So I was feeling sentimental and was watching some old disney movies and got stuck reading a bunch of Camp Rock FanFictions and realized that most of the story are just forgotten about. So for you who feels like me and want some more Camp Rock.. Here comes a story. And I'm writing in a different style than I'm used to so this can be interesting in more than one way.
To give you guys the ground work for this story. Mitchie and Nate used to live next door to each other growing up. He always went to Camp Rock over the summer and when Connect 3 started to take off, life changed for all of them. The guys where friends from Camp and not brothers. Mitchie and Nate are still friends but not as close as they used to be. But when Mitchie gets to go to Camp Rock the following year and the guys are there too, things don't go the way they thought. (and for all you Smitchie fan out there they will get together, as well as Naitlyn)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Camp Rock's original characters or any parts from the movie.
Mitchie's POV:
"I can't believe that she said yes! What changed her mind?" Sierra asked me at our lookers.
"Mom's gonna be the chef there this year and she know that I always wanted to go with Nate all these years but I think I can manage without him." I said and squealed while the thought of not getting to have Nate there with me was getting to me.
"Have you talked to him lately?" She asked me with pure concern in her eyes, knowing that my life wasn't the same after he left to live in the city with the guys.
"A few weeks ago, but you know how it is. It's a 2 minute call at most and it's just not the same. We just check in with the other and not really talking about what's important." I answered as I tried to not let it get to me.
"I get it but at least his still there for you if you'd really need him." She said with a smile as she put her arm around my shoulders and closed my looker.
"I guess.." I said looking at the ground. Except that he wasn't there last summer when everything went to crap was what my mind was screaming back at her. "Okay, no more sad faces thinking of Nate. Cause it's summer!" I screamed quietly as we started to make our way to the schools parking lot.
Nate's POV:
"It feels weird going back there after all this time." Jason said watching as the trees past by the window.
"It's only been a year Jase" I shighed.
"Even I have a hard time believing that it's only been a year man, feels like a different life." Shane said, defending our airhead of a friend.
"yeah-yeah" I shrugged it off thinking back to the last summer there before the whole Connect 3 thing even started. The summer my best friend was gonna come with me for the first time but then there was that thing with her dad and she had to stay home. I didn't get to see her much these days, it was't the same without her there. Maybe I should stop by the house and see how she's doing when camp's over...
"What are you thinking about now?" Shane asked. " I can tell that it's not business, thank god."
"Just some stuff about our last summer there." I answered shortly as my thoughts went right back to Mitchie.
"You are so thinking about her again" Jason's words pulled me back to reality.
"You so are.. Aren't you?" was Shane's response.
"Yeah, but it's just that she was suppose to come with me that year but couldn't and things haven't been the same since. non of us has been the same ever since" I muttered the last part quietly so they didn't hear.
"But you talk to her almost every week, it can't be that different." Jason asked with, to my surprise, real concern in his eyes.
"Yeah but not like we used to, she was my best friend and then you guys came along." I said wanting to change the topic and it seems to have worked since they both started goofing off around with me.
Mitchie's POV:
"So have you told Nate that you finally get to come here?" Mom asked me as we turned down the road following the Camp Rock sign.
"No, I was thinking about it but it just felt weird to talk about it with his life being so different and the fact that he wont be there." I didn't really feel like talking about him any more it just reminded me about dad.. Perfect timing to pull up to the Camp Rock's parking lot.
"Well we're here now" mom said thinking I might not have noticed. But before she could turn the off the van and turn towards me I was already walking up the rest of the kids there.
Feeling amazed and a bit overwhelmed about being here I took out me phone and texted Nate. I had been here less than a minute and could already see why he kept coming back here all these years.
Nate's POV:
The guys were still goofing off a little when my phone buzzed me out of my thoughts. I couldn't fight the smile even if I wanted to. It read:
Hey Nate, I get why you kept coming back here ever summer. It wont be the same without you but I think I'll be okay.
The text had a picture attached to it. I clicked on the attachment and saw the all to familiar sight over the lake. I couldn't help but giggle a little at the thought of getting to have her there with me after all. The guys must had heard me since they asked why I was so glued to my phone. I fast replied before putting my phone down ignoring the guys questions.
Mitchie's POV:
I was kind of shocked by the fast reply as to what was in it.
Hey Mitch, yeah but don't be so sure about that. You'll get it soon."
Kind of cryptic, yes.. He could be so weird sometimes. I got ripped away from my thoughts when I heard someone speak into a microphone on the other side of the crowd of kids.
"Hi, I'm Dee La Duke the musical director here at Camp Rock." Everybody turned their attention to the energetic red head up on the stage and everyone joined in for a "Hi Dee" before she continued. "Okay, this summer is not just about final final jam. We have a lot of work to do. You're gonna get new music skills, you're gonna find your sound, create your own style and figure out who you wanna be as an artist but most of all, have fun!" Everyone screamed and shouted as a response. My only thought, This is gonna be amazing.
"And, drum toll please!" A tall skinny guys give her a drum roll of the stage. " For the first time, we're gonna be joined at camp by some very special celebrity instructors! And old camp rockers.. Connect three!"
Now Nate's text made sense. He and the guys were gonna be here. I couldn't really wrap my head around the fact that I would get to see my old friend again. I started to work my way through the crowd and looking around when I accidentally back into some girl.
"Look where you're going" She snapped before walking over to some other girls.
"Don't worry about her. That's Tess Tyler, the diva of Camp Rock." I heard from a girl sitting on the edge of the stage.
