ANYWAY enough of me rambling, you've probs already skipped straight to the story :P

So heres

Chapter Sixteen!

"Urmmm... Shane?"

"Mmm?"

"Have you uhh... seen my other shoe?"

"Under the bed, Mitch."

"Oh.. right, thanks."

Mitchie sighed heavily as she reached under the bed to pick up her other converse, the dry conversations that had filled the 2 hours they'd both been up was started to get to her. She just knew last nights conversation wasn't over, and clearly by the way he was tapping his foot impaciently for her, Shane hadn't forgotten about it either.

"Before the sun sets Mitch." Shane spat out, repeating what she'd said to him yesterday though with far more aggression in his voice. She didn't really get the big deal, why was he so angry at her? It was just a question, she was nervous that he was so much more experienced and would think of her as a little amateur kid.

Ignoring his sarcastic comment and feeling the anger boil inside her Mitchie took her time, making slow exaggerated movements as she tied up the laces.

"Michelle!" Shane yelled from the door, making her jump slightly. Thats it! No way does he get to full name me!

"WHAT SHANE?!" She yelled back equally as loud, jumping off the bed and squaring up to him, he mirrored her stance crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"We. Have. To. Leave. NOW!" He gritted out, his jaw tightly clenched, though his tone had quietened making her even more angry. What the hell is his deal?!

Getting incredibly fed up with his attitude Mitchie slung her bag over her shoulder, pushed Shane forcefully out the way as she reached the door and left. Shaking with anger, she honestly didn't know what'd happened. Last night was weird and awkward as Shane 'subtly' put as much space between then as he could, with his back facing her. Then when they'd awoken today he hadn't said a word but stormed into the bathroom and locked the door.

After the two hours of getting ready had consisted of her trying to get him to talk, and him murmuring under his breath, his eyes had flashed when Mitchie said "Your mom says we have to leave at 11," to which he'd muttered something like "and of course you always listen to her" Not really making much sense Mitchie shrugged it off and continued getting ready in the awkward silence.

"Jason I'm going in the car with you." Mitchie stated jumping into his two seater car, the only possible way she could escape Shane for another 1 or so. Jason nodded smiling, "of course, hold on to your seat though, this baby likes to go fast." He petted his car lovingly, making Mitchie smile despite the anger swimming inside of her.

She looked back over her shoulder as Jason started the car and saw Shane watching the two, his arms crossed and a seething look spreading across his face. Biting her lip she turned back round and turned up the radio.

"So again and again she's got me going, round in circles my head, she's got me spinning, what to do, what to say, I can't make it out this way...

... As we sit around and talk about how lame we really are, I watch you dance around to New Found Glory in the front seat of my car..."

Mitchie grinned as she sang along to the radio with Jason. "We're awesome," Jason nodded his head proudly turning the radio down slightly so the two could hear again.

"Yes we are," Mitchie grinned high five'in Jason quickly as he took the hand off the wheel, "so have you written any more songs?" he asked tapping fingers on the wheel to the music.

"Urm... yes and no... except not yes..." Mitchie laughed at Jason's confused expression and shook her head, "I started to, I just haven't finished it yet, I'm hoping Caitlyn will be able to help," Mitchie smiled excitedly as she realized she'd be seeing her best friend in a couple of hours.

"Oh god that reminds me, I haven't even asked your mom," Mitchie grimaced imaging Caitlyn being sent back home if Mrs Gray didn't approve, "don't worry Mitch she likes you, and besides you live like 20 feet away," Jason laughed going faster in the car as they hit a long straight empty road.

"Jason!" Mitchie squealed as the car picked up speed, he grinned airily not slowing and it was at that minute Mitchie regretted getting in his car.

Jason plus the attention span of a fish plus an extremely fast car, equals nothing good.

"It's fun!" He laughed, she knew he had control of the car but the sheer speed was enough to frighten her a little. Suddenly she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and opened the message received, her hair whipping in her face from the strong wind.

Shane.

Tell Jason to stop the car. NOW.

Mitchie chewed her lip nervously, not only did he sound pissed but there was no 'x's' and he used many a full stop. All that adding up to nothing good.

