I reluctantly dragged myself down the stairs, my bag hanging loosely off my shoulder. I settled on a pair of

boot cut jeans and a brown Abercrombie sweater, I was still in no mood to make the slightest effort in my appearance, so I had slung my hair up in a ponytail.

I walked into the kitchen to see a glass of orange juice and a slice on plain toast waiting for me, whilst my mom was ironing the laundry. I sat down as she shot me a sympathetic look. She knew. I had to tell her, especially after she witnessed me crying for hours on end last night without inkling why.

I told her everything from how much Shane had messed his life up, to my feelings towards him. Her reaction wasn't what I had expected, she told me things like this happen, yet they have a way of turning out okay.

Thing is , things like this don't just happen, my best friend who wears a purity ring doesn't just announce to me that he's expecting a child, and furthermore how could it possibly turn out okay? I'm going to be pushed out the picture even further, I will simply be that friend who he'll call when he needs a babysitter, I can no longer hold on to that small piece of hope that me and Shane could be more than just friends. I've got to grow up, I've got to let go.

My thoughts were interrupted by the honking of Nate's SUV, telling me he was outside ready to take me to another joyful day of compulsory education.

"Bye mom" I said quickly as I made my way out of the door to see Nate smiling at me from the car. I got in and shut the door as he pulled away.

I sat there tapping my fingers impatiently against my knee, we had been in the car little over five minutes and we still hadn't exchanged a word. Saying that we haven't said anything to each other since... Saturday.

"Nate are we going to talk or are we just going to sit here in an uncomfortable silence for the duration of the journey?" I asked getting impatient with the lack of conversation

"I just didn't know if you wanted to talk to me" he said quickly

"Why wouldn't I want to talk to you, you haven't got anyone pregnant have you?" Nice one Mitchie, you are such a comical genius. Not.

I looked at him to see his expression slide a little "No, I just thought cos of Shane..."

"Yeah... I'm livid at him, but he's your brother, I can't be mad at you for being bloody related"

He smiled "Good because, I don't think I could cope with moody Mitchie"

What?! I mocked hurt "Me? Moody? Never... I have no idea what you are on about, I'm always completely pleasant."

He scoffed slightly "Yeah... I don't quite think so Mitch"

For the rest of the short journey we talked about anything but him , even though the current situation was at the tip of both of our tongues. We pulled up outside school, seeing hundreds of equally ecstatic pupils flood into the building, with others huddled in groups outside.

I walked side by side with Nate as I noticed random people stealing glances at me, people I didn't even know. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. As I entered the main building, it became more frequent and a lot less subtle. I looked at Nate who seemed completely oblivious, that was until some senior piped up

"Did you hear that Shane Grey has knocked up some chick...Oh look speaking of him there's his brother and that friend of his, wouldn't surprise me if she was preggers 'n all'" This caused the group of surrounding girls to laugh loudly.

I felt myself instantly pale, as I gripped tightly to Nate's hand for support.

"What did you just say?" Nate asked angrioly as he pulled away from my grip and walked towards the girl

"Oh someone a little touchy because their brother got some and you didn't?" Oh bad move girl, bad move.

"Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are? And what right do you have to talk about my family and my friend in that way?"

I stood back and watched the scene apprehensively, yet slightly amused at how the girl's expression had fallen dramatically

"Err..." she answered looking back and forth at her friends who were standing there with their jaw's ont he floor, obviously not knowing what to say to a furious Nate

"That's what I thought. Now off you go back to your hole and grow up. No one likes a gossip, it's such a turnoff"

And with that Nate made his way back to me as I was widely applauding him in my head. "Are you okay?" he asked me concerned, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"Yeah" And I was, kind of. I mean hearing various strangers gossiping about my best friend and his sex life isn't my favourite past time, but at least I wasn't on the floor crying hysterically when I heard his name, like I was last night, and the night before that. Could I still call him my best friend? Do I still class him as my best friend? I don't know. ..I don't know.

"Are you sure? Because we can skip school if you really want to?"

"WHAT! Is the Nate Grey suggesting we skip school? Mr I've had perfect attendance since 3rd grade?"

He shrugged "Ah attendance isn't everything, especially if my best friend is upset" did he just call me his best friend? Me?

"I'm your best friend?" I asked,

"Yeah" he stated simply "I do practically spend all living moments with you, and I completely trust you, I think I could tell you anything"

I grinned, all my sadness seemed to disappear with that comment, I turned to face him, as his arm fell to his side and engulfed him in a bone crushing hug.

