The Reason That I'm Singing: Chapter 38
We came back to New York the following Monday, after the concert in Baltimore (on the Saturday) and Boston (on the Sunday).
Tuesday was our first show of three at Madison Square Garden.
Shane's family watched the show and loved it.
They invited us back to stay the night due to not seeing Shane properly in so long.
"Of course we will mom, if you want us to."
"Savannah will you be home tonight?" Shane's dad asked.
She shook her head, "No, I think I'll be at Shane's." She answered.
"That's fine; can she have your bed Shane?" Their dad asked.
"Yes, of course." Shane answered smirking at Savannah; we knew she wouldn't be sleeping in Shane's bed. Their dad was still a bit protective of his daughter even though she was the eldest.
"Can we leave now?" Andrew asked impatiently.
I laughed, "Yes, let's go. We just need to change."
We got back at around eleven-thirty and all sat down to have a cup of tea.
"Now can we trust you two to share a bed tonight?" Shane's mom asked us.
"Mom, I'm nineteen." He groaned.
"Well, I'll take that as a yes. But no funny business, you have to be a good example to your brother."
"Mom, I'm seventeen. I know what sex is, I know they are most likely having it."
"We're not!" I said rather quickly.
"Yeah, cause that sounds innocent, Mitch." Shane said to me, "Mitchie and I are not having sex, we are waiting until marriage."
"You two are going to get married?" Andrew asked.
"Well yeah, one day." Shane answered resulting in his mom smiling.
By midnight, I was extremely tired so Shane and I went up to his room.
"I don't have any pyjamas." I realized.
He went over to his drawers and grabbed a pair of boxers and a shirt for me.
I grabbed them off him and went into his bathroom to change.
"This is strange." I stated coming out to find him in bed waiting for me already.
"What is?"
"The boxer shorts." I laughed.
...
As planned, my parents and Caitlyn grandmother came to the remaining New York shows at Madison Square Garden, sitting with Shane's parents.
"I've missed you, mommy." I cried jumping into her arms.
It was before the show on our second night at Madison Square Garden and it was the first time I had seen my parents since before I went on tour.
My dad came a second later and he hugged me tightly too.
"I've missed you too, dad."
"We missed you too, kiddo."
I chatted with them and did my own hair for the night, just straightening it this time.
"You pretty much know about everything. I do speak to you every day." I laughed as I put the final touches on my hair.
"As long as you have been having fun, I'm happy." My dad said.
"Thanks dad."
I began warming up my voice as it got closer to show time. Shane came in to say hello to my parents and the three of them chatted.
...
We were performing in New Jersey on the Wednesday night, after doing another show at Madison Square Garden, then one in Bethel and Buffalo.
Shane, Jason, Savannah and I were dropped off at my house after Nate and Caitlyn were dropped off at hers. We were meeting at the venue later.
I missed by bed, as soon as I got inside I ran upstairs and threw myself on top of it.
"Missed your room?" Savannah asked, she had followed me up.
"Yeah, I didn't really realize it until now."
'I'm just glad I don't have to go to class." She sighed happily, sitting down on my bed with me.
"Yeah, I wonder what everyone is doing at school right now. It's strange being at home on a school day."
"Speaking of school, we have homework to do." She said pulling out her laptop from its bag.
"Fine, let's start."
We spent an hour doing work; Savannah managed to finish an assignment off and sent it in.
"If only I could do work that fast." I commented.
"Years of practise." She laughed.
...
The concert that night was being streamed live onto the internet.
Sierra was the one who told me this, I had no idea.
She was going to watch it, seeming as she couldn't exactly just fly in to see the actual show.
"Okay you guys," I said to the crowd as I went across the stage to grab my acoustic guitar. A stool was brought out for me to sit on and I sat my microphone in the microphone stand. "This is a song I wrote for one of my best friends who is watching tonight from China. I promised myself you would hear this song one day, so here it is."
"She was given the world
So much that she couldn't see
And she needed someone
To show her who she could be
And she tried to survive
Wearing her heart on her sleeve
But I needed you to believe
You had your dreams
I had mine
You had your fears
I was fine
Showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide
She was scared of it all
Watching from far away
And she was given a role
Never knew just when to play
And she tried to survive
Living a life on her own
Always afraid of the throne
But you've given me
The strength to find home
You had your dreams
I had mine
You had your fears
I was fine
Showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide
She was scared, unprepared
Left in the dark, falling apart
I can survive with you by my side
We're gonna be all right
(We're gonna be all right)
This is what happens
When two worlds collide
You had your dreams
I had mine
You had your fears
I was fine
Showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide
You had your dreams
I had mine
You had your fears
I was fine
Showed me what I couldn't find
When two different worlds collide
When two different worlds collide"
"I love you, Sierra."
