Shane:' I will go check on your mum..' I nodded. He went upstairs, then nate took my hand.

Nate:' the bleeding stopped.. that's good..' I nodded.

Me:' I am fine nate..'

Nate:' mitchie.. you don't have to pretend infront of us.. you don't even have to be strong around us.. we are here for you no matter what!' I just leaned closer and hugged him. Shane came back down, he saw us hugging, he looked a bit mad but he didn't say anything.

Shane:' your mum is still asleep mitchie..'

Me:' okay.. good.. thanks shane!'

Shane:' no problem..'

Me:' is there something wrong?' shane looked at me, and at nate, then back at me.

Shane:' no not at all!' I stared into his eyes because I could see he was lying.

Shane:' what mitchie? There is nothing wrong!'

Nate:' what is wrong man? You see pissed!' shane then looked at nate in anger.

Shane:' YOU stay out of this!'

Nate:' woah, what did I do?'

Shane:' whatever man!' then he stood up and headed to the kitchen, I looked at nate confused and then we both followed him to the kitchen.

Me:' shane, talk to me! What is wrong?' shane was opening the fridge but then he shut it closed roughly!

Me:' God shane! What happened in those couple of moments?'

Nate:' come on man! Tell us already!'

Shane:' get out of here nate!'

Nate:' what?'

Shane:' GET… OUT…'

Nate:' fine man! Whatever!' then he was heading to leave when I caught his arm and pulled him back.

Me:' no you won't! what happened shane?'

Shane:' yes he will mitchie!'

Me:' not before you tell me why!'

Shane:' it is either he goes.. or I will! Your choice..'

Me:' I can't believe you are doing this.. now..'

Shane:' I gave you a choice mitchie..'

Nate:' it is fine mitchie.. I don't know what has gone into him! But I will go..'

Shane:' nothing has got into me! Do you think I am crazy or something?' and he was heading to fight with nate when I stood between the both of them.

Me:' stop it! Are you out of your mind? This is your brother shane!'

Shane:' mitchie make up your mind! Me or him?'

Me:' don't make me do this choice shane..'

Shane:' you have to..'

Me:' shane…'

Shane:' DO IT!'

Me:' fine shane.. I am sorry..'

Shane:' fine mitchie. You made the choice.' Then he turned around, walked to the door, then he looked at me one last time, and left. I went to the living room and sat on the couch, nate came and sat next to me.

Nate:' are you okay?' I nodded in refuse, he hugged me. Then I heard my mum coming down the stairs.

Mum:' hey..'

Me:' hi mum..'

Mum:' where is shane?'

Me:' I don't know.. maybe he went to change his clothes or something..' my mum nodded then she came and sat next to me on the couch.

Me:' so how are you feeling?' she forced a smile.

Mum:' I'll be okay baby girl..' I put my head on her shoulder and she patted on it. Then nate went to the kitchen to make my mum something to eat, he made her a sandwich, and then he gave it to her.

Mum:' thank you nate..' he smiled at her, she ate after we pushed her to do it. Then we heard a knock on the door, I ran to open it hoping it would be shane, but it wasn't, it was one of my dad's friends, his name was uncle john. When I opened the door he hugged me tight, he was at the funeral but we didn't talk much.

Uncle john:' I am so sorry mitchie..'

Me:' thank you uncle john..' then he came in, when my mum saw him, she hugged him tight, my dad loved him very much, then he sat with us in the living room, I went to the kitchen to make him coffee and nate came with me. My hand was shaking, so nate caught my hand and took the cup.

Nate:' I will do it mitchie..'

Me:' thanks nate.. nate?'

Nate:' yeah..'

Me:' what are we going to do about shane?' nate sighed.

Nate:' I don't know.. I don't even understand what happened!'

Me:' me neither..'

Nate:' maybe we should tell Jason? Or mr. brown?'

Me:' no no.. I don't think so… they have enough on their plate! Let's just wait and see..' nate nodded. He carried the 2 cups of coffee and he gave them to my mum and uncle john.

Uncle john:' so who is this young man?'

Me:' oh yeah right, you don't know him! This is nate gray, one of the members in the band called connection 3!'

Uncle john:' WOW! A rock star!' I smiled.

Uncle john:' so how do you know each other?'

Me:' we met at camp, he has been really helpful!' nate smiled when he heard that, I smiled back. A while later uncle john left, and my mum was tired so she went back to sleep, I didn't feel like sleeping at all, so I turned on the TV and found Spanglish playing, it was one of my and my dad's favorites. I watched and then tears started streaming down my face, nate was watching too, then he looked at me and saw that I was crying.

Nate:' oh man, mitchie!' he gave me a tissue then he came closer and hugged me.

Me:' I am sorry..'

Nate:' for what? Don't be mitchie..' he kept holding me then I fell asleep on his shoulder, he carried me to my room, then he went back to the living room and slept on the couch. The next morning I woke up, then I went to the bathroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth, then I got dressed. I wore my dark blue jeans and a dark green t-shirt, I wore green flip flops then I went downstairs, nate was still asleep, I smiled at his sight then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
