My Past and My Future Collide

Chapter 29: Final Jam

Mitchie woke up the next morning looking at the clock realizing she actually slept longer then she has in so many weeks. She smiled feeling really well rested. She had a positive attitude and was going to be care-free until tonight. She was happy with her decision, and was going to be happy and have fun with her friends.

She sighed finally taking in the time realizing it was 7:25 and breakfast was starting soon. She sighed realizing her friends let her sleep. She was thankful for that Caitlyn knew she needed some sleep. She smiled at the thought grabbing her two towels, a face cloth and walking into the bathroom for her shower.

She stepped into the warm water letting it cascade down her body. She washed her hair and her body. She finally feels cleaner from her night in bed then turns off the water. She steps out of the shower wrapping her towel tight around her body and the smaller towel around her now damp hair.

She looked into the mirror after it cleared and she smiled. She was happy about her reflection. Her face looked freshly rested which it definitely was. She smiled noticing once where there was dark circled returned to her normal skin tone and she was happy. She had finally had enough sleep to satisfy her body and she was definitely ready for the day ahead of her.

She smiled washing her face then walking out into the main part of cabin picking out her clothes for the day. She decided on a pair of black short with a white tank top with black polka dots. She smiled pulling her hair back with a red hair band as she added a red belt around her hips. She finished putting on a light layer of make-up, putting on a pair of sandals then walking to the mess-hall it now being 7:45.

Shane woke up as the sun was now casting onto his face. He rubbed his eyes sitting up in bed. Today was final jam and he was excited about it, well he had mixed emotions but let the excitement over power the other not so wanted emotions. He looks at the clock seeing it is 7:15 so he decided he would get up and go to breakfast today. Final jam meals were always amazing. It was food, he was a boy, and I guess you get the picture.

He walked into the bathroom showering then wrapping his towel around his hips and deciding on what clothed he would wear today. He decided on a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. He looked at his face smiling which he hadn't done for a while and ran his hand threw his hair letting it go curly, he would straighten it later. He slipped on a pair of shoes then walked out of his cabin towards the mess hall.

He entered the mess hall around 7:30 to see everyone else anxious getting food. He decided to wait for a few minutes so he was making his way to a table when Caitlyn called his name.

"Shane, come sit here" She said motioning to the table he wished he sat at the last week

"Alright" He said walking over and sitting beside Nate

"Hey Shane" Lola said

"Hi" He said smiling "It's so busy I'm waiting"

"Yeah it is" Peggy said laughing

"How are you man?" Baron asked

"It's been a while" Sander added

"I'm good you guys?" he asks

"Good" Baron replied

"Awesome" Sander replied smiling

"So you ready for final jam" Shane asked and everyone nodded and Nate nudged Shane a little and Shane gave a slight nod smiling wondering to himself where Mitchie was.

Soon the line had died down so Shane, Nate and Caitlyn went up to the line to get some breakfast. They all got a full plate of food and some juice rejoining the table as Mitchie walked in getting food before going to sit down not knowing someone was joining the table this morning.

Mitchie finally got a plate and started putting some breakfast onto her plate. She was definitely smiling today. She finished getting her choices for breakfast then grabbed a glad of orange juice and started making her way to the table. She was halfway to the table when she saw Shane sitting with them. She sighed slightly. He was friends with hers so she would have to deal. It was the last day so she guessed she could let it go.

She walked over to the table putting down her plate and sitting down the only sit left, across from Shane. She looked up smiling.

"Hey everyone" She said smiling

"Did you have a good sleep" Caitlyn asked

"Yeah, thanks for not waking me, I feel amazing" She said smiling noticing Shane had a slight smile to.

"Yeah you look great too" Peggy said smiling

Everyone knew everything that has happened had a toll on Shane and Mitchie so it was great to see both of them smiling. They were at least not fighting or about sitting at the table. Secretly they both wanted to be sitting their but they didn't know how the other felt so they didn't voice it.

