AN: So this chapter is going to be interesting kind of sad, but then in the next chapter things will get complicated…

Have any of you guys heard Taylor Swift's new song? It's called 'Love Story' and it's a version of Romeo and Juliet where everyone gets a happy ending; so if you haven't heard it yet, go buy it; and Taylor Swift's new CD, 'Fearless' comes out on November 11th, so when it comes out, buy it!

Anyway, on with the story:

Mitchie's Pov

"Shane, I'm so sorry I left, I'd do anything for you to forgive me. I did something… stupid and… wrong." I begged. The realization of actually being here hit me.

Shane looked at me with tears in his eyes; I wanted to know what he was thinking, I wanted him to take me back and fix my broken heart. 'Have I waited too long?' was the only thing I could ask myself. Yet I knew that anytime now, I would know the answer.

"Baby, I love you, but the only thing is… I don't want this to happen again, I can't handle it. I can't take you back."

I felt like I was in an alternate universe, Shane telling me that we can't be together just isn't right.

"What are you trying to say? Do you even want me?" I tried to decipher his speech. He once told me he couldn't live without me. But no matter what I say, I'll never get that out of him now.

"I'm trying to say that I want you... but I can't do this." Shane said.

I knew that this wasn't the best way to tell him what he meant to me. And for once I thought: This isn't me.

"But I love you, I don't care what happens."

"I love you too… but I don't feel right about this." Shane looked down.

"Why does it feel wrong now? I mean we'd been living together for years before, what's changed?"

Shane looked at me with a sad expression on his face.

"Nate has, you should stay with him." Shane turned away and avoided making eye contact with me.

"Wait, how'd you know?" I softened my tone of voice so I didn't sound rude when I asked.

"Do you really want to know?"

"Probably not…"

"It wouldn't make a difference… I've really missed you. I've done everything I could to make myself forget."

"So you want to forget about me? You want to forget about us?"

"No" Shane took me in his arms and whispered "I just want to forget you saying goodbye."

"Please don't give up now. I want to fix this."

"I do too, but this will be easier if you just went home to Nate. But if I could, I would take you back.
