Throughout Shane's entire flight to New Jersey he continued to wonder what he had done to piss Mitchie off, except she didn't sound as pissed as she did hurt. Shane furrowed his eyebrows. What did he do wrong?

Mitchie awoke that morning feeling horrible, and to make matters worse her mother reminded her that her school's talent show was to take place today. She was in no mood to perform in front of a bunch of people that were teasing her over her breakup with Shane, or to perform a song she had written for a certain jackass. She could kill both Shane and Sierra for getting her into this mess. She thought she could fake being sick, but that would just lead to being ridiculed even worse by Shaina.

Mitchie got herself ready and felt that she looked decent considering; at least she didn't look like she had just been run over by a truck like she had every other day this week. As she checked herself one last time she heard a knock at the door. She opened the door to reveal none other than Shane Gray. She moved to shut the door in his face, but he managed to push the door open to fit him through before she could close it.

Mitchie glared at Shane. He felt weak under her glare. "What the hell gives you the right to be here? Get out of my house!" Venom filled her voice.

Shane went to touch her arm, but she flinched away. "Mitch," he whispered. "Baby, please I don't even know what I did. Just tell me! I want to fix this!" Shane begged.

"There's nothing to fix. It's too broken." Mitchie had her arms crossed and she looked at the floor.

"Don't say that!"

"Don't say you don't know what you did! I know you're not that stupid!" Tears leaked from Mitchie's eyes.

"Baby," Shane whispered. He attempted to pull her to him, but she wouldn't budge.

"Don't touch me you, you," Mitchie couldn't finish her sentence as she fell against the wall to the floor. Sobs overtook her body. Shane went to comfort her. "Stay away from me!"

Connie heard shouts coming from her living room so she made her way out of the kitchen to see a completely broken Mitchie and a dumbfounded Shane. Connie gave Shane a disgusted look and said, "You better go now Shane."

"Wha?" Shane couldn't get the whole word out.

"Just go Shane."

As Shane walked out the door Connie wrapped her arms around her daughter as she cried into her mother.

Shane sat on Mitchie's porch and cried. If only he knew how he screwed everything up. If only he knew how to fix it.

A couple hours later Mitchie found herself in her school's auditorium for the talent show. Sierra spent every minute backstage with her until it was her turn to go on.

"And our text talent is our very own Mitchie Torres singing a song she's written herself!"

Mitchie's wobbly legs led her out onto the stage. She sat at the piano and attempted to block out everyone in the audience.

She played the first few notes of the song on the piano. When it came time to sing her voice came out soft and unsteady.

The thing about love is I never saw it coming,

It kinda crept up and took me by surprise

Mitchie's voice cracked at this line.

And now there's a voice inside my heart that's got me wondering

Is this true?

Mitchie's emotions came out after this line. She began to cry her heart out.

I wanna hear it one more time

As the tears began to overtake her body she looked out into the audience. Her eyes met a familiar pair of brown eyes, Shane Gray's.

"I'm sorry," she cried and ran off of the stage. She wasn't quite sure where she was running, but she had to get out of there.

Shane's heart broke more with every sob that came from Mitchie. When she made eye contact with him he saw the raw emotion and the pain in her eyes. It killed him to know that he did this to her. It hurt him even more to not know what he did. When Mitchie ran off the stage he took off to follow her. He walked the adjoining wall of the auditorium until he walked outside. There he saw Mitchie hunched over, sobs wracking her body.

Cautiously, Shane made his way over to her. He gently placed a hand on her back. Mitchie flinched but to his surprise she didn't run.

"Please," he begged. "What's bothering you?"

He put a hand on her back and began to gently rub it as he sat down next to her.

More tears fell from Mitchie's eyes. "God I wanna hate you so bad right now." Mitchie was looking everywhere but at Shane. "And I hate that I can't hate you because I love you so much and-and." Mitchie sniffed. "you don't love me."

Those words pierced Shane's heart. "Yes I do! Why made you think that I don't? Mitch, you're my whole world."

Mitchie continued to cry. "I really wish I could believe you Shane."

Shane did something he didn't do to often. He began to cry in front of Mitchie. However she didn't notice. "Why can't you?"

"How could you not know Shane? God! Rebecca Davis Shane! Does she ring a bell?"

A look of shock came across Shane's features. "How do you know about her?" he asked.

Mitchie scoffed. "HotTunes told me all about her. Yeah Shane, she changed you for the better and she's such a great catch. Oh, and you're so inseparable." Sobs began to overtake Mitchie.

Shane put his arms around Mitchie and pulled her close to him. He felt her tears soak through to his shirt but he didn't care. "Is this what that's all about Mitchie? You think I'm cheating on you?"

Mitchie nodded. "Aren't you? I mean I tried so hard to give you the benefit of the doubt and I even tried to call you to talk about it and you never even called me back. And then I wake up the next morning and you and her are on HotTunes again, and you're out partying unitl 3 in the morning while I just sit here and miss you and love you and believe that you feel the same way." She cried.

"Baby I do feel the same way! I swear! It's not what you think!"

Mitchie finally looked at Shane. "Then what the hell is it?"

Shane looked deep into her eyes. "Rebecca Davis is my cousin."

His cousin? "Your what? Then why was the press saying all of those things?"

"The press only knows my parents, they don't know the rest of my family. They've been sniffing around me know for weeks trying to figure out what changed me. So I guess they picked the first female they could find and turned it into a story." Shane sighed dejectedly. "And they might have destroyed the best thing that ever happened to me."

"Shane," she started. Mitchie began to feel guilty. She put him through all of this for his cousin? Should she believe him?

Shane saw the battle going on in her head through her eyes. He chuckled. "Want me to call her? You can talk to her, ask her anything you want."

"Would you be mad at me if I did?" Mitchie whispered.

"Not if it fixes this." Shane opened his phone, only to have it closed by Mitchie. "What are you doing?" he asked.

Tears were evident in Mitchie's eyes. "I believe you and I'm sorry that I wouldn't hear you out before."

Shane wiped the tears that were falling from Mitchie's face. "Hey it's nothing."

Mitchie let out a small laugh. "I guess this is why you had no idea what you did wrong."

Shane grinned. "Exactly." Shane's eyes traveled from Mitchie's eyes to her lips and back again. The space between them began to close and they met in a small gentle kiss. Fireworks bubbled in both of their stomachs. As they pulled away Shane whispered, "I missed that."

"Me too," Mitchie grinned back at Shane and they met in another kiss.

Two updates in one night! Wow for me haha
