Since Camp Rock seems to be my latest love, this is what happened, a Camp Rock oneshot!
Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock, I wish I did though ;)

The crowd was larger then any crowd she had ever seen before.
She couldn't do this.
How could she go out there and sing a very personal song to a room full of people?
Some of whom were still mad at her for the lies she told.
All she wanted to do was fit in and be popular for once.
But it was wrong all the same.
And now she had to go out there and sing about the feelings that have plagued her for a long time.
How was she going to do this?!
"Come on Mitchie, you're on babe." Mitchie turned toward the familar voice, finding Caitlyn beside her, a guitar oh her shoulder. Caitlyn had become her only and true best friend at the camp, sticking by her through it all.
"I can't Caitlyn. How can I? He hates me. I'm no good as Tess, just like he said."
"Michelle Torres. Do not compare yourself to that Regina George wannabe Tess. You are so much better then her. Yes you lied. But everyone does. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be forgiven. And if Shane loves you like I'm sure he does, he'll forgive you. But he can't do that unless you get out there and sing."
Mitchie looked at her friend before peeking out from behind the curtain ont he side of the stage.
There he was, looking just as beautiful as ever, Nate and Jason with him too as they sat and judged the acts.
She had to do this. For him, and for herself too.
"Okay, let's do this." Mitchie smiled.
Caitlyn smiled in return before giving her a reassuring hug. She walked out before Mitchie, playing a familar melody on her guitar.
Taking a deep breath, Mitchie came out from behind the curtain, singing timidly into the microphone in her hand.
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
The music picked up the beat, Caitlyn throwing her a look that said 'just let go girl' and she did.
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you
To let you know
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
Her confidence was growing, steady and strong, but she saw that Shane had gotten up, ready to leave most likely. Couldn't blame him after all she did, she saw Nate and Jason trying to stop him by blocking th exit but he didn't turn around. But she kept on going.
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in my myself
It's the only way
She saw Shane turned back toward the stage, his eyes suddenly locked with hers. She saw him say something, she wasn't sure what though. Her eyes left his as the crowd got into the song, so did she.
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
This is me
Her eyes closed as she held that last note, then, the music changed a bit and she heard his voice.
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
Her eyes opened and found his, he really was singing, the song meant for his mystery dream girl he had heard singing that first day of camp. He finally knew it was her. She watched him make his way down the aisle to the stage, Nate and Jason hurrying ahead of him to join Caitlyn with their own guitars, to her. His hand grasped hers, his smile contagious.
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you
She joined him on that last line before they belted out both their heartfelt songs, harmonizing each other, the music taking hold of both of them...
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need The song inside of me
This is me
You're the voice inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
The audience broke out into loud cheers and applauds, but at that moment, Mitchie didn't hear or see anything, nothing but him.
As his arms brought her closer, their faces now inches apart, his lips captured hers in a passionate kiss Mitchie didn't believe possible til that moment.
This was exactly where she was suppoed to be, on stage in front of a screaming crowd yes, but also, in Shane's arms.
