Mitchie's Pov

I grabbed my stuff and ran out of his house.

I felt a pair of arms catch me and stop me from going anywhere. I didn't resist. I needed it.

I broke down into tears; I didn't understand why this was happening to me.

I couldn't get over anything, everything that was happening was only making the pain worse, I was pretty much alone at this point; I couldn't get over a single thing. And for me to be completely over it… my situation had to change, I realized that everything that seems too good to be true probably is.

"It's okay Mitch"

"No it's not" I knew that Shane was the one who was trying to comfort me. He stroked my hair while I cried; he knew just how to calm me down.

"I saw what happened. I understand how you feel." Shane told me, but that was the last thing I expected him to say, how could he possibly know what happened? I didn't ask him, besides; I probably didn't want to know. All I wanted right now was for Shane to keep holding me, I missed this feeling, and I don't want to think about what would have happened if I never left. I would avoid the subject so to speak, there's no use in making myself more depressed than I thought possible. I knew I couldn't do much for myself, but I can control what I do.

The signs were there, he was moving WAY too fast, I could tell that there was something up. From the time we met to just now, where I am now, was only about a month. I couldn't believe it ended so fast; but a month only seems fast for a relationship, not when it takes you a month to catch on to something so obvious.

Shane picked me up and carried me all the way to Nate's house. I started breathing much more quickly, my heart started pounding. My future was right before me. I was going to break the chains I held myself in. Or maybe the ones that Nate held me in, either way, I was one step closer to finding myself again. I was ready to be myself.

I couldn't have made it to the door if Shane hadn't been with me; I was afraid Nate would tell Shane to back off as soon as he opened the door, but I was shocked when he pulled me into a hug.

"Nate, what's so amazing about me being here?" I asked, I felt weird about the whole situation. He didn't know a lot about the whole situation. He didn't know a lot about what happened if anything. I hoped I'd never have to tell him. I teared up at, for once, seeing the caring side of Nate, not once have I really seen it until now.

"You were gone half the night, I had no clue as to where you were and I didn't expect you to be here with… Shane."

"Well, yeah, it's kind of a long story. But we probably shouldn't get into it right now, it's late and-" I was cut off by Nate. And at that moment Shane got into the house and stood right next to me.

"Now would be a good time, and Shane can help you tell the story, I do not care how late it is." Nate said, knowing that Shane wasn't just going to abandon me right now. I didn't expect that attitude from Nate, but I guess it made sense that we would explain everything to him. I suddenly felt small; I knew I didn't have a good reason to feel that way. I was afraid.

I nodded, and Nate led Shane and I into the living room, we all got onto the couch, me in the middle, with Nate at my left side and Shane at my right. I was closer to Shane than Nate though.

I was feeling as good as I could possibly feel in this situation.

I wasn't ready to explain to Nate what I caught him doing. I couldn't even begin to tell him all that I felt, I've discovered that it wasn't his love that I needed. It was Shane's… I wanted Shane's love as well; the difference between wanting and needing is extremely immense. But for once, they could be linked together.

I was waiting for someone to find me, I found the one person that I loved the most right in front of me. So I ended up here. Sounds like your average fairytale… except this was literal; I really found Shane right in front of me. But how was I going to explain all of that to Nate?

"So what happened?" Nate asked, urging me to speak. I wanted to tell him, but it was awkward with Shane right beside me. I guess this was a turning point for me. I wished I could disappear at the moment though. It definitely hadn't been the best day, but at the very least, I couldn't sink any lower than this.

"Well it all started with a stupid mistake. I left Shane; I moved in with you, I don't know why I moved in with you. But I guess it was the easiest thing I would have thought to do. I'm not trying to offend you… but that's how I feel." I started, but became fearful again. "I tried to apologize to Shane, but he didn't wanna take me back because somehow he knew about you. Then I came home and you started freaking out. Then you left to go on a date… and I caught you making out with some girl, and th-"

"What?!" Nate nearly screamed at me.

"Yeah… that's what I thought."

"How'd you find out?" Nate slightly softened his tone of voice, knowing that I wasn't going to be yelling back. I wasn't really that kind of girl.

"My eyes" I simply stated.

"Sorry I freaked out… you may continue."

"Okay… well after that, some guy found me… he was sweet, like way too sweet. We knew each other for about a month before what happened earlier today when he tried to…" I trailed off, and Nate nodded, signaling that he knew what I meant.

"And Shane just magically happened to appear and take you home?"

I smiled up at Shane before saying "Well, pretty much."

"I see… anyway, I understand. And don't worry; I'm not mad at you. And Shane, you can stay as long as you want."
