Falling Over Her

Chapter 24: CSPA PROM

I was nervous standing in the foyer of Ally and Kenzie's house waiting for the girls to come down the stairs. I was more excited for Mitchie to emerge of course. Her corsage was sitting carefully in a plastic case I was holding in my hand. I had my red tie on to match the dress she was wearing tonight. She decided since green was my favourite colour she would wear it at our prom. The school I actually attended. I smile seeing Bella walk down the stairs. I have never met her but Mitchie said she was really good friends with Ally and Mandy. I was also glad we had got the stretched limo we would need the extra space.

Soon Michael, Bella's date was at the end of the stairs helping her off the stairs and greeting her with a soft kiss. They had been dating for a couple of years and had been friends since they were 5. They looked good beside each other. The parents took a picture of him putting her corsage on her wrist before they came and stood beside the rest of us as we waited for our dates to arrive. I was still excited with butterflies in my stomach. I wasn't really nervous anymore it was more of an excited feeling to see my gorgeous girlfriend in her dress.

Soon it was Ally's turn. She started walking down the stairs her eyes landing on her boyfriend. She looked beautiful too as her boyfriend Matt walked up to the stairs and took her by the hand greeting her with a longer passionate kiss. He places the corsage on her wrist as well and with his arm around her waist they came and stood beside us as well. I hoped Mitchie would come down soon.

Next was Mandy. She looked stunning and we all knew she was beautiful. Mitchie was good friends with her now and told me that Josh would die. Mandy did look like a model. She was almost at the end of the stairs and I still felt Josh's presence beside me. I looked and he was just staring there practically gaping. I nudged him and he snapped out of it and walks to the stairs greeting her with a few small kisses placing her corsage on her hand. She giggled giving him another quick kiss as they made their way back towards me where Mandy waved. She mouthed soon to me and I nodded.

Soon we saw Laura start walking down the stairs. We were okay friends. She was a little out there for a lot of us. She always meant well but very open and outgoing, is the best way to put it. She looked really good in her dress though. Her date who we really didn't know anything about, Adam met her at the bottom of the stairs and gave her a kiss on the cheek. After she got her corsage and came over there was 3 left, this would be exciting. Mitchie was one of those three.

First was Amy. I think Bryan almost fell over as Josh grabbed his arm steadying him. She looked amazing and Bryan was one lucky man. He smiled walking over and meeting his girlfriend with a lingering kiss. He put the corsage on her wrist kissing her for a minute before their way back over. She smiled at me and they stood beside Josh again smiling. I wanted Mitchie to come down those stairs so bad.

However next was Kenzie so Mitchie was last was she trying to kill me, and I couldn't wait to see her. Kenzie was gorgeous and we could all see that. I patted Alex's shoulder as he was on my other side and he smiled walking to the end of the stairs taking her hand when she walked off of them. He cupped her cheek kissing her. They were another cute couple. He slipped the corsage onto her wrist and with one more kiss they walked over. She nodded at me and I smiled focusing all my attention on the stairs.

I saw Mitchie turn the corner and I swear my breath hitched in my throat. My eyes went wide a huge smile coming to my face. She locked her eyes with mine and giggled as she continued walking. I took a breath and walked to the end of the stairs waiting for her. I hoped she liked her corsage it was all white roses with one red in the middle. She loved roses and so did I. I knew I was the luckiest man there, although we probably all felt that way. She stepped off the stairs and I couldn't help it and wrapped my arms around her giving her a very passionate loving kiss she returned. It must've been a minute before we pulled back and both blushed. I placed the corsage over her wrist as the moms took pictures. We all had pictures of us putting the corsage on our girlfriend's wrist. She smiled as we all walked over to the others.

Soon we were blinded with lights of the 7 mom's camera's taking pictures. We did all the girls, the guys, the couples the best friends and it took forever. We had a couple of us sitting on the stairs and standing near the door. Soon enough we made our way outside. All the girls smiled huge seeing the amazing limo we were all taking. We had needed enough room for us all to the fit. The only way was the stretch limo that was before us. The guys and I had to admit it was impressive when it had picked all of us up on the way here.

