I own nothing, except my imagination...
EnchantixTracy: I am very happy with this chapter, because I kind of wanted it to be through Shane's perspective...
Bold Font: This is a continuation from the last chapter, and we begin from where Mitchie is in the restroom and everyone is standing outside, worried.
I came out of my room at the sound of voices. I went in the living room to see Nate, Jason and Caitlyn all looking worried
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Well," said Nate, "I met up with one of Caitlyn's friends today and we brought her here. And then she sort of had a blankout, and then she got kind of panicky,"
"She's in the restroom now," added Jason.
"Okay," I said.
"This is so strange...I mean, she's never been like this. She's so bubbly and happy all the time. I wonder what's wrong," said Caitlyn, almost in tears.
Then Jason looked up and said, "Mitchie!,"
We all looked up, and I couldn't believe my eyes. It was HoolaHoolaGirl herself. We made eye contact.
And then I saw something in her eyes. It was fear.
But before I could process it, she turned to her heel and ran away. We all stared after her. We heard the elevator door close, but not before hearing a strangled sob.
Caitlyn started to run after her, but I stopped her and went myself. While waiting for the elevator to come back up, I looked at Nate staring at me in surprise.
I tore my eyes from his and went into the elevator.
Once in the lobby, I rushed outside, and made it just in time to see her get into a taxi.
I got into my car and made my way to her house.
When a girl is sad, she either goes to sulk in her BFF's house, or goes to her own home to be alone. And since HoolaHoolaGirl's...I mean, Mitchie's BFF is in my apartment, she can only go to her own home.
And since I've been there before, I know the way.
I know all this girl info because each time my dad would cheat on my mom, wither she would go to Mrs. Wood's house, or sulk in the living room.
Anyway, as I reached her home, I saw a taxi exit the driveway.
Jackpot.
I went and knocked on the door.
And nobody opened it.
So I went behind the house, trying to remember the best where her room was. Once I was sure, I found a window that I was sure that it belonged to her room.
I climbed up the tree right next to it, and rapped on the window glass.
Please hurry I thought I might fall any second.
Thankfully, I heard the window lock being opened.
The window opened, to reveal a shocked Mitchie.
"Sh-Shane," she stuttered.
"Um, hey," I said, "Can you let me in?"
She moved aside without hesitation and I went inside. The first thing I noticed, was her mascara streaked pillow.
The second thing I noticed was her mascara streaked face.
I pulled her to me and let her cry against my chest.
We both knew that I was responsible for this, but it was a kind of mutual understanding between us that I was going to comfort her.
Once I felt she was done, I pulled her back and took a look at her face.
But she only hugged me again.
I then lay down on her bed, and pulled her down with me.
She snuggled up to me and then I felt myself falling into a deep sleep.
xXx
I woke up to Mitchie stirring against me.
She looked up as I looked down, and within a second, we both flew to the opposite walls of the room.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? You let me in your window, remember?"
"No, I mean, what are you still doing here?" she asked.
"I fell asleep," I muttered.
"Well then," she said, "Now you're awake. You can go,"
'What you really mean to say is," I said with a smirk, "That you want this sexy asshole to stay with you,"
"I do not...wait, did you just call yourself an asshole?"
"Um, yeah," I said, "Look. I was a complete asshole the other day. You see, this was the very first time I read fanfiction, and when I read yours, I panicked. I'm so, so sorry. I should not have over-reacted. My brothers told me not to do this, but I was obsessed with the fact that I had to make you feel pain. It just didn't feel right when you could make me feel pain without even knowing me, and...and...,"
And then I stopped because I had tears in my eyes. I realized how terrible I had been. I barged into her own home and was rude to her. I called her a whore and threw a roll of cash to her and told her to get an abortion...And then I felt something cool on my cheek.
I looked up and saw Mitchie standing in front of me with fresh tears in her eyes.
"Sh-Shane," she choked, "That was, beautiful! Of course it's okay! I forgive you,"
"Why?" I whispered.
"Because you deserve it," she whispered back, and we both broke into sobs. We lay down again, but this time, I snuggled up to her.
I wanted warmth, and she gave it to me.
And all l gave her was sadness.
xXx
I woke up, and looked around an unfamiliar room.
My eyes landed on a dresser, and I saw a picture of Caitlyn, with Mitchie.
I then remembered - Mitchie!
I looked around, and no one was there.
I went down the stairs, to be greeted by smell of roasted chicken.
My stomach rumbled, and I went into the kitchen.
Mitchie was there, with her back to me, as she was frying something.
I coughed and she turned around. We looked at each other for a long time.
"Mitchie, I," I began.
"Dinner?" she interrupted me.
"Okay. What are we having?"
"Spanish rice with roasted chicken,"
"Sounds good," I said, and then my stomach rumbled, "and filling,"
We stared at each other and then burst out laughing.
xXx
Dinner was great. We chatted about everything.
Her parents were out for the weekend, and she was alone.
I asked if she wanted to bunk with us, but she said that it was okay, since Caitlyn was bunking with her.
We then decided to watch a movie.
She and I both chose Jurassic Park.
We settled down on the couch, and enjoyed it.
Bold Font: Here's what happened:
7:00 pm: Shane wakes up.
7:30 pm: Shane and Mitchie eat dinner
8:15 pm: Shane and Mitchie watch Jurassic Park.
After the movie, I decided to leave.
Mitchie walked me to my car.
"Shane," she began, "About what happened,"
"Yeah," I said, "I'm sorry,"
"No. I just want to say that whatever happened, it's over now. Can we be friends now?"
"Aren't we already?" I joked.
She laughed, and I did too.
We then reached my car, she pulled out her hand to shake it.
But I surprised her by pulling her to me and hugging her.
She hugged me back.
"Bye Mitch," I whispered.
"Bye Shane,' she whispered back.
"Call me if you need anything, okay?"
"Okay,"
"And if anything happens, I'm just a call away, okay?"
"Shane, you just said that twice,"
"Sorry. I'm just worried,"
"It's okay,"
"Bye," I whispered one last time as I got into my car and drove back to the hotel.
I was glad that Mitchie and I were friends now.
Things were finally getting better.
Bold Font: The end of another chapter, fellies...
EnchantixTracy: I told you not to call them fellies.
Bold Font: Shut up pixie.
EnchantixTracy: Don't call me pixie, Cold Font.
Bold Font: Reviews make me happy.
EnchantixTracy: Me too fellies!
Bold Font: I told you that you're stupid.
