Chapter Six
I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face, I was going to tell my friends, but life never works out the way you want it too. Classes were fine, really good, but I had feeling something was going to happen. I pushed the feelings to the back of my head though, cuz I didn't want to spoil everyone else's fun. The weird thing was Tess kept looking at me, as if she knew something. But how could she know anything unless, She had heard me and my mom talking last night.
Panic rushed through me, and I told Caitlyn my fears. "No matter what happens Mitchie, I'm on your side,"
"But what if she turns the whole camp against me," I said.
"If they don't give you a chance to explain yourself then screw them," she said. "Come on it's time for Beach Jam. And don't worry I'm not going to make you sing, I can see you're already too nervous,"
"I really don't think I could handle it," I said.
We made our way out to where the rest of the camp was gathered, we sat on the front row, and waited for Brown, and Dee. "Right then rockers," said Brown's voice. "I have a real treat for you guys today, I've finally persuaded my nephews to sing a song," my nerves momentarily disappeared, I wanted to know if they were going to sing the new song they'd been working on. They came out onto the stage, with their guitars, well Jason and Nate, did Shane didn't have one.
"Hey guys, we're going to play something a little different than our usual sound, let us know what you think, this is called Play My Music," Shane said into the microphone;
Turn on that radio Hand clapping Music's in my soul Got my six string on my back Hand clapping Music's in my soul Can't imagine what it'd be like Music's in my soul Music's in my soul Yeah
As loud as it can go
Wanna dance until my feet can't feel the ground (feel the ground)
Say goodbye to all my fears
One good song may disappear
And nothing in the world can bring me down (bring me down)
Hip shaking
Heartbreaking
There's no faking
What you feel when your riding home
Yeah, yeah
I can hear it everyday, everynight
It's the one thing on my mind
Music's got control
And I'm never letting go, no no
I just want to play my music
Whoa (music)
Don't need anything but that
Everything I want is here with me (here with me)
So forget that fancy car
I don't need to go that far
What's driving me is following my dreams, yeah
Earth shaking
Heartbreaking
There's no faking
What you feel when your on a roll
Yeah, yeah
I can hear it everyday, everynight
It's the one thing on my mind
Music's got control
And I'm never letting go, no no
I just wanna play my music
I just wanna play my music
Without the sound of all my hero's singing all my favorite songs
So I can sing along
I can hear it everyday, everynight
It's the one thing on my mind
Music's got control
And I'm never letting go, no no
I just wanna play my music
I can hear it everyday, everynight
It's the one thing on my mind
Music's got control
And I'm never letting go, no no
I just wanna play my music
All night long
They finished the song and I was stunned, it was amazing, but just as I was about to congratulate them, Tess asked the question I'd been dreading. "So Mitchie," she said. "Tell us about your mom again,"
"Tess," said Caitlyn.
"Well she's amazing," I said.
"What is her signature dish," Tess said.
"Honestly Spanish Omelette," I said.
"Does she own a restaurant," she said.
"She used to," I said. "But we had to close it down,"
"So what is she doing now," said Tess smirking.
"Tess really shut up," said Caitlyn.
"She's just a cook," I said.
"And where does she cook," said Tess.
"Here," I said quietly.
"I'm sorry did I just hear that right," Tess said. "Did you just say your mom cooks here, I thought you said she was famous,"
"She was," I said. "About five years ago,"
"So you lied about her," said Tess. "What thought you could become popular because of your mom, that's really pathetic, but I heard she poisoned people that's why she had to close down her restaurant, we better be careful guys,"
"That was not why it closed," I said.
"And how do we know you're not lying," she said.
"Mitchie, is this true," said a voice, I turned and saw the guys looking angry, but I could see hurt there too.
"Please, I was going to tell you, I swear," I said.
"You lied to us," said Shane.
"Please let me explain," I said.
"What so you can lie again," said Tess smirking.
"Tess you only found out half the story," said Caitlyn,
"You knew," said Nate angrily.
"It wasn't my secret to tell," she said.
"Who cares why she did it," said Tess. "She lied and betrayed our trust,"
"No, please," I said.
"Save it," said Shane. "I can't believe I trusted you,"
"Please listen to me," I said. He gave me one more furious look and then stormed off his brothers glared at me and then they followed him.
"Oh, dear you gonna go and cry to your pathetic poor mother," Tess said tauntingly I heard people in the crowd snicker. I felt my eyes well up and then someone pull me away,
"Oh no you don't not here," said Caitlyn. "Come on come with me," She led me to deep into the woods to the spot we'd set up as our hideaway, and there I finally broke down. She hugged me tight, and just held me as I cried.