"So is everyone ready for tonight" She asked

"We are" Baron said smiling

"I can't wait to see what the crew comes up with this year" She says smiling

"Well we almost ready to" Caitlyn said smiling

"I can't wait" Nate said hugging her and giving her a kiss on the cheek

"Should be awesome" Shane said "I'm glad to be judging again" He said voicing his opinion

"I hope I can get it right" Mitchie said stressing to Caitlyn

"Mitchie you have been singing non-stop its good" She said reassuring "Breathe"

"Alright" Mitchie says laughing

"As long as I get to sing I'm happy" Peggy said "And not back-up" She said smiling and everyone laughed remembering last year

Soon breakfast was ending so they all decided to go their separate way. Peggy was heading towards a cabin to do some last minute rehearsals. Baron, Sander and Lola were meeting the others to rehearse as well. Caitlyn and Mitchie decided to go back to their cabin to finish up and just relax since they had been working so hard. Shane went to his cabin alone as he was going to go over his song making sure he had it right then probably rest and getting ready for his emotional rollercoaster he was adventuring tonight. Nate decided to just go chill out for a while. He was going to ask Jason if he wanted to go swimming. It was suppose to be a hot day so he figures that might work and relax them for judging tonight.

Caitlyn and Mitchie walked to their cabin as the sun starting beating down onto the camp grounds. It was definitely going to be a hot day. At least the mess hall, classrooms, and most importantly the theater had air conditioning. They walked into their cabin turning on the fan then both sitting on their beds. Mitchie was waiting as Caitlyn got her laptop ready.

"I'm so glad this is almost over" Mitchie said

"Why, we all have to leave" Caitlyn said

"Not camp, the song" Mitchie laughed

"I've been hearing it and singing it over and over it will be done tonight" She said smiling

"Well we have got it ready we only really have to run-it once if you want" Caitlyn said smiling

"Alright, then we can do something for the day, and maybe run-it right before dinner then get ready for final jam after and then just get it done" Mitchie said smiling

"Alright here" she said hanging Mitchie the microphone she had for her comp they had been practicing on "Let's hear it" Caitlyn said starting the mix as they started to practice.

Shane gets to his cabin opening his back door and the windows letting the cool lake hair flow into his cabin as it was now hot outside, actually feeling like summer. He smiled about breakfast at least him and Mitchie didn't fight or be upset about being near each other they were both smiling and he liked that. He had missed her smile and now that it was back it made him happy at least he was not causing her pain but would he be able to say that later tonight, probably not.

Shane grabbed is notebook for the thousandth time this week to read the words one more time. He was scanning over his lyrics with a pencil to make them perfect, they had to perfect. It was his music career and two show his emotions to Mitchie. He sighs not changing anything and putting his book down. He could not work on it anymore it had consumed his mind in the whole week it was permanently mended into his mind. He sighs and then flops onto his bed as the cool year drifted into the sunlit cabin. He is drifting off to sleep when there is a knock on his cabin.

"Come in" He calls

"Hey man" Nate says walking in with Jason following him

"Hey Shane want to come swimming" Jason asked happily sporting swim trunks and a towel around his neck

"Sure" Shane said sitting up "Why not" He says grabbing swim shorts "One minute"

Shane walks into the bathroom taking off his clothes putting on a pair of blue swim shorts which hang amazingly off his hips defining his hip bones positively. He slipped on a white wife beater for the time being then walked out of the bathroom holding a towel.

"Let's go" He said slipping on a pair of flip-flops then walking out of the back door down the creaky steps and down the path and onto the sand. He takes off his sandals feeling the burning sand scorch his feet. It was definitely a hot day and a swim would work, also take his mind off of tonight for the time being anyway.

Mitchie and Caitlyn finish rehearsing once and Mitchie falls onto her bed. She had sand that song so much one more time before the night and she would probably not want to sing it.

"Not until tonight" She said sighing

"It's so hot out and that song is amazing, let's just relax today" Caitlyn said

"No let's not" Mitchie said smiling

"I'm not working more" Caitlyn stated

"We can relax but not in here, in the water let's go swimming" Mitchie said smiling

"Oh My God Lets" Caitlyn said happy jumping off the bed

"Couldn't agree more" Mitchie said laughing picking out her swim suit as well

Caitlyn chose her red bikini that had thin straps. It tied around her neck and her back covering her chest in a flattering fashion. The bottoms tied at the side and then she slipped on a pair of black athletic shorts letting her legs have a little more coverage. Mitchie was surprised that Caitlyn was leaving her stomach revealed but she seemed more comfortable with her body, maybe Nate helped with that.

