Mitchie POV
I felt my heart begin to race in my chest, he heard. Shit he heard. Okay so I may have said that I didn't mind if he heard it, but I didn't think he'd actually hear it. I mean 5 minutes ago he was in some coma and now he's staring at me as if I'm crazy...
"Mitch? Cat got your tongue?" he broke out into a smile at his attempt of a joke.
"What? Sorry I kind of spaced out..." he nodded lightly. I looked towards him, examining his facial expression which was slightly scrunched up as he adjusted to the pain "You feeling okay?" I asked out of curiosity and concern, but most importantly in the hope of preventing the subject of the song to come up.
"Well besides feeling like I've been thrown through a windscreen, I'm okay, much better that you're the one I woke up to see" I couldn't help but melt slightly inside, my self control is running incredibly thin. "Have you been here all night?" he continued eyeing me up and down.
I looked down towards the short black party dress I still had on from the night previous and my bare feet which once had black heels on, god knows where they are. I nodded.
"Yeah. I didn't want to leave until you woke up" I turned my gaze from his face towards my hands "after all I feel like it's my fault that you've ended up in this mess"
"Mitchie" he breathed out softly, taking my hand in his and intertwining our fingers "None of this is your fault"
"Yes it is! If we never argued, you wouldn't have gotten into the car" I stopped as I felt tears begin to prick my eyes. "I don't know what I would have done if I had...lost you"
"Mitchie look at me." He ordered lightly, as I reluctantly raised my gaze to meet his, slightly blurry due to the tears "It's not your fault. It was an accident okay? And you don't have to think about what you would have done, because I'm still here, and I'm not going anywhere."
"Okay" I said quietly
"So... that was a pretty good song you wrote, i didnt know you had the song writing ability in you, is it about Nate?" Oh great...hold on No! no its not about Nate
No! "Err" I hesitated "No, its not" of course it wasn't about Nate, but saying that I can hardly blame him for assuming, after all he did see us lip locked...twice.
He raised an eyebrow at me "If it's not about Nate, then who is it? Have you gone and got yourself a boyfriend without telling me?" His expression becomes slightly alarmed. "He better be treating you right. He is treating you right isn't he?" I rolled my eyes at Shanes over protectiveness, typical Shane thing to do. "Why haven't I met him? What are his intentions!?"
I bit my lip as he continued to ramble "Shane. Stop." He became silent as I interrupted him "I haven't got a boyfriend"
"What?" he asked confused "then I don't get it, who is it? How old is he?"
I inhaled deeply, "18"
"Mitchie don't you think that's a little too old for you, I mean you're only 16"
"No! And I'm seventeen in three weeks!" God, two years is barely a crime, jeez my parents have four years between them.
"Well what does he look like?"
"Tall, dark, handsome, could be a male model if he wanted" This was becoming a game of twenty questions, as Shane stayed as oblivious as before, this was the only opportunity for the foreseeable future that I could finally tell Shane exactly how I felt about him, and I was having a little bit of fun at the same time.
"Right" he nodded, trying to process all the information "and his Personality?"
I pondered, mocking thought for a moment "Funny, over confident, knows how to have a good time"
"Sounds like a jerk to me"
I couldn't help but blurt out a small chuckle before composing myself again
"Well now I have a somewhat mental image of this guy, I need to associate it with a name"
Okay here goes nothing; you can do this Mitchie, what's the worst that could happen? Rejection...Okay let's not think about that. Positive think positive. 1...2...3
"Shane."
"What?"He looked up at me as if I was to ask him a question
"Shane." I repeated.
He raised his eyebrows, "What? C'mon Mitch, why won't you tell me the guys name, I swear I won't look him up in the phonebook and torch his house...unless you want me to that is"
Oh my god. Why was he not getting this? "Shane, its you."

SHANE POV
Hold on...what? Me? I'm not still in a coma am I? After what felt like hours of silence, Mitchie spoke up
"Shane say something." I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. This must me a dream. Don't jump to conclusions Shane, this doesn't mean she likes you. "Oh my god, I've scared you off, haven't I? Oh my god" her hands flew to her head, running her fingers roughly her hair "Shit." She cursed under her breath.
"Mitchie"
"Don't Shane, I've made a complete fool of myself, of course you would be interested in me as more than a sister figure" she got up off the chair and started backing towards the door "Forget I ever said anything. God I'm such an idiot"
"Mitchie wait." I forced myself into a sitting position as much as it hurt, so I could get a decent look at her. She stopped dead in her tracks looking embarrassed. "Did I say that?"
She looked down towards her feet "Mitch, sit back down" I prepared myself as she sat back down on the chair, only a matter of inches away from me
"Did I say that I wasn't interested?"
"But you didn't say anything..."
"Well then."
"But you're not so it doesn't matter." Why was she so adamant that I don't like her?
"Mitchie, stop. I. Like. You" I looked towards her to read her expression, yet nothing, maybe I should elaborate "Hell scratch the word like, I think...I know I lo-"
"Shane you're awake!" FUCK. I looked towards the door to see Jason, Nate and Jake standing in the door way.
