Hey, sorry for taking so long to upload a new chapter but here it is. i'll try to post more often. sorry if it's get confusing when the songs come on but it's the easiest way i know. hope you enjoy
It was the morning of the second day at Camp Rock. All the campers had gotten up and headed to the mess hall for breakfast. Mitchie, Aly, and Caitlyn sat together.
"Hey check it out. It looks like Barron and Peggy might be a new thing" Mitchie said.
The girls looked over and saw Barron sitting and talking with Peggy. They seemed to be together but there was something wrong. Barron would get close to Peggy but she would back away from him.
"He's trying but she's not budging." Caitlyn said.
"What do you mean?" Mitchie asked.
"She heard about you and Shane. Now she knows better than to try to date a superstar."
"Superstar?" Mitchie asked.
Aly looked closely at Barron, feeling like she recognized him from somewhere.
"Yeah I know him. Didn't he just get a huge recording contract?" Aly said.
"Barron?" Mitchie said; confused by what she just heard. "I haven't heard anything about him."
"That's because all you listen to is Shane Gray news" Aly said as she took a bite out of her breakfast.
"That's not true." Mitchie said, in a voice that hinted it was.
Ella then came and sat down with the girls. They greeted each other and continued to eat their breakfast.
"So Aly, where did you head off to last night?" Caitlyn asked.
Aly was a bit surprised at the question because she hadn't realized that anyone heard her leave.
"What?" She replied.
"I heard you take off and then you came back like 20 minutes later."
Aly didn't know what to say. She didn't want to tell the girls she was out with Nate because she knew what they would think of it.
"Um, I was so excited about the sit down that I couldn't sleep and I went to take a walk outside." Aly said. Technically she wasn't lying; all she just left out the part about Nate.
"Were you the one I heard singing outside with Nate last night?"
Aly closed her eyes and hoped that Ella hadn't just said that.
"What?"
"You were with Nate?"
"I might have run into him on my walk" Aly said.
"…and sang with him" Ella added.
"What did you guys sing?" Mitchie asked.
"Nothing; I mean I caught him in the mist of finishing writing a song and he played it for me."
"No way!" Caitlyn said.
"What is the big deal?" Aly asked.
"Aly, for Nate to have trusted you with being the first person to hear a new song, is a huge thing." Mitchie said. "I mean you heard it before his band mates. Don't you think he's trying to tell you something?"
Aly shrugged her shoulders. She did feel that maybe Nate was trying to give Aly a hint that he liked her but she didn't want to jump to conclusions. Because every time she thought of Nate and her being a possible couple, she remembered Dana.
"I heard some of the song it was so cute, it went like 'I'm afraid unless you're catching me'"
"It was 'I'm not afraid to fall, if you're the one who catches me'" Aly said, correcting Ella.
The girls 'Awww'd'
"Shut up it was nothing" Aly said, no longer being able to hold in a smile.
The girls continued to tease Aly about her and Nate, not realizing that Tess was sitting close to them hearing their conversation. Tess had become friends with Dana in an attempt to get closer to Shane. After she heard that Shane and Mitchie broke up she decided she would use the fact that Nate and Dana became close, and she would try to get close to Shane. After listening to their conversation Tess gave a smirk and left, eager to tell Dana what she had just heard.
Later in the day, after breakfast was over, Aly began to head towards the sit down. As she was waking she passed by a cabin that she recognized based on Mitchie's description of the camp. Mitchie had told her that in her first year at Camp Rock she found a piano in a cabin where she played one of her songs. Aly looked into the cabin and sure enough, the piano was there. Aly saw that she had a few minutes before the sit down and she stepped into the cabin. She walked to the piano and stroked the smooth brown wood. Aly sat down on the bench and opened the piano. She placed her hands on the keys and began to play.
I was thinking about ya
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
I like you like shooting stars
I write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror
I know, I know, he's gotta be out there, out there
I know I know he's gotta be...
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say?
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner,
See my future in a beautiful face?
Maybe
He's anything but typical
A sweet surprise
No matter what, he's looking at the bright side
It's gonna be worth it
Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
Nate was on his way to the sit down when he heard a piano being played and a song being sung. He walked over to the cabin that Aly was in.
I know, I know, he's gotta be out there, out there
know, I know, he's gotta be...
Nate looked through the window and saw Aly playing the piano and singing. He stayed watching her and was careful not to be seen by her.
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say?
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner,
See my future in a beautiful face?
Maybe
They say give it time
Give it time, and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when
And why I haven't met you
But maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Is he the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner,
See my future in a beautiful face?
Maybe
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is he the one? Is it today?
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect.
Aly closed the piano lid and smiled. Nate smiled as well and began to once again head towards the sit down. Aly checked her watch and realized she had to go head towards the sit down. She got up and began walking again.
