Hehehe lol. I'm sooo excited for you guys to read this chapter. It's full of Smitchie fluff, which I know isn't so read worthy sometimes, but this is just irresistible! Anyway, it's chapter 13 -YES! YES! YES!- and I hope you all (I mean all my readers) will love it! Shane's POV is first. ;)

I woke to the sun shining through my window and yawned, pushing the covers from my body.

It had been six days since the confrontation with my parents and I had almost forgotten it had ever happend, so that was an upside. Of course, my ankle was still broken and my shoulder was still sore, but otherwise it was almost like that day never happend.

Another upside was that Caitlyn's grounding was officially over today. That would make Nate happy.

I carefully crawled out of bed and used the crutches my parents had bought me to help me walk to thee bathroom. I stumbled a couple of times, but eventually made it. I did my hair, brushed my teeth and headed back into my room, stumblig to the closet. I pulled out a clean black v-neck tee and threw it onto the bed. I walked over to my dresser and opened the second drawer, pulling out a pair skinny jeans, tossing them on the bed as well. I walked over to the bed and sat down, dressing myself so I wouldn't fall over. I then put on one shoe, my left foot, and stood back up, walking out of room, crutches under my armpits.

"Shane!" I heard my Mom shout as I was just about to walk down the stairs. I turned to her and saw the panic in her facial features. "Here, let me help you," she rushed over and put her arm around my waist. That was just too weird.

"Mom, I can walk down the staircase by myself. It's not like I'm disabled." I told her and released from her grasp. She looked heartbroken for some reason. I sighed and closed my eyes. "Mom, please, can't I at least try to do it myself?" I asked and she gave me a small smile. She nodded and I turned back to the stairs, walking down with no problem. I made it to the bottom and headed into the kitchen.

"Morning Shane," Dad said as soon as I walked in, smiling at me.

"Morning Dad," I said and walked over to our regular dining table, sitting down and leaning my crutches against the table. Mom walked in and pulled the orange juice from the fridge, pouring it into a glass and setting it in front of me. "Thanks," I told her and she tousled my hair. I fixed it and took a sip of my orange juice.

Suddenly, my cell phone started playing my ringtone, "Solo" by Sean Kingston, for Mitchie. I smiled and opened my phone, pressing it to my ear.

"Hey Mitch,"

"Hey Shane Bear," I smiled at her nickname for me. The only reason she gave me that nickname was because she said I gave bear hugs. Well, I had to admit, my hugs were pretty amazing. "How are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm doing much better now." she giggled. "So what's up? Got anything planned for today?" I asked and leaned back, the smile still plastered on my face.

"Yeah, I was actually just calling to let you know I'm going shopping with Caitlyn in about an hour," she said and I chuckled.

"I bet Caitlyn's thankful for that," Mitchie giggled.

"Yeah, I bet. She's been stuck in her house for seven days, that's got to drive someone crazy!" we both chuckled this time.

Ah. I loved her laugh. Her laugh -full of happiness and love- was the most amazing sound I ever heard and I dont think I could ever get tired of it.

"So, got any free time for your boyfriend?" I asked.

"Oh, I don't know, I might have to move a few things around..." she trailed off as she giggled. "Of course I have time. I'll be over in a few minutes." I chuckled.

"I'll be waiting." I said and heard her blow a kiss. I smiled and hung up my phone, shoving it back into my pocket, just as Mom walked over with a plate of food.

"I'm assuming that was Mitchie," she said, smiling, and sat the plate on the table in front of me.

"Yeah, she was just calling to let me know she's going shopping with Caitlyn, now that her grounding is over with." Mom nodded and walked over to Dad by the sink. I took another sip of juice and ate my food, waiting for Mitchie.

[Mitchie's POV]

I hung up my phone and set it on my desk, walking over to my closet and pulling out a blue tank top and cropped tee. I pulled off my tee and put on the tank, then the cropped tee. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of pink jogging shorts. I slipped off my pajama bottoms and put on the shorts. I walked back over to my closet and slipped on a pair of brown flip-flops. I put my hair up in a quick pony and let my bangs fall over my forehead.

I headed down stairs, seeing Mom getting ready to come up. She looked up and smiled at me.

"Going for a jog? I thought you were going shopping with Caitlyn," she asked. I stopped on the stairs and nodded.

"I am, but I'm going over to Shane's for a few minutes." Mom nodded and continued walking up the stairs.

"Have fun!" she shouted and I rolled my eyes.

I headed outside, walking over to the garage and getting out my pink Schwinn bicycle. I peddled onto the asphalt and down my street, toward Shane's house.

I looked down at my watch, telling myself that I needed to be back by at least 10:45, seeing it was just 10:03. at the moment. I looked back up to my surroundings and felt the small breeze in my hair. I smiled, closing my eyes for a second so I could take in the peace. I opened my eyes back up and sighed, remembering the day Shane had returned for touring and surprised me while my parents and I had breakfast. I chuckled, shaking my head at the memory. My parents had acted so calm, so... normal. I hadn't known them to ever keep a secret. But apparently, they somehow did.

I took a left and continued down the street, trying to remember Shane's house. He had given me the directions last week, but it was hard to remember since almost every house around his looked completely the same. I bit my lip and searched for Shane's zip code in my brain. When I finally remembered it, I smiled and nodded to myself.

I finally reached Shane's street. I looked at every house, making sure I wouldn't miss his. I finally spotted his mailbox, seeing his zip code, and turned into his driveway. I hopped off my bike and parked it on the sidewalk near Shane's car, kicking down the kick stand. I skipped to the front door and knocked on it, wearing a huge smile. I heard movement and, suddenly, the door opened, revealing the most adorable guy on earth.