We all helped our girls getting into the limo then getting it sitting with them. My arm was firmly around Mitchie's shoulder as we were the last to get in. I kiss her as I reach for the door to close it.

"BE SAFE" The moms shouted and all the girls burst out laughing as I reached the door and pulled it close just before the limo started moving towards the hotel where the prom was being held.

"What was the about" I whispered to Mitchie and she giggled

"We got little gift bags from our moms for stuff we put in our clutch. One of that was a four pack of condoms" She whispered and I chuckled

"We need those" I whispered on her ear kissing her neck softly and she smiled.

"Mm yeah and remember our deal"

"All too well" I replied giggling and she smiled kissing my lips again softly.

"Okay so who want's champagne" Matt said lifting up the bottle and we all cheered. I don't know how they got it but I was glad the window between us and the driver was closed. The girls squealed as he popped the corked as it came bubbling up. We all held out glasses each getting a class. We then all held them up.

"TO US AND OUR PROM" Laura shouted really loud. There was her outgoing personality.

"TO US AND OUR PROM" We all chorused and took a sip of our champagne. We all finished out classes and put them on the table sitting back in our seats. We all kept chatting and everyone was stealing kisses every once in a while as we got closer to the hotel.

Soon the limo stopped and I opened the door getting out first helping Mitchie out. We locked hands and started towards the hotel as the others did as well. There was a huge red carpet leading into the hotel that was all lit up with candles. We stood at the beginning getting the official prom pictures from the professional photographer and made our way inside the rest of our friends following us. We got inside the hotel and followed the other fancy dressed people towards the ball room that blew me away.

It was in Anaheim and the summer but the theme was winter wonderland for a prom and it seemed perfect. There were snowflakes made out of paper and other art supplies hanging from the ceiling. There were Christmas lights all around the doors and the rafters as well. There was a little stage with a wooden train on it and behind it was the DJ playing music. It was amazing. There was a table against the wall with snacks and punch but also hot chocolate and eggnog, it was seriously insane but looked amazing. I smiled walking in with Mitchie as we both took it all in.

"Wow" was all she said. It was the only word you could really use to sum it all up. It was brilliant and whoever was the prom committee at the school was definitely a genius. This was a perfect idea, so much better than the cliché starry nights. Thankfully it wasn't the theme we were doing either. Anaheim's was the last dance or something. I honestly had no idea.

"Yeah it's amazing. So babe have I told you, you are breathtakingly gorgeous tonight" I asked and she giggled.

"No but I guessed from the look on your face. Thank you. You look so handsome in a tux, very dapper Mr. Gray" She said and I smiled kissing her quick.

I squeezed her hand as we made our way to the table we were assigned. The floor was right now littered with decorated tables that were for the prom dinner. After I was guessing they would all be cleared for dancing? We sat down at our table where Laura, Adam, Amy, Bryan, Kenzie and Alex soon joined us. There were only 8 at a table so all 14 of us couldn't be together for the dinner.

Soon after the amazing dinner we were all standing near the side of the room. A lot of us were just chatting as the workers of the hotel all dressed in white and black cleared the floor moving some tables to the side so we could still sit if we got tired from dancing or the girls wanted to rest their feet from their heels.

"All right so I hope you all enjoyed the dinner" Someone from their school said at the microphone on stage. "We are going to start the voting for king and queen in the far corner so if you can all at one point make your way over there and vote before 10:00. It is 7 right now so you have a few hours. The school has nominated the runners and so there was no campaigns so just choose who you wish to win. The dancing will start with the DJ and band so have fun" She called and a band walked up on stage playing and singing along to the music the DJ was playing, they weren't that bad.

The first few songs were fast and we had a lot of fun dancing to them. It was fun watching the girls dancing and goofing off. They really knew how to move their bodies Mitchie's hips hypnotized me. She was amazing and smiling having fun with her girls. We were dancing too but our dancing skills as guys weren't as good as others, well Alex could compete with the girls but none of the other 6 of us could even compare.

