XO I love You

If you met me nine months ago you would say that I was an average 16 year old girl, only child two working class parents in a average house in a small town, Union County New Jersey. If you met me today you would say my life is far from normal. I am now 17, I have a Rock Star boyfriend, and I just completed my first album

My name is Mitchie Torres. I met my boyfriend, Shane Gray at Camp Rock nine months ago he was a stuck up pop star before I met him, his band Connect Three almost lost their contract because of his awful attitude. He was sent to Camp Rock to change his attitude, I was sent to follow my dreams. I think we both got what we wanted. I met Shane before he 'met' me. I was working in the kitchen when he came in complaining about God knows what, no one knew I had to work in the kitchen and I didn't want him to find out either so I threw flower over my face so he wouldn't be able to recognize me thus me meeting him before he met me (I was also a fan of their band so I knew he was alive before he knew of me). He heard me singing in the Mess Hall one day, though I had no idea anyone was listening and he had no idea who was singing, He spent the whole summer looking for "the girl with the voice". While he was looking for the girl with the voice he and I were hanging out together neither of us knew that I was the girl with the voice though. I did lie to him though I lied to everyone at Camp I told them all that my mother was the CEO of Hot tunes in China my secret was let out by Camp diva Tess Tyler. I felt awful most of the Camp was angry with me for lying, I only did It to fit in I really didn't want to hurt any one I think Shane was must upset with me though. It was at Final Jam that I sung the song This Is Me that he realized I was the girl with the voice he interrupted me with his song written to sound like mine, Gotta Find You. He says that I was the voice that changed him, that saved him. He told me that night that he was so happy I was the girl he was looking for. We had our first kiss that night. Two weeks later on September 2, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

Today is March 2 our six month anniversary, and this may sound crazy but we haven't even said I love you. Yet . I have wanted to tell him that I did for a while now but I get scared that he doesn't feel the same so I don't say anything. Tonight he is taking me out to dinner at some fancy restaurant in New York City. I think I need to tell him that I love him.

I picked up my phone and called my best friend Caitlyn Gellar who fortunately lived a half hour away in a suburb near Philadelphia. I dialed her number and waited a minute until her voice mail picked up

"CAITLYN MARIE GELLAR I NEED HELP I HAVE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST DATE OF MY LIFE TONIGHT AND I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR AND I NEED TO TELL SHANE SOMETHING BUT I NEED YOUR HELP CALL ME…. Oh and tell Nate I say hi." I yelled. Nate is Caity's boyfriend, Shane's band mate, and a good friend of mine.

Shane lived with his band mates Nate and Jason in a penthouse in New York City, they also had an apartment in L.A but they only used that when absolutely necessary, now they choose to spend most of their time in New York since it was much closer to Cait and I.

My phone buzzed less than two minutes later but it wasn't Cait it was Shane and it was only a text.

Hi babe can't wait to see you tonight I'll pick you up at 6:15 be ready dinner reservations are at 7 xo Shane

I typed back a quick reply

Me too! miss you lots see you soon! Oxox

The xo, and the oxox go back to our first week as boyfriend and girlfriend, we were jokingly fighting over which goes first he said x's go first I said o's go first we fought for like 15 minutes before he googled it and found out that he was right, but I still do the o's first. In fact I say oxox, but he says xo. We end every text and every phone call with it.

I ran down stairs to find my mom, if Cait wouldn't help my mom would have to do her job, besides my mom and I are very close I tell her almost everything.

I found her working on a recipe in the kitchen. "Mom I need your help please come upstairs!" I half screamed every time I looked at the clock it seems as if a whole hour had gone by time is ticking away and now I only have 5 hours until I had to be ready for our date.

"Okay sweetie I'm coming what's wrong?" she asked following me up the stairs back into my bedroom.

