Chapter Four- Not Gonna Break

Mitchie had gone back to her bedroom early the next morning her thoughts still back on Nate and her conversation with Shane just after turning Nate down. She couldn't help but wonder what it was Shane wanted with her, because up till then they had avoided each other. So when she woke to the sound of beeping she assumed it was her alarm but when she looked at her bedside she realized it wasn't her alarm but Alex's phone. She looked over at her couch where he lay in a dead sleep. She

hesitantly checked the Caller ID and when she saw the name a wave of anger hit her.

Demi it read, as if one wasn't enough.

"Hello?" Mitchie asked the girl on the other line.

"Who is this?" The woman Mitchie could only assume was Demi asked.

"This is Mitchie, how can I help you?" Mitchie asked.

"Oh you're Alex's sister, he told me about you."

"Sister? I'm his girlfriend. I'm an only child sweetie."

"Girlfriend? Wait he's cheating on me." Demi said a depressing tone entering her voice that made it impossible for Mitchie to hate her.

"No, sweetie. He's cheating on us, because before today I thought his other girls name was Samantha."

A sob erupted form the other end of the phone line.

"I'm sorry." Mitchie said.

"You don't have to be sorry, he played us both." The line went dead after that and Mitchie forced her self to get dressed before crawling into her bed to cry. She had let her heart get the best of her and now look at what happened. Her heart had betrayed her again and she wasn't about to let it happen again. She felt that she couldn't trust anyone, but as quick as the thought came Nate's face appeared in her mind. She wondered if he would try and save her form her misery, silently praying he would come through the door and throttle Alex. Her thoughts remained like this until Alex woke up and moved toward her. She growled silently as he reached out to touch her.

"Hey you okay?" Alex asked in what was supposed to be concern but Mitchie could her the falseness of it now.

"Don't touch me!" Mitchie cried slapping his hands away.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Alex snapped anger evident on his face.

Mitchie grabbed the phone and tossed it at him, and had to fight a smirk as it collided with the side of his head. He glanced at the phone and back at her.

"WHO THE FUCK IS DEMI?" Mitchie yelled so loud she was sure everyone could hear her..

Alex stuttered but Mitchie continued on her verbal attack.

"BETTER YET WHO THE HELL IS SAMANTHA!" Mitchie asked tossing the chain at him.

Alex struggled for a way to explain but Mitchie just shook her head before she shoved him out of her way before storming out of the room.

Dana noticed Mitchie and her boyfriend arguing as they made their way through the camp. Mitchie was yelling as he followed in her wake. Her voice was attracting attention form the Camp Rockers across the Lake.

"Leave her!" Dana cried stepping in between Alex and Mitchie.

"You stay the fuck out of this!" Alex snapped shoving her aside to get to Mitchie.

Dana felt her self slam against the trunk of a tree and cried out in pain as the bark cut into her left arm and her elbow burned form the impact.

"What the hell is your problem!" Mitchie cried moving to help her but Alex grabbed her.

Mitchie swung around and with her opened hand smacked Alex across the face. He reeled back in shock and put a hand up to his face Dana stood and pulled Mitchie toward the nearest activity cabin, where she found two shocked campers hiding. Dana watched as Mitchie turned to hold off Alex as She turned to deal with the scared teens. Dana knew one of them to be Selena Rivera and that made the other Katy Jenson.

"Listen to me Selena, run to Camp Rock. Find Nate and tell him what's going on." Dana said as Alex and Mitchie yelled at each other through the door. Alex demanding entry and Mitchie demanding he leave.

"Go Now!" Dana said pointing at the window.

Nate stood outside a cabin with several of his instructors when he spotted a girl running toward them.

"Mr. Grey!" She cried as she approached him.

All the adults turned to look at her and she gasped for breath before she cried in a panicked voice.

"!" Selena yelled.

Nate blinked at the young girl before him and smiled before placing a hand on her shoulder and crouched down so he was on eye level with her.

"Slow down, and tell me again. Slowly." Nate said.

The girl from Mitchie's camp took a breath and spoke again.

"Mitchie and Miss. Turner are being attacked by someone! He and Mitchie were fighting and then Miss. Turner stepped in between them to try and stop the fight but he pushed her into a tree really hard. She's was bleeding and when Mitchie tried to help her the man grabbed her. Mitchie Slapped him and then she and Miss Turner hid in the Drum Cabin. " Selena said.

Nate's smile vanished as he motioned for Peggy to take the girl away.

"Shane put the camp on lock down, I don't want them seeing this. Ella call the Cops and try and get Brown here." Nate ordered before taking off toward Camp Star, Caitlyn and Tess on his heels.

Mitchie jumped back as Alex slammed his fist through the screen of the door and unlocked it. She knew he had a temper but to get this violent was absurd, she felt Dana pull her back toward the window and tried to jump out but a sharp pain at her scalp told her that Alex had grabbed her by the hair. She yelped as he pulled her off the causing her to fall off the window sill and to the wooden floor with a crash. She kicked his legs out form under him causing him to slam in chin into a drum.

"Whore!" Alex cried as he stood pulling her back to the ground and wrapping his hands around her neck.

Mitchie tried to gasp for air when she could no longer breath and her vision started to tunnel, she could see when Dana ran back into the room and punched Alex to try and free her. The relief was only momentary as he let go to shove Dana into a drum kit where she crumbled to the floor. Mitchie struggled to stay awake but the darkness was pressing in on her vision.

