AN- you guys are amazing! Your reviews make me smile every time. Enjoy chapter 4!

--

I touched my lips still in a state of shock. I looked at my watch trying to get my mind off of what had just happened. "Time for kitchen duty" I muttered to myself.

I ran to my cabin and layed down my guitar and book. I noticed Peggy and Ella were gone, probably mingling with some old friends. But I also noticed Whitney sleeping as dead as a rock over on her bed.

I stared at her, examining her for the first time.

She truly was beautiful; I could see why Shane chose her. He always seemed to choose girls with beauty; I found that out on the Internet after camp rock last summer.

And that's the moment I realized I was a stalker.

No im just kidding, but I felt like one earlier as I was researching him.

I put my mind back to Whitney and studied her.

Her dark brown straight her hung slightly below her shoulders and her side bangs swept to one side of her face and they were tucked behind her ear.

She was wearing a lime green tank top and short denim blue shorts.

Her jaw line looked like it was softer than anything possible, and it was defined so well the sun seemed to beam off of it.

She was mad skinny, and her teeth looked whiter the snow and they seemed to fill her mouth perfectly.

I felt a huge rush of jealousness run across my body. She was like an angel fallen from heaven made just for Shane.

But then as I examined her one more time I noticed something, a similarity.

Where did I recognize her?

I scratched my head and accidentally messed up my ponytail. "Oops."

I said taking my hair out. I walked over to the mirror and looked at myself and then it hit me.

I looked back at Whitney.

She looked like me.

Just prettier.

We were both wearing a tank top. We had the same shorts. We had the exact same haircut, and hair color. We had matching mouth structures. It seemed as though she had everything I had except more definite and more beautiful. But she had one thing I would never have.

Shane.

I sighed and looked back in the mirror. I put my hair back in a ponytail. It always seemed like I was second best in this world.

I ran to the kitchen and put on my apron, "sorry I'm late." I muttered to my mother.

"Only by 5 minutes, so you're safe this time." My mother kissed my forehead. "Now go cut the carrots with Caitlyn! There's tons of carrots to be cut, and only two of you." She tapped my shoulder and pointed to Caitlyn.

"I don't think ill ever be able to look at carrots the same. I cut over 200 carrots in like 5 minutes!" she screamed and pointed to the bowl of cut carrots.

I laughed, "well Caitlyn, id say that's about...5 carrots you cut. And we have about 200 more." I laughed getting a knife and starting to cut the carrots.

About 150 carrots later my hand was so sore I thought I couldn't even feel it.

Oh how I thought wrong.

I felt a strong sharp sting through my thumb.

"OWWWWWWWWW!" I screamed in a high pitch voice.

"Mitch, are you okay." Caitlyn said looking up from her carrot.

"No." I said sticking my bleeding thumb in front of her face.

"Holy schnitzel." Caitlyn shrieked and dragged my thumb over to the sink. "Conferee!" Caitlyn screamed.

"What is it, are you ready for the next assignment?" my mom said walking and wiping her forehead. She looked at my thumb immediately. "Jesus! Mitchie, what did you do!"

"I cut my thumb with the knife. Did I lose my thumb." I mumbled in pain, not planning on looking at the blood pouring from my thumb, due to the fact that I would let out a shriek louder than anything on this earth.

"Relax Mitch, its just a little cut that'll need a few stitches."

"Stitches." I repeated and grunted. "well, lets go to the nurse ASAP and get me some pain relievers it freaking hurts!"

"Caitlyn you can go with her. I still have plenty to do before dinner." my mom grabbed my shoulder. "Mitchie, whatever you do, don't look at your thumb. We both now how you get when you look at an obnoxious amount of blood."

I nodded, "get back to work mom. Ill is fine."

Caitlyn grabbed a towel. "Lets run and get you stitched up," she said wrapping it around my thumb.

--

The nurse told me to just sit still and not look at my thumb.

I accepted her wish and looked up at Caitlyn who was observing the every move of the nurse.

"Caitlyn, you seem very well handled with blood and such." I stated to try to get my mind off the sharp shooting pain.