"My six month anniversary date with Shane is in 5 hours I have nothing to wear and I think I need to tell him I love him but I don't know if he feels the same way! What if he doesn't, that could ruin everything!" I said all in one breath

"Alright well the clothing part is easy your dad's businesses is doing well I think we have enough extra cash to take you shopping for a new dress, text Shane and ask him how fancy you need to be dressed. The next part of your dilemma is a bit more difficult to solve we can talk about that in the car, get your shoes on lets go shopping!"

"Okay let me just text Shane."

How fancy on a scale of 1-10 should I be dressed? Oxox I sent him.

Before walking out the door I glanced at myself in the mirror, maybe it was time for a change in hairstyle, black maybe and get it my bangs cut to the side. Shane had changed his hair since camp I think it's time I changed mine.

I ran out to the car where my mom was waiting. "Hey mom what would you think about me dying my hair black and cutting my bangs to the side I think it might make me look older."

"Oh I like that actually would you like to do that today too?"

"Yea can we I want to surprise Shane!"

"Sure let's go now did he text you back yet?" she asked

"Nope not yet so let's do the hair first. I think he had an interview at 12:30 and its only 1:00 now so he might be a little while unless he gets a break."

"Alright, well sweetie are you still thinking about telling him you love him?"

"Yea…I think I will tonight … I really care about him." I said slowly

"I think he feels the same way about you I have seen the way he looks at you, I'm surprised you haven't said I love you yet I was under the impression that you already had."

"Nope I think he almost said it a couple of weeks ago though, we were talking on the Phone getting ready to hang up and he was like 'I lo- I miss you see you soon' then hung up before I could say anything. I told Cait about that right after it happened she said she thinks he is waiting for a special moment to say it."

"I think she might be right that sure sounds like he was ready to say it, maybe he didn't want to say it over the phone. But come on were here, and I promise you tonight will be the night that he or you says I love you, who says it first I'm not entirely sure but I think you will both say it back."

"Thanks Mom. Let's go." I said smiling at her. I really am lucky, I know a lot of girls who would never be able to have that kind of conversation with their Mother. We walked into the mall, where my salon was located and my Phone buzzed, a text from Shane.

Hmmm a nine xo

"Mom! He said a nine on a scale of 1-10 thank god we came shopping I have nothing that fancy that I haven't already worn!"

"Its okay hun, we have plenty of time lets go get your hair done."

I quickly texted Shane back

Okay… are you spoiling me again? I have a surprise for you well three actually I can't wait oh and how's the interview oxox

I got Shane a new guitar case for our anniversary, that was one surprise the others were my hair and me telling him that I love him.

I entered the salon and explained to my hair dresser what I wanted done, jet black, lots of layers, and my bangs cut to the side. She informed me it would take a while, maybe an hour and a half, so entertained myself with a magazine, about Shane. Our relationship was public Shane told the world about us during an interview on the Ellen Show about a month after we started dating. He texted me back a few minutes after I sat down.

Yes you know how I loveto spoil you, I have a few surprises for you too… the interview is over, they asked two questions about the album the rest were about us… according to the interviewer the world loves SMITCHIE ahah we got a couple name. xo

I smiled huge at our couple name I had seen it on a few fan sites before, I think its so cute that we have a couple name.

I sent back

I love that Smitchie ahah … I'm sorry was it bad I hate that we take the focus off your guy's album…oxox

Not even a minute later he replied

No its fine babe I like talking about us, but I am going to go take a nap I'll see you soon xo

I sighed I feel bad for them the record company really does over work them but I feel even worse that I make him come visit me, well not that I really make him but he also has to make sure that I'm happy it must be very taxing on him, it would be on anyone. I am going to living that kind of lifestyle soon. They will have my contract all drawn up by next month, believe it or not, I am signing to a different record company than Shane. I am going with FATMUSIC his record company, B&R production's sister company, I did this on purpose because I saw what they did to Shane and I didn't want to end up like he used to be, a cookie- cutter-pop star with a bad attitude.