Mitchie had chosen an electric blue bikini and it also happened to be Shane's favorite color. She had actually purchased it thinking he would've been here for the beach party but he wasn't. For some crazy reason she wanted to wear it today. It looked stunning on her though. It was a halter top tying around her waist and neck. Then the bottoms tied up at the sides like Caitlyn's. Instead of shorts she ties a midnight black wrap around her hips, this one ending at her thighs. The certain color of black against the blue made it even more electrifying. She smiled her belly button piercing revealed. She had changed it and it was now a silver star with a blue shimmer to it. She smiled walking back into the cabin as she tied her long hair up in a pony tail.

Caitlyn and she slipped their sunglasses onto their faces shading their eyes, slipped on flip-flops, grabbing towels then walking proudly out of their cabin down the stairs and down the path towards the water. They were definitely happy to be able to relax and go swimming before final jam well the other kids were buzzing around finishing everything.

They got to the beach hearing splashing seeing other people had the same idea. Caitlyn soon smiled noticing it was Nate and looked at Mitchie who nodded and laughed as Caitlyn threw of her sunglasses, discarded her flips flops and shorts, dropping her towel on the sand then running into the lake and directly into the arms of Nate who laughed giving her a soft kiss on the lips. Mitchie thought it was so cute.

Shane was staring at Mitchie. She was the most gorgeous thing he had set eyes on, better then Jenny hell she was like the goddess of beauty and the blue, his favorite color, definitely helped define her body. His breath was taking away as the wrap fell off her body and her belly button piercing shone off the sunlight. He was surprised she had a belly button piercing but honestly it suited her. He smiled realizing he would soon be in the same water as the goddess. She took off her sunglasses kind of awkward noticing he was looking at her and he turned away fast acting to swim again. She felt heat rush to her cheek but pushed it aside laying her towel onto the sand and discarding her flips flops walking to the water and wading in.

Shane was almost in heaven. He was in love with the most amazingly talented, gorgeous girl in the world. Look weren't everything he knew that, but god with her even they were a bonus. He smiled as her hips swayed as she walked into the water and he would've fell over if he was on the ground. He deiced he had to keep his posture as he shouldn't be looking at her like that but god was it hard. He takes a deep breath and goes on enjoying the cool water.

Shane made his way towards the beach finally getting there and taking a sip of water from his water bottle the sun already making him hot as the beads of water shone of his toned body. It was now Mitchie's turn to stare. She didn't care she couldn't avert her eyes of the body of a god, or the boy she loved. He started wading back into the water as she was farther out now. His abs were toned and defined to a T. His hip bones were defined and toned his shorts resting right below them. She was taking away. He had a smile on his face which was sexy and his hair in a disheveled flat look to it. He was definitely sexier then she remembered. He looked her way as she averted her eyes but he didn't miss the blush slowly filling into her cheeks.

He was flattered especially someone as gorgeous as her look at him that way. He knew that even though they couldn't be friends, forgive each other or even be together but they could still be attracted to each other right? That wasn't weird was it? Yes of course it was but he couldn't stop admiring her.

She forced her eyes to look away she felt her heat rising. She giggled to herself realizing she was looking at him like he was looking at her. They were obviously attracted to each other but she couldn't help it he had a toned body of a god. Well in her eyes, and he was so sexy disheveled and not all sorted out. She was stunned he was looking at her that way. She definitely knew not being friends or together was going to be hard but after seeing him like that just made this situation a little more difficult, curse his good looks and his god like features.

"It's like a beach party" Jason shouted swimming around everyone as they all laughed

"Party it up" Mitchie called laughing like music to Shane's ears

"To camp rock" Caitlyn shouted hugging Nate

"CAMP ROCK" They all shouted laughing having a great time in the cool water. It was a good end to the summer even though the end wasn't yet there was still a rollercoaster evening to contend with.

Finally after 2 hours of swimming they decided they should all get out and get ready for the rest of the day. They all knew it would be fun and emotional. They all get out wrapping a towel around each of their bodies. Nate and Caitlyn shared another kiss as they grabbed their belonging and all started up towards their cabins. Shane and Jason broke off the path heading towards their cabins and Mitchie kept heading towards hers as Caitlyn and Nate stood on the path knowing their friends would let them be alone for a minute.

