I'm back again lol. I'm just gonna say thanks and get straight on with it…
Fluffiness I think.
Making The Most of What's Left
Neither one of them knew exactly how long it was that that they sat there and just watched the stars together. All they knew was they wouldn't have changed the long night for the world. For her to be back in his arms after about a year apart felt like a dream for him and it was one of those dreams where he wished he would never ever wake up. Simply because if he did, he knew that he wouldn't be Shane Gray anymore. He would just be the rock star. Whereas when he's with her, he's Shane Gray, the guy, not the rock star.
Mitchie couldn't help but awake the next morning with the largest grin plastered on her face. Even if this was the last day of Camp Rock she was just too happy about her and Shane to dwell upon that. That was until breakfast later on.
"Good morning everyone," she grinned as she approached what was now known as their table. She looked over everyone and saved a special grin for Shane who winked at her. She bit her lip as she blushed and sat down next to Jason and Caitlyn.
"You got in late last night," Caitlyn smirked as she whispered to Mitchie. Mitchie's eyes left Shane's as she turned to her friend.
"And?" she giggled. Caitlyn shook her head and resumed her conversation with Nate who was restlessly attempting to grab hold of Caitlyn's hand however; Caitlyn was continually flailing it about as she talked about some story or another. Mitchie giggled and stood up once more. Shane's head snapped up noticing her.
"I'm going to go get some food," she said and she left to go to the breakfast queue.
"Oh me too," Shane cleared his throat as he stood.
"Dude, you got food right there." Jason said pointing at Shane's full tray.
"Oh right yeh, that's…, for you Jase. Merry Last Day of Camp Rock," Shane grinned as he pushed the tray towards a beaming Jason.
"This is my favourite holiday," Jason said happily as he tucked into Shane's scrambled eggs.
Jason received a few odd glances before he smiled at them all and they all shook there heads, muttering under their breaths 'oh dear Jason'.
"Hmm, the chocolate chip pancakes look extremely yummy this morning."
Mitchie laughed gently as she turned and saw Shane poking his head over her shoulder at the endless amounts of food. "They do look good don't they?" he nodded and grinned his trademark Shane Gray grin; the only one reserved for Mitchie of course. "That's probably because I made them you know?" she said as she slipped two onto a plate and continued down the line.
"Now who's the big head?" Shane said sarcastically.
Mitchie turned and faced him again, opening her mouth in mock shock. "Fine I'll just put this one back then if you don't want to share it with Me." This time Shane's mouth opened and he grabbed her hand that was then reaching out for a spatula so she could replace one of the pancakes.
"I didn't say it was a bad thing," he huskily whispered into her ear. She giggled softly before removing her hand from the spatula and making her way down the queue once more.
"Good save."
"I thought so," he wiggled his eyebrows and pushed in front of her picking the tray up for her. She laughed again as they made their way back to the table.
Mitchie resumed her seat next to Jason and Caitlyn and watched as Shane looked at his old seat before shrugging and plonking himself in the seat opposite her.
"Ditching your friends?" Mitchie nodded her head to where Tess and Ella were discussing the importance of having the best foundation they could buy.
"I don't fit in well with them," he stated and she raised her eyebrows. "I apparently don't have the right complexion for mineral foundation or something like that." Mitchie laughed and Shane reached across to grab her hand. She allowed him to play with her fingers as she talked to Caitlyn.
"Where did Lola go?" Mitchie asked realising it was Lola's seat in which Shane was now sitting.
"Packing. Her parents are picking her up earlier."
Mitchie smiled sadly realising suddenly that everyone would soon be leaving. Shane glanced up from his pancake and furrowed his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" He asked, rubbing her hand with his thumb gently. Mitchie looked down and sighed; leading the entire table to look across at her.
"We're all leaving soon." She mumbled. Those four words stuck in everyone's heads realising she was right.
Tess, Peggy and Ella would all be heading back to California. Lola would be going home to New York. Barron and Sanders would be going to Boston. Caitlyn and Mitchie would be going home to New Jersey seeing as Caitlyn had moved there with her family last year. And Connect Three would be going…well; wherever their 'people' would be taking them.
"Don't worry about it guys, we'll see each other as much as we can," Nate said trying to be positive.
"Yeah!" Tess exclaimed. "And we've got Mitchie's birthday coming up! You're having a party right?" Mitchie smiled as she nodded. "Then we'll all be there."
"We should totally celebrate the New Year together!" Peggy said excitedly.
"New Years not for ages Peggy!" Caitlyn stated.
Mitchie tuned out the endless conversation of when everyone would meet up and stuff to look at Shane. His eyes were looking at their joint hands and his face looked full in thought.
"What's wrong?" she asked gently. His eyes left their hands and he looked up at her.
"Take a walk with me?" he whispered. She nodded and he stood up; letting go of her hand during the process. He looked down and stretched the hand that was joined with hers only seconds ago. It weirdly felt empty to him. Mitchie watched what he was doing and walked around the table. She grabbed his hand and smiled warmly up at him. He smiled distantly back before they made their way out of the hall and down to their dock.
He sat down and pulled her down as close to him as possible.
"Shane…" she whispered, he sighed and looked out to the lake.
"I can't stop thinking about everything. The way I hurt you but, especially the way it'd going to be so hard to not see you everyday now I have you back you know?"