I texted him back

Sleep tight can't wait oxox

I dosed off a little after this waiting now for the hair color to set before they could wash it out.

Fifteen minutes later a timer buzzed letting my stylist know that it was time to rinse the color. I kept my eyes closed after that I didn't want to see anything until it was finished.

After a little while she unhooked the cape that was keeping my clothes clean, and brushed my neck off, handing me a mirror she asked what I thought. I was honestly amazed at how much older I looked! I was so happy!

We thanked the stylist and payed before leaving and heading toward the dress store. Walking through the mall a couple of people spotted me they would whisper to their friends something about 'Shane Gray's girlfriend'. It was weird to be recognized but I guess that was something I was going to have to get used to, with me recording and being with Shane. We came to a store called A Fairytale by Liz Maddson who was my favorite designer, she sold everything from cocktail party dresses to wedding gowns, I got my winter formal dress here last year. Now I am a Junior and I plan to shop here for Junior Prom. But I know that she is fairly expensive so I was shocked when my mom lead us into that store.

"Mom are you sure it's pretty pricey in there?" I asked

"Its fine I told you, your dads shop is doing very well now and so is my catering business we have enough to buy you a pretty dress."

A sales woman came over to us and asked for my size and what I was looking for. I explained that I really had no idea what I was looking for I just knew that I needed a fancy dress for a date with my boyfriend.

She led us back to the dressing room and gave us some sparkling water, cheese and crackers. Eventually she came back to us with 8 dresses in her hands.

"Here you go Mitchie I pulled 8 they are all in green or pink like you requested but they are different styles I think you will be able to find one you like in there." The saleswoman Anne said.

"Thank you. I think I will try the floor length ones first since they are going to be hard to get on and off might as well get them out of the way."

The first one I tried on was light green, strapless, and floor length. It was pretty but not something I would want to wear. My mom agreed when she saw me, so we handed the dress back to Anne. I tried on a few more they didn't really do much for me, they were either too big or too little. There was one dress left and I was starting to get a little worried it was now 3 o'clock my date was in three hours and I still didn't have anything to wear. The last dress was cool I wasn't too sure about it though, it wasn't green, it was a silvery color strapless and only came up to my mid-thigh. When I looked in the mirror I knew this was the dress, It was fancy and sophisticated but it really accentuated my curves and made me look very skinny. I showed my mom and the sales lady they both agreed that I had to wear it. Anne brought me some shoes to go with it and a pair of earings. We walked over to the check out and my mom pulled out her wallet the price came too $350.00. I felt so guilty. That's a whole lot of money.

"Mom are you sure?" I asked for the third time

"Yes now be quiet and let me buy you a pretty dress."

We walked out of the store dress in hand I put my hood up so no one would recognize me, I didn't want a picture of my new hair online before I could show Shane. We left the mall without doing anymore shopping my mom wanted too but I insisted we got home as fast as possible, hopefully Caitlyn will be able to make it over to help me get ready. I quickly sent her a text while we were driving home.

Cait come over please!

I began to make a list of things I needed to do in my head: wrap Shane's present, Take shower (with shower cap can't wash hair yet), Apply make-up, Dress, Do Hair, Mentally prepare myself for date. Not too bad if I got started right away I can finish on time. Just as we turned on to my street my phone buzzed a text from Cait.

I'm already here, your dad let Nate and I in your room is totally set I brought all my make-up and curling irons and Nate is wrapping the present! Where are you now.

I swear to God one, that girl is a mind reader and two, she has Nate so whipped.

I texted her back

Whoa can you like read minds? I'm pulling in now be right up.

I ran up the stairs to my room forgetting all about my new hair. I took my hood off in the car so you could clearly see my hair. I opened the door to my room to find Nate on the floor trying to wrap Shane's Guitar case and an Amused looking Caitlyn looking down on him.

"Hey Guys." I said. They both looked up and their jaws dropped.

