Which is the truth? Which is the lie? Chapter 7, a camp rock fanfic

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own anything except my imagination!

Matt's POV

I smiled as the girls ran out of the room, giggling. Obviously excited to record a song with Mitchie. I then turned my attention to my little brothers, Justin, and Max. "Justin," he looked at me, "you, Max and the twins go on up. Oh, and do you mind bringing Mitchie's guitars, and her music sheets and lyrics upstairs with you?"

He shook his head, "It's fine. Both acoustic and electric?"

I nodded, then walked towards the grand piano, collecting all of the music sheets into a file folder. I then walked towards the racks of guitars, grabbing Mitchie's Gibson Acoustic Hummingbird True Vintage guitar and her Gibson Custom L-4 CES Mahogany guitar, and placed them in their respective cases. Yes, she loves Gibson guitars. I gave the guitars and folder to Justin.

"Thanks!" I said then looked at the twins and kneeled so that we'd be the same height, "Can you both make sure she ate the food we sent up there? And if she refuses, you know what to do." I smiled as both EJ and DJ smirked. I stood up and noticed Max playing with a vase. I sighed, "Max," he turned to look at me with the vase in his hands, "Please, don't break anything! We still haven't replaced the window that you broke last week."

He laughed but put the vase back on its original place, "No promises there, but hey, I'll try." He continued laughing as he started walking towards the staircase with Justin and the twins right behind him.

I turned towards our guests, and walked to Brown. "Brown," I took out the CD dad told me to give to Brown from my jacket pocket, "here is a little preview of the album. We're still working on it, and there are still some songs that we haven't recorded yet. Dad presumes you'll be at the party for the announcement, well actually all of you are invited if you would like to come."

"What party?" asked Jason. Oh yeah, I still haven't told Jason about the surprise!

"It's actually a mixed party, Mitchie's Sweet Sixteen and the announcement of the Label's newest artist. " I explained, "Mitchie's actual birthday is tomorrow but since we had this Baby Shower, and our grandparents won't be able to make it. We extended the party date, which is going to be the end of this month, on the 30th of August."

"And when were you going to tell me this?" asked Jason with a raised eyebrow.

I gave him a small smile, "Sorry, I forgot but Mitchie or Maddie were already planning to invite you... So, who's ready to go?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"Oh! ME!" cried Jason, standing up then running towards the staircase. It's so easy for Jason to forget previous conversations once you change the subject, same old Jason.

We all followed Jason up the stairs, into a hallway filled with a dozens of doors.

"Lead the way, Jase, you know where to go," I said before proceeding to the double doors at the end of the hallway. Taking out my access card, I flashed it in the scanner for the automatic doors to open, then we all entered.

I walked in the studio to find everyone besides the twins, Danny, and Mitchie having a laughing fit. They were on the ground holding their sides. I looked towards the couch, on the ground Danny was on top of Mitchie, pinning her. And hovering over them were EJ and DJ, EJ was holding a bowl of chowder, and DJ was holding a spoonful of it.

They all looked at us with wide eyes, "What the heck is going on in here?!" I shouted.

"Matt, help me please!" begged Mitchie who was still struggling from under Danny, "I don't want to eat! I'm not hungry!" She turned to glare at Danny, "You're evil, Danny!"

Danny just laughed, "Come on Mitch, a while ago you said you were hungry! Remember our deal!" then he began to tickle Mitchie's sides, laughter and begs came from Mitchie. "The offer is still up, Mitchie! And I'm not letting go until you promise to eat, or until you answer my offer."

I sighed, "Mitch, just eat, you haven't eaten since this morning." She narrowed her eyes at me, "And if you don't like the chowder, I could always get you something else." I suggested, taking out my cellphone and calling for room service.

Mitchie smiled, and nodded, "Thanks brother!" she looked up at Danny, "Danny, can you get off me now?"

Danny smiled but shook his head 'no', "Not until I get your answer. It's pretty simple, just say 'yes', or 'no'."

"For you it might, but for me is different!" whispered Mitchie, who stopped struggling.

Danny sighed, he bent down to Mitchie's ear and whispered something then kissed her on her forehead before getting off of her and picking her up bridal style then placed her on the couch. Mitchie stood up and stretched before hitting Danny on the shoulder.

"I hate you," Mitchie said jokingly, hugging Danny then plopping back down on the couch taking Danny with her.

"Alright Mitch, food and drinks will be here in ten minutes," I said after hanging up on the phone, "are the instruments set?"

Danny nodded, "Yeah, everything's set. We just have to wait for Kenny to come, and for Mitchie to eat before we start."

"When's Kenny coming?" I asked, walking towards a door with a placard that says 'Control Room' and opening it.

Danny checked his watch, "In about a half an hour, I think she's still in ballet practice."

I nodded, then turned back towards the guests, "Have all of you met?" I asked everyone.

Mitchie and Caitlyn nodded, looking away from the guests while the others shook their heads 'no'.

