Chapter 16: Trash

AN: I don't own Trash by Demi Lovato

(Mitchie singing in bold)

Don't try to cover up your, your new flame

That's seething through your eyes.

I can see it from 10 feet away and I know

Just who is burning.

Shane stares at Mitchie, love clearly in his eyes. Caitlyn nudges Nate and forces him to look at Shane. Everyone in the room can tell he's completely head-over-heels for Mitchie, well, except for Mitchie.

With every kiss you deny

So what makes you think, that I

Still care, or still want you anymore

Caitlyn looks at her best friend, then to Shane. She notices Shane stumble and almost fall.

"Nate," Caitlyn whispers, "is Shane.. drunk?"

Nate glances over at his brother then back to Caitlyn," Most likely. He's been like that since they broke up, drunk and broken hearted."

Caitlyn nods understandingly and looks down at the ground remembering this is one of her last nights here.

"Caitlyn.. What's wrong?"

That's one thing she loves about him. He can always sense when she's upset. That's one thing that made it so hard for her to move on; probably because she didn't.

"I'm moving, again." She whispers.

So how long

Has this been

Going on

Was she the reason

You stomped all over my heart

And moved on so quickly

Nate stands there in shock. Moving? No, no. This isn't how it's supposed to go. They're supposed to get their happily-ever-after. She wasn't supposed to move.

Of course, being a boy like he is, Nate just asks simply,
"Where?"

Caitlyn looks up at him angrily.

"Where? I tell you I'm freaking moving and you ask where? I thought we had more than that! I thought you loved me! I guess I thought wrong."

Before Caitlyn can move, Nate pulls her into his arms and whispers, "I've always loved you, Caitlyn. You hurt me. Bad. I didn't think I'd ever get over it, but watching you with that boy… I think I've gotten over it."

Caitlyn's eyes fill with tears as she hugs him, "Nate, I've missed you. So much."

Nate feels like he might start crying himself, but he just smiles and hugs her.

"I've missed you, too, Caity. So much."

You could call it pure tourture

Watching your every move with her

Oh just the thought of it

Knowing what goes on between you makes me sick

I should have noticed

I should have noticed

When she came into the picture

You were always with her

And she's not leaving

Uh uh

Nate glances up at Mitchie, then down at Caitlyn.

"She's been through a lot, hasn't she? Because of my stupid brother?"

Caitlyn just nods and lays her head on his chest. She smiles at the familiar scent of Nate.

"Caitlyn.. are you.. smelling me?" Nate asks with amusement clear in his voice.

Caitlyn blushes, embarrassed. She smiles up at him.

He whispers into her ear, "How I've missed that smile."

Caitlyn blushes and before she knows it, his lips are touching hers in a gentle kiss.

So how long

Has this been

Going on

And one more thing tell me

Was she the reason

You stomped all over my heart

And moved on so quickly

Shane Gray has never felt more buzzed in his life, not just from the amount of alcohol he's consumed. No, it's because the love of his life –as cliché as it may be- is hurting and it's all because of him and his stupid self. Shane Gray has never felt more idiotic in his life. He doesn't realize until the bridge (the next part she's going to sing), that he's and complete idiot.

Bridge:

You called me shady

And now she's your babydoll

She won you over

Over to break it off

And this time just maybe

Maybe you went a little far

I'm sick of cryin about

About your new flame

That's soon to burn out

"What a idiot." Shane mutters to himself as he pulls away from Riley.

Riley, totally hammered, looks at him and smiles drunkenly, "Woah, dude, there's like 7 of you.."

Shane rolls his eyes, even he isn't that smashed.

"Riley, I'm so sorry, but It's over. I realize that going out with you was a mistake. It only hurt Mitchie, my Mitchie, and I'm sorry I used you and I hope th-"

Before he even finishes, Riley's making out with another guy.

So how long

Has this been

Going on

And one more thing tell me

Was she the reason

You stomped all over my heart

And moved on so quickly

Ooo

Oh oh

Ooh

I'm done

Shane smiles and walks toward the stage. Mitchie glares at him angrily. She sees him smile and all she wants to do is kiss that- uhm.. smack- smile off his face. Mitchie sees him walking towards the stage and she ignores the crowd clapping and yelling for her. When in reach, Shane pulls Mitchie into his arms, but before he can say anything, she smacks him.

"That's for being an idiot." Mitchie says with a small smile on her face.

Shane smiles at her and pulls her into his arms.. again.

"What I was trying to say, Mitchie, was that I love you. I don't love Riley. I was a idiot, heck, I still am a idiot, for ever letting you go."

Of course, all the girls 'awwww' really annoyingly. Mitchie's smile fades and she pulls out of his arms.

"Shane, no amount of sweet words that come out of your drunken mouth can ever fix what you did. I love you, I do, but you blamed me for things that.. well, I probably deserved, but her? Of all people in our school, you chose her. You always told me, you would choose me over anyone. I'm done, Shane, just.. done."

Not knowing what else to do, as Mitchie walks away, he pulls her back into his arms and kisses her. Mitchie pulls away, this time pissed.

"You can't do that, anymore Shane! No matter how much you or I want you to, you just can't."

"You want this, again, Mitchie! You want us!" Shan yells.

Mitchie shakes her head, then starts running to Caitlyn.

She stops when she sees Caitlyn and Nate smiling and hugging each other.

Mitchie turns to Shane, who's right behind her, and says, "At least someone got their happily-ever-after."

Everyone in the dance watches at Mitchie runs out the door, with Caitlyn right behind her.