"Oh.. okay." I said looking back towards her and the girls.
"I'm Caitlyn and you are?" She said with a smile.
"Hi, I'm Mitchie" I said as we started to walk around the grounds.
"So is this your first time here?" Caitlyn asked.
"Yeah, I was gonna go last year with Nate but that didn't happen so." I answered not really realizing my words.
"Wait are you talking about Nate? As in Nate Parks?" I could see how she was caught of guard by my mentioning of his name. I was starting to regret saying anything at all. "Sorry, didn't mean it like that. We used to hang out a bit a few years back and we had a few classes together last year."
"Okay... Yeah, we grow up together. Not that we are that close any more." Trying to turn her attention away from Nate.
"I get it, having a friend move away is always hard on a friendship. At least you get to see him this summer." She said sympathetically. She really didn't care about who he was or any of that. She was really sweet.
"I guess so" I said not really sure what to say about it. "Wait.. Caitlyn, I think I remembered Nate mentioning you sometime when he had gotten back from back. I used to tease him all the time about you." I could see her blush even she hid it well as she joined me in some light laughter.
We talked a bit more and ended up deciding to bunk together for the summer. I had a feeling we could be good for each other. I had to go get my stuff from my cabin I was suppose to share with mom. But after explaining and promising to help out around the kitchen she finally let me go.
Nate's POV:
When we pulled up at camp we drove to the counsellors parking to not be in the eye of everything when we arrived. Once we got out of the limo Shane's uncle Brown greeted us.
"It feel good having you guys back here for the summer. It wouldn't have been the same." He said as he hugged us all.
"Uncle Brown... can't.. breath..." Shane managed to get out after a few tries.
"Sorry mate." He said letting go of his nephew. "So this is your cabin, mine's just over there and I'll get your schedules after dinner okay.?" We nodded in response. "And we have a new chef this year so no more complaining about the food. I bet Connie's great." He said as he walked out of their cabin and over the his office.
Jason dropped his bags down on a bed and crashed down on it as well. "Feels good to be back" He said as he drifted of day dreaming. I looked over at Shane who already had his guitar out and was starting to take his usual spot on the docks.
My thoughts drifted to Browns last words. Connie, no it couldn't be. He had to make sure if it was her or not. It would feel so good seeing her again. It was understanding that I missed Mitchie but Connie was like a second mom to me.
I walked around the counselors cabins a while before I found what I was looking for. I walked up the steps and knocked on the cabin door. She had the same look on her face that I probably had when I realized they'd be here when she opened the door and saw me standing there. It took her a few seconds to wrap her head around it until she reacted and pulled me into a long overdo hug.
"God, Nate.. Where have you been? We've missed you, you know!?" She said over my shoulder before she let me out of her grip.
"I've missed you guys too! Where's Mitch?" I said looking around the cabin.
"She met some friends and changed cabin but she's around here somewhere. She didn't tell me you where coming..."
"I'm not sure she know yet. When she texted me that she was here I hinted that we where coming but I haven't gotten an answer yet so I don't know if they told everyone yet."
"Okay, I'm sure she's gonna come looking for you once she's settled in." She reassured me, or at least trying to.
Mitchie's POV:
After I dropped my stuff of at the cabin Caitlyn and some of the other campers were sitting outside on our porch playing around with some music. They wanted me to stay but I felt like I needed to find a place for myself to think for a second. There was to much going on inside this head of mind.
I was walking along the lake when I heard this beautiful melody. I followed the sound to the docks only to find Shane there. I stopped by a tree behind him listening to the sound. Great I so didn't need his attitude right now, especially about Nate. Okay, I don't really know Shane but from the tabloids and what I've heard from Nate it wasn't something I needed right know, actually it was something nobody needed. Every. My plan to turn around and get away undetected didn't really go as planned when she had to crack a stick on the ground, exposing her.
"Can't a guy get some piece?" He said annoyed and turn around towards me.
"Sorry... I mean sorry" I said and started to walk past him.
"You said that already." He said in the same tone as before.
"Sorry.. was that you playing? It sounded kinda different." I stopped and asked him.
"Than my usual stupid cookie cutter pop star stuff? Sorry to disappoint" He snapped.
"You didn't. I liked it. I mean, it was good for 'stupid cookie cutter pop start stuff' " I said and gave him a smile, hoping he's mood might turn around.
"Wow, you really know how to make a guy feel better." He said and smiled, then I knew I had succeeded.
"I thought you loved your sound, you created it here. You're like a Camp Rock legend."
"Some legend, I only play the music that the label think we'll sell. That's it." He wasn't in a good mood for that long.. not that it surprised me that much but still.
"You don't think that song would sell?" I was sincere, that melody was so amazing.
"I don't know." He answered shortly and shrugged.
"Well, you'll never know if you don't try. And by the way, I know one girl who would by that song." I said and walked away before messing everything up.
"Wait, do I know you?" Great.. he had to ask..
"I don't think so" I said fast, maybe to fast.
"No, I know you from somewhere.." His mind drifted as he tried to remember. I started to take a few steps hoping he wouldn't notice. I would have made it further if his memory hadn't started to work. "You're that.. Mitchie. Nate's best friend from back home."
I turned around facing him. "Yeah, that's me." I said before turning back around and walking away from there fast.
So let me know what you think guys! I have a few chapters worked up and will post them soon, promise. And just so you know for the future, I love cliffhangers and drama. R&R!
Love S.
