"Come on, Mitchie. Time for school," Mrs. Torres said as she knocked on her daughter's door.
Mitchie Torres groaned and rolled over. "Don't make me go," she grumbled.
Mrs. Torres opened the door and walked into the room. "Ok, what's wrong?" she asked as she sat on the edge of Mitchie's bed.
Mitchie pushed the covers off of her and looked at her mom. "The attention is annoying me," she mumbled.
"I thought you wanted to be popular," Mrs. Torres stated.
"Yeah, with actual friends. Not people who pretend to be my friends. Now I know how Shane feels," Mitchie explained.
"You should've known going into this that attention would come with it."
"I wasn't really thinking about that. All I was paying attention to was how I felt."
"I know that, sweetie. But I'm afraid you're not missing school for it."
Mitchie groaned dramatically. "Not fair," she complained.
Camp Rock
"Shane! Put down the phone!"
Nate snatched the phone out of Shane Gray's hands and turned it off.
"Hey!" Shane exclaimed.
"Hello! We need to rehearse! We have a show tonight!"
Shane tried to grab the phone but Nate pulled it away.
"Can't you go two seconds without texting Mitchie?" he asked.
"We're coming to 30 seconds now," Shane stated.
Nate rolled his eyes.
"Nate, why can't he just call her?" Jason piped up.
"Because we need to rehearse!" Nate screamed.
Shane's phone rang and he nearly tackled Nate for it. Ok, he did tackle Nate.
"Shit! Dude, get off me!" Nate cried.
Shane ignored him and answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, Shane."
Shane's smile turned into a frown. "Oh. Hey, Uncle Brown. What's up?"
"You were expecting that girl of yours, weren't you?" Brown asked.
Shane sighed. "I'm not enjoying this. I haven't seen her at all since camp," he explained.
"I know it's hard, kiddo. But just think. Wherever she is, she's thinking of you."
Shane smiled. "Thanks, Uncle Brown."
"Anytime. Now, get off Nate," Brown ordered.
"How'd you know I was on Nate?" Shane asked.
"I can hear him," Brown replied.
Shane looked down at Nate. "Right."
"Bye, Shane."
"Bye, Uncle Brown."
Shane hung up and got off of Nate. He helped him to his feet.
"Dude, you're insane!" Nate yelled.
Shane shrugged. "Maybe I am," he replied.
Nate rolled his eyes. "Can we just rehearse? Please?" he begged.
Shane looked down at his phone then at his friends. He set his phone down on a stool. "Let's go," he said.
Nate and Jason smiled as Shane took his place at the microphone and rehearsals began.
Camp Rock
"Mitchie…Mitchie…Mitchie!"
"Huh?" Mitchie snapped out of her dreams and looked at her best friend, Sierra.
"Please stop daydreaming about Shane," Sierra begged.
Mitchie smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."
"So, how is he?" Sierra asked.
Mitchie sighed. "He's fine. I just really, really miss him," she admitted.
"That's understandable. You're dating the dude and you haven't seen him in months. Of course you're gonna miss him. But can you do that at home please?" Sierra questioned.
Mitchie giggled.
Miss Popular, Ashley Marie Roder, approached Mitchie and Sierra, her little 'mini Ashleys' right behind her.
"So, Mitchie, how's Shane?" Ashley asked in fake sweetness.
Mitchie looked up at her, surprised she even knew her name. "Uh…he's fine," she replied.
Mitchie knew Ashley had always through Shane was the most gorgeous creature to ever walk the planet and she always said she'd marry him one day. And she figured since her dad's best friend was president of Hot Tunes Records, where the boys were signed, her fantasy would easily come true.
However, the one summer she was set to meet them, Shane was at Camp Rock, falling head over heels in love with an entirely different girl. A girl Ashley could never stand.
So, naturally, when Shane announced to the world that him and Mitchie were dating, Ashley sure wasn't happy. She set out to break the pair apart. She just didn't know how.
"Have you spoken to him lately?" Ashley questioned.
"Um…yeah. Last night. Why so interested?" Mitchie asked.
Ashley shrugged. "No reason." She then noticed the ring on Mitchie's finger. "Oh, nice ring. It looks a lot like Shane's," she pointed out.
Mitchie looked at her finger and her eyes widened. 'Shit!'
"That's cause it is," Mitchie replied.
Normally, she took off the ring when she went to school, not wanting everyone to know how serious the two really were. However, considering she'd been in such a pissy mood that morning, she forgot.
"Oh. He gave you his ring?" Ashley sounded quite confused.
"Yeah, uh…at the end of camp. As a promise that we'd be able to stay together," Mitchie explained
"You two have promise rings!?" Now she sounded shocked. And angry. And she said that so loud, the whole cafeteria heard.
"Yeah, we do," Mitchie replied quietly.
Ashley sighed exasperatedly. "Well then," she began, "I guess you two are pretty serious then."
"Ok, why are you all up in my business?" Mitchie demanded, standing up and facing Ashley.
"Who isn't interested in you and Shane Gray?" Ashley shot back.
"You know what, Ashley, back off! Ok, I've got enough crap to deal with! I never get to see my boyfriend because he's on tour, no one leaves me alone, and bitches like you keep butting into my relationship because you think he's the hottest thing ever! Well, last I checked, you didn't actually know him! Not like me! That's why he loves me! Because I love him! Not Shane Gray, the rock star!"
Ashley glared at her. "Shane will be mine. Trust me," she hissed.
"Good luck with that," Mitchie snapped back.
Ashley stormed off, her friends following.
Mitchie looked around and found everyone staring at her. Now she really needed Shane.
