DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN ANYTHING…

It's summer again. It's Camp Rock again. Everything is like a rewind of last year. Mitchie is there. Shane is there. Caitlyn is there. Jason is there. Final Jam is like the same. I performed again. I almost fall on stage again. I'm in this side of this lake again. I'm crying again. Everything is just the same except for one thing. Nate isn't in my side. Nate isn't here to comfort me. Nate isn't here to tell me that everything will be OK. Nate isn't here to tell me he cares. Nate isn't here to tell me he loves me. Nate is there enjoying the After Jam party.

Maybe, if I do what I'm supposed to do last year, everything will be all right. Everything won't be the same.

*************

This is not what I want to happen. I'm supposed to be the best tonight. I'm not supposed to be crying. I'm not supposed to be here alone. I don't deserve this!

I'm hopeless. I made a fool of my self on stage. I made my friends hate me. I proved to my Mom that I'm not worthy of her attention. I'm a loser.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed and stopped crying.

I looked on the clear water. The full moon gave light everywhere. I stared at the reflection of my tear-stained face.

"You look pathetic. Nobody cares for you. Nobody loves you," I started crying again. I wonder where all this tears came from. I think I cried every mL of water inside my body.

I looked around. There was nothing except for trees and flying wasp. If I do it now, nobody will know.

I stood up. I stared at the sky. And let my body fell on the water. I went deeper and deeper on the lake. I was having a difficulty in breathing but I refused to go back to the surface. I was starting to lose consciousness. Then, someone grabbed me upward. He pushed me to the surface. We're already on the bay and I was coughing so hard.

"Are you trying to kill your self?" he yelled. He was sitting beside me. I was really coughing so hard. I looked at him. It was Nate. Nate Black of Connect 3.

"Yes!" I yelled back as soon as I stopped coughing. "And why did you stop me?" I was looking at him straight to his eyes. He was surprised by my answer.

"Why?" he asked. He seemed concern.

"Why do you care?" I said, standing. He stood too. "Why are you here? You should be there not here. You should not be talking to me. You should be hating me like everyone else." I was staring at the water. I could see my reflection and Nate's. He was staring at me.

"Why would I hate you?" he half smiled. I sat again and swayed my feet on the water. It was summer night but cold wind was blowing. It made me shiver under my wet clothes. "Why did you do that?" he asked as he sat beside me.

"Why will I tell you?" I asked him back.

"Because I want to know," he said convincingly.

"You really want to know?" I looked at him, an eyebrow raised. What can I do? Maybe, talking to someone will make me feel better. I looked at the sky. "Because I'm pathetic," I started. "Because I'm a shame. Because I'm so mean," tears started rolling on my face. I looked down. "And everybody hates me. Because I don't have a friend. Because my Mom will surely get mad… at… me…" I was really crying so hard and I was shaking. "Because… nobody… cares… for… me… Because… nobody… loves… me… Because… I… I… have nothing… Because…" I stopped when Nate cupped my head in his hands and pulled me towards him. He kissed me tenderly. And before I knew it, I was kissing him back.

"Don't say nobody cares for you coz I'm not a nobody," he said smiling then kissed me in the forehead. "And Tess Tyler, I love you. When you feel that you have nothing, think of me. I'm yours to keep."

The wind and my wet clothes made me shiver but I felt warm inside.

************

I smirk to my self. Why am I so stupid to believe his words? Why did I believe that he cares? I started crying again. I took off my shoes, sat on the side of the lake and swayed my feet on the water. Like before except that Nate was not here.

Where is he? He was there, enjoying Caitlyn's company. He said he cares for me but he ignored me through out this camp.

************

"Can I talk to you?" I asked him before the Final Jam.

"Oh, hi Tess. I'm a little bit busy for the Final Jam," he said it again. It was always his reason every time I tried to talk to him. He left me alone. He left me like everyone else.

On my performance on Final Jam, I kept staring at him. He was ignoring me completely. And that was why I almost fall off the stage for the second time around. I rushed out of the stage and ran to the lake, like before.

***********

I look at the clear water. The moon is giving light all around. I stare a t my tear-stained face. I look around and there's nothing except for trees and flying wasp. I stand up and stare at the sky. I let my self drop in the water. I sink deeper and deeper. Just like before except that he's not here to save me. Now, I won't be left alone anymore. Not ever. And everything goes dark-------------