"That was really fun babe" Caitlyn said hugging Nate

"It was amazingly perfect" He said smiling giving her a soft kiss which she returned

"Yeah, well I should go see you tonight?" She asked

"Yeah, at dinner and good luck tonight I will see you right after final jam" He said kissing her once more

"Okay see you later Nate" She said kissing him then giggling as she walked away as he watched smiling

"Bye Caitlyn" he called then headed towards his own cabin smiling. He was so aloud to be selfish and was happy to have an amazing girl such as Caitlyn

Later on Caitlyn and Mitchie were showered and dressed in casual sweats as they made their way towards the mess hall with the other girls to meet up with the guys, including Shane, for Final Jam dinner and everyone was excited and nervous. Mitchie had knots all over her stomach but hopefully it would all be worth it.

They walked into the mess hall the food overwhelming their senses as they lined up to see almost every camper lined up as well. The selection was crazy. There were fajitas and tacos with all the topping imaginable. There were hamburgers and hot dogs, grilled cheeses, even French fries and onion rings. It was a summer feast. There was a selection of drinks form pop-lemonade-iced tea-water it was crazy. After almost everyone had their food the mess hall was almost silent. Everyone was eating an amazing meal the kitchen definitely busted their buts for this meal and it was hit.

Mitchie, Caitlyn, Lola, Peggy, Baron, Sander, Nate, Shane and even Jason squeezed into fill that table. They all ate and smiled happy with each other. They had all said they would move in with Mitchie for food which she just laughed and smiled

"This is crazy" Caitlyn stated

"No dinner as been this quiet since we've been here" Shane said

"Definitely" Nate agreed

"So worth the silence" Baron said his mouth full as Lola nudged him and everyone laughed.

After dinner everyone filed out of the mess-hall as the crew quickly started cleaning extra fast to make it to final jam in time for the performances as all the campers got ready for the night. Two campers ready for the moment of truth just they didn't know it yet. They wanted it to be they just didn't know each other was thinking the same.

Mitchie, Caitlyn, Peggy and Lola stepped into their cabin starting to get dressed for Final jam. Lola got dressed in a pair of jeans with a tank top and sneakers on. After all she was being a dancer in the crew of Baron and Sanders so she couldn't get all dolled up but she didn't mind. She put on her bangles and big hooped earrings, some make-up and was ready to go.

Peggy had on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a red shirt the flowed down to just above her thighs which hung around her shoulder. She had her long hair up in a ponytail with some slight make up and jewelry. She twirled around laughing as they girls clapped and was happy with her choices.

Caitlyn was wearing a pair of ripped black jeans with a leopard tank top and a black fishnet sweater over top of it. Her hair was pulled back with a head band. She had some make up on. She had on hooped earrings and thick wrist band on her one ready to let her mix play for Mitchie. She slipped on her sneakers and was ready to go.

Mitchie stepped out of the bathroom and all the girls smiled. She had curled her hair and put it up in a ponytail unnoticeable as the curls cascading down. She was wearing a light yellow t-shirt. She then head one a black dress with red polka dots with went down to her hips the flowed out a little to her knees. She smiled making a fierce pose as they girls laughed as she did. She was wearing slight but noticeable make up. She didn't have earrings on but she had a thick noticeable ring on her right hand as well as a silver bracelet. She thought she looked good and she was happy. She slipped on a pair of red flats as they girls started making their way to the camp rock theater.

The boys were currently getting ready as well. Jason got dressed in nice black pants as well as nice shoes. His hair was straightened as usual as he was in red shirt with a scarf on very stylish for Jason. He smiled walking out of his cabin meeting Shane and Nate.

Nate got dressed in a nice pair of black jeans with classic black sneakers. He wasn't as fancy as Jason but looked alright. He then had on a white wife beater and then a nice bleu button up shirt. He smiled his hair curled as he stepped out of the cabin falling in-step with Jason walking towards Shane's cabin.