TIK TOK came on and I laughed as all the girls seemed to be in the middle of the floor singing and dancing along. Soon it was the middle of the song and everyone except the dance girls were in the middle of the floor and everyone else was watching cheering them on. They all started doing a synchronized dance. It was limited due to their dresses but I guess they had done a dance to this song before it was amazing to watch and I smiled cheering my amazing girlfriend on.

After a few more dances the girls make their way to the table. The guys and I take that chance to vote for prom king and queen. For king I voted for Alex since he was the only guy I knew on the ballet and he was a pretty decent guy we became friends since he hangs out with me and Mitchie a lot as he his practically dating her sister. I smiled seeing the queen's ballet. Mitchie, Mandy and Kenzie were on the ballet along with a few other girls. I voted for Mitchie, she being my girlfriend of course. I mean who else would I want to vote for?

We then went to the table and sat down as the girls decided they would go vote. I snuck away and went to the stage taking the DJ aside. I asked them to play a special song I really wanted to dance to with Mitchie. It wasn't really our song but we both loved it and it meant a lot to us, we listened to it together a lot, so maybe it was our song. I smiled as she sat back down on my lap at the table and I wrapped my arms around her putting my head on her shoulder.

"Having fun?" I asked and she nodded

"So much, thanks for coming"

"Wouldn't miss it, how are your feet" I asked and she giggled.

"Good, the rest is helping. I am pretty good on heels, silly" She said kissing me and I giggled kissing her back.

"Glad to hear that because we are going to dance to the next song" I said and she smiled

"Okay but what if we don't like it" She said and a grin came on my face

"Oh we will don't you worry" I said and she just rolled her eyes as the music stops. The next song and I will be dancing to Mitchie and I hope she understands why I picked this song. We heard it the first night we studied together at her house and driving to LA.

"Okay so we are going to change it up a bit" The DJ said through his microphone. "We are starting to take requests so you can come up to me and let me know. Now we can't play all of them but we will play some. This is the first one though so we are definitely playing it. You two better be up here dancing to this song." Mitchie looked at me and I smiled standing up taking her hand heading towards the floor. "Alright so we are starting here is your first request" He says and soon the music start splaying.

"Shane" She said hugging me wrapping her arms around my neck, my hands on her waist and her head on my shoulder as we start dancing to Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift. It was a perfect song and I got lost listening to the music holding the girls of my dreams, dancing under the twinkling Christmas lights. Together we both started whispering the words remembering when we sang and danced to reliving it, like we were the only two people in the world, at that moment, prom really was magic.

After a few more dances me and Mitchie made our way to a table and sat by ourselves for a few minutes sipping some water. We had danced a lot and just wanted to rest. She sat on my laps and I firmly hold onto her keeping her close. She smelled amazing with the perfume she was wearing. I was excited that the night was soon going to be over and we can go make love and I can show her just how beautiful she is to me.

We just got back out on the dance floor when the music stopped and the girl who went up on stage earlier walked onto the stage taking the microphone with two people beside her. One was holding a pillow with crowns on it and the other was holding two envelopes. I looked at my watch seeing it was almost 11:30 so soon we would be wrapping this night up.

"Alright so we are now here to announce to you who are our prom queen and king of the 2011 graduation class of CSPA. There were a lot of votes and I've been told it was a very close race for both king and queen so without anything else… your 2011 graduating class winter wonderland prom king is … ALEX" She calls and our whole group cheer. Kenzie gives him a quick kiss and he goes up on stage taking the crown and raising a hand in a wave as we all cheer louder.

"You got it" I heard Mitchie tell Kenzie. I smiled squeezing Mitchie's hand. It would be really nice to see her win, but I had a feeling Kenzie would win and I also knew Mitchie wouldn't care either way and be really happy for Kenzie if she won.

"And your Winter Wonderland Prom Queen is… KENZIE" They called and Mitchie quickly hugged Kenzie as our whole group did clapping as she blushed walking up and taking her spot next to Alex locking hands and receiving her tiara. She smiled and then looks at Alex who gave her a quick kiss as everyone awed.

