Even though it had been a few days since Shane had left I still couldn't believe he actually left me here. And with his mother thinking I was a maid, his maid. I hadn't been able to stop crying, I know it sounds childish, but who cares? I sure don't anymore. I stayed in my little room for the most part, staying away from his mother and sister. They would occasionally call me to eat, but I never went, I just wasn't hungry at all.

Shane would be back in a mere two days, I was actually pretty excited about that, I wanted to get out of here. I wanted to get home and scream at him, hit him and just break up with him even. I am just so done with this pain, it's too much. Although the whole breaking up with him part most likely would never occur because I'm too chicken to actually do it.

Do you have any idea how many times I've gone to break up with Shane? Far too many, and as you can clearly tell I'm still here with him. I hate that I can't let go of him, I hate that no matter what he will always have my heart, no matter what he does, no matter how many times he messes up he'll always have my heart. Even if he has broken it more times than I can remember, he'll always have my heart, sad isn't it?

I sat on my bed, wondering what Shane was doing at the moment, maybe he was thinking of me? Maybe he missed me as much as I missed him? Or maybe he was doing his work and hadn't thought of me once when he was gone. The latter most likely being the truth, I mean why would he think of me, he hadn't thought of me when he left me here all alone. I sighed, this wasn't getting me anywhere.

I heard a knock on my door so I quickly got up and opened it to find Shane's sister standing there, smiling brightly. What the heck, why is she smiling so brightly? She walked right in and sat down on the couch. "Umm, how can I help you miss?" I questioned her. "Let's go shopping!" She exclaimed, her bright smile still in place. "No, I should stay here, I don't think Shane would like it if I left miss…"

She snickered, "Stop calling me 'miss', I know you're not really Shane's maid, call me Crystal." She smiled, this time a genuine smile. My face probably had the most shocked expression ever, "What do you mean? Of course I'm Shane's maid!" I said, my voice rising considerably. She gave me a look telling me she knew more than she was letting on. I sighed and sat down on the couch also.

"Look, I know my brother and I know he wouldn't bring a maid with him. So tell me, why did you come?" She asked, should I trust her or not? I sighed again. "He brought me on "vacation" apparently THIS is his idea of a vacation." I said, my eyes watering at just how hurt I was. "So what are you to him? A co-worker, friend, girlfriend…" She trailed off. "Girlfriend." I replied simply.

"You're his girlfriend?" She looked surprised, of course. I mean why would he want me, I was nothing, I was ugly. I nodded meekly; I hope she wouldn't hate me now. "I can't believe he would do that to you! My brother is such an ass!" She exclaimed, surprising me. "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'm used to being belittled by him. Really it's not a big deal." I said quietly.

"Wait, you mean similar things have happened before?" She questioned, clearly appalled, I nodded again. "Tell me all about it, I'll listen and help you, you should NEVER let a man belittle you sweetie." Maybe talking to another girl could help…

I ended up telling Abigaileverything, from when Shane and I got together to now. She sat and let me talk, comforting me when I started to cry. She was a great friend now, and I was glad I had talked to her. I finally got to let everything out, since I had no friends back home. Abigailwas great and she was actually really upset at Shane now, even when I told her she shouldn't. I guess I had someone to help me through it all. She also told me that I should break it off with Shane, no matter how much it hurt, she said our relationship wasn't healthy.

We were currently at the mall, she had insisted on bringing me and I couldn't refuse, not after she had sat listening to me cry for 3 hours. Shane was supposed to come back tomorrow then we would leave the next day. I could finally go back to the way things used to be, just us, even if I was ignored back home.

oOoOoOoOo

Abigailended up buying a bunch of stuff, especially at Forever 21, she tried to get me stuff but I refused. I didn't want her buying me stuff. Today Shane is going to get here, finally. His mother is nice, but she still looks down on me.

I was currently putting away everything in my suitcase, we had an early morning flight so I didn't want to be rushing around in the morning, I only left out a few necessary things. Abigailbounced into the room smiling brightly; sometimes I wondered what went through her head. I shook my head laughing, she was so crazy sometimes. We heard a car driving up the driveway through the trees, Abigailran down the steps and waited for her brother. Not me though, I stayed in the room I didn't want to intrude on a family moment, I simply watched from the window.

Soon enough Lynne came out too and they all hugged and did there thing. It seemed like Shane didn't even remember about me, great that definitely helped my already low self-esteem… They all walked into the main house, probably going to eat dinner. I sighed and walked into my little bedroom, I laid down on the bed and sleep slowly overcame me.

I awoke a while later; someone was lightly shaking my shoulder. "Baby… wake up Mitch." Shane whispered, "Come on baby, I've missed you… Wake up" I rolled over and pulled the pillow over my head, I didn't want to see Shane right now. "Mitch, come on wake up." I groaned and slowly got up, I was in no mood to see Shane right now.

Shane stood there smiling lightly, he seemed happy. "How are you?" He asked right away, I groaned and fell back into the covers. Shane crawled into bed with me and slipped his arms around my waist, "I missed you." He whispered in my ear. I nearly choked. Of course he missed me, right because I'm supposed to believe him right? No.

Shane tried to turn me around to face him, but I wouldn't let him I didn't really want to see his face right now, I was still upset with him. "Come on Mitch, please." Eventually he was able to flip me around even with me protesting. "What's wrong? Why wouldn't you let me see you?" He pouted. I am not going to lie, his pout is very adorable, but I couldn't cave in now. I simply shrugged in response, what else could I say?

We both laid in the quite for a couple of minutes which was actually quite relaxing, Shane still had me wrapped in his arms and wouldn't let go. I sighed quietly, if only he was like this every day back at home, but then again it would be kinda weird. I sighed again, slowly closing my eyes, this was just far to relaxing. I slowly fell into a peaceful, relaxing dreamless sleep.

Hello! :) I'm back with a new chapter after Jo bugged me forever to update! lol. So I don't really like this chapter, it didn't turn out how I wanted it, but it will have to do cuz Jo will kill me if I take any longer. It's a bit shorter than I wanted also, but oh well. Also big thank you to anyone who voted or participated in the Indie CR Awards! I have a link to the winners in my profile. Also, I won best breakout author! Exciting! Although I think Jo deserved it more than me... Oh well.

Also since I am currently working on 2 stories I'm gonna kinda set up a schedule for the rest of the summer, I'm gonna alternate every week. Meaning I'll be updating this every 2 weeks or so. I hope you understand! :)

Please tell me what you think and review please. :)