"Hey baby," I said and bit my lip, stepping closer, and kissing him. I smiled once I tasted his lips, noticing he had recently drank orange juice. "Mmm... you taste good," Shane chuckled and licked his lips.

"Yeah, I just had breakfast... and it was good." I giggled and lightly slapped his arm.

"Aww, he's soo cute!" I gawked over Shane's adorable puppy, Winston, whom was an English bull dog. I couldn't keep my hands off him - I wanted his dog.

We were in Shane's backyard, just hanging out in the sun for a while. Shane sat beside me on a long beach chair, watching me play with his dog. It was about 92 degrees outside, but the humidity was low, which was nice.

Shane chuckled, saying, "Yeah, I just got him back yesterday. My uncle had him while I was on tour," I nodded and picked Winston up, setting him on my lap. I scratched behind his ears and he let his tounge hang out. I laughed.

"I wish I had a dog," I scratched Winston's back and looked over at Shane. "My parents just don't think I need one, which is really weird, because they say that dogs are a person's best friend." he nodded and scratched behind Winston's right ear.

Suddenly, Winston jumped off my lap, onto the ground, and chased a passing by squirrel. Shane and I laughed as we watched him chase the squirrel up a tree, missing him by just mere inches.

"Come here Winston," Shane said, putting his thumb and index finger in his mouth to whistle. I smiled as Winston ran over, jumping at Shane. He picked him up and held him in his lap, Winston's tounge swinging every which way.

"Shane, it's getting pretty hot out," I said looking around his backyard. "maybe we should go in." Shane nodded and handed Winston to me. Shane stood up and grabbed his crutches, putting each under both armpits and heading for the house. I stood up and followed, carrying Winston inside. Once I got in I set Winston on the tile floor and he raced toward his water bowl. I closed the sliding door and walked into the kitchen, seeing Shane already in there. He was pouring two glasses of water from, what looked like, a crystal pitcher. "Do you need any help?" I asked, sitting down at the island.

"No, I got it." I nodded and Shane handed me a glass. I put it to my lips and took a few sips. Refreshing. I set it down and turned to Shane, who was already sitting down beside me.

"So, are you doing anything today?" Shane took a sip from his glass and set it down, shaking his head.

"No, my schedule is all clear today, which sucks because now I have nothing to do."

"What do you mean, "nothing to do"? What about hanging out with your brothers?" I asked.

"Jason's hanging out with Marissa again," I rolled my eyes, laughing in my head. "and Nate's hanging out with a few of his friends." I gave Shane a sympathetic look, suddenly feeling sorry for him. I had broken his ankle and made one of his free days a total bore by planning to go shopping with Caitlyn. Was that completely selfish of me?

"Shane, I'm sorry. I wish you could come shopping with Cait and I-"

"No, you girls need to spend time together, really. I'll find something to do in this house," I put my hand on his cheek and gave him a smile. He put his hand on top of mine and closed his eyes. I leaned over a quickly pecked his cheek, making him smile. He opened his eyes back up and leaned over, kissing me back. We parted and I giggled, feeling so incredibly amazing inside.

Suddenly, Shane's parents walked in, just missing our lips pressed together. I blushed and grabbed my glass of water, taking another sip. Shane did the same. His parents looked at us, wondering what was going on.

"Uh, is everything ok in here?" Mr. Gray asked. I pulled the glass from my lips and nodded, smiling, with a mouth full of water. I shallowed and set my glass down.

"It was just getting hot outside so we decided to come in for a drink." I looked over at Shane and he nodded. It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the only thing we did when we came in. Mr. Gray nodded and turned around, pulling a glass from the cabinet and setting it on the counter top. Mrs. Gray rested her hands on the counter, looking at Shane and I.

"Do you guys want us to uncover the pool? We haven't used it yet this summer," she asked in a sweet voice. I smiled and noticed the clock on the microwave behind Mrs. Gray. My smile faded. It was 10:42.

"Uh, I actually need to go get ready so I can go shopping with Caitlyn," I told Mrs. Gray and then looked over at Shane. His smile was gone and I wanted to wrap my arms around him. Unfortunately, his parents were in the room. Shane looked over at me and gave a small smile. "I'm sorry," I mouthed. He nodded. I leaned over and kissed his cheek before standing up. "I'll see you later, ok?" I said to Shane and he nodded, turning in his chair as I walked further away. I waved and walked over to the door.

"Wait!" I heard Shane shout as soon as I touched the doorknob. I turned around as he came over, looking somewhat out of breath. I smiled up at him as he inched closer. His breath touched my face and I closed my eyes for a moment, still smiling. I opened them back up and a smile came to Shane's face.

"Did you forget something?" I asked, biting my lip.

"No, but you did." Shane cupped my face in his hands and pressed our lips together. I instantly grabbed his crutches before they could fall and alert his parents that something was wrong. But nothing was wrong, everything was right. I kissed him back, melting against his lips, and soaked up every second I could. Shane slowly pulled away, panting.

"You're right, I did forget something." I whispered and Shane pecked me once more before letting go of my face and taking back his crutches. His smile was just what I needed to let me know that his day was going to be fine. I giggled and blew him a kiss before opening the door and stepping outside. I jogged over to my bike and got on, sighing with my eyes closed. I opened them up and peddled back home, Shane obviously watching me until I wasn't visible any longer.