Shane had his hair straightened after he had his second shower form after swimming. He smiled as he slipped into his white jeans which were tight but no to tight. He wore a pink shirt that worked for him. He then slipped on his classic leather jacket which made him be Shane. He slipped on a pair of his shoes grabbing in guitar then stepped out of the cabin as his best friends appeared.

"Ready" He asked as they started walking

"Absolutely" Jason said excited

"Yea of course, are you Shane" Nate asked

"I am so let's get this night started" Shane said as they walked to the camp rock theater.

Shane dropped off his guitar at the back where he would get it before he went on and then they made their way towards the table where they were judging. They sat down ready for the show to start even though he was a little nervous. This was what it all came down to, his song, the final moment of truth, maybe heartbreak, over flowing emotions, it was about to happen.

20 minutes after they had sat down everyone seemed to be filed into the camp rock theater. Parents, campers, staff, everyone was ready for the Final Jam as the lights deemed and everyone cheered as Brown appeared on stage.

"Is everyone ready for the Final jam?" He called and the crowd went wild cheering as the performers were at the back getting ready for their performances.

"First we have Baron and Sander and the Cross my Heart Crew" He shouted getting off stage as the campers emerged on stage for their performance.

Baron and Sander sand and dance along with the other campers and they used skateboards and some were wearing roller blades well dancing. The lights were flashing all different colors and it was really unique and exciting. When they finished everyone cheered as they bowed and cleared the floor as Brown came up to announce the next two acts.

The next two acts were well done. Tess Tyler sang play with fire and everyone was pretty sure it was real this time. Her 'friends' were back-up singers of course. She did pretty well it seemed real this time to everyone clapped when she finished as she bowed and walked over stage her nose stuck up into the air.

Kylee was the next act. She sang a song she wrote called never underestimate a girl. The girls definitely cheered once she was done as it was an empowering song. He was a good performing. She sang and danced using the stage which was a good quality.

"Those were amazing" Brown announced as he came out back onto the stage "Now for our second last act and the winner of last year Margaret Dupree" He called as everyone cheered as Peggy stepped out with her guitar.

Peggy played a song she wrote called crazier. A lot of people enjoyed it and it seemed to have a lot of meaning to her and she was happy as she played it. She sang it with emotion and meaning through her words which was a really good quality. She smiled as she finished and the crowd erupted into cheers. She smiled coming as Mitchie and Caitlyn quickly congratulated her as they were the final once to perform.

"Thank you Margaret" Brown called "That was excellent. Now for our final performance of the even please welcome Mitchie Torres and Caitlyn Gellar" He called running off the stage

Every one cheered as Caitlyn went onto the piano and Mitchie walked up to the microphone. This was it she was letting him no she wanted him it was now or never as the lights dimmed a spotlight on her as the slow music started playing as her voice started singing.

My state of mind has finally
got the best of me
I need you next to me
I'll try to find a way that I
can get to you
Just wanna get to you

The world I see is perfect now,
you're all around
With you I can breathe

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here
by my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

Mitchie has been looking at Shane every now and then and he easily knew it was about it a lot of people probably did and it was driving him insane. He was lost through all the emotion and strength in her voice. She really wanted her message across. He clearly got that she wanted him but what else? Was there more within her eyes but what was all this about? Wasn't it her who originally said they couldn't be friends? He was so confused

Alone inside, I can only hear
your voice
Ringing through the noise

Can't find my mind, keeps on
coming back to you
Always back to you

Wanted something out of reach
It's killing me, you're all i see, yeah

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by
my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

Jason and Nate turned to look at Shane but they were a little alarmed with was they saw. He was clearly gripping the table hard his muscles all tensed and un-relaxed. They were a little uneasy as Shane was clearly shaking as his hands were turning white form his grip. This wasn't could there was obvious pain as she shook. Nate sighed as well as Jason and they tried to focus on the performance which was hard.

Just stop wondering
If we were meant to be
Forget about fate and just hold me
I'm ready to begin
The waiting has to end
Right now, today
I've gotta find a way

Mine...
Until you're
Mine...

Until you're mine, I have to find
A way to fill this hole inside
I can't survive without you here by
my side
Until you're mine, not gonna be
Even close to complete
I won't rest until you're mine
Mine...

My state of mind, has finally got the
best of me,
I need you next to me...

