Chapter 27: Beautifully Innocent

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A/N: Dares people. I need dares! It can be anything and anyone can do a dare. P.S sorry this is so extremely short. But I felt everything that needed to be said for this chapter was said.

When Shane had finally gotten Mitchie to calm down the first possible rational thing that entered his mind.

Call the police.

But looking at the still distressed Mitchie.

He didnt bother with it.

A stupid move on his part.

Yes he knew.

But he also knew it would push Mitchie over the edge.

Mitchie who he had finally gotten to calm down.

How did this happen.

How did he end up with a Mitchie who was such a emotional wreck and no longer sweet and wonderful.

Because Mitchie grew up.

And Mitchie faced things she shouldnt have had to face.

But she did.

And those things caused her to grow up.

And although Shane loved her.

He didnt love her like this.

But maybe thats what all of this was.

Him getting his Mitchie back.

Because a grown up Mitchie.

Wouldnt have screamed and cried at the thought of someone out to get her.

She wouldnt still be there on the bathroom floor afraid to leave because of the human hand.

She wouldnt have called Shane.

And she wouldnt have placed trust on him the way she has.

Looking at her.

Her now dark brown hair pushed behind her head.

Flowing down in the way only her hair can.

Her face red with tears streaked down.

Her eyes glazed over.

He couldnt help but tell that, she was his Mitchie at that moment.

Vulnerable.

Innocent.

And purely beautiful.

Picking up the box and poking the hand into it.

He took it.

And tossed it.

He didnt care if he should have gotten the police to look into who did it.

He just wanted his Mitchie.

And for the moment.

She was in there on the bathroom floor.

Slowly coming back to him.

And he wasnt going to let his Mitchie slide away.

He was going to make sure she kept a tight grip on being his beautifully innocent Mitchie.

Who was curious.

And always happy.
