Thank you guys so much for the reviews they mean the world to me and keep me motivated! =]

Thank you to my regular reviewers too =]

Enjoy lots of smitchie!

I smiled at the message on my phone and got to typing.

Just not up for skool 2day thnx anyway Shane u always know how 2 mke a grl smile. x Mitch. - and how to make a girl weak in her knees, you also make my heart jump out of its position every now and then, just for the record.

I was so happy, and I dont even know why. I guess it was because of Shanes message, and I was feeling Connect 3 today so after showering I put on one of my many Connect 3 T-shirts. It was purple and had the faces of Jason, Shane and Nate printed on it along with 'Connect 3, I love 'em' text. I paired it with white skinny jeans and smiled at my complextion on the mirror.

"Perfect." I whispered.

I sighed as I heared my phone vibrate for what seemed like the millionth time that day. It was another unknown number and I didnt want to pick it up, I'm sure it was paparazzi. The number of calls I got today could sum up the number of calls I recieve throughout the whole year, seriously.

I decided I needed a new sim. I can't live with so much attention, it's just not me, so I sent Moe out to buy me one. Life is good.

I heared the doorbell ring and ran joyfully to the front door to answer it.

"heeeeyyyyy.." I sang to Justin who was standing on my front door with a expression I couldnt quite read.

"Mitch you're dead!" He warned and suddenly I found myself being chased around by him in my house, I didnt even know why I was running.

"Jus, what are you doing?" I asked as I ran to the kitchen, not knowing where to go.

"Half of the school population turned out in pink today..." He replied, still chasing me.

I let out a loud laugh as I ran one side of the counter on the kitchen, me on one side and Justin on the other.

"Do you have any idea how many guys asked me out today?" He asked trying to capture me, but I ran out of the kitchen and to the living room as fast as my feet would take me, still laughing.

He finally got his grip on me and started tickling me on my stomach like crazy. I laughed in pain as the laughter hit my stomach i fell on the couch with Justin on top of me.

"Jus....st-st.." I let out.

"This is revenge Mitchie, sweet sweet revenge.." He smiled with a huge smirk on his face.

"Pl-please Ju-, stop.....I-I'm going to di-die of.." His tickling got more hard and I found myself going red in the face.

"I expect an apology.." He damanded with a hint of satasfaction in his eyes as my laughter cut through the silence of the house.

I was glad mom was at one of her book meetings and Olivia was showering Macy because if anyone saw us I was sure they would think we were making out.

I managed to place my feet on Justins chest distancing him from my stomach, when I suddenly heared a knock on the front door. Shit I forgot to close it. I looked over diagonally which gave me a clear view of he front door, but before my eyes could go there the person who had knocked was already in the living room.

"I'm sorry, did I interupt anything?" Shane asked with an embarrassed tone.

Fuck. What was he thinking? I hope he didnt think we were......arrrrghhh thats so disgisting. Justin is like my brother.

We both got of, of each other fixing our clothes and hair which probably looked like a hay stack.

"No, dude. I was just trying to tickle Mitchie here, to death.." Justin clearifird.

I smacked him hard on his shoulders and looked at Shane who seemed to be laughing. Oh...how I love that laugh.

"No, Shane. Dont do that. Some things in this house will go into a coma..." Justin warned.

I could feel the blood rush to my face again, embarrassed I looked at my feet, but in my mind I wanted I wanted to kick Justins ass, real hard.

Shane was still laughing, looking at me and I couldnt help but laugh at myself either. Was it that obvious?

"So, my 'girllfriend' seems to be a bigger Connect 3 fan than I expected." He eyed my T-shirt, laughing.

"What? I'm increasing my 'boyfriends' sales by buying thier merchendise, so you should be happy." I laughed.

"I am...." He smiled.

I blushed the shade of a rose and focused on the floor, it was the only thing I could look at without feeling embarrassed and I dont even know why.

Oh yeah, I remember. I love the guy who's standing infront of me, that's why. Duh.

"Okay Romeo and Juliet, I'm out of this place.."Justin walked away with a face that said oh-fuck-my-sister-is-gonna-get-all-musshy-musshy-with-a-guy-and-I-dont-wanna-see-whats-gonna-happen-next-or-I-might-puke.

I laughed at his expression and turned back at Shane.

"He's a little crazy..." I explained, smiling at the guy of my dreams.

"I like him....and anyway how has my favourite student been? I didnt see you today at school...is it because of the-"

"No!" I spat out. "It's not because of the kiss. I just didnt want to go to school today, I knew people would kill me with their glares and all the girls would have probably come with knives so..."

He laughed. "Yeah, I'm guessing they did, but dont worry I wouldnt have let anything happen to you.."

Yeah Shane I like you too.

"Thanks."I replied shyly. Mitchie and shy? how did that happen?

"I didnt even have your class though.." I remembered.

