SHANE POV
I have to admit, I really thought my life was over the minute I was told I was becoming a father. I thought that was it, I was destined to live a life of nappy changing, hormonal arguments and unhappiness, but that's all changed. Just over a month since I was told that I had in fact been trapped in Sarah's twisted games, I finally had everything I hoped for. Mitchie. My girlfriend, god saying that never gets old.
If you had told me back in September the rollercoaster of thoughts and emotions I would have experienced to get to where I am today, I would have called you a maniac. Why on earth would I have romantic feelings for my best friend? How the hell could someone like me get some girl pregnant? Or at least think I had? But things change, change is inevitable, whether it's good or bad, it's what you make of it that matters.
But now here I am, sitting in a somewhat uncomfortable position on Mitchie's sofa, with her in my arms, but I wouldn't tell her that she's in fact crushing my recently broken leg. Because right now I couldn't be happier.
It's amazing how quickly the past three weeks have gone for the both of us, we had spent days on end talking about everything and anything, as if we were getting to know each other all over again. But we both knew that the day was looming, the day that I would have to return to college, face the music- literally, and embark on the gruelling task of trying to catch up on all the work I have missed since my accident.
Neither of us wanted to say goodbye to each other again, even though we were only a matter of miles away from one another. But this time I was going to keep my promise.
I would call her every day, every available moment I had. And it would probably result in our cell's being surgically removed from our hands
I would visit every weekend, without fail, after my parents had kindly sent my wrecked car into repairs, saying that they were only doing it because Mitchie appeared to be too attached to my old Mustang.
I was going to make this work, because as much as it scared me to admit it so early on in our relationship, I have every intention of marrying her, someday...long from now, trust me. I've already had a fright with an unborn baby.
"Shane...Shane?" my eyes came into focus as I realised a hand was waving in front of my eyes, I looked down slightly to see Mitchie looking at me slightly concerned
"Huh?" I replied, you know me a man of many words.
"What were you thinking about?" she asked innocently as she readjusted herself in my embrace to face me better
"The future" I replied simply
A small smile spread across her lips "Really? What do you see?"
What did I see? I see a lot of things- music, possible careers, who will win the super bowl but one thing stood out in every flashing thought- her. Everything in my future included her.
"You" I said sincerely as I ran my free hand through her softly. Her smile increased in size as she wrapped her arms around my neck
"Have I ever told you that I love you?" her voice was muffled slightly, her head still resting in the crook of my neck
I laughed lightly as I too couldn't help but smile "Once or twice, but it doesn't hurt to hear it again"
"I love you"
"I love you too Mitchie"

NATE POV
The mall's a lonely place when you're all by yourself. Yep, that's right I'm wondering past the many shops in the mall on my own. Ever since Mitchie and Shane finally woke up and realised that they were meant to be more than just friends , they've been practically joined at the hip 24/7. And even though Jason did offer to accompany me, I didn't really fancy being held up for hours whilst Jason's gone AWOL to the arcade or candy shop.
I pulled my headphones out of my ears as I stop outside the music shop, admiring the black electric guitar in the window. Ever since Mitchie's birthday, the three of us- Jason, Shane and I, had ended up regularly jamming in our garage or room, writing and creating various songs and it was becoming a hobby that I was getting more passionate towards. Not to mention how close the three of us had become, Jason has turned out to be a pretty decent guy- the weirdness and pyjama choice aside of course.
I entered the stop, my eyes still focused on the instrument and its hefty price tag
"It's a beauty isn't it?" my head snapped around, shocked at the presence of someone else behind me.
"Err... yeah" I stuttered out, taking in the appearance of the girl in front of me. Not to sound like the typical teenage guy but damn she is hot. Her auburn hair cascaded just below her shoulders in loose curls, her eyes a dark shade of brown. She was wearing a pair of dark blue skinny jeans accompanied by white tank top with a over-sized boyfriend styled caridgan over the top.
She must have noticed me checking her out as a smile appeared on her face along with a slight blush to her cheeks "too bad about the price though" she added
I nodded in agreement, $400 was a lot, and a significant chunk out of the bank of Nate
"Hi I'm Alyssa" she stuck out her hand directly in front of me as I gladly accepted the hand shake
"Nate"
"Nice shirt by the way" she commented as I looked down towards my tee "Queen" she nodded in satisfaction "legendary band if you ask me"
We had only known each other less than five minutes but it had already mesmerized me at how quickly I had become at ease with her. Her confidence shining through more than anything.
We continued to talk about music , exchanging opinions on our favourite bands and songs of all time before I finally plucked up the courage to do something I hadn't done before- besides with Mitchie.
"Hey, do you fancy going to grab lunch or something?" I asked as casually as possible, trying my best to disguise any signs of nerves
"Sure, I'd love too"
I grinned. Nate has a way with the ladies. Yeah I'll keep telling myself that.

