Thank you for all your reviews. Here is the next chapter. I was inspired with this chapter by Mira94's comments and suggestions so thank you.

Shane POV

What do you think you are doing going through my stuff?" Isis asked mad and grabbed the camera from my hands.

You haven't answered my question," I told her.

"Relax Shane. We just met him last night."

"Couldn't you have told me?" I asked her.

Tell you what? You and Mitchie are over Shane accept it."

"I won't let this happen," I said more to myself than to Isis.

"You aren't going to do anything," Isis told me. "Don't make her hate you anymore than she already does."

I left her room in pissed off and slammed my bedroom dorm.

"Thank you for a happy birthday!" Isis yelled through my door.

I sat and ran my hands through my hair. My worst nightmare came true; Mitchie with another guy. What a way to start the day and I knew it wasn't going to get any better.

Mitchie POV

I was nervous when we arrived at the door later that night. I was nervous to see Shane; well to see the entire Grey family. What do I say to Shane when I see him? What do I do?

"Breathe Mitchie," Caitlyn said.

"I'm fine," I told her but Caitlyn read through me and knew better. We knocked on the door and Nate answered it.

"Hey," he smiled and kissed Caitlyn before he hugged me. We walked to the family room where everyone was already. Jason and Isis were talking to Sara, Mr. and Mrs. Grey. When my eyes landed on Shane who was by himself, my heart beat became loud; you know when you become very nervous or scared you can hear your heart beat and wonder if anyone else can hear it too.

"Hey guys," Isis came and hugged us.

"Happy birthday," I said when I hugged her.

Before I could pull away she whispered quickly, "He knows." I didn't know what she meant but the way she said it sounded like a warning. Confused I then hugged Jason. Since I had entered the room I could feel Shane's deep stare on me and tried to ignore it.

"Great. Now that all the guest have arrived, let the party begin," Isis said and pulled me over and started to talk with Sara. I sat with my back to Shane and it felt like it was on fire as he continued to stare at me which I desperately tried not to acknowledge. Why was he staring? He had no right. He said he was going to give me space and leave me alone.

Some the cake came out and we sang Happy Birthday to Isis. I had to get out of the way and ended up beside Shane who crossed his arms and looked to be angry about something. I crossed my own arms as being near him felt as if my space was being invaded. We clapped our hands when Isis blew out her candles. Then came presents which I took as a chance to move away from Shane and stood by Caitlyn and Nate. Isis opened presents from her parents a watch and then Nate's who bought her a classic antique literature book. Lastly, she open what Caitlyn and I got her; a matching charm bracelet that we wore.

"Thank you," she beamed. "I love it."

"We knew you would," Caitlyn said.

Jason stood up. His hands were shaking and looked nervous for some reason. "I would like to say something and give one more gift." Everyone quiet down to listen.

He grabbed Isis hands. "These past two years have been quite an adventure. Secrets, break ups, make ups, touring, the media and I am so grateful, you stayed with me through it all, though I know it was never easy for you because trust me it wasn't easy for me. But what got us through it was our love. What kept me going was knowing you were in my life and that you loved me. You made me believe and have faith and hope, you made me feel safe and like I could do anything in the world just because my accomplished my biggest achievement; you." As he talked some magical force made me look across the room straight into Shane's eyes. I started to tear up and couldn't look away from him.

I always ask myself why me? Why did you choose me? How did I get so lucky?" I started to tear up a bit and she too had glistering eyes. "I want you to be mine forever but I can't imagine my life without you," I watched as he got down on my knee and opened the box to reveal a ring, "Will you do the honour and marry me?"

"Yes," Isis said crying with happiness and Jason stood and hugged her. While everyone clapped and went to congratulate the couple Shane and I didn't move. We just stood there staring at each other as if we were having a conversation with our eyes. I stood there crying and I swore I saw a tear stream down his face too before he quickly wiped it. It was all too much for me so I turned and quiet snuck away and ended up in the garden outside.

It was a beautiful night and a beautiful garden as it was lit up with lights that lead to the dock. I sat on a bench and took the promise ring off of my finger swirling it around by finger as I thought about have a urge to cut. I broke out of my trance when I heard footsteps approach me. I looked up and expected to see Caitlyn or Isis but instead Mrs. Grey stood in front of me with a loving look on her face.

"May I take a seat?" I nodded and she took a seat next to me. To be honest I was trying to avoid Mrs. Grey because I was ashamed. I hadn't spoken to her since Shane's birthday and had hoped for the same thing tonight.

I tried to hide my tears, but Mrs. Grey reached out and took my hands in hers. I smiled she was always so loving.

"I'm glad you made it tonight," she said.

"Me too. I wouldn't miss Isis's birthday," I told her. I could tell she wanted to ask me something and was debating whether or not she should.

"Are you okay Mitchie?" she asked with concern.

"I'm fine," I told her.

"I know he is my son but if you need to talk my door is always opened," she said.