"Yeah, but it was Nates first class, teaching.."

"oh yeah"

"Dont worry you didnt miss much, ask him he'll tell you what he taught.." Shane assured.

I uncomfortably placed my hands in my pocket swaying on the heels of my feet.

"So, did you talk to her yet?" I asked changing the subject.

"Not yet." Why was I even asking? I sound like such a pervert.

I felt a dagger being stabed into my heart. I didnt like the fact that he had a girlfriend eventhough he was just a friend and was not actually seeing her, it just killed me probably like its killing half of the school population thinking that we are seeing each other.

"Oh..." I tried to smile. Ofcourse, no luck in doing that.

"So, I was wondering do you want to go hang out somewhere.....as friends" He added.

I bit my lip at the last part, but atleast he's my friend. How many girls can say they hung out with Shane Gray? Not many, other than his girlfriends, so that thought made me happy atleast.

Mitchie, remember today is your sister-sister day? Oh yeah....darn man!

"I promised Macy I'd take her to the park, I havent in ages, but you could come with us" I offered

"Great! I'll bring Jake too he always whines about wanting to play with her." Shane smiled.

Shane and I sat on the two swings swaying up and down slowly, talking. Jake and Macy were playing together on the slides and I was glad the park was for the residence of our area only otherwise I'm sure we would have been captured in photographes again by the papaazzi.

We were playing 20 questions when we were suddenly interupted my a red looking Macy.

"Swwane.." She whispered.

Shane looked up at her holding he in his arms. "Yes Princess?" He asked softly. I loved the way Shane was with Macy it was so cute, it just made me want him even more.

"Jakee gimme boo boo..." She complained showing her tiny hands which had been accidentally scraped by Jake while playing.

gorgeousness must be running in their genes. Each Gray brother was handsome enough to be a runway mode. The youngest Gary resembeled Nate most. He had dark brown curry hair which fell to his face and small hazel coloured eyes with the most beautiful smile. Yes. I'm obsessed with smiles.

"Princess, Shane will scold him for giving you a boo boo, lets go and teach Jake how be be nice to girls.." He smiled as he got up with her.

"Hey, be nice. Jake is just a kid."

"I will, dont worry, but he has to be told how to treat my little princess here...she only deserves the best.." Shane declared stroking her hair as Macy giggled uncontrolably.

"Yeah..." I sighed.

"Come on Mitchie you know she's more prettier than you and I call her princess, so you're jealous, admit it."

My eyes shot open. "What? Me jealous of my 4 yearold sister? yeah and I'm Americas next top model..." I added sarcastically.

I swear I heared him say something under his breath, but I couldnt quite understand.

"Hey Mitch, give me your new number.." He pulled his iphone out of his pocket and gave it to me with a smile. "Try not to break it, I'm comming back in a sec.."

"FYI I have a iphone myself and I can gladly say I havn't broken it.....yet.." I shouted as I watched him and Macy go towards Jake at the far end of the park.

I smiled and glanced at the phone in my hand and saved the new number. I was waiting for Shane to return when I felt the phone vibrate in my hand.

'Cheryl' It stated.

I could feel myself being filled with hatred and jealousy. It was like a rush of emotions. I was tempted to answer it. One touch and I would be talking to the wicked witch of Hollywood, but how can I answer it? It's not mine. I looked over at Shane who was too far away to even hear me call his name and decided It's not mine to answer, but the vibrations would never end. She kept calling and calling, the iphone continuously vibrating in my hand.

I finally picked it.

I could hear the person on the other line gasp. "Shane....Shane? What happened? Why aren't you picking up my calls...is there someone else? I saw you and some random girl on TV. Who is she?I'm woried baby. I love you...It's been weeks...I dont get it...Shane are you there?....baby tell me what's the matter I can never get a hold of you...I can't lose you.." Damn. Fuck. Bitch. She was definately an actress. She deserved an Oscar I tell you, an Oscar.

I didnt know what to say. It was too late to go back know, but the words didnt seem to go past my mouth.

"Uh...Hello?" I spat out, sternly.

I swear I heared her faint on the other side of the line. "Its that girl" I heared her whisper to someone, her manager most probably.

Shit. Mitchie what have you gotten your self into?

"Mr. Shane Gray is currently unavailable please leave a message after the beep." What? What the fuck was I saying? Mitchie you need to consult a doctor, immediately!

I didnt know what else to say. I wanted to verbally abuse her, but that would probably make Shane mad, and I didnt want that. It wasnt even my battle to fight. He needed to talk to her it was his battle.

Cheryls breathing had a confused tone and I didnt want to say anything more or speak to that bitch so.."Beep"

"What? Who is this?" She asked.

before I could say anything further I heared the line go blank and I sighed in relief.

"Well someone's nosey" I heared the voice that I could distinguish from all the voices in the world and looked up. I was caught. RED-HANDED.

