Chapter9

"What do you mean Mitchie?"

I stared down at me pink fingernails.

"Shane do you love me?" I was procrastinating.

"Mitchie...," he sighed, "Yes. I love you Mitchie I do."

"Then why won't you let me leave?"

I looked up at his face. His face was a mixture of emotions. Inpatients, then anger, next hurt, then love, and panic.

"Mitchie," he sighed again, "I'll let you leave, if it's what you really want, I just don't want you to leave."

"But it is what I want."

"Then," he spoke my words carefully making sure that he knew what he was saying, "Then… go," he let go of my hands and let them drift to my side.

"Shane it's not like that," I complained.

"I don't care what it's like Mitchie. If you want it then go."

"I don't want to," I admitted, "I just have to."

"You don't have to do anything," he said bitterly.

"Do you want me to stay? Like really."

"Of course."

"Then," I sighed, "I'll stay. But only for a while. I guess it just depends on what happens."

"So what did happen?" he pressed

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay fine, "he lifted my chin so that my face was eyes level with his. He slowly brought his mouth to meet mine. He kissed me slowly and passionately. It felt different. But a good different. Much better then Carlon's gross lips! I kissed him back equal excitement.

"I love you," I whispered my voice shaking.

"I love you too baby," he said against my lips.

I pulled away and rested my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms tightly around me. "Stupid Christmas," I muttered.

He stroked my hair slowly and soothingly. Everything felt normal again. Everything was right in my mind everything except that very small part of my mind that thought about that horrid night.

Finally I was back in my house. Shane and I had driven home soon after I had come home from church. We had made it home a couple hours ago. Shane had just gone to our room and was playing the guitar.

I was in the kitchen finishing up my dinner. I was finished quickly.

I decided to go get the Christmas boxes to put some of the decorations away. I walked past the first room, a bathroom, the second room, empty, and then past Shane's door. I heard him singing a song. It sounded pretty good. He had just finished singing it. He decided to play it again I guess, as I heard the same rhythm start to strum through his guitar. I started at his door. I know Shane didn't like me listening unless he wants me to but I couldn't resist. I slid down the wall and listened intently to the lyrics of the song.

Looked down from a broken sky

Traced out by the city of lights

My world from a mile high

Best seat in the house tonight

Touched down on the cold black tile

Hold on for a sudden stop

Breath in the familiar shock

Of confusion and chaos

All these people going somewhere

Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I've been missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me a heart for the once forgotten

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Step out on the busy street

See a girl and our eyes meet

Does her best to smile at me

To hide what's underneath

There's a man just to her left

Black suit and a bright red tie

Too ashamed to tell his wife

He's out of work

He's buying time

All these people going somewhere

Why have I never cared?

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I've been missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me a heart for the once forgotten

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I've been there a million times

Just a couple of million eyes

Just move and pass me by

I swear I never thought I was wrong

Now I want a second glance

Give me a second chance

To see the people you see alone

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I've been missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me a heart for the once forgotten

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I've been missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

The ones that are far beyond my reach

Give me a heart for the once forgotten

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Then it was over. I slowly got up and walked to the door in the back. I grabbed a box and started packing (decorations).
