Sorry. Again. I broke my promise. WAAH! I'm good now. Here's the next chapter. Now this time, I'm sure I'll be able to post tomorrow! Enjoy!

"Sorry! I'm back!" Shane yelled as he bursted though the doors. Mitchie's relatives stared at him oddly but then turned back to whatever they were talking about. Except for one who gave him a sexy wink. Shane shuddered before Mitchie grabbed him by his arm and pulled him to the side.

"Shane! I need to warn you about my cousins," she whispered.

"Why? Who? Is it Ashley? Is she gonna prank me or embarrass me or—"

"No, it's not her or Jaiden. This is my other cousin. She's a few years older than me and—"

"Mitchie? Is that you?" An eighteen-year-old girl, between Shane and Mitchie's heights walked up to them. She had cerulean blue eyes and her straight brown hair had blonde highlights. She was also wearing a green tank top (Shane's favorite color, of course. Mitchie rolled her eyes) and blue short-shorts. "O-M-G! It is you! And is this your boyfriend?" Mitchie nodded as she hugged Shane tightly. "Hi, I'm Stephanie." Her voice was low and her eyes were full of lust and want.

Shane tightened his grip on Mitchie and replied back, "Hi, I'm Shane Gray, Mitchie's boyfriend."

"Yeah so like, how did you two even end up being together? I mean, like yeah, Mitchie's voice is okay but yours is like so awesome. And sexy," she added quickly.

Shane looked at Mitchie. She was slightly offended by what her cousin had said but when she looked at Shane's expression, he was clearly asking, 'What should I do?'. Mitchie slowly nodded, letting him know to answer truthfully. "We met at Camp Rock. First, we were basically best friends but then I heard Mitchie sing and I fell in love with her." Mitchie and Shane shared a quick kiss. One of Mitchie's uncles and aunts looked disgusted as they watched the two stare at each other, all dreamy eyed.

"So, this is your boyfriend, huh?" Mitchie's Uncle Jeff asked as he eyed the teen. Shane just froze in place while Jeff's wife huffed.

"Please, why would she need a spoiled rock star brat for a boyfriend?" Aunt Julie huffed.

"See? They think of me as a rockstar," Shane whispered to Mitchie but suddenly snapped up. "Wait what?"

"You heard me, brat. You're nothing but an egotistical, spoiled brat who only thinks for himself. Why would Mitchie want a boyfriend like you?"

"And what would you two know about love? You're only teenagers."

"Hello? I'm right here?" Mitchie and Shane chorused, both annoyed. Then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Shane yelled. When he was gone, Stephanie pulled Mitchie to the side and hissed darkly in her ear,

"You may think you have Shane but just wait. By the end of this weekend, he'll be in my arms." Stephanie's expression changed from dark to innocent in an instant as she let go of Mitchie's arm, leaving Mitchie dumbfounded and frozen on the spot as she left.

Meanwhile at the door...

"Jas? Peggy? What are you guys doing here?" Shane asked the two.

"I wanted to see Mr. Torres and ask if he'll let me work in his garage for the afternoon," Jason answered holding up what looked like the roof and some pieces of a birdhouse.

"And I'm making sure he doesn't hurt himself, he makes it correctly, and just to help and say hi," Peggy added.

"Uh-huh. Okay, Mr. Torres is out back so you guys can come in, I guess," Shane said as he stepped out of their way. Jason and Peggy walked inside but were first stopped by Connie.

"Oh, hi you two! What's up?" she asked as she put down some plates.

"Oh, I was just gonna ask Mr. Torres if I could work on my birdhouse in his garage since, you know, he owns a hardware store," Jason answered.

"I'm sure he won't mind. The garage is just down that hall, last left," Connie replied pointing in the direction.

"Thanks Mrs. Torres," Peggy responded.

"No problem honey, but please call me Connie?"

"Okay Connie," the couple said together. They went into the direction Connie pointed out but only to be stopped once again, but this time, it was Stephanie.

"Aren't you Jason Gray?" Stephanie gasped as Jason nodded. "Hi, I'm Stephanie."

"I'm Jason," he replied cluelessly.

"And I'm Peggy, his girlfriend," Peggy continued. She quickly noticed Stephanie shooting daggers at her but ignored it. "Come on Jas, let's go finish that bird house." She tugged on his hand, pulling him out of his clueless daze.