"EVERY ONE YOUR KING AND QUEEN" the girl said and we all cheered happily. Bryan, Josh and I whistled as they both laughed. "Now for their dance" The girl said and got off the stage as Alex and Kenzie made their way to the middle of the dance floor and starting dancing to Hero. They were a really cute couple and Mitchie awed as Alex held onto Kenzie tight as they dance. Soon the rest of us 7 were dancing with them as were other couples. This night wasn't over yet and it felt magical, but then again anything was with Mitchie by my side.

It was a few songs after and I just pulled Mitchie close. The song I'll Be was playing and it was a beautiful slow song. It wasn't the last song of the night but Mitchie and I were going to head upstairs after this dance. Her feet were getting sore and we were both tired and were also looking forwards to our own after party later, just the two of us.

The song finished and I smiled telling the guys we were heading out as they nodded. I walked over to the table taking Mitchie's hand as she got her clutch and we made our way into the lobby. She took off her heels and hung them on her fingers as I went to sign into our room. I got the key and walked with her to the elevator as we got in kissing each other making out way towards our floor.

"Remember in LA" She said giggling pulling away and I laugh

"Very much, mostly how amazing you are and how much I love you and how we made it known to each other but I do remember the older couple" I said and she blushed pushing me playfully

"I was talking about that"

"I know just had to flatter my girlfriend" I said kissing her quick and taking her hand again as the elevator stopped. We got out and found our room as I opened the door and turned the lights on.

Mitchie dropped her shoes on the floor and walked over to the bed and I chuckled. "Not happy with your heels" I asked slipping my shoes off

"Nah just tired of them. Do you mind if I wash my face" She asked and I shook my head

"Not at all go for it" I said smiling and she nodded. She tossed foil packages from her clutch to the bed and then heading towards the bathroom. I slipped off my jacket and hung it up. I made my way to the bed and placed the condoms onto the bed side table and folded down the sheets for when she was ready. I slipped of my pants and shirt hanging them up as well since they shouldn't get too wrinkled. I loosened the tie but didn't take it off yet, left in only it and my boxers I made my way back to the bed. I smiled thinking about Mitchie almost coming out to me and I have been waiting to kiss her all night. She was so sexy dancing in that dress tonight.

I finally discarded my tie at the side of the bed and just laid there in boxers waiting for Mitchie to emerge from the bathroom. I smile and look up as I see the door open the light in the bathroom turn off. She took a few steps. "Stop" I said quietly as she froze. I smiled taking in her beauty.

Her face was no longer covered in make-up and freshly clean and her true features standing out. I loved her eyes when they had no make-up. They looked so full of love at the moment. Her hair was no longer held by a head band but just hanging loose in her long black waves. She was no longer in her dress as it was probably hanging in the bathroom. She was in hot red lace panties and bra. She looked so innocent yet so sexy and hot at the same time. She was so full of beauty and I was so full of wonder, how did I get the most amazing woman in the world.

"You can come now" I said chuckling and she giggled coming to the bed and crawling towards me hovering over my body her hair tickling my cheeks as her lips meet mine in a soft slow passionate kiss. I run my hands up her bare back kissing back. "Time to keep your promise" I said against her lips before pushing mine against hers again. My hand undoes the clasp of her bra as it loosens. She pushed her body up a little as I slowly remove the straps letting the bra fall from her body and onto the floor.

I kiss her still my hand running up and down her bare back. I soon roll over so I am hovering over her still kissing her. The kisses were feverish as her hands run along my bare back and up into my hair. I smile starting on her neck sucking on her sweet spots as a few moans escape her lips. My kisses going lower and lower until my lips slowly start peppering her breasts in kisses. Moans were escaping her mouth as she kept playing with my hair.

"Shane" I heard her lips say and I kiss back up to her lips letting my lips attach to hers again.

"Yeah" I said softly against them.

"Please make love to me" She whispered softly kissing me again but soft and slow no longer feverish.

I kissed back in the same way. She was done with the teasing and fore play. She just wanted me to love her and I wanted to love her as well. Not rough but loving and passionate. I slowly let my hands reach her panties and slowly pull them off as she removes them from her ankles. I let her hands reach my boxers and tug them down as well.

