Chapter 7
"Mitchie! There's a package for you at the door!" caitlyn called up the stairs to me while I was getting ready.
"Well what do you want me to do about it?" I shouted back and walked away from my vanity mirror and down the stairs towards Caitlyn who had a small wrapped parcel in her hands.
"What it it?" I asked.
"I don't know your going to have to open it and tell me," she said handing it over.
"Do you know who it's from?"
"No, just open it maybe there is a card or something," she suggested and I ripped the package open and tipped out the contents. One was an envelope the other a small gift wrapped item. The envelope had OPEN ME FIRST written on it so I began tearing it open in my mentally challenged ways, trying not to rip the card.
"What does it say?" Caitlyn asked, getting impatient at my slowness.
"It says; Dear Mitchie (and Caitlyn since we know you'll be reading this too)
In the package, is something which Caitlyn knows about however Mitchie doesn't. Mitchie, open it play it then text us the results of what you think, by the way it is all official and possibly the next single from our album.
From Connect 3.
Caitlyn fess up, what do you know about this?" I asked her and she shrugged innocently.
"Just open it Mitch, just because I know what it is doesn't mean I have seen it," she told me and I shrugged. I reached over and grabbed the present, carefully opening it to reave a CD. I took one glance at the cover art and gasped. It was a photo of me that Caitlyn and I had been mucking around with recently. We decided it would be fun to have our own photoshoot and so the photo was of me with my guitar (the don't forget CD cover) and Connect 3, photoshopped together to make it look like we were all there together, with the words On The Line repeated on the cover in red and Mithie Torres and Connect 3 in black across the middle. I was amazed to say the lease. Connect 3 produced a single from my song with possibly the best album cover ever!
"Oh My God Mitchie this is amazing, open it up I want to see what the booklet inside it says!" Caitlyn exclaimed and we opened up the short booklet. The first page was the lyrics and then in bold font at the end of the page was;
'Written by: Mitchie Torres

"Oh my God Caitlyn are you seeing what I'm seeing? Is it real or am I dreaming?" I asked and she reached over and pinched me hard.
"Ow what was that for?" I whined.
"Yep, see, definitely real," she told me and I let out a laugh. I flipped the page in the booklet to the thank you's.
'We would like to thank Mitchie Torres for this amazing song and the rights to use it on our record, may your voice be found and your dream lived out. We believe in you, even though we still are not sure how we found such an amazing talent in the first place.
To Caitlyn Gellar, Mitchies best friend and Nates girlfriend (you getting the hint yet Cait? Lol) you supported Mitchie when no one else would and for that, we thank you.
To our parents...' (you get the point dontcha?)
"Mithie this is amazing, you are the top most thanked person and me well... I think Nate just asked me to be his girlfriend rather publically might I add," Caitlyn said dreamily.
"Alright Cait, wheres a CD player, we need to listen to the song NOW!" I said and she bolted to me room to get my laptop while also inserting the fist that had the same cover art as the front but it was a solo picture of me with a microphone and only said my name whereas the back of where the CD goes is a solo photo of Connect 3 with only their name.
Mitchie- i didn't wanna say im sorry for breaking us apart.
Shane- I didn't wanna say it was my fault even though i knew it was.
Mitchie- I didn't wanna call you back 'cause i knew that i was wrong.

Mitchie- One in the same never to change our love was beautiful.
We got it all destined to fall our love was tragical.
Shane- Wanted to call

Shane- You know i wouldn't lie.
Both- But tonight we'll leave it on the line.
Nate- Listen baby, never would have said forever if i knew it'd end so fast
Mitchie- Why did you say i love you if you knew that it wouldn't last.
Nate- Baby i just cant hear what your saying the line is breaking up.
Mitchie- Or is that just us? Oh baby just us.
Mitchie- One in the same never to change our love was beautiful.
We got it all destined to fall our love was tragical.

Mitchie- no need to fight.
Shane- You know i wouldn't lie.
Both- But tonight we'll leave it on the line.

Like a letter left unsent.

Mitchie- One in the same never to change our love was beautiful.
We got it all destined to fall our love was tragical.
Shane- Wanted to call
Mitchie- no need to fight.
Shane- You know i wouldn't lie.
Both- But tonight we'll leave it on the line.
"Oh My God!" I exclaimed. "They edited it so that it sounded like I was there with them in the studio! This is amazing I need to text Shane!" I exclaimed and Caitlyn laughed, still in shock from the brilliance of the song.
'Cait said yes to Nate and the song was just... Wow... There are no other words to describe it! Thank you all so much!" I sent and Caitlyn and I turned the song back on and just left it on replay.
