Chapter 10
"What the hell is going on here?" asked a furious Jason as he stood in the door surveying the scene in front of him disapprovingly. Shane was still straddling my waist in nothing but his boxer briefs with a clear tent to them. Shane's hands nervously pulling the sheet covering my chest trying to make sure that nothing was showing. I was laying motionless on the bed under him my arms still frozen above my head where Shane had pinned them. I closed my eyes tightly, hoping that when I opened them it would all be a dream and I would wake up in Shane's arms as if we were never caught.
However when I opened my eyes and looked at the door I saw not only Jason but also Nate, Caitlyn, and Ella looking in the room surprised. "Well, are either of you going to get some common sense and get dressed or are you going to just sit there like idiots about to make a giant mistake?" Jason yelled sternly.
Suddenly Nate chuckled and said "Shane I don't think this is what Mitchie's parents had in mind when they asked us to keep her out of trouble."
"Shane get off her now and get downstairs. We need to have a family meeting. Mitchie don't think you aren't going to get in trouble for this too. We will talk about this tomorrow. Understood?" Jason said still angry. When Mitchie nodded timidly he said "Good, now get dressed and go back to your own room. I don't want to find you in here again." Jason turned to the group behind him and said "Nick go downstairs you are a part of this meeting too. Girls, go back to sleep." He closed the door to give us privacy to get dressed but left it open a crack to insure that nothing else would happen.
"I'm so sorry baby." Shane said brushing some hair out of my eyes looking down at me.
"It's ok. I don't regret a single second of it, boyfriend." I said smiling at him before leaning up and kissing him quickly.
"Mmm, I love hearing you call me your boyfriend." Shane said holding the back of my neck and pulling me into another kiss.
"I love being able to call you my boyfriend." I quickly pecked his lips before saying "However we should get dressed before Jason comes back in here."
Shane dropped his head to my shoulder and sighed "You're right, I'm sorry." He gently kissed my shoulder quickly before rolling off of me. I sat up holding the sheet to my chest as I looked around trying to find where Shane had thrown my clothes. I found my bra at the bottom of the bed and threw that on while Shane walked to his dresser and pulled out some sweatpants and a t-shirt.
"Shane, do you happen to remember where you threw my shirt?" I asked when I couldn't find it.
"Umm, I can honestly say I was more interested in getting it as far away from your body as possible than remembering where I threw it. Sorry." Shane said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.
"That's okay." I said before walking over to his clothes hamper and pulling the plaid button up he had worn today and slipping it on. I turned towards him as I buttoned the shirt up and said, "Since you lost one of my shirts, you lose one of yours."
I started to walk out the door when I suddenly felt Shane grab my wrist and spin me around pulling me close. "Just incase my brothers kill me when I get downstairs…" Shane trailed off before planting a passionate kiss on my lips.
"SHANE JOSEPH GREY!" Jason yelled angrily.
Shane broke away reluctantly and rested his forehead against mine still staring at my lips longingly. "I should get down there." He said after a moment "I'll see you later, girlfriend." He whispered before pecking my lips and heading down stairs.
As soon as he was far enough down stairs I said "Clear" in a normal voice. Caitlyn and Ella's doors immediately opened and the three of us silently crept downstairs to listen to what was being said.
As we neared the living room we heard Jason ranting, "How could you be so irresponsible? Mitchie's parents trust us and put her under our combined custody. We are suppose to keep her safe here, keep her out of trouble." Jason was standing in front of the couch that Joe was sitting on glaring at him with Nate sitting on a chair slightly out of the way looking just as worried and upset as Jason.
"Jason, relax, it's not that big of a deal." Shane said and began to speak again but was cut off by Nate this time.