"I love you" I whisper as I reach for a condom on the bed side table opening it

"I love you too" She whispers softly and kisses my jaw line

"Ready" I ask catching her eyes staring lovingly into them.

"Love me" She whispers barely audible and together we get lost in each other and the love we share as I lower my body closer towards her watching her gasp and closing her eyes as my lips once again capture hers.

It is now about 10:00 the next day and Mitchie and I just got out of the shower. We made love once again when we woke up and just finished a really long shower. We got out due to finally running out of hot water but it was still enjoyable. I give her a soft kiss after wrapping a towel around her body and one around my waist.

"I'm going to get dressed" She said and I smile leaving the bathroom to get dressed as well. We had to check out soon then we were heading home for the day. I was still tired and was sure we would be having a nap today.

I slipped on my pants and my shirt leaving my jacket and tie off slipping on my shoes. I didn't feel like wearing my jacket it was probably hot outside anyways. Soon Mitchie comes out with her dress on and hair tied up. Her face was still make-up free and gorgeous. She grabs her clutch and together we leave the room and head downstairs. I wanted to get home and go back to bed, I was really tired.

We just got out of the cab in front of the house. Tired I took her hand and we made our way into the house. The house still smelt of coffee as my parents probably had brunch today and got up late.

"Hey you two" My mom said walking in and giving us both a hug. I couldn't help but yawn and soon chuckled when Mitchie let one pass through her lips.

"Hi mom, sorry but we are really tired so I think I speak for us both when I saw we are heading back to bed and have a nap"

"I think that is a good idea" She said chuckling "Have a good rest" She said hugging Mitchie and giving her a small kiss on the forehead before me.

"I will see you later mom" I said heading upstairs with Mitchie

"Thank you and see you later Mrs. Gray" Mitchie said and I mom nodded as we both made our way to my room. I got changed into a pair of plaid pyjama pants and slipped into my blankets. Mitchie changed into a fresh pair of panties and one of my sweaters before joining me and curling up in my arms.

"I love you Mitchie" I said kissing her softly

"I love you too Shane" She said returning the kiss.

"Let's sleep then" I whispered as I stroke her hair

"Babe" she asked softly

"Yeah love" I asked

"I kind of want to talk now" She said and I all of a sudden didn't feel as tired.. Of course I would listen, she wanted to talk and I wasn't going to say no. She might cry and I would be there comforting her every step of the way.

"Sure anything love, I'll listen" I smiled kissing her cheek and she smiles weakly

"Thanks" She said taking a breath

"About Thursday night" I asked and she nodded

"Yeah, the reason I was so upset was because I had another fight with my parents. I apologized and I didn't want to fight and glad we would get to spend time together but that was short lived. They are going to Europe and want me to go but there is no way I am going with all my friends here and leaving some of them and most importantly you this fall. They just don't understand. Well we yelled and I told my dad I hated him and I didn't mean it. Not at all I hate that I said I hate you to him. I love my dad and my mom, maybe my dad just a little more because he was always there for me even if not in person. Just they don't understand. I know it was more me mad and upset about my mom these last 4 years that I said that but I don't hate her either. I feel bad about saying it but I am still so mad at them."

"They won't be there all summer, babe" I said wrapping my arms around her tightly "I am so sorry"

"Thank you but they are leaving and I will not be there waiting with open arms. I have to be happy for myself and not be worried. I am doing what I always wanted and what I believe in. I just hate the fact that this summer most nights I will be going home to the huge empty house to be all alone. It sucks even if they were there I would see them but they'll be jet-setting all over Europe."

"I am really upset that they did that. You deserve better and were looking forward to that time. I understand you being upset and angry babe" I said kissing her cheek my hand still stroking her hair as her tears would falling

"Yeah, I just don't like that they say they care and love me yet don't have anything to show for it"

"They have a bad way of showing it" I agreed "Also I am proud of you for not going to be there and live for what you want to do. One day I hope you will talk to them and get through to them" I said and she curled tighter into me.

