Hello!
I am so sorry I didn't update sooner but if I'm honest I had a case of writers block but I'm back and this chapter is extra long just for you guys.
Enjoy :)
Mitchie's POV
The next morning I woke with a smile on my face as I recalled the glorious events of last night. I was sprawled out on my stomach; Shane's arm was stretched across my bare back with one of his legs tangled with mine.
The blinding sunshine caused my eyes to squint but as I went to burry my head in the pillow my glistening engagement ring caught my attention. The ring is absolutely stunning. Taking the time to examine it I noted that the diamond was held into place by a Celtic pattern that had smaller diamonds fitted into the spaces. It wasn't too flashy it was quite simple yet sophisticated, just my type.
Engrossed by the beauty of the ring I slowly felt a hand creep up my back and settled on top of my arm. Small kisses were placed on the back of my neck. Smiling I felt his breath on my ear and he breathed "Have you seen the inscription on the inside."
Shaking my head slowly I pealed the ring off of my finger and brought it up to eye level. On the inside I saw that he'd engraved the words 'My favourite song' into it. Chuckling at the reference to our song I twisted my head to face him and pecked his lips lightly.
Shane rolled onto his back revealing his toned chest that adorned some love bites after last night's fun. Smirking slightly I adjusted my position so my head lay on his chest. Glancing up at my fiancé I took the time to appreciate how beautiful he really is. His hair was disarray, slight stubble graced his face and he had a small relaxed smile on his face.
"You see something you like?" He teased and I blushed at being caught staring causing him to laugh. "You're adorable when you blush." He commented making face turn into a whole new shade of red which only made him laugh more. "Shut up." I mumbled into his chest.
"You know I'm only teasing you."
Smiling I positioned myself so that my face was just above his. Leaning down I made to kiss him. As the distance closed between us and as our lips were just inches apart I pulled away and rolled over to my side. A perplexed Shane opened his eyes, turned his head and came face to face with my smirk. "Two can play at that game." I stated.
His gobsmacked expression quickly faded as a smirk that matched my own adorned that pretty face and his eyes drifted downwards. Following his gaze I realised that during our little tease fest the covers had slipped from my upper body revealing my chest. Self-consciously I hastily pulled the sheets up to cover them. Although he's seen them before it was only during the night so they were slightly hidden at times, the fact that it's broad daylight and he could see everything left me slightly self-conscious.
Much to my dismay my rushed actions caused a frown to grace his lips. Averting my gaze in embarrassment, the movement from the bed indicated that he'd shifted closer to me. His hand ran through my hair down to my chin where he pulled my gaze up to meet him. "You're beautiful. You have no reason to hide from me, ever." He whispered and placed a sweet kiss to my forehead.
Positioning me on my side so that my face was level with his I said. "I know. Sometimes my insecurities get the better of me."
"I get it but no matter what anyone else says to me you're always beautiful, especially now free of make-up and gloriously naked." He commented as his hand reached under the covers and traced along my hip and resting it on my thighs. He groaned "The things you do to me, God you'll be the death of me."
Giggling I grabbed the hand that was resting on my hip and drew it up to my mouth to place soft kissed along his knuckles only to rest them between us.
For a while we sat in silence basking in each other's company until I shifted and asked "What time is it?"
Shifting to look over my shoulder he groaned and collapsed back down on the bed muttering "too early...the campers won't be up for another hour and a half at least."
"Should we tell the others before the campers wake or wait until later?" I asked, wondering how my parents will react to this.
"What do you wanna do?" He questions and I shrugged. Thinking about it I know that I want my parents to be the first ones to know so if we tell them afterwards I'm gonna have to conceal the ring from everyone else. "I think we should tell them now, they should be the first to know."
"Okay. We should probably get up then." Shane replied but made no move to get up.
"Yeah we should...besides I'm in desperate need of a shower considering you wore me out...twice." I stated reaching for the blanket that lay at our feet to wrap around me.
