Chapter Seven

you turn me around
our love is so different
nothing I have had before
I don't think

I could walk away
(don't walk away)
your kind of love
is the one I live for
-"Your Kind Of Love" by Mitchie Torres.

It was the night before the Final Jam. Everyone was restless and excited, the last time Mitchie had felt anything like this, it had been the same night before her very first Final Jam. "I hope my mix is okay." Caitlyn mumbled as she pulled out her iBook.

Mitchie let out a sigh. Caitlyn had been a bundle of nerves all day. Mitchie was pretty sure Caitlyn was more nervous than anyone else. "Caitlyn, it's fine." Mitchie assured her girlfriend.

"I don't want fine Mitchie. I need perfection." Caitlyn argued as she opened up her song for Final Jam and listened to it.

Mitchie tapped her foot to the beat. She smiled as she watched Caitlyn nervously chewed her fingernails. She was so nervous and it wasn't even needed. Everyone at Camp Rock knew that Caitlyn was the best producer and mixer. She could do it better than anyone.

"I love it." Mitchie offered once the song ended.

"I don't think it's good enough." Caitlyn said mixing more of the song around.

Mitchie let out a sigh. They had been hauled up in their cabin for over two hours, Mitchie was itching to go on a canoe ride or swimming or something. Mitchie played a few chords on her keyboard. She would be performing at Final Jam and unlike her first year, Mitchie was ready.

After her first year at Camp Rock Mitchie made a pact with herself to no longer hide. And she didn't. She did what she wanted to do and what felt right to her. She even joined the choir at her school and did a few solos. She wasn't hiding anymore.

"Aren't you nervous?" Caitlyn asked.

Mitchie looked back at Caitlyn. She was looking at Mitchie, her eyes clouded over with worry. "No. I know my song is perfect."

"Let's hear it." Caitlyn urged.

Mitchie shrugged her shoulders. She had wanted to wait for Caitlyn to hear it until Final Jam,but now was just as good of time. "Fine. It's different from my old stuff though." Mitchie warned before she started to play.

After Mitchie finished her song she glanced at Caitlyn. Caitlyn was sitting on her bed, staring at Mitchie with tears collecting in her eyes. "Wow Mitchie. That was amazing. It's about me, isn't it?"

Mitchie nodded her head. "Yep it is." Mitchie stood up form her keyboard and crossed the room towards Caitlyn. After sitting down next to Caitlyn, Mitchie wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. "You will be amazing. Your parents will see how amazing you are. It will all work out."

Caitlyn shut her eyes and leaned her head on Mitchie's shoulder. "I hope so."

"It will." Mitchie said again.

Caitlyn nodded her head as she opened her eyes again. "Thanks Mitchie." Caitlyn said softly.

Mitchie nodded her head. "No problem."

After Caitlyn finished her song both she and Mitchie put on sweaters and went outside. They decided to take a walk, Mitchie convinced Caitlyn that she needed to clear her mind to stop stressing.

"Are you still worried about Final Jam?" Mitchie asked as they walked along the side of the lake.

Caitlyn shook her head. "Not so much. I mean, I'm worried about what my parents will think."

Mitchie nodded her head. She understood that statement completely. She understood how your parents' reaction would either make or break you. Mitchie had spent most of her years worried that her parents wouldn't think that she was talented and remarkable at singing and writing songs.

But then Final Jam had happened. She had sung in front of everyone-including her parents. Mitchie's parents had loved the song and they told her that she was talented. It had made Mitchie's entire summer just to hear those words.

"I get how you feel Caitlyn. I've gone through that before." Mitchie told Caitlyn as they walked along the lake. "You'll be fine. They will love you."

Caitlyn glanced at Mitchie and smiled. "Thanks Mitchie." Caitlyn said quietly.

"What are you doing here?" Mitchie jumped as she recognized Shane's voice.

"Shane?" Mitchie glanced ahead of her and Caitlyn and she saw Shane walking towards them.

"what is she doing here? This is our spot you know." mitchie took the time to glance around at her surroundings.

He was right. This was the spot they had always met Mitchie's first year at Camp rock. It was the spot they had fallen in love with each other. "Shane." mitchie said, hoping he would just understand.

"What Mitchie? What do you want to say to me?" Shane asked stepping closer to Mitchie and Caitlyn, his eyes clouded over with anger. "I loved you. I put everything I had in you."

"Look Shane," Caitlyn stepped forward towards Shane, her hands in front of her. "Just go back to your cabin."

