Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Mitchie P.O.V
"Not here you don't. Come on." Caitlyn said as she pulled Mitchie away from the crowd of murmuring people.
Shane's words kept repeating themselves in her head. She had lied and lost Shane's trust and Shane himself.
The next morning, Mitchie walked into the cabin where they were holding dance class. As soon as she went in everyone grew silent.
"What a joke." Tess said, laughing as she walked away.
Without saying a word, Mitchie went to the back of the room and sat down. Soon after Shane walked in and everyone quieted down and took a seat on the floor as he stood in the front.
He began, "So here's some advice. It's not all about your image. None of it means anything unless people see who you really are. And your music has to be who you really are. It's gotta show how you feel, or it doesn't mean anything"
He looked at her the whole time and even as Mitchie felt tears sting her eyes she couldn't look away. She deserved the look he gave her. Of distrust, of judging, and especially of disgust.
Finally he seemed to realize there were other people in the room and took his eyes off of her. Mitchie looked away and released a breathe she didn't know she had been holding.
Once Shane began instructing for everyone to get up to dance, Mitchie left. She wouldn't delude herself into thinking they would let her participate like before. Of course she knew she had brought this on herself and she didn't blame them. She couldn't even blame Tess.
Slowly she walked away from camp, making sure to keep out of other campers way. She didn't know how much time had passed but later she heard the bell for lunch. Mitchie ignored it and kept walking, going around the lake, farther into the wooded area. Thinking to send her mom a message telling her she was fine, Mitchie realized she had left her phone in her cabin.
"Oh well, she probably won't notice, with another bon fire tonight."
Deciding to get out of the sun, she went into the forest a bit deeper and sat down on a tree trunk. She closed her eyes and flashes from the summer passed through her mind, sometimes lingering on Shane longer than she liked. She stopped at the memory from the previous day. Shane's words cut into her again and tears slid down her cheeks. Mad at herself she refused to think about Shane. Instead she began going through her newest song in her head. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Shane P.O.V
As Shane entered the cabin he would be teaching dance moves at, his eyes automatically landed on Mitchie. He didn't know what he felt. He wanted to be mad at her but it hurt him to see her down and alone. But he was stubborn and kept the memory of the previous day fresh in his mind.
"So here's some advice. It's not all about your image. None of it means anything unless people see who you really are. And your music has to be who you really are. It's gotta show how you feel, or it doesn't mean anything", he said as he looked right at Mitchie.
But he wasn't sure whether he was talking about her or himself. Lately he had been losing love for his music and whether Mitchie had lied or not, she made Shane want to devout to his music again.
Soon he remembered the others in the room and he tore his gaze away from Mitchie's. Her eyes were glazed with tears and they seemed so lost and hurt, he wanted to kick himself. Who was he to punish her?
Forcing her out of his mind so he could concentrate, he began teaching a couple dance techniques. Halfway through the class he noticed Mitchie was gone. He kept telling himself not to worry about her and be glad she had left, but his mind wouldn't listen.
As the day worn on he didn't see a trace of Mitchie. During lunch she was nowhere to be seen. 'Stop thinking about her.', he told himself sternly. Soon the sun went down as did the temperature. Not long after dinner, it began to pour. Still, Mitchie was out of sight. Since it was raining, he thought she would be in her cabin.
Shane met Nate and Jason at his cabin. They saw him and stopped talking.
"Hey guys." he said
"Hey." they replied in unison.
Before Shane could ask what they had been talking about they saw Mrs. Torres stop Caitlyn and ask her where Mitchie was.
Caitlyn shook her head. "Sorry Mrs. Torres. I haven't seen Mitchie since this morning."
Mrs. Torres nodded, looking a bit worried. "That's odd. I didn't see her at lunch or dinner."
Caitlyn smiled reassuringly, "I'm sure she's around her somewhere. Probably writing a new song or something."
"You've got a point. That's my Mitchie." Mrs. Torres said, also smiling.
Shane thought about how Mitchie's mom seemed to have completely forgotten about the day before. She was probably the most affected yet she had left it behind her. If Mitchie's mom could move on so should everyone else. Him especially.
Then something struck Shane. No one had seen Mitchie all day. Saying bye to Nate and Jason, he decided to look for her before it got too late.
