AN: Hey guys sorry it's been a long time since I've updating. I've got exams and coursework deadlines to meet so it's been a bit hectic. So since I updated last I turned 16 on the 30th January. I left school and had my school prom.
I'm really not happy with this chapter cos I think I was rushing it cos I really needed to post one. The song at the beginning is one I have written so if you think it's rubbish, then I totally understand.
So I'll let you read this chapter after this long Authors note.
Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock, the Jonas Brothers (I wish), or any of the characters. Any characters that are not in the film are mine and also Avalanche Records are mine too.
Chapter 7
No POV
Mitchie woke the next morning to find that Shane wasn't beside her; she sat up and rubbed her eyes vigorously with the heels of her hands, which made her eyes begin to hurt. She stood up finding her balance as she began to wobble. The faint sound of flowing water filled the room, she spotted Shane's guitar in the corner of the room and grabbed it and began to play a random melody, she remembered the song she had written on the way home from Camp Rock she began reciting the song to the melody;
Yeah, oh whoa yeah
When the sun sets on my day
I know that you are sending love my way
I hope you see how much you mean to me
Now I know we are meant to be
Why does this love I feel inside
Always show in my eyes?
You steal my heart like a thief in the night
Now please don't walk away from me I need you here by my side
Your love means everything to me
Yeah e Yeah. Ooh Ooh
Shane walked into the bedroom, in just a pair of sweatpants towel drying his hair sitting next to Mitchie on the bed watching her as she sang.
When something like us is so pure
How can they be so sure?
That we are ready for love?
So take me as I am
Not how you want me to be
And I will take you the way you are
I would never change you
So don't change me
Why does this love I feel inside
Always show in my eyes?
You steal my heart like a thief in the night
Now please don't walk away from me I need you here by my side
Your love means everything to me
Yeah e Yeah. Ooh Ooh
As the days roll by
I keep wondering why
You even love me at all
But one thing I know is
I've never felt like this before
And if I lost you
My whole world would just cave in
Why does this love I feel inside
Always show in my eyes?
You steal my heart like a thief in the night
Now please don't walk away from me I need you here by my side
Your love means everything to me
Yeah e Yeah. Ooh Ooh
Why does this love I feel inside
Always show in my eyes?
You steal my heart like a thief in the night
Now please don't walk away from me I need you here by my side
Your love means everything to me
Yeah e Yeah. Ooh Ooh
Your love means everything to me
Everything, Everything
To me…
"Mitch that was awesome!" Shane exclaimed as he continued to towel dry his hair,
"It should be it was written about you!" Mitchie mumbled hoping that Shane didn't hear but he did "I wrote it just after I left Camp Rock, and then after the thing in the bathroom the other day," they both chuckled at the thought of that morning.
"Yeah that was a pretty interesting morning" They both chuckled again, "Hey have you taken your tablet yet?" Shane asked worried,
Mitchie rolled her eyes "No not yet, I was just about to get it," Shane looked relieved. Mitchie rubbed her hands together nervously there was something she needed to tell Shane, it was nothing bad, in fact it was good, "Shane?"
"Yeah" He replied standing up to get something from his suitcase in the bottom of the closet,
"That was the best nights sleep, I've ever had, it's so much easier falling to sleep when you're there, I don't know what it is about you Shane but you make me feel safe, and protected," Shane smiled as he took a shirt from his suitcase and pulling it on,
"Glad to hear it, we're here for another couple of days, just while you get your album up and running, so you can come and sleep in here with me anytime you want!" Mitchie smiled at the thought, her chest began to hurt which was a sign that she really needed to take her medication,
"I need to go, I'll be back," Mitchie said walking over to the door taking the key cards from the table next to the bed, but not before turning back to Shane to ask a question "I think I might take you up on that offer, mind if I bring my stuff in here?" she asked trying to hurry his answer
"No not at all, Mitch, are you ok? You're pale!" Shane asked crossing the room to inspect Mitchie's face,
"I'm fine I need to take my medication, come with me?" She grabbed his hand holding it tightly, not wanting to let go,
"Sure," Mitchie wasted no time in going to her room, she jogged to the door, opening it quickly and walking over to the next door, which was hers and Caitlyn's room. Mitchie rammed the card into the slot waiting for the green light when it eventually came she turned the door knob nothing happened, she really hated them why couldn't they just have keys, instead of these stupid card things? She tried for the second time shaking erratically,
"Shane?" she looked at him, hands still shaking beads of sweat forming on her forehead, he took the card from her hand and pushed it into the slot turning the knob the door swung open as Mitchie ran through it towards the shared bedroom she searched around for her bag, Caitlyn was nowhere in sight so she figured she must be with Nate, she pulled out her purse from the bottom of the closet, grabbed the strip of pills from the hidden pocket in the back. Meanwhile Shane was hurriedly getting water from the kitchenette for her to take the tablet. They met in the small hallway between the living room/kitchen area, Shane handed her the glass of water, she took the water and filled her mouth with the cool, fresh water, popped in the tiny circular pill grabbed Shane's hand tightly and swallowed, within seconds the tablet had gone she sighed a sigh of relief and looked at Shane, concern all over his face. Mitchie smiled widely showing that she was fine. Shane pulled her close, their hands still attached.
