"Mitchie! Come get some breakfast. We're going to be late for the trip." Mitchie's mom called from downstairs.

Mitchie groaned. She looked at her ring. It was gleaming in the sunlight. Mitchie went downstairs and got ready.

"Well, you're a heavy sleeper today." Mitchie's dad remarked.

Mitchie giggled. "Thanks a lot, dad. But I rather stay home today then go." she said.

John frowned. "Why not? This is a family vacation." he said, looking questionly at Mitchie.

Mitchie gulped. This always happens when Mitchie says stuff like that. "Well, I want to hang out with my friends. Get some time with them. Go out to dinner, that kind of stuff."

John shrugged. "Alright. I trust you. You are a responsible teenager and I respect that." he said.

Mitchie nodded. Sometimes her dad would be hard on her but she always finds a way to get out of it.

Maria appeared behind Mitchie's chair. "I hear you're staying home. Is it because of this boy?" she asked.

Mitchie pretended to shake her head. "What boy? I never met one since camp." she said.

Maria sighed. "Mitchie, I know you feel bad about Shane's problem. But just let it go. He will find some way to get out of it. Right now, you have to take care of our house while we're gone." she said and kissed Mitchie on the forehead. She winked. "Bye, Bearkins."

Mitchie smiled. "Bye. Have a nice trip!" she chirped and gave Maria a warm hug.

Maria and John packed their backpacks and drove off.

Mitchie sighed. Mom was so smart sometimes. She could even read my mind!

Honk! Honk! Honk!

Mitchie looked out the window. Right in front of the driveway, was Shane Gray waving at her.

"Mitchie! Tommorow is the final day! It is whether I live or die. But let's make this my last final day here." Shane said.

Mitchie frowned. It was already 5 months. The next day was really the last day!

"Mitchie, I want to tell you something first." Shane said and led Mitchie to the house.

They sat on the couch, unable too say something.

Then, Shane broke the silence. "Look, I want to say that I have never ever seen a beautiful girl than you. You really inspired me. I will never know if I will get a new heart. But that is not all. I can't stop thinking about you." Shane leaned forward and kissed Mitchie on the lips.

Mitchie was filled with shock. This is so cool! "Shane, I promise you will live forever." she whispered.

Shane grinned. "Hey, I want to sing a song for you." He took out a guitar. "This song is Sorry."

I'm sorry

For breaking all the promises that I wasn't around

To keep

If only

This time is the last time that I ever beg you

to stay

But you're already on your way

Mitchie gasped. Shane had loved her from the start! She cried into Shane's chest.

Shane patted her.

Mitchie's eyes were red. "Look, my parents are getting back now. I'm afraid you have to go." she said tearfully.

Shane nodded.

Mitchie led Shane to his car.

He said the last remaining words he needed to say."I love you." he said and left.

Mitchie slapped her hand to her forehead. He siad he loved her.

The front door opened then closed. In came John and Maria, who were dazed.

Mitchie quickly rubbed her eyes, but Maria was took quick for her.

"Honey, what happened to you?" Maria cried, hugging Mitchie.

"I... I... I g- ggot lonely." she sobbed.

John embraced her warmly. "There, there Mitchie. Next time you are coming with us." he siadand took her to her room.

The next day, Shane got out of his bed. Today was the laast day. In 12 hours, he will be on the ground.

Briinnngggg!!

Shane felt the vibrate of the beeper. He took it out and sighed. He quickly got to his car and drove to the hospital. There, he saw doctors waiting for him.

"My Gray, please hurry and follow me." The doctor said and hurried away.

Shane ran after him.

They arrived at a room. The doctor instructed Shane to lie down and sleep.

The operation took 11 hours.

Mitchie ran to the hospital, hoping Shane was there. To her relief, he was there.

"Shane!!" Mitchie cried, hugging Shane.

Shane hurried forward and embraced her.

The parents arrived, gasping.

"Shane, you're alive!" Nate cried, jumping on Shane.

Jason looked at Shane and grinned. "When we get home, I'll build you a bird house." he said.

Shane grinned back.

Mitchie ran forward and kissed Shane on the lips.

This lasted 3 whole minutes. They shook apart when the kiss was over.

"Mitchie, I want to tell you something. I'm goingto take you and your parents to Hollywood!!" Shane exclaimed.

Mitchie and her parents cheered.

"Come on! Let's go!" Shane cried.

The rest of the crowd jumped in the limo.

Mitchie was so happy, she kept kissing Shane.

They drove on and on, chatting back and forth, singing songs.

Shane thought this was a good thing. He wasn't going to be selfish anymore. It was time to be polite.

Shane and Mitchie continued to keep dating.

They drove off into the dark. Shane and Mitchie will live forever.

And that is the end of Chapt. 3. I know it's short but I was too tired. Shane happens to survive. The two happy couples live forever and ever and ever.
