Chapter 1
"Your going to Camp Rock!"
xoxoxo
"You really screwed up this time, Alex!" Jerry, Alex's father, was almost screaming at the top of his lungs at daddy's little girl. So she maybe used her powers to travel back in time and change the fact of her father losing his powers over his brother, but she had a great reason to back it up.
"But daddy! You were going on and on about how you hated the fact that you couldn't keep your powers and I, being your only little girl, decided to change that fact so you could be happy." Alex calmly explained leaning against the kitchen table wiggling her feet in her favorite converses. She really did do it out of the love and concern of her father.
"Alex, didn't you say yesterday that 'daddy's favorite' or the person who would give him his powers back would possible get away with more if he was too pre occupied with magic himself." Justin added shaking his head. Okay, so it was mostly out of the love and concern of her father.
"Is this true Alex?" Jerry said looking at his daughter in pure disappointment. Alex looked down at her toes. She would normally come up with something witty to say, but she felt totally ashamed and misplaced at the moment. This had to be the most self-centered, horrible thing she has ever done besides wishing her brother never existed in the family and leaving Max on Mars which was sort of Justin's fault too.
"So are you going to ground me and lock me up in my room?" Alex asked still looking down. Her mother walked in the kitchen from the balcony with the phone squeezed in her hand and nodded towards her father signaling him that some big news was concerned that would change the Russo's family forever.
"Yes Alex, you are grounded, but your not going to be locked up in your room. Well, the room that you call yours not because it won't be yours, but your room when you get that room." Her father said even confusing himself.
"What he means is that you will no longer be staying here, but with you aunt and cousin, Mitchie, for the rest of your high school years." Her mother said almost not able to get it out with tears flying down her face. Even her father looked like he was going to have some speeding down his cheeks, but of course would never cry in front of the kids. Justin and Max's eyes flew wide open along with their mouths as they also witness what their mother had said.
"You're disowning me? Mom, dad, my powers were already taking away! Wasn't that enough?" Alex asked crying herself now. Talk about crucial punishment. I mean, Mitchie was her favorite cousin and all and she liked going there every other summer, but as far as a place to stay (not indicating that she has a horrible place.), that was just…indescribable.
"I can't believe this, but I agree with Alex. Isn't this a little rough?" Justin added. Jerry just went over and put his arm on Alex's shoulder. "I'm sorry guys, but this is the only way you'll realize that your actions have major consequences and that we can't keep expecting you to behave if we know your not going to."
"And it's not like it's not the beginning of summer." Their mother added trying to look at the Brightside which was hard when knowing your middle child who of course, is your only girl is leaving in two weeks and you'll possible only see her well…every other summer. "That gives you plenty of time to make some decent friends before school starts again."
"I don't want any new friends or to live somewhere new and I am not leaving! Nothing you can do will make me leave!"
xoxoxo
"I can't believe I'm leaving Harper." Alex said hugging her best friend tightly beside the train that would take her to her new life. "Call me everyday Alex! Justin and I will send our love!" Harper said to Alex only glancing towards Alex's brother. Alex rolled her eyes and laughed as a single tear rolled down her face. She wasn't one to cry, but this felt like a cryable moment as did two weeks ago when she received the news. She had already said goodbye to everyone; her mom, dad, brothers, Riley, an unsurprisingly happy Gigi, and now Harper. She knew she had to aboard the train soon so gave her best friend one last hug. She took one foot on the plane before a hand touched her shoulders.
"Here is your own personal credit card. Use it wisely while you're up there to do some of the activities Mitchie does without straining your aunt out of some money to entertain another body." Her father said as he placed the card in Alex's hand. Alex just nodded and stared into her father's eyes.
"I really am sorry dad." Alex said. He just smiled and told her it was okay and that he felt touched, somewhat, on her trying to bring back his powers. Alex just shook her head.
"No dad. Sorry I wasn't your perfect little girl that would never grow up." She said and meant it giving her dad one more hug and boarding the train
Jerry joined back his family this time not ashamed to let a tear roll down (neither was Justin or Max) as they watch the train toot off and watch Alex magically disappear.
"Alex, I have great news!" Connie, Alex's aunt yelped as Alex and Mitchie found themselves around the kitchen table eating an early breakfast. Alex looked up excited at what the news could be. It had been three weeks since she had landed there and things had seemed to be going really good. She shared a room with Mitchie which was really cool because they were so close and shared the same hate…for sandwiches. Mitchie's dad owned a burger joint while Alex's family owned a sub shack.
"You're going to Camp Rock!" Her aunt screeched both Alex and Mitchie squealed. Alex was so into rock, old and new, even though she didn't know how to play an instrument or sing as well as Mitch. Still, never hurts to go to camp over the summer.
"This is so exciting which is funny because at this same table at this time of day last year, I was told that I couldn't go until later that day after school! I want you to meet everyone when you're there." Mitch exhaled fast with a huge smile plastered on her face. Connie left the two girls at the table to talk, laugh, and to talk about the camp.
"Like that Shane Gray guy you keep talking about?" Alex said making Mitch blush. Alex smiled. She knew how hard it was for her cousin to fit in because it was like that for her at her old school…sort of. She wasn't nerdy like Justin or popular like Gigi. Just normally one friended like her cuz.
"Yeah like Shane Gray. I still can't believe you've never heard of Connect Three! They are the hottest teen sensation around here!"
"Looks like I have a lot to learn." Alex said knowing that summer would possible never be the same.
Review please. I've never been able to finish a fan fiction, but I have a GREAT feeling about this one and I would really like your opinion. Is it too long? Should I put it in one person's point of view?
