Hey guys! I wrote this because it's been stuck in my head for a little while. Of course, I don't own the Jonas Brothers, camp rock, or anything that would make me as rich as the Walt Disney company (tear slides down my cheek…), but I do own the song that is written in italics. If anyone steals it, then I will be very upset, because I wrote it, and I am very protective of my songs. Anyways, I hope you like it!

Mitchie's POV
"Hey!" Shane jumped up to the doorstep of my cabin. "Are you ready to go?"
"Sure, just let me put my shoes on!" I told him as I crawled under my rickety camp bed to find my favorite shoes. Those would be my boots. I grabbed them, and then slid back out from under the bed. Shane was sitting on Caitlyn's bed, laughing at me.
"What are you laughing about, pop star?" I said in mock anger.
"Your hair is covered in dust!' he choked out, laughing all the while.
I jumped up and ran a hand through my hair. Sure enough, as I pulled it away, my hand had gathered a fair amount of dust from my hair.
"EW, that's really gross, all my shoes are under the bed!" I looked at Shane again, and he was still chuckling quietly to himself. He had a really strange laugh. It sounded like a snorting bull. This made me start laughing.
"Why are YOU laughing about, huh? He asked me, though truly confused.
"Your laugh is weird!" I stated before cracking up again.
"You think that's funny, huh, well let's see if you think this is funny." He jumped off Caitlyn's bed, threw me across his shoulder, and carried me out of the cabin.
"Shane, wait, I don't have my shoes on yet!" I exclaimed.
He continued to carry me, and he just said, "you don't need shoes, see, I'm not wearing any either."
I looked down to his feet, and sure enough, he wasn't wearing any. I wondered where we were going, and I realized that we were headed towards the docks. I guess that means a canoe ride! I love going on canoe rides, even if we never even get more than 6 feet away from the dock.
"hey Shane.'" I said, still traveling on his shoulder. I know I should tell him to put me down, but I like riding up here, and I can smell the scent that is unique to Shane. I breathe it in deeply as he answers.
"yeah?"
"What are we going to do?"
"Well we are going on a canoe ride, and then we are going to have a picnic for dinner." Shane answered me happily. It still amazed me that he would rather spend time with me, a nobody, than hang out with people in Hollywood, people who could push his career even higher, if that was possible. Even though he takes every chance he gets to tell me how much fun I am to be around, I still don't understand. I mean, I know that we are dating, but we haven't even kissed yet, and I've never dated, let alone kissed, anyone before.
We arrived at the dock, and Shane helped me get into one of the canoes. Then he got in, and we pushed off the edge. We sat there in a comfortable silence, until it started to get dark. I looked at Shane, and I noticed him looking at me with the look that he only seems to have when he sees me. I honestly don't understand why he likes me, I'm just some normal girl, who happens to have some undiscovered musical talent.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I questioned, wondering what his answer would be.
"Because you're beautiful, and I never want to forget what being on love feels like." He answered me sincerely.
I felt my breath catch in my throat. Did he just say he was in love with me? Does he really? Umm, I should probably say something back.
"What?" I said dumbly.
"I said that you're beautiful, and that I'm in love with you." He stated like it was written in a book, like it was well-known fact.
"I love you too." I said, while a smile that was meant especially for Shane spread quickly across my face and the sparkle of it shone in my eyes.
Shane smiled at me for a little bit longer. (Author's note: a little bit longer is a Jonas Brothers song, for those of you are so weird you don't listen to them….) we then struggled to paddle ourselves back to the dock.
When we got there, he helped me out of the canoe, and me being the klutz I am, tripped and almost fell flat on my face. He caught me, and then took my hand. We walked together to the place where Shane had set up a picnic. He had put it where he sang gotta find you to me for the first time. The place where I had fallen for him. The place where, not that I knew, he had fallen for me.
When we arrived, we sat down together, still holding hands. He let go of my hand momentarily, to grab the picnic basket. He pulled out two sandwiches, and then he pulled out two cupcakes, both topped with a mound of blue frosting. I laughed out loud. Blue cupcakes! That was what he had picked up in the kitchen, that day I had yelled at him for being a jerk. He smiled at me, and there was no need to talk, I knew what he wanted me to know. Words were not needed, a useless noise.
When we finished eating, he got up, and pulled his guitar out from behind a tree. he came back and sat down next to me.
"I wrote a song for you, and I hope you like it." He said and then he started playing a slow, soothing melody. I felt myself fall under the spell of him and his music. Then he started singing:
I see this beautiful world
It's not even close to your face
I see this wonderful place
It's called your soul
I see the lights
Blink in the sky
I watch your eyes
Smiling at me
What did I do to deserve such a dream?
Because with you
I could be on top of the world
And it wouldn't matter to me
I could be deep down under the sea
And I wouldn't care
I wouldn't need
I could be found
With death by my side
But if you're on the other
The I wouldn't mind
Because when I look
Deep in your eyes
I find my spirit flies
I can't give up
On you, you're my love
Deep down inside
Is what you see when you look in my eyes
Because with you
I could be on top of the world
And it wouldn't matter to me
I could be deep down under the sea
And I wouldn't care
I wouldn't need
I could be found
With death by my side
But if you're on the other
The I wouldn't mind
Because when I look
Deep in your eyes
I find my spirit flies
This world
Needs nothing more than your face
To make it beautiful
This place needs your soul
To find the wonder within
And my heart needs your eyes
To stay alive
Because with you
I could be on top of the world
And it wouldn't matter to me
I could be deep down under the sea
And I wouldn't care
I wouldn't need
I could be found
With death by my side
But if you're on the other
The I wouldn't mind
Because when I look
Deep in your eyes
I find my spirit flies
And my heart needs your eyes
To stay alive
I felt tears running down my cheeks when he finished. Had he really written this song for me? Did I really mean this much to him? Did he- my thoughts were interrupted by Shane clearing his throat.
"I loved it." I whispered, as I felt a few more tears escape my eyes.
"It's called 'To Stay Alive'" Shane whispered back, and at that moment, knew he was the one. The one that I was destined to fall for, the one I was meant to fall for, the one who was meant to fall for me.
He leaned in closer to me and put his hand on my cheek, wiping my overemotional tears off with his thumbs. Then he pulled my face onto his and we shared our first kiss. It was perfect. I saw fireworks go off, I heard the hallelujah chorus playing, and I knew that Shane truly did love me, and I truly loved him. When we broke apart, we were both smiling like big idiots.
I leaned my head onto his shoulder, and I heard him singing, without his guitar, the song he had written to me. His voice was a lullaby to me, and I slowly drifted away from consciousness. I was still partly awake, and I felt him pick me up and carry me back to my cabin. He placed me on my bed, took off my shoes, covered me with the blankets, and kissed my cheek.
"I love you Mitchie, I love you so much." He whispered into my ear, as I drifted off into a deep peaceful sleep.
I didn't even hear his soft breathing as he sat there for nearly an hour, watching me sleep.
Hey! So… what did you think?! This is my first fanfiction, so tell me if I'm any good.
Thanks a million!