Nate ran to the sit down to make sure Aly didn't realize he was watching her. A few of the new campers were there; all of them nervous to sing in front of people but hoping to get their courage up. Not too far from the sit down was Dana watching Nate hoping that Aly wouldn't show up. Tess suddenly snuck up behind Dana, making her jump.
"You'll never guess what I heard during breakfast" Tess said, in a very eager voice.
"You just love to gossip don't you Tess?" Dana replied in a not so eager voice.
"It's about Mitchie's cousin Aly"
"Now I really don't want to know" Dana said after letting out a sigh of disgust.
"It's also about Nate"
Dana's face went from disgusted to interested.
"What did you hear?"
Tess laughs at Dana's turn of mood.
"Ok so apparently, last night, Aly and Nate were together by the lake and they were singing a song that Nate had just written."
"…for her?" Dana asked.
"I don't know. But I did hear it was a romantic song. I suggest you talk to that girl before she gets any closer to him."
Tess was pretending to care whether Dana ended up with Nate, when in reality all she wanted was to be with Shane.
"I did talk to her. Sort of." Dana said. She was now a little upset at hearing what Tess had just told her.
"No you told her to stay away from rock stars. You need to tell her to stay away from your man"
"But he's not my man."
"Then make him your man." Tess Said. "That way she'll have to stay away."
"I don't know Tess."
"You had dibs on him first. Trust me he is totally yours. Listen, later the sit down go talk to him and talk about all the fun you guys had last year and pretty soon you two will be together."
"You think" Dana said, with a little hope in her voice.
"Absolutely" Tess said, satisfied with how convincing she can be.
It was time for the sit down to begin and Aly wasn't there yet. Nate was looking around waiting for her.
"Hey Nate ready to start?" Jason said.
"Um…" Nate kept looking around for Aly, not wanting to start without her. "Just one more minute. Maybe more people will show up."
Just then Nate saw Aly walking towards them. He smiled. Jason saw his smile and realized who Nate wanted to wait for.
"Alright she's here now can we start?"
Nate turned around surprised.
"What? Who?" Nate said, trying to play it off.
Jason just gave a look that said I know.
"We should start now" Nate said as he walked away.
Aly took a seat next to the other new campers and they were all circled around Nate and Jason.
"Alright new campers" Jason said. "Gather round take a seat and welcome to Camp Rock."
The campers clapped and cheered excitedly.
"Alright well this is the first year we have this sit down. It was something we wanted to try out to help new campers loosen up a bit. Here's how it works; you guys will come up to the middle of the circle, say your name, and then show us what you got. Whether you sing, play an instrument or dance. Got it, who's first?"
The campers were nervous and no one raised their hand. They all looked around to see if anyone was brave enough to start.
"Anyone?" Nate asked as he looked at Aly, hoping she would start. Aly looked at him and shook her head,
Nate was confused as to why Aly wouldn't start since she sang her song on the first day, and she sang a song with him.
"Ok I get it you're all nervous. Well let's do this. We're going to play a song and together we will sing the harmony of it. Ok?"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
Nate walked over to a stereo and music began to play.
"You guys now this song right?"
Everyone nods. Together they began to harmonize the background vocals of the song.
Campers: ooh ah ooh ah
Then Aly decided to sing the verse. Once she started to sing, everyone looked her way.
Aly:
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh
Nate decided to sing the next verse. Once he began to sing, everyone looked his way.
Nate:
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
Nate walks towards Aly.
Aly:
But how do you expect me
To live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you Nate extends his hand out to Aly. Aly takes his hand.
It's so hard for me to breathe Nate helps Aly up and they begin to sing together
Nate and Aly:
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
Everyone gets out of the circle and begins to walk towards the stage. The group begins to attract a crowd.
(Campers harmonizing)
(No air, air)
Aly: no
(No air, air)
Nate: no
(No air, air)
Aly: no
(No air, air)
Nate: He began to step on the stage
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real
Aly: She began to step onto the stage as well.
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care
The campers began to step onstage and crowd behind Aly and Nate
Nate and the campers harmonizing (Aly):
But how (how)do you expect me (me)

Nate and Aly began to get closer and closer as they sang.
Campers(aly) [Nate]:

Can't live, can't breathe with no air
(no no)
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there

Aly and Nate were now looking into each other's eyes as they sang. Nate took Aly's hand.
Aly: Got me out here in the water so deep
Nate: Tell me how you gonna be without me
Aly: If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
Aly and Nate: There's no air, no air
(No air, air)
Aly: no

Nate: no air
(No air, air)
Aly: no
(No air, air)
Aly: No air
Aly and Nate: No air
As the song ended the crowd cheered. Alt and Nate turn to the crown. Nate, still holding Aly's hand, lifts it up and then they take a bow together. Nate looks at Aly and smiles. Aly smiles back at him. Everyone was happy about the performance except from Dana who watched the whole thing with a very upset face. Dana realized that if she wanted to get Nate back, she would have to do it fast, just like Tess had said.