"Jase, Shane said stop the car now," Mitchie yelled over to Jason who was bopping his head along to the radio oblivious to the danger of going so fast. "Jason!" Mitchie yelled as they swerved round a corner at top speed.

Again her phone vibrated in her hand.

Shane.

Stop the fucking car Mitch!

What does he expect me to do exactly?! It's not like I'm driving!

Fuming once again from Shane's attitude Mitchie turned to Jason and yelled, "Stop the CAR!" Finally hearing her Jason's grin slipped off his face, "oh damn I'm in trouble aren't I?" he sighed slowly up considerable whilst look at her.

"Well it was stupid going that fast," Mitchie pointed out then yelled "JASON!"

She squeezed her eyes shut, pulling her legs up towards her chest as she heard the other car heading straight towards them sound their horn angrily. The screeching of tires and cloud of dust surrounding her told her they'd survived... just.

Coughing as she inhaled the dust Mitchie reached over to the car door and opened it quickly, slipping out. Stumbling she almost fell but was caught by two arms. "Are you okay?!" Mitchie glanced up at Shane, her anger almost forgotten as she saw the worry shining in his eyes.

"Fine," she brushed herself off looking over at Jason who was getting a verbal beating from his Dad. "Fucking idiot," Shane growled his hand resting on Mitchie's back, shrugging him off Mitchie shook her head, "he was just having fun," Mitchie said quietly though she was still shaking from the experience.

"Don't defend him Mitch, only an idiot would go that fast on this road," he muttered taking her elbow and leading her over to Mr Gray's car. "Get in, I'll drive us back," Shane ordered the worry gone and replaced with a hard expression.

"You okay Mitchie?" she turned to see Nate stepping out the car as well, nodding she felt a few tears slip down her cheeks, Nate leapt forwards and pulled her into a hug, "he has no road safety sense, we were going to tell you to come with us, but he drove off," Nate mumbled rubbing her back soothingly. Mitchie opened her eyes, peering over Nate's shoulder she saw Shane frowning deeply, their eyes met briefly and his jaw clenched looking away. That of course brought more tears to her eyes so she buried her head in Nate's shoulder.

"For god sake just get in the damn car!" Shane muttered turning on the engine as the two climbed in the back, resuming her position of ealier Mitchie rested her head against Nate and closed her eyes.

"Someones got an attitude problem," Nate commented shaking his head at his older brother who just rolled his eyes. "Stay out of it Nate, it's nothing to do with you!" Shane snapped driving past Jason and Mr Gray who were not in a heated argument.

Mitchie finally having enough of her boyfriends behavior spoke up bravely, not caring if Nate was there.

"So what does it have to with Shane?! Why the hell are you being such an asshole?!" she yelled looking at him in the mirror, he sighed heavily glancing at Nate, clearly not wanting to discuss it with him present.

"Not now Mitch," he muttered his voice softening along with his expression. "Are you sure you're okay?" he asked looking over his shoulder at her.

"Fine, thanks for your overdue concern," she whispered sarcastically before resting her head back on Nate who remained silent, squeezing her hand gently then rested his head on top of her. She heard Shane let out a low growl obviously not liking the two of them getting close in the back seat, but he'd just have to deal.

"Caitlyn thank god!" Mitchie yelled looking out her bedroom window to see Caitlyn jumping out of a cab, "Mitchie we still need to talk," Shane said blocking the door way, she paused looking down shaking her head gently.

"Shane we've been sitting in my bedroom for an hour, you've had plenty of time to say something, right now my friend's here and I'd really appreciate it if you left me alone for a while," she mumbled before stepping past him, bundling out the door and flinging her arms around Caitlyn who laughed surprised.

"Woa, it's good to see you again too," Caitlyn laughed hugging Mitchie back, then noticing the tears leaking out of her friends eyes frowned, "whats wrong... what's he done?!" She groaned seeing Shane leave Mitchie's house looking nothing but pissed.

