A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYHTING! I ONLY OWN THE PLOT! Just has to re-post this chapter with a change in the song titles down at the bottom. Thank you to ObsessedwithDisneyChannel for pointing out by mistake.
The next morning Mitchie woke up to her alarm clock and got ready to help her mom in the kitchen. Then she noticed Mary just sitting up in bed wide awake.
"Hey, what are you doing up?" Mitchie asked.
"Couldn't sleep. You?"
"I have to help my mom in the kitchen."
"Need an extra hand?"
"Always come on."
The two girls went to the kitchen.
"Wait out here I want to surprise my mom."
"Ok."
Mitchie went inside.
"Hey mom."
"Hey baby. Can you start cracking some eggs for me." Connie answered.
"Yep, but first I have a surprise for you."
"For me?"
Yep," Mitchie leaned back a little so she could be heard outside. "Come in."
Mary walked inside and Connie screamed and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Oh my gosh Mary! It's so amazing to see you again. What's going on? How are you? What are you doing here?"
"Whoa one question at a time mom." Mitchie giggled.
"I'm doing fine and I'm here with my boyfriend Joey Parker." Mary said as she was released from the bone cracking hug.
"It's so good to see you again honey."
"You too Aunt Connie. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch. Dominique was really strict about who I was allowed contact with."
"It's all right. We still love you. Are you here to help?"
"Yep, what can I do?"
"Well Mitchie's going to be cracking the eggs so you can start making the pancake batter?"
"Sure."
Everyone got to work talking as they did so. They were making up for lost time.
"Wow Mary you're good at that and fast to." Connie noticed.
"I've gotten very good at cooking and fast when I was with Dominique."
"You make it sound like you were her maid her something." Mitchie joked.
Mary stopped mixing the batter and looked down. Mitchie noticed her grow quiet.
"What's wrong?"
"I wasn't very honest before Mitchie. You know I was forced to move in with Dominique but what you don't know is that I was forced to work as her maid. I lost all confidence in myself and became really shy. Even now when people find out I worked as a maid they treat me different and taunt me about it. That's why I didn't talk much to the others about my past."
"You thought they'd make fun of you?"
"Yeah, everyone else did. So I figured why wouldn't they?"
"They wouldn't do that. They aren't like that. You can trust them. But since we are being honest I should tell you that I wasn't honest with you before either. My parents got a divorce last year. My father cheated on my mother with another woman. We hardly speak anymore."
"Uncle Steve? Oh my gosh that's crazy. I'm sorry Mitchie. I know what it's like when your father leaves. How are you?"
Mitchie shrugged. "I'm doing ok. I still can't believe it happen but I'm dealing with it."
"Who else knows?"
"Shane and his brothers. I haven't told anyone else yet."
"You're too scared?"
"Yeah, how'd you guess."
"I guess even after all these years I can still read you like an open book."
They shared a hug before going back to cooking.
"So who is this Tess Tyler everyone is talking about?" Mary asked.
"She's TJ Tyler's daughter. We got off to a rough start but we are friends now. You can trust her." Mitchie answered.
"How come she isn't here?"
"Actually I don't know. I guess she is not coming."
"I wonder why."
Mitchie shrugged. They continued to cook and help Connie before she allowed them to go and meet up with the others.
As they were sitting eating breakfast Tess walked over to them.
"I'm so sorry I'm late guys. Did I miss anything?"
"No, not really. Just meet my friend Mary. Mary this is Tess Tyler."
"Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you."
"You as well."
Tess sat down and ate her lunch with her friends.
"So Mitchie tell me more about you. Is this your first year at Camp Rock."
"Yeah, I'm here with my boyfriend Joey Parker. I've always been into dancing because of my mom and have always dreamed about coming here now I finally get to."
"That's great. You are going to love it here."
"Thanks, what about you. I heard your TJ Tyler's daughter. What's that like?"
"Nothing special. My mom and I hardly speak, whenever I call her she is busy but I am popular because of it and can easily get what I want."
"Sounds great."
"Is it."
The girls continued to laugh and talk all through breakfast. As Mary laughed and talked with them she started to feel more comfortable around them. She was starting to think maybe Mitchie was right. Maybe she could trust them. She could also tell by look on Mitchie's face that she was thinking about telling her friends the truth too.
"Mitchie I hope you have something amazing for the beach jam because I have nothing." Caitlyn said.
"Oh I have lots of ideas. I even planned ahead and have an idea for the Pajama Jam too." Mitchie smiled.
"What's a beach jam and pajama jam?" Mary asked.
