A/N: I'm sorry it took me so long to post this! I've been crazy busy with stupid school work for a book I had to read in English. I also wanted to apologize for the last author's note about the comment I received, everyone is entitled to their opinions, suggestions, and ect. I am sorry for being rude about the matter. I hope people will still read this even though I can be dumb haha. Thank you!
Mitchie hesitantly knocked on her parent's hotel room door and took a step back, waiting. A few seconds later the door swung open and she was facing her father.
"Mitchie," He said surprised. "Hi. We didn't think we would be seeing you again before we left."
"I wasn't going to come," She said honestly. "But, Shane made me realized that it would be stupid and childish of me not to. I know that I would regret it later."
Terry engulfed Mitchie into a tight hug. "We love you, Mitchie, no matter what."
She smiled against his chest. "I know, Dad. Thank you."
"Terry? Who's at the door?" Connie asked, walking out of the bathroom.
Mitchie pulled away from Terry and looked up at Connie nervously. "Hi, Mom."
"Mitchie," She breathed. "What are you doing here?"
"I just came to say goodbye. I would never forgive myself if I didn't say a proper goodbye before you left."
Connie went to Mitchie and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, sweetie."
"I still love you, Mom. Nothing is going to change that."
"I love you too, hun, and I'm sorry for the way I reacted to Shane being here."
"And I'm sorry for yelling at you."
"Don't apologize. I would have yelled at me too." She pulled back, smiling weakly.
Mitchie hugged Connie once more and pulled back smiling. "When are you leaving?"
"Within the hour." Connie said.
"Do you need any help packing?"
"Sure, sweetie. Thank you." Terry smiled.
Mitchie was happy to be on good terms with her parents again. Though, she was upset that she had spent a majority of their visit being upset and ignoring them.
After seeing her parents off, Mitchie decided to go back to her dorm, feeling happy. Before she had the chance to get her door open, a hand violently grabbed her wrist, spinning her around.
"You little bitch!" Tess hissed.
Mitchie's eyes widened in fear. "What are you talking about?" She asked, trying to mask her shaky voice.
"You stole Shane from me!" She shouted.
Of course, this was about Shane. Mitchie should have guessed.
"I didn't steal him." Mitchie hissed, taking back her wrist. "He just realized that he didn't want to be with a conceded, stuck up bitch like you!"
Her confidence was rising.
"Oh, and he wants an ugly stupid bitch like you?" Tess snorted.
"What has you so convinced that he only left you because of me? There are plenty of reasons why someone wouldn't want to be with you." Mitchie smirked, crossing her arms over her chest.
Before Mitchie realized what was happening, Tess slapped her hard across the face.
"You know what you little whore, just back off! I had him first!"
Mitchie held her cheek and laughed. "Is that what you think? You don't know anything."
Tess raised her hand to slap Mitchie again, but this time Mitchie was ready and slammed her against the wall, twisting her arm behind her back before she could. "I'm not going to let you continue to bully me and push me around!" Mitchie said into her ear. "Leave me alone, got it? Just move on!"
With those last words, Mitchie released her arms and walked into her room, slamming the door behind her.
"Why is it you always seem to be upset about something when you walk into the room?" Caitlyn asked, sitting up from her bed. "What's going on? I heard something hit the wall just now."
"Everything's fine." Mitchie mumbled.
"What happened to your cheek?" Caitlyn gasped, stepping closer to her.
"It's nothing." She said lightly pushing Caitlyn 's hand away and stepping over to the refrigerator.
"Did somebody hit you? Was it Shane?" She asked, anger starting to rise in her.
Mitchie took a can of soda out, sighing, and shutting the fridge, facing Caitlyn again. "No, of course not. It was just Tess. It's been taken care of."
It was clear to Caitlyn that Mitchie didn't want to continue with the conversation so she chose to drop it, for Mitchie's sake but Mitchie knew it wasn't going to be the last of the conversation either.
It's now been a week since Mitchie's incident with Tess. In class, Tess now sat as far away from Mitchie as possible and no longer spent the class time sitting with her followers bragging anymore.
She hadn't meant to make her change; she only wanted to be left alone. She almost felt guilty, and that she should apologize for her violence, but quickly decided against it, not wanting to show a sign of weakness or an invitation to resume her behavior.
After class the following Thursday afternoon, Mitchie and Shane had made plans to study together, just to be able to spend time some together.
The two have been finding it difficult to find a night that they were both free to finally go on that one date Mitchie had promised Shane. So, they make do with study dates together.
Knocking on the door, expecting Shane to be alone, she hears a voice that doesn't belong to Shane or his roommate. When she the door finally opens, she notices Nate, standing behind Shane.
"Nate!" Mitchie squeals, pushing past Shane and tightly hugging him.
"Hey, Mimi!" He laughed. "Have have you been?"
"I've been busy!" She giggles a little. "How about you?"
"Hello to you too, Mitchie." Shane spoke, before Nate could respond.
Mitchie giggled and rolled her eyes, quickly pecking his cheek. "I'm sorry. Hello Shane."
"Much better!" He smiled happily.
Mitchie was happy to see Nate. It had been a long time since she had seen him and she did like how close they had become the last time he was in town.
"So," Nate asked a few hours later, after a lack of getting any studying done. "What's the deal with you two? Are you going to give your relationship another go or what?"
Nate's forwardness never seemed to cease.
Both Mitchie and Shane stayed silent, unsure of how to answer.
"Based off your silence I'm going to take it as you haven't done anything yet. Am I going to have to lock you two in a room until you work everything out?" He threatened, crossing his arms over his chest. "Well?"
"There will be no need for that." Shane finally spoke. "We just haven't exactly had the time. I mean, she agreed to go on one date with me but like I said, there hasn't exactly been time."
"Why don't you guy go on one now? You can get an early dinner." Nate suggested.
Mitchie and Shane both looked at each other. "What do you say?" Mitchie smiled. "I'm up for it."
He smiled as well. "I am too."
"Then go! Have fun you crazy kids!" Nate said.
"Will you be okay by yourself for a couple hours?" Shane asked.
"Yes, yes, I'll be fine. I am a big boy!" He laughed, pushing the two out the door.