"Well, my mothers a doctor, so I've grown up around this kind of stuff. I find it all so fascinating. But no worries, I will always want to be a music producer, I don't like what the doctors have to wear."

We both laughed.

I heard faint footsteps up the stairs get louder, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Come on in." the nurse, said not taking her sight away from my thumb.

I saw Shane and Whitney walk in hand in hand. Shane was looking directly at Whitney and kissed her forehead. "Um do you have some Tylenol? My girlfriend has a terrible headache." he said not taking his sight off of Whitney.

I looked at Whitney whose face was bright red and there was sweat rolling down her forehead.

"It'll be a minute, incase you couldn't tell im in the middle of something, and it cant be held off." the nurse mumbled.

Shane and Whitney head snapped up looking directly at the nurse, Caitlyn, and me.

"Mitchie, what happened to you." Whitney mumbled trying to se over my shoulder.

"No worries, just a little cut. You really should lie down. You look dehydrated." I said looking apologetic. She honestly did look like she was ready to fall over and pass out. I tried to give her a smile. After all, I had no reason to be rude of her. Jealousy, never overpowered friendliness. But it did, seeing her holding shames hand made a knot in my stomach.

"She not dehydrated, Mitchie. Any way's, did anyone even ask you." Shane snipped back.

"Shane, shut up." Caitlyn said looking at him rudely. "You have no reason to talk to Mitchie like that. She was trying to help."

"Hey Caitlyn, hers a thought. Butt out. Go make out Nate or something." he said giving Caitlyn one of the nastiest looks had ever seen in my life.

"Shane!" Whitney tried to yell. "Stop talking to my friends like that."

"They're your...friends?" he muttered. "Pathetic friends."

"You know what. Your a pathetic arrogant pop star." I said slamming my fist down on the chair.

"And Mitchie you have no reason to talk to him like that either!" Whitney said looking back and forth at all 3 of us.

"Your stitches are finished." the nurse mumbled. I nodded and smiled, "thanks."

Caitlyn returned shame the evil look, "what happened to you."

"Change. Change happened to me."

"You need to find a way to UN change. You did last summer. Why cant you now." I mumbled taking caitlyn's arm and dragging her out the door with me.

Whitney looked at Shane. "Shane I don't feel so good."

I heard her mumble behind me.

And then I heard a hard thud on the floor.

We both spun around at the same time to see Whitney on the floor shaking, having slight foam coming from her mouth, as her eyes rolled in the back of her head.

"Whit!" I heard Shane scream.

I covered my mouth and turned around disgusted at the sight.

Whitney was having a seizure right in front of our very eyes.

"Get out of here." Shane mumbled.

"Excuse me?" Caitlyn looked at Shane in disbelief at his rudeness.

"Now you understand why I freak out when she gets sick alright. Because im worried that something like this will happen again." he said looking down at Whitney.

-Something like this will happen again- those words were ringing in my head. This must have been a reparative thing that freaked Shane out every time.

"Get out!" he repeated this time even louder. I took a look at the pain in his eyes.

It must kill him each time he saw her body breakdown like that.

I ran out of the nurse's cabin so quickly, I didn't even know my feet were moving.

I looked over at Caitlyn once we were a safe distance from the cabin.

We stood in a minute of silence.

"I don't know what to say." Caitlyn mumbled. "I feel like such a jerk."

"Shane got scared. So he took his anger out on us, that's not right." I tried to replay each moment.

"I don't know what to say." she repeated staring in a daze.

"Maybe, that's best."

--

Dinner had never been so silent in all of camp rock history. Our whole table sat in silence.

Peggy was the first to speak, "guys, please don't beat yourselves up over this."

Ella nodded, "whitens gonna be fine. We talked to Nate; he said she has seizures at least once a month. "

Caitlyn tried to give them a smile, "thanks girls. Were sorry if were quite. But speaking for both of us, I just think it was frightening."

"Foam from the mouth. Shaking like that; I can't even eat." I mumbled shoving my plate away from my face.

"It sounds scary." Ella agreed.

