The writing style is something completely new for me and this chapter just is the beginning of the story, I cannot wait to dive into the plot in the upcoming chapters with you all.
I really hope you enjoy it as I have loved writing it so far.
One
"I'm really sorry I didn't spend more time with you this summer." She says looking into Shane's dark eyes, and Mitchie means it. He had come back to Camp Rock for her and she had thrown that all away, she had let the camp's rivalry with Camp Star get the best of her.
"Hey the whole reason I came here this summer was-"
"Was to get to know me better." Mitchie cuts him off, knowing that was the reason why. She still feels incredibly guilty.
Shane looks at her intently before replying, "I've learned everything I need to know."
Mitchie smiles to herself and she feels happy, truly happy for the first time in a long time. Shane looks at her with an expression that makes her feel weak and she places her hands on the sides of his face, bringing her lips to his. He seems surprised at first and soon responds to the kiss, placing his hands on her waist as she kisses him sweetly, for the first time all year she had expressed her true feelings. They both knew what was there, she knew this, yet neither had truly acted on their feelings.
Pulling away a moment later, Mitchie smiles to herself, gazing up at Shane who ha a similar smile on his face. Words weren't needed, it was something that was never needed between the two of them since they met. They had an unspoken understanding and Mitchie knew she had deep feelings for him. He was the closest thing she had to a best friend, he knew so much about her.
Together they make their way to the camp fire that was going on, she feels him intertwine his hand with hers and she loves the way it feels, the way it sends tingles up and down her arm. Approaching the camp fire, she notices all their friends and her smile becomes bigger. These were the people who had her back and she knew that would always be there for her.
They sit down on a log and Shane lets go of her hand briefly, grabbing it again as soon as they are seated and not allowing any time at all for Mitchie to frown at the lost of contact.
Nate and Jason begin to play guitar and Shane turns to her and begins to sing. Mitchie has to avert his gaze for just a moment, it was rather overwhelming having him sing to her even after all this time. Not because he is an international recording artist, but because he makes her feel butterflies in the pit of her stomach.
She begins to sing along with him, it was so natural singing together as their voices magically fit together like two missing pieces of a puzzle.
Nate and Caitlyn begin to sing together next and she feels Shane wrap an arm around her shoulder, her smile becomes bigger. The rest of the camp begins to sing with them all and Mitchie knew she couldn't be happier.
She was wrong though, campers from Camp Star soon appear on canoes wanting to join in, Tess wants to come back to Camp Rock the next summer and she stands up truly overjoyed. Camp Rock was supposed to be over and now there was hope they could all come back again. Looking at Shane next to her, she couldn't contain her grin.
More and more campers from Camp Star confess they want to come to Camp Rock the next summer and Nate begins to sing again as she feels Shane hold her hand once more. Both camps began singing together, putting everything from the summer behind them and Mitchie was in total bliss as Shane wrapped his arm around her shoulder again as they sang for everyone as well as to each other.
The song came to an end and Shane brought her into a tight hug and she was home, life was pretty much perfect. She held him as she closed her eyes, savouring the moment and his touch as life couldn't get much better than this.
…
"I want to talk about us." He says as he brings Mitchie into his cabin later that night, he has a smile on his face so she knows it can't be anything too bad if bad at all.
Mitchie can't help but think about the day they first met, about how he had stormed into the kitchen and she had flour all over her face. He had been quite rude, the bad boy of the entertainment world at the time and she had changed that.
Sitting down on the edge of his bed, Mitchie looks at him amused as he runs a hand through his hair clearly not knowing what it is that he exactly wants to say.
"Shane..." Mitchie says softly. She gets him, she gets him probably more than anyone else does.
Shane sits down next to her resting a hand on her knee, "You were on television tonight, you know that everyone will know who you are now."
She understands instantly what he is trying to say to her, "They will all assume that we are together...if that's what we are exactly." She had never been in a real relationship before and didn't want to make assumptions herself.
"I hope we are together." He grins and Mitchie feels nerves she didn't even know she had disappear instantly.
"We hugged on stage and I pretty much cried in your arms when we lost." And there is a hint of sadness in her voice, although in reality she has actually won a lot tonight.
"I am sure the blogs are already talking, plus some of these campers are bound to say something online or to the media directly." Shane says rather seriously, "I don't want to deny anything at all, I want to be completely honest with everything relating to you."
The funny thing was that he was being completely honest with everything to her when she had indirectly lied to him the previous summer. This made her feel guilty, but she wouldn't voice those concerns at all.
"What happens from here?" The possibilities are endless, and the mere thought of this is frightening. All she wants is to be able to be in his arms and stay in his cabin with him forever because he is pretty much her best friend and now also officially her boyfriend.
"I will admit we are together to the first interviewer who asks me the question. You just have to know that you will get a lot of attention for this, I just hope you can handle it." He smirks teasingly.
Shoving him gently, he grabs her wrist with his free hand and kisses her before she even has a chance to think. Their lips mould together perfectly and Mitchie truly appreciates the lengths he was going for her.
