Disclaimer: I don't own anything! NADA. Except the plot of course :D
I was late for the meeting… the meeting with Nate and the record label about the stupid demo I had to bring in. of course I would be running late.
I burst through Nate's office door "I'm so sorry I'm late, my alarm didn't go off and-"
I stopped dead in my tracks; no one was in his office but, Nate, and him….Shane. Why was he there? I thought the meeting for that new pop sensation demo track meeting thing was today. Please tell me I didn't have the wrong date. All of these things were running through my mind when Nate interrupted my thoughts. "Yeah, I forgot to call you and tell you that the meeting was cancelled, apparently she's sick or something..." Nate sounded a million miles away…He sounded pissed off.
"Okay, well. I'm gonna- uh- I'll just talk- call you later Nate." I said backing out of the office. Both of their eyes were on me. I just kept moving backwards.
"Mitchie, wait. Can I talk to you for a second, out in the hall?" Shane spoke up. What did he want from me? He cheated on me with some fucking skank. More like multiple skanks while he was on tour. He clearly was not ready to be married to me three years ago. I was doing SO well with not seeing him too! I was glad I didn't have to see him and I was glad that I was finally doing something with my life, other than just being a rock star's wife.
"Why?" I asked in a disgusted tone.
"Can we please just step outside? Mitchie, it won't take more than 5 minutes." I said, more like pleading. What's the worst that could happen?
"Okay, five minutes." I say stepping out, keeping my eyes on Nate as I put my arm behind me to push down the doorknob and walk out. Shane followed suit.
"Okay, what?"
"I just wanted you to know that Kelsey and I are divorcing." He said.
I just stared at him. Why did I need to know this? Why was he telling me this? I didn't care that him and his skanky wife were divorcing, okay, maybe I did. I loved him, but I sure as hell was NOT going to let him know that. Not after what he did to me, not after all the pain he caused me, not after leaving me, even though he knew that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, even after he promised me that I could trust him no matter what. "Okay? Why are you telling me this?"
"I just wanted to inform you, you deserve that much."
I clapped, obviously bitterly. "Congratulations Shane. Congratulations. Second divorce by the age of 25. It's great. You're a real treat." I said very sarcastically. "What you cheated on her too? Or what, she cheated on you. Or hey, let me guess, you cheated on EACHOTHER!" I said acting sarcastically happy.
He was dumbfounded that I was acting that way. He was speechless, I could see it on his face, and he was searching for something to say. "Mitch-"
"No, you know what Shane, I just don't care. I really just don't. You can go do what you want, but if this was your way of saying that you're changing or you have changed and you want me back or some shit, save it. I just- I just have to go." I said turning around to walk out. I felt strong arms grab my wrists and turn me around. "Shane! Let go of me!" I yelled, pissed off.
"No, not until you listen to me. Truly listen to me." I calmed down, and let him talk.
"Okay, go."
"When I cheated on you on tour, I didn't know what I wanted. Well I knew what I wanted, but I was away from you for so long that I just took the opportunity to go with some one night stands. They didn't mean anything. None of them did. But I was hormonal and I was away from you. There was no sex between me and you for months because I would be on tour and I needed it. I wanted it. That didn't mean I didn't love you for one second. I did. I loved you more than anything, and honestly, I still do."
"Kelsey and I are divorcing because I don't love her like I love you. She's not my best friend like you were, we can't talk like me and you could. She wasn't you. And no, I didn't cheat on her!" He said.
"Oh, that's going to change everything that you did Shane. Clearly you love her more because at least you had the decency not to cheat on her." I said. I was pissed. I didn't know what I wanted at the moment, but I knew I didn't want to be having the conversation with him.
"Let me make this clear to you, Shane, you and me and NEVER going to be getting back together. We are done. That's for sure." I walked away, getting closer to the door.
"You act like I did everything wrong in our relationship, which I will take the blame for, but you did something equally bad. You are just as bad!"
I kept walking. What did he possibly have to say now, and then it hit me, did he know? No, he could not have known, there was no way.
"You kept my child away from me, Mitchie, you didn't care to tell that you were pregnant. You what, didn't want our child to grow up with a dad? Were you too scared? As far as I'm concerned, you are JUST as bad as me, maybe even worse, you heartless, bitch." He yelled after me. I was now stopped dead in my tracks facing my back to him. How did he find out? Through Nate? Jason? Caitlyn? How did he find out?
I slowly turned around.
"And you know what else, Mitchie? I do LOVE you, I did want to work this thing out between us, and I did want to talk about it like mature adults, but you, you- I have no words. You hurt me. You did. And yeah, okay, I will take the blame for what I did back then, but you have also got to take blame for this! I would never, I would never in a million years think about keeping your child from you." He was now, hurt, and I could here it, but what I did, I knew what I did was the best for our daughter.
"I did what was right for my daughter, Shane. You weren't ready to be dad; you weren't even ready to be my husband. I don't need to defend myself here. I did what was right for me. I don't owe you any explanation. I know I'm a good mom. I know I am. So don't, don't you dare, call me a heartless bitch." I said, going into defensive mode.
"Yeah, you're a great mom." He said sarcastically. "What do you do with my daughter when you travel all the time; leave her with your fucking nanny? Have someone else take after your responsibilities as a mother?" He spat.
I shook my head, "You know what. I'm done here. As far as I'm concerned you're just the sperm donor." I walked away.
"Yeah, YOU made that choice. I would have been a good father had I known she was in this world, you bitch!" he yelled after me, so angry, he was trying so hard to get me, it was working. I left that place as fast as I could and jumped in my car.
I sat in the driver's seat for a few minutes, just letting the tears come out, letting myself cry. I never let myself cry, not since Shane and I divorced, I wouldn't let myself. He is the only person in this whole world that could hurt me.
Not only was I hurt, but I was pissed. Who told Shane that I had a daughter? Who? I know Nate and Shane were not on talking terms. I know that for a fact, but today, he was in his office, did Nate slip up?
I could have easily been Caitlyn, or Miley. I have no idea.
I put the keys in the ignition and headed home to free the sitter. This was going to be the first time in awhile that I would spend so good QT with my baby girl. Had Shane been right? Was I really a bad mom for leaving her all the time to go do my job? Was I really that terrible of a mom? All I know is that I'm going to make a vow to spend more time with her, she's my world and I don't want her to think for a second that I am abandoning her for my job. I would never purposely do that to her.
So here it is! Chapter 2! So sorry it took so long to post. I've beeen so busy! It's finally summer so I should be posting more! 5+ reviews for next one, or I might not continue, just partly because I don't want to keep writing a story that no one is reading. I will be updating all of my stories today so keep and eye out!
And that was one big surprise that happened there. Did you see that coming? Hahah.
