"Why do you care? You don't want me here. I'm just a burden." Mitchie snapped.
"No Mitchie, you're not. My mom told me everything. You didn't lie. I'm so sorry for saying you were trying to steal my parents."
"You were wrong to say it, too."
"I'm sorry. Why did you try to commit suicide?"
"Because no one wants me. I don't have any family left. No friends or anything."
Shane moved onto her bed and took her face between his hands.
"Mitchie, I want you. I love you. You've always got me. Brother or boyfriend."
"I'll never see you as my brother. You'll always be the person I love. Shane, I love you, too."
Shane kissed Mitchie and she leaned into him.
"Let's wait till we are home." Shane said.
"Okay." Mitchie replied.
Denise walked in and smiled.
"Good to see you up, Mitchie. And that y'all worked everything out." She said.
"We're going out now." Shane said.
"It's about time. Well let's get you home. The doctor said you can go home."
Mitchie smiled up at Shane.