"Woah your hair looks freaking awesome." Caitlyn said. Nate just smiled.

"Okay well Nate we have a lot to do, go find my boy friend and make sure he is awake you can make-out with Caity after I leave." I said speaking to Nate

"Alright I get it, girl time… speaking of your boyfriend when was the last time you spoke to him?"

"Um like an hour ago he said he was going to take a nap why?"

"Figures he would ignore me but answer you… No offence… but anyway he was doing that interview alone today I just wanted to see how it went I guess I'll go find him back home."

"Okay make sure he is up he must be pretty worn out, promoting your new album and everything."

"yeah he is we all are, well have a break though after its all over. But I'll make sure he is here. Have fun girls, bye Caity I love you." He said then pecked Cait on the lips.

As soon as we were alone I asked Cait "When did Nate Tell you he loved you like how long had you been together."

"It was only a few weeks ago actually. Why?"

"I think I really love Shane, should I wait for him to tell me or should I tell him first?" I asked

"Were you thinking about telling him tonight?"

"Well yea I was but I'm really not sure should I wait for him to tell me first."

"You wanna know what I think?" she asked and I nodded my head. "I have seen you two together and you two are actually meant to be, it was destiny that you found each other I would not be surprised if you two ended up getting married one day. I know he loves you but I think he is afraid to tell you the same way you are afraid to tell him. So the plan is if he doesn't tell you by the end of tonight, when he walks you up to the door or before he leaves you have to tell him. Okay?"

I took a second to take it all in did people really think of us that way? That we were meant to be? And would I have the courage to tell him that I loved him? I guess I really have no other choice if I don't tell him soon I might explode.

"Okay I guess that will work. I'm nervous but I need to say it. But right now I gotta get ready so I'm not late."

"Okay quick go shower!"

I glanced at the clock 4:45 great I'm running out of time. I took a quick 15 minute shower, not washing my hair but shaving my legs washing face, and letting the warm water relax me. When I got out of the shower I put some sweats and a t-shirt on so Cait could do my make-up without ruining my dress. I closed my eyes and let Cait do all the work; she had a natural talent for make-up and hair. A few minutes later my phone buzzed with a text from Shane.

I'm leaving the apartment now I'll be at your house in about 45 minutes see you soon xo

I quickly typed a rely

Okay I'll be ready oxox

Oh God 45 minutes. Why am I

so nervous I have been on a ton of dates with him already what makes tonight so different?

"Cait are you almost done? Shane is on his way now." I asked

"Yeah I just finished take a look really fast make sure you like it." I nodded and look at myself in the mirror, Cait really does do a good job my eyes were the focus they had dark eye liner and silvery eye shadow that matched my dress my lips were a very pale pink with shimmery lip gloss on top. My hair was simple just loose waves but It looked very fancy. I definitely looked older with my new hair.

"Wow Cait, it looks awesome thank you! I really love it!"

"Good now go get dressed!" She said smiling. "I have a necklace to go with you dress."

I walked from the bathroom into my bedroom and picked my dress up off the bed slipping it over my head carefully so I didn't ruin my hair or make-up. I turned around to look in the mirror I actually didn't recognize myself I looked so different with my new hair. I put my earings in and slipped on my silver strappy heels. Just then cait came out of the bathroom with a silver chain necklace in her hands.

"here you go Mitch I think this will look good."

I put the chain around my head and Caitlyn was right it really did look nice.

My Phone buzzed again

Hey baby traffic is light I'm pulling on to your street now if you're not ready its fine I can wait I know I told you 6:15 and its only 5:45 so take your time xo

Oh God he is here! Am I ready?

"Cait he's early and is pulling up now am I ready? Do I look okay?"

"Yes you are ready and you look awesome. Go have fun!"

"Alright thanks for everything. Go find Nate I'm sure he's waiting to make out with you or something."

"Okay call me when you get home I wanna know everything!"

