Disclaimer: I don't own the anything!!
The next week the way Shayla was woken up was similar to the week before except the text message wasn't from Nate it was from Shane.
"SOS (not the song) come over ASAP for damage control!" Shayla was confused and the text message didn't tell her anything about what was wrong so she got ready and headed over to the Gray house.
"Shane?" Shayla called as she walked into the house.
"Shhhhh! Nate will hear you!" Shane exclaimed softly.
"And that's a bad thing why?" Shayla asked.
"Because of this!" Shane said as he shoved a magazine in her hands. It was People magazine and on the cover was a picture of her and Shane hugging outside her house. She realized this must've been the day of the video shoot. The headline was "Shane Gray Dates Mystery Blonde".
"Shane this is bad." Shayla said.
"Yah think?" He asked sarcastically.
"No need to get angry Shane!" Shayla exclaimed quietly.
"I'm sorry just read the article. They have pictures of me going into your house the day you wrote Invisible and coming out the next day in the same clothes. Pictures of us hugging. Pictures of me with my arm around you coming out of the video shoot. Nate is going to murder me when he finds out I slept over your house." Shane told her.
"He doesn't know?" Shayla asked shocked.
"Well I wasn't gonna tell him that I slept over your house cause you were bawling your eyes out over him was I?" Shane said.
"True." Shayla said quietly.
"It gets worse Shay they're saying when I slept over I must've ignored my purity." Shane told her grimly.
"They think we slept together?!" Shayla exclaimed. Shane nodded.
"Listen we have a radio interview today. You should come and we can tell everyone that we're just friends and explain. We'll sing our duet for the movie and it'll be great publicity for you and Camp Rock."
"Have you been practicing? I'm not gonna go and embarrass myself because you haven't been practicing." Shayla told him.
"Yes Mom" He laughed. She stuck her tongue out at him. Just then Nate made his way down the stairs. Shayla shot Shane a frantic look.
"Shay why don't you talk to Natey here while I go join the witness protection program." Shane said attempting to run but Shayla grabbed his arm tight.
"Oh no mister! If I go down I'm bringing you down with me!" Shayla exclaimed. Shane sighed.
"What's going on?" Nate asked totally oblivious.
"Ok Nate it's not what it looks like. So don't get mad." Shayla told him.
"Why would I be mad?" Nate asked still confused. Shayla sighed and handed him the magazine. His eyes went wide and he quickly flipped to the page of the article. He read silently for a minute before dropping the magazine. Shane felt Nate's glare on him.
"YOU SLEPT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND?!" Nate yelled. Shayla could almost see the steam coming out of his ears he was so mad. Nate came at Shane who ran up the stairs and locked himself in his room.
"SHANE JOSEPH GRAY YOU BETTER GET OUT HERE SO I CAN PROPERLY BEAT YOU TO A PULP!!" Nate yelled banging on Shane's door. Jason Sr., Denise and Jason gave Shayla a quizzical look from the kitchen. Shayla picked up the magazine and brought it over to them.
"Remember the night Shane fell asleep at my house. Well the press thinks we slept together. I'd explain the plan and everything but I have to stop Nate from killing Shane." Shayla told them. She turned and walked up the stairs and over to Nate. She put her arms around his waist and started kissing his neck.
"Go away I don't even want to see you right now." Nate said coldly.
"Natey, we didn't sleep together I swear!" Shayla exclaimed.
"Then what was he doing sleeping over your house huh?" Nate asked angrily, pulling her hands from his waist and turning to face her.
"I didn't want to have to tell you this Nate. The day we went to my house was the day we had lunch with you and Mikayla. I wrote Invisible during that lunch and Shane saw me writing and wanted to hear it. We went back to my house and I played if for him. I cried for so long afterwards because I couldn't bear the thought of you with her. Shane was comforting me and we fell asleep. That was it we didn't sleep together Nate. Please believe me I couldn't stand it if we had gotten together just to fall apart now. Please don't break up with me" Shayla lost it then and started crying on his shoulder. Nate felt horrible. He had jumped to conclusions and made Shayla cry.
"Shhh! It's okay! I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. I know you and Shane would never do that." Nate told her as he hugged her to him.
"What happened? Why is Shayla crying?" Shane asked opening his door.
"She thought I was going to break up with her." Nate said.
"Aw Shay everything's gonna be okay! We're gonna do the interview clear everything up and we'll laugh about this in 10 years!" Shane exclaimed. Shayla wiped her eyes and giggled a little.
"What interview?" Nate asked.
