Chapter 18

Caitlyn sighed resting her head in her hands. She was an early riser, always had been since her Dad would wake her up every morning at 5am so she could get to school in time. Living in the middle of nowhere although offered peace and quiet it was no place for a girl to grow up. 45 minutes away from any civilization and an hour away from her school Caitlyn found she was absolutely dreading going back home.

Not only because she was loving being with her best friend, but she'd also gotten closer to Nate, and even Shane once he'd stopped moping around. Now she was a day away from moving back to the stone age, and found herself on the verge of tears as she sat in Mitchie's kitchen with her mug of hot chocolate keeping her company.

"It's called sleep, you should get some," Caitlyn jumped and looked up to see Mitchie yawning against the doorframe, her fluffy robe tied loosely around her pajamas. "Sorry did I wake you?" Caitlyn grimaced biting her lip. "No, no I just woke, I'm thirsty..." Mitchie smiled walking over to the fridge and retrieved a carton of orange juice. Not even bothering with a glass she drank straight from it.

"You're such a boy!" Caitlyn laughed amused as she watched Mitchie down the carton, she shrugged replacing it back in the fridge and wiped her mouth on her sleeve. "It's 5 in the morning, I can be a girl when the sun rises," Mitchie replied taking a seat next to her friend.

"So what's up?" she asked taking a sip of Caitlyn's drink.

"Oh nothing."

"Caitlyn come on, I'm not stupid," Mitchie nudged her in the ribs gently pushing her to talk but Caitlyn just shook her head, not wanting to make Mitchie feel guilty about her current homelife situation.

"It's nothing honestly, I don't want to talk about it-" Caitlyn started, but seeing Mitchie wasn't about to let it drop she quickly changed the subject. "- So are you and Shane okay now?"

It was Mitchie's turn to be silent now. She bit her lip and looked down thoughtfully, the truth is she didn't know how to answer that question. Sure things were better now, way better but Shane still hadn't answered her question and it worried her. She knew after all he'd said she should just drop the subject, but it was still lingering at the back of her mind, how many other girls had he kissed? Or more...

"Yeah," she finally answered looking back at Caitlyn who raised her eyebrows, "care to elaborate?"

"Well he said some things made me realize you know, he does care about me..."

"What kind of things?" Caitlyn interrupted smirking but Mitchie shook her head tapping the side of her nose, "that's for my ears only," Mitchie laughed then continued as Caitlyn motioned for her too.

"I never thought being in a relationship could be so hard but so great at the same time," Mitchie smiled shaking her head, "I mean when I'm with him, I don't want to leave but sometimes he drives me insane! And yet I can't get enough."

Caitlyn grinned at her friend, happy that Mitchie and Shane finally got their act together, it was so obvious from the start and yet it'd taken this long. God people just need to open their eyes!

Little did she know Mitchie was thinking exactly the same thing, she'd seen Caitlyn and Nate together and though they fit perfectly, like salt and pepper she smirked.

"Well I'm happy for you, and if I was you I'd just forget this 'how many girls' Shane's been with stuff." Caitlyn said wisely standing up and stretching. "Wha..." Mitchie stuttered also standing up, wondering how on earth Caitlyn knew about that.

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"MmmMMmm,"

"Shane?"

"Mmm yeah?"

"Thats... disgusting."

Mitchie cringed as Shane dipped the table spoon in the jar of peanut butter then licked it all off slowly just to annoy her. "Mmmm tastes good," he mumbled licking his lips before leaning forwards and kissing her across the table. "It tastes gross!" She whined pulling away and wiping her lips, hating even the smell of peanut butter. "So what are we doing today?" he asked finishing up he stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her stomach, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"Urm I was thinking we'd catch the train to the city and go shopping." Mitchie looked up hoping he wouldn't noticed how much she'd actually planned their day date thing. He smiled brightly kissing her forehead, "I don't care, I just want a day with you," he murmured sweetly tapping his fingers in a rhythm on her arms.

She leaned back against him and smiled, "okay well I'll just go get ready and come back here in 20 minutes?" She turned in his arms planting a quick kiss on his lips before ducking under his arms and out the door.