She ran out of the cafeteria and down the hall to the girl's bathroom. She pulled her cell out and quickly dialed Shane's number, praying he'd pick up.
Camp Rock
The members of Connect 3 were finally taking a break. As he was sipping his water, Shane heard his phone go off. He pulled it from his pocket and checked the caller ID. His heart leapt and his stomach kept doing flips. He shoved the water bottle into Nate's hands and rushed off to answer.
Jason and Nate exchanged glances. "Mitchie," they said together.
Once Shane was away from his friends, he answered. "Hey, baby," he greeted.
"Shane, I hate my life," Mitchie grumbled.
Shane couldn't help but smile. Every time she started a conversation like that, she always told him a story about someone bugging her about their relationship. Once she finished, Shane would tell her they're dumbass idiots and that she should just forget them. She'd sigh dramatically, he'd say I love you, she'd melt and return it, and then they'd talk for hours.
"Now what happened?" he asked.
"Ok, well, Ashley started asking me about you and before long, she noticed my promise ring cause I forgot to take it off this morning and she got really mad that we had promise rings. I told her off and when I finished, she said that she'd make you hers," Mitchie explained.
Shane burst out laughing.
"What's so funny?" Mitchie questioned.
"The last part. Trust me, Mitch, I will never belong to anyone else but you," Shane stated.
"Really?" Mitchie asked hopefully.
"You're wearing that ring right now. Does that answer your question?"
Mitchie smiled. "I love you, Shane."
"I love you too, Mitchie."
"God, when are you coming home?" Mitchie said.
Shane sighed. "Not too much longer. We all agreed that we're gonna take a break after this tour. So they'll be plenty of time to spend together," he explained.
"Yeah. I guess you're right. But I really wanna see you now. I'm sick of always being apart," Mitchie admitted.
"So am I. We all miss you, baby. And we really wanna come home. But –"
"I understand," Mitchie interrupted sadly.
Shane closed his eyes, feeling tears begin to well up. He knew she was hurting. He could hear it in her voice. And he hated when she hurt. Especially when he was the one causing it. "Mitch, you know I love you, right?" he asked.
"Of course. And I love you too," Mitchie replied.
"Shane! Come on!" Nate called.
Shane sighed. "Mitch, I gotta go," he informed.
"No," Mitchie pleaded softly.
"I'm sorry, baby. I have to. We have a show tonight and we still need to rehearse."
Mitchie sighed. "Ok. Call me tonight?"
"Of course. I love you, Mitchie."
"I love you too, Shane."
The pair hung up and Mitchie placed her head in her hands and began to cry. She hated this. She hated being away from Shane. She hated not being able to hug him, touch him, kiss him. She hated the fuzzy feeling she got in her stomach when she heard his voice because it always vanished the minute they hung up. She didn't know how she got here the last few months but she knew it was no longer just simply puppy love. She knew for a fact that she was in love with Shane. And that caused more hurt than anything.
She lifted her head from her hands and looked at herself in the mirror. She was a mess. Her eyes were red and puffy. Her cheeks were stained with tears and the color had drained from her face. But now, Shane wasn't there to wipe the tears away and hold her until everything was better.
Camp Rock
"Ok! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Connect 3's manager stormed on stage as Shane's legs gave out and he collapsed to the floor.
"Dave, don't yell at him," Nate said.
"Yeah. He misses Mitchie," Jason added.
"Shane, you can't let some girl get in the way of tonight's show," Dace stated.
Nate and Jason cringed when they saw Shane's face. This wasn't going to end well.
"Some girl? Some girl!?" Shane rose to his feet and glared at Dave. "Mitchie is not just some girl! She's the girl I love more than anything. She's the reason I'm no longer acting like a jerky asshole. She's the only person who saw Shane, now Shane Gray. She's my everything. And no one, especially you, has the right to call her 'some girl'!" With that, Shane stormed off, never once turning around.
"Ok. That was awkward," Nate commented.
"Yeah," Jason agreed. He paused before adding, "Does that mean we get to take a break?"
Nate and Dave both glared at Jason. Dave left the stage and Nate headed backstage to find Shane. He checked his dressing room and found him lying on the couch holding a picture of him and Mitchie that they'd taken on the last day of camp. They had their arms wrapped around each other, her head against his chest and his head leaning against hers. Caitlyn Gellar had snapped the picture on Shane's digital camera.
"Hey, buddy. You ok?" Nate asked, making his presence known.
Shane didn't remove his eyes from the picture. He simply shrugged.
Nate sighed and entered the room. "Look, man, I know Dave is harsh and what he said was totally uncalled for but he's got a point," he stated.
Shane's eyes darted from the picture to Nate, confused.
"You can't let Mitchie completely take over your life," Nate continued.
"Nate, Mitchie is my life."
Camp Rock
Mitchie stood at her locker, pulling books out of it. It was finally the end of the day and she wanted more than anything to just go home.
Her eyes landed on her locker door, where she had one picture of Shane and one of the two of them.
In the one of just Shane, Mitchie had taken a picture of him sitting by the docks where he'd sung 'Gotta Find You' to her. He was holding his guitar, smiling up at the camera.
In the picture of both of them, Shane had his arm wrapped around her shoulders and she had her arms around his waist. Mitchie was smiling brightly at the camera while Shane kissed the side of her head.
Mitchie traced her finger along the edge of the picture, feeling tears in her eyes. She sighed deeply before tearing her eyes away from the pictures and back into her locker. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before gathering the rest of her books. She stuffed them into her backpack before slamming her locker door closed and walking away.
Her phone went off, signaling she had a text message. She pulled her phone out and read the text.
'I'm coming home.
Love, Shane'