Getting up from the bed Shane unleashed a sound that was a cross between a whine and a groan making me giggle. With a surge of confidence I turned to face him. "You know we'd be doing the environment a favour if we'd shower together."
In a snap Shane sat upright, wide eyes and his jaw wide open. Smirking, I walked away to the bathroom loving the reaction I got from him. It honestly surprises me how much of a tease I can be.
Stepping into the shower the cascading hot water relaxed my muscles as I let out a breath of satisfaction.
So engrossed with the feel of the water I jumped when two arms wrapped around my wait and a pair of lips coated my shoulder with hot open mouthed kisses.
Biting my lip I tilted my head onto his shoulder giving him more access to my neck whilst trying to suppress a moan. Oh my, the things you do to me Gray.
Turning to face him I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his forehead to mine. The water drizzled down our bodies as Shane nuzzled his nose with mine. Pulling away slightly he reached over to grab the shampoo and tenderly ran his hands through the tresses of my hair, softly massaging my scalp before releasing me so I can wash it out.
Tender moments like this are ones I live for. Moments where simple gestures make my heart flutter and don't have any other implications, they're simply innocent.
After putting some clothes on we headed to the mess hall where most of the counsellors usually are as the majority decide to have breakfast before the hoards of campers came.
Upon entering we immediately headed over to where Jason, Nate, Brown, my parents and unfortunately Caitlyn were seated. My left hand that held my engagement ring was locked with Shane's concealing it.
Approaching the table I noticed that my mom was failing to conceal her curious smile which means that she was informed of Shane's plan. Rolling my eyes at her I said "Way to be subtle mom. Oh and meet your soon to be son-in-law."
For the first time ever my mom squealed as she engulfed both Shane and I into a hug. "Let me see the ring." She stated afterward grabbing my hand to examine the ring. "It's absolutely stunning...I can't believe my baby's getting married." She said as she pulled me into her arms. "I'm so proud of you."
Releasing me from her embrace she moved on to hug Shane as my dad came over to me. Like my mother, he also pulled me in for a hug as he spoke about how proud and happy he is for us. Pulling away I noticed that his eyes were slightly watery as he tried to contain his emotions, something I've only seen him do once or twice. "You made the right choice." He stated.
"You knew." I asked causing him to chuckle.
"Of course I knew, as did your mother. God, I don't think I've ever seen that boy so nervous when he came over to ask for permission." He said making my heart swell at the fact my gentleman of a fiancé wanted my parents' approval before anything.
A smirking Brown was next. "I guess I should thank you for setting up everything last night." I commented playfully.
"Well, you know there's no way Shane could have pulled off a romantic gesture like that." He replied which caused Shane to call out "Hey, I was the one that planned it all."
"And I put that plan into action." He retaliated prompting Shane to muster a combination of a glare and a pout causing everyone laugh.
Drawing me into his side to place a kiss on my head Brown let out a genuine smile. "All jokes aside I'm really happy for you guys. You've been through a lot and you deserve all the happiness in the world."
"Thanks Brown, for everything." Shane replied.
After giving us a brief hug he moved to side. As he did I felt the air being taken out of my lungs and I immediately knew I was in one of Jason's famous bear hugs. "YAY, this is so great. My best friend getting married to my adopted little sister." He exclaimed.
"Jas-Jason...can't...breathe." Shane panted.
Thankfully he released us and I let out a series of coughs but couldn't help the smile on my face from his reaction.
"Oh I have the best idea ever for the wedding but I'll need to train two doves for it." Shane was about to respond but he stopped him by saying "No Shane I'm not gonna tell you what I'm planning cause it'll ruin the surprise...oh no I gotta go the JR's are gonna be up in a minute and if I'm not there they'll go crazy...well crazier." He concluded and marched out of the Mess Hall blurting out "Smitchie Wedding is a go, go," making the majority of people in the room erupt into laughter.
