Chapter 7 – Thunder

(A/N this is a year later. Mitchie and shane are 17 now.)

A year later, Shane and Mitchie were still going strong. One night denise and paul had left them alone for the weekend. Shane cooked Mitchie dinner and wrote a song for her. He went up to her room.

"Mitchie, can you come downstairs? I have a surprise for you." Shane said.

"Yeah I'll be down in a minute." Mitchie replied.

Shane smiled as he walked downstairs. He sat his guitar up and waited for her door to open. She walked into the dining room. As she entered, shane stared singing.

'Today is a winding road

That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa

Today in the blink of an eye

I'm holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines

I tried to look in your eyes

I want a simple explanation; what I'm feeling inside

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road

Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know, whoa

Today I'm on my own

I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone, I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass

And longing for the breeze

I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain,

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope

I'm wrapped up in vines

I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time

Strike me down with lightning

Let me feel you in my veins

I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road

That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other?

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Oh baby bring on the pain

And listen to the thunder

Mitchie stood in amazement.

"Shane, that was amazing. I loved it." Mitchie said.

Shane stood up and went to her.

"I love you, Mitchie." Shane whispered.

"I love you, too."

"I made dinner. All your favorites."

"You didn't have to."

"I know. But this is the first weekend we've had alone in awhile. I wanted to spoil you."

Mitchie grinned and sat at the table.