...
I went home for the night; Shane was able to stay with me. Savannah and Jason went to Caitlyn's to use the spare bedroom.
My mom and dad beat us home of course and already had the spare mattress on the floor of my bedroom ready to be slept in.
"Mom?" I yelled out once stepping into my room.
"Yeah, honey?" She asked a moment later, coming into my room.
"Did you set up the mattress in here?"
"Yeah, I figured you'd be too tired to do it."
"I mean, why did you set it up in here?" I asked.
"Didn't you want Shane in there with you?"
"Yes, but does dad know?"
"Yes, truthfully he tried to pull it out of your room but I talked to him."
"He trusts me then?" Shane asked.
"Of course, Shane."
"Well I'm off to bed. Do you two need anything?" She asked.
"No, mom." I answered her before we all said goodnight.
I pulled off my jacket and shirt in front of Shane, leaving me in my jeans and bra, before changing into a shirt for bed.
"You really have got more confidence." He commented as I pulled my jeans off and changed into some sweats.
"Your turn." I said ignoring him and sitting down on my bed.
He went over to my drawers, where he had some of his clothes, and got changed in front of me.
I got into my bed as did Shane, "We are sleeping in your bed which is smaller than the mattress." He laughed.
"I missed my bed." I pouted.
"Night, love." He whispered kissing my forehead.
I snuggled into his chest; I really couldn't imagine my life any other way.
...
We had the next day off and weren't due to be in Washington until the next morning.
We woke up and made the mattress look like it had been slept in.
My mom made us breakfast and my dad stayed back to eat as we he was going into the store late so he could spend some time with me before we had to leave.
He soon had to leave and I gave him a big hug goodbye.
"Love you, dad."
"Love you too, Mitchie." He said letting go of me, "I trust you to take good care of my girl." He said to Shane.
"Always." Shane grinned at him.
My dad smiled and gave him a man-hug.
...
"Savannah, where's my curling iron?" I yelled from my bedroom on the bus.
"In the bathroom, I used it to do my hair!" She yelled from down the bathroom.
"Your hair is naturally curly!" Shane yelled out.
"But it looks better this way!" She retorted.
"Girls." Shane muttered as I made my way to the bathroom. "Tell me you aren't going to try and curl your hair whilst we are driving."
"Yes, it will be already and curly for when we wake up in Washington. I've only been there once before on a class trip."
"Do I have to remind you of what happened when you tried to take a shower on the moving bus?" He questioned me as I plugged the curling iron into the wall.
"No, but I'd just like to mention the bath we had because I couldn't have a shower on the bus."
I swore he blushed slightly before he wrapped his arms around me from behind and began kissing my neck lightly.
I finally managed to get my hair done half an hour later, it just took some work adjusting to every bump we'd hit to avoid falling over or burning myself.
"Hey, we'll be there in about two hours." Sam yelled from the front of the bus.
"Do we have a hotel booked?" Nate asked from the lounge room.
"No, did you want to find one?"
"Nah, we'll be fine in the bus tonight." Nate replied.
"You want to go to sleep?" Shane asked me.
"Yeah, I'll miss it after the tour is over."
...
I awoke the next morning, and left Shane asleep, to go get some breakfast. Jason and Savannah were sitting at the table eating their breakfast; they hadn't noticed me so I stood there not moving.
Jason was feeding her some eggs of his fork. Savannah swallowed and didn't say anything; she just gazed into his eyes.
"I love you, Jase. It's always been you since I first met you." She confessed.
"I love you too, Sav. You're the only girl I've felt so strongly about."
He put his fork down and caressed her face with his hand before kissing her softly.
"Jason Fuller, you've turned my world around." She giggled.
"Savannah Gray, you are my world."
Not wanting to spoil their moment, I waited until they started a casual conversation before joining them.
"You two seem happy." I noted, pretending that I heard none of their conversation.
"Yeah, I'm glad that I can be here." Savannah said.
"Now you're here, you need to help me get something for Shane's birthday. It's in a few days and I completely forgot about it until just this morning. We seriously need a giant calendar in all of our rooms. I don't even have the faintest clue on what to get him" I rambled.