Turning back to the remaining occupants of the table I was surprised to see that Nate had stepped forward with words of congratulations. "I may not have shown it in the past but I'm seriously happy for you guys and again I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused." He said reaching out a hand only for Shane, much to my surprise, to take it. It was a brief moment but one that held a lot of promise for the future but I'm not gonna lie I am very confused with this development. Offering me a smile to which I returned he sat back down at the table.
Now that I notice, everyone, with the exception of Jason, had returned to their seats and as my eyes roamed the rest of the room I saw that several other counsellors were paying close attention to our table. I smiled at them and they returned the gesture and turned my attention back to my family.
My parents were both still smiling at the two of us. However, although Brown and Nate were still smiling I noticed that they were casting cautious glances to the figure sitting in between them. Caitlyn or as Shane likes to call her the she-devil had said nothing as of yet but I know that whatever spiteful thing she does say will not damper my day.
Catching her gaze I recognised the smirk that plastered her face so I wrapped my arms around Shane's waist and gave her a pointed glance so she can get whatever it is she wants to say out.
I needn't say more because the she-devil finally decided to speak. "I guess I should say congratulations." She muttered dryly and I felt Shane's grip around my shoulders tighten a little. "I mean an engagement sure is a good way to curve some of the publicity from your little lies, so well played Grey."
"Caitlyn," Brown warned but Shane held up his hand to stop him from saying more.
"Oh yeah cause three months ago I found out that my fiancée's bitter ex best friends would reveal our most personal secrets during a last minute plan to visit Camp Rock." He stated sarcastically.
"Like I said the other week I don't give a crap about what you or anyone else thinks about me and Shane anymore so whatever your plan was failed. Oh and here's some advice instead of trying and failing to interfere in my life why don't you stop living in the past and get a life of your own." I added. "Oh and if you have one ounce of integrity left in you then you'd know what's good for you and won't even think about running off to your little blogger 'friend' with this news...the only reason we even let you know is because we wanted to share this news with those closest to us first. Sadly, you just happened to be in the same vicinity as them."
Scoffing she rolled her eyes, muttered a "whatever" and left the mess hall.
"Well said." Nate spoke and I shrugged.
"I'm not gonna let her ruin this moment for us, I just hope she doesn't leak this news to the press." I replied and situated myself on the bench across from him.
"You don't have to worry about that." Nate stated causing both Shane and I to raise our eyebrows in curiosity. Taking this as sign to continue he said. "Well the only good think about our drunken incident is that she revealed some pretty interesting thing about her past, something that neither her parents would be thrilled to hear."
"Well I for one couldn't care less about the she devil's indiscretions. All I wanna do is celebrate our engagement before we have to tackle those money leeching bastards." Shane said with a note of finality.
The rest of breakfast was spent in relative silence with the occasional small talk before the campers came rushing in. The sorrowful gaze etched upon their faces was enough to bring the reality that we are leaving Camp Rock today to light and dampened my mood slightly.
However, instead of dwelling on that though Shane and I headed back to our cabin to make sure everything was packed. As Shanes stuffed his last piece of clothing into his suitcase, I lounged on the bed browsing through the pictures on my phone when it suddenly pinged notifying an incoming message. Hey, I was wondering if I could come stay with you & Shane sometime cause I'm in desperate need of a New York City shopping spree experience ;) Kayla xxx
Smiling I immediately replied and curiously wondered if Shane had mentioned the proposal to his family. His mother hasn't contacted him since her outburst a few weeks back and I fear that until they sit down and talk about everything things will remain as it is.
"You seem to be deep in thought. Should I be worried?" He asked semi-seriously.
"Have you told your family about our engagement?"
Sighing he shook his head and sat on the very edge of the bed. Crawling to him I wrapped my arms around him comfortingly and waited for him to speak.
"I don't know if I can tell them. I mean the last time I saw them ended with me having a complete meltdown about dad's death, my mom having the audacity to question our relationship and use my dad's beliefs against us. I've had enough. I hate being the one to make all the effort to make things right. They don't know that I've been planning on proposing for months so they're just gonna insinuate that we're doing this to curve some of the bad publicity. I just don't want my family to ruin this for us."
