CHAPTER TEN: WHAT HURTS THE MOST

"Alright, class, time for me to start talking about the Christmas Talent Show!" Mrs. Nunez was talking way to brightly and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. "The Christmas Talent Show is something you don't have to audition for, you just sign up. If you sign up, your grade gets a one point boost. If you win, you get a five point boost. The students who come to watch will vote. Who would like to sign up?"

I raised my hand. Mrs. Nunez smiled and handed me a piece of paper with a bunch of details on it. I stuffed it in my backpack. As she continued talking, I looked at the date on the board: December 5

Three months. Three months since I found out Shane's little secret. Three months since I told him it was over. Three months since he made a huge public apology that I denied.

I've changed. I'm still fun-loving Mitchie, but I got my hair cut and dyed black, my nail polish is usually black, my clothes are usually black and red. Everyone says I look pretty. But when I walked into school like this for the first time, while everyone else was smiling at me and complimenting me, Shane's eyes glazed over with grief. He seemed to say silently, I know I did this to you. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, take me back, give me another chance.

As the bell rang, I shook my head, gathered my belongings, and left the room. I headed down the hallway towards the library for study hall period. I stopped short outside the closet door when I heard a familiar voice. I pressed my ear against the wood and listened closely.

"I still can't believe I actually gave in to Tess' stupid threat. She wasn't really going to hurt Mitchie. I'm the one who hurt Mitchie. Stupid Tess. If she wasn't a girl, I'd knock her teeth in."

I backed away from the door and continued walking to the library. I cringed when a few seconds later, I heard those familiar footsteps following me.

"Mitchie!"

I turned around. "Can I help you, Mr. Gray?"

His face saddened a bit. I have to admit, he looked horrible. His hair wasn't perfect like he had always wanted it to be, he had bags under his eyes, and his clothing choice was…not Shane. "Mitchie, can't we talk?"

"Why? There is nothing to talk about. I was your girlfriend for three weeks, you were dating another girl for two of those weeks, and then you didn't chase after me when I left with a broken heart. I loved you, Shane. I thought we had something, but you know what? Apparently you didn't feel the same way. And yes, I did go through this little transformation because of you. You broke my heart. And this isn't the first time, either. I can't be with someone who will keep breaking me over and over again, I just can't." I kissed his cheek. "Bye, Shane."

I continued walking towards my destination. When I got there, I pulled out my notebook and started writing lyrics. I smiled at what I had written. Caitlyn and Nate came in a few minutes later and whispered, "What are you writing?"

"Song for the talent show thing. Could you guys do it with me? Nate, drums? Cait, keyboard? Maybe we can get Jase to do guitar?"

They nodded. Cait smiled sadly. "Sounds great. You know, we heard you and Shane. When you left, he started sobbing. He had to go to the nurse."

"Serves the stupid ass right." I winced after I realized what I had just said. Shane was a jerk, but he was nowhere near an ass. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. It's just…he thinks I'll forgive him like I did last time…but this time the pain is worse. He didn't just mess with my feelings, he messed with my heart." I shook my head, sighing.

Don't say that you're sorry

For breaking every inch of my heart

You know, doing this show is going to do a lot more than boost my grade.

It's going to teach Shane a lesson.

a/n: again, short chapter, but it really is just to show what feelings are going around…this really isn't a chapter with super important information. Please review!