"Beach Jam is when we sing only it's on the beach by the water and the pajama jam is where we get to just hang out and sing but can do it in our pajamas." Mitchie explained
"Sounds like fun."
"Are you going to sing?" Tess asked.
"I don't know I'll have to talk to Joey about it. But if he doesn't have any plans I'll sing. I've got some songs to share."
"You should, it's a lot of fun."
"I'll ask Joey. Where is he anyWAY!" The last part came out as a squeal as she felt someone poke her sides. Mitchie let out a shocked squeal as well when Joey and Shane came over to them and sat down.
"So ask me what?" Joey wondered.
"Do you have any plans for the Beach Jam or Pajama Jam?" Mary asked.
"No, I don't even know what that is."
"Their music Jams. One is at the beach and one is in our pajamas." Shane laughed.
"Should have figured that." Joey laughed.
"Would you be mad if I did a song or two without you?" Mary asked.
"No of course not. Go and have fun."
"Thanks Joey, so how was class?"
"It was ok. None of the girls could focus on dancing because they were too busy staring at me."
"Welcome to the club Bro." Shane laughed.
"And how many girls are staring at you may I ask?" Mitchie teased.
"Relax, I don't stare back. I only have eyes for you." Shane laughed.
"Yeah I only have eyes for you." Joey said.
"Nice save." Mitchie laughed.
"You better make sure those girls know you have a girlfriend otherwise they will be very, very sorry." Mary warned.
Everyone just laughed.
"So when is this beach jam?" Mary asked.
"Tonight after dinner." Mitchie answered."And the pajama jam is tomorrow night after dinner."
"We should start getting ready now." Mary said.
"Oh come on how long does it take you girls to get ready?" Joey asked.
Everyone just looked at each other.
"Never mind. Don't answer that." Joey added.
Everyone laughed and the girls got up and left to get ready.
"I will never understand girls." Joey laughed.
"Neither will I." Shane laughed.
Later on that evening everyone was sitting on a log clapping along with one of the singers. Just having fun.
"All right who wants to jam next?" Dee asked.
Mitchie stood up. "We'll go." She said.
She and her friends went up on stage. "This is another song I wrote about…about someone who hurt me."
"I know a guy
He puts the color inside of my world
But he's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on his steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters.
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without the warmth from
A womans good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too (x3)"
Everyone clapped and cheered as they song ended. "Thanks everyone." Mitchie climbed off the stage and sat back down next to Shane. She cuddled into his side.
"No matter how many times I sing songs about him it never gets easier." She whispered.
"It will get easier I promise" Shane gave her a kiss on the head.
"Who wants to go next?" Dee asked.
"Go on, Show them what you've got." Joey smiled.
Mary got up and went onto the stage. "This is a song I wrote about my boyfriend Joey Parker."
"How you choose to express yourself
Its all your own and I can tell
It comes naturally,
it comes naturally
You follow what you feel inside,
It's intuitive, you don't have to try,
It comes naturally,
It comes naturally
And it takes my breath away
What you do, so naturally
You are the thunder and I am the lightning,
And I love the way you know who you are,
And to me it's exciting,
When you know it's meant to be,
Everything comes naturally,
It comes naturally,
When you're with me baby,
Everything comes naturally,
It comes naturally,
(Ba-Ba-Baby)
You have a way of moving me,
A force of nature, your energy,
It comes naturally,
(You know it does,)
It comes naturally,
(Oh yeah)
And it takes my breath away (Everytime)
What you do, so naturally
You are the thunder and I am the lightning,
And I love the way you know who you are,
And to me it's exciting,
When you know it's meant to be,
Everything comes naturally,
It comes naturally,
When you're with me baby,
Everything comes naturally,
It comes naturally,
(Ba-Ba-Baby)
When we collide, sparks fly
When you look in my eyes,
it takes my breath away
(You are) You are the thunder and I am the lightening
And I love the way you know who you are
And to me it's exciting
When you know it's meant to be
Everything comes naturally,
it comes naturally
When youre with me, baby
Everything comes naturally,
it comes naturally
Ba-Ba-baby
Naturally (x5)
Ba-Ba-baby
Naturally (x5)
Everything baby comes naturally"
Everyone screamed and cheered as the song ended. Mary smiled and climbed off the stage to join her friends. She felt even better than she did last night. She opened up and told Mitchie the truth and that made her feel so much better. Now all she needed to do was get the courage and tell the others about her past and the summer would be perfect but could she do it?
A/N the songs I used here "Daughters" by John Mayer and Selena Gomez "Naturally". Next chapter Mary finally opens up about her past. Will something happen that will cause her to regret it?