Before I could assure Cait that I would call her my phone rang with Shane's ringtone letting me know that he was calling me

"Hello?" I said

"Hi babe, I'm here are you ready should I come wait inside or do you want me to drive around the block for a few minutes?" he asked

"No its fine come in I'm ready I think my mom and dad want to say hi to you anyway."

"Okay I'm coming up to your door now." With that he hung up. I looked out my window and saw him walking to my door. God he looked so hot. He was dressed in one of his fancy Gucci Suits that he saved for special occasions, wherever we are going must be really nice.

The door bell rang interrupting my thoughts, I heard my mom answer it and greet Shane. I took one more glance in the mirror, waved to Cait and left the room. I started my walk down the stairs Shane looked up as soon as I came into view and our eyes locked a smile filled my face as one did his. "Your hair! It looks awesome, you look beautiful." He said when I made it all the way down the stairs. He grabbed me and pulled me into a hug kissing the top of my head not wanting to do any more with my mom standing right there.

"I really missed you." I mumbled into his chest. I actually haven't seen him in two weeks he was out promoting his album he just got back into town yesterday. My mom took this as her cue to leave yelling "curfew is 12:00" as she left. As soon as I was sure she was gone I leaned up to kiss him, he deepened pulling me closer and licking my lower lip asking for entrance I parted my lips letting our tongues explore each others mouths. We continued like this for a few minutes until my dad interrupted us with a cough. "Alright knock it off."

I couldn't help but laugh Shane's cheeks turned noticeably red as he mumbled an apology.

"Sorry daddy." I said with a giggle.

"Alright you kids better get going don't forget your curfew I'll leave the door open. Nice um seeing you again Shane, take care of my little girl for me."

"You too sir, and I will sir"

"Bye daddy." Shane grabbed my hand and lead us to his limousine classic Shane a limo for only the two of us.

"Shane you really did not need to get us a limo!" I said as he opened the door for me, always the perfect gentleman.

"Hey it's a special occasion I did it for you."

"Alright fine, but I get to give you your present right now."

"Okay but then I get to give you your present, let me just tell the driver where we are going, I think we are a little early do you wanna just drive for a while, I feel like I haven't gotten to just talk with you in a while, I want to tell you something."

"Yeah sure that sound nice just yell up to the driver, you're not going to give me any hints as to where we are going are you?"

"Nope so plug your ears." I did as he asked while he spoke to the driver telling him the address of where we were going. I reached down to grab his present that was on the ground. When he turned back to me I handed it to him, he smiled guessing what it was from the shape of it. It was a black patent leather case with a dark wood handle that I had engraved it read: Happy Anniversary oxox Mitchie.

"Mitch! I love it I really needed a new one it perfect." he said pulling me in for a kiss. We stayed like that for a while until he pulled me in a little closer so I ended up on his lap never breaking the kiss. I don't know how long we stayed like that but eventually he pulled away.

"Now it's my turn." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a little blue box, which could mean only one thing. Tiffany's. "Now before you open this, I want to tell you, I have wanted to say this for the longest time it has almost slipped out so many times I have known this for a while now I wanted to wait for this night to tell you and If you're not ready to say it back than that's fine too I can wait but I felt like I was going to explode if I don't tell you soon. Open it." I did as I was told a little nervous as to what I was going to find. Inside the blue box was a beautiful silver chain link bracelet attached to it was a heart charm, engraved with the words I love you. "Mitchie I love you." Happy tears filled my eyes.

"I love you too." I said smiling like an idiot. He mirrored my smile and leaned in to kiss me.

We stayed wrapped up in each other's arms kissing and cuddling until we arrived at our destination. I still had no idea where we were and Shane wouldn't give me any clues. Naturally there were at least fifty paparazzi waiting for us to get out of the car, Shane got out first then helped me climb out. Before I could catch a glimpse of our surroundings he covered my eyes with his hands.

