Chapter 32: The Big Reunion Part 1

Mitchie flew back to New York after that night. She took the first flight out of California because she can't take it anymore. Her friends understood and let her go.

The next day she still skipped work. She was getting used to being free and away from the pressure of her father. But she knew she had to go back. She can't resign now, not when she needed her job the most. She needed it to take her mind off of Shane.

Since Caitlyn, Tess and Ella are still at California, she was able to meet up with Peggy and Phoebe who just came back from Paris and China, respectively. She needed someone to talk to. She doesn't care if she have to tell them everything again if that would mean that she won't have to hide anything from her friends anymore.

She was able to tell Phoebe and Peggy everything. They were shocked at first but they understood her. What Shane did to her was really unforgivable. But what shocked them the most was the fact that Shane came back and was ready to get her back.

"Mitch, are you sure that you can't forgive him?" Peggy asked.

"What do you mean Peggy?" Mitchie asked irritated. "The guy hurt me. He broke my heart!"

"I know. But coming from me, I mean I dated Shane. It wasn't easy, especially during those times that I see him flirt with other girls. But as what you have told us, I think Shane's changed Mitch. Maybe he changed at the wrong time but he did change and that is from someone who no one ever thought would."

"Yeah Mitch. Peggy's right. Like her, I was also hurt when he moved on to another girl right after we broke up. I mean, that's Shane. The guy who treats girls like shirt, once he has used them, he throws them at the dirty bin and changes to a new one. Get me?" Phoebe added.

"Way to compare us to the shirts girl…" Peggy laughed. Mitchie also laughed. "I think that's the best laugh I can get from you today huh?"

Mitchie smiled lightly then turned to frown again. "So you mean to say, that I should just forgive him after what he did?"

"No Mitch. What we are trying to say is, try to give him atleast a little credit." Peggy said. "Forgive him at the time that you are ready, but atleast realize that he is not the same jerk you met and that you are not one of those shirts that he threw at the dirty bin."

Mitchie really finds Phoebe's comparison so funny. But it wasn't enough to make her feel happy again. There was only one person who can. But she's not yet ready to forgive him. But maybe Peggy's right, I could give him a little credit for even coming back just to apologize to me. "I guess you guys are right." She finally said.

"Way to go Mitch. And remember, we're here for you always." Peggy said and Phoebe seconded what she said by hugging her friend.

It was a week after the California trip and Mitchie was back to work after her talk with Peggy and Phoebe. Like the girls, she was heading back to California to attend her high school reunion. She was sure going to see Shane there but like she promised Peggy and Phoebe, she's going to at least give Shane some credit. She was the last one to fly back to CA because she has still work to do. The girls had came for the reunion a day before to catch up with old friends who stayed at CA. But she decided to just come just in time to attend the event.

Mitchie was now at the airport waiting for her boarding announcement.

--

Meanwhile, at CA, the girls have been preparing themselves for the event. It was a formal event so they were in dresses and stuff. By the time they were done, their limousine was already parked at the hotel's front. Caitlyn who actually didn't graduated at CA High School, still went since she went there for her freshmen year and moved to England by her sophomore year where she met Nate.

Nate was her escort to the event so even if he isn't part of their batch, he was more than welcome. Shane was also in the limousine. He have gone close with Mitchie and Caitlyn's friends ever since they came back since he didn't only dated them, he also was in love with their other best friend. Jess and Justin were also there waiting for their ladies. It was a fun limousine ride. They chatted and drank champagne along the way. Their hotel was kind of far from the event venue so it was definitely a long ride.

"So, where's Mitchie?" Shane asked nervously.

Caitlyn smiled at him sadly said "She's still at New York."

"She's not coming?"

"Oh, she is. Actually she should be at the airport by now." Caitlyn said. "Hey, it's her." She said motioning for her phone and answered it. "Hey, Mitchie Bitch, where are you?"

"I just arrived. I'm kind of running late. Are you on your way?" Mitchie asked.

"Yeah we are. You want me to join you?" Caitlyn asked.

"No it's fine. But I have a favor to ask you…" Mitchie said.

--

The girls and the boys got out of the limousine and headed for the 5-star hotel that their batch representatives had set-up for their high school reunion. Caitlyn meanwhile held Shane back and told Nate to wait for her inside.

"Hey, you've changed your mind and chose me over Nate?" Shane joked. "Sorry to say Cait, I love your best friend."

Caitlyn smacked him "In your dreams Shane. I don't even know what Mitchie saw in you."

"What? What do you mean?"

"You remember the time I asked her if I could join her?" Caitlyn asked. "In the phone…"

"Yeah. Then you went to go hushing…"

"Well, she asked me a favor. And it concerns you."

Shane was loving where this conversation might head. "And how does it concern me?"

"Oh, take off that smirk on your face!" Caitlyn laughed "I already told the limo driver to wait for you. Pick Mitchie at the hotel, her room number is 302."

"Really? She asked you to ask me to fetch her?"

"Shane, I wouldn't be doing this is she didn't ask for it."

"Yeah. I know. Thank you…"

"Don't thank me. And please don't screw up this time…"

"I promise, I won't" Shane told her happily and went to the limousine to pick up Mitchie.
