ILY Nate
Shane Grey has everything. A loving family, a great group friends, he's popular at his school, his family is rich and his uncle owns one of the most popular summer camp, Camp Rock.
Shane's family sends him each year and he and his closest friend at the Camp, Jason Matthews, always group with each other and tackle the camp's last performance Final Jam.
Shane has everything he can ask for and he knows it. But the one thing he doesn't have is true love and being gay in a small town can sometimes be hard.
Nate Jones is a troubled sixteen year old. Living at the orphange in New York, Nate sometimes wanders why his parents left him here.
The orphange's owner who adopted Nate as her own, has tried to give him everything he could to make him happy but the only thing Nate wants is to be loved.
The owner tries everything. He knows Nate is talented, having taught himself guitar when he was only 6 years old. When he finds an advertisement for Camp Rock the owner sends Nate there hoping that Nate will start living in the present instead of stressing over the past and to why his parents left him.
Shane Jason and Nate meet at their cabin.
How will Nate react with the kindness that he recieves from the two older boys? How will he react when he realizes that he's falling for the raven haired boy?
Chapter 1;
[Shane's P.O.V]
"Shane honey you need to finish packing. Otherwise your Uncle is not going to be happy with you." my mother Galinda Grey said as she walked into my room.
I sat on my bed putting my clothes in the last suitcase that I needed to pack for the next two months. "I'm going mom. I'm basically done. I just have to pack some shoes." I said going into my closet and grabbing out some Vans and Converse.
After I put those in the suitcase, I zipped it up and dragged it to the front door where the rest of my suitcases stood waiting to be taken to our destination.
"Be good and listen to you're Uncle. He said last night that you and Jason are going to have a special project this summer. A young boy who's about two years younger than you. I guess he needs some friends." my mother said.
I nodded before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I will. You know how Jason and I are. Always trying to make friends." I said.
My mother nodded before helping me get the suitcases into the back of her boyfriend's car. Chad Burton is his name. I'm not too fond of him, but I guess that happens to everyone. You parents get divorced and your mother gets a boyfriend and you dislike them. Its what's supposed to happen I guess.
"Alright Shane honey. Call me when you're all settled ok?" my mother asked. I nodded before giving her a hug. It's the last time I'll see her until the end of camp.
She placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.
Getting into the front seat of Chad's F-150 truck I waved to her as we drove off.
-
"So Shane your mother has told me that you have chosen a different type of lifestyle." Chad said as he drove down the highway. I shrugged. "Yeah, I'm gay. She kind of figured that after she got divorced. She said I spent a lot of time talking to girls and going shopping and gossiping, instead of hanging with guys and having belching contests." I said as I leaned over to turn on the radio.
"That's cool. Have you found a boyfriend yet?" Chad asked.
"Nope. It's kind of hard to when you live in a small town where most guys are straight as my hair. It's not that big of a deal. If Jason and I get far with our careers I'll be too busy with music to have a relationship." I said smiling at the mention of my best friend.
Jason Matthews.
Granted he wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box, but he was a great friend, a wicked guitar player, and has a weird facination with birds. I'll never understand it. I sometimes wonder how Isabella Fringe, his girlfriend does.
Maybe because they've known each other since they were in diapers could explain alot.
-
"We're here!" I sang as Chad pulled into the camp's parking lot. This year was going to be so awesome.
Uncle Brown came jogging over from somewhere and to the truck. "Shane! How are you? I want you to meet Nate Jones." Brown said as he beckoned a boy about sixteen years of age over to us.
He had deep chocolate brown eyes and uncontrolled curly hair. He smiled but the smile never reached his eyes. There was something about this boy that intrigued me. And I wanted to know what it was.
"Hi, I'm Shane Grey. You'll be my new cabinmate. Our other cabinmate Jason Matthews is around here somewhere being his crazy self." I said with a chuckle as I held my hand out. Nate looked at me for a moment before taking it and shaking it lightly.
His hands were soft yet slightly calloused. Which means he must play some sort of a stringed instrument. Hopefully guitar.
[Nate's P.O.V]
I stood in front of the house that was supposed to become my future home. The orphanage's owner, Katy King, heard about the abuse I was recieving from the other kids, and decided to adopt me. The adoption is still in progress because the man who takes care of the orphange is an ass. I shivered at the thought of him.
She explained to me that she'll never have kids because of an accident that happened when she was younger. I can tell she doesn't like talking about it so I don't ask.