Mitchie finished and the crowd absolutely erupted. She had slight tears in her eyes as she and Caitlyn went back stage waiting for the results as they were last performance, well for the competition anyway. Mitchie whipped her eyes smiling giving the best performance of her life, it was all her and so much emotion it was overpowering.

Shane had to get ready he slammed his paper to his brother standing up and going backstage still tense. She had to go and say that when his song said the total opposite but he had to let her know he knew it was over it was item for her accept that even though they didn't want it he saw no way for them to be together again.

"Alright" Brown called "That was the end of Final Jam" he called and everyone cheered "Now well two of our judges discuss the winner we have a special performance for you all" he stated

Everyone cheered as Nate and Jason went to the back of the theatre where they could see the performance to judge. They knew it was going to be interesting and so powerful. Nate looked at Shane's page for his opinions but there was only one word written on the page in huge letters.

MITCHIE!

Nate sighed and then Shane walked out and sat on a stool near the microphone with his guitar in his lap. He started strumming his guitar as everyone watched as he let it all out on the stage in front of the camp.

Yeah..
Woah..

I know this isn't what I wanted
I never thought it'd come this far
Just thinking back to where we started
and how we lost all that we are

We were young and times were easy
But I could see it's not the same
I'm standing here but you don't see me
I'd give it all for that to change

And I don't want to lose her
I don't wanna let her go

Standing out in the rain
Need to know if it's over
'cause I will leave you alone

Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that i'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm

Before the Storm

With every strike of lightning
Comes a memory that lasts

Not a word is left unspoken,
as the thunder starts to crash

Maybe I should give up

After the give up line Shane had been trying to hide his tears but contemplating giving up he lost his control. Tears started falling from his eyes but kept singing. He needed Mitchie to know. His voice cracks but he keeps singing breaking down in front of everyone but he took this risk and was not backing out now.

I'm standing out in the rain,
I need to know if its over,
cause I will leave you alone.

Flooded with all this pain,
Knowing that i'll never hold her,
Like I did before the storm

Trying to keep the light from going in

And the clouds from ripping out my broken heart.
We always say a heart is not whole without the one,
who gets you through the storm.

Standing out in the rain, knowing that it's really over
Please don't leave me alone, flooded with all this pain,
knowing that i'll never hold you, like I did before the storm

yeah

Like a did before the storm

Shane finished and there was barely one dry eye in the room. Seeing him cry was enough to make many cry. Nate and Jason had tears. The one it affecting the most was practically sobbing backstage at the wing. It was all about her and she had to cry. She couldn't stand seeing him cry.

He immediately back off his stool running off the stage dropping his guitar and run out the back of the theatre as everyone was still stunned form the performance.

"Shane" Mitchie whispered about to run after him but was held back by Caitlyn and Peggy as she began to cry again.

"Mitchie after the winning announcement, then you can go okay?" Caitlyn said

Mitchie sighs "Alright"

Nate and Jason whisper the winner to Brown as he walks back onto stage with tears sparkling in his eyes to. Shane really touched everyone. Even though he was outside sobbing he had touched everyone inside and Mitchie was hurting. She needed to find him Brown needed to do this fast.

"Alright, well that was quite a performance let's give it up" He called as everyone clapped for Shane "Alright well after lots of consideration the winner of this year's final jam is none other than..." HE stops

"WHO" Everyone screams as he laughs

"MITCHIE TORRES AND CAITLYN GELLAR" HE shouted as everyone cheer and just filed with applause

Caitlyn and Mitchie walk onto stage smiling as Dee hands them the trophy and they hold it up as everyone cheers and flashes of cameras blind them

"Congratulation girls" Brown called "Final Jam is over, now let's do the jam session" He said as everyone went back stage

"Brown you have to do it without me" She said

"Go" he nodded as she took off running out the back as everyone else started the jam session. Nate, Brown, Jason and Caitlyn were all hoping she would find him they had to be together, right?

A/N: I'll keep this short since it was a really long chapter the longest I think. Anyway that was the second last chapter it all comes down to this. Will Smitchie be together after all? I guess you will have to read next chapter. It might be long might not be. Hope you enjoy I worked my ass off to get this out. Enjoy, read and review. Sorry for Errors keep reading! REVIEW PLEASE!
