My Past and My Future Collide
Chapter 1: Flashback and Texts Messages
It is the last night Mitchie Torres will be sleeping in her own bed for a few weeks. See it has finally been another year of school, which is finally over and she is in her room packing for, Camp Rock, which she is lucky enough to get to attend for the second year in a row. She had the most amazing summer last year, well the end of it anyway. Mitchie had lied because Tess Tyler, yes the daughter of the TJ Tyler a famous singer, intimidated her and well almost lost Shane Gray, yes the famous pop star and lead singer of connect three, as her friend. However she was his mystery girl with the amazing voice therefore... they are friends too this day. She finished packing her last suitcase, zipped it closed, put it on the floor then fell onto her bed letting the blankets surround her not being able to erase the smile off her face. Immediately one of her favourite memories replays in her head, only the hundredth time since she left Camp Rock, a year ago.
Flash Back
Mitchie and Shane were to be packing or mingling with everyone else but instead they snuck away to go on one last Canoe trip for memories and to finally be alone for a bit after he found out it was her. There was definitely a connection between them but Shane had to find out if there was really anything left after her lying incident. They got into the canoe and got to the middle of the lake and again they kept going in circles but they just both laughed like the first time they were in a canoe.
"I think going in circles is our thing" Shane spoke in his honey sweet voice smiling as she giggled and smiled back
"Maybe it is. you okay with that?" She said as happy as ever
"Well of course" he replies "I still can't believe I found you"
"I still can't believe I'm her. I mean you kept saying how beautiful, and special her voice is. However Shane I'm really sorry you know I never LIED particularly to you, except in the canoe" she sighs
"I understand that now Mitchie" he replies "I like you better being yourself" He smiles "And I believe it's you. You are beautiful, your personality, voice, and looks. You're a beautiful person Mitchie Torres, and don't let anyone tell you different that's you be you" He says and she flushes red.
"Well, I like being myself, and I promise I will be myself from now on, especially since I'm beautiful in all ways" she replied giggling
"Okay I know I said that but don't milk it and make me take it back" he teases" And I know you're sorry plus It's the past, this is the future" he says smiling and they know it isn't affecting their friendship, or soon to be one, anymore. That made both of them relaxed and more comfortable around each other. She smiled at that comment.
They ended up spending almost an hour more in the canoe smiling in complete silence just getting lost in there own little world together. After what seemed like hours Mitchie Shivered and Shane decided to get back to the shore. They slowly made their way to the sandy shore, well after going in a few circles on the way still laughing noting they still don't know how to do it properly.
Once on the beach Shane had grabbed a blanket he found in the water sports cabin and they both sat down on the sand. He draped the blanket over their shoulders so Mitchie could get warmer. The water was as still as ever as they looked out at the moon casting its immaculate shadow along the surface. She smiled knowing she will never forget this night, with Shane of course.
Mitchie slowly leaned her head on to Shane's shoulder and he was perfectly fine with it. He was definitely falling for her. Not in love but he sure likes her a lot. Slowly and carefully not to disrupt the placement of the blanket he moves his arm and slowly wrapped it around her shoulder, his hand resting on her collar bone sending shivers through her spine in the best possible way. He then pulled her closer after feeling her shivering and she definitely thought she could get use to getting warm this way.
She smiles and for some reason raising her hand and they interlock their fingers like they were meant to be together. She smiles and looked up at him as her gaze caught his and he was smiling back. She felt him getting closer his breath so close she could almost feel it on her lips. It was so warm she knew a kiss was coming. Soon enough her eyes fluttered closed and their lips were just about to touch she could tell.
"MITCHIE" Caitlyn voice was hear and they jump apart Mitchie almost cursing Caitlyn well wrapping the blanket just around her sitting away from Shane as Caitlyn came running to the sand.
"Hey Caitlyn, what's up" Mitchie asked trying to stay calm
"Hey" Shane said nodding his head and Caitlyn nodded back
"We have to pack and your mom was wondering where you were. Oh and Shane, Nate and Jason are looking for you" She said and they both sighed quietly
"Okay I better go then" He said "Bye Mitchie, see you tomorrow at the leaving circle" He said sighing almost in rackety breath and ran off towards the camp rock theatre
"Thanks Caitlyn" Mitchie said sarcastically getting up laying the blanket there "Let's go"
"Whoa, I totally interrupted something didn't I" She said a little guilty
"Yeah, but it's better this way" Mitchie reassured her "Come on" She said linking arms walking towards the cabins into the one she now shared with Caitlyn, and Lola.