She was a normal girl and he was Shane Gray, the frontman of an internationally famous band. She saw him for who he was though, he was Shane. Her best friend, her boyfriend, the person she hoped she would never have to go without in her life because their connection was so intense, inexplainable and most of all too amazing to even try and comprehend.
…
Shane walks her back to her cabin an hour later and she contemplates asking him to stay with her as she knows the other girls will already be asleep. She decides that this is a bad idea though as he would be there the next morning and she knows he loves to sleep in.
"I want to see you tomorrow before you leave. We only live thirty minutes apart so I don't want to hear any excuses for not coming to see me sometime this week." He says, tucking some hair behind her ear rather affectionately.
"Of course. I want to see you as soon as I can, it will be so much easier this year with you not being on tour the whole time."
He kisses her and Mitchie feels his tongue slip against her own, making her feel absolutely breathless, like this is actually real and not a dream. Making her feel like things will last for a long time, that this isn't a temporary thing.
Of course she is sad to part with him, but Mitchie goes into her cabin and quickly gets changed before slipping into her bed.
Laying in bed in the darkness was when she was able to think a lot and reminisce even. Over the past year she had shared a lot of her life with Shane, they had become quite close over emails and texting and even the occasional phone call. Mitchie knew that there was always more than friendship with them and that it was only a matter of time for them to be reunited. He had been on tour all year and Mitchie hadn't gotten to see him once, not even in concert as she was busy focusing on her junior year of high school.
She considered him one of her closest friends now, Sierra had become quite distant ever since she had come back from Camp Rock after her first year. Not realising it at first, Mitchie kept on calling her every night yet Sierra hardly ever wanted to talk. It was like she wanted nothing to do with her anymore. It didn't occur to Mitchie that someone else was behind this change in behaviour, Sierra had gotten her first serious boyfriend over the summer and Mitchie thought it was just a faze and that being ignored wouldn't last long as she was infatuated with this new boy. They had grown up together and had been friends for over a decade. How could she toss their friendship aside?
Mitchie was surprised when several months had passed and she was still sitting on her own at the lunch table, Sierra only ever spoke to her when her new boyfriend wasn't there. She doesn't say anything though, because Sierra is happy and she can't be the one to ruin that. They still speak at school in class, but they aren't close at all. She can't remember the last time they even texted each other, just because.
Confiding in Shane makes her feel better though, he was there for her even though he was on tour. Shane was recording new songs, performing countless shows and taking part in hundreds of interviews yet he was always there for Mitchie whether it be in a text or email. He was travelling all around the country as well as other countries and was there for her more than her Sierra was when she only lived a few streets away.
Sierra didn't even know about Shane, she was never told because quite frankly she wasn't interested in anything Mitchie had to say. She was too busy talking about what date she had gone on that weekend and what her gifts her boyfriend had bought her.
She'd be lying if she said she wasn't upset about Sierra, because truthfully she was devastated. So many tears had been shed and she didn't want to bother anymore with someone who would so carelessly forget about her all for a guy. She wished simply thinking about her old best friend didn't make her want to cry.
Closing her eyes she knows she has somewhat changed too; she has become much more confident over the year. Not only that but she has changed physically, loosing her childhood bangs and dying her hair black. The change was good, it was needed and even made her begin to get noticed by boys.
Never having anything remotely serious with a boy before, she ignored all advances as she felt as if this would be betraying Shane. They never agreed to be exclusive whilst he was touring, yet she couldn't bring herself to going out on a date with any of them and could never justify her reasons as the words 'I am waiting for Shane Gray to finish his tour' would have made her the laughing stock of her school. No one would believe it.
It ends up being another hour before she can fall asleep as her mind simply won't switch off. Thoughts of Camp Rock's future, Sierra and Shane consume her before sleep ultimately does.
…
It's sad saying goodbye to all the campers the following day, promising to email and text each other whenever possible. The mere thought of leaving Camp Rock makes her want to cry.
"I want to see you sometime next week before school starts again." Caitlyn says, hugging Mitchie goodbye. She was great, she always listened and Mitchie considered her one of her closest friends as they just understood each other.
"Good, because I plan on staying up all night with you watching scary movies." Mitchie grins, glad that she also lives in Los Angeles around thirty minutes away.
Finally she spots Shane, and after one last goodbye to Caitlyn she rushes over to him and wraps her arms around his torso.
"I am so glad we won't have a repeat of last summer." He murmurs, "It almost killed me leaving you last time knowing I wouldn't see you until the next summer."
Mitchie is touched by his words, "I missed you a lot, I am kind of surprised that this all worked out." She admits and he pulls away from the hug slightly to study her.
"This isn't goodbye I hope you know." He says, leaning down and capturing her lips in his own gently, "I am going to call you tonight." He pulls away.
She knew as soon as she got home she would be back to reality; people would know who Mitchie Torres was, the girl who sung with Shane Gray on national television, the girl who clearly was dating Shane Gray.
This didn't matter though, because the only thing that mattered right now was Shane.
Not Shane Gray of Connect 3.
Just Shane.
