying to get close to my band mates?' I said, trying to get her to look at me.

'They asked to hang out with me,' Mitchie told me uneasily.

'Why didn't you say no?'

'Because,' Mitchie glared at me, meeting my eyes for the first time. 'They're my friends, Shane. What happened between us shouldn't stop me from becoming friends with them. They're great guys.'

'You don't deserve to be their friend!' I scowled and I saw an expression of hurt flash across Mitchie's face.

'No, Shane,' she said quietly. 'You don't deserve them as friends. I feel sorry for them. I'm sorry that they have to put up with you, because they don't deserve to put up with all your bullshit.'

'Excuse me?' I crossed my arms, a hard expression on my face.

'You heard me,' Mitchie replied.

'Don't you dare talk to me like that,' I snapped. 'I'm freaking Shane Gray.'

'So what?' she replied, her voice rising in her anger. 'What's so special about being Shane Gray?'

'Everyone loves me,' I replied straight away, my voice smug. 'I'm famous.'

Mitchie was staring at me in disbelief. 'Wow,' she muttered, and I saw in surprise, that there were tears in her eyes. 'You're almost right Shane. A lot of people love you, but not everyone. Your fans love you, but that's only because they don't know what you're really like. You know Nate and Jason? They used to love you. But you're making it too hard for them. You're a dick, Shane.'

Mitchie was blinking away the tears. I almost felt guilty, seeing how close she was to crying. I always seemed to make her cry.

'Mitchie …' I said softly, taking a step towards her.

'No, Shane!' she scowled fiercely at me. 'I can't believe that I thought you might be a nice guy, behind all your problems. I was wrong. You know what? You're a fucking asshole.'

I didn't reply. No one else spoke to me like Mitchie. No one could affect me like she did.

'Mitch, I'm –' I began but she cut off.

'What did you call me?' she said dangerously, narrowing her eyes.

'Mitchie,' I sighed. 'I'm …'

'You're what?' she asked.

'I …'

I couldn't say. Was it that hard to say 'I'm sorry'? Two words and I couldn't get them out of my mouth. Shane Gray didn't apologise. Ever.

She was watching me curiously. 'Are you trying to apologise?' she asked in disbelief.

I ran my fingers through my hair awkwardly. 'Maybe …' I muttered.

A small smile appeared on her face. 'Then just do it Shane,' she said softly. 'Two words. It's not that hard.'

I couldn't. I met her eyes and saw the disappointment in them as the silence stretched on.

'Why's it so hard for you?' she broke the silence, crossing her arms and looked away from me in frustration.

'I don't know how,' I admitted quietly.

Her expression was hard as she stared at me.

'Shane Gray shouldn't be expected to apologise!' I added angrily, suddenly getting mad.

She rolled her eyes. 'Well maybe it's time you learn!' she snapped. 'You're a big boy, Shane. I don't even care if you say sorry to me! But your brother's deserve an apology, Shane. They're the ones who have had to put up with your crap!'

Damn it. She was right again. It was remarkable how guilty she could make me feel.

'Shane, you know what?' Mitchie said. 'I've given up on you. I really have. I used to think that maybe you were a nice guy … you really proved me wrong.'

'Whatever,' I mumbled. 'Stay away from my brothers, Mitchie.'

She was glaring harshly at me. 'Fuck off,' she said simply and left through the door Nate and Jason just had.

:O Smitchie drama! Haha, please review, it means so, so much! I'm on holidays for three weeks, so I have time to write.

Don't forget about Unbroken as well, guys! :) It's amazing… I'm really proud of Demi. If you've heard some of the songs tell me what you thought of them and which ones are you favourites! I don't know, cause I'm obsessed with them all hehe… anyways, UPDATE GUYS!