Nuzzling his neck I placed a gentle kiss on it. "Look, I know things are right now but I think you should call them. Think of it this way, would you rather they find out the truth from you or read some sleazy inaccurate gossip site's version? If you don't want to talk to your mom just call Kayla, who by the way is coming to stay with us sometime for a, and I quote 'desperate need of a New York City shopping spree...' Besides, the sooner you get this done the sooner we can start planning." I added playfully.
"Oh no, you are not turning into bridezilla." He replied semi-seriously making me laugh.
"Don't change the subject...Call Kayla and tell them."
Sighing he reached for his phone and I adjusted my position so that I was sat on his lap. My arm still wrapped around his shoulder as he dialled his sister's number. Taking a deep breath he composed himself and switched it to speaker phone.
"Hello stranger." Kayla's chirpy voice rang through the room.
"Hey Kayla, you're on speaker phone." Shane replied cheerfully. I know that despite all the resentment he may have towards Ian and his mom his sister can always make him smile.
"Hey Mitchie, you do know that I need a shopping buddy for when I come to New York. Oh and is it really okay for me to stay with you guys?"
"Its fine Kayla, just give us a heads up for when you're coming." I replied and motioned for Shane to continue. "Kayla is mom home?"
"Yeah, she's with Ian in the kitchen making lunch."
"Can you get them for me?" He asked.
"Umm sure, but why? I'm pretty sure that you're not on the best of terms with mom right now and I'm seriously not in the mood to witness another confrontation." She replied. Instantly I thought about how hard it must have been for Kayla to witness that. She was only about 6 years old when their dad died so she doesn't have the same memories as Shane does which explains why it's easier for her to accept Denise's marriage to Ian. It's heartbreaking when I think about how little she remembers of him.
My thoughts were interrupted as Shane said "Kayla, I promise you I'm not here to pick a fight. Just please go get them."
"Okay." Sending Shane a reassuring smile I pecked his cheek as we waited. There were some mumbled word and rustling on the other end until Kayla spoke again. "Okay guys we're all here and you're on speaker."
Taking a deep breath Shane began by saying. "I know you weren't expecting me to call any time soon but I-we have some news and we thought you should hear it from us first."
"Okay." Denise said warily.
He paused for a moment so I sent a reassuring nod his way. "Okay, well Mitchie has consented to be my wife...We're getting married." He said smiling in disbelief. Mirroring his smile I placed another peck on his cheek.
Kayla's squeal of delight boomed "Oh em Gee! I can't believe it, well I can believe it cause it's you two but gaaah I'm so happy for you guys!"
"Aww thank you so much Kayla." I replied cheerily.
"This is so exciting. Mitchie we have to find you a dress. We can go looking for one when I come see you guys and then we can-"
"Whoa, Kayla, slow down okay. We just got engaged last night. We have plenty of time to plan things but right now we just wanna enjoy bring engaged." I interrupted hastily.
"Fine then" she replied overdramatically making us laugh.
However, throughout this altercation I noted that neither of Shane's parents had said anything.
"Mom, this is the part where you say something." Shane blurted out after a moment of tense silence fell between us.
"Well, congratulations I guess." She replied unenthused.
"You guess?"
"Don't get me wrong I'm happy for you two but I just wish you would have done it under genuine circumstances." She explained causing both Shane and I's bodies tense. Shane's in obvious anger and mine in hurt at the accusation made.
"Genuine circumstances?" he replied tersely.
"What your mother is trying to say is that while we don't doubt that you guys are ready for this, we just wish that you wouldn't have let the negative publicity influence your decision." Ian explained calmly causing Shane to scoff in disgust.
"Wow, you know the support you're showing is really heart-warming." Shane said sarcastically.