We all have skeletons in our closets that we want to stay in there.
"Nate honey, do you have all of your things in the car?" Katy asked as she walked out of the house. I nodded. She was sending me to some camp for musicians. I love music. It's my escape. Well it was my escape at the orphange. Now it's something I just do as a hobby because I'm not hiding from the kids.
Katy said she knew the owner of the camp and that he said he knew the perfect boys to take me in and show me around and help me get used to the camp ways. But I really doubt they'll feel that way when they find out that I'm gay.
One of the many reasons all the older boys threw me around like a rag doll. Because I was a 'queer'.
I shook my head and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. "It's ok Nate. Come on. We don't want to be late. Brown might not like that. But then again he's a pretty laid back person. Come on." Katy said wrapping her arm around my shoulder and guided me to her car.
The ride to the camp was quiet, with the sounds of the radio in the background. It wasn't too long but by the time we arrived there Katy had to wake me up.
"Katy King. It's so nice to see you again." I heard someone say behind us as Katy helped me get my suitcases out of the back. "Brown, this is Nate Jones, the boy I was telling you about. Very promising and very talented." Katy said as she pushed me forward a little.
"Nice to meet you Nate." Brown said holding out his hand. I took it shaking it slightly.
"Katy have you given it to him yet?" Brown asked. I looked at him confused. "Nate? I know when I had announced that I was going to adopt you, the other boys, Kyle and his group went into your room and broke your guitar." Of course they did. It was the only thing that linked me to my parents, it being my father's.
I nodded waiting for her to continue.
"I, unfortunatly, wasn't able to get it fixed and I know it was very special to you. So, with the help of Brown here, I got you this." Katy said grabbing out a guitar case. "Go ahead son, open it." Brown said as he pointed to the guitar.
I opened the guitar case. An exact replica of my father's guitar laid in the case. The only difference was this guitar was a Le Paul Gibson, instead of a Harmony.
"Thank you so much Katy." I said giving her a hug.
"Well my nephew is here so I must go say hi to him. I'll be right back." Brown said before jogging off in the direction of a pick-up truck.
"Thamk you again." I said closing the guitar case.
"You're welcome. I remember you were always up on the roof of the orphanage playing yyour guitar. I pretty sure your parents would be very proud. Now I must go. I have some business I must attend to but I will call you as soon as it's over and see how you're doing ok?" Katy asked placing her hand on my shoulders.
I nodded before giving her once last hug. Katy placed a kiss to my forehead before getting into her car and leaving.
I turned around to see that I was being beckoned over to Brown and his nephew.
I smiled at the raven-haired boy taking in his features. He had lighter brown eyes, and his almost black hair was straight. He had a perfect smile which clearly never left his eyes.
This boy was gourgeous. The way the sun hit his features made it even more obvious than before.
"Hi, I'm Shane Grey. You'll be my new cabinmate. Our other cabinmate Jason Matthews is around here somewhere being his crazy self." he said with a chuckle as he held his hand out. I looked at Shane for a moment before taking it and shaking it lightly.
As if he knew we were talking about him, a boy, who I assumed to be Jason, ran up to us and tackled Shane. "SHANE!" he said hugging his friend.
I stood back feeling like I was intruding on the something.
I silently walked back to my stuff and grabbed all the sutcases, dufflebags and the new guitar Katy gave me and headed towards the cabin. I found the one with my, Shane's and Jason's names on a peice of paper. I went into the cabin and set my stuff by one of the beds. I started putting clothes into the dresser next to my bed and after that I put the sheets on the matress.
Sitting cross-legged on my bed I found myself playing random chords on my bed. That is until Shane and Jason came in laughing loudly. I put my guitar away and drew my attention to my shoes.
"Dude you left without saying anything. What's up?" Shane asked as he and Jason sat on either side of me. I instantly tensed up.
Kyle and some of his friends used to sit that way before they started beating me.
"I felt like I was inturrupting something so I decided to leave and get everything unpacked." I said.
"Oh." Jason said.
'If you don't mind. I'm going to walk around the camp for awhile. I'll see you two later." I said getting off my bed and walking out of the cabin leaving Jason and Shane sitting there.
I sat at the dock with my knees to my chest, chin resting on the top of my knees, and my arms around my legs. I promised myself I wasn't going to get attached to Shane and Jason. I promised myself I wasn't going to become attracted to anyone.
Because that's what I did with Kyle. And I was almost killed