It was now the next morning around ten when we were all heading to the leaving circle. This was not going to be a fun day. Caitlyn and Mitchie cried yesterday. After she found out Mitchie almost kissed Shane. She screamed at that which was suspected. Also when Mitchie explained how she thought it was better and that she forgave Caitlyn, Caitlyn understood. It would be hard to kiss him then leave. Then they cried because they were leaving and they wish they didn't have to.
Mitchie had forgotten a few things earlier in the morning when she finished packing so she went back to the cabin grabbing them and when she stepped out of the cabin there was Shane. Of all people she would cry in front of. Why him?
"Hey" He said slowly
"Hi Shane" Mitchie said slowly and quietly
"So this is it?" He said
"I guess so" She replied trying to hide obvious tears surfacing to her eyes
"Only for now, we will see each other again I promise" He says and his arms slowly wrap around Mitchie and she hugs back only for her tears to slowly start falling
"Sorry, just emotional" She said pulling apart whipping her eyes
"Yeah" he agreed one tears slipping form his eyes as she giggles
"Let's go to the circle" She said walking towards the circle with Shane. He would do anything to take her hand but resisted. Instead he just rubbed his palm against hers when they got to the leaving circle and separated to pack their rides.
After Mitchie had packed her moms truck with her stuff she went over to say bye to 2 very important people, her new best friends. She had got all the numbers and e-mails she requested and received, especially Caitlyn's and Shane's, they had no completes at her requests she didn't finish the question before they were giving them to her. When she got back to the circle Shane's, Nate's, and Jason's Limo had arrived and they had to go.
Nate and Jason hugged Mitchie and Jason got in well Nate went over and hugged Caitlyn. She knew they liked each other. Guess they made progress. All of the sudden Mitchie was engulfed in Shane's arms as he was in hers. No one held back they were both crying now.
"I'll miss you" His whispered into her hair and she sighed
"Me to Shane, I'll miss you a lot" I replied
After five minutes when Nate was back in the car Caitlyn's face tear stained, Mitchie pulled away from the hug
"I'll txt you Mitchie" He said as he kissed her Cheek and disappeared into the limo.
The limo was driving away while Mitchie and Caitlyn hugged. Crying through everything that was happening, it all sucked. Soon her mom and Mitchie were ready and she said goodbye to Caitlyn before getting in the truck. She waved bye to everyone before they started the long journey home. She will never forget Camp Rock or when she was just about to leave the Camp Rock road because just then her phone sang and that was the beginning of a long Txt message relationship.
End of Flashback
She got taken out of her day dream when he phone sang Shane Mail. She laughed remembering that he recorded and set that as her ring tone the last day of camp rock before they had to leave. She looked at the clock the red letters reading 8:30. Right on time she thought. Every night at 8:30 Shane would txt Mitchie and they would stay up till the early hours of the morning sending txt backs and forth.
She opened her phone to read the message.
Hey Mitch, What's up?
She was just about to reply when her phone sang Shane mail again
Why aren't you sending back you always send back within a minute?
I'm fine Shane, you worry too much, and I was just about to send when you sent the second one
You know I'm impatient, so how are you?
Good excited for tomorrow, you?
Great, now that I'm talking to you and right Camp Rock starts tomorrow
Yeah how could you forget we first met there, and I can't wait to see you again, only after a year. You know it's hard being friends with someone so far away but for you it's worth it
Yeah we did meet there, and I didn't forget how could I, I talk to you every day and my phones backdrop is of us! Yeah it is definitely worth it.
Shane sighs after he sent that knowing she would freak out when she found out he wasn't going to camp, it really sucked.
So how is your album going, you started a new one right?
Yeah we did. It's going great it's not our usual cookie cutter pop star stuff
They both laugh remembering that day on the docks. She was totally flirting with him and he definitely noticed and totally didn't mind. He was so stupid for not going to camp. However it's not his fault their manager was making them complete the new album within the next month. Curse the music business.
That's great. I can't wait to here it. School is finally over. Thank god, well anyway I'm going to go to bed Shane. Big day tomorrow maybe you should get some rest to?
Yeah you definitely need the rest. Maybe I do too anyway. Goodnight Mitch Luv ya ~Shane
Yup. Goodnight Shane. Luv ya too ~Mitchie
They always send Luv ya at the end of their conversations. They weren't in love so they couldn't spell it full out it would be a little off since they aren't even dating. Anyways they liked each other they both knew it and Mitchie was hoping the being single thing was going to change once she got to camp.
