Yay! If I get this chapter up by tonight, I will have updated Tk this and posted a new story called 'Under the Moonlight' Thank You all so much for the positive reactions for I hate you don't leave me. Apparently we all have a song in common, I was just awesome enough to write the one shot first :P

Disclaimer: I don't any of these characters or the songs or the mashup

Now to see how the parents react:

Alex's POV
We sat on the couch in the grand living room of the Torres' mansion. Mitch and I sat next to each other with a small distance between us. Her father paced back and forth in front of us while her mother sat on the love seat across from the couch. I looked nervously to Mitchie hoping for some sort of comfort. She flashed me a brief, faint smile and took my hand in hers giving me a reassuring squeeze. She should be the one freaking out, it's her parents. But if they kick her out, that means I'll be back on the streets and so would Mitchie and it will be all my fault. Finally her father stopped pacing and let out an angry sigh. I found myself wishing he'd continue treading a hole in their floor.
"What are people going to think about this? We have a reputation to protect, do you think this helps any?!" He yelled at us. I flinched back into the couch and I felt Mitchie scootch closer to me and wrap her arms protectively around me.
"Why does it matter what other people think? This is the 21st Century, most people are gay these days!"
"Were not most people Michelle! People look up to us, we're supposed to set an example! This is not something I approve of!"
"Dad!-"
"Don't you say another word" He told her then turned to me. "I want you out of my house and away from my daughter you hear!? I don't want you soiling her!"
"DAD!" Mitchie screamed the same time her mother said "Steve!" He turned to his wife.
"Connie! Don't you see she's messing with our daughter! She's forgotten her morals entirely!"
"Steve I think you're being to hard on them. I honestly don't see anything wrong with this. They are two teenagers obviously in love. Do you really want to take that from them?"
"It's wrong! What they are doing is wrong!-"
"How is it wrong!? They aren't hurting anyone. You're the one hurting them! Look, it's just like when we were in their place-"
"That is different! We were fighting for something that was right-"
"To US! It was right to us, not to our parents, and what is happening now is right to them! You need to see this from their perspective!" The screaming match continued and it was like I tennis match. The ball was hit back and forth between the two at a high speed because of the heat behind their words.
I looked to Mitchie who was watching in astonishment.
"Im sorry" I whispered to her with tears in my eyes. "This is all my fault."
"No Alex, why does everything have to be your fault? You've done nothing wrong" She told me and we looked back to see her parents were finished with their match. The results; We had to keep the relationship a secret and Mr. Torres had to sleep on the couch, which wasn't much of a loss since their furniture was really expensive, but I guess that's just 'cause I was used to sleeping on park benches.
They didn't really like the idea of us sharing the same bed anymore, but they didn't do anything about it because they knew of my anxiety about staying alone in a room. You'd have thought I would have gotten over it crying myself to sleep for years but I haven't. The next week went by rather slowly and it was awkward being around Mitchie's parents, so we mainly avoided them which wasn't hard to do. I still had to see them when I opened their doors or cooked their food. Apparently I'm a natural when it comes to cooking. I just need to see a recipe and I can make it perfect and sometimes I had good judgement and was able to put my own delicious spin on it. I spent the days I wasn't around Mitchie working on my surprise for her. It was definately what I was going to need to show her I could be brave. Because of the whole catching us making out thing, her father tried to keep us apart as often as he could. Now instead of once a month, she had to attend the aristocrat meetings every other day. I had been working really hard on my vocals and somehow Mr. and Mrs. Torres still don't know I can talk so Mrs. Torres was very surprised when she walked in on me singing in Mitchie's room. I hadn't even known she was there.
"Oh my word" I turned around startled not knowing someone had heard me. Connie Torres stood in the doorway with her hand on her chest. I immediately jumped up and put Mitchie's guitar on the bed.
"I'm sorry I didn't think anyone would hear me"
"Don't apologize! Why didn't you tell us you can talk?" I shrugged.
"It just never came up."
"Well, you have a beautiful voice, so does Mitchie. Ooh, You two should sing together!"
"No! I mean. Mitchie doesn't know I sing. I've been working on a song for her and I dont want her to know till I show her."
"When are you going to show her?"
"Today. When she gets home."
"That's wonderful! I wish you the best of luck!"
"Thank You" I smiled to her as she left with an excited squeal. Ms. Torres supported us 100% I waited anxiously all day perfecting my strumming on the guitar. I had learned online how to play and I was able to pick it up pretty quickly. I figured out some chords for Mitchie's song along with my. I was basically using her song to answer her.
I heard the car outside and I immediately put the guitar up and flew down the stairs to the door. I was able to open it before she could. She thanked me before starting up the stairs. When we got to her room she started rummaging through her closet and her drawers.
"Looking for something?" She looked back at me and smiled.
"Yeah, but its not really important" She told me going to her bed and lying down.
"Ugh I hate those stupid snobs!" I giggled as I walked to her closet where her guitar was. I took it out of it's case and put the strap on.
"Alex, what are you doing?"
"You'll see. I found something and I wanted to give you an answer." I told her. I started strumming the chords smoothly as she sat up and watched me in wonder. Her expression grew to shock when I started singing.

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let him push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

He held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
He hears my voice, hears that sound
Like thunder gonna shake his ground
he held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
And I really want to let you know

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
He held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
he hears my voice, you hear that sound
Like thunder gonna shake his ground
He held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
And you're gonna hear me roar

I hope I did okay. I look to see Mitchie's reaction. She was still staring in shock. She obviously recognized her own song mixed in there. I just now realize that her song must have been what she was looking for that 'wasn't important'.
"So what'dya think?" i asked her nervously. Her expression changed from a look of shock to a huge smile before she leaped off the bed and wrapped her arms around my neck once I pushed the guitar so it was hanging off my back.
"That was amazing! I loved it!" She said then kissed me shortly but passionately on the lips leaving me in another daze.
"Hmm I should write you songs more often." I told her before bringing her in for another kiss.
