My Past and My Future Collide
Chapter 10: Closer
A/N: Last chapter I said the next morning so it would be Sunday. Let's say it was Monday so anyway here is Chapter 10 enjoy
Mitchie and Trevor sat at the top of the beach still quiet. They had been there for 5 minutes and neither of them knew how to start this conversation.
"So…" Trevor said "About last night… I'm sorry if that was too fast" He said
"It's fine Trevor" Mitchie said "We both wanted it, well I know I did" She said blushing
"You don't have to second guess what you think I thought Mitchie, I wanted it too, and actually I have been wanting it for a while" He confirmed
"We've known each other how long?" She asked giggling
"A week" He replied smiling "Not long enough?" He asked cheekily
"I think it was long enough" She confirmed
"Good, look Mitchie, I've known you a week and we've became pretty good friends but I like you, a lot and I would like to get a little closer to you" he said moving closer
"I think you just did" She said smiling looking at him
"I didn't mean position wise" He said smiling "I meant feeling wise, if you like me too that is?" He asked his breath tickling her lips from the heat of it.
"Well, I like you a lot to, I really do" She smiles now her lips moving slightly closer
"I live in Hamilton, not far from New York you know?" He says
"Oh really, that's pretty close" She said
"Will… you be my girlfriend" He asked getting ever so closer.
This took Mitchie a little by surprise. Her first boyfriend, Mitchie was getting asked out. She was having some trouble registering it but managed to breathe. "Yes" She said quietly and let her lips land on his dancing with electricity from each other's body. Oh my god she had a boyfriend her body was screaming and squealing inside.
Well they kissed he let his warm hand graze and cup her cheek as her one arm went around his shoulder. Their lips were joined for a good couple of minutes until they pulled apart and Mitchie was blushing. "I think we figured this whole thing out" She said giggling
"I think we did" He agreed kissing her again and she returned it then they both pulled back
"Maybe we should go to breakfast" She said and he stood up helping her up.
They intertwined their hands walking close and head towards the mess hall smiling. Nothing could ruin this moment. Although they weren't the only two witnessing that moment, there was a third party to the will you be my girlfriend scene and that might not be a good thing. Maybe there was even a fourth.
During breakfast they told their friends and then they all congratulated them. Caitlyn was feeling like a seventh wheel since Sander was always near Peggy but she knew soon enough she would be with Nate. They all ate breakfast and then they walked out of the mess hall. Mitchie and Trevor were holding hands and Connie, Mitchie's mom was outside.
"Mitchie" She said and Mitchie saw her
"Trevor I'll meet up with you" She said letting go of his hand as he nodded his head and walked off her going to her mom "Hey mom" She said smiling
"Can we talk for a minute" Her mom asked
"Sure, I guess" Mitchie said and they walked to her mom's cabin "What's up"
"What's going on with you and Trevor?" her mom asked
"Nothing" Mitchie said not wanting to have this conversation
"Michelle Torres, you know in our family we don't lie" Her mom said
"I'm not" Mitchie said
"Mitchie, I saw you two on the beach this morning" She said
"You were spying!" Mitchie said mad
"No I saw you and wanted to talk to my daughter since I haven't for days" She said "I heard him ask you and saw you kiss why didn't you tell me" She asked
"It's not a big deal mom" Mitchie tried to reassure her mom
"Yea it is, you two are going to be apart after the fifth week, and I know how you were with…" Her mom was saying
"Don't finish that sentence" Mitchie said "Trevor lives in Hamilton, not that far plus why can't you just be happy for me" Mitchie asked
"Because you belong with Shane" Her mom said and Mitchie sighed
"Mom I don't. I liked Shane it was obvious okay to everyone I know that. He lied to me, letting me think he was going to be here when guess what, he wasn't. I cannot trust someone who lies to me. He hurt me, can't you understand that" Mitchie said
"Yeah I know that, but do you trust Trevor" Her mom asked
"I think I can, I'm willing to take that chance now support me or not but you can't stop me" Mitchie said
"Okay, but you know I hate to say I told you so" Her mom said
"Then don't say it" Mitchie snapped frustrated
"I hope I won't have to" Her mom said "Have a good day and don't lie next time be careful Mitchie I want what's best" her mom said nicely
"Yes mom, I will. Sometimes I need to learn from mistakes" She said "I already have once" Mitchie said leaving her moms cabin.