"Sha-"His mother began
"No! I don't know what disgusts me the most. The fact that you actually think we'd let the press influence our decision or the fact that you're practically doubting my feelings for her. I'll have you know that I've been planning this proposal for three whole months. Mitchie's parents have known about this for that time and have been nothing but supportive throughout. Hell, they even helped set up. And in case you've forgotten it was only a 3 weeks ago that the stupid article came out. Oh and if you think for one second I'd let someone else influence my choice to marry the woman I love then clearly you don't know me as well as you think."
"Shane, we know you love Mitchie but in light of recent events I'm sure you can understand our reasons." Denise retaliated calmly.
"Yeah I do, but I thought that you of all people wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Look, I'm not gonna argue today. I just called to tell you the news. Kayla, you're more than welcome to stay with us. Other than that I have nothing more to say so goodbye." Hanging up before anyone had the chance to retaliate he turned to me an offered a small smile.
"That went well." I commented half-heartedly.
"I should've known they'd react this way. God I'm such an idiot for thinking they'd actually be happy for me." He commented solemnly.
"Hey, don't beat yourself up about this. We knew how they'd react but we can't let them ruin our day. If they can't accept our relationship then screw them. We know how we feel and shouldn't let anyone, no matter who they are stand in the way of our happiness."
Shifting me so I was straddling his lap I wrapped my arms around his neck and grazed his lips lightly.
"Hmm don't tease." He breathed.
"I'm doing no such thing." I replied playfully smiling at the success of my distraction.
"Oh really?" He challenged lifting his eyebrows slightly.
Inching my head closer to his so that our lips were inches apart I breathed "Really" and heatedly connected our lips.
The rest of the day passed in a blur. After making out with Shane...a lot we assisted some of the counsellors with packing away some novelties around the camp before sneaking away for one last canoe ride.
As we reached the shore after many failed attempts to row straight, Jason made his way towards us asking for Shane's help to tame the Junior Rockers who were being restless and making it very clear that they didn't want to leave...can't say that I blame them to be honest.
Making my last trip back to camp I noted that many of the camper's families were already starting to pull up at the entrance waiting for the final goodbye so they can head back to reality.
Scanning the crowd of anxious relatives I was surprised to say the least to see a familiar face among them.
"Tess?" I called our astonished.
Her head perked up, scanned the crowd before her eyes landed on me. A radiant smile stretched across her face.
"Mitchie!" she squealed running towards me and immediately pulling me into her embrace, one that I welcomed because believe it or not she's the only one that I've kinda kept in contact with. Out of our group Tess is probably the only one that truly realises the demands of this career path because of her mother and so she's not as quick to jump to conclusions when she doesn't hear from me for months. However, every now and then I make it a priority to meet up with her to catch up, even if it is brief.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"My fourteen year old cousin decided that he wants to be a dancer so I thought what better place to learn then here. Of course when I suggested that my mom and aunt made it my priority to pick him up." She moaned. "But enough about me how are you? I mean how are you dealing with the whole Smitchie had sex thing?"
"I'm coping." I replied briefly. "It's not a rumour though." I blurted out as an afterthought cursing myself slightly.
Smiling sympathetically she said. "I know." My head perked up, sensing my shock and confusion she continued by stating. "Caitlyn called me about two years ago to spill the news."
"Figures," I scoffed.
Quirking her head sideways I answered her unspoken question. "Caitlyn was the one that leaked both stories. It seems like she blames me for circumstances I couldn't control."
"Honestly it doesn't really surprise me...When she called me she also called Ella and Peggy and was basically trash talking you. Of course being Ella she's naive enough to believe anything and Peggy doesn't understand the demands of your lifestyle."
"Of course," I sighed at the fact that my so called friends had problem labelling me as the bad guy.
"Don't worry about them Mitchie. What matters is that you are happy."
"Thanks Tess."
"Don't mention it. But I gotta know one thing...is he good?" She commented and smirked as my face darkened to a new shade of red.
