Shane stared at Mitchie.
She looked like she was being weighed down by all of this.
Shane felt guilty continuing with this silly game if it was hurting her.
"Lets stop."
She stared at him.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because your gonna finish what you started."
She didnt sound as determined as she could have.
But he agreed.
Because even if it was harmign her.
She would still be stubborn and make him do it.
She dragged him into her room.
She bent under her cot and pulled out a book.
She handed it to him.
"Open it."
He opened the book to find nothing in it.
He stared at her.
She gave him a thin smile.
"This is the last thing. The one thing I really want. A clean slate. For everything else Ive ever done to be forgotten."
He closed the book and tried to give it back to her.
"Keep it."
He pulled it to his chest.
"Okay."
She smiled at him.
"Ill see you tomorrow."
"Okay."
He got up.
And left.
Elsie eyed him when he started to walk out holding a book.
"Where in the world did you get that?"
He smiled a bit.
"Mitchie."
She sighed.
"I swear, Shane right? You are gonna get me in so much trouble, first I let you into her room and now Im gonna keep it a secret shes been hiding stuff."
He smiled.
"Thanks Elsie."
She waved him away.
"Whatever. See you tomorrow? Wait stupid question of course Ill see you tomorrow, I see you every day!"
He laughed a bit walking out the door.
He was loving this.
He was just hoping it would stay that way.