She heard a crash followed by the sudden rush of air entering her lungs as Alex's grip was broken suddenly. Mitchie coughed and moved toward Dana who smiled at her.

"The fuck is your problem!" Nate's voice cried form behind her followed by the sound of flesh pounding against flesh.

"Come on." Tess said as she helped Dana stand while Caitlyn helped Mitchie.

Mitchie turned to see Nate holding Alex as he tried to break free and go after her.

Nate held Mitchie's ex as he struggled to break free and go after her, he was about to slam him to the ground when he felt an elbow collide with his gut and the air rushed out of his lungs. Alex rushed toward Mitchie and Caitlyn but Tess placed herself in his way and punched the man dead in the eye causing him to fall to the floor.

"Get her out of here!" Nate called dragging Alex to his feet and punching him as he tried to break free again.

Nate grunted as Alex's fist collided with his face and he fell backward into some rocks. Nate stood and kneed him in the groin before slamming his elbow into the back on the man's head causing him to fall.

He felt a sting on his lip and licked it only to taste blood.

He looked up to see Caitlyn comforting Mitchie and Tess checking over Dana's injuries. He looked past them when Ella appeared with the Cops in toe and pointed at Alex's groaning form.

The cops took statements from everyone and had Dana treated for her injuries before they hauled Alex away. One of the officers approached Nate before walking away form the Camp grounds.

"She's lucky you know." The officer said.,

"What do you mean?" Nate asked.

"Alexander is wanted by the FBI for beating his ex-girlfriend into a coma. He gets a kick out of hitting them."

Nate glanced over at Mitchie and thanked the officer before taking Mitchie and looking over her wounds.

"You okay?" He asked.

Mitchie looked at him and burst into tears as she clung to him tightly.

"I was so scared." She whispered into his ear.

"Shhh. It's okay, we're all okay." Nate whispered rubbing her back gently.

"Come on." Nate said leading Mitchie toward Camp Rock.

Shane greeted his Uncle at the gates to the camp.

"Shane what happened?" Brown asked when the two of them reached him.

"Mitchie's boyfriend when crazy, injured Dana and tried to kill Mitchie." Shane explained.

"Did any of the Campers see this? Brown asked.

"Thankfully only two, the rest where no where near the scene. Nate's already called both their parents and explained the situation." Shane explained as they walked toward his cabin.

"And Mitchie is she okay?" Brown asked.

"She's fine. She's been crying since the Cops left." Shane told Mitchie's worried mother.

"Knowing Mitchie she won't talk about it to anyone anyway. What happened exactly Shane?"

"From what Tess and Caitlyn told me, Alex was choking Mitchie when Nate threw him off and Mitchie got away." Shane said.

"You can bunk in my room Uncle Brown and I'll stay with Jason tonight."

"Where's Mitchie?" Brown asked.

"Nate's taking care of her." Shane explained.

"Then we should leave her in Nate's care." Brown said with a heavy sigh.

Mitchie let out a final sob and wiped her tears away before look at Nate who had a worried expression on his face.

"Sorry." She said.

"You have nothing to be sorry for Mitchie." Nate said holding her chin so she had to look at him.

Mitchie frowned when she noticed his injured lip.

"You saved me." Mitchie said hugging him again, but pulled back when he winced and clutched his arm.

Mitchie frowned at him when she noticed the blood stain where his shoulder had hit the rocks.

"Your hurt, let me see." She said unbuttoning his shirt and pulling that arm out of it's sleeve.

A large but sallow cut ran across his arm, while his shoulder was a nasty shade of purple. Mitchie looked at the damage and frowned before walking over to his first aid it and pulled out the alcohol wipes and a bandage and moved back over to him. She wiped away the blood and placed the bandage over his cut. Nate Shivered when Mitchie's hand grazed his bare chest as she replaced his shirt.

"Thank you Nate." Mitchie said.

"You deserve better than him Mitchie. Don't let him break you again." Nate said.

Mitchie looked at Nate as she allowed his words to sink in.

"I'm not gonna break again Nate." Mitchie said.

"But?" Nate asked.

"But, I'm not ready to give away my heart yet." Mitchie said.

"I'm not telling you to give me your heart, I know your broken. I want you to give me the chance to prove to you that I do love you." Nate said placing a hand on her cheek.

Mitchie leaned into the touch as fresh tears ran down her face.

"I wish it was that easy. I need time Nate, please." She whispered before she stood to leave.

Nate grabbed her hand and stopped her.

"You stay here. I'll bunk on the couch.." Nate said with a smile.

Mitchie was to tired to argue and nodded before allowing Nate to help her remove her boots before she crawled into his bed.

Mitchie woke up early the next morning to the sun shining through the cabin windows. She smiled as she heard Nate's soft breathing form the couch. She inhaled deeply the unique smell that was Nate and smiled hugging his sheets tighter around herself. She eventually stood and walked out of the Cabin quietly before walking back to Camp Star. She was glade that most of her camp had gone to Camp Rock earlier yesterday. She looked over her bruised wrist and frowned, Nate had gotten injured trying to save her, so why was she so scared to be more than friends. Maybe that was the problem, she saw Nate as a friend and was more afraid to lose that friendship than Nate himself. Mitchie sighed in frustration as she walked toward her cabin and frowned when she spotted Alex's phone and the girls Chain still on her floor, she picked them up and walked back outside. She stood over the lake and chucked both items into it'd depths with a satisfied smile on her face.