"And we've also never seen Shane flip out like that before." Caitlyn added softly.

"I would never have imagined Shane flipping out like that. Especially on you guys, and im so sorry he did." Nate said walking up sitting beside Caitlyn putting his arm around her.

I sighed, "Shane's changed."

"I miss the Shane you shaped him into." Jason added sitting next to me.

I felt a rush of cold air, the Shane I turned him into.

The perfect Shane I fell in love for.

But now, it seemed as though my feelings changed. I was almost scared of Shane. No one had ever snapped like that on me before. Too see the pain he went through almost felt like a knife going through my stomach. The knot in my stomach grew tighter, re imagining his face when he saw Whitney having the seizure. The knot felt so tight in my stomach I clenched on to my stomach.

"Mitch, are you okay?" Peggy looked at me concerned.

"Im fine." I lied. There was no reason to describe why Shane made me suffer so much pain.

But I knew the reason. I was in love with a man who didn't love me back.

--

It was midnight and we were all tired and strained.

Peggy, Ella, Caitlyn, and I sat in a circle on the cabin floor waiting for Whitney to come back.

I let out a huge yawn, "how much longer?" I said still yawning.

"Who knows."? Peggy said laying her head on Ella.

We heard small footsteps come up the stairs.

"Whitney?" Ella whispered.

"Hey guys, what are you doing up?" she said whispering too.

"Waiting for you. We wanted to make sure you were okay." Caitlyn stated standing up.

"Im perfectly fine. I promise. I guess I should have told you guys earlier, I have seizures sometimes." she smiled a little. "Dumb mistake on my half, but honestly. Caitlyn and Mitchie... shames a little overprotective when it comes to my health. That's why he flipped like that. And I truly am sorry, and I bet he is too."

"Where is Shane?" I said a little to quickly.

"I told him to go take some time to himself. He needed it. So he took his guitar and said he would see me in the morning." she shrugged. "That might not answer your question. But that's all I know." she shrugged.

I shot up quickly and ran over to my drawers. I took out my bathing suit and ran into the bathroom as quick as possible.

I quickly put my bathing suit on and took my hair down.

All four of them stared at me, "um. Where exactly are you going."?

I stopped for a minute. " I uh, need a shower."

They looked at each other and laughed, "alright. Whatever makes you happy? Were all going to sleep."?

"Okay. Goodnight. Ill is in the shower." I yelled running out of the cabin.

"Isn't that weird, she forgot soap." Ella stated looking at the shower bucket I had set out on my dresser holding all my shower things.

I heard Caitlyn clamp Ella's mouth shut. "Goodnight Ella."

I laughed and kept running.

I couldn't believe what I was about to do. I ran to the dock and I heard light strumming of a guitar out in the middle of a lake. "I know that boy a little too well."

I said before I slipped into the water making sure not to make too much noise.

I swam to the middle of the lake and clutched onto shames canoe.

"What the..." Shane gasped.

I pulled myself onto the canoe. "What a pleasant surprise." I said ringing out my hair and I sat down on the other side of the canoe.

"Mitchie. What in the WORLD are you doing?" he said his face looking so confused.

"I needed to talk to you. And I knew where to find you." I smiled little. He looked so cute with his little jacket and guitar. I shook those thoughts of my head; I came out here so we could come to a truce.

"Are you cold?" he asked me looking at me.

"Um...no.why?" i said confused.

"Its 58 degrees out here, and your in a very small bikini." he laughed a little.

"Oh." I took a minute to feel the air. " JESUS! It is cold!"

He took off his jacket and handed it to me, "it would look bad on my part if I was found with a dead girl with hypothermia on my canoe in a bikini, now wouldn't it?" he laughed.

I smiled; this was the Shane I knew. The one that was nice, cared about my feelings, and cracked little jokes.

"So why are you here again, I was kind of in the middle of writing a song." he said pointing to his guitar.

"I want to here the song." I stated flatly.

"Excuse me." he looked in my eyes.

"You heard me." I smiled. "Its cant be THAT bad, come on."