"Well, everyone you remember Jason," I said to my siblings and friends, then pointed to the other Connect 3 members and Brown, "That's Shane and Nate, Jason's brothers, and Brown Cessario, their uncle and manager." The guys all nodded, "Then these girls are..." I turned to the girls, "I'm sorry, I never caught your names."

The blonde girl stepped forward, "I'm Tess Tyler, Shane's girlfriend!" she said, over exaggerating on the world 'girlfriend'. Not to be rude, but one look on the girl, you'd be able to tell that she would be trouble.

"I'm Peggy DuPree!" introduced the girl with the darkest skin amongst the three, "And this is my friend, Ella Johnson."

I smiled at them, "Nice to meet you!" I walked over to my twin sister, "This is my twin sister, Maddie, and they," I pointed to the twins, "are my little brothers, EJ and DJ. You already know my youngest sister, Mitchie and her friend Caitlyn from Camp Rock I believe." I took a breath, introducing my siblings would take the breathe out of you, "Also, Alex, Justin and Max Russo, and Danny Neilson. You'll get to meet Danny's older sister, Kenny, later when she comes."

Mitchie's POV

As Matt was introducing the others to our 'guests', I felt stares and daggers of glares at me. I clutched on to Danny's arm, trying to hide myself from Tess and Shane. I don't know what their reactions will be, and I actually don't want to know!

"Mitch," whispered Danny who was watching me with confusion in his eyes, "Why are you hiding?"

I shook my head, "Nothing..." He eyed me suspiciously while I gave him a cheeky grin.

"Hey Mitchie?!" called Ella who had a confused expression on her face. I turned towards her, "Yeah?"

"How come your last name is Torres instead of Munroe?" asked Ella, "Oh! And are you related to Sonny Munroe from that comedy show, So Random, because you somehow resemble her?"

"I'll answer that," said Matt. "Well, a few years ago our parents divorced. Mom got custody of Mitchie and Maddie while Dad got me and the twins. Mom got remarried with Steve and changed their last names to his last name, while Dad married Allie. And for your last question, you'll find out soon."

"Alright! Not that we all know each other, let's get down to business! Mitchie, what song?" asked Maddie with an excited smile on her face.

I returned the smile and replied, "Well for the group song, I was thinking of Our Time Is Here. The lyrics are in my folder, as for the music," I turned towards Caitlyn, "I think Caitlyn and Matt finished it a few nights ago, right?" Caitlyn nodded in assurance. "And since Kenny isn't here yet, you girls could practice the song, while Danny and I are work on one of my new songs."

The guests seemed to be interested in my new songs as they watched me intently. I felt uncomfortable under their gazes.

"Which reminds me," said Brown finally speaking for the first time since they entered the studio, "Mitchie and Caitlyn, I'd like to thank you for sending me that song, it was perfect a song for the last day of Camp Rock!"

"Glad you liked it Brown! But it wasn't only me and Caitlyn who worked on it, I had some help from my brothers and friends!" I smiled and turned towards Matt, the twins, EJ and DJ, and finally Danny and Alex.

Brown chuckled, "Thank you all! And Mitchie, I can't wait to hear your new songs!"

I nodded then stood up, and started walking towards the recording booth. Stopping under the doorway, and looked back at them, "Well, you could hear one of them right now." I offered.

Our 'guests' nodded, before Matt and Caitlyn walked inside the control room to get the music started, Alex asked, "Which song Mitch?"

"I was thinking of either Believe in Me or Don't Forget. What do you guys think?"

Caitlyn came out of the control room, "Uh, slight problem Mitchie, we haven't had any time to record the guitar parts for Don't Forget and we haven't combined the music for Believe In Me, yet."

I sighed, I was hoping to sing them both today, or at least one of them but I guess my luck ran out. "It's fine, what about Back Around? I think I just have to record my part, right?"

Caitlyn smiled, "Yeah, great! Why don't you go set up in there, while we get the song ready!"

I nodded and proceeded inside the recording booth to set up the mics and headphones. Before I sat down on the stool, I took out a water bottle from the small refrigerator inside the booth for when I get thirsty while singing, then went back to my stool. I looked towards the window separating the control room and the recording booth. Everyone was in there, talking and lounging on the couch. I glanced at each of our 'guests' movements, the Greys and Brown were standing behind Matt and Caitlyn, talking to each other. While the girls were sitting on the couch and socializing with my friends, well Ella and Peggy were socializing. And Tess, she was glaring daggers at me through the window, causing me to shiver.

The sound of Matt's voice through the headphones broke me from my thoughts, "Alright Mitch, everything is set. The rest is on you, give me the signal when you're ready."

"Thanks Matt!" I replied, then readjusted the microphone and headphones. "Okay, I'm ready!"

Soon the music started. I closed my eyes as I started to sing...

