As I was making breakfast I heard the door bell ringing, I walked to open it and I found nate waking up rubbing his eyes, I laughed, when I opened the door it was Caitlyn, barron and sander. I hugged them all and they came inside, they laughed at the sight of sleepy nate.

Caitlyn:' is shane still asleep too?' I looked down and so did nate.

Me:' guys, who is hungry?' they all raised their hands, I laughed again, Caitlyn saw the cut in my hand.

Caitlyn:' mitchie! What happened to you?'

Me:' nothing Caitlyn, just a little accident!' then we both went to the kitchen, I made eggs, bacon and cheese, we also made orange juice. We ate together, then we saw my mum coming down the stairs.

Mum:' good morning guys..'

Everyone:' good morning mrs. Connie!'

Mum:' yum, that looks delicious!' we all laughed, she came and sat next to me after she kissed my head.

Me:' are you feeling better?'

Mum:' much better baby girl!' I smiled.

Mum:' I had a dream..'

Me:' a good dream?' she nodded with a smile, so I smiled back.

Mum:' I dreamt of your father.. he was smiling at me mitchie.. he seemed so peaceful and happy!'

Me:' he did?' and I had teary eyes, she wiped my tears away.

Mum:' yeah.. he said he loved us both.. and that he will always watch over us.. he told me to be happy that Ashley isn't alone anymore.. ' at that point I was crying, she stood and hugged me from behind.

Mum:' he said that he doesn't want to see anymore tears.. he missed our smiles.. and he said he knew that we love him..' I nodded, wiped away my tears and excused myself. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and Caitlyn followed me.

Caitlyn:' are you okay mitch?'

Me:' yeah.. yeah I am..' I pulled myself together then we both went back to the living room, nate looked at me and smiled, I forced a smile back, I sat next to him. We all talked for a while, and watched TV, we had a good time, I finally saw my mum's smile, so I was feeling a little better too. At night nate had to go home, and barron and Caitlyn were staying with me that night. Nate hugged me tight and then he left. My mum went to sleep, and barron slept as we were watching TV, so Caitlyn came closer to me.

Caitlyn:' so what happened to shane?'

Me:' nothing Caitlyn..'

Caitlyn:' mitchie, I know you! I can see that you are heartbroken!'

Me:' of course I am! I have just lost my father Caitlyn!'

Caitlyn:' I know.. I am sorry… I just mean I can see that something happened between you and shane.. or he wouldn't have left you!' I sighed.

Me:' I am not even sure what happened.. one minute he goes to check on mum, the other he is yelling at nate and kicking him out of the house!' Caitlyn gasped.

Me:' yeah and when I told nate not to leave shane told me it's me or him!'

Caitlyn:' NO WAY!'

Me:' yeah he did! So of course I let him go..'

Caitlyn:' oh man.. what is with the attitude?'

Me:' I don't know Caitlyn.. I really don't.. anyway whatever! I don't care..' Caitlyn then hugged me tight. We both went to sleep watching a movie, on the couch, next to barron.

The next morning my mum woke up early, she got dressed then she came to the living room and saw us asleep over each other, she laughed at that sight. I woke up at the sound of her laughter. I smiled at her, then she kissed me on the cheek and walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. I woke barron and Caitlyn up. Then I walked to my room to change. I wore blue jeans and a white shirt, and I wore red flip flops, I curled my hair and went to the living room again. They already started eating.

Me:' hey! I am hungry too!' they all laughed. I sat next to Caitlyn and ate, then the doorbell rang.

Me:' I'll get it!' I walked to the door and opened it to find mr. brown, Jason and nate, but no shane. They all hugged me and went to the living room. But nate whispered something in my ear.

Nate:' we need to talk..' so we both went outside the house and stood at the porch.

Me:' what is it nate?'

Nate:' shane..'

Me:' what is wrong with him?'

Nate:' nothing nothing.. don't worry! He just.. he didn't come home to me and Jason since the other day..'

Me:' what? Where did he stay?'

Nate:' I don't know.. in a hotel maybe..'

Me:' why? I don't understand anything!'

Nate:' me neither mitchie..' I took out my phone, and dialed his number.

Me:' shane?'

Shane:' yeah.. hey mitchie..'

Me:' hey mitchie? What is the matter with you shane?'

Shane:' nothing!'

Me:' where are you?'

Shane:' why?'

Me:' shane just tell me already!'

Shane:' fine! I am at the hotel next to uncle brown's house! Room 145.'

Me:' fine I am coming over!' then I hung up. Nate and I went back into the house.

Me:' mum I'll go out for a while! I'll be back soon, feed nate!' she laughed.

Mum:' okay baby girl but don't be late!'

Me:' bye!' then I left. I took a cap to the hotel and went to his room, I took a deep breath then I knocked on his door. He opened the door and invited me inside.

Me:' okay shane.. now tell me.. what is it?'

Shane:' what is what?'

Me:' why aren't you staying with mr. brown? Why are you mad at me and nate? What is wrong shane?'

Shane:' nothing is…' I interrupted him yelling.

Me:' don't you dare say nothing! I know you shane! What is wrong?'

Shane:' what is between you and nate?'

Me:' what?'

Shane:' you heard me! You hug! You trust him! You make a perfect couple!'

Me:' you can't be serious shane! This is me! And your brother! How could you?'

Shane:' how could YOU mitchie? Playing on the 2 brothers!' at that point I slapped him.

Me:' I never want to see you again!' then I ran out of his room, and I ran home, all the way I was crying. I got to the house, ran to my room and locked the door.

Mum:' mitchie? Mitchie what is wrong?'

Me:' nothing… mum.. I just.. I just need to be alone..'

Mum:' baby girl, I won't leave you like this!' then I heard nate's voice.

Nate:' mitchie open up.. please let's talk..'

Me:' I DON'T want to talk nate! I am through talking! I just want to be alone!' I was now weeping.

Mum:' okay sweetie.. we'll wait downstairs until you are ready to talk..' she waited for an answer but she didn't get any, she sighed and walked with nate back to the living room. They were all worried.

Mr. brown:' what is wrong with her?'

Mum:' I don't know mr. brown.. she didn't open the door!'

Caitlyn:' where was she anyway?' she saw nate looking down.

Caitlyn:' she went to shane?' nate nodded.

Mum:' why? What is wrong with shane and her?'

Caitlyn:' they fought mrs. Connie! That's why he hadn't been around for a while..'

Mum:' but what did they fight about?'

Caitlyn:' nate..'

Mum:' what? Why?'

Nate:' he kicked me out of the house, when mitchie stopped him he gave her a choice, either me.. or him.. she let him go and since then he hadn't stayed with us at home and he hadn't talked to me or mitchie!'

Mum:' oh my God.. mitchie must have been devastated! She hid her pain this whole time.. oh my baby girl..' Caitlyn hugged her.

Caitlyn:' we'll know what happened when she is ready to talk.. not let's just pray for her and give her what she needs..' they all nodded.