As he pulled away he raised an eyebrow "What was that for?"Laughing slightly

"For being you."

Shane POV

I'm on the verge of losing it. After several hours of rumours and gossiping, I had finally been able to drag myself back to my apartment, without committing murder on one of the low lives. Although I was alone, Jason had invited himself back, no matter how many excuses I threw at him.

I threw myself face down on the sofa , trying to ignore his presence. I just wanted to sit in a dark room for the rest of eternity, not having to face anything or anyone, but that was impossible, especially when you're friends with Jason.

"So...are we going to work on our song or are you going to feel sorry for yourself for the rest of your life?" I know he was trying his best to make that comment sound light hearted but it only dampened my mood further. I sat up to see him standing directly in front of him pulling the most demented facial expression I think I've ever witnessed

"Has anyone told you that you are..." Pick your words carefully Shane, you don't need to lose your only friend at a time like this. And it was true he was my only friend, the only one who hasn't judged me, at all. "Unique" Good choice Shane, well done.

"All the time" he sat down on the chair opposite and pulled a black notebook out of his bag along with a pen. "Okay Mr Emotional Rollercoaster. Apparently the best songs are produced when you have a lot of pent up feelings and thoughts, so here" he passed me the notebook "I want you to write down how you feel."

My eyes widened slightly at Jason being serious. I slumped back into the sofa and began to think about everything. My situation, how I felt about it and its consequences. Yet my thoughts kept going back to Mitchie. I hated the fact that she despises me, and how she can't even face me. I had made her cry, hysterically. I literally broke her in two, because I was a stupid fool. Even prior to the revelation she was always the one who I was most scared of telling, not my parents, not Nate but her. Without a doubt she's the most important person in my life, and having her cry over me, makes me feel sick. And when I saw her at her window yesterday just for a second my chest was beating at a million beats a second, my stomach flipped and my hands were sweaty. I began to doubt myself, surely these are the feelings you should be having towards your best friend ?

Before I knew it I was scribbling away at 100 miles per hour, letting out everything. I completely spaced out, engrossed by the endless amounts of words spilling out of my mind and on to the lined paper before me. Within the space of 40 minutes I had completed the song.

I coughed, causing Jason to look up from his guitar which he was currently strumming on. I leaned over and passed him the lyric's without saying a word.

"Woah you are a lyrical genius... who is this song about?"

"Err no one?" I lied

"Oh c'mon I know I'm not the sharpest crayon in the box, but there is no way you can create a song like this without having an inspiration"

He was right, I sighed, I might as well tell him "Just a friend of mine..."

"Obviously a female friend" Bingo.

"Yeah" I replied sheepishly

"Well it's pretty obvious by this" pointing at the page "that you aren't seeing her as just a friend...actually it appears to me that you're stuck in some sort of love triangle type thing" Okay now he was just talking absolute rubbish. I was not in some sort of love triangle, well maybe a triangle, but love... Nate , Mitchie, Me.

Nate+Mitchie+ Shane- Shane= Nate +Mitchie

Nate+Mitchie= jealous green eyed Shane

Nate+ Mitchie+ Shane – Nate = Mitchie+ Shane

Mitche+Shane = perfect couple.

Oh my god. No. I just overstepped the boundary didnt i?.My doubts were correct. When did this happen? When did I begin having romantic feelings towards Mitchie. Oh no. Oh no. Oh this is not good.

"Sing it to me." He said out of the blue, saving me from my worrying thoughts

"But I don't even know a melody" I protested, how on earth was is supposed to sing a song without knowing how it was supposed to sound like

"Improvise, then I'll work on it later, I need to know how you want to perceive it"

I nodded, agreeing, Jason sure was smarter than usual. I reached over grabbing his guitar and began to strum softly, not quite knowing how I wanted to perceive it.

(A/n don't own the song , missy Higgins does, I had to change some of the lyrics, otherwise Shane would be a girl.)

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
Little voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I don't know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos he will love you more than I could
he who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

Hello end of chapter! LOL SHANE LIKES MITCHIE. NATE LIKES MITCHIE. BUT NOW THE QUESTION IS WHO DOES MITCHIE LIKE? I LOVE JASON AND NATE. So that was Shane's realisation. Shit? Oh well. I'm not an 18 year old male. I'm quite happy staying female thanks
