MITCHIE'S POV
"Hey guys," I said, "Come on in."
Once the Grey family and Caitlyn (Caitlyn came with the Grey's) took off their shoes and coats my mom said, "Why don't you kids go downstairs and find something to do?"
"Okay mom," I replied.
We walked downstairs and when we got there the guys stopped in their tracks and looked around with surprised faces. Caitlyn, Ella and I just walked to our favourite games. In my basement I have tons of different games and music equipment. It's kind of like my own private hang out.
"Are you coming?" we yelled.
The guys came out of their trances and walked over to us.
Nate headed over to Caitlyn at the pool table, Jason to Ella at the Wii, and Shane to me at DDR Max.
"Shane, will you go easy on me? I mean you're an amazing Rock star who is an awesome dancer." I said sweetly batting my eyelashes.
"Sure." He replied. I would totally win now. What he didn't know was that I was a DDR champion.
Once we started playing, Shane was trying to catch up to me.
When we were done he said, "I thought you said that you were bad at this game."
"I never said that. I just asked you to go easy on me."
I laughed and he sulked. Then we played a few more rounds and went up to dinner.
…
After dinner we decided to do some karaoke and then watch a movie. Well everyone else decided to do some karaoke and then watch a movie.
First Connect 3 played their new song 'Play My Music'. Then Shane played a song by himself.
"Okay. This song is called 'Gotta Find You' and I wrote it when I heard this girl singing and it reminded me of the kind of music that I liked." He said.
I was disappointed that he said that he wrote it for a girl.
His song was amazing but then Ella and Caitlyn forced me to sing my song 'This Is Me'. My eyes were closed the whole time while I was singing 'This Is Me'. When I was finished singing I opened my eyes but heard Shane join in.
"This is me." I sang ending my song.
"You're the voice I hear inside my head." he sang.
I was really confused but I sang in harmony with him anyway.
When we were finished singing we were holding hands looking into each others eyes.
Everybody was silent.
"Caitlyn broke the silence saying. "You guys ready to start the movie now?"
We were still looking into each others eyes.
Shane broke away from the gaze and said, "Yeah. Why don't you guys start the movie? I just need to talk to Mitchie for a second."
With that Shane pulled me up the stairs.
Shane walked into my room and sat down on the bed. He patted the space beside him indicating for me to sit down next to him.
"I know you must be confused."
"No way." he looked at me giving me a look that said really? , "Okay fine I'm really confused. Please explain?"
"Well… You know how I said that I heard a girl singing. And that was the inspiration for my song?"
"Yeah…"
"Well that girl was you. That's the song I heard. You were the one singing in the music room the second day you started at East Northumberland."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Listen, I've been wondering if. Well. I'm just going to come out and say it. Doyouwanttobemygirlfriend?
What?
"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course I do." I replied.
"Come on. Let's go downstairs and watch that movie."
Shane took my hand and entwined our fingers.
We smiled at each other. And he led me downstairs.
Everyone was staring at us as we walked in. I blushed but Shane just walked in, sat down on a couch and put his arm around me. Still holding my hand.
"Hey guys," Jason said cheerily oblivious to Shane and I being so close.
Caitlyn ignored Jason and said, "Did we miss something?"
"Oh. Not really…"I started.
"Actually you did. Mitchie's my new girlfriend."
"Congrats guys!" everyone yelled.
"Thanks," I said, "Can we just watch the movie now?"
We all sat down and watched the movie.
I was leaning against Shane's chest and eventually drifted off to sleep.
"Goodnight Mitchie."
That was the last thing I heard before I dozed off to sleep again but in my own bed this time.
