Life's Good
A/N: this is my first fanfic so please tell me what you think! hope you enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Camp Rock, or any of the characters, not Mitchie, not Connect 3, I don't even know the Jonas Brothers. Yeah, I know, is a sad world.
God, I can't believe Camp Rock is over!
It's been-without a doubt-the best summer of my life. Even now that Final Jam is just over and I have to go pack I'm absurdly happy. Nothing could be better. Though I'm a little alarmed about how happy it makes me that Shane has finally forgiven me. It just doesn't make sense; the moment I heard his voice, saw him standing there singing... really, I could have dropped dead.
I was on my way to my cabin to go pack, and then I would meet Shane at the lake for our canoe ride. As soon as I remembered this I found myself running. What's wrong with me? It's not like I like I'm in love or anything. Right?
"Mitchie!"
I turned around to see who it was and found Ella with her bags and everything.
"Hey Ella, you're leaving already?"
"Yeah, my mom has to go back home."
"Oh," It was really sad to have to say goodbye.
"Listen, I just wanted to say goodbye and I'll see you next summer, right?"
"Of course! Take care Ella, and stay in touch, okay?"
"Yeah, I will. You take care too Mitch and have a good year."
We hugged and then she started digging in her purse until she found a little paper.
"I was given this for you." she said as she handed me the paper.
"Who's it from?"
"The voice in your head." And with that she left waving.
Shane. I opened the paper in a hurry to see what he wanted.
'If you get this note it means I'm already waiting for you. Haven't anyone told you that you shouldn't make celebrities wait? Hurry up! Let's see if we can get this canoe thing right this time.
Rockstar'
After reading the note I didn't stop to decide if I should pack first, I was already halfway to the lake. When I finally reached it the sun was setting on the horizon.
"Hey," I heard his voice and a smile instantly appeared on my face.
"Hi." He was sitting inside a canoe putting his lifeguard on.
"Wow, you really know how to keep a person waiting"
"Hey! I am not that late!" How could I be? I was dying to see him.
"I know, I know, Im just kidding," He said laughing, "It's just that we've got so little time left..." He looked down, his smile dissapearing from his face.
"You're leaving today?" My voice gave the impression that I was about to cry.
"No, tomorrow morning with the guys. What about you?"
"I was leaving today but my mom has a lot to do at the kitchen, so we're leaving tomorrow, too."
"Good." He smiled a little, " Then we've got the whole night."
The thought seemed to comfort us a great deal, and I smiled at him.
"So, lets give this canoe thing another try." I said, trying to put my lifeguard, but somehow I got it all wrong and Shane started laughing.
"Here, let me help." He reached towards me and started buckling me up. He was so close, his hands adjusting a strap at my waist. Suddenly I couldn't breathe.
"There," he said in a low voice as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
"T...Thanks" I said in an even lower voice.
He was still carressing my hair, getting closer-or was I?-well, whatever, the point is I wanted him to be closer...
The camp's lights suddenly turned on, making us both jump apart. Huh, I haven't even realized it was already dark.
An awkward silence, a really awkward silence, a really, really, awkward...
"So, we'll do this or what?" I was so happy Shane broke it.
"Sure, bring it on, Rockstar."
We were both laughing as we pushed the canoe into the lake and got on it.
"So, what's on the agenda for Connect 3 this year?"
"Um, we'll probably be touring and working on our next album, now that I've finally found myself again..."
"That's great,"
"Thanks a lot for that, Mtichie,"
"What? I did nothing."
"Of course you did," He was looking so intensely into my eyes, I couldn't have looked away even if I would have wanted to. "Before I came here, before I met you, I was so lost, I forgot what doing my music was all about, I forgot I did it because I liked it, not because I thought it'd sell, I forgot about being thankfull to all the persons that support me, that without them I would be nothing. But then I met this wonderful girl, and she taught me so much, she reminded me of all of this and so much more, but most important of all-what's changed me the most-she reminded me how good it felt to have someone to rely on. She reminded me of what love felt like."
He finished in what was barely a whisper, while I got a heartattack.
"Shane, I,"
"I don't need you to feel the same way, I don't want you to feel like you've got a compromise or something, Mitchie, I just want you to know all the amazing things that you've done to me."
"You've helped me a lot, too, Shane."
"No, I haven't, I let you down when you most needed a friend, and I wanted..."
"Let me talk," I had to tell him everything I was feeling inside, or I would just explode. "You don't know what it felt like to come to a place where every person I saw made me wonder what on Earth was I doing here, to feel so out of place, so not me... and then to find the last person I ever thought I would get along with, and to find that he is the one person I can be myself with, the one person I didn't need to lie to, the one person I didn't want to lie to. Shane, I just want you to know I never really lied to you, I never intended to, you heard all that stuff about my mom somewhere else, and I couldn't tell you it was a lie. How could I if that made you feel closer to me? And then I lost you. You've got no idea of what that felt like, to loose the one person I never thought I'd loose, beacuase I never thought I'd have him. You silently taught me that at the end it didn't matter how far you've gone if you've gone there with lies. You taught me to fight for what I believed in, for what I wanted, so thanks for that Shane," I was loosing my nerve, I had to tell him now. "And you didn't remind me of what love felt like,"
"Oh, um...that's fine...really, you don't have..." He looked down and I took his hand to make him look at me again.
"You didn't remind me of what love felt like," I repeated "you taught me what love feels like."
"What? Mitchie you don't have to,"
"Shane, I mean it. I love you."
He took my other hand in his and smiled.
"I love you too."
And then he leaned closer and kissed me, so softly, so warmly.
I was wrong before. Now nothing could be better.
A/N:Okay so I couldn't decide if I should make this a oneshot or not so please tell me what you think about it and I'll decide from there. Thanks for reading. REVIEW!