"That good?" She teased and I laughed uncomfortably, desperately searching for a distraction. Running a hand through my hair Tess let out a gasp.
Forcibly yanking my hand from my hair she said "OMG. Is this what I think it is?"
I smiled as she examined my engagement ring. "Yeah, he proposed last night. We wanna let our closest family and friends know before we go public so please keep it a secret."
"Of course." She replied and pulled me into another hug. "I'm so happy for you guys. I knew you'd make it."
"Thanks Tess." I replied sincerely touched by her words.
"I should probably head back. Shane's waiting and we all know how paranoid he gets sometimes." I joked.
Laughing she nodded and promised to meet up again sometime soon before I headed to the main outdoor stage for Brown's final goodbye.
Heading over to Shane at the side of the stage I took one final glance at our surroundings since I have no idea when or if we'll come back here.
Approaching Shane, Jason and much to my surprise Nate I noted that the Junior Rockers remained silent. Whatever the boys did must have worked cause I don't think I've ever seen them so tame.
Slinging an arm around my shoulder Shane pulled me to his side as Brown took to the stage.
"Camper mates and mate-ettes what a summer this has been, I hope you all had an amazing time cause it has been a joy for me to watch each and every single one of you shine." A loud cheer erupted from the crowd. "Alright, alright calm down. Now I just want to give a personal thanks to our counsellors for putting their time and effort into making this the best summer ever. I also want to give a huge thank you to our celebrity guests for taking the time out of their busy schedules to be here. So let's make some noise for Jason Hawkins, Nate Fuller, my pain of a nephew, Shane Gray" Laughter flowed through the crowd. "You know I'm kidding Shane, you're not always a pain ha-ha. And last but not least let's make some noise for the beautiful Mitchie Torres."
"Now remember, enjoy your school year, work hard, keep practicing and we'll see you next summer!" He concluded and headed towards us. "You guys leaving straight away or have you got enough time to spare for your dear uncle?" He asked.
"I don't know. I'm not sure your pain of a nephew can tolerate his pain of an uncle any longer." Shane teased.
"Oh sorry Shane I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to your future wife over here." He threw back making everyone else chuckle as Shane glared playfully at Brown.
"On a serious note though when are you leaving?"
"So eager to get rid of us," Shane remarked. "I don't know about Nate or Jason but we're leaving with Connie."
"Jason and I are being picked up in an hour so we can get to the airport on time." Nate commented.
"Until then you better get yourselves over to the mess hall for a snack." Brown suggested and headed off to the entrance to see off the campers.
Wordlessly we headed to the mess hall passing the hoards of campers ready to leave. Continuing our journey my eyes catch sight of the petit brunette that caused so many problems for us this summer. Her gaze caught mine for a fleeting moment before she scrambled in to the awaiting taxi. What surprised me the most was that for a second I swore I saw a hint of regret in her eyes but I refuse dwell on it? She's made her bed and now she has to lie in it. I can't have people like her in my life anymore no matter how much it hurts.
Entering the mess hall we passed by several of the counsellors that were stocking up some food before their journey home. Many of them congratulated Shane and me on our engagement seeing as they witness our announcement at breakfast this morning. We thanked them, grabbed some food and sat down on the couches next to the unlit fireplace. Most of the counsellors were already heading out so the four of us were left alone.
After a moment Brown came in to join us, only stopping to thank the others on the way. A few moments later my parents followed having finished with packing up the rest of the kitchen supplies.
With small talk here and there we basked in the company of each other. Moments like this were so precious these days so I made the most of this time. It wasn't until a loud cough from Nate that everyone fell silent.