MITCHIE POV
Things don't get much better than this, lying in your boyfriend's arms idly watching TV on a Saturday afternoon that is until we got interrupted
"HI GUYS!!!!!" Jason came pounding through the back door and into the living room, practically jumping up and down like an excitable kid "Whatcha doing?" He sat down in between us on the sofa, causing Shane to glare at him. Trust me if looks could kill, Jason would be six foot under right about now
"Oh nothing Jason, nothing at all" Shane replied, sarcasm dripping from his voice
"Oh well good thing I'm here to liven things up" Jason exclaimed, obviously missing Shane's sarcasm from the previous comment
"Can't we do something tomorrow Jay?" Shane whined "Me and mitchie were really busy...sitting around..."
"But I'm going back to college tomorrow! And you don't have too! I want to spend time with my Mitchie"
"You mean my mitchie" Shane corrected, sounding protective
"Hey,hey, I'm no one's property guys!" I defended myself "Besides c'mon Shane, what harm would it do?
He threw up his hands in surrender "Fine, but I am not moving my ass of this sofa"
"MOVIEE MARATHONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jason screamed "Mitchie, you make some waffles or pancakes and I'll choose the films, hurry!"
I dragged myself off the sofa laughing lightly, Jason and his bloody pancakes. I returned to the room, minutes later with a tray full of pancakes and several bowls of popcorn as I watched Jason's face light up as if it was Christmas. I sat myself beside Shane, snuggling myself into his side, resting my head on his chest
"So what's it going to be first Jay?"
"Well either mean girls or meet the fockers"
"NO WAY IN HELL AM I WATCHING SOME CHICK FLICK" Shane exclaimed, in a disgusted tone,
I looked towards Jason, exchanging knowing looks "Mean girls it is!" I announced as Shane let out a frustrated groan beside me
-
Today's the day. The day where Shane is finally deemed as fit and healthy enough to return to college, where Jason had left a few days previous, in the hope of reaching his ultimate goal. Our relationship over the past few months has been tested to the max as we both secretly fought our own inner battles with our emotions and better judgement. But we won,and I finally got my prince charming.
I stood outside my front porch as I watched the Grey's door open, revealing Shane lugging a suitcase of belongings wincing from the pain that still remained after his accident. My gaze remained on the door as Nate was the next to exit, preparing to say good bye also, but he wasn't alone...hold on...who's the girl?!
I raised an eyebrow as all three of them made their way down the street, Nate's arm slung casually around the girl's shoulder. Since when was friends with any other females? Since when did Nathanial Grey have the balls to talk to other females, let alone casually put his arm around one?
Shane dropped the suitcase by the side of his SUV before hobbling slowly but surely towards me, a frown evident on his face
"Cheer up Shane, we've done this so many times now." I said, trying to reassure him
He sighed "I know, but it's hard, and this time it's different"
"How is it?"
"Well before I was just leaving my friend, now I'm leaving my girlfriend" he pouted slightly, causing me to laugh. I wrapped my arms around his neck, looking at him straight in the eyes
"Well I'll be right here when you get back." I smiled before closing the gap, placing a soft but tender kiss on his lips
He pulled away reluctantly "I love you, remember that"
"I love you too Shane" I peered over his shoulders, noticing the Nate and the mystery girl still rather close to one another, deep in conversation with one another. I took a good look at her, she was pretty, Nate could have done a lot worse.
"Shane?" I asked, causing him to look down to me slightly
"Yeah babe?"
"Who's the girl" I whispered, not wanting to sound rude
"Oh that's Alyssa, Nate's new lady friend" my eyes widened slightly
"Since when?"
"Couple of weeks now" he replied casually, as if it was no big deal
"Why didn't he tell me?!" I was shocked and slightly offended, I thought Nate was my best friend, he could tell me anything.
"Because we were both too wrapped up in one another to pay any attention to Nate recently"
Oh. Makes sense. Maybe I'm not so offended. But he wasn't going to get away with it. I'll be having words with him later. I removed my arms from around Shane's neck to his waist, engulfing him in a bone crushing hug
"Now you're going to be down next weekend right?"
He nodded "Yes, trust me babe, I don't want to spend another second more than I have to away from you"
"You're such a mush, do you know that?"
"We'll I'm your mush"
I inhaled deeply "Go on you, you better get going, I know Jason and Jake are awaiting your return" he smiled sadly as I returned an equally enthusiastic one
"Bye Mitch, love you"
"Later Shane, love you too."
I watch the car disappear in the distance, like I had so many times before, but this time I didn't feel sad, lonely or angry. I didn't fixate my eyes on the road where the car was situated only moments before, wondering if things would ever be okay again.
Because now they were. I was naive to think that things would stay the same that we would remain in our innocent states.
Because after all change did happen. Good and bad. Friendships were put to the test, tears were shed, as we all got our own little reality checks. But as my mom said, it was all just a blessing in disguise
Looking back at it, I guess you could say it was all inevitable.
So there you go, I've ended it with some loose ends and it's all happy, ready for the sequel to shock the shit out of you.
