-
Shane POV:
My mind was still reeling after my conversation with Sarah only a matter of hours ago, i cant believe she even mentioned abortion. That was another one of my beliefs- that abortion was wrong, but seeing as i've already broken one of them, it wouldn't of surprised me if i had made another stupid mistake and said i didn't want it. But i didn't, I'm going to face my responsibilities and support Sarah and our child, no matter how hard it gets.
It was finally sinking in that this was real, that i had to put aside my feelings and look out for those who mean alot to me, and how was i going to begin my mission? That i dont quite know yet, but i knew my desired outcome. Whether i'll be able to succeed, is another matter.
2 weeks later...
Jason POV
After spending the best part of two hours planning today's outfit , i realised i only had 5 minutes to run across campus to Vocal class, why i took that class was beyond me, but it was either that or musical theory and me and words don't really mix.
After deciding on a pair of black skinny jeans and a graphic tee, i admired myself in my full length mirror. I looked good! i grabbed my guitar and sprinted my way to class.
I doubled over completely out of breath as i arrived just as the bell rang to see Shane sitting in at a desk looking as perky as usual, which wasn't perky at all.
I had tried everything to turn that frown upside down, but nothing was working. I'd lent him my favourite DVD's of all time including; High school Musical, Mamma Mia and Monsters Inc and i'd even let him borrow my simpsons edition of Monopoly. But nothing, not one laugh, giggle, squeal , nada.
I sat in my usual seat to see him scribbling away at yet more lyrics, whatever was going on back home for him was certainly inspiring him to write depressive sappy love songs. I could only presume it is about a girl, at least i'm pretty sure its a girl.
I give him a week. A week to snap out of this unexciting and less attractive mood of his before i take matters into my own hands...

We were next. So far everyones performances were pretty good, my favourite was the class nerds: Euguene and Henry's techno rap about pc hard drives and usb cables...it was moving, completely blew me away.
Shane grunted as he propped himself on a stool with his guitar sitting on his lap whilst i sat behing the piano. Okay Jason concentrate, don't break out in 'hot cross buns' instead.
"Cos he will love you more than i could, oh he who dares to stand where i stood."
As we finished, we practically got a standing ovation by the majority of the class including sasha are vocal teacher, and those who didn't were...crying? Oh my God theres a girl weeping! Note to self: Good life choice Jason, Women are obscure creatures.
"That was incrediable! Which one of you two wrote the lyrics" Sasha asked, her mouth still hanging slightly open
"Oh Shane did! Ever since he's turned all emo he cant stop writing all this romantically depressive shit. He's gotten so bad that i wouldn't be surprised if he joined some sort of cult"
i turned towards Shane beeming at how successful our performance was to see a not so impressed expression looking back at me
"Thanks." He muttered sarcastically. Rude!
"Did i say something i wasn't supposed to?" he just rolled his eyes... Ah well,oh look there's a bird!

Shane POV
Note to self: Kill Jason.
I made a quick exit after the bell rang, luckily classes were over for the day, and i could now avoid the likes of Jason trying to persuade me to 'babysit' his stuffed super Mario toy whilst i was going through this 'rough patch'.
I entered my apartment to see Jake cleaning whilst singing along to the radio, i double took, since when has he been such a domestic god?
"Woah who are you and what has happened to Jake Torres?" i asked mocking complete shock
He shot me a small smile, he was still pissed at me, but he had been surpringly supportive. Oh course the intial aftermath of the big revelation wasn't pleasant, and neither was the first couple of days, but at least now we could told conversations without his fist being inches away from my jaw.
"Someone had to clean this mess. No offense Shane but if you don't start looking after yourself, you're going to end up as the half tonne man"
I looked at the pile of fast food wrappers and containers scattered around the kitchen and living room, okay so maybe i endulged in some comfort food. Women have chocolate. Shane has big fat greasy burgers and larger.
I sat down on the sofa wondering whether not to ask how Mitchie is. She still wasn't returning my calls and whenever i spoke to Nate he changed the subject when her name was mentioned. How was i going to get her to forgive me, if i had no lines of communication? Its been near enough three weeks since i've heard her voice, seen her face, seen her smile and it was becoming unbearable. I was pining over my best friend.
I had finally accepted that my feelings towards her weren't platonic anymore, hell they were so far from platonic they were on the verge of explicit.
"Dude?Dude?...Earth to Shane?" I snapped out of my thoughts to see Jake standing infront of me snapping his fingers with a concerned look upon his face.
"Sorry i was ..."
"Deep in thought?" i nodded
"Jake" i sighed "How is Mitchie?" i looked up to him to see him taking a seat in a sofa opposite.
He didn't answer. "Jake, please how is she?"
"She's okay." He said bluntly. Great was this all i was going to get out of him?
"C'mon you've got to give me more than that. She wont even talk to me" i looked towards my lap, the memories flooding back to me, her face when i told her, the state i left her in.
"Are you really surprised? You broke her Shane, in all honesty i don't recognise her, that spark in her voice is gone, mum says she wont talk to anyone but Nate and when she's not with him shes shut away in her room crying."
My heart broke all over again, i had broken her, destroyed her bubbly happy persona, i hated myself.
"I hate myself... if only i could turn back time.."
"But you cant, whats done is done, you have to face the consequences and make the best of them." Jake was right, but how on earth could Mitchie despising me ever be classed as something 'good'
"I've ruined everything, even if she was to forgive me which she probably wont now she has her precious 'Nate' to depend on,there was no way she would ever think of me like that, not now" I rambled on to myself not knowing that i was infact saying it out loud
"Shane, what are you trying to say...?" I bit my lip whilst i hesitated whether or not to tell him bluntly how i felt,
"Nothing..." i said unconvincingly as i reverted my gaze to the apartment door, planning my escape.
He leaned forward, now sitting on the edge of the sofa "Shane" he said in a warning tone "What did you mean when you said ' there was no way she'd think of me like that'"
Oh shit, i was trapped. "Oh did i really say that?" playing ignorant
He rolled his eyes "Dont play dumb, what did you mean?" his voice now stern and serious. I knew he wouldn't let this drop until i told him, a inherited Torres trait. And in all hoesnty i don't think i can keep it bottled up any longer
"I-I-I-"
I closed my eyes momentarily "I...I think I may love Mitchie?"
His eyes grew wide before he collapsed back into the chair and ran his hands through his hair and laughed slightly "Shane Grey, you have the worlds worst timing"
What!?