"No, Shane, this is a big deal. Mitchie is two years younger than you. Mitchie was put under your care to protect her from harm both physical and emotional and you just jump into bed with her. I heard her tell you that she had a bad dream and didn't want to be alone and you took advantage of that fact. You as well as Jason and I know that we can't be in full committed relationships with the girls because of the label and our schedule. After this summer you know that we will barely be able to see them. None of us should have even begun flirting with the girls. Jason and I know its wrong but we knew to try and not get the girls too attached to us that is why we haven't asked them out or kissed them. We have all used the girls' affection to some extent. But you, you used her physically and you played with her emotions way too much Shane. What happens when she finds that out? Huh? You know about her tendency to run away and get in trouble and you know she and the other girls are perfectly capable of getting away from us no matter how closely we watch them. So you tell me Shane, what do you think is going to happen when she finds out you were just using her for your own pleasure?" Nate spat out his voice full of acid.
"Look, it's not like that okay." Shane said angrily.
Caitlyn, Ella, and I looked at each other with tears in our eyes. Slowly we all rounded the corner to look at them.
Upon hearing our entrance the guys all looked up and noticed the tears in our eyes.
"Shit." Nate whispered.
"So you were all just using us?" Ella asked quietly.
"You just made us believe you liked us and wanted us to stay around for a long time so that we would be less of a hassle for you. So your job to watch Mitchie would be easier." Caitlyn asked still crying
"You played all of us as fools and it worked." I whispered heartbroken thinking about how vulnerable I had made myself to Shane. He had been the first person I had ever let get that close to me and he was just using me. "Come on girls." I said and turned around walking back up the stairs.
"Where are we going Mitchie?" Caitlyn asked with tears still flowing down her cheeks.
"Yea, our parents are all out of town and we don't have a car" Ella said almost sobbing now.
"We will figure something out." I said my brain trying to make a plan "Pack your bags girls." I said before walking into my room. We all speed packed and I called a cab to come get us. The guys stood outside our doors trying to apologize but none of us paid attention.
Thirty minutes later the cab pulled up and honked. Caitlyn Ella and I were all fully dressed and packed now. Without saying a word the three of us carried our bags out and loaded them into the back of the taxi van ignoring the guys desperate attempts to get us to stay. Nate had tried to grab Caitlyn's bags away from her and take them back inside but stopped when she penetrated him with an icy glare and told him to move.
Jason was on his knees begging Ella to stay and apologizing profusely. Ella however didn't even look at him and continued to put her things in the trunk before sliding into the van next to Caitlyn and putting her seat belt on. Jason and Nate desperately pleading with them until Caitlyn finally closed the sliding door and locked it expecting me to sit in the front seat.
While this was going on Shane grabbed my hips tightly from behind while I finished loading my bags and closed the trunk and said "Baby, please don't go. Please. You and I just got together. We could make it work. Screw what the label says and screw what the rest of the world says. Think of what we could be please. You mean so much to me and I really really like you. Please don't go." I realized that he was crying but I knew he was an actor so I didn't even think twice about it.
I spun around quickly and pushed him away from me and in a voice dripping in heartbreak and contempt I whispered out "Don't touch me you ass. I can't believe I actually was falling in love with you. I can't believe I let you touch me. I thought you were different but you are nothing more than a selfish, egotistical, jerk who only thinks about himself and doesn't care about others feelings as long as you get what you wants. You disgust me." I yelled with tears pouring in down my cheeks.
I turned to get into the van aware that everyone had stopped to look at the two of us even the cab driver was enthralled. What shocked me though was that as soon as I turned to the van Shane crumpled to the ground landing painfully on his knees sobbing and said in a weak voice "But I'm in love with you."
I opened the car door and looked back at the man that I would always love as he sat in the driveway on his knees and cried as he stared at me. I gave him a weak smile and said, "You are a much better actor than you are given credit for. Knock 'em dead." And then climbed into the van and closed the door.
Understanding the situation the cab driver didn't even bother waiting for directions he just started to drive. When we got to the end of the driveway I looked back and saw all the guys in the same position as when we left staring at the van. Suddenly Shane jumped up and started to run after the van desperately. However, just then the cab turned onto the road and began driving down the street. I continued to watch Joe run after us falling further and further behind until we could no longer see him.
"Where are we going Mitchie?" Ella asked realizing that the cab was just aimlessly driving now.
"The airport." I said immediately.