"Where are we going now? Mitchie stop, I need to sit down!"

"Shane, stop complaining. I just want to have a look in here; it's the last one I promise." she nodded her head at the small boutique.

"That's what you said about the last ten." Shane paused sighing to himself, "MITCHIE I REALLY NEED TO SIT DOWN!"

"PLEASE SHANE!" She yelled back and grabbed a hold of his arm.

Shane sighed once again and rolled his eyes but she could see his lips were threatening to curve up into a smile, "Fine, but after this we go wherever I want!"

"Thank you." She smiled and kissed his cheek.

She entered the store and grinned at all the beautiful outfits, however having no money and which Shane constantly whining she only spent a few minutes in there before the headed out. In promising Shane she'd do what he'd wanted after, they both headed over to the Shake Shack and brought two milkshakes, then headed over to the park.

"Want some?" Shane asked offering Mitchie his milkshake.

They both stopped walking, "what flavour is it?" she asked standing in front of him.

"Just plain chocolate." Shane replied spinning the straw in his fingers smiling down at her. His handsome face glowing in the Autumn sun, his perfect teeth sparkling.

"Nah, I think I'll just stick to this." She smiled and waved her bubble cup in his face.

"What flavour is that?" Shane asked, looking at the drink in her hand wistfully.

Mitchie however shook her head, "I'm not telling, just encase you like it and decide to hog it all."

"I would never do such a thing to you, you mean too much to me." Shane smirked and suddenly leaned in catching her off guard, his lips brushed against hers and his tongue teased her lower lip making her feel weak at the knees.

He pulled away still smirking and smacked his lips against each other, pausing in thought. "Mmmm, very interesting." He began, "I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of green apple mixed with grape and a hint of cherry."

Mitchie furrowed my eyebrows confused and amazed, her mouth dropped open slightly, he was right. "How'd you guess?" She demanded putting one hand on her hip.

Shane flashed her his cheeky grin and leaned in towards her ear, "Well, I sort of heard your order it." He whispered teasingly.

Mitchie laughed and pushed him back, "Then why are you asking me what flavour it is?"

He shrugged, "Just an excuse to kiss you." He replied nonchalantly, they both laughed and began walking hand in hand down the busy street

By the end of the day Mitchie's feet were killing her, Shane conveniently offered to carry her but of course she'd had to reject his offer. She didn't think it would have been very appropriate walking down the busy city streets like that, especially with all the posh looking business people swarming the place just waiting to pass judgment.

"Favorite performance ever?"

"Hmm...New Jersey," Shane grinned intwining his fingers with Mitchie's as they sat by the lake, Shane was leaning against the big oak tree with Mitchie between his legs resting against his chest.

She moved her head the side so she could see him better, "no way?" she questioned smiling.

"Of course, being in the same state as you made it the best," he grinned happily, though she wasn't sure if that made sense she giggled, "you didn't even know who I was back then!"

"Oh those sorrowful, empty, soulless days..."

"Shane shut up," she grinned shifting in lap slightly so she could face him. "Well!" he scoffed looking affronted, though his lips curved into a smile.

Shane rested his hands on her legs, running them up and down in attempts to warm her up, "Nah I guess it was this little venue outside of Houston. One of our first gigs, you know way before the record changed our sound. It was just us and our music and not that many people listening. It was the first time I realized that this is what I was born to do..." Shane drifted off looking dreamily across the lake.

Smiling, Mitchie leaned up and kissed his jaw as she couldn't reach his lips. "You're so cute," she laughed as he tilted his head to the side. "You mean rugged and manly," he winked correcting her.

"Nope. Just cute."

"Rugged!"

"Cute!"

Before Shane could argue back Mitchie interrupted "I've had a great day with you," she smiled kissing him softly.

Placing her palm on his cheek whilst the other snaked its way around his neck, she sighed happily. Shane grinned his hands traveling up her sides, whilst his tongue ran across her bottom lip making her shiver. "Me too."

