a/n: Hey everyone! So did anyone else join in on the Jonasmemories thing on Twitter Tuesday? Haha, I did, that was so much fun! And also, who is stoked about Camp Rock 2? The preview just made me even more impatient, haha. Enjoy! (Song used in this chapter is Catch Me by Demi Lovato)

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: PREPARATIONS

"And this is the stage." The chubby tour director led me onto a huge square platform.

I nodded and stifled a yawn. For the past five hours, I had been planning what I was going to do for the sports activities while the director explained what was basically going to happen for the tour. "This thing is huge."

He smiled. "Yep. Takes and hour and a half to set up. So, I heard from Sha-someone that you like to sing. Is that correct?"

I shrugged. He thought I didn't notice how he almost said Shane. Ha, yeah right. "I do write some songs. Why?"

"Well, somewhere along the show, Shane is going to have a small break and we thought that maybe you could sing a few songs for the crowd?"

"Haha, no, I can do sports in front of people, but no way am I going to sing in front of thousands of screaming fans." Was this guy for real?

He looked around anxiously and sighed. "Miss Torres, it would really be nice if you could try. We already have tight funds, we can't really afford to hire another entertainer."

"Alright. But if I don't like it, I won't continue to do it."

"Thank you so much, Miss-"

"Mitchie. Just call me Mitchie."

"Thank you, Mitchie. I really appreciate it. Do you want to give me something to hear?"

I looked around and spotted a guitar. "Um, sure. Just go up to the mike and sing?"

"Yup."

I grabbed the guitar and nervously walked to the center of the stage. "Okay, here we go."

"Before I fall too fast

Kiss me quick, but make it last

So I can see how badly this will hurt me

When you say goodbye

Keep it sweet, keep it slow

Let the future pass, and don't let go

But tonight I could fall too soon

Into this beautiful moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing

You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling, but please don't catch me

See this heart won't settle down

Like a child running scared from a clown

I'm terrified of what you do

My stomach screams just when I look at you

Run far away so I can breathe

Even though you're far from suffocating me

I can't set my hopes too high

'Cause every hello ends with a goodbye

But you're so hypnotizing

You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling, but please don't catch me

So now you see why I'm scared

I can't open up my heart without a care

But here I go, it's what I feel

And for the first time in my life I know it's for real

But you're so hypnotizing

You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep

And I can see this unraveling

Your love is where I'm falling so please don't catch meIf this is love, please don't break me

I'm giving up so just catch me…"

A group of people had come over to watch me and as soon as I finished, they all burst into cheers. I smiled shyly and walked off the stage, handing a stage hand the guitar.

Roger, the director, came over smiling like an idiot. "Mitchie, no doubt the crowd will love you. Now I need you to prepare two songs and send me what you have so I can give it to the band to rehearse. On Monday, we will go through everything to make sure it's perfect. Alright?"

I smiled. "Sounds good. Thanks, Roger, have a nice day!"

"Good luck at your game tomorrow!"

I thanked him and walked towards the exit door. Once I got into my car, I dialed Caitlyn.

"Hello?"

"Hey Caity!"

"Hi Mitch," she growled.

"Whoa, why do you sound so happy?"

"Because your mother just called and told me that you and Shane are going to be going to the wedding together."

I burst out laughing. "What? Ca-Caitlyn, that…is…the most hilarious thing I've heard all day! And believe me, I am hearing some strange things."

"So it's not true?"

"Nope. Especially after the argument we got into after the interview."

"Well then why did your mom tell me that?"

"I think it's something about getting me and Shane to walk down the aisle together…"

"Psh, I had that planned already!"

"Pardon?"

"Nothing! So, what are you up to today?"

I pulled out of my parking spot and waited for the parking valet to validate my ticket. "Well, ever since ten this morning, I've been at the arena working out stuff with the tour director." I thanked the valet and got onto the highway. "And guess what? He totally hooked me up. Mr. Superstar apparently needs a six minute break during the show, so I get to go out and sing." I rolled my eyes.

"Are you serious? Mitch, that's awesome!" She squealed and I quickly pulled the phone away from my ear.

"Ha, yeah. I already know what songs I'm gonna sing. Maybe they'll teach him to pay attention."

"How do you know he'll hear them?"

"He'll be in his dressing room. And in each dressing room, there is a TV with live coverage of what is going on onstage. Oh, and did I forget to mention that he's the one who suggested that I sing?"

"Are you kidding me? Shane suggested it?"

