Mitchie couldn't believe that another year at Camp Rock had come to an end. She felt as if it had flown by in the blink of an eye. Looking back, the one regret she had was not spending more time with Shane and her friends. She had become so wrapped up in the competition with Camp Star that she forgotten to enjoy her summer and time with her friends. Watching the video that the junior rockers had made was a little bittersweet because while she was happy that they had kept the camp open for them, she was disappointed that she had missed out on all of the activities that were on there.

The other campers might have been disappointed about not winning Final Jam and at the beginning so was she but they had all put their hearts and souls into that performance and she believed that that shone through. She also realized that not only were the odds stacked against them with all the money that Camp Star had but it was probably rigged too. When so many campers from Camp Star said that they wanted to switch to Camp Rock for next summer she remember smiling at Shane and thinking that all of their efforts to help Brown had paid off.

She was the last one to get to the mess hall for breakfast and slid into the spot beside Shane after grabbing some eggs. She said good morning and took the time to study the faces around the table. Sitting to her left, Shane looked disgruntled to be up so early and was downing his coffee with relish. On her right, Caitlyn had her nose in a new dance manual that a kid from Camp Star had given her last night. Jason, sitting across the table, was craning his neck to look outside the window because a bird was perched on the window sill. Nate, sitting next to him was texting someone furiously and had a goofy expression on his face, so she assumed it was Dana. Peggy and Ella, she noticed, were sitting with Barron and Sander at a different table listening to the boys rap.

"Ok how come this is the last day of camp and we're the only silent table? Are we so sick of each other that you can't wait to get rid each other?" Mitchie said playfully and that broke everyone out of their solitary pursuits.

"Oh no Mitchie that's not it at all, it's just that someone kept me up all night talking to their girlfriend on the phone. I'm just a little sleep deprived." Shane exclaimed, with a death glare at Nate. He then kissed the side of Mitchie's head and wrapped his arm around her.

"Really Nate? So you and Dana are hitting it off then?" Mitchie said in an excited voice.

"Yeah we are. We are an official couple as of last night at the camp fire. I asked her and she said yes." Nate said with a smile and faint blush on his face.

"You're an official couple? But what about her dad?" Caitlyn had asked a very perceptive question. Nate's face clouded and he scowled at Caitlyn.

Getting up from the table he said "I don't know why you have to go ruining how happy I am right now but we've decided to keep things between us for right now. So why don't you just mind your own business?" With that he left and slammed the door of the mess hall. Caitlyn just sat there perfectly still for a few seconds and then tears formed in her eyes. She quickly exited the same way Nate had before Mitchie could grab her.

Shane, Mitchie, and Jason just looked at each other in pure shock for another minute and then Shane broke it.

"Mitchie, you need to go find Caitlyn and make sure she is alright because she looked pretty bad. Jason and I will go find our brother and get him to go apologize."

"Thanks, Shane. You really are pretty amazing, you know that right?" Mitchie said as they stood.

"Hey, what about me?" Jason said.

"You're pretty amazing too, Jason." Mitchie told him with a smile and ran out to find Caitlyn.

The first place she looked was their cabin but that was a bust so she tried the dock and found Caitlyn looking out at the water.

Thankfully she had stopped crying but not knowing what to do Mitchie just wrapped her arms around her from behind and Caitlyn sighed.

"Are you ok Caitlyn?" Mitchie almost whispered.

"Yes and no. Yes, because I know I didn't do anything wrong and he was just being a jerk. But then no because I thought we were friends and I just asked him a question as a concerned friend you know? I don't know why he'd be such a jerk about it. Anyway, it's pointless because it's obvious we were never really friends." With that she broke away from Mitchie and started to walk towards the cabins.

Then, remembering something she turned around again and said "We need to finish packing Mitchie. We're leaving in like 3 hours."

Mitchie ran after her, her head buzzing with how she could refute Caitlyn's last statement and hoping that somehow Nate could fix this before they left.

Shane banged the door to their cabin open and Jason followed closely behind him to find Nate on his bunk with his guitar playing "Introducing Me" with a morose expression on his face.

"Are you out of your mind, man? Caitlyn was just asking you a question Nate. She was being a friend and you jumped down her throat." Shane exploded.

"You should have seen her face." Jason added softly.

Nate absorbed the information that his older brothers were telling him without raising his head and without any outward display of emotion. On the inside, though, he felt horrible. He really liked Caitlyn. They had become friends this summer and he knew that she had asked her question out of concern but it had hit a raw nerve and he had taken it out on her.

Last night when he had asked Dana to be his girlfriend Dana had immediately said yes but when he had brought up her father her smile had faltered. She had no problem standing up to him as long as Camp Star was beating Camp Rock but now her father was on a rampage and could not stand the mere mention of anything to do with the camp. So it was decided that their relationship would be conducted in secret until he cooled down and found something else to obsess about. He had told Dana that he had no problem with keeping it a secret for now but in truth it hurt and that's why he had snapped at Caitlyn today.

"What can I say? That my girlfriend doesn't want to tell her father about me? That that fact hurts? That Caitlyn's question made me think about that instead of how happy I am to be going out with the girl I've been pining after for all summer?" Nate's voice had progressively gotten louder during his rant and he was pacing the length of the cabin.

Shane and Jason were gaping at him wondering if Nate had been possessed by aliens or something because no way did Nate ever display this much emotion in such a short span of time.

"Well are you two morons going to catch flies with your mouths or are you going to give me some advice?" Nate exclaimed

"First of all, go apologize to Caitlyn and explain the situation as you explained it to us but maybe in a softer tone. Then secondly, I suggest you tell Dana that you mind that her Dad doesn't know that you two are dating." Shane said from where he was reclining on his bunk.

"I can't tell her that Shane. Yeah, I'm opening up and telling her my feelings but what if that's the deal breaker and she breaks up with me over it? I'd be devastated." Nate said. "I just got her to agree to go out with me."

"Well, take it from me these things have a tendency to build up until they come out anyway so you might as well just tell her now when it's a small issue. Later it might develop into a big one Nate." Shane advised him.

Surprisingly Jason chipped in "You can't always walk on eggshells around her." Shane was nodding his head while looking a little shocked that Jason could be so perceptive.

Ten minutes later Nate nervously knocked on the girl's cabin door and called out Caitlyn's name. He really wanted to apologize before they left and didn't have a chance to see each other again before next summer but he didn't want to do it in front of everyone else and he really didn't want to have to apologize over the phone because that would be way too impersonal.

Mitchie walked out of the cabin and said "She's in there alone. She's really hurt Nate." With that she left him there terrified.

Nate blew out a breath and made his way into the cabin to see Caitlyn putting her things into suitcases. She looked at him and then turned her back on him.

"Listen Caitlyn, I'm really, really sorry about this morning. I can't say enough how sorry I am." Nate exclaimed.

Caitlyn went on folding clothes. "Uh-uh. I'm sure you are. It's really no problem Nate. No need to worry about it."

Nate breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a hug even though she had yet to turn around to look him in the eye. "I can't tell you how happy I am that we're ok. Now I have to go see Dana before we leave. I'll see you later Caitlyn. Don't leave without saying goodbye okay?" And with that he was gone from the cabin.

"Goodbye" Caitlyn whispered with tears in her eyes.
