Chapter 9! Sorry it's so short, but I couldn't think of anything else for this chapter. Anyway, hope you like it. Review and show the Camp Rock love!


"How'd that song go again?" Caitlyn asked me as we stood in line, getting our breakfast. I cleared my throat and gave my best impersonation of Shane.

"I'm waiting for the moonlight, so I can find you in this perfect dream. Dont think that you can hide there in the shadows. Girl, you're not invisible, you're all that I can see,"

"Nice," I turned and saw Shane walking up behind me. "But unless you're a guy, you really shouldn't sing that," I rolled my eyes and shoved him a little.

"Hey Shane," Caitlyn spoke up. "have you seen...uh, the rest of Connect 3?"

"Uh, yeah I think they're on their way over here. Why?" Shane asked. I turned to Caitlyn, who was looking a bit flush.

"Uh, I just, uh... wanted to... talk to them about music," Shane looked at me, confused. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Caitlyn.

"Caitlyn, Shane knows," she looked shocked.

"You know?" she asked him.

"If you mean you and Nate, yes," Caitlyn's mouth hung opened some and she looked sad.

"Cait, don't worry. I'm not one to gossip, so I wont tell anyone,"

"But you told Shane," she was right.

"Alright, I admit that, but I wont tell anyone else, ok?" she sighed and gave me a small smile.

"Ok,"

"Now go find your boyfriend," I whispered and shoved her out the door before walking back over to Shane.

"So Caitlyn and Nate are dating?" Shane asked as he piled his plate with pancakes. His eating habits had definitely changed.

"Yeah, they really like each other and I'm happy for them," I smiled at him and put a couple pancakes on my plate. Shane and I walked over to a free table and sat beside each other, eating like no one else was there.

"So what are you guys doing after Camp Rock?" I asked after Jason, Nate and Caitlyn joined us, interrupting our breakfast. Camp was already on it's fourth day and there were only six days left.

"We're going back on tour," Nate spoke with half a pancake in his mouth. Caitlyn blushed and everyone else rolled their eyes.

"How long is this one going to be?" Caitlyn asked Nate, already looking depressed. Nate swallowed and looked at Caitlyn for a while, not speaking.

"Six weeks," Shane spoke up. I turned to him and felt the corners of my mouth fall. Six weeks? That was longer than a day for tv soap operas.

"Where are you going?" I asked, looking Shane in the eyes.

"South America," My eyes widened. South America? Why was Connect 3 going there? Who knew Connect 3 over there? I can't say more than 50. Connect 3 barely had over 10,000 fans right here in America. How could they be more popular in another country?

"When?" I asked and Caitlyn stood up, walking out of the cafeteria. Nate running after her.

"The day after Camp is over,"

"The day after Camp ends?" I asked. he nodded. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to worry," he said.

"You didn't want me to worry? Shane you could have at least brought it up the first day, just so I could have had some time to think,"

"I'm sorry. I feel bad enough, as it is," I sighed and put my hand on his back.

"Next time, just tell me. And I'm sorry too," I kissed his cheek and we put away our trays.


"My state of mind has finally got the best of me, I need you next to me,"I sang to myself in our cabin. Caitlyn made a mix of guitar, drums and violin for my song. I wasn't sure what to call it yet. "I'll try to find..." I trailed off, trying to think of something else to write down for the lyrics. "...A way that... I can get to you, just wanna get to you,"

"Good, really good. Definitely not finished, but good." Caitlyn said and smiled at me.

"Thanks," I blushed.

"Are you gonna sing this for Final Jam?"

"Possibly. I'm not sure yet." she nodded.

"You think Shane will like it?" she asked.

"How'd you know it was about Shane?" I asked, feeling confused about her knowledge on a song I wasn't even finished writing.

"Mitchie, I know you well enough to know that it's about Shane," I tilted my head "and it's also right in the lyrics," I thought about that. I'll try to find a way that I can get to you, just wanna get to you.Yup, she was right. I smirked at her and closed my songbook.

"No wonder Nate likes you," I said and she smirked this time, only whacking me with a pillow as she did it. But as soon as the pillow hit the floor, her smile faded.

"I can't believe their leaving for 6 months,"

"How'd your talk with Nate go?" I asked. She sighed and looked away.

"It went well enough for me to wish I was going with him," I nodded.

"I know what you mean. Shane's leaving and I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it that long," I frowned and stood up, walking over to the window. The guys were out by the lake, working on their Final Jam performance. Shane and Nate were working on their back flip thing. Shane grabbed Nate's foot and pulled up as hard as he could, until Nate was off the ground, spinning in a circle. He landed, a little shaky, but not bad. They high-fived and tried again. I turned away and saw Caitlyn watching me.

"At least their having fun and not whining about it like us," I nodded and crossed my arms.

"But we can still make this a fun six days. I need to finish my song, but I can still squeeze in time with Shane," she nodded. "And you can still spend time with Nate since you're not performing for Final Jam," she nodded again, smiling this time. "Caitlyn, we're gonna make this the best summer ever, no matter how long it takes,"

"Agreed".