She was so frustrated. How could her mom defend Shane when he hurt her? Mitchie just got happy and no-one could ruin that. She sighed running her fingers through her hair and started towards her first class. She knew her mom was looking out for her, but sometimes you have to let yourself make your own mistakes. She was hoping this wasn't. Trevor wasn't a rebound and she felt for him. It wasn't going to change or disappear when Shane got back right? Or was it?
She really hoped it wasn't. Trevor was nice and kind and knew to be quiet if they needed to be silent and it was comfortable. He made Mitchie realize that she can do what she wants to be happy. Trevor made her realize that she didn't need Shane to be happy. He wasn't here and it wasn't the end of the world. She knew he was okay and that she had to live her life and she was doing just that.
She walked into dance and Tess was glaring at her."Hey Mitchie" she said in her fake voice
"What do you want Tess?" She asked annoyed
"Just wondering if Shane dumped you yet, since you are cheating" She asked her nose stuck up in the air
"For the last time, we weren't dating so he couldn't break up with me." Mitchie said loud but not loud enough to cause a scene
"Well you're not good enough for him and I'm sure he would love to know you're hooking up with Trevor."She said and Mitchie clicked
"You!" She screamed "You sent the pictures to him, why? it doesn't change anything we never dated" She was mad at Tess now
"Maybe I was, why does that bother you" Tess asked innocently
"Yes, mind your own fucking business and he has nothing to do with any of this, leave him out of this" Mitchie shouted
"You're still not good enough for him" Tess snarled
"Maybe I'm not but the last person I'll believe with that statement is you so save it, and make someone-else's life miserable because you are done messing with mine" Mitchie snapped and walked away as Tess groaned and sat down pressing send on the picture she recently took. To Tess Shane had everything to take Mitchie down, yet she didn't know that was the last thing he wanted to do, and see her kissing another guy that wasn't him.
"Ugh I hate that witch" Mitchie said sitting down beside Caitlyn
"Yeah, what was that all about" Caitlyn asked
"How I was "Cheating" on Shane and all this crap. She sent the pictures; I mean seriously what will that do? Absolutely nothing, she doesn't understand that I'm over him and he's over me." Mitchie said and Caitlyn agreed but knew Shane wasn't over he by any means.
Mitchie looked up to see Trevor looking at her with an are you okay look. She smiled and nodded her head and mouthed a thank you then paid attention to Brown you just entered the classroom for today's lesson. Mitchie noticed Tess just glaring at the front and hid a giggle. Tess thinks she was all that but Mitchie would stand up for herself, Tess no longer intimidated her, that was last year and people can really grow within a year. Mitchie did just that. She was stronger and not even Tess could tear that down.
"Okay so the camp fire was amazing" Brown said "Applause for all who performed and who in this class" He said and everyone clapped their hands. "So today we are working on pitches" He announced and started the lesson.
In New Jersey Jenny and Shane were still on the bench near the pond. Jenny was sitting there in a pair of light washed skinny jeans and a black t-shirt on. She was in a sweater as well. She was just shorter then Shane her hair let down and wavy near her shoulders but mostly straight. Her eyes were blue like an ocean. She had an amazing smile. She knew Shane used to come here to think, they were best friends back in the days. Jenny had just got back from an exchange program in Australia for her last semester of grade 11.