"I don't even know, we're arguing over nothing... or at least to me its nothing... and I nearly died today in Jason's car," Mitchie explained brushing her tears away and taking one of Caitlyn's bags. "Come on, lets get you unpacked, I phoned my mom this morning and she said it'd be fine, she'll be back in a few days. Oh and Mrs Gray said it was fine as long as we pop in before school... oh but you won't be going... Oh my God I totally didn't think about what you'd do when I go to school!" Mitchie rambled leading Caitlyn to her bedroom.

"Mitchie relax it's fine!" Caitlyn laughed hugging her again, "I'm sure I'll find some form of entertainment, god knows I do it at home," she grinned sitting down on Mitchie's bed. "So tell me, whats up with jerky pop-star over there," Caitlyn nodded towards the Grays house. Mitchie sighed sitting down next to Caitlyn and began to explain everything that had happened since last night, tears occasionally escaping.

After a long conversation with Caitlyn Mitchie felt much better and the two decided to call on Nate and hang out in the local park, sitting down on the fresh grass next to the river.

"Go on Caitlyn!" Nate laughed pushing Caitlyn slightly as she sat with her arms crossed glaring at Nate playfully.

"No!"

"Go on, do it Caity,"

Mitchie smirked as Caitlyn blushed at hearing her nickname slip from his mouth. "I don't wanna," she protested looking at all adults playing in the water.

"You have to, you lost the bet!" Nate argued standing up and pulling her with him, "don't look at me!" Mitchie laughed "he's right, you lost the bet, if either one of us lost you'd make us do it

"Thats so not the point! I didn't think I'd lose," Caitlyn admitted laughing, "well you did so now you have too!"

"But my clothes-" before she could get out another word Nate smirked putting his hands on her shoulders and pushed her backwards into the water. Screaming she hit the water causing a huge splash, Mitchie laughed so hard clutching her stomach as it pained her almost. Nate had his hands on his knees as he gasped for breath after laughing to hard, Caitlyn emmerged from the water and glared up at the two, Mitchie could've sworn she saw a flicker of a sly smile cross Caitlyn's lips and instantly knew what she was going to do.

Winking at Mitchie, Caitlyn swam to the bank and pouted up at Nate, "help me out please?" she smiled coyly holding up her hands, bending down he reached and grasped her hands in his, however once he felt he tug he tried to pull back realizing what she was about to do, but responding too late he let out a yell as he fell in the water beside Caitlyn who was laughing to herself.

The two played around in the water, flirting shamelessly Mitchie noticed rolling her eyes whilst grinning, she always knew they'd get along great. Noticing Mitchie sitting with a dreamy expression on her face Nate turned towards her, splashing her with the water and waved her in. "Come on Mitch get in!" He grinned spitting out the water that had entered his mouth whilst laughing.

"Urm how about No? The waters dirty," Mitchie scrunched up her nose shaking her head.

"Ch-ch-ch-CHICKEN!" Caitlyn yelled splashing Mitchie once again.

"Urgh fine," Mitchie grumbled standing up, she paused then began to run, taking off she landed in the water with a huge splash, "TIDLE WAVE!" Caitlyn smirked as Mitchie resurfaced and splashed her in reply.

"You know we're not allowed to be in here," Mitchie pointed out laughing as Caitlyn jumped on her back. "So? Rules are made to be broken," Nate grinned ducking under water and tugging on Mitchie's legs, pulling both her and Caitlyn under too.

"Jerk!" Mitchie yelled batting Nate who just laughed and swam away from the two, "oh this is war!" Caitlyn smirked then nodded to Mitchie and they both took off after him, giggling and enjoying the afternoon that to Mitchie, had made up for the extremely crappy morning.

Buzz Buzz, Buzz Buzz, Buzz Buzz.

Mitchie groaned rolling onto her side and fumbling in the darkness for her phone that was vibrating on the side which abruptly stopped once she'd got her hands on it. Squinting from the brightness of the screen Mitchie sighed.

One Missed Call: Shane

Buzz Buzz.

She jumped as it started to vibrate again, but instead of a call it was a text message, opening it she glanced at the clock and groaned once again, 1:AM.

Shane.

Mitchie I'm sorry okay? I've just had a shitty day it's not an accuse I've been an ass and I'm sorry. I hope you're okay, I'm going to fucking kill Jason once Dad's done with him. We still need to talk though...
