Hello there! Here I am with yet another chapter... I know I should be updating TGTBT but its taking a lot of effort to write it at the moment and I want to get a few chapters ahead, hence the wait. I have so much drama instore for the fic that its hard to reach to that point without rushing things, so i apologise
Okay so I want to share some news with you guys...I entered inevitable into this creative writing competition and I came in 2nd place, picking up a nice £100 prize. I changed character names and padded it out slightly but I was so pleased with it, and to be honest it's all thanks to you guys
I have 254 reviews at the moment, I'd love 275 before I update, I apologise for any typos
Disclaimer: I own nothing, one day I'll own everything, you wait!
SORRY HAD TO UPLOAD AGAIN FORGOT A SENTENCE LOL
Oh shit.
Shit, fuck, damn.
Seconds dragged into an eternity as I watched her expression change dramatically as those words exited my mouth. I felt the colour drain from my face as the realisation hit me, I had openly admitted my feeling for her, a matter of minutes after I explained how she had got amnesia.
Smart move, Shane.
Round of applause , you fucking idiot.
MITCHIE POV (Oh this is new...)
I stood there, frozen to the spot, I could hear my heart pounding in my chest at a million beats per second. I felt like I had been winded, all the air forced out of me causing me to choke slightly.
He did not just say what I think he did.
"What?" I managed to whisper softly, my voice barely audible as the waves gently crashed on the shore. I brought my eyes to meet his gaze, his wide with shock at what he just said.
And to be completely honest, I was just as shocked. After everything that's happened between us, that was the last thing I expected to hear. There was only a matter of metres between us, but it felt like miles.
He opened his mouth slightly, whilst running both his hands through his hair "I-I-I" he began to stutter, his voice trembling from a mixture of different emotions, before straightening up, composing himself. He took a deep breath as he delivered the next few words in a steady and sincere voice "I'm falling in love with you"
I momentarily closed my eyes, this was not happening. Fuck you Shane Grey and your awful timing
Don't get me wrong, I like him, I like him a lot and I may have formed a little teensy weensy...okay scrap that- I have formed a huge bloody crush on him, but this was wrong.
Only a matter of hours earlier I was laying on my bed, torn, tears streaming down my face constantly, like that had for the past week, and now, now I'm standing on the most gorgeous beach I've ever laid eyes on in front of a guy who's just professed his love for me.
The same guy who had caused all my pain.
I wanted to hate him, god, I really did, but I couldn't. Not for a second. As each day passed without contact with him I found myself involuntarily pining for him. Being around him was so effortless, so easy, so right. He was supposed to be a friend, and nothing more.
We weren't supposed to have a past full of hatred
He wasn't supposed to be the reason I fell
And I wasn't supposed to feel these feelings towards him
But not everything goes to plan.
I wanted to scream, to throw something, anything I just needed to release frustration and anger bubbling up inside me. I was in emotional turmoil and I had no idea what side to chose. I quickly took a look around at my surroundings, realising that this could be one of the most romantic destinations ever, a place for the perfect date
I groaned inwardly... I hated having a brain. But not just any brain, a brain which was currently in a intense battle with my heart.
I realised that I hadn't talked in a while and that Shane was now looking towards the floor, scuffling his feet in the sand, I wanted to talk, hell I needed to talk, but what do I say?
C'mon brain, think.
"Shane..." I said softly, causing him to look up to me in a reluctant manner. I caught a glimpse of his face, his eyes full of hurt, confusion and maybe a little regret
"No, you don't need to say anything Mitchie" I opened my mouth ready to protest, yes I did need to say something, you don't just let someone say they are falling in love with you and then say nothing. I may not know a lot of things, but I know that. "I've ruined everything...God I'm so friggin stupid, now you probably hate me even more..." his voice trailed off, as I heard him mutter several profanities to himself
"I don't hate you" I said matter-of-factly, I took a few steps closer towards him, as he just looked at me with an unreadable expression across his face. I sighed before elaborating
"It's a lot to take in you know? When I remembered the accident the other night, I freaked, I didn't know why the hell I saw myself falling with you watching me, I was confused and distraught, so much so I blocked you out for the past week. I tried to think of all the possible scenarios yet I never imagined us hating each other. You're the bestest friend I can wish for, and you proved that to me by your dedication on helping me get better, and it kills me to know that I treated you with such hate, because you really didn't deserve it, you're amazing, I just wish I didn't have to get amnesia to realise it"
A small smile spread across his face at my poor attempt for a joke, he really was amazing, but part of me still hurt. I had allowed all my guards to stay down and let him in, he knew more about me then I knew myself and still he kept things from me, trust had become a big issue for me, after all I have amnesia, I'd believe practically anything you say.
"But-" I started, and there is always a but. "Things are so complicated between us at the moment that adding romantic feelings in the equation could ruin everything. I like you Shane, I like you a hell of a lot, but for now we need to take each day as it comes. To start a fresh, to learn to trust you again" I watched him intensely as he just nodded, obviously understanding my reasoning "Now you big girls blouse, get your ass over here an hug me"
He chuckled at my insult and wrapped his arms tightly around my frame, resting his chin on the top of my head "So..." I mumbled into his shirt, which by the way smelt so bloody good "How's about we tuck in to the contents of the picnic basket over there" Truth be told I was starving and that food looked gooooood
He pulled away looking at me amused "I swear you're always hungry"
I shrugged "But foods good" I defended myself before hopping back onto the blanket. Shane joined me, pulling the wicker picnic basket before emptying the contents on the plaid blanket. My eyes literally popped out of my head when I saw the sort of things that came out of there
Caesar salad...homemade lasagne....fresh fruit salad with meringue ...
