A/N: Hello guys! :) Thanks for the amazing reviews! You guys are awesome. Also, there have been some questions about the timeline, and that will be explained at the bottom. Anyway, this chapter will be more focused on Shane. The last chapter was more focused on Mitchie. That pattern will continue throughout the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Camp Rock or the song "Fall for You" by Secondhand Serenade.
Month Two: Inspiration
It was rare that you would see Shane Gray, international pop phenomenon, with free time. Usually he was promoting his new CD, or belting out music for thousands of screaming fangirls at sold out shows. But today, Shane was laying on his couch, bored out of his mind.
In the midst of counting the amount of tiles on the ceiling, Shane's phone started to ring. He sighed a breath of relief when Mitchie's face appeared on the screen.
"Hey Mitch!" He answered cheerfully.
"Hi, Shane."
Mitchie's tone was gloomy, and Shane knew something was wrong.
"Is something bothering you, Mitchie?"
Her voice cracked as she answered. "No."
"Michelle Elizabeth Torres, has anybody ever told you that you are the worst liar in the world?"
"Yes, actually. More than once."
Shane ran his fingers through his hair. "Okay then. Will you please tell me what's going on with you?"
"I just had a bad day."
The way she said it hinted that there was more to the story, and encouraged Shane to pursue the situation even more.
"Then let me help you get through it. What happened?"
Mitchie sighed, defeated. "Well, when I got to first period this morning, I had to sit by Anna. She's the queen bee of my school."
"Okay," Shane replied, "Continue."
"Well, she started saying some really awful stuff to me. She told me that she'd seen better clothes on a Raggedy Ann doll. Then she went on about how ugly my hair, and other stuff like that."
"I hoped you ignored her. None of that stuff is true, Mitchie."
"I did," she countered, "But then she started to talk about you."
Shane felt a little out of breath for a second. "What exactly did she have to say about me?"
Mitchie remained silent for a while, obviously trying to fight back tears. "She told me that you were just using me to revive your career. That I was a marketing technique, and that once our duet hit the airwaves, I would be nothing but a memory."
"But, Mitch, you know that's a lie. You've become one of my best friends. When it comes to you, career revival is the last thing on my mind."
"I know. It just ruined my day, though. I needed to hear your voice."
Shane smiled. "Well, I'm glad you called. I miss you."
"I miss you too."
There was a comfortable silence between the two before Shane spoke again. "Hey Mitch, can I get your opinion on something? I think it might make you feel better."
"Of course."
"Okay, well, I wrote this song, and I'm not sure if it's any good. Will you tell me what you think?"
Mitchie smiled on the other end. "I'd love to."
Shane picked up his guitar and started playing.
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
Shane cleared his throat before speaking again. "What did you think? It's just the chorus, but I'm working on it."
Mitchie was in shock, but managed to speak. "Shane, that was… beautiful. What inspired you to write that?"
"You."
Mitchie felt as if she was going to faint. "Me? What did I do to make you write that?"
He laughed heartily. "Mitch, I get inspired to write songs whenever I think about you. If I wrote down every song idea about you, I would have a novel."
Her breath hitched. "Really?"
"Really."
"That's really sweet, Shane. I don't know what to say. But I really love that song. Have Nate and Jason seen it yet?"
"Nah, not yet. I will, though. I'm glad you like it. Do you feel a little bit better?"
Mitchie grinned. "I feel a million times better. I guess I should let you go, though. You're probably super busy."
"Not exactly." Shane replied dryly.
"Well, it dinnertime for me, so I have to go. Sorry."
"Oh, okay," he said dramatically, "Goodbye, BFF Mitchie."
She giggled. "Goodbye, BFF Shane."
A/N:
So I know this wasn't as good as the first one, but I thought it
was okay. Anyway the timeline goes like this:
For the sake of the
story, Camp Rock was in July. Mitchie's school starts in August,
which is when the first chapter was.
I hope that clears thing up!
Anyway, please leave me your thoughts! I appreciate all of your feedback! :) Oh, and by the way, the song is "Fall for You" by Secondhand Serenade. It's my favorite song of the moment.
Review!
