This Is Real
A/N: I gave Nate and Jason fake last names. Oh, and I didn't mention this in the beginning of the chapter, but Shane flew Mitchie out to L.A. a few weeks before their second summer at Camp Rock. It's mentioned later though.
"Wow Shane, it's gorgeous."
Mitchie Torres stepped in front of her boyfriend's new cobalt blue corvette.
"I know, right. I love this car." he said dramatically.
Mitchie rolled her eyes and walked over to Shane.
"You haven't even seen the best part!" He said excitedly.
He grabbed Mitchie's arm and dragged her over to the back end. He pointed to the liscensce plate with a huge grin. It read: "CNCT THS"
"Connect this?" she said curiously.
"Yeah, it's a huge FU to the people that think that I'm a cookie cutter popstar." he said proudly.
"That's real in your face, baby." Mitchie laughed.
"You suck." he said jokingly. He paused for a minute and looked over at her.
"Wanna go for a ride?" he said, dangling the keys in front of her eyes.
"Why not." Mitchie giggled.
Shane excitedly got into the driver's side of the car as Mitchie got into the passenger side. He put the key in the ignition and revved up the engine. The engine roared loudly. Mitchie glanced over at Shane and giggled softly at her boyfriend, who looked so proud of the car.
"You're gonna miss that car at camp aren't you?" she laughed.
Shane frowned and nodded, faking holding back tears. She smiled widely at him as he cranked up the radio. "Forever" by Chris Brown came pouring out of the speakers loudly.
"I love this song!" Mitchie said.
Shane nodded in approval as he backed out of the large garage.
As they got on the highway Mitchie realized something: Shane drove like a maniac.
"Shane!" she gasped, grabbing the handle above the door as he slammed on brakes at a stop light.
"What! I'm trying here." he exclaimed.
He pulled off at a dramatically slow pace, causing the cars behind him to honk at him.
"Don't be sarcastic." Mitchie said.
Shane laughed and picked up the speed. They got out on an open, rural road.
"God, I love country roads. That's what I miss about Jersey, there's more of them. This is the only one in spitting distance of my house." he laughed, "It's where all the farmer's live."
Mitchie nodded as Shane rolled the windows down.
"Hey, Mitch, watch this." he said with a devious grin on his face.
"Okay." she said nervously.
Shane quickly pushed down on the accelerator causing the car to fly down the open road.
"Shane! Slow down! You're going to get a ticket!"
"Come on, Mitchie, no one drives down here."
"Excuse me, farmers have tractors and trucks, live animals." she said.
"You think you can drive better Miss Learner's Permit." he laughed.
"You so are not funny."
"And you can't drive." he pushed on the accelerator a little bit more again.
Mitchie made a face and continued to watch the road ahead of them as Shane turned the radio down and started talking about how bad of a driver Jason was. Mitchie rolled her eyes.
"He needs to be watching his own driving before critiquing someone else's." she thought.
Shane cut up the radio a little bit as "Seventeen Forever" by Metro Station began playing.
"We won't be seventeen forever," Shane sang, glancing over at Mitchie with a smile.
She smiled back at him and turned her eyes to the road, hoping Shane would get a clue.
He turned back to the wheel and pushed his bangs out of his face. They soon came to a dead end. Shane turned around and began to drive back.
"What do you think?"
"Of the car, your driving, or both?"
"Car."
"Amazing." she grinned, "Just to let you know, you're gonna be sent to one of those driver improvement classes before you're 20, if you live that long."
"Haha, funny." he said.
He continued to drive, talking to Mitchie and occasionally messing with the radio.
They were starting back up the country road, as "Play My Music" started playing loudly in the car and Shane's own voice blared out of the speakers.
Shane made a disgusted face as he played with the stereo, turning the station, realzing the same station was programmed in twice, then turning to another station to hear Peggy's now super hit "Here I Am". He groaned and rolled his eyes as he kept pushing the buttons.
"Shane, watch the road." Mitchie said as she could have sworn she saw a small speck of black coming at them.
"Again, Mitch, no one drives down here."
The small speck of black got bigger and bigger by the second, a stripe of metal going across the front now visible.
"Shane."
"Mitchie, stop." he said.
The car was coming right at them and didn't seem to notice them.
Mitchie squeezed her eyes shut and right as the car came close to them, she grabbed the wheel.
"Mitchie!" he exclaimed before seeing the black car hitting the right headlight and driving past. The blue corvette was spinning out on the road about to go over a ditch.
Mitchie could feel her heart racing as the car was leaning towards it's right. She had seen the driver's ed videos. She knew what was about to happen.
"I love you Shane." she said as she shut her eyes again, grabbed Shane's hand, and waited for the impact.
Five seconds later, Shane's new Corvette was flipped over on it's side. Shane's side.
