So, I want to start of by saying thank you to everyone who reviewed! I already had a different chapter written than this one. But I like this one much better! So continue reading and reviewing! :) I write for me but also for those who read. I like knowing you guys like this too!
I knew my time was running out. But I had to move fast. Mitchie was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.
I sat on my bed, elbows on my knees as I thought how to get her back.
'Actions speak louder than words.'
I smiled as that quote ran over and over again in my mind.
I grabbed my car keys and went to the flower shop. I knew exactly what to do.
The next day I got everything ready and waited for Mitchie to be alone. I overheard my mom talk to my dad about a fishing trip with the neighbors. He nodded saying it sounded like fun.
He took Jason and Nate with him, but I declined my offer.
I had once chance to get her back. When I saw my mom walk over to the Torres', I climbed over to Mitchie's room. I stood there, fixing my hair and making sure I smelled good.
I sighed as I laid back my acoustic on the rail and I let my knuckles hit her, stainless glass door.
I waited for what seemed like days, but I'm sure it was just seconds, for some movement inside her room.
When I heard a faint "what the fuck?" I knew she was alone.
I heard her feet shuffle to the balcony doors and I saw her peek her eyes through her curtains. It was quick and almost not noticeable.
She shut her curtain again and didn't make an effort to open the door. That's when I took my chance to grab my guitar.
I cleared my throat, suddenly feeling nervous.
I fumbled through the first chords but I played it off smoothly.
I began to sing with my heart. I couldn't sing to her beautiful broken face so I looked down. Ashamed.
I wont talk
I wont breathe
I wont move till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think I dont look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
Im attached to you
Im weak
Its true
Cuz im afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster
I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
You dont know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
Im afraid to move
Im weak
Its true
Im just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
I know when I go ill be on my way to you
The way that's true
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing that's true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
I slowly looked up hoping to see her crying or smiling, any kind of emotion. When I couldn't find anything I was about to speak but her right hand connecting with my right cheek stopped me before I let out a sound.
I gasped as I saw her hard face.
"How dare you." She spoke in a small, hard voice.
"I know I fucked up, and I haven't forgiven myself for it but if you give me two minutes!" I tired.
She raised her hand and slapped me again.
"What the fuck-?" I yelled. I moved my jaw trying to over pass the stinging.
"You think I'm going to give you the chance to explain yourself? You think that song would help you get me to cooperate with you? A song doesn't take back the pain I felt when I found out you fucked that skinny bitch. A song doesn't take back the choices I've made in the last few months." She said the last part with a smile. Of course she was referring to her "perfect" boy.
Dick.
"Please. Mitchie." I begged. I got on my knees and begged.
Shane Gray doesn't beg, let alone beg on my knees.
I gave her one of my pouts, that I knew she couldn't resist.
"Fine. One minute." She caved, closing her doors as she stepped outside.
I sat on the railing as she sat on her chair.
"I can't put the blame on anyone for my decisions. You did nothing wrong for me to even do that. I just did it because I was blinded. My first love came after me for a change, and I thought this time it could be different. I thought, fuck, maybe she actually changed and is sincere about it. And I was right, she defiantly changed. She was different in a way that wasn't her. She was nicer and appreciative about what she had, but it was all fake. It was all an act. I didn't really see through it till I saw you. When I saw you after that night in my hotel room, all those months ago, it clicked. You were the one I've needed and was meant to be with. That one day we always talked about is suppose to happen! Then I remembered how perfect we are for each other. The way our palms fit, or the way we kiss. I thought Ally was "my one and only". She is, but not for this Shane. She was 16 year old Shane's "one and only". Michelle Lina Torres is this and many years after that, Shane." I sighed, finishing my long rant.
"Well that was way over a minute." She said with a slight hint of humor.
I laughed softly as she rolled her eyes.
"You didn't have to do me wrong Shane."
"I know and I'm a fucking idiot. I'm not a big fan of cheaters either." I said. I looked down disgusted with myself. I didn't even look up when I heard Mitchie get off of her chair. I was expecting her to go back inside, telling me that I completely lost all chances with her. That she was fully over me.
She grabbed my chin and looked me straight in the eye.
"I can't forget..." She said trailing off.
"But you can forgive." I said smiling. She smiled a small smile as she nodded.
I was over filled with joy and hope that I hugged her.
She laughed loudly as she demanded that I put her down.
I kissed her forehead and caressed her cheek.
"Come with me. I wanna show you something." I said throwing my head to the direction of my room.
She opened her mouth to say something but I didn't let her say anything as I practically dragged her over to my balcony.
When we stepped to my room I gave her the envelope. My labels name was written on the address it was sent from.
She smiled a weird smile as she opened it.
Her eyes immediately light up when she read the first line.
"What? How? When? How?" She said with a big smile.
"I asked my record label if they had heard of you or any of your demos and when they told me they hadn't. I told them they should as a recommendation. I didn't think they would listen to me after the little stunt I pulled you know when," I said the last part in a whisper.
Her smile dropped just a bit.
"I have to tell Roman about this when he gets back!" She said getting up from my bed in a hurry.
My smile dropped completely. I laid back in my bed as I smiled.
"Mitchie, remember when we use to lay in bed and talk about random shit?"
She sat on my bed and actually laid back with me.
"Remember that one argument we had about you not liking cereal?" She said as she giggled.
"I'm still not a big fan." I said.
"You're so weird." She said as her laughing calmed down.
"Remember when we discussed what the answer of the riddle, 'how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" I said with a chuckle.
She laughed loudly.
"That was one of the most interesting conversations we ever had!" I said.
She continued her laughing as I looked over at her.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
After a moment, her laughed slowed down and she nodded.
"What about that one day conversation." I brought up.
"I don't want to talk about it." She said in a serious voice.
"Please Mitchie." I pushed.
She sighed as she shook her head.
"What is there to talk about? That's our past." She said sitting up.
I sat up with her and I inched closer to her.
"I still see us together in the future. That has to mean something!" I said.
"It means you finally realized what you want. But what you want wants something else." She got up and headed for the doors.
"Mitchie wait!" I said chasing after her.
"Please. Runaway with me." I said. I didn't know where that came out of.
"I can't. And I won't." She said looking me in the eye. She began to tear up.
"I'm stronger now, I love someone who loves me back. He shows it every second we have been together. You had your chance Shane. You fucked it up for yourself."
"That's where your wrong." I said getting closer to her.
"You gave me a chance to explain, you followed me into my room. You forgave me." I smiled.
She looked down.
"I can't play your game anymore Shane."
"This isn't a game. This is reality. I want you. And I know you want me back!" I yelled.
I crushed me lips onto hers as I tried to prove to her how much I've missed her. How much I really do mean all of this.
And for a second, she kissed back.
Mitchie pulled away as fast as she had pressed her lips against mine.
"I can't." She whispered as tears spilled over her eyes.
She climbed over her railing and opened her doors.
"I have a question." I tried one last time.
She stopped and made no further movements.
I took my chance and asked, "Please, love me again?"