Mitchie turned off her phone and got ready for bed looking at the clock reading 10:00. Wow they talked for an hour and a half it felt like 10 minutes. She sighs happy knowing she can see him again tomorrow. Well she thought she could. She turns off her light and falls into a peaceful slumber curled up in her bed for the last night for a month but it was worth it.
In Los Angeles Shane sighs well he walks into the game room belonging to him and the other members of connect three and flops on to the couch sighing and they knew he was just talking to Mitchie.
"Dude, you were talking to her for an hour and a half. You are still bummed?" Nate asked
"Why can't you stay in the room we can't read through your phone we don't have x-ray vision" Jason said and they looked at him and rolled there eyes
"So how can I not to be upset Nate?" Shane asked
"You can, just you were this upset yesterday you told her and you obviously still talked so it can't be that bad" Nate said and Shane sighed sadly
"You fought?" Jason asked making it sound horrible
"No, we talked like we usually do, it's impossible to fight with Mitchie. You both know that" Shane says obviously
"Then why are still so upset?" Asked Nate totally dumbfounded and confused
"I didn't tell her" Shane replied
"WHAT" Nate said exasperated "She is going to find out tomorrow when you never show up, I mean how stupid are you?" Nate concluded
"Really" Shane replied "I just can't and yeah we will fight, she will be mad but hopefully when we go up there for the last week the fifth week I can hopefully make it up to her and maybe get together" He says wishfully thinking
"Really?" Nate questions
"Yeah" Shane said "Why wouldn't I?"
"Let's see, get together within the week be together for what, 2 or 3 days then leave for who knows how long how is that going to work?" Jason said and they look at him shocked "What I have feelings" He said and they sighed
"Damn it, liking her is so hard, what about you Nate and Caitlyn" Shane asked
"She knows, she isn't happy but she knows." He says sitting beside Shane
"I just hope I will be able to fix this, it's not my fault though I mean they need the album." He says
"Yeah they do, and we have to be there for 7 am let's sleep" Nate says as him and Jason disperse to there bedrooms leaving Shane to his thoughts.
Shane turns off the game room lights and walks to his bedroom turning on his night side lamp closing the door and laying down on his bed. He sighs. He cares so much for Mitchie but he couldn't be at camp till the last week. It definitely sucked but what could he do? He wanted to tell her but she would freak out. She would anyway but he couldn't stand listening to it and over a txt message she would shut him out. Hopefully when she found out they could maybe sort it out over the phone, probably text. Oh who was he kidding? She wouldn't txt him back, ever. He would definitely explain though hoping she reads them. Then explain when they get there.
He sighs turning off his lights not sleeping. He felt so upset, he wasn't seeing Mitchie and it tore him up. He was also calm like everything is before the storm. Although he knew in a matter of hours the storm would happen and he would be broken, let alone knowing his love, wait love? Yes love. Would be hurting just as much or more then he was who was going to be miles and miles away from him. She would get over it though, maybe sad, then he would show up explain everything in person, and sweep her off her feet. They would get together and somehow make it work. He fell asleep knowing although what he didn't know is that a broken heart can't always be fixed… and definitely not twice. Just he didn't know hers had already been broken once.
The next morning around 5, Mitchie and her mom, Connie finished packing the catering truck and their bags and headed towards Camp rock. They drove into town both got a bagel and coffee from Tim Horton's and were on their way. After Mitchie ate she sighed happy knowing she would see Shane. Well she thought she was going to anyway. She leaned her head against the window. They would be arriving around 10 or 11. She slowly drifted asleep well her mom drove towards Camp Rock. Where another amazing summer would happen, and anyways who knows what could happen at camp. Let's just say a little bit of everything.
A/N: Okay so I decided I would write a Smitchie story. Since it's personally my first time working on and writing a Smitchie story it would be really great fully appreciated if you review and they will be replied to by me. The reviews mean a lot. I love hearing Ideas and how you enjoy the story. I also don't mind I actually liked receiving constructive criticism that's how I learn about my writing skills so please Read and Review. They really mean a lot to any writer. Oh and over 2750 words :)
P.S in the story Italics are flashbacks and dreams. However, during txt message conversations Italics are Shane's messages he sent and bold are Mitchie's messages she sent. Just to clear that up if you got confused:):)
P.S.S Some Later chapters Lyra might co-write but not yet decided.
