Sewing You Back Together Again
Chapter 1 : Old Friends, New Issues
Mitchie fluttered her eyes open, as the sun illuminated through the trees of the woods surrounding her mother's catering truck. She squinted slightly as her eyes caught glimpse of 4 workers struggling to re-nail the 'C' to the the 'Camp Rock' sign. Sitting up slowly, she lifted her hand to capture a silent yawn.
"Hey baby.." Connie, her mother, smiled gently as she placed her hand on top of her head. "I'm glad that you're up. We're here" She stated excitedly, returning her hand to the wheel. "you'll get to see Caytlin.."
Mitchie's facial expression was blank, her nose flared lightly at the mention of her old best friends name. Mitchie lifted a hand, and brushed a few curls behind her ear. Her once black hair, was once again brown. "Uh, mom. I'm not sure i'm ready for this.." Mitchie swallowed hard. "I mean, what if Rebecca is there?" she questioned, referring the girl in her dance class who she'd punched last summer. Before the accident.
"She will be baby, her father is helping Brown this summer." Connie said turning the car into the parking lot. Mitchie let her mouth drop open before she shut it and slouched in her seat. "I talked to Brown though and he said, that Rebecca told her father she forgave you a long time ago. She understood the-"
"circumstances. I know. Just because she forgives me doesn't mean I forgive myself. This is really embarrassing." Mitchie stated before sinking below the window so nobody could see she was in the truck.
"Oh Mitchie stop baby, you have done so good for yourself! You took the responsibility to get better and you have. Everyone has been so proud of you from what I heard." Connie tried but Mitchie stayed put peeking out the window. Suddenly a little boy ran by and banged his drum sticks on the window. Mitchie yelped, and clutched her chest. The little kids laughed outside, and Connie smiled gently. "Come on hun."
Mitchie looked at her mom, then out the window once more, before slowly opening the door and stepping out. The leaves from the trees crunched beneath her feet. Her hand clutched the door handle as she looked around at all the kids, teens, and consuelors running around like mad men, welcoming others.
To her benefit Rebecca and none of her friends were in sight. At this, she sighed a breath of relief and let the car door fully close. Her mom came around carrying a box and Mitchie's bag on her shoulder. "Here, you take this." Her mom smiled. "You're cabin is, Cabin 18, i'll be there after I run to the kitchen" she said
"Wha-" Mitchie began as her mom threw her bag at her and hurried off. "Mom!" she squeaked before looking around and fixing her bag on her shoulder. She breathed slowly before gripping her cross necklace. "Lord, help me be strong.." She spoke quietly before kissing the cross and walking to her cabin.
Cabin 18
Caytlin sat on her bed, her earphones in her ears as she balanced herself on her knees to hang a poster on her wall. She smiled before jumping off her bed and landing in the splits. "Alright, Alrighty the show goes on! Alright! To the morning we dream so long! anybody ever wonder, they wanna see the sun up just remember when we come up, the show goes on!" Caytlin sang to herself quietly, dancing to the beat.
"Caytlin seriously, you should save the dance moves for the final jam" Tess said as she fixated her purple butterfly bracelet on her thin wrist, before grabbing the new issue Pop Informer Magazine and sitting on her bed. Caytlin rolled her eyes, and unplugged her i-pod, wrapping the earphones around the electronic.
"Tess, Shutup." Caytlin laughed before setting the i-pod in her balerina jewelry box. "Final Jam is at the end of Camp for crying out loud. This is the beginning of Camp" Caytlin laughed. "You just can't wait can you?" She questioned. Tess blushed and lifted her magazine to cover her face. Caytlin shook her head.
The cabin door slowly opened and Caytlin turned to face who had entered. Her mouth slowly opened halfway. Tess, aware of the silence lowered her magazine once more, and soon after dropped it. "OMG!"
Mitchie stood in the doorway. Looking much different than she had last summer. Her hair was back straight in light brown curls. Her face had once again gotten color, not dark tan, but just a normal skin hue. She wore a caramel shoulder top, with a black wing long chain around her neck. Her legs were tucked in tight black jeans that showed off the meat she had gained on her once fragile thin frame. Her feet were tucked in tan flats with buckles on the toe. Her bright yellow and green bag didn't go well at all with the outfit, but that didn't matter. Other than the accessories she looked great, and much healthier.
"hi..." Mitchie said hesitantly, letting her bag slide off her shoulder, causing a loud thump on the wood. "I didn't know you guy's were my bunks until just now.." she swallowed. "I can ask Brown to bunk with-"
"It's really you!" Tess squealed and ran over to hug Mitchie. Mitchie was suprised, but slowly lifted her arms to hug Tess back. "You are my hero! I'm so proud of you, and Brown told us you weren't coming back this summer because of some health stuff, but it's not true... Cause you're here!" Tess squealed.
"You're supposed to be in rehab.." Caytlin said slowly.
Tess backed away as Mitchie let her gaze fall on Caytlin. "Uh..Well you know, they cleared me. I'm all better now..." Mitchie nodded as Caytlin eyed her. "I wasn't supposed to be back here though. But my-"
"your mom told you that Rebecca took back the restraining order...Yeah word travels" Caytlin bit her lip.
"Caytlin i'm so sorry for last summer.. If I hurt you in any way.. I was just going through a lot of stuff.." Mitchie said looking to Tess and Caytlin. "That I should have never taken out on any of you.." She sighed.
