Everyone Has a Past Chapter 10, a camp rock fanfic

Nate's Prove

I tapped the table impatiently, where was she? I know she wants everything to return to normal but I can't help it, what if she realises that she's too good for me, like I already know she is. She should just leave my sorry ass especially after what I put her through.

I felt myself rise from my seat ready to walk out the door and go find her, Nate calm down, I told myself as I gripped the table and forced myself back into the seat, she'll be here soon.

"Hey Natey."

I rolled my eyes as Danielle strutted past throwing her best smile at me as she batted her eyelashes. What did I ever see in her in the first place?

I simply pretended not to see her; maybe she'd go away if I ignored her I thought as I placed my head on the table and turned it so I could ignore Danielle and watch for Caitlyn.

Just then she came through the door, I couldn't help but smile widely as she walked towards me with a matching smile on her face.

"Hello beautiful." I smiled.

"Hey." She practically sang, before she kissed me on the cheek.

"Someone's in a good mood." I smiled as a pulled her gently onto my lap.

"Class went surprisingly well." She grinned.

"I'm guessing she didn't bother you."

She shook her head, "Nope." Then a small evil smile lit up her face. "She can't really bug me considering I have the only thing she wants." She smiled before kissing me lightly on the lips.

Wow, I should've given her room sooner I thought to myself.

"Ew, really you's two, people need to eat in here." Shane moaned behind us.

We both giggled against each other's lips before getting up and going to the buffet table.

"Look, the signup sheet for Final Jam's up." Mitchie pointed out as she scooped some cream potatoes onto her plate.

"Aw, yeah." I said taking a quick glance at where she was gesturing with her head.

"Are you guys gonna signup?"

Mitchie's question caught me off guard, "We haven't really talked about it."

"I don't see why you's don't, you's are amazing." Caitlyn smiled.

"I think we should." Jason commented.

"Yeah, it might be fun." Shane added. "What do you think, Nate?"

I felt slightly uncomfortable as everyone began watching me waiting for my answer, "Um...sure."

"Hold this." Jason smiled shoving his plate into my free hand and running towards the sheet. I watched him scribble something on it then he was back at my side taking his plate out of my hand.

"So, what about you guys?" Shane said smiling at the three girls, who were busy pondering over what they should have for dessert.

"What about us?" Mitchie asked, not taking her eyes off the selection of desserts.

"Aren't you's gonna signup for Final Jam?" Shane explained.

"Yes." Caitlyn piped up loudly and quickly, making us all look at her in confusion. "I mean, if Mitchie and Ella want to do something with me, I'm just a producer after all." She giggled slightly at the last part.

Caitlyn's Prov

Wow, I nearly blew it already; not telling them about this is going to be hard.

Nate's Prov

"Actually, my advance dancing class is entering as a group, sorry Caity." Ella smiled apologetically.

"I'll do something with you." Mitchie smiled brightly.

"Then it's agreed?" Jason asked excitement clear in his eyes.

Both girls nodded.

"Yay!" He squeaked excitedly and as before he shoved his plate once again into my hand and ran towards the signup sheet.

Nate's Prov

"So, what song do you guys want to do for Final Jam?" Jason asked as he flipped through the pages of his note pad.

"Um...I dunno." I answered confusedly. It was only two hours ago we decided to do Final Jam which was like a week away and Jason had become an over excited, very organised teen.

"Well, we have to decide now, it's a week away." Jason said looking up from his note pad and frowning slightly.

"O.k., Jase. Why don't you decide what song we do?" Shane smiled.

Jason's face lit up at the idea, "O.k." He grinned as he flipped more rapidly through the pages. "What about....no...well there's...no...wait I found it!" He grinned jumping up slightly in his seat. "Hollywood, it's an awesome song."

"Jase, we haven't played "Hollywood" in ages." Shane complained.

"Well, we'll just have to practice it non-stop." Jason smiled. "Starting tonight." He slipped in quickly.

"Jase, I had plans with Caity tonight." I whined. "Could we not start tomorrow?"

"Yeah, Jase why is this so important?" Shane asked.

"Because we've come here for four years and never once did Final Jam." Jason complained.

Jason was right we came here for four years and we never took part in the camp's biggest event, what was with that? And who were we to take something that made Jason so happy away?

"O.k. Jase I'm in, I'll text Caity now and tell her I can't meet up." I smiled lopsidedly.

"Thanks." He smiled. "Shane?"

"Sure." Shane smiled.

Caitlyn's Prov

"O.k. guys, I'll see you's after rehearsal." Ella smiled.