"Yes he did. If his goal is to make me hate him more than I did after that confrontation in the school hallway, it's working." The phone beeped and I looked at the screen. Nate was calling. Weird. "Hey, Caity, I gotta go."

"Alright. See you tomorrow."

"Kay. Bye! Hey Nate, wassup?"

"Hey, Mitchie. You know you owe me for taking care of Caitlyn the other day."

"Are you trying to sound stupid? Nate, you are going to live with her for the rest of your life, yet you complain about having to go out with her?"

"I know that, it's just I was doing something that day."

"What the hell ever, Nate. So was that the only reason you called me, or did you need something else?" I parked my car and entered my apartment, heading over to my laptop.

"I was wondering if you got into another fight with Shane."

"And that is your business how?"

"You did, didn't you?"

"Fine, I did! He just annoys me so much! I'm trying to not spend time with him so I won't fall for him again and he just keeps appearing out of nowhere! It's like he's a…fly!"

"You are falling for him, aren't you?"

"Can't fool you, Nate. Yes I've fallen for him again, but I don't want him to fall for me again. I've hurt him so much already, I don't want to hurt him again." I logged onto my Aol account and started browsing the latest news. An article caused my eyes to bug out and my mouth dropped open. "Hey, Nate, I'll call you later."

"Um, okay." He hung up.

I clicked the article, holding in my breath.

Is Shane Gray On Tour With His Ex?

By: Natalie Ashton

Shane Gray, pop sensation, and Mitchie Torres, athlete, are set to start the Children's Benefit Tour, but could these two have a past? After watching two important interviews, I've come up with some clues to answer that question.

1. On her first interview show, Mitchie Torres revealed that she had been in a relationship with a guy named 'Shay', who was three years older than her. She also revealed that they had broken up because of 'family problems'.

2. During an interview with Mitchie, Shane Gray revealed that his parents had split after his mother had caused a girlfriend he had cared about to dump him.

So why are these clues important? First off, Shay could be used as a nickname for Shane. (And Shane had noticeably stiffened when the name Shay had been brought up.)Secondly, Shane is exactly three years older than Mitchie. Lastly, when Shane had explained why his parents had split, Mitchie had uttered an apology to him.

So, do you think we have a pair of reunited exes on our hands?

I took a deep breath. Why did we have to be so obvious? I took a look at the comments.

Arica479: What she is saying makes sense, and she also forgot that Shane's dad coached volleyball and that Mitchie's ex's dad was her volleyball coach in high school.

SGisMine: Oh please, even if they did go out before, why on earth would he go out with her now?

Bethy: Arica479 Oh, yeah, she totally forgot about that. I definitely think they had something going on. Maybe they still do…?

SUP123: why should we care? If they went out, good for them. They were randomly put together for this tour thing, it's not like they WANTED to do it.

Smitchiefan: Are you kidding? They went out? Dang, that means their possibilities of getting back together are low…who else thinks that they are really cute together? I mean, it's obvious Shane still likes her, have you guys noticed how he kept glancing at her during the interview? I can't wait to see them in concert!

Warden108: I just wasted five minutes of my life reading this. If they had a thing, whoop dee do, if they get back together, why should we care?

I grunted and closed the laptop. Great, now my other secret was out. But it wasn't only my secret, it was Shane's too. Why oh why was my life so complicated?

Grabbing my guitar, I started singing a new song and I instantly wrote the lyrics down. Not bad. I smiled and sighed. Sometimes I wished I hadn't left Shane and we'd probably be married by now and I would be cooking dinner waiting for him to come home and…oh dear God, what am I thinking?

One minute I was telling everyone I don't want to be with him, then the next minute I was fantasizing about us being married.

I'm a lunatic. I admit it. Shane has the power to make me crazy and he used it and here ya go: Crazy Mitchie.

I'll probably be in an institute after this tour. Because I'm scared to admit that I feel like going goth right now. Oh no, wait, I had already gone through that phase in high school. I had grown out of it and I wasn't going to grow back in.

Shane Gray can take his power and walk, because from this moment forward, Mitchie Torres isn't going to take any nonsense.

Got it?

a/n: I really should change the title of this story to 'The Ramblings Of Mitchie Torres', shouldn't I? Nah. So Mitchie seems confused, the fans and press are figuring out Shane and Mitchie had something going on, and Nate might be coming up with a plan…hmmm…And the fly comment should give you guys a hint as to what Mitchie will be singing as one of her songs. If you can tell me the name of the song, I'll give you a shout out in the next chapter! And this chapter is my New Years gift to you guys, so a little review might be nice…