"Jeez Shane, did you make this?" I asked
He just shook his head "Nope not me, but a certain Nathaniel..."
"Are you shitting me?" I asked in utter disbelief "Nate Black can cook?"
Shane laughed "Apparently so, and he's damn god at it, you should have seen me and Jason, we've been friends with the guy since we were in diapers yet we never knew he had a talent besides being an annoying shithead."
I picked up a fork, grabbing the lasagne, there was no way Shane was getting his hands on this, I took a mouthful before letting out a small groan in satisfaction "Mmm this is so good"
"Let me have a bit" he reached over trying to grab the bowl as I brought it closer to me and shook my head "Nuh-uh this is mine"
Shane stuck out his bottom lip, pouting that irrestitable pout of his which he knew full well I couldn't resist "Just one forkful please Mitchieeee"
I rolled my eyes, giving in "Fine, but I'm giving it to you." I got decent fork full of lasagne before placing my hand underneath, preventing any falling on the blanket as I leaned over towards him "Open wide" I instructed as he did so. He swallowed the mouthful
"That is good, Nate's going to cook for me all the time" Shane commented
"How is that little man whore?" I liked Nate, he may be a jerk and speaks fluent sarcasm but he knows when to be serious and hey he can cook, that alone wins me over.
"He's convinced he can keep a girlfriend"
I scoffed, almost choking on my mouthful "Seriously? I don't think Nate and girlfriend fit in the same sentence...its more Nate and flavour of the week"
"I don't know Mitchie, Nate has a way of surprising people"
We continued taking for hours, about everything and anything. School ,what's on TV, the weather, it was as if nothing had happened the past week. I looked across the sea as the sun began to set
"Maybe we should get going, its gunna get dark soon" Shane suggested, trust Shane to be Mr Sensible
"A little bit longer" I whined "I've always wanted to see the sunset over a gorgeous beach" he smiled and nodded as he wrapped his jacket around my shoulders, causing me to melt a little inside. I rested my head against his shoulder as we sat in a comfortable silence just watching the sun set in the horizon, Shanes arm casually around my shoulder
I could stay out here forever, now that the sun had set I had the most breath taking view of millions of starts scattered across the sky, it was so clear, completely contrasting to what it was like in the city. I felt Shane move his arms, causing me to instantly shiver, his body heat now absent
he grabbed my arm and pulled me up, gathering the picnic stuff with him "c'mon lets get you back before your parents freak"
I put on the radio as it automatically connected to a station where the newest Jonas Brother song was playing, I was about to change it knowing Shane hated them before he stopped me
"Leave it"
I raised an eyebrow "You hate the Jonas Brothers" he didn't reply, yet instead sung along to 'Pushing me away'
Pushin' me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushin' me away
Tryin' to stop now but it's all ready to late
Pushin' me away
Please don't care to say it to my face
Pushin' me away
Push push pushin' me away
Stop! Tell me the truth
Cause I'm so confused
Spinning round these walls
are falling down and I need you,
more than you know,
Not letting go,
I'm getting close,
so take my hand
And please just tell me why
Pushin' me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushin' me away
Tryin' to stop now but it's all ready to late
Pushin' me away
Please don't care to say it to my face
Pushin' me away
Push push pushin' me away
I smiled and laughed at how adorable he sounded as he continued to sing the song, strumming his fingers on the steering wheel, but hold on... he had an amazing voice, how come I've never noticed this before. Oh, the only other time I've heard him sing was this morning and I was too preoccupied wondering what the fuck he was doing
But damn, voice of an angel. Is there any fault to Shane Grey the triple threat?
Obviously not.
We pulled up outside my house, I sighed to myself quietly, not wanting this day to be over, drama aside this had been by far my favourite day with Shane, only making those feelings harbouring inside me even harder to contain. He jumped out the car, racing to my passenger side before opening the door for me.
Such a gentlemen.
He extended his hand for me as I accepted, gripping my hand around his before hoisting myself of the seat as gracefully as possible. My disappointment only grew as we got closer and closer to my front door
"Thanks for a great day Shane, I really enjoyed it" I said sincerely as we stopped outside on my porch, the light illuminating his face. I felt my heart flutter, the light highlighting his killer jaw line and those smouldering eyes of his.
I had to literally hold myself back from jumping him right there and then.
His lips curved into a smile "Me too, so I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked in hope
"You betcha, bright and early, and breakfast in bed never goes to harm" I hinted, especially after this morning.
He laughed "Okay, I know when to take a hint when I hear one...night Mitch, sweet dreams" he extended his arms as I gladly accepted his embrace, inhaling his scent. I wanted to stay in his arms a little longer, missing the absence of his hugs the past few days, but I had to pull away
"Night Shane" I smiled before getting on my tip toes and placing a kiss on his cheek, before opening the front door, I looked back one final time and smiled before closing the door. I soon as I heard it click I leaned against the door, the grin on my face now impossible to change.
What a day.
Whatta guy.
So there it is another chapter out of the way, I hope it didn't disappoint, well of course it did because you all wanted smitchie loving, hell I would have jumped him lol, saying that I'm not a Joe Jonas lover, I'm a nick- what can I say he's like 3 months older than me, my twisted fantasies are more realistic. Plus he has arms to die for... Okay snap out of it.
Anyway more drama and such to come, I don't know how much more if left in this story but hey, I might spice things up with dear Nathaniel.
Oh and i thought i'd do Mitchie's POV so you guys get to know whats going on in her head, plus i dont think it would have worked out if i did it in Shane's point of view, hope you liked it, tell me what you thought of the whole POV change
I have 254 reviews at the moment, 275 before I update, 21 you can do it.
Peace.