"I will but it will take a while. I know we shouldn't leave it like this and maybe I will talk to them at my graduation if they come but not until after the summer I guess, maybe it's just better that way, I have your support" She said and I nodded

"100% and it is there los love, they will realise the mistake. One day you will all be on better terms. Now the bigger picture, there is no way you are going home to that empty house every day. You will stay here, I love having you here and so do my parents, you're the daughter they never had, and it's not in any way illegal that you are in my bed every night" I said and she let out a small laugh. I knew that would get one out of her.

"Thank you for that but Shane I am already staying here and I should stay at home during the summer. They are away so I need to make sure everything is alright and everything. I will see you pretty much every day anyway.

"Then I will stay there with you, you can't be alone all the time at night that isn't fair babe"

"I don't think it's a good idea" she said getting tears again and I stroke her hair.

"Babe don't be silly it is no inconvenience I love going to sleep and waking up to you every morning. You can stay here or I can stay there."

"Listen Shane I love that you are offering that. I won't be alone every night. The girls and I will probably have sleep overs and so will we. I just don't think we should live together and go to bed and wake up to each other every nights, it's not a good idea"

"We do it now, do you not like it?" I say confused. At this she turned her head and looked me dead in the eyes.

"Babe I love it, you know that. It's not that I don't want to do it" She said and I believe her

"But why then?"

"I am going to get so used to sharing a bed curling up in your arms so warm and comfortable. I am already used to seeing you the first thing in the morning. You are the last person I see at night and love our kisses then. In the fall we are no longer going to be able to do that. My bed at school will be so cold and so unwelcoming" She says tears streaming "I love this and we will do it some days in the summer but I need to sleep in my bed alone some nights too. I need to get used to it, because it will hurt and if I am used to you all the time I am afraid it will hurt more and I don't want to make it harder for either of us" She said tears falling. Tears were brimming my eyes and all I could do was wrap her in my arms pulling her closer. I understand completely as I blink a tear slipping form my eyes as well.

"I understand and you are right it would be harder" I sad shifting with her as she lay down again. I stroke her hair closing my eyes really tired now a few tears falling from both our eyes.

"Sorry" She said

"Never be sorry my love" I said kissing her temple "Do you want to get some rest" I asked and she nodded closing her eyes.

"I think that's a good Idea and we still have time for sleepovers, just not every night" she said and I smiled closing my eyes again sleepy as well.

"Yeah we have all summer" I said stroking her hair

"All summer" She whispered and that was the last thing I heard as she fell asleep and I started to. I knew one thing and that was we had all summer. My last thought was I just hope it lasts as long as it was supposed to. The worst thing and last thing we needed or wanted was the summer to go by faster than it should. Our love was new and we needed, wanted, had to have as much time as we could to let it grow before we have to separate. I feel my arms tighten once more around her before I am completely unconscious and in the darkness we know as sleep.

A/N: So that was happy and emotional. I am getting closer to ending this story and I am excited about that. It's bitter sweet but so happy as well. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. We are getting an emotional Shane and Mitchie for now but the next few chapters will be happy as well. The next chapter is the graduation and other prom, then one chapter for each month and the final one so 5 more chapters maybe 6. I really liked this chapter and glad I got it up so fast. The next one will be a few days though and not as fast. Also I am doing a sequel and am still developing it but I got a rough idea of a summary so here it is. The sequel is called fighting for him.

Fighting For Him

Long distance isn't supposed to be easy but was it supposed to hurt this much? Too much to bare they end it. Shane becomes a super star player through-out the US in his freshman year at UCLA. Mitchie is outstanding and top of her class within the first month of Julliard still with heartache. She finally realises the mistake she made but it's too late. To be his she will be fighting for him. Is the heartache worth all that? When an opportunity arises is it time to let go. Is it time she forgets the heartache, the love and do this for her? Fame can be overcome but a heart broken twice can't be, is fighting and losing all worth it. With everything to lose will she chose to keep fighting for him or finally do what's best for her.

So I think it will be good and have many ideas for it. I hope you will all follow this story into the next one. I just got 100 reviews and I am excited about that. I hope you enjoyed this chapter any favourite part? Mine was either when they dance to sparks fly, the way he described her natural beauty or the amazing talk they had at his house. They are so cute. Let me know what you thought. Please read and review, enjoy!