Caytlin paused before she let a small smile creep on her face. "...well, I mean I guess I have to forgive you. After all, you were my partner in crime" Caytlin sniffled back the forming tears as she pulled Mitchie in to a hug. Mitchie closed her eyes as tears formed in her eyes. She held Caytlin in her arms rather long.
"I really don't want to cut short this moment but Town Hall Meeting bell just rang. we better.." Tess said.
"Go, right!" Caytlin said wiping under her eyes. "How's my makeup?" She questioned Mitchie and Tess who both gave her a thumbs up. She smiled. "Good. Let's go" She turned with Tess to exit before she stopped. She turned to see Mitchie standing back, looking down. "Mitchie," She questioned. "You comin'?"
Mitchie slowly shook her head. "I'm not ready to see everybody yet..." She smiled before it slowly faded.
Tess smiled. "Mitchie, everyone missed you like crazy...Ella, Peggy, Sander, Nate, and Jason!" she giggled.
"Even Rebecca!" Caytlin laughed "Ya know, after the bruise faded and every time she looked in the mirror she wasn't reminded of you decking her in the left eye!" Caytlin said as the laughter akwardly faded.
"...Shane?" Mitchie questioned and Caytlin and Tess's smile faded. Mitchie slowly nodded before she shrugged. "Well, you can't please everyone I guess..." She sighed.
"He tried...he really tried Mitch, he just... he felt like the girl he knew was gone.." Caytlin stated sadly.
"Is he here?" Mitchie questioned.
"Uh, not yet.. him and the boys are on their way. They don't know you're here." Tess said fiddling with her thumbs. Mitchie nodded.
"Well I guess I should go see everyone before they get here.." Mitchie finally let herself go. Caytlin and Tess smiled at each other before all three girls linked arms, and exited the cabin.
With Connect 3
"Ashley, I know.." Shane laughed into the phone. "I'm gonna miss you too babe. But hey, are you gonna come and visit the camp? I know some mini actresses that Idolize you.." He stated with a small smile. Nate and Jason rolled their eyes. They liked Ashley. They just missed Mitchie. She would always be their number one girl. No matter who came to try and fill her spot in Shane's heart in the future. "Love ya too."
Shane smiled as he closed his phone. "Good news! Ashley is coming to visit the camp in three weeks!"
"Great" Jason said fakely. Nate plastered a fake smile as well in agreement with his eldest brother.
"I know right!" Shane smiled. "I bet you guys are excited to see your ladies too." Shane wiggled his eye brows. "am I correct? Caytlin.. and Ella?"
Nate glared. "Are you forgetting me and Caytlin broke up three months ago?" He asked. Shane frowned.
"Oh dude, you're right. I'm so sorry it just slipped my mind." He said genuinley sorry towards his brother.
"It's fine. Just try not to let it slip your mind in front of her." Nate said before glancing out the tinted limo windows. "Alright...Guys we're here-" Nate's words faded. "Oh my god.." He said before opening the car door, while the car still continued to move. His brothers yelled after him, as the limo screeched to a stop.
"MITCHIE!" Nate yelled at the top of his lungs, a smile on his face. The girl turned around, and before she could get a glance at who had called her Nate had slammed into her, Causing her to stumble. "It's you" He breathed as he held her in his arms. Mitchie gasped before slowly hugging him back. "you're here!"
"Hey Natey.." Mitchie smiled weakly, even though she was more than happy to see him, she knew that he wasn't alone, and she was scared to face one member of his group. "How have you been curly fries?"
Nate pulled away and smiled. "Curly fries... you remembered." He laughed before nodding out of breath. "I've been good, how the hell are you!" Nate looked her up and down. "God you look stunning..." He smiled.
Mitchie looked down at her close and laughed, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Thanks... I'm... Alive" Mitchie nodded. "If that makes any sense." She smiled. "just glad to be back and with you guys"
"I square that!" He said before shrugging. "I've been practicing my math. I have an exam next week."
"During the summer?" Mitchie winced. "home school sucks."
"Tell me about it. Since we tour during the summer time now and then, we have homeschool during it" He agreed, with another smile.
"Well shit me a bird house! Torres!" Jason said walking up and pulling Mitchie into his arms. He lifted her in the air and spun her around gently. "You're back." Jason hurriedly put her down. "Did you bring me a bird house..?"
Mitchie pouted. "No. I didn't have the supplies in rehab, but we can make one together sometime this summer maybe?" Mitchie urged hopefully.
"How could I say no!" Jason smiled brightly. "What made you come back?"
"The rehab center cleared me.. I'm all better now" Mitchie smiled stuffing her hands in her pockets.
"Well remind me to send them a huge thank you card" Jason squeezed her arm with a smile before he glanced behind her. His smile slowly faded as he let his arm drop. "Umm.."
"...Mitch?" a voice said quietly.
Mitchie didn't have to turn around to see who it was. The look on everyone's faces painted the portrait loud and clear. She turned around on her heel to see Shane standing tall. His hair was shorter, and spikier. He had grown light facial hair. He wore a grey t-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. His legs were tucked in dark blue jeans, his feet in black converse. His chocolate brown eyes were full of emotions
"h-hi shane.." Mitchie said slowly, her heart beating fast in her chest.
