Scared About Us

Nate's Point of View

I watched as pain flashed across Shane's face before he composed his face into the usual blank look he wore these days but the pain in his eyes was still clear. I glanced the way he was looking and saw that Mitchie wasn't with Meghan anymore, but someone else was. Meghan laughed at something the boy next to her was saying. A wave of pain knocked the breath out of me as I watched her beautiful face form her usual bright, perfect smile to the boy. Almost as if she could fell me watching her, she turned and caught the expression on my face and gave me a sad look. I grabbed Shane and fought my way through the crowd and over to Meghan as the boy left.

"Where's Mitchie?" I asked, trying to keep the pain out of my voice.

"She ran off in tears right after the song," Meghan said quietly.

Shane's Point of View

I tuned out everything after Meghan's comment. All I wanted to do was get away from Camp Rock, even just for a little while.

"I'm going for a drive," I mumbled.

Mitchie's Point of View

Guilt and pain flooded my body. Tears were streaking down my face and into my pillow. I had never meant to hurt him. I cried but not for the pain I felt for breaking up with him, instead I cried for all the pain I had ever caused him. I knew the hallucinations were going to start any minute.

The sound of a strumming guitar made me look up. There was Shane on the end of my bed. He looked up and said in a voice filled with pain, "Why, Mitchie?" Tears fell down his face. The tears fell even harder down my face as I looked into his pain-filled eyes.

The cabin door opened. I looked up and, before I could stop myself, asked, "Shane?"

"No," Nate answered.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about…" I trailed off.

"It's okay. I just came by to see if you're okay."

"I'm fine."

"And to ask you something," he finished like I had never spoken.

"What?" I asked, curious.

"You're like my sister and Shane's like my brother. I hate seeing you guys in pain," he said softly. "Why did you break up with him?"

"I don't want to talk about this," I said as I started to get up. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back down on the bed. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered writing the letter.

Nate's Point of View

I pulled out a small tape recorder and hid it behind my back, making sure Mitchie wouldn't see it.

"I was… scared," she said quietly. That one sentence seemed to open a flood gate. I had to focus to catch everything she said. "Shane's, well, Shane. He's famous and perfect and I'm just a normal girl. I'm not special at all. I'm always scared that he's going to realize that and dump me for someone else. Ever since we got together I've been scared."

"How can you think you're plain?" I said, bewildered. "Have you not seen the way Shane looks at you?"

Tears started flowing down her cheeks. I turned off the tape recorder and put it in my pocket.

"You okay, Mitchie?" I asked cautiously.

"Go away," she muttered. I obliged.

When I was out of view of the cabin, I pulled out the tape recorder and smiled. Part 1 of the plan was completed.
