Oh Gosh! I'm a terrible author! I haven't updated in like, a week! I've been pretty busy with my new puppy, named Molly, and I also lost my file for this chapter. So I had to re-write it. Its not as good as the first, but it'll have to do...
Caitlyn's POV
So Mitchie and Shane were back together. At first I didn't want to accept it. Shane was an ass to Mitchie. But if Mitchie could forgive Shane so could I. But the truth was, being around Shane reminded me of Nate and it , I was pretty sure being around me reminded Shane of Nate as well. We were both hopeless, and in pain. But something about the pain in Shane's eyes was off, it seemed more like guilt...
It was 1 week after Smitchie got back together and the paparazzi were having a hay-day! It was nuts. We could do ANYTHING! So we were hanging out, as usual, at Mitchie's house. Mitchie had just gone into her kitchen to get some snacks.
"Shane?" I asked suddenly. "You've been acting really odd lately. Are you okay?"
"Huh?" He said snapping out of his twilight zone. "Oh, uh I'm fine."
"Shane, I'm not stupid. You've been acting really weird. Not that I don't think you aren't weird in general. Just more so lately then usual" I said with a laugh.
"Its nothing Cait."
"Please, Shane. Please tell me. I'm sick of all these secrets and everyone thinking I'm so fragile that the littlest thing will hurt me. Because it wont. If anything, the break up with Nate has made me stronger. I now know all guys are liars and cheaters." I smiled.
"Cait...I really shouldn't-" Shane said as Mitchie walked in the room.
"Really should what?" Mitchie asked.
"I was asking why he, and you a tiny bit, are acting so odd lately." I said.
"Oh, that. Cait...really its no big deal!" Mitchie said nonchalantly as she passed me a cookie.
"NO! I'm sick of all this! Just tell me!" I exclaimed. Both Shane and Mitchie sighed.
"Okay, Cait. Its about Nate and Alex."
"I figured that much!" What did they think I was completely oblivious!
"Its part of the reason why Nate broke up with you." Shane said.
"We broke up because he is an asshole!" I exclaimed.
"No Cait...there were some reasons." Mitchie corrected.
"This should be good!" I said sarcastically. What was a good enough reason to go back on anything he had ever told me and given to me?
"Cait, she threatened to have you killed." Shane said sullenly. Oh, that's a pretty good reason...
"Cait?" Mitchie asked worriedly at my blank expression.
"She did what?" I asked. This girl was bitch!
"She told Nate, that if he didn't break up with you she would have her 'friends' kill you."
"Yeah right! She is too girlie to know anyone that would do such a thing!" I said trying to convince myself more than Mitchie.
"On the contrary, Alex was into some pretty bad things before Nate. She was in a gang, was a prostitute for drugs, and she had been in jail. Believe me, she knows many people that would be fine with killing you if it meant Alex is off their case." Shane said. THIS CANT BE HAPPENING.
A sob escaped my lips as I covered my mouth and a few tears slid down my cheeks. My head was spinning. Nate had basically saved me from a gang beat, and Alex was the mother of all evil! Was I forgiving Nate? I wasent sure. But I was sure of one thing. He had saved my life, but broken my heart in the process.
"I cant belive this..." I said quietly.
"I'm sorry Cait. I really am. I cant believe I was ever friends with her. If I wasn't she would have contact with Nate and you guys would still be together. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!" Mitchie cried.
"No! Mitchie this ISN'T your fault!" I said hugging Mitchie. "Its Alex's"
"We should have told you sooner Cait. We're sorry" Shane said hanging his head.
"Its okay" I said pulling shane into the hug. "But we NEED to do something about this..."
"I don't think there is anything we can do..." Shane said staring off into space.
"There has to be!" I whined. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING! :(
And there is the 18th chapter. Once again I'm super sorry about the long wait. And please please review!!