"Im sorry....I-I'm sorry...I didnt....I'm sorry.." I stuttered, embarrassed.

"You would make a good secretary, you were very convincing.." He smirked.

"I'm glad that atleast one career option is open for me....." I half smiled. "I'm sorry..I just got tempted"

"Dont worry about it..." He assured. "So, it was her huh?"

"Yeah..."

He sat on the swing next to me looking a little upset, but I dont know how he was feeling inside. I wish I did.

"I'm sorry.."

"No it's not you, it's her.." He told me. "What did she say?"

"She asked why you are not picking up the phone, is there someone else? She saw you with me and asked if there was something going on and said she loves you and cant lose you..." I revealed.

"Oh.." was the only thing he could say.

"Are you okay, Shane?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Do you want to write a song or something?"

After dropping Macy home Shane invited me over to write with him.

"Good afternoon honey.." I heared their mother say. I looked up at her and returned her smile. "Good afternoon.."

"Lets go to my room..." Shane suggested.

I just nodded. "Where is Nate and Jason?"

"They're probably somewhere here.."

"Okay.."

As soon as I was outside his room door I gasped knowing what view could be seen from it. I had been here millions of times before since my childhood. It was Ruksars old room. It had the same huge glass wall which was directly opposite my room. I stepped into his green coloured room a bit surpised.

"What?" Shane asked looking at my confused reaction.

"Your room...it's uh...it's clean.." I let out sounding a little stupid.

He laughed unconrolably like Macy and I couldnt help but stare, it was the first time I saw him laugh like that after he found out about Cheryl.

Was I doing this to him?

"Mitchie what did you expect?" He asked between laughs.

"It's not that funny...I just didnt ecpext your room to be this clean and to have a view directly of my room.."

I scanned the tidy room. It had a huge king sized bed against the glass wall and a study table, a computer, a bookshelf, a study table, a few wardrobes and various different instruments scattered neatly around the room.

I Mitche Torres was standing in Shane Grays bedroom.

"Here, sit..." He was already sitting on his bed and patted the place infront of him. "We wont be able to sit comfortably on the couch.."

I bit my lower lip and quietly sat infront of him on his huge bed.

"What happened with Caitlyn and Nate yeaterday?"

He just shrugged. "I'm not so sure, but I think Nate asked Caitlyn to be his girlfriend or something..?"

I was literally jumping on the bed in excitement. "What? Shane, Oh My God!!"

Was that too loud? I guess it was...I immediately covered my mouth, embarrassed for the 100th time that day.

"I mean yeah, I'm happy for them.." I corrected looking at Shanes amused expression.

What? She was dating a Gray how else did you expect me to react?

"How about love?" He asked, suddenly changing the subject.

"Excuse me?"

"I mean the theme...Love?" He asked laughing at my expression.

"You want to write about love?..."

"Come one Mitchie just because I didnt get love in return of love doesnt meen I have lost my fate on it. If Cheryl was not meant to be with me then maybe it was for my good, Love is the only thing keeping the world alive.."

"Yeah...okay then..whatever you say"

After a few minutes of scribling on the piece of paper Shane showed me what he had written. "How about something like this 'If the heart is always searching, can you ever find a home?'

"That's great Shane.." I grinned.

"And then this" He added a few more lines and showed me "I've been looking for that someone. I can't make it on my own"

"Wonferful Shane...really.." I smiled admiring him.

"Mitchie why arent you wiring anything?" He asked looking at my piece of paper.

"I-I dont think I'll be as good as you...It will just make the song rubbish, my lyrics.." I admitted.

"Are you kidding me Mitchie Torres?...That song you sang the other day was so good I dont even have words to explain it...The lyrics were better than anything I had ever heared. It had emotion and feelings....it was great.."

I smiled and blushed simultaneously.

"Was it about someone?" He suddenly inquired.

"I...I-uh ...Yeah..." I let out. What was I supposed to say? Hey, Shane yeah it was about you. Like it?

"He's a lucky guy to have someone like you...." I felt myself blush harder.

"No, like we're not together, I just wrote it about him.."

"He's still lucky that someone as talented as you to write a song about him.."

Yeah Shane praise yourself as much a you can. The sky is the limit.

"Okay, how about this? 'dreams can't take the place of loving you, there's got to be a million reasons why its true..'"

Shane I've been dreaming my whole life of loving you and its just not the same when you are no longer in my dreams. You're my reality. And you dont even know how much I love you.

I showed him my paper and continued writing " 'When you look me in the eyes..' "

" 'and tell me that you love me' " He added.

" 'Everything's alright when you're right here by my side' "

" 'When you look me in the eyes, I catch a glimpse of heaven, I find my paradise.."

I wish I could tell you how much I love you.

I wanted to add more but decided this is the best ending.

I liked this one, lots of Smitchie =]