"Fine." he mumbled. "I can't find a good beat, but I wrote some lyrics. Only a couple of lines."

I nodded, "okay. Sing away pop star."

He rolled his eyes and started singing.

Until you're mine
I have to find
a way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
without you here by my side
until you're mine
not gonna be
even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine.

I blinked a couple of times. "That's a great song."

"I wrote it last year. After camp rock." he said looking down at his guitar. "I can't find the right words for the rest of the song." he rested his chin on his guitar.

"This may be out on a limb. But you could start off with something like...

My state of mind
has kind of got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'm trying to find
a way that I could get to you
I just wanna get to you.

He blinked a couple of times, "whoa. That fits perfectly."

"I know weird right?" I sighed. Its like we both had half of the song, and when we put it together it fit just like a puzzle piece. "Can I see your guitar."?

"Sure." he handed me his guitar.

I took in a deep breath and started playing the same beat I had played to Caitlyn on the phone, and the same beat I had been trying to write the amazing lyrics for.

And it seemed the lyrics just flowed now...

My state of mind
has kind of got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'm trying to find
a way that I could get to you
I just wanna get to you

The world I see is perfect now
you're all around
with you I can breath

Until you're mine
I have to find
a way to fill this hole inside
I've got to fight
without you here by my side
until you're mine
not gonna be
even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
mine

I handed him the guitar back, "wow I suck."

Shane looked at me as if I was some alien creature, "your amazing."

I smiled.

"I mean the song. You're playing. Its just all around amazing." he smiled.

"How amazing." I smiled.

Shane leaned in and kissed me, "that amazing."

We both had a straight face.

"Im such a freakin loser!" Shane threw his hands and dug his face in them.

"Your not a loser!" I blurted out.

"That's the second time vie kissed you! Which makes me a loser." Shane grunted.

"Ill take that as an insult." I sighed.

"No! Not like that. I mean... I have a girlfriend. That I love. And I just kissed another girl! Twice!"

"Shane, do you really love her?" I said looking him in the eyes.

He looked in my eyes for what seemed like forever.

He came over to me and grabbed my face and kissed me hard.

I kissed back, because that was my only reaction possible.

He leaned away, " I thought I loved her, until you popped back up in my life."

I sat there, not sure if I was supposed to say anything back.

Before I knew it we arrived back at the dock. We both got out of the boat in complete silence.

"I uh. Will see you tomorrow." I said walking away.

He grabbed my shoulder and turned me around "Do me a favor, don't tell anyone about our little canoe ride."

"I promise." I smiled and walked away.

--

I put my pajamas on a brushed my hair.

Everyone in the cabin was sleeping so I quietly took Shanes jacket and hung it at the end of my bed because it was wet. I looked at the clock.

2 are.

Yes defiantly my bedtime, I thought to myself and dozed off.

I woke up the next morning to the sound obnoxiously loud singing.

"ITS TEARING UP MY HEART WHEN IM WITH YOU. AND WHEN WE ARE APART I FEEL IT TOO--" all four girls were singing at the tops of their lungs.

"Ladies. Go back to sleep. Its like 4 are." I said shoving my head under my pillow.

Caitlyn started poking me everywhere, "come on! You already slept through breakfast!"

"I WHAT!" I screamed jolting up.

"Just kidding." they all giggled.

"You guys suck." I laughed and put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

Ella walked over to my bed, "Mitchie, what a cute jacket! Where'd you get it from?"

I almost panicked, "I uh got it at ehh."

"How weird, Shane has the same exact jacket. I love it. Its so comfortable." Whitney smiled walking over to the jacket. "But I can tell Shanes jacket apart from everyone else's. Because Shanes says property of Shane gray sewed in on the inside of the jacket.

Whitney opened up the jacket.

Property of Shane grey.

"Mitchie, why do you have shanes jacket?"

An- LONGGGG CHAPTER. I didn't like it. At all. I was at a major writing block. and this is how it turned outt. sorry that it stinks : . and I tried to spell check. But the spell check messed some word sup. So just bare with the terrible smelling and some wrong words.