"I know and thank you," I said. She saw the ring in my hands.

"I don't know what to do with it," I told her. "I kept it on this entire time and now I don't know what to do? Because if I ride of it, that's it's really over." She patted my back.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked and she nodded.

"What does it mean to be in love? Can love conquer all?"

"Love is a beautiful thing that not many get. To be in love means you put all your trust, passions, all of you in someone who helps you grow and become a better person.

"Do you still love my son?" she asked.

I started to cry and just nodded, "Yes I do," I whispered. "That's the problem. I love him but I can't forgive and forget. What do I do? I twirled the ring in my hand.

"I know what happened last summer," she told me. I looked at her. "And you forgave him because you loved him."

"And look where that got me," I chuckled and wiped my face.

"Well love is blind." She smiled. "I guess you should decide if you regret it," she said. I looked at her. "Do you regret forgiving my son?" I couldn't exactly answer her.

"I guess you need to make a choice about whether or not this," she pointed to the ring and covered her heart, "is enough." I hugged her and she left me in the garden.

I thought about it over and over. About all we overcame yet I always found myself in the exact position. It was a hard decision but I knew what my decision was. For once I was going to do something for me.

I walked back inside and didn't see Shane anywhere. Nate saw I was looking for him and he pointed upstairs. I nodded at him and took a deep breathe before I made my way up the stairs. I stood outside his door and hesitated before I knocked on the door and heard a grunt on the other sider which I took as a sign to enter. The room was dark because there were no lights on. All the light that was present was the moonlight that shone through the window. I turned on the light to find Shane sitting at the edge of his bed on the floor with a beer bottle.

He looked up at me and stood up. We just stared at each other. Then he saw what I held in my hand his promise ring and i couldn't read his face. I held it out to him and he looked hurt as I dropped it into his hand.

"I can't keep this," I told him. "I thought about it over and over and I just can't look at it anymore. That ring represents everything we don't have anymore; trust, promises, hope, a future. You were the love of my life."

"Were the love my life," he repeated to himself with attitude and turned away from me. He threw the ring on his bed. "That has a nice ring to it since you clearly moved on with that guy."

Everything made sense now with Isis. "Don't be mad at me. You have no right since you clearly moved on from me when we were still together with you ex." I raised my voice my voice.

"I didn't move on," he was in my face now, "Not ever. I love you so much that it sickens me. And you clearly knew that and still had the guts to move on."

"Why do you care? If I remember correctly you left me a message telling me to move on and be happy. You said you were letting go out of my life.," I was yelling now and I'm pretty sure everyone downstairs was listening to us now.

"Not with another guy," he yelled back.

I threw my hands in the air, "I don't get. What did you want me to do Shane cry over you and feel sorry for myself for the rest of my life? If you thought so then you're dead wrong. I found someone who doesn't hurt me and he made me laugh the other night for the first time in weeks and it felt good. And you're pissed because I found someone who can do something you thought only yourself can do." I didn't realize that he moved closer to me during my rant.

Then tell me Mitchie does he make you feel the same way as I do?" his voice became softer the way I liked it. "Does he touch you the same way as I do?" He was extremely close now and brushed his hand ever so softly down my bare arm that sent chills down my spine.

I gulped, "Stop it," he made me nervous and I started to cave and he knew it. But I couldn't be vulnerable around him though he knew he was my weakness and he was using it against me.

His arms brought me closer to the point that I felt his breath on my face and smell the stench of alcohol an induction that the beer he drank wasn't his first drink as i tried to avoid his intense stare. I don't know why but I couldn't find the strength to push him away.

"Come on Mitchie. I need you so bad." He grabbed my hand and placed it over his heart which was racing just as fast as my own. "Do you feel this. This here is real. This is me. Whether it is the sound of your voice, the softness of your skin, or the mere mention of your name. I need you simply because I can't live without you. That night after you left me in the rain, I walked and ended up at a lake and contemplated of jumping."

"Shane…" I said.

"No. Let me finish. I didn't jump because of you. You came to me and I couldn't leave you." We both stood there crying.

"Shane please," I begged him to stop.

He leaned into me, "Please Mitchie. Let me love you."

Both my hands found their way to his chest and I pushed him away, "We can't," I told him. "Everything's changed. We can't be what we used to be."

"Yes we can." He knelt down in a begging position and hugged me. "Please Mitchie. Don't shut me out. I promise to never hurt you again."

I wiped my face, "You're right Shane. You won't ever hurt me because I won't let you." I made him let go of me and he stayed knelt down.

"Goodbye Shane," and with that I left his room and went downstairs.

Everyone was still in the family room quiet. As I approached they started talking to try to conceive me that they didn't hear anything. But they knew that I knew. I grabbed my things and left followed by Caitlyn since we came together. I cried in the car as she drove as I thought why does he do this to me?

I know it is not much of a Mitchie and scene but I will do more between them and stuff. It was rushed because I didn't exactly know what to say.