She smiled and kissed him, startling him slightly. "I understand and I agree. But, I love you ok? So, I can say everything will be fine or as close to fine as possible." She giggled and he smiled again.
"I truly am sorry." He murmured.
"I know…and that's the past now ok? Let's concentrate on here and now." He leant down and kissed her again before getting interrupted by the group.
"Cars are arriving." Jason said monotonously. Mitchie nodded and stood up, Shane stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his chin on her shoulder.
"I can't believe this is the last time we're going to see this place." Peggy said looking around still in awe after all these years.
"I've been coming here for six years now…it feels weird to not be able to come back." Caitlyn said gently. Nate smiled sadly at her before wrapping his arms around her waist like Shane was to Mitchie.
"Three years." Mitchie whispered staring at the ground. "Three weird and yet wonderful years." Shane sighed and kissed the side of her head.
"You know…it was good to come home after a three year absence." Shane said. "It's an amazing feeling to feel home again."
Everyone nodded and smiled sadly at each other.
"Guys…" Mitchie whispered looking up this time. "Let's make the most of what we've got now. Let's live everyday from now on like it's our last. We've got nothing to lose." Everyone's smile gradually became bigger and they all nodded.
"Our whole lives. They are just starting you guys." Tess said.
Everyone nodded once again and stepped forward for a last group hug; something Jason had introduced to them three years previous.
Horns honking were heard in the distance and the campers all broke apart. Tears slowly made their way down the girl's cheeks. Mitchie turned in Shane's arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck crying gently into his shoulder. "Give us a moment? We'll be there in a minute." Shane said as the others nodded and slowly began walking back to the Camp's entrance and car park.
"Shane." She whispered into his neck.
"Mhmm."
"Throughout everything, I've never regretted a single moment that I've had you in my life." she pulled away from him.
"Can I tell you a secret?" he asked as he wiped away her tears with his thumbs. She nodded as she sniffled. "Neither have I and like you said, we've got the rest of our lives and I don't think I'm about to regret a moment of that either." she smiled at him.
"I love you."
"I love you too Mitch. So, so much." they leant forwards and once again, both felt the endless amounts of fireworks going off and they both knew that nothing would ever change that.
…
"I'm going to miss you Mitch!" Remi howled as tears fell down her cheeks. "Don't forget to call and IM and everything!"
"I'll miss you too Remi and I promise!" the girls hugged for a while before Remi's mother told her it was time to go. Remi smiled at everyone who she had become great friends with and waved at Shane.
"Bye guys." She said to them. She turned around and looked directly at the huge Camp Rock sign. "Bye camp." She whispered as she stepped into the car.
Now, it was just Mitchie, Caitlyn and the Connect Three boys left, apart from a few random campers. Nate and Shane's arms were wrapped protectively around their girlfriend's shoulders and Mitchie was holding onto one of Jason's hands.
Connie Torres stepped out of the kitchen and said goodbye to Brown. Mitchie knew it was time to say goodbye…no matter how much she didn't want to.
"Mitchie? Caitlyn? You ready to go." They nodded weakly at Connie before turning to the boys.
"See you soon Jase." Mitchie said as she broke away from Shane and hugged Jason.
"Love ya Mitch." He said as they continued to hug.
"Love ya too." they pulled away and Caitlyn took her turn to hug Jason. Mitchie stood in front of Nate for a moment before he opened his arms for her and she jumped into them.
"See you extremely soon sis ok?" she smiled as she pulled back and nodded enthusiastically. Mitchie and Caitlyn then walked towards their respected other.
Mitchie watched as Nate lifted Caitlyn in the air and swung her around in one full circle before placing her on the ground and kissing her with so much passion Mitchie was sure Caitlyn was shocked. She turned back to Shane, biting her lip.
"Come here would ya?" Shane laughed and she launched herself at him; he staggered back a few steps but, regained his balance as he kissed her full on. Her legs wrapped around his waist and he held onto her for dear life.
"Don't go." She whispered as she pulled back from the kiss. "Don't leave me."
"I will never leave you baby. Never." And surprisingly, after everything that had happened that summer at Camp Rock, his words were the only reassurance she needed. She kissed him again as he placed her feet back on the ground. "I love you."
"I love you too." Mitchie glanced to where her mother was standing and knew that is was now, definitely time to go. "Bye," she whispered giving him one last kiss and hug.
He watched as she ran off to the car with Caitlyn in tow. "Bye," he finally whispered as he watched Connie's catering van drive off.
"So…summer's really over." Nate said softly.
"Nah…there's still four more weeks left of summer and then…the rest of our lives." Shane said. And he would do anything to make sure Mitchie and him were together. Absolutely anything.
Nate and Shane turned on their heels to walk to where Brown was standing. Jason continued to look at where the van had disappeared to before turning around confused. He shouted,
"Hey! So, camp's over? Is that why everyone left?"
I know it was shorter than usual but, it was only a goodbye sort of chapter. Though it's not goodbye.
Next chapter we'll see how Shane, Mitchie, Nate, Caitlyn and Jason are coping after being away from each other for a week. And trust me…it's not good ;)
Also, more people voted for Ella and Jason to be together but, having an idea pop into my head as I saw a Camp Rock trailer on the Disney Channel earlier I think I'm going to go with an original character.
So, thanks anyway for choosing who you would have wanted and I hope Jason's future girlfriend doesn't disappoint all of you.