"So Shane what are you doing back in New Jersey. My mom said you were here a month or so ago for a couple of days?" She asked curiously
"I needed to get away" He said sighing
"Tough life" she asked sarcastically
"No, and don't be sarcastic" He said being polite
"Okay, sorry "She replied
"Can I tell you something and trust you to not tell anyone?" he asked her seriously
"Of course Shane" She said rubbing his hand for reassurance
"I think I'm done with Music" he said honestly and dropping his head
"Really, mind me asking why?" She said
"A long story" He said "I'm not feeling it anymore. I mean last summer brought it back but that's gone again"
"The girl's gone?" Jenny asked and Shane's head snapped up "Oh come on don't look surprised" Jenny said
"Yeah part of it. Just the record label wants what they want I did music because I love it not because it was my job" He said
"Yeah, understand completely" She smiled and squeezed his hand letting him know his secret was safe
"So Miss. Travel around the world how was Australia" He asked laughing and she giggled
"Good, I grew a little accent but I'm glad to be home" She said smiling "Glad I ran into you to. I haven't seen you in forever" She said
"Yeah I know, I'm glad to" He smiled
"Do you want to go grab a coffee?" She asked
"I would, but I can't. If I don't get back my parents will go crazy since I was in the hospital" He said
"Okay" She nods
"Well my parents are going out tonight, with yours I believe" He said "We can hang out then" he asked
"Sure, do you want to go to a movie" She asked
"Do you want to come over and rent one off the TV?" He asked
"Sure sounds good, we don't need to be mobbed, I prefer watching movies in peace and quiet" She said laughing
"Agreed" He says smiling "I'll see you around 7 Jenny" he said and started leaving
"Bye, and sure 7" She said and watched as he walked away and she smiled
She was amused how Shane Gray was bothered by a girl. She laughed a little. She was really good friends with Shane. They had lost contact a little but their parents kept them updated. She smiled that she would get to spend some time with him. He was glad to however she maybe felt a little different and closer to him then he did. He thought they were friends but did Jenny want more? Only time would tell, would he in time too?
It was 6:30 and Shane was watching TV on the couch with pizza in the oven. His parents were to leave but his mom was worrying and being paranoid as usual.
"Sweetie, are you sure you will be okay by yourself" His mom asked
"Mom, Jenny is coming over, she'll call you okay, go have fun" he said
"Jenny, oh okay have fun you two" She says winking then walking to the door
"Whatever mom" Shane says shaking his head and watching TV yet again
"Bye son" His dad said and left
"Bye" Shane replied and sighed "Finally" He said
He thought they would never leave him some peace. His mom had been asking him every 2 minutes for the last half hour it was driving him nuts. He just had a panic attack he wasn't dying they could breathe. He got his pizza out of the oven just before seven and sliced it. He brought it to the coffee table with two plates and napkins with soda for him and Jenny. On cue Jenny rang the doorbell and Shane went and answered it.
"Hey Jen I have pizza fresh out of the over if you want some" He asked smiling letting her in
"Smells and sounds great I'm starving" She said laughing taking off her sweater and shoes then walks into the living room sitting on the couch as he does after locking the door again
"So this alright?" he asks motioning to the pizza
"Are you kidding? I mean the best oven baked pizza ever" She said smiling taking a piece
"Only the best" He says taking a slice and taking a bite "So good too" he said with his mouth full and she rolled her eyes and kept eating watching the game which was currently on TV.
That was the best thing about Jen. She was a girl and trusts me when I say you would not mistake her otherwise. She was a tomboy as well. She was quite happy sitting at home watching a game and eating pizza then out at a party with a bunch of drunken people. She dressed like a girl but was chill doing whatever. Shane loves that about her and that she knew the real him before he was a singer not after, she knew who he was, the real Shane Gray.
They finally finished the pizza the whole thing and cleared the table and did the dishes. They walked back out seeing there was about 20 minutes left of the game. So they decided to watch it before starting a movie.
Jenny's eyes kept glancing over to Shane. He has changed a lot since they were little. His arms were huge with muscle and it was defined by the white wife beater he was currently wearing which clung to his body. Looked like his abs where mighty fine as well. He was in a pair of plaid pajama pants and socks.