"Mitchie, I will help you. We will go find a mall today and work something out."
"What do I get him though? I mean I recorded a song for him last year, I can't do that again."
"Shane will love whatever you get him." Jason promised me.
Caitlyn, Savannah and I found ourselves at the closest mall to the venue a couple hours later.
I had been noticed several times but still wasn't annoyed by it. It was seriously weird, but cool.
I really couldn't find anything that I wanted to buy him.
"I should have figured this out ages ago! I'll just play him a song."
"Mitchie, he loves your music. He'll love a song." Savannah said as we walked past an Apple shop.
"He doesn't have an iPod." I commented.
"He doesn't what?" Caitlyn asked, shocked.
"Yeah, it's kind of surprising. He only has one of those stupid little MP3 players that fit hardly anything on it all for when he works out."
"God Shane, get with the times." Caitlyn joked as I pulled her and Savannah into the store.
"Which one do I get him?" I asked.
"Get him one he can put movies on, that will be good for long flights." Savannah said.
The sales guy came up to me, "Can I help you Miss?"
"Yes, I'm looking for an iPod."
"Well you came to the right place, sweetheart." He winked at me.
"She's not single." Caitlyn coughed, resulting in me glaring at her.
"It's for my boyfriend's birthday." I told him.
"Well, other than listening to music, what do you think he'll use it for mostly?"
"Probably watching movies for when he travels. He travels a lot." I said.
"Leaving you on your own?" He laughed lightly.
"No, I'm travelling with him at the moment." I answered.
"I thought it was you, Mitchie Torres the singer right?"
I nodded.
"Okay, I'd recommend the Classic iPod, perfect for movies. You interested in an engraving?"
...
With the new iPod in my bag we caught a taxi and returned to the venue where our tour bus was.
"Where are the guys?" Caitlyn asked Sam, who was up the front on the bus reading a novel.
"They went to play golf somewhere nearby."
"Good, I can steal Shane's laptop and put his favorite music on the iPod."
The next two days we spent performing in Virginia Beach and Atlanta. We had a day off for Shane's birthday the following day.
It was five minutes to midnight and we were on the bus, "Enjoy the last five minutes of being a teenager Pop Star." I told him.
"I know a way, but it would take longer than five minutes."
I rolled my eyes, "Sorry jerk, but I could sing you a song for your birthday." I opted.
He nodded and handed me the acoustic guitar that was on the floor of our room.
"Well we have almost a twelve hour drive; we won't be in until almost noon tomorrow. I hope you have lots of songs to sing."
I giggled, "I'll let you know that this song, although new, goes back to before I recorded with you. I know that I probably shouldn't have been with you because you are a celebrity and that's not how Hollywood works."
Shane frowned, "I never cared what everyone said about us. I still don't. We are meant to be together."
"I just felt like it was wrong, us being together, like we were breaking the rules." I explained.
"Play me the song, babe." He urged me, smiling.
"And I feel, I feel a deep connection,
And I think, that we might be onto something, no
And I know it's something special,
Seeing you here, is not coincidental, mmh
Well, I've been walkin, walkin, behind enemy lines,
And I've been fighting, fighting, from the other side,
I've been saying, saying, I won't fall this time,
But now I'm walkin, walkin, within enemy lines.
See, I was trying to be everything you weren't expecting,
All I ever wanted was to try and keep you guessing,
Now I'm falling way too fast,
I just want this love to last, forever,
Every time I feel this way,
Oh something's changed for the better
And I've been walkin, walkin, behind enemy lines,
And I've been fightin, fighting, from the other side,
And I've been saying, saying, I won't fall this time,
Now I'm walkin, walkin, within enemy lines
And now I'm walkin, walkin, behind enemy lines,
And now I'm fightin, fighting, from the other side,
And I've been saying, saying, I won't fall this time,
Now I'm walkin, walkin, within enemy lines"
"I love it." He said, kissing me softly and running his hand through my hair.
"Guess what." I asked a moment later, pulling away.
"What?" He asked.
"You're officially twenty." I told him, looking at the clock hanging above the bed.
"I'm getting old." He chuckled.
"Happy birthday Shane, I'll give you your present in the morning."
"Tease." He joked.
I got into the bed properly, waiting for Shane to get in before pulling the covers over both of us.
"I guess I'm sleeping with the enemy tonight." I giggled.
One review off 600...I love you guys!