Mitchie POV
Thank god its Friday. After weeks of endless rumours circling the coridoors of school, Shane was no longer the hot topic of conversation, yet now, now was the latest rumour to do with Cathy Ryan. When i heard, i had to literally restrain myself from becoming incontinent in the middle of gym. Miss Cathy Ryan, bitch and slut extraordinaire has gone and got herself a nice case of Chlamydia. Now I've never been a massive believe in karma but in the words of Justin Timberlake 'What goes around comes back around'
I tap my pencil impatiently on my desk, watching the the seconds pass on the clock, British studies was a drag. Who wanted to know about the political system in England? No one...besides Nate
I glanced over at Nate who seemed completely engrossed in the lesson, scribbling down pages and pages of notes. I couldn't understand how Nate could manage it all; attend school every day, do homework, hold down a part time job and still have a respectable social life. I struggled with getting up in the morning!
The bell rang as a collective sigh of relief was heard throughout the classroom. I jumped up out of my seat and stuffed my books into my bag at a record rate.
"So, Mitchie, you doing anything tonight?" I turned around to see Nate ready to go. Well my plans were to crash Nate's plans so lets just go with the universal answer "No..."
He nodded slowly whilst his expression changed slightly, he looked as if he was apprehensive "Well i was wondering whether you wanted to go drive down to the coast or something, apparently the beach is supposed to be pretty amazing at night..." he trailed off reverting his gaze to his shoes.
"Yeah i'd love to!" i said a little too enthusiastically, causing him to burst out in a massive grin
"Breat!"
"Breat? What sort of word is Breat?"
He laughed "I was going to say Brilliant but then decided on Great and well it came out as Breat."
I bit my lip and laughed "You sure are a funny one Nate Grey"

Nate POV
I threw yet another shirt off its hanger and on to the floor as i let out a frustrated grunt. What do i wear!? I never seemed to care when i was hanging out with Mitchie before, but this wasn't a normal 'hanging out' session, even if she didn't quite realise it, this was my lame attempt of asking her out on a date.
I've tried to contain my feelings for her, but as each day passes it gets harder. To tell you the truth, i've had a crush on her since Junior High, i mean who wouldn't! But ever since we've become close friends, its become a struggle to prevent myself from crossing that boundary.
I want her to notice me. Notice me as something more than Shane's replacement, because thats how i feel. It doesn't matter how hard i just don't feel like i can compete with him. But he's not here, and due to his stupidity he has caused nothing but heartbreak, therefore leaving me with a fighting chance.
I looked at the numerous tee's and shirts scattered over my room, i finally decided on a simple long sleeved red top with my leather jacket.
I glanced at the clock notcing i only had a few minutes to spare before i had to pick her up. I was just about to leave my room when my phone went off, i rolled my eyes, who ever it is had fantatic timing. I grabbed my Iphone from my desk and glanced at the caller ID
Shane.
"Hi" i said monotonously
"Nate, how are you, its been a while since i've spoken to my favourite brother" I raise an eyebrow at his comment. We have always had a pretty good relationship as far as siblings are concerned but this was too 'happy family' for my liking
"I'm err good Shane, but i really cant talk, i've got places to go..."
As bad as i felt for blowing off my brother, i couldn't be late to meet Mitchie.
"Oh" he sounded disappointed "Where you going?"
"That beach that everyone's going on about, bout half an hour away"
"You mean the one, thats renown for the 'perfect romantic destination in all of New Jersey'" Yep. But i was hoping nobody knew about that,... especially not Mitchie.
"Oh really? I didn't know that..."
"Who are you going with? Has Nate finally got himself a girl? I must say it is about time, I mean when was the last time you got lucky with a girl, like a year ago?"
"I haven't got myself a girl"
Shane laughed "WELL I DO HOPE YOU HAVENT GOT YOURSELF A GUY!"
My patience with my brother was growing thinner, i wanted to end this conversation, and as quick as possible, and i knew just they way...
"I'm going with Mitchie."
"WHAT?!" he exclaimed. Okay so that was not the reaction i was expecting
"Whats wrong with that?" i asked, now curious to his outburst
"Er...Err.. No reason? I've got to go." And with that he hung up.
I don't know what it was but something wasn't as it seemed, and i will find out what... Just after tonight.
So there you go lol, Shane has admitted his feelings to Jake, Jason is Jason and Nate thinks he's going on a date with Mitchie, but does she? You'll have to give me many lovely reviews to find out.
