Hello again. I think this story is going to be about 10 – 15 chapters, so just bear with me as I write it. I might get sidetracked, but I will always come back so I can finish it for the people that want to know what happens.

The first part of this chapter is going to be in Mitchie's point of view, but then it changes to Shane's point of view. I will let you know when that happens.

As always, I do not own the Camp Rock characters.

She was there…well not there yet, but in another fifteen minutes they would be pulling into the parking lot at Camp Rock.

She never really thought that she would be going back. She thought that her parents would make her stay home; especially after all she had been through during that school year. But they had shocked her, by making her go this summer.

Last summer she was all about going, psyched when she found out that her mom had gotten the job in the kitchen just so she could go. This summer she prayed that her parents would forget about it, but then the letter came in the mail.

The letter reminding her that she had a spot, if she wanted it. She didn't want it, but before she knew it her mom called Brown and told him that she would be coming back.

She looked over to her mom as she passed the sign telling them they were a mile from Camp Rock. She wondered what her mom was thinking about, since they hadn't spoken the entire car ride. But she wouldn't have to wait for long, because after they pulled into the parking lot she turned the car off and turned to her.

"Mitchie, I know you don't want to be here this summer. But, your dad and I think this would be good for you." She rolled her eyes, but her mother continued. "I don't know what happened this year, and I am sorry you didn't want to talk to me, but maybe you will find someone to talk to while you are here."

"Mom…I don't really care about making friends this summer."

"I know. Brown doesn't expect you to become buddy-buddy with anyone. I talked to him…"

"What do you mean you talked to him?! What the hell did you tell him?"

"Mitchie…watch your language. I didn't tell him anything. All I said was you had a bad year, and even though you were coming to camp it wasn't your decision to be there. I told him that your father and I were kind of forcing you to be here."

"What did he say? I know he couldn't have been thrilled."

"He understood."

"Whatever. Later mom."

Mitchie didn't even wait for an answer before jumping out of the car. She walked to the trunk and grabbed her bags. Her mom had gotten out saying bye, and she quickly gave Mitchie a small hug and kiss before climbing back into her car and driving off.

Standing there, surrounded by the laughing and shouting kids that wanted to be there, Mitchie felt more alone than ever. Pulling her jacket around her she grabbed her room assignment and went to find her cabin.

She was so lost in herself that she didn't notice the brown set of eyes that were watching her from the tree line.

Shane's point of view

He hadn't heard from Mitchie all year, even though he had sent her numerous emails and called her once a day. He didn't know what happened to her, but knew it must have been something serious.

He knew that Nate and Jason hadn't been able to get in touch with her either. He hadn't been really surprised at hearing that, though. He knew that she didn't know them that well and she could be ignoring them just because.

But when he heard that she hadn't talked to Caitlin or Peggy or Ella and even Tess he began to get really worried. They had all told him that they had sent her many emails and hadn't responded to any of them.

Then the final straw happened when the emails began shooting back at them. MAILER DEMON: ADDRESS UNKNOWN. She had changed her email address and hadn't let any of them know. That's when he knew that something was really wrong, but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what it might have been.

When Uncle Brown called him about coming back this summer he was going to say no, thinking that Mitchie wouldn't be there. But then changed his mind, knowing that even if she wasn't there he could still have some fun.

When he got the called from Brown that Mitchie was going to be there, he was ecstatic. Until Brown told him what her mother had said.

She doesn't play guitar anymore.

She doesn't eat.

She doesn't care about anything.

I think she is hurting herself, but I don't know.

He kept replaying those sentences over and over in his mind. What could have happened that had changed her that much? Who had hurt her that bad?

Connect 3 had arrived three days before the other campers to help Brown set everything up. After working hard all day they were ready for everyone to arrive.

Shane was sitting in his cabin when he heard the vehicles pulling into the lot. Grabbing his camera he hurried out of the cabin, wanting to take some pictures of the campers as they arrived.

He began to wonder if Mitchie was actually going to come to Camp Rock this year. He had been sitting on a bench watching the kids, as they met up with old friends, unpacked cars and telling their parents goodbye.

Deciding she wasn't coming he started to make his way back to his cabin. He got as far as the tree line when he noticed a car pulling into the parking lot. He didn't notice the passenger, but saw that it was Connie. She was the cook from last year, and he knew that she was Mitchie's mother.

Watching as the passenger got out of the car, he was shocked when he recognized her. Or at least he thought he knew who it was. When she turned around, Shane felt like he had been hit by a truck.

She was dressed all in black, including her beautiful brown hair. Who the hell had she gotten her parents to agree to her dyeing her hair? He noticed that she was also wearing sleeves, even though it was muggy and almost unbearable to him and he was wearing a short sleeved shirt.

He saw that she never looked around, but kept looking straight ahead. He wondered if maybe it was because she wanted to find her cabin, but realized she probably didn't want anyone to stop her.

She doesn't want anyone to talk to her? She is basically ignoring everyone around her.

She had changed so much in the past year, he could see that much. Her entire demeanor had drastically changed; gone was the vibrant girl and in her place was an angry teenager.

A/N: how long do you think it takes before Shane tries to talk to Mitchie?? Do you think Caitlin is here yet?? What happens when everyone bumps into one another??

Dum-dum-dum-DUM!!!!