Mitchie could feel Shane's heartbeat pounding through his chest as she ran her hands up his toned chest, reaching his shoulders she began to push away from him slightly. "We should head back," she blushed biting her lip that was still tingling. Shane smiled softly and brushed her fallen hair back behind her ear. "I want to stay here," he whispered capturing her lips again pulling her back down.

This was the closest they'd been since their fight and Mitchie knew exactly how Shane was feeling. She didn't want to leave either, resigning she kissed him back, shortly afterwards however Shane pulled back and sighed.

"I guess we should leave now," he ran his hands up and down her arms, "why?" she frowned at his sudden change. Shane smiled sitting up and shrugging off his jacket, "because you're freezing Mitch," he laughed wrapping his jacket around her body and quickly kissing her again.

Standing up slowly he held out his hands, "come on Mitch." Standing up with him, they made their way back to the station hand in hand, the feeling of incredible happiness coursing through her.

"Have fun guys?" Caitlyn smiled as Mitchie and Shane strolled in the door, their arms around each other.

"Could ask you two the same question," Shane smirked as he took in the sight of Caitlyn and Nate curled up on the sofa together watching Titanic of all films.

"If you're not going to tell us about your day, then SHUSH!" Caitlyn snapped blushing, Mitchie and Shane laughed, both settling down in the arm chair to watch the remainder of the film.

Mitchie blinked back the tears as she watched the film, not wanting to seem stupid she subtly leaned up and brushed the tear that was clinging to her lashes away.

She felt Shane's hand reach up to her face and his thumb brushed gently across her cheek feeling the wet tear streak. "Oh please tell me you're not crying," he murmured in her ear teasingly.

"Its sad!" she hissed burying her head further into his shoulder, "aww poor little Mitchie," Shane smirked kissing her cheek feeling the salty taste of her tears on his lips.

"Hey Sugar and Spice will you shut it?!" Caitlyn said causing Nate to burst out into laughter, Mitchie stuck out her tongue at the both of them whilst Shane gripped her waist tighter.

Shane leaned down again and whispered "I'm so spice... cos I'm hot," he winked causing Mitchie to snort out loud.

"WILL YOU GET OUT!" Caitlyn yelled with tears in her eyes, from the film or not Mitchie couldn't quite tell, but seeing Nate glance at her worryingly she decided to let him handle it.

"Okay sorry," Mitchie pulled Shane to his feet and they both headed to her room.

Once the other two had retreated safely upstairs Nate leaned over to Caitlyn, "what's wrong Caity?" he asked softly watching as she furiously brushed the tears away. "Its... it's a sad film," she lied settling back down in the couch.

"I'm not stupid Caitlyn," Nate smiled putting the film on pause so she'd stop watching and ignoring him.

"It's nothing Nate," she sniffed repeating what she'd said earlier to Mitchie. He raised his eyebrows and gingerly placed his hand on top of hers. "Tell me?" he pleaded staring into her eyes knowing she'd give in soon.

Sighing Caitlyn leaned her head back on the couch, "It's... my Dad, my house, home, I hate it Nate," she whispered blinking back even more tears that were threatening to spill.

Nate remained silent hoping she'd continue. "We live in the middle of nowhere! Ages from even the local shops! My Dad locks himself in his study all day burying himself in work, I just sit around doing nothing and I HATE it!" She thumped her hand down into the cushion glaring at nothing in particular.

"I'm sorry I didn't-" but before he could finish she interrupted again, "he never talks to me! He hates me and I feel so alone, I would run away except there's nowhere to run too!"

Not knowing what to say he simply put his arm around her and let her cry into his chest, gently stroking her hair.

"We'll figure something out Caitlyn," Nate said reassuringly.

The two jumped as they heard more voices, "yeah we will Cait," Mitchie promised walking in the room with Shane trailing behind, "you're not going back there." Shane added firmly putting his arm around Mitchie as the four stayed silent.

"Thank you guys."

Thought I'd add titanic in there cos I was watching it with friend and he cried! :P well there wern't actually tears but i could hear him sniffing!

Haha he kinda ruined the sad mood though when he said 'what a b**** she could've totally shared that wood thing! But noo cos all women come first, thats well sexist!" :P
