Sorry that this chapter is a little short.... kinda figuring out where the plot should go from here.... i'm getting somewhere. :) Hope you like it!
Chapter 7
Monica. Mitchie. Monica. Mitchie. Those two names kept swirling around in Shane's head. How was he going to be able to concentrate now?
"Connect 3 to the stage please. We want to get through this rehearsal quickly and then head straight out to get ready for the parade" a voice called out from within the room by the sound desk.
"Come on boys" Jason called as he stood up on the stage and started to fix his guitar up. The girls moved away from the stage and found some place to sit down.
"Do you think we're ever going to get to do this again?" Caitlyn asked as they watched the boys set up.
"I'd love to" Mitchie said as she looked around the room. Looking back at the boys, she couldn't help the small feeling of jealousy that she felt towards them. They had the courage to pursue their dreams and they had done it. They were able to do what the love every day.
"What are you thinking about Mitchie?" Caitlyn asked. Mitchie jumped and turned to look at Caitlyn who was smirking at her.
"I'm not thinking about Shane if that is what you are wondering" Mitchie replied. "I just wish that I believed in myself enough to be able to perform and share my songs with everyone"
"Isn't it enough that I believe in you?" Caitlyn asked with a smile. Mitchie laughed. The girls said nothing else as the sounds of a guitar filled the room. For the next hour or so the girls watched the boys go through the songs that they would be playing during the parade.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So what did you girls think?" Jason asked once the rehearsal had finished and the group was heading back outside to the car. Mitchie and Caitlyn just followed as they had no idea what to do.
"Mitchie was pretty much jealous the whole time" Caitlyn said quickly.
"Caitlyn!" Mitchie exclaimed as she glared at her best friend.
"What?" Caitlyn shrugged. "It's true"
"Why were you jealous?" Nate asked. Mitchie suddenly started to blush and look away.
"Well it was becau-" Caitlyn was suddenly prevented from talking again as Mitchie had come up beside and placed her hand over her mouth.
"Must we be telling everything about my life today?" Mitchie asked, temporarily forgetting that the boys were watching the scene with amusement. Caitlyn didn't say anything except licked Mitchie's hand. Mitchie squealed and yanked her hand back.
"Serves you right" Caitlyn said with a smirk.
"You are disgusting"
"And you're frustrating"
"And you don't know how to keep your mouth shut"
"And you know that I'm right" Caitlyn said, knowing that she had put an end to the argument. Mitchie opened her mouth to say something but knew that Caitlyn was right.
"Are you girls right?" Nate asked slowly. All three guys were scared to get in between the girls, thinking that they were going to suddenly scream out that they hated each other and walk away. Caitlyn turned to the guys with a smile.
"Everything's fine. This is normal between us"
"So umm... what are we doing now?" Mitchie asked, desperate for a change in the topic but unfortunately the boys weren't letting go that easily.
"First you tell us why you were jealous," Jason said with a smile. "Then we can head over to the parade" Mitchie groaned while Caitlyn laughed.
"You can't get out of this now Mitch. Would you rather I explain it for you or are you alright to do it?"
"You can do it" Mitchie mumbled, hiding her face from everyone as they continued to walk down the hallway.
"Mitchie was jealous because you are doing what she really wants to do; perform"
"You should come and sing with us one day then" Nate said with a smile. Mitchie's head snapped up to look at Nate.
"What?" she asked.
"You should come and sing with us. We're always looking for background singers for our albums and we can have a test run with you if you want. Just spend a day in the studio to see how it sounds" Nate explained.
"Are you serious?" Mitchie asked, not believing what she was hearing. Caitlyn too even seemed shocked at this announcement. The boys laughed.
"We're serious" Shane said. "We heard you singing before and that was pretty awesome" Mitchie honestly felt like she couldn't breathe. Right in front of her were they offering Mitchie the chance she had always dreamed of getting. She didn't even notice the tears that had started to gather in her eyes until Jason pointed them out.
"Are you crying?" he asked. Mitchie laughed and shook her head before hugging each of the boys.
"You really don't know how much this means to me that you would even consider me" Mitchie said.
"Mitchie!" Caitlyn squealed. Mitchie laughed loudly as she spun around to face Caitlyn. The girls hugged each other tightly and jumped up and down, screaming as well. The boys just watched on.
"These girls are cool" Nate said quietly.
"Where did you say you met them?" Jason asked. Shane smiled as he looked at Mitchie.
"I met them at the train station"
"I wonder where they are from." Jason wondered.
"I'm not sure. All I know is the station I met them at, which was in a small country town" Shane said.
"Do you think they would have a recording studio there?" Nate asked.
"Only one way to find out" Shane said as he looked at the girls.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The girls moment was broken by the sounds of the boys calling them.
"Hey Mitchie" Shane asked.
"Yea?" Mitchie asked a little breathlessly after the jumping. Caitlyn was leaning on her and also catching her breath.
"Is there by any chance a recording studio near your house?"
"Sure" Mitchie answered. "It's pretty small but we have one. I work there"
"You working tomorrow?" Nate asked with a smile. Both girls shook their heads. "So what do you say that tomorrow we head out there and work on some songs?"
"That would be awesome" Mitchie said, still not believing that this day was actually happening.
