Chapter 20: Final Jam Day Part 2
"Campers! Counselors! Guests! Parents! Everyone in the crowd! Are you pumped up?!" Brown called through out the theater. "I won't make this long so here's the first performers of the night, Ella and Barron with the Hip Hop Gang!"
The dancers including Ella and Barron entered the stage looking happy and up for some performance started to dance to the tune being played. They were singing to the tune of A Night To Remember (more pumped up than in the ball)
Jason waved at Ella and Ella waved back at him who was sitting on front row with Nate and Shane.
Who's that girl? (She's so fine)
Who's that guy? (I don't recognize)
Who's that girl? (She looks so good, yeah)
You'll never really notice, but you probably should
Big fun, on the night of nights (alright)
The night of nights, tonight
Let's dance
On the night of nights
You know were gonna do it right
Its gonna be a night to remember
Its gonna be the night to last forever
Its gonna be a night to remember
Its gonna be the night to last forever
(Last Forever)
Its gonna be our night (you know it)
To remember (all time)
Come on now, big fun (big fun)
Its gonna be the night (love it)
To last forever (the rest of our lives)
Well never ever ever forget
Its gonna be our night (oh yeah)
All together (say it loud)
Come on now, everyone (that's right)
Its gonna be a night (yeah tonight)
To remember (hear the crowd)
And never ever ever never ever ever never ever never ever ever forget!
The crowd roared for the performance. Jason stood up to clap for his Ella. The gang on stage bowed and went to the backstage to cue the next performance.
Brown then went out and announced the next performers. "Okay. I know you were all psyched with them. Sit down Jason." He hissed. "So here's to pump the party more, let's welcome our defending winner, Peggy with her crew, Justin, Phoebe, Aaron and Cole!" the crowd roared again.
Peggy, Justin and Cole took centerstage. While Phoebe and Aaron were still at the back.
It's the thing that you do
So physical
It's the thing that you say
So flammable
You know I can't resist
Boy it's such a shame
Do you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
but my heart just can't hold back
Then the two joined the three to their chorus.
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
Phoebe stepped into the center with Aaron and they did their duet.
I'm going to make you mine
It's not impossible
Got to let you know
I'm irresistible
Baby can't you see
You're the one for me
But you belong to another
I don't wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can't hold back
The five of them blended to the song. Their voices were in harmony.
It's the way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
(Make me feel , make me feel)
Justin then sang a solo taking Peggy's hand.
When I look into your eyes
Everytime you smile at me
And Peggy returned it with a solo of hers and a smile. Phoebe was getting used to them and it also wasn't bothering her anymore. She has moved on.
Oh I go weak inside
Baby I just can't hide my love
Then the five made their positions and danced to the tune of their song. It was quite slow so their dance wasn't that pumped. And with Phoebe and Justin's dancing prowess they were able to pull it through.
It's the way you make me feel
(The way you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
(Make me feel , make me feel)
(Make me feel , make me feel)
Tell me how can I walk away
I don't care what they say
I'm loving you anyway
It's the way you make me feel
It's the way you make me feel
They ended the song and the crowd stood up to clap for them. They were roaring for more.
At the back stage, Caitlyn and Mitchie were giving the performers hugs of congratulations.
"Pegs! You're great." Mitchie told her.
"Thanks. Be great too Mitch." She told her.
"I will."
Then Mitchie next hugged Phoebe. "Hey that was great!" she told her.
"Thanks! And I tell you, when they sang their duet, I didn't feel a single pang of hurt. I've moved on Mitch!"
"Oh my gosh Phoebs! That's great!"
"Yeah I know. So when you go up there, melt their hearts okay?"
"I will. Thanks." Mitchie finally said. And the five performers went to their dressing room and chatted happily.
"You okay?" Caitlyn asked her.
"Yeah. I will." Mitchie assured her. "Thanks Cait. You are the best bestfriend ever!"
"I know." They laughed and finally hugged.
After Lola, Tess and Jess were up. Before they went on cue, Mitchie gave her friends her good luck and they did the same to her.
--
"Whoo!" Brown called as he took the centerstage again to introduce the next performers. "Okay, okay. Settle down. Now let's welcome, Lola!"
Lola sang one of her compositions with her back up dancers. She was great. The crown totally loved her. Then she ended and Brown was replaced by Dee to introduce the next performers.
"Hey Campers! Guests! I'm Dee and I will introduce the next performers! Well, I kind of know them and I don't want to sound biased but they are good. Give it up for Tess and Jess!" Dee called and the crowd roared again.
Tess and Jess were going to enter at different ends of the stage. And the music started and Tess entered.
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away
Jess entered the stage and joined Tess at the center of the stage.
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
Jess took Tess' hand and looked straight to her eyes. It was as if he was serenading her, even though they were on a duet, and no one was around.
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe
Tess then faced the audience still not breaking her grip on Jess' hands.
In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than I've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now
Then she looked at him again and they sang together.
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly I'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe
Tess sang the last lines and smiled at the man in front of her.
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way...
Jess smiled back and then they both looked at the audience and bowed down returning backstage.
--
Mitchie was the last one to perform. A couple of performances went after Jess and Tess. The crowd was absolutely up and high. They were loving each performances. Well, obviously the performers all gave their best because unlike last year, the prize now is much prestigious, it was a tour with Connect 3! The winner will open all the concerts of C3.
But Mitchie never thought of the coveted prize. She has the vocalist though. But she's going to sing not only for herself but also her future and of course for Shane.
After the last performer before Mitchie, Dee introduced her.
"Mitch, you're up." Caitlyn told her as she handed her the microphone. "Go up there and kick their asses okay?"
Mitchie smiled at her bestfriend and nodded. She took a deep breath. She had already sang a few times onstage but it was always with Shane or with her friends. Now it was all her.
She entered the stage and looked at the audience. The theater was jam-packed. She went to centerstage and took a deep breath again. Then she spoke. Caitlyn already knew her cue so the hall was quite silent.
"Okay. Hey guys." Mitchie started. "Well, I guess you're wondering why I am not yet starting. Well, that is because I asked my bestfriend to not start until I have done what I am going to say. You might not care but I care because this goes to the one person who inspires me and the one person who I continually love. So here goes, Shane, these past days, I know I have been a pain in the ass with all the drama about future and my dream. But baby, I am telling you now that it will never be over, the dreaming that is, but the drama, I promise you it is. So I am singing tonight not to please the judges so I could win but to just tell Shane that I will live my life not with the perfect plan that I would have wanted but to live it day by day, grabbing every opportunity I get and learn from it and most of all holding on to your promise of forever." Mitchie wiped away the tears in her eyes and gave Caitlyn her cue.
The melody of a new and unknown song flowed through the hall. And Mitchie started to sing…
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side
Mitchie was crying as she remembers all the pain and heartache that she and Shane went through that year.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
Mitchie made the song to tell Shane that she's incomplete if he's gone. When they separated she was lost, her dreams crumbled.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
She would never love anyone aside from him. From the day she said yes to him and to the day she broke things up and to the day she returned back to his life and until now, she will always love everything about him.
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
She might have another dream than to be Shane's wife but she knew that this all just resulted because of his love.
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now
She may have learned to separate love with her music but she can never deny that love is the one that generates her music.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
She let her tears flow as she sang her last bridge and looked at the man whom she dedicates the song, who was sitting at the front row, looking at her lovingly.
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah
And as Mitchie ends she wiped away her tears that were seemingly unending. The song may be too out of place for 'I miss you', it was still appropriate because it felt like for the past months, she had never been herself until now, so she missed Shane.
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
When the song ended, she went down the stage instead of going to the back. She went down and went to Shane who gladly accepted her in his warm hug. The crowd cheered and clapped for Mitchie.
When she was already in Shane's caress, he made her seat on his lap and she wrap her self around his torso as they watched the special performance by Dee. Mitchie was still sobbing on Shane's chest.
"Hey, why are you still crying?" Shane asked her quietly.
"Nothing. Just tears of joy. Hey, don't ever leave me again." Mitchie asked him looking in his eyes.
"You were the one who left. But I promise you I would never let you leave me again." Shane told her. Then he wiped away her tears as he made her sit comfortably on his lap and wrap himself around her. They enjoyed the rest of the show and by the end of the performances, the winner was announced.
Brown was announcing, "And the winner is… Tess Tyler and Jess Scott!" The crowd cheered and so did their friends. Tess and Jess accepted their trophy.
Then after the announcement was the final jam- jam session!

Camp Rock!!
It was a very big and happy riot of a performance. They were all professional and they all synced despite them not practicing the song. Indeed, Camp Rock is one heck of a CAMP.
It makes you learn, dream, live and LOVE…
And this is the camp were everything happened for Mitchie. This was where she learned to dream, to live and to LOVE.