What did I do to deserve this?
Tell me the truth and don't lie
You're pretty good at that but, no not this time
You walk around like you run the world,
Running your mouth, and talking about me now,
They think that you're the perfect girl,
They're gonna see everything so get back

It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and I'm too tall to take this again
You're just too adverse but I got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that mean so much to you

I'm feeling bad for,
You are alone and nobody cares that you are
One look into your eyes,
Easy to see what you could be but you're not
I say it's time that you give in,
Since it was real, you cannot fulfill, you're over
You feel your heart beat deep down
Ignoring the shame of causing this pain,
Just get out

You keep hearing everything that people say
And you cant take the pain another day
It's coming back around
I told you this town was just too small

You're just too adverse but you can stop now
It's gonna come back around
And around and around and around and around
Yeah, yeah
It's gonna come back around
You know that this town is just too small and I'm too tall (too tall)
To take this, take this again (whoa)
You're just too adverse but I've got news
You know you're just gonna lose
Everything and everyone that mean so much to you
Everything and everyone that mean so much to you
Everything and everyone that mean so much to you

I opened my eyes to see everyone, well mostly everyone clapping their hands. I smiled at them before grabbing my water bottle to take big gulps. My throat feels raw, but with the water its soothing!

"Great job, Mitchie!" I heard Matt's voice through the headphones along with some background voices.

"Thanks! So, when are they coming?" I asked. From what Matt told me yesterday, our Uncle Adrian, his family along with some family-friends are coming to visit, for the birthday celebrations and some business and politics meeting. "Or, are we meeting them at the house tomorrow?"

Matt checked his watch for the time and smiled, "Oh, they'll be here in 3...2...1-"

The next thing I knew, I heard squealing outside and the door to the recording booth opening. Standing there by the door were my cousins, Anthony aka Tony and her younger twin sister, and my look-a-like, Alison aka Sonny Munroe.

I stood there in shock, but a smile crept to my face as they both tackled me in a hug, figuratively speaking of course.

"I can't believe you guys are here!" I laughed, then gave each one another hug.

"Well, here we are! We could have arrived earlier if Tony didn't pack at the last minute, again!" exclaimed Sonny while sending a "mock glare" at Tony.

I giggled, "Same ol' Tony, always procrastinating, and yet you get things done faster that way." Tony stuck his tongue out at Sonny and I which caused us to laugh.

Ahh-hmm! Someone cleared their throat from the doorway. We turned to look towards the door to find everyone plus more visitors watching us. Some with a smile, while the others with a confused look.

"Now that you guys had your little reunion, why don't we introduce ourselves to the new guests," suggested Matt.

I nodded. Tony, Sonny, and I stepped out of the recording booth and into the lounge where most of the guests took their seats on all three couches while Alex sat between EJ and DJ at the love seat. My older siblings, Danny, Tony and Sonny stood with me in front of all the guests.

"Everyone," Matt looked towards Connect 3 and their companions, "this is Tony and Sonny Munroe, our cousins." He then turned towards Tony and Sonny, "I believe you know each of our guests by name and family."

Sonny nodded, "Yeah, one of the hottest bands right now, Connect 3, which consists of Jason, Shane and Nate Grey, the sons of Diana Cessario and Terrance Grey, two very famous singers and composers back in the 1980's but retired when both got married. And their manager Brown Cessario, also the owner of the famous music camp, Camp Rock." She looked towards the girls, "Tess Tyler, daughter of superstar TJ Tyler and Stephen Bianchi, a famous writer in Italy; Margaret DuPree daughter of Camille Lincoln, the movie producer and Gregory DuPree, the classical singer, and lastly, Ella Johnson, daughter of two famous art collectors in Europe and all of Asia, Mary Kris and Andrew Johnson."

I saw Tess narrow her eyes at Sonny.

"How do you know who my father is?" asked Tess through gritted teeth, "And where did you get all these information about us anyways?" I guess she's not happy that we know who her dad is.

Sonny shrugged her shoulders, "I don't, but now that you admitted it, I guess I know now. And where we got the information is none of your business, all you need to know is that we have our sources." Tess was now clenching her fists, she looked like she was going to attack Sonny.

I sighed, "Quit playing her Sonny. I'll tell you how we know who your father is. We met Stephen Bianchi a few years ago when we visited our grandparents in Italy. He was doing a book signing at one of the book stores we went to, and apparently he thought that I looked like a friend of his. It turned out that he and our parents were friends since high school but lost contact after they graduated in college. After that, our parents have been in contact with each other."

Tess scoffed, "Whatever!"

"Alright! Now that we know them, I think we'll introduce our friends now!" said Tony before turning towards their guests and naming each of them. "This is Tawni Hart, Nico Harris, Grady Mitchell and Zora Lancaster, the cast of the tween comedy show, So Random."

Sonny continued, "And last but not least, Chad Dylan Cooper, the star of tween drama show, Mackenzie Falls." Sonny then looked at Chad, "Happy Chad?"

Chad smirked, "Not yet, Sonny. You know that's not what I wanted to hear."

Sonny glared at Chad, "Fine! And he's also the best actor of this generation. Satisfied?"

"Very," said Chad.

Hmm, I think there's something going on between those two.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated, my computer was down and I lost most of my files and had to rewrite so many things. And with projects and tests at school, I've been busy.

I'm going to stop here for now, I have to think up some more ideas for the upcoming chapters. And I might rewrite this story later on.