"I'm going to have to get used to that!" Shane said kissing the top of Mitchie's head, she looked up at him confused "You cutting off the circulation off in my hand" he chuckled, Mitchie laughed apologetically.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I've been taking them for nearly 3 months now and I still can't get used to them!" They were still embraced in a hug when Nate, Caitlyn and Jason came through the door. The couple received a confused expression from Caitlyn as she looked at Mitchie.
"Where could you have possibly gone in your pyjamas before 7 this morning?" she asked quizzically. Mitchie laughed
"I couldn't sleep last night and neither could Shane, so he told me to come to his room, we talked for a while until I eventually fell asleep!" she explained, Caitlyn nodded with a look as though she didn't believe her, but she definitely knew that that was all they would do, Shane cared too much about her for that and he wore a purity ring. "It was the best nice sleep I've ever had, so you've got the room all to yourself." Caitlyn raised an eyebrow along With Nate; Jason just had a blank expression on his face.
"Oh shut up!" both Shane and Mitchie said in unison.
"Mitch, we need to be at the recording studio in an hour so-"Shane didn't get to finish his sentence before Mitchie had dashed into her room grabbing some clothes and jumping into the shower.
"Hey do they need you guys too?" Caitlyn asked, pouting at Nate,
"For an hour, we just have to record one song today, so we can do what you want!" Caitlyn smiled widely.
"Great we're going shopping!" Nate laughed
"Ooh yay shopping!" Jason's outburst was a surprise to everyone even Mitchie who was listening from the other side of the bathroom door. Everyone looked at him with a shocked expression on their face "What? I like shopping!" Jason moved to sit on the couch.
Moments later Mitchie emerged fully dressed and hair dried. She grabbed her purse from the table and put her medication back into it's rightful place in her messenger bag. "Ok ready!" She stated, they walked out the door and made their way over to the recording studio.
They arrived at the studio 10 minutes later, this time in a black SUV with black tinted windows. They didn't want people to know that they were there to avoid paparazzi. Mitchie, Nate, Shane, Caitlyn and Jason walked the familiar route to the studio where Mitchie would be singing all day, Connect 3 had to go to a different studio so that their album could be done and finished. Shane pulled Mitchie aside.
"I got to go to the other studio but I will come straight here when I finish I promise!" she nodded, he kissed her forehead and headed for studio 2.
Mitchie's POV
As soon as he left I walked into the studio, Caitlyn was sat on the couch at the back of the room, I passed her my bag and she set it down next to her. Todd was sat at the controls and so was Sam, I remembered him from yesterday. He was the person that works the controls.
"Ok, Mitchie we have a two covers for you to do we have permission for you to do them, as the artists are part of our record label so that's not a problem and you have two choices of your own, we are planning on having twelve tracks on the album and Shane told me that you have written a lot of songs so we can use them if that's ok with you?" I nodded, "Good, here's the list of covers you will be doing," he handed me the list and I looked it over just out of sheer luck they were the songs that I sang earlier on in the week that Shane heard me sing, I wondered if he had anything to do with that. I decided there and then which songs I was going to cover and which songs I was going to use for the album. Luckily I had neat copies of all my songs with me apart from the one I sang Shane this morning. I grabbed a pen and wrote down the songs I wanted to cover and also the titles of my own songs. I walked over to my messenger bag beside Caitlyn and pulled out the folder containing all my songs and my song book which I had for Shane.
Ten minutes later after I had finally sorted myself out I was told to go into the recording studio to finally record my songs.
"Ok Mitchie when you're ready!" Todd said as I placed the headphones on my head, the music to Hallelujah started to play in my ears and I started to sing the familiar words.
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya ?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
As I finished the first verse I saw Jason out of the corner of my eye come into the room, he looked at me and I waved, he returned the wave and I carried on.
As I finished the song, Todd gave me thumbs up and began to speak through the speaker "Ok Mitchie you can take a brake," I nodded and walked out through the door, Todd left the room to answer his cell,
Shane came through the door and came over to me almost falling over his oversized feet and reached me finally; although he was out of breath and his hair was all over the place, he looked like he had been running. I kinked me left eyebrow up at him and a bemused smile fell upon my heart shaped, chapped slightly flaked lips. A giggle submerged out of my mouth.
"Ok, question for the out of breath man in the front row, why does my boyfriend look as if he just ran a ten mile marathon?" I found myself ask teasingly as he playfully glared at me.
"I'll get you back later, anyways it was my mom wanted to know how the album was going and how you were feeling…" he said walking over to the couch at the back of the room I followed him and plonked down between him and Caitlyn.