"Bye Ella." I smiled from my bed.

"Have fun." Mitchie smiled. "It must be a lot of fun to be a part of a big group for Final Jam." Mitchie smiled when Ella was gone.

"Yeah, but we can have fun too." I smiled.

Beep! Beep!

"Can't make tonight, Jason wants to practice. Sorry! Nate xx"

"Who was that?" Mitchie asked.

"Nate, the guys are practicing tonight so he can't meet up." I answered as I texted Nate back.

"How are you two now?" Mitchie asked as she moved to sit at the foot of my bed.

"We're good, I told him this afternoon I didn't want him acting so nice all the time. Since then everything's going unbelievably well." I smiled. In more ways than one I thought to myself.

"That's great." Mitchie smiled before her eyes lit up slightly. "How about we decide what we're doing for Final Jam now?"

"Sure, have you written any songs recently?"

"Um...yeah, I've written one but it isn't finished yet."

"Well, we could finish it together and then work on the composition together using my laptop." I suggested.

"That sounds awesome." Mitchie sung the final word as she practically skipped across the room and collected her song book before floating across the room back to my bed.

Nate's Prov

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fires in our hearts
Reminisce on memories cause we're gone

The song ended for what seemed the 100th time.

"I can't take anymore practicing, Jason, it feels like my fingers are going to fall off." I complained holding up my finger tips which were red raw from playing the guitar.

"Yeah, I'm getting really tired Jase." Shane commented.

"Please guys just one more time." Jason pleaded as he put on the best puppy dog pout I've ever seen a boy do.

Shane and I rolled our eyes together, "Fine." We chorused together.

"But this is the last time." Shane clarified.

"For tonight." Jason smiled back.

I rolled my eyes we'd be playing like pros by Final Jam if Jason planned to do this every night.

"O.k., 3, 2, 1." Shane counted.

As time was ticking
We were winning
And it all was going as planned
Politicians stand between the lines
Of making headlines, street signs
Saying you're going the wrong way
Fading faster now

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fires in our hearts
Reminisce on memories cause we're gone
And don't forget to
Hold back your thoughts
And live like robots
Cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories cause we're gone
We're gone, so gone

Fallen soldiers, all around us
But we're still standing strong
Embarrassing and contradicting
Cause now we're making headlines, primetime
Saying what a story!
Billboards, packed tours
Don't forget

And game over, you're done
Out of left field we won
Pack our bags
Yeah, we'll run
Hollywood here we come

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fires in our hearts
Reminisce on memories cause we're gone

We all smiled at each other at the end of the song, we had been practicing for three hours and we had a song we hadn't played in year down already.

We were pulled out of our praising of each other when someone started applauding.

We all jumped around to where the applauding was coming from, standing at the back of the cabin, Shane taught in, was a short round man with slicked back black hair wearing an expensive looking suit.

"You boys play well." He commented as he walked towards us.

"Um...thank you." I said still slightly confused about who this man was and what he was doing here.

He must have noticed the confusion as he chuckled slightly, "I'm sorry I didn't even introduce myself, I'm Dave Worskie VP of Red Bedrooms Records." He smiled putting his hand out for each of us to shake.

"Hi, I'm Shane, this is Nate and this is Jason." Shane introduced us.

"I know." Dave chuckled again. "I've been looking for you's. My company comes here every year to look for new talent, and a few people have been talking about you's so I had to see for myself, and I have to say they weren't over reacting about your talent, you's play incredibly well together."

"Thanks." I smiled, while I started listing the people that could have told him about us playing together in my head.

"So let's get down to business." Suddenly Dave's attitude turned very serious. "Every year we pick 5 people or groups." He smiled gesturing to us. "that we think has the talent we could possibly represent."

I felt my face light up and when I looked at the other two boys their faces wore the same expression.

"We then watch the 5 performances at Final Jam before deciding who we want. So what do you boy's think?" Dave smiled.

"This sounds awesome!" We all chorused together.

"I can't believe you chose us!" Shane smiled.

"We'll have to practice for at least 5 hours a day." Jason smiled.

"I can't wait to tell Caity." I smiled widely.

"Oh." Dave's tone made us all stop our celebrating. "The thing is we don't want anyone telling anyone they were chosen."

"Oh." I frowned slightly. "O.k."

"Thank you." He smiled before looking at his watch. "Well I should be off; I'll see you guys at Final Jam." And with that he was gone.

We were suddenly filled with a new found energy when Dave left that we ended up playing the song at least 10 more times.

A/N: The song is "Hollywood" by The Jonas Brothers, I don't own it obviously.