Jenny was in a pair of Root's sweat pants. She wasn't in a mood to dress up, plus she was just hanging with Shane and watching a movie nothing new there. She was in t-shirt with a zip-up hooded sweater hanging over the couch.
After the game was over Jenny was searching through the demand movies as Shane went and got popcorn. She was getting bored after 5 minutes wonder what was taking so long. She figured Shane made two bangs since he always made sure they had enough. She saw this as an opportunity and walked into the kitchen his back towards her. She ran and pounced on his back wrapping his arms around his neck. He had the popcorn in his hand but to a reaction he instantly wrapped his arms around her legs catching her and the popcorn hit the ground and sent it flying everywhere.
Jenny immediately burst out laughing letting Shane hear her sweet laugh drift into his ears. He started laughing as well. Of course Jenny would do something like that. He swung around holding her legs so she wouldn't fall then ran to the couch dropping her.
"Okay Miss. I want to jump on your back, get the broom and start sweeping" He said walking into the kitchen as she laughed, got the broom, and started sweeping the popcorn.
10 minutes later they had a fresh bowl of popcorn on the coffee table with water and soda to go with it. There was no more popcorn on the floor in the kitchen. Shane a fairly large blanket and they got under it each at one end of the couch, it was a big blanket. He turned off all the lights before and then they searched for a movie to watch. They finally decided to watch A Cinderella Story which Jenny had to practically beg.
Shane caved with her stupid puppy-dog eyes. Girls really know how to work those to their advantage, boys cave every time. After it started he didn't really mind. He was hanging out with his friend watching a movie which had some pretty funny moments in it. Half-way through the movie Jenny Laid down her feet on his lap and she almost instantly fell asleep.
He smiled and decided he should lie down to. He yawned noticing she was on her side. He slowly moves so her feet were still resting over his curled legs as he lay on his side behind still slightly watching the movie. He had his one arm resting near her head on the head rest and the other at his side. He pulled the blanket over them making sure they wouldn't get cold. He had no idea when he was pretty much cuddling Jenny, well not really, but close enough. He was just lying down behind her.
He was tired, it was getting late and it would be rude to wake her up and practically tell her to leave and make her drive home. He just settled in behind her not suggestive or sexually at all and soon he drifted off to sleep as well. He felt really close to Jenny and not just because their bodies were practically suctioned to each other, not their fault the couch was a little narrow.
He really trusts her and they can confide in each other. That was the best think about her knowing him before he was a famous singer they had trust and formed a friendship with a strong bond that nothing could change. They always had each other's trust and that was one thing Shane needed at this time, a friend he can trust and count on and well she was one of the best friends he knew.
Jenny was probably just what Shane needed. He had a lot of tough times with Mitchie this last year. He was really close with Jenny. That's what he needed to be close to and be friend with another girl. Someone he wasn't attracted to, or at least he thought, or wasn't for now. He needed a girl who was just his friend at the moment without any drama. A calm life is what would help him and that's what he was trying to and starting to accomplish.
It was about 1130 pm when his parents came home. They saw the TV on but Shane wasn't sitting up so they thought he was asleep. His mother walked over and looked down on the couch not really expecting what she saw. He was behind Jenny in an innocent way, nothing happened it was obvious. His one arm was resting along the arm rest is head against his arm. His other arm however was hung over her waist and his one hand was intertwined with hers. It probably happened during their sleep because he didn't fall asleep like that.
His mom smiled. She was glad he was close with Jenny, a girl he could count on. They were good friends and maybe she was the girl to help him move on and forget about Mitchie. Shane needed that and his mom was glad here was the spit to do that, he was finally spending some down time which he needed. She called the Garth's letting them know Jenny fell asleep and would be spending the night. His mom then went upstairs with his dad and they went to bed. His mom with a smile on her face knowing Shane would be okay.
