Sewing you back together again
Chapter 6 : Someone Like You
The front feild was full of kids all over the camp. Most dressed up in their performance outfits. The glitter and gold shone in the moonlight, and tiki posts as girls, and boys ran around, getting ready for their acts. Shane walked up to Brown, who was struggling to re-light a tiki post, and showed him the clip board.
"Uncle Brown, it says here that Caytlin is supposed to perform first.." Shane said sighing.
"Okay, I will call her up in a minute, hold on" Brown rolled his eyes before finally lighting the tiki post.
"No, No. She's not here." Shane said raising his eyebrows. "And apparently neither is your last act.."
"Well who's the last act Shane?" Brown said snatching the clip board out of his nephews hands. "Oh..."
"Yeah" Shane crossed his arms. "And how much do you wanna bet they're playing ditch in their cabin?"
"I guess you'll let me know the accuracy of that after you find out." Brown smirked devilishly.
"What!" Shane's eyes grew wide as Brown thrust the clipboard into Shane's chest. "I can't do that!"
"Not you're decision. I am the boss of you after all" Brown chuckled. "Never felt so good to be on top"
"Uncle Brown! Mitchie hates me right now, and I'm sure Caytlin is following her lead." Shane groaned.
"Sorry." Brown shrugged. "Guess it's the perfect time to fix things"
"Why don't you just send Tess?" Shane glared.
"Because she's practicing, now go! The show has to start in 5 minutes" Brown glanced at his watch.
Shane threw the clipboard back and brown and hurried in the direction of the girls cabin. Ashley soon walked up to Brown holding a broken mic. "Where's he's going?" She questioned fiddling with the mic.
"To get one of the acts .." He took a quick second glance at Ashley. "What In god's name are you doing?"
"Fixing this damn mic!" Ashley said. "I'm not really good with this music stuff. I'm more with stage"
"Remind me why you came to camp rock again?" Brown frowned taking the mic from her and examing it.
"For Shane." She shrugged happily. "We missed each other too much to just talk phone chat all summer"
"Right" Brown said bluntly ignoring her before walking away with the broken microphone.
Shane stomped up the steps of the cabin and knocked on the door. Caytlin hurried over, turning the knob and smiling brightly. "Hell- Oh.." She grimaced. "What do you want Grey?" Caytlin questioned, snarling.
"I came to see Mitchie" He nodded to the closed bathroom door. "Well no, I came to get Mitche-and you!" He sighed running his fingers through his hair. "You're up in like ... 3 minutes now for Camp Jam"
Caytlin paused before relaxing. "Stay here. I'll be out in a second" Caytlin sauntered over to her chest of shoes and pulled out red chucks to match her red shoulder top. The shirt fit well with her black leggings.
"Is Mitchie coming?" Shane questioned. Caytlin closed the door behind her quietly and shrugged.
"Most likely not." She said before flipping her hair over her shoulder. "She's not feeling into the music a lot lately"
"Does it have something to do with Ashley?" Shane asked.
"Stop interogating me and show me where I'm supposed to set up my electric?" She motioned to the small electric piano in her hands. Shane hadn't even noticed she was carrying something so heavy.
"Jeez, let me get that" He said lifting it out of her arms with ease. "Follow me"
Caytlin rolled her eyes. "That's what I figured I was going to have to do" She mumbled before doing as told.
Mitchie stared in the mirror. Her hair was down in unruly curls, cupping her face. Her eyes were darkened with black makeup. She wore a light blue sun dress, and black ankle boots. She took a deep breath. "You can do this Mitchie." She closed her eyes for a moment before smiling and hurrying out of the cabin.
Tess walked off the stage happily. "I love that song!" She squealed.
"You wrote it!" Nate chuckled.
"I did didn't I?" She smiled. "Ugh, the jam is almost over where is Mitchie?"
"I... think I found her" Nate said, a crooked smile on his face. Everyone looked to th stage where the spotlight had become normal, and shone bright on the nervous girl, standing infront of the mic.
"She looks.." Peggy began in awe.
"Beautiful.." Caytlin smiled happily for her friend.
"Uh hi.." Mitchie cleared her throat. "I'm Mitchie.. and this is a song I wrote - so. Yeah. I hope you um.. I hope you like it." She coughed before, the music slowly and gently began to fade in.
Ashley sat on a log in the back of the feild, cuddled in Shane's arms. He laughed as she lifted her hand to mush his face. "Crazy.." Shane chuckled once more before resting his chin on top of her head.
"I'll take that as a compliment" Ashley giggled before craning her neck back to him. "Kisses?"
Shane smiled and pecked her lips. "I love you" He stated.
"Mm-hmm" Ashley stated turning back to face the stage. Shane frowned. "Woah, who is that girl..?"
Shane paused, staring at Ashley before looking back up at the stage. There stood Mitchie, looking like an angel glowering in the spotlight. She looked beautiful, but yet vulnerable, and nervous. Quality's Shane didn't even know exsisted in her vocabulary. He gasped, as she caught a glimpse of him.
Mitchie looked down, and rested her hand on the mic.
"I heard... that you're
settled down..
that you've
found a girl, and your..
together now...
I heard,
that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things.."
Mitchie glanced back up to Shane.
"I didn't give to you...
I hate to turn up out of the blue
uninvited but I, couldn't stay away
I couldn't fight it
I'd hope you'd see my face,
and that'd you'd be reminded that
for me..
It isn't over...
Shane swallowed, as his eyes hardened. He couldn't believe she was doing this again. In front of Ashley.
"Never mind I'll find.
Someone Like you
I wish nothing but the best,
for you two..
Don't forget me,
I beg.
I'll remember..
you said.
Sometime's it lasts, in love
but sometime's it hurts instead.."
"Is this about my brother again?" Nate questioned Caytlin.
"Yeah.. I think she's finally letting go" Caytlin smiled gently. "I'm so proud of her.."
"you know how the time flies,
only yesterday
it was the time of our lives
we were born and raised
in a summer haze
bound by the surprise
of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
but I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face and be reminded
that for me..
It isn't over.."
Mitchie smiled lightly to herself as tears streamed down her face.
"Nevermind I'll find,
Someone like you.
i wish nothing but the best,
for you two
dont forget me
I beg
I'll remember you said.
Sometimes it lasts in love
but sometimes it hurts instead.."
Mitchie stood off the stool she was sitting on and began to walk across the stage.
"Nothing compares,
no worries or cares
regrets and mistakes
and memories made
who would have known
how bittersweet
this would taste..."
Ashley frowned and glanced up at Shane. "Are you crying?" She questioned. Shane sniffled and ignored her.
"Nevermind I'll find someone,
like you
I wish nothing but the best
for you too.
Don't forget me..
I beg.
I'll remember you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
but sometimes it hurts instead..."
Mitchie's voice broke as she began to cry.
"Sometimes it lasts in love..
But sometimes..."
The music slowed down as Mitchie looked out into the crowd, and met Shane's eyes.
"It hurts instead - Sorry" Mitchie whimpered as she let her hand drop, as she covered her teary eyes with her other hand. Her friends ran up on the stage to hug her as the crowd on the feild stood and cheerd.
"You did amazing.." Caytlin mumbled.
Everyone agreed as Mitchie tried to put on her best smile for them.
"... wait.. Shane is that the Mitchie girl?" Ashley questioned.
"Yeah" Shane said looking down.
"What jerk broke her heart?" She shook her head, feeling sorry for the poor girl on stage.
Me, Shane thought quietly.
Sorry, I know it was short. I have HSA's tommorrow and I have to go to bed now so I wont fail.! Wish me luck(:
