I would have updated a little sooner but I had a bit of writers block. I know what's going to happen, but actually writing it is easier said than done. I'm sorry for the wait, but school is ending and I have a bunch of finals coming up :P But I plan on finishing before school ends.

2 more chapters after this...

Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock, which would be awesome because I would have Joe Jonas. *sigh*

The next day at school, Caitlyn was surprised to see Mitchie stalking through the front door, her face blank. Caitlyn stopped talking to Nate and Sierra and followed after her. Shane was off with Tess somewhere, much to the group's displeasure.

"Mitchie!" Caitlyn called out as Mitchie practically ran into the library. Caitlyn ran in after her and followed her to the back. She found Mitchie leaning on a bookcase, tears streaming down her face. "Mitchie, please, just talk to me."

Mitchie looked up at her. "I can't do this," she whispered.

"Do what?"

"Come here and see Shane go off with her. I don't think I can stand it." Mitchie wiped the tears off her face and rested her head on her knees.

Caitlyn knelt down next to her. "You don't have to be strong all the time. It's okay to have feelings." When she didn't respond, Caitlyn rubbed Mitchie's arm. "Listen, if you want Shane to think about you, to want you back, I have a plan..." This made Mitchie look up at her in curiosity. Caitlyn smiled. "If you act like you're okay, having fun even, Shane will feel bad and want you back."

"How do you know that?" Mitchie asked. "Besides, there's no way in the world I can act like I'm having fun anymore."

"I don't know, it's just the way boys work. Come on Mitchie," Caitlyn said hopefully. Mitchie looked uncertain for a second but finally agreed. "Great!" Caitlyn squealed, causing the librarian to shush them. She giggled then turned back to Mitchie. "First, we have to get those tears off your face. Come on," she said, offering Mitchie her hand. Mitchie gave her a half-hearted smile and took it, allowing her to lead her to the bathroom.

Caitlyn washed the tears off her face and tried to make her bloodshot eyes less noticeable. She combed Mitchie's unruly hair, since Mitchie didn't feel the need to do it that morning.

"There we go…" Caitlyn said, standing back to look at Mitchie. She still looked sad and her eyes were still red, but her face had more of a glowing look and her hair was shiny. "Well… that's as good as we're going to get."

Mitchie frowned at her words and looked into the mirror. She sighed at the sight her eyes. "I won't cry anymore, it'll go away soon." Caitlyn nodded.

"So… what happened yesterday?" she asked.

Mitchie looked down. "I went home and then Shane showed up. He said he's sorry but he can't abandon Tess. He wanted to be friends with me…" Of course, Mitchie left out the cutting part, and the part about talking to her dad.

"And then…?" Caitlyn coaxed her on.

"I told him to get out of my house," Mitchie sighed.

"It'll be okay, Mitchie, you'll see," Caitlyn tried to comfort her.

Unfortunately, it brought up memories of someone else telling her things would be okay.

For the rest of the week, Caitlyn never left Mitchie's side. Sierra was occasionally there, but she also had to keep Nate company, for it seemed that Shane disappeared off the face of the earth by the way he followed Tess around everywhere like a puppy. That caused a strain on Caitlyn and Sierra's friendship because Caitlyn didn't like her hanging out with Nate all the time. Though they weren't really 'dating', they both knew they liked each other.

With the group of friends falling apart, and all of it seemingly Mitchie's fault, her cutting became worse and worse. When her arms became covered in wounds, she started cutting her stomach and legs. No one noticed because they were all occupied in their own troubles, least of all Shane.

Mitchie's world was spinning out of control. She lived each day one at a time, not wanting to think about the next. The only thing that kept her going was the hope that one day she could live with her dad. One day.

As the days went by, the party came closer. Tess' party. Shane's baby mama's party.

Oh what fun.

On the day of the party, Mitchie woke up with a sick feeling in her stomach. Caitlyn had told her that in order to complete her 'I'm doing fine' act, she had to go to the party. Mitchie got dressed and went to brush her hair. As she was brushing, the razor on the counter caught her eye. She promised herself she wouldn't cut today, knowing that she was going to be at a party. And besides, since she'd been in major cutting mode recently, she wanted to show that she had some control. That she wasn't completely crazy.

Mitchie stared at it for a few minutes before picking it up. "Just a little one," she murmured, turning it around in her fingers before lifting her shirt a bit and making a small cut below her belly button. Of course, that reminded her of Tess and the baby, so she made a deeper one. She gasped and dropped the razor, tears coming to her eyes.

"I am weak…" she cried out softly. When she gathered her strength again, she realized she was going to be late so she quickly ran to school.

"Hey Mitch, what's wrong?" Caitlyn greeted her at the door.

Mitchie just shook her head. "Just nervous for tonight…" she muttered.

"Speaking of, look who's coming," Caitlyn whispered to her. Mitchie turned around and saw Shane walking towards them with Tess hanging off of his arm.

Shane looked up at them as he passed by. "Hey Cait, hey Mitch," he said with a small smile.

Caitlyn scowled at him while Mitchie tried to hide behind Caitlyn. Shane kept walking but turned back to look at them when he was about 20 feet away. Tess turned too and stuck her tongue out at Mitchie, her face smug.

"I can't believe her," Caitlyn said. "You really need to do something drastic at the party." Mitchie raised her eyebrows up at Caitlyn. "Well, not drastic, but… something that will get to Tess and possibly Shane."

"I could go to the party with Nate," Mitchie suggested. "Shane might get jealous of me being with his brother."

Caitlyn clenched her jaw. "No. Fucking. Way," she growled.

"Okay, Okay," Mitchie held her hands up in defense. "How about… I go with… Andrew, is it?"

A small smile formed on Caitlyn's face. "You mean the guy Tess cheated on Shane with? Yes… yes, that might work. Tess might be mad you're with someone she was with and Shane will be hurt that you're with the guy who broke them up before. Perfect."

Mitchie smiled, but inside, she wasn't so sure. She didn't want to hurt Shane, she just wanted her hurt to go away. "Okay, where can I find him."

Caitlyn shrugged. "I'll ask around and tell you later."

Mitchie nodded and they agreed they'd meet at lunch and go over the plan.

Caitlyn had told her Andrew Denzien had lunch with them and ate at the cool kids table. With one encouraging push, Mitchie was sent across the cafeteria to Andrew's table.

As Mitchie walked up, she saw Shane and Tess sitting at the same table but on the other end. She took a breath and walked up to a blond boy.

"Hey, Andrew?" she said breathlessly, making him look up. Though she had never seen him before, Mitchie couldn't help but feel like she recognized him. He had spikey blond hair and brown eyes, looking more like Tess' brother than her assistant cheater.

"Yeah, 'sup… Mitchie, right?" he smiled.

Mitchie smiled back, seeing Shane look at them from the of her eye. Knowing he was watching, she put on an act. "Yes, so I was wondering if you're going to the party tonight," she giggled. The only time Mitchie giggled was with Shane, which made Shane instantly jealous. Who was this guy making the girl he loved giggled. One look at his face made Shane pale. It was him.

"I wasn't planning to, but…" Andrew trailed off suggestively.

Mitchie smirked. "Then it's a date," she said, then surprised everyone by kissing him on the cheek. She then turned to Shane. "Oh hey Shane, I didn't see you there," she said with a smile. Mitchie then headed back to where Caitlyn was sitting in awe.

"Mitchie, I think it's safe to say you're breaking Shane's heart now," Caitlyn said smiling.

Mitchie looked back at the table she had just left. Shane was still sitting with Tess but his hands were clenched along with his jaw. Tess also seemed a bit tense. She grinned.

"Just… make sure you don't go too far with this. You know what they say, an eye for an eye-"

"Makes the whole world blind, I know, I know," Mitchie sighed. "Can't I have some fun? I mean, I deserve to move on too, right? And if that means hurting Shane on the way, too bad."

Caitlyn raised her eyebrow at her. "This isn't the Mitchie I know."

"You're right," Mitchie said lowly. "I've changed."

The ending was totally different than I planned, but it works out better this way. :) Please review, you have no idea how much I hate this story but I keep writing for you lol.

Who saw Demi on Grey's Anatomy? Wasn't she amazing! Too bad she didn't have more scenes.