"No peeking." He whispered in my ears. He guided me through throng of paparazzi who were shouting crazy questions at us like:

Mitchie are you really carrying Shane's baby?

Shane is it true that you have been cheating on Mitchie

Mitchie are only using Shane for fame

One particularly nice man asked politely:

Shane how is your relationship with Mitchie?

Mitchie is Shane the perfect guy?

I guess Shane heard him first and decided to answer.

"Mitchie and I are wonderful, I love her very much we are celebrating our sixth month anniversary tonight." Shane said with complete sincerity. Even though I couldn't see I could tell in his voice how much he loved to say that. Mitchie is Shane the perfect guy. I was asked again.

"Yes he is, he is the perfect gentleman, sweet, kind, and caring, I love him. Although he does like to spoil me and surprise me with nights like tonight." I said laughing a little at the end.

Again Shane whispered in my ear. "Okay baby were here I really hope you like your surprise but it wasn't all me you can thank your record company too."

"Okay so can I see now?" I asked anxiously.

Suddenly my eyes were uncovered, there were hundreds of flashes and people screaming my name a red carpet stretched out in front of me. "Shane what is this?" I asked

"Welcome to your album release party!" My mouth dropped open in shock, no one had told me anything about my album being released any time soon, they all told me that it would be a while before it could be released.

"Shane! How did you do this?" I asked

"Well I was talking to your manager a few weeks ago and they said that they wanted to release the album in early March, so I asked if they could do it on March 2 and keep it a surprise, evidently they agreed."

"Thank you so much Shane this is incredible, I love you."

"Your very welcome, and I love you too, come on lets walk the pink carpet."

We walked down the carpet posing for photos and signing things for fans, there were actually a lot of famous there. I wasn't to surprised though I had created a huge fanbase when This Is Me was released as a single four months ago. I saw a few celebrity friends of Shane's, I knew them from parties and award shows that I had gone to. We eventually made it in to the hotel where the party was being held. There was a huge ballroom filled with people, it had a dance floor a bar I saw workers walking around with trays of food. This must have costed a fortune. "Shane Adam Gray you better not have payed for this whole thing!"

"Oh but I did, your record company wanted to help but really not be cocky but I have more money than I know what to do with, so I figured why not give the girl I love an amazing album release party."

"Well I have more lip-gloss than I know what to do with so I figure why not give the guy I love an amazing sixth month anniversary/thank you kiss."

"I think the guys you love would enjoy that very much, but um just saying your mom and dad might be here somewhere."

"Come here." I said pulling him in for a long sweet romantic kiss.

The rest of the night was amazing Caitlyn Nate and Jason came with my Parents not long after we showed up. Caitlyn and I danced for hours sometimes shane would join me on the Dance floor too. Then at 10:30 it was time for the album to be "dropped". I went to the DJ station with Shane and he helped me put the CD in, I pressed play and First song 'Here We Go Again.' Began to blare through the speakers. I looked up and kissed Shane, this was all happening because of him. I was so happy my album was going to start to sell at midnight at stores across the nation. After playing my CD once the DJ began to wrap things up, it was around 11:30 when my parents told me it was time to go. Shane walked me out to my car we kissed gently on the lips before waving goodbye, tomorrow he was off to L.A to do some more album promoting I wasn't going to see him for another week. It was really hard having a rock star boy friend but it really was worth it in the end."I love you. Call me when you land please." I whispered

"I love you too, and I will."

I got home and basically crashed on my bed I was half asleep when my phone buzzed.

100 thousand copies sold already! Good night. Xo I love you3

A huge smile filled my face I had to fight back a scream it was only 12:30 and so

many had sold already. I quickly texted back a reply

This is all because of you, you make my dreams come true. Good Night, oxox I love you.

Then I fell into a dreamless sleep, there was really no point in dreaming any more my dreams were coming true.

Oh I really hope you liked this is my longest story 18 pages! Let me know if I should continue Mitchies Dress and Bracelet links are in my profile