"I know that things have been pretty chaotic this last month or so but I just wanted to say a few words." Fixing his gaze directly on Shane and I he continued. "I know I've made a lot of mistakes these past couple of years and I know that sorry may not be enough but I want both of you to know that the actions I took and the things I've said in the pasts are things I will continue to regret for the rest of my life. But I want you to know that I really am happy for you guys and I know that you will enjoy a lifetime of joy together. Hopefully one day I'll be able to prove that I'm worthy of your forgiveness but until then I plan to do whatever I can to earn your trust back. So finally I just wanna toast to Shane and Mitchie and thank them for helping me realise that true love still exists if you open your heart to it." He concluded and my heart swelled. The fact that Nate has publically apologised for the things he's done is something I admire him for. I truly believe that one day we may just be able to recover what's left of our friendship.
"Thank you Nate, I don't doubt that you'll be able to make things right." Shane replied making me smile.
Looking over to the others I saw that they held the same emotion, well except for Jason who looked as if he were ready to jump out of his seat in glee.
Fifteen minute later we found ourselves parked outside the camps entrance wishing Nate and Jason a fond farewell. Hugs were being given out and with one last group bear hug from Jason they headed off into the distance.
"I'll get our stuff." Shane commented afterwards and left before I could reply.
Sighing I headed over to the lake, the dread of having to leave this haven weighing heavily on my shoulders. I gazed out to the glistening lake, one that holds so many of my fondest memories. It's a bittersweet feeling having to leave here. For one we finally have to face the music about the articles and deal with the consequences that face. But on the other hand Shane and I will take the next step with a whole new dynamic to our relationship as we plan out our happily ever after.
As I revel in these precious memories I feel two arms sneak around my waist. "You seem peaceful." My fiancé stated swaying me back and forth in his arms.
"I am. I can't believe we have to leave here though." I replied.
"I know, but I promise you that we'll come back and not in another three years time. I'll make sure of it...come on; time to go home."
Twisting in his arms I came face to face with the man that made all of this possible. The man that stood by my side and watched my dreams come to life. The man that has gone through every high and low with me. The man I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with.
"I am home. My home is where my heart is and my heart is with you." Brushing my lips ever so softly against his I took comfort in the fact that no matter where life takes us I'll always have him by my side.
Heading towards the van I let go of Shane's hand and ran into the welcoming arms of Brown. "Thank you for everything Uncle Brown." I whispered.
"Always a pleasure love. Don't be a stranger or your dear old uncle will have to drag you back here." He replied semi seriously.
"Believe me nothing in this world is gonna stop me from coming back here."
"Good to hear. Stay safe and keep an eye out for that fiancé of yours. We wouldn't want the press to have another story on their hands now would we?" He teased releasing me from his embrace only to take Shane into his arms. They exchanged a few pleasantries and with one last goodbye we found ourselves sat in the backseats of the van watching the sight of the place that changed my life vanish in the background, my haven...Camp Rock.
So guys I'm sad to say that the next chapter will be the epilogue. I know I said there would be another two chapters after this but I didn't think they'd flow with the story.
BUT, NEVER FEAR I HAVE AN IDEA!
How would you like it if I posted a couple of one shots detailing some key events following Reconnected? e.g. Nate & Shane first meeting, Smitchie's first public interview after the "scandals" etc.
I will gladly take any suggestions on what you guys would like to read but I must warn you that since I'm starting university in 23 days time updates may be slow. (THE EPILOGUE WILL BE UP BEFORE THEN THOUGH)
I also have another plan to write a short Camp Rock story taking place in between CR1 & 2. It will be about 7/8 chapters long but it will be posted after the Reconnected one shots. and it will be a Smitchie story (obviously)
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter and please REVIEW and let me know what your favourite part was.
FINALLY I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS TAKEN AN INTEREST IN THIS STORY. YOU GUYS REALLY DO MAKE MY DAY WITH THE REVIEWS, FAVOURITES AND ALERT'S ETC.
PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHT ON THIS CHAPTER AND FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST SOME IDEAS FOR THE ONE SHOTS. TO DO THAT YOU NEED TO REVIEW.
BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE EPILOGUE BUT UNTIL THEN GOODBYE!
P.S. sorry for any mistakes in this. :) xx