"Yeah, nice timing guys" my voice dripping with sarcasm "Can you give me a minute I wanted to talk to Mitchie a little more" I needed to tell her, i cant let this oppotunity slip through my fingers
"We've got to speak to you, it's really important" Jakes tone was serious, I exchanged looks between Mitchie and the guys
"Cant it wait?"i begged slightly
"We need to tell you and the sooner the better"
I looked towards Mitchie apologetically "I'll speak to you later okay? I need to finish what I was supposed to say"
"Okay" she got up and smiled at me, confusion still plastered across her face as she exited the room.
"What's so important that you had to ruin the perfect opportunity for me to profess my love to her" My tone was aggressive as the guys sat down in various places across the room
"Shit. I told you we should have waited till they had finished" Nate whispered loudly to Jason
"There's something you should know" Jake spoke again. "It's about Sarah"
What? What about Sarah "What's happened? Is it the baby? Is the baby okay?" my mind started going into panic mode as it reeled with all the possible scenarios, all bad.
"Shane" Jake said again in a low voice. Shit it was something with the baby wasn't it "There's no easy way of saying this..."
"Just tell me already!" I half shouted "Please"
"Sarah's not been completely truthful about things" Nate added, all of three of the sighed "The baby isn't-"Nate hesitated "The baby isn't yours"
It was if my world had come to a complete stand still. I shot up further in my bed, causing me to yelp out in immense pain "W-what?" I asked, not wanting to believe what I had just heard
"Its true, she lied about everything, Jason over heard and confronted Sarah and Caitlyn about it."
My throat began to feel dry as I tried to get my head around the information I had just been told. Finally I had accepted that I was to be a father, and now as quickly as it came, it's gone. It was all a lie.
"How is it not mine though?"I asked in a barely audible voice, not wanting to show any of the emotions I was currently experiencing to the guys
"Well it looks like you used protection after all, and she was acting like an utter slut and was sleeping with pothead mike"
I slumped back into the pillow, my back touching the cold metal frame of the bed. Why would she do that to me? She used me. She put me through hell, potentially ruined my relationship with not only Mitchie but everyone I know. For what? But I was going to find out.
Jason exchanged a concerned look with Jake before Nate motioned his head towards the door "We're going to go Shane, maybe you should get some rest"
I shook my head "I don't need rest."
Nate simply nodded "Okay bro, take it easy"
I watched as they left the room, leaving me alone feeling crushed and confused. Everything was just beginning to fit into place and now, now it's a discarded mess. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I had come round to the idea of becoming a dad. I was excited that I had created a life which I could help become something amazing and successful in the future. But that's not going to happen now, is it?
I closed my eyes, preventing the tears that were threatening to attack my eyes fall. I hate 2009 already.

MITCHIE POV
I sat uneasily outside Shanes room for the duration of the morning, Jake and that had been and gone and had told Shane what I presumed to be Sarah's lie, but I didn't dare go back in there. I had finally told him, I had finally let him know what's been eating away at me for god knows how long, and yet I still don't know where I stand.
Did he like me in any romantic way? Or is my head too far in the clouds to realise that someone like him is so out my league?
I let out a loud frustrated groan as I contemplated what to do next. Everyone else had decided to go home and get showered and changed before returning back to the hospital for visits, yet I refused. I felt obligated to be within 10 metres of him until he left the hospital in one piece.
"Mitchie is that you?" I heard his voice coming from his room. I stood up, straightening myself out, but in all honesty there was no real point. I looked like shit, and even running my hands down my dress wouldnt help that.
I stood in the door way nervously, before entering and sitting down at the edge of his bed, which gave me slightly more distance from him than the chair would. I sat in silence, not knowing what to say or how to approach the topic of conversation that we had been engrossed in earlier.
"I take it you know as well" it wasn't as much as a question, more a statement as I nodded
"I'm really sorry Shane" I said sincerely, and I was. Even though I hated every moment of the 'pregnancy' it didn't mean seeing Shane in a hospital bed, red faced and puffy eyed didn't hurt.
"Don't be." He said in a monotone voice. Silence fell between us again as the atmosphere of the room got thicker
I got up off the bed and made my way over, so I was standing directly next to his chest, before extending my arms, to hug him. Trying my best to avoid any painful injuries. I pulled away after a matter of seconds as he groaned, scared that I had caused him even more pain than previously
"That was nice" he commented. I couldn't help but let a small smile spread across my face "Thanks"
"That's okay"
"No I mean Thanks Mitchie, for everything. For not leaving my side, for being a good friend, for being you" He gulped hard "You know what I was saying earlier before we were rudely interrupted?"
I nodded
"Well, hear goes nothing, Mitchie Torres. I think I love you."
So there you have it another chapter! Woo they've admitted it to one another but how will they react, and how will Shane react to the news that he's not actually the father? Well review to find out, i have 398 at the moment so I'd love to be at 418-420 by the time i review on Saturday night, i know you guys can do it
