MITCHIE'S P.O.V
I sobbed loudly as I pressed myself against the window. Shane was crying himself. He had slumped down to the ground, and sure enough, a crowd was forming around him.
"Mitchie, what happened? What's the matter?" my mom asked me. I tried answering but all that came out were sobs. My mom pulled me into a hug and comforted me, as I fell asleep.
I woke up as the car pulled to a stop.
"Mom, why are we at the hospital?" I asked, my speech slurring a little, as I had just woken up.
"We're here to see Grandma honey," she answered. I just nodded silently, and began climbing out of the car.
As we walked to my Grandma's hospital room, my mind wandered to Shane, what was he doing here? Where has he gone now?
As I walked into my Grandma's hospital room, my parents sat down outside, to give my Grandma and me some time, we were pretty close. I forced a smile onto my face.
"Hi Grandma!" I greeted as I ran over and gave her a hug. Well the best hug I could, as she was hooked up to probably every machine in history.
"Hello Mija, how are you?"
"I'm fine Grandma," my Grandma frowned at me, "What?" I asked,
"You are not fine, tell me what's wrong,"
"No, really Grandma I'm fine!" I said, trying to convince her. I pushed the smile further onto my face.
"Mija, I'm your Grandma, I can see right through that smile your etching onto your face. Now, tell me, what is the matter?" with that, my smile disappeared and I began telling my Grandma everything about Shane. All the way through, she had a smile on her face. Once I had finished, I questioned her about it.
"Well, it's pretty obvious you're in love with him, and that he loves you too,"
"What are you on about?"
"Mija, I can tell by the way you talk about him, and by how you described the way he was when you got separated at the airport. Now, you get a taxi back to my house, while I talk to your parents, and you go contact that boy. Oh and feed my cat while you're there love?" I laughed at the fact my Grandma suddenly remembered her cat.
"Okay, bye Grandma," I said as hugged her again.
I walked out, and told my parents that I was going back to the house. They nodded and said they wouldn't be back till late evening; I nodded and walked out of the hospital.
I flagged down a taxi, and endured another car ride. Luckily it only took about twenty minutes to get to my Grandma's house from the hospital. I jumped out of the car, as it pulled outside the house, and I gave the driver the money. He smiled at me and drove off. I walked up to the house, wondering if Shane would be on AIM.
That's when I stopped dead in my tracks. Shocked to the bone about what or who was sitting on the doorstep, asleep. Suddenly he stirred from his deep slumber and looked up at me,
"Mitchie?"
SHANE'S P.O.V
There she was. Standing right in front of me. I quickly stood up, and engulfed her in my arms. She wrapped her arms around my waist, and held me just as tightly.
After a good five minutes, we pulled away.
"Mitch…" I started. Mitchie broke out into a grin and said,
"Shane, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you of course," I replied, confused.
"But…how did you find me here?"
"Umm, it's a long story, can we go inside?" I asked.
"Sure, but I need to feed my Grandma's cat first!" she replied laughing. I laughed with her, and followed her into the house.
After Mitchie had fed her Grandma's cat, we sat down in the living room.
"Okay. So basically, I thought I would come and surprise you by visiting you on holiday, but you ended up surprising me by not being there. I ended going back to the airport, and for some reason, decided to get on a plane to New Jersey, destiny I guess. Then it turns out, you were sitting in front of me on the plane, but I didn't know, till you got off, and dropped you songbook…" Mitchie gasped as I said about her songbook,
"Did you pick it up?" she asked running up to me,
"No…" I teased, "Why was it important?" Mitchie gave me a look as if to say 'Are you kidding me?', "Mitch, of course I picked it up!" She slapped me gently on the arm, laughing. We sat down together on the couch, leaning back, I put my arm round Mitchie, she didn't refuse. In a few seconds, she leant her head against my shoulder, we both sighed, it was evident we had deep feelings for each other, but neither of us knew whether it was right.