Shane shook his head angerily. "No."

mitchie ran her fingers through her hair. This obviously was not going to get any better. "Caitlyn, it's fine. I'll talk to him. Go and get some sleep. You'll need it for tomorrow." Mitchie smiled at Caitlyn who looked from Mitchie to Shane unsure.

"Okay." Caitlyn smiled at Mitchie before walking away.

"What's going on Shane?" Mitchie asked as she watched Caitlyn disapear into their cabin.

"Oh, nothing. Doing great." Shane said, sarcasim drippoing from his voice.

"Stop it Shane." Mitchie crossed shane and sat under the tree. It was that same tree that Shane had sung songs to mitchie under and the one where Mitchie opened up to Shane. It held too many memories for Mitchie to handle.

"Stop what exactly Mitchie? Loving you? Craving you? Dreaming about you?" Shane plopped down next to mitchie. "I can't help how I feel about you."

"No Shane you can't. But you can control how you act. You can control talking to everyone and being mad at Caitlyn and kissing me. Those are things that you can control."

Shane let out a sigh as he leaned against the tree trunk. "I tried. I acted like a supportive ex-boyfriend. I helped you. I was there for you." Mitchie nodded her head, remembering. She had loved Shane for that. She had loved him for being such a great friend when she didn't have anyone else. "But seeing you with Caitlyn. Watching you swim together and sit in the dining hall together...it's horrible. I can't stand it. I want to be with you Mitchie."

mitchie shrugged her shoulders in response. "well, you cna't. We are over now Shane. I chose to end it with you. We are over. We are no longer together. You need to do what you need to do to get a grip on that."

Shane let out a sigh. "I tried that too. I went with Tess. We dated and kissed and...everything else." Shane leaned in close to Mitchie. "But she doesn't even start to compare to you Mitchie."

Mitchie quickly stood up off the ground. Sheh couldn't listen to this anymore. She wasn't going to. "Shane, I can't do this anymore. Just please leave me alone. Just...get over me."

Mitchie turned away from Shane and walked back towards her cabin. She hated that she had hurt Shane the way she had, but she hadn't meant for any of it to happen. But she loved Caitlyn and she always would.

Caitlyn was the one for her, not Shane Grey.

"Mitchie.."

mitchie shook her head as she spun back around to face Shane. "No. Shane, we're over. We're done. I don't love you anymore, I love Caitlyn. That's it. So...just go with Tess or whatver you want to do. I am where I want to be."

Mitchie turned back around on her heel and left Shane standing alone, watching her go. She knew that she had been rude to him, but she couldn't about that anymore. All that Mitchie really cared about was getting Shane Gray out of her life and being closer to Caitlyn Geller.

That was all that Mitchie wanted.

The next morning everything was still. It was that kind of morning that told everyone, from the second that they opened their eyes that something huge was going to happen. That feeling wasn't one that spared Mitchie.

Mitchie woke up and rolled out of her bed and saw Caitlyn on her comptuer, finishing her song, even more then it needed.

"Aren't you done with that yet?" Mitchie joked as she walked over to her girlfriend.

"I don't know. I don't know anything right now Mitchie." Caitlyn said, her voice thin and full of nerves.

Mitchie wrapped her arms around Caitlyn and she kissed her softly on the cheek. She wished that she had some way to make everything that Caitlyn was stressing over to go away. She wished that her parents cared about her more. "You'll do great. I know you will. They will finally understand what they have been missing for the past seventeen years."

"I hope so. Thanks Mitchie."

"You're welcome."

Mitchie walked away from Caitlyn as she quickly got dressed, her own stomach dancing with butterflies in anticipation. Camp Rock was almost over, Final Jam was almost here, everything was coming to a close. Before long it would just be Mitchie and Caitlyn at NYU, studying music and being who they wanted to be, nothing to worry about.

Mitchie smiled a toothy grin as she thought about it. It was all going to be perfect. Just her and Caitlyn, they were going to start their lives together. "Just think...soon we will be at NYU. It'll be fun. Just us doing what we want, being who we want."

Caitlyn smiled as she looked up at Mitchie. "Yeah, I can't wait. All of this pressure will just be done with."

"I know. It'll be great." Mitchie kissed Caitlyn on the cheek again before walking towards the door. "I am going to get breakfast. Come when you are done with that."

"I will." Caitlyn smiled at Mitchie before Mitchie walked out of her cabin, shutting the door behind her.
