Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long! I had some writers block. Thanks for the reveiws and adding this to your story alerts and such. lol. So, here's is your next chapter! (WARNING: this chapter contains foul language! but just one word!)
Mitchie:
"I don't think we're doing this right" I told Shane and smiled. We had gotten about ten feet out but now we were going in circles.
"You don't enjoy circles?" Shane asked me and kept rowing.
"No, I love circles" I told him. "They're my favorite shape" I smiled at him. We had taken a canoe out and started talking. The sun was high in the sky with barley any clouds.
"Ok then" he said then looked thoughtful. "So tell me about you?"
"I have a better idea" I said thoughtfully. "Let's play truth"
"What the heck is 'truth'?" he asked me and cocked his head.
"It's like truth or dare, only no dares. And you have to tell the truth. You can refuse to answer, but then you lose" I explained.
"Ok, I'll go first" he said. "What's you favorite color?"
"Easy" I said. "Purple. What's yours?"
"Green" he kept rowing. "Is that your real hair color? Or did you dye it?"
"It's real" I laughed. "Why the 'bad boy' attitude?" I asked seriously.
"Because" he took a breath. "Because, you never know why people are hanging out with you. I can never tell if they're hanging out with me for the fame or the free stuff" he sighed.
"Oh, most defiantly the free stuff" I told him, trying to make him laugh.
He smiled, and I could see the laughter in his eyes. "Seriously though" he looked into my eyes. "I never know if people want to know Shane Grey or me"
"Yea…" I sighed. "Your turn"
"What does your mom do?"
Oh God. Not this, anything but this, I thought. I couldn't lie, but I couldn't tell him the truth.
"She's the umm…" I paused, thinking of what to do. "The President of Hot Tunes TV China…" I said quietly.
"So you must understand exactly what I mean about how I can't trust anyone! You must realize why I need my 'bad boy' attitude" He said, pleased.
We were out there for another half an hour. We asked everything from "what's your favorite animal?" to "how do you feel about abortion?" Now we knew all of each other's secrets. We rowed back onto the land and dragged the canoe back.
"Shane" I sighed and faced him. "I lied during our game of truth"
"What did you lie about? Is your favorite color really violet, not purple?" he smiled.
"No," I said, seriously. "My mom…" I paused. "My mom isn't really the President of Hot Tunes TV, China" I confessed, not being able to look into his eyes. "She's really" I looked up into his confused brown eyes. "She's really a chef. And she's working in the kitchens for the cruise" I looked at the ground, waiting for his reaction.
"Why?" he asked me. "Why did you lie to me? I told you everything; I told you all of my secrets! Why would you lie to me about something so…trivial?"
"I just…I thought you wouldn't like me!" I explained. "You're a rock star, you have every girl after you, and you can have anything you want!" I told him, "So why would you want a girl whose mom is a cook?"
"Mitchie" I loved the way he said my name. "Do you really think I wouldn't like you just because your mom isn't rich?" He took my hands.
"I don't know" I said softly. I looked up at him and smiled. "But please please please don't tell anyone else!" I begged him.
"Why?" he asked me. "Why don't you want anyone to know?"
"Because, I know what those girls are like, Shane. For once I just want to fit in, be normal!" I noticed he had let go of my hands and was frowning at me. I sighed. "I guess you'll never understand"
"Yea, I guess I won't" he said, angry. He walked away from me, and I wanted so badly to tell him to come back, but my voice just wouldn't work.
I lost him, I thought. The only guy I've ever met that wasn't a complete pig. And I lost him
Shane:
She lied to me. I can't believe she lied to me. I've had people lie to me before, but I thought she was different. At least she apologized; at least she didn't lie to me for weeks. But she wouldn't confess to everyone else that had lied to! Then she told me that I didn't know what it was like! That I would never understand! Well, she's got that wrong.
Before my brothers and I were "discovered" I was made fun of all the time. I was one of the only guys who liked to sing. I had acne and my hair never went the right way and I never said the right things. I was a loser. But I never told people that my mom or dad were famous or rich.
I stormed off to find my brothers and tell them that I wanted to go back to the ship. I finally found them relaxing on the lounge chairs.
"Dude!" I said, taking Jason's glasses off of his head. "You're already sun burnt!" I reminded him.
"Not-uh, it went away!" he told me. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on, let's go back you guys"
"No way, Shane!" Nate said. "We're not going back yet" he told me as my parents walked over to us.
"Hey boys," My mom said. "Your father, your brother, and I are going to have to catch a plane back home"
"What? Why?" Nate asked.
"Oh nothing to worry about" Our dad told us. "Your grandmother broke her arm and she needs some help, but it's not big deal" he assured us.
"Oh, ok" I said. "When are you leaving?"
"We're getting a plane from here; they have a really small airport. We arranged it with the cruise lines-you boys will still be sleeping in the same room, and I'm not sure what they're doing with our room" Our mom told us. "Now, we have to go on the ship to get our stuff, are you boys going back?"
I nodded and my brothers followed. We all climbed back on the ship and went to our rooms.
"Shane!" Nate yelled.
"What?!" I asked him.
"Dude, I've said your name like five times. What's the matter with you?" He looked at me, concerned.
"It's nothing" I mumbled and turned up my iPod.
He ripped my iPod out of my hands. "It's not 'nothing', something is wrong with you!" he frowned at me. "I saw you and that girl canoeing, and you were laughing. Then you came back and you were all pissed! What is up?"
"You wouldn't understand" I told him.
"Shane, what is wrong with you? Why wouldn't we understand? Ever since Tammy broke up with you you've been getting into bad moods telling everyone that they won't understand! You're not the only one who's gotten hurt, Shane" Jason glared at me. Tammy was my ex, the one that used me for my fame and money. He should have known better than to bring that up.
"What the hell do you know about heart break?!" I screamed at him.
"You can bet I know more about it then you do!" Jason yelled back and stormed out of the room, slamming the door.
"Good job, man" Nate glared at me. "You don't pay attention to anyone but yourself, do you?" He stormed out of the room.
I sighed. He was right. I was a jerk and I didn't think about anyone else. But Mitchie shouldn't have lied to me; I knew that I was right about that. But I could forgive her for lying; she ended up telling me the truth after all. But I couldn't understand why she wanted me to keep her secret.
I lay down on my bed. Even though she wanted me to keep her secret, and even though she lied to me, she was still the only girl that really understood me. And I lost her.