"Well, I'm feeling amazing, so far the albums going great and I can't wait to make more tracks!" I smiled at him. Shane's head came down towards mine and he kissed me sweetly, the kiss got a little deeper, I forgot Caitlyn was sat next to me until she started making a gagging noise.
"Save the PDA for when you are on your own!" she spoke up, just as she was saying it Nate walked in the room and Caitlyn jumped up to fling herself in Nate's arms, pushing him against the wall to kiss him, both Shane and I chuckled, Shane lent down to whisper in my ear,
"Do you want to go somewhere private?" I nodded, Shane stood up and held his hand out to me pulling me up. We walked out the room hand in hand, I halted by Caitlyn and Nate still pressed up against the wall kissing,
"Save the PDA for when you are on your own!" I mimicked Caitlyn's earlier comment and carried on through the door, Shane laughed as we walked along the corridor,
"You hungry?" Shane asked turning to me, putting his arm around my shoulder, I nodded and we turned down the corridor to the entrance of the building, presuming he was taking me somewhere. "Starbucks?" I smiled widely, I love Starbucks especially their tea.
As we walked out of the revolving doors of the entrance to the building, a swarm of paparazzi came at us like a swarm of bees on something that had just kicked their hive. Flashes went off in every direction, I couldn't even see where I was going, luckily Shane was still attached to my hand and thankfully he was pulling me away from the mob. I noticed a large man in front of us, he was guiding us through the crowd to the Starbucks on the opposite side of the street, at that moment I loved this man. I wondered how long it was going to be before I actually got used to the constant attention from all the paparazzi, I mean now I am Shane Grey's girlfriend and the press now know about us, I am going to have to.
Finally we got out of the huge crowd and the guy was now behind us keeping the reporters at bay, Shane broke out into a run and dragged me along with him we crashed through the doors of Starbucks, Shane turned to me,
"Mitchie, baby, I am so so sorry I forgot that we came through the back entrance so that didn't happen, are you ok?" Shane said putting his hands on the side of my face and looking deep into my eyes, I nodded. I was shaken, I was, that kind of thing had never happened to me before and I didn't know whether I liked the spotlight. It was hard singing in Final Jam but when Shane appeared on that stage, it felt like it was just me and him, I felt safe; I knew that if he was there he wouldn't let me choke in front of all those people and my friends as if it was just me and him in the room no one else. I felt similar when we were going through the crowd of paparazzi, I knew that as long as Shane was there he wouldn't let anything happen to me, ever. Shane pulled me to him and hugged him as tight as he could without hurting me, "I'm going to get us some drinks and a snack what do you want?" he asked, still embracing me,
"A double chocolate muffin and a very milky tea please!" my comfort food, whenever I felt like I needed it, that's where I would be the nearest Starbucks. He nodded, and went over to the counter; I took a seat furthest away from the window. I didn't want to risk being photographed again. Shane came back moments later with a double chocolate muffin and two large mugs. He sat down across the table from me and handed me the mug of steaming liquid, I put it to my lips quickly and took a huge gulp of tea, my throat burned as it slid down, my face crumpled and I saw Shane's face. Worry. Over the last 3 days he has worried about me everyday. He's going to be really overprotective. I thought to myself as I halved the muffin and offered it to him he took it smiling,
"Thanks" he tore it in half and popped a half into his mouth, he swallowed it, "Are you sure you're alright?" he asked again, I thought hard, I wasn't alright and I wasn't going to lie to him, if we were going to be together I needed to be honest with him.
"No," I looked down into my mug of tea, "It really shook me up, I know it's only photographers but it was just a surprise and I thought I was going to faint." Shane's eyes went wide as I said it, I knew I really shouldn't have said it.
"What?!" Shane had a look of concern on his face.
"I'm claustrophobic, and I fainted once and I didn't want that to happen!" I said eating my muffin.
"Are you going to be ok to finish recording?" Shane asked me, I didn't want to let them down but I was finding it hard to talk let alone sing. I shook my head. "Want me to take you back to the hotel?" I nodded my mouth full of tea. "Ok, you ready to face that crowd again?" I nodded again, trying to drink the last of the tea. I stood up as Shane dialled a number on his cell "Hi, yeah we're at Starbucks across the street from the recording studio, we need picking up, can you get here as fast as you can please? Alright thanks!" Shane snapped his cell shut.
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back!" I rushed off to the bathroom, once in there, I went over to the sink and splashed my face with cold water, I looked at myself in the mirror, I was a mess, my hair all over the place, my mascara all over my cheeks from the water. I heard a knock at the door,
"Mitchie the cars here are you alright?" It was Shane. I wiped the black from under my eyes as best as I could, then went back out to Shane. I took his hand and we went out to the car, which now was swarming with paparazzi. We came out the doors and ran straight through the crowd to the car, as soon as I had shut the door the driver had turned on the engine. We were speeding off away from the crowd and back to the hotel.
So what did you think of it? I want to know what you thought of the song I wrote. So please hit that green box and the bottom.
Thanks, and I will try and get the next chapter up after my exams have finished.