"The radio interview we have today I figured we could take Shayla, me and her could straighten out everyone, tell them we're just friends. Then we'll perform our duet from Camp Rock." Shane told him.
"Good idea!" Nate exclaimed. He pulled Shayla to him and gave her a reassuring kiss on her forehead.
- At The Interview-
"Please welcome Connect Three!" Tom (the interviewer) exclaimed. Cheers from the crowd outside literally shook the windows.
"Does that ever get tiring? The screaming girls?" Tom asked.
"No it's a lot of fun. You'll see a girl that you think is really hot and she'll be like 'Oh my god! You're Shane Gray!' and you'll be like "Yes, yes I am." Shane told them.
"Now Shane you're still hitting on other girls? I think we've all read the People article about you and your mystery blonde." Tom told him. Nate gripped the table so hard his knuckles were turning white but this went unnoticed.
"Well we brought her with us today so why don't we bring her out? Shayla get in here!" Shane exclaimed. Shayla walked in and took the empty seat in between Shane and Nate.
"This is our best friend for as long as I can remember Shayla Correy, and we're not dating" Shane said.
"Yeah me and Shane are just best friends. Us dating would be so weird. We got a big laugh out of the article though." Shayla said.
"When I slept over her house we were just catching up cause I had lost touch with her for about a year and we fell asleep at her house." Shane said.
"Yeah we both made vows to our families and to God that we would stay pure until marriage we wouldn't break those." Shayla told them.
"The best part is we're going to be seeing a lot more of each other these next few months because she's the leading lady in our upcoming movie Camp Rock." Shane said.
"So Shayla how old are you?" Tom asked.
"I'm 15. Nate and I actually have the same birthday. Our mothers met at the hospital and became good friends we grew up together." Shayla told him.
"Yeah but I'm older by a few hours." Nate said smirking.
"He always rubs it in my face." She said laughing.
"So who's your favorite Gray?" Tom asked.
"Don't make me choose!! That's not fair, they're all so great I just can't choose." Shayla said.
"Okay now we're going to hear Shayla and Shane's duet from Camp Rock." Tom said.
"What you all may not know is that Shayla wrote all the songs for the movie. She's really talented." Shane said smiling at her.
"Aw Shaney! You're too sweet!" Shayla exclaimed. "Okay here it goes…
Shayla: I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
to let you know
This is real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I've got to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real
This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
Shane: You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
Both: I need to find you
I gotta find you
Shayla: This is real
This is me
Both: I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let light shine on me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
Shayla: This is me
Shane: You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
Shayla: This is me
Shane: You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Both: Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me"
"Wow that definitely makes us look forward to Camp Rock! Tune in tomorrow for special guest Hannah Montana will be here." Tom said.
"Come on Shay-Shay we have that rehearsal to go to." Shane called grabbing Shayla's hand and pulling her towards the parking lot.
"Bye Natey! See you later!" Shayla exclaimed as she started running so Shane wouldn't pull her arm out of her socket. Nate felt like punching something. He knew that nothing was going on with Shayla and Shane but he couldn't fight his jealously of how close they were.
"Jason can you drop me off at Lilly's?" Nick asked. Lilly Truscott was his go to friend for girl advice and now he needed advice on how to get over his jealously.
"Okay, sure." Jason said. Ten minutes later they were at her house. Nate got out of the car and Jason drove away. He walked to the door and knocked.
"Hey Nate! Long time no see!" Lilly exclaimed when she saw him.
"Lil I need help. What do you do when you're jealous of your girl spending time with other guys even though you know nothings going on?" Nate asked.
"If you know nothings going on then you shouldn't be jealous. Trust in her Nate." Lilly told him softly.
"That's great advice thanks Lil!" Nate exclaimed. He started to walk away after all he did live just down the street.
"Wait! Nate I have to tell you something. This may not be a good time since you obviously have a girlfriend but please. I like you…a lot." Lilly said.
"Lil-" Nate started.
"I'm going to kiss you. Just once. If you don't feel the same I do then I'll leave you alone after that okay?" Lilly asked. She leaned closer and closer as she asked. Nate knew he should pull away but thoughts of Shayla and Shane acting buddy-buddy and the jealously he had felt. He was intoxicated by the smell of Lilly's perfume, the exact same perfume Shayla wore.
"Yes" He whispered even though he knew he would regret it. They kissed but he didn't feel any of the fireworks he felt when he kissed Shayla. There was a flash and they quickly pulled apart. Nate realized right then he was completely and totally screwed.