"Huh? Oh yeah! Hey! Do you think a wood pecker might come to it?"

Peggy laughed at her enthusiastic boyfriend. She gave him a peck on the cheek before saying, "Maybe, Jas. Maybe."

"Come on Cait. No."

"Come on Nate! Let's go!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I'm not crashing a family get-together."

Sander just happened to walk up to them. "Crashing a get-together? I'm in."

Caitlyn gave Nate a look. "See? Sander will help. Hey, where's Barron and Tess?"

Sander shrugged. "Barron's got a date with Lola and Tess left to visit her parents since they're in town. Jaime's hanging out with me since he already met the family. He could join us."

Caitlyn gave Nate a puppy dog pout. "Please Nate? Sander and Jaime are coming, too?"

"I'm coming where?" Jaime asked as he walked up to the group. "Where are we going?"

"Crashing a get-together."

"Oh, totally! I'm so in." Jaime high-fived Sander while Caitlyn still pouted towards Nate. Nate tried to hold up his tough guy act but it dropped when Caitlyn started kissing his neck.

"Okay, okay," Nate sighed. "I'm in."

"Yay!" Caitlyn cheered. "To the Torres'!"

"Well Shane, why are you dating Mitchie?" Stephanie asked. Ashley and Jaiden rolled their eyes while Mitchie shifted in her seat. Shane gave her, Mitchie's Uncle Jeff and Aunt Julie confused looks.

"I thought I answered this already," Shane said, confused. "I love her and she loves me back."

"Really?" Stephanie smirked. "Then do you know about Mitchie's past?"

"What past? I'm her first boyfriend. Right Mitch?" Mitchie gave Stephanie confused looks too but nodded to Shane.

"Oh, so you don't know about Dean?"

Shane's brow furrowed. "Who's Dean?"

"Mitchie's first. For just about everything."

"WHAT?" Mitchie and Shane shrieked.

"Honey, are you not telling us about someone?" Connie asked her daughter.

"What are you talking about Steph? Shane is Mitchie's first boyfriend. And you say I don't know her," Ashley scoffed.

"Wait, so Dean's not real?"

"No, he's real," Mitchie answered. She noticed Shane's shocked face so she continued. "But he never was my boyfriend! He was my best friend!"

"And you were each other's firsts?" Shane asked, slightly glaring and fuming.

"No. We—"

"Of course they were, that's why Mitchie doesn't wear her purity on her ring. It's on her necklace. I mean, she wanted to keep it from everyone but I guessed that you would have a right to know," Stephanie interrupted, batting her eyes at Shane.

"You're such a bitch!" Mitchie screamed before running up to her room.

"Michelle Demetria Torres!" Aunt Julie yelled at her before she heard Mitchie's door slam.

"Uh...I'm gonna go home. Thanks Connie. Thanks Steve," Shane muttered as he walked out.

"I'll come with you!" Stephanie perked up.

"No. I'm going home. Alone," Shane emphasized.

"Oh, okay," Stephanie sat down and put on an innocent face but inside, she was boiling 'cause she knew Shane was still thinking about Mitchie. When Shane got to the door, he immediately saw Caitlyn, Nate, Sander, and Jaime.

"Hey Shane. Where you goin'? It's only 7pm," Caitlyn said.

"Home," he replied and left without another word.

"Oh, hi guys! Wanna eat with us?" Connie asked as the four walked in.

"Thanks!" the group chorused. Stephanie internally groaned as she slumped in her seat.

"Where's Mitchie?" Sander asked before stuffing his face with another Torres burger. All of them just couldn't eat enough of them.

"She's in her room. She's not feeling so good because of something that happened earlier," Connie explained, glaring at Stephanie without her noticing. "I'm sure she'll be fine."

"Shane wasn't look so hot either," Nate added.

"Well, it affected him, too."

"What did?"

"Kids, it would be better if they explained it to you." Everyone shrugged and went back to eating. Soon enough, Jason and Peggy came out from the garage.

"TORRES BURGERS!" Jason screamed loud enough to make the entire house shake. He almost dropped his bird house but Peggy caught it just in time for him to run over to the table and fall face flat into the burgers.

"JASON!" the group yelled.

He looked up from the burgers with a full mouth and an innocent look on his face. He swallowed and asked innocently, "What?"

I just had to end it like that. I love Jason! Ooh...Smitchie drama... Review!
