"Hey Mitch, can you come here?" Jason yelled from the other room.
I looked at Caitlyn as we were packing up our things to go to the tour bus. I shrugged and headed into Jason's joint room. I looked at him confused and I could tell that he was trying to figure out what was the right thing to say. Shane and Nate gave him an encouraging look and Jason then said,
"Hey guys how about you help Caitlyn take the bags to the tour bus. So I can talk to Mitchie alone."
They nodded and I gave him a look. I then asked,
"What is this about?"
"I wanted to see what your thought were to going back home to get you a few things that you might want and to visit our parents together." Jason explained.
I was surprised and then said,
"Of course Jason. I would love to go home. I would love to my best friend again. I been trying to get ahold of her but there has been no answer. I hope she is alright. I also think our parents would love to see us together."
I gave him a hug and we headed onto the bus. Jason explained to Mark what the new plan was. Mark nodded and radioed to the others.
"So does Jack know the plan?" Nate asked.
Jason nodded and said,
"He is all for it. We will be taking a detour through Mitch and mine hometown."
They all nodded and Caitlyn spoke up and said,
"I get to see where my new bff grew up."
I nodded and we headed off to home. I thought I would never go back there again. But I am glad I am. We saw the welcoming sign and I smiled. I went up to Mark and gave him directions to my house. We were able to get there and I looked at Jason. He nodded and walked out.
"Alright Mark we will meet you at the hotel. Mitchie will show us the way. See you later." Nate told him patting his back.
Mark nodded and drove off. I turned around and said,
"Welcome to my….. Our home."
I looked over to Jason and he grinned at me. We walked into the house and I told them to make their self at home. I ran up to my room and looked around. It was as I left it. I could not believe it. Everything was still here. I went over to my keyboard and touched it. I smiled and then sighed. I heard a knock and I turned to see Shane standing there.
"So this is little Mitchie's room." He said looking around.
I nodded and then said,
"Yeah, it looks just like I left it."
He nodded and then looked around. There he found my poster of Connect Three behind my door. He looked at me and gave me a grin. I tried not to blush but I could feel it creeping up.
"So you were a fan of the band." He said.
"Well, I liked your guys music but I did not like your attidute. But you have changed Shane. You are not the guy that everyone thinks you are. They just got to get to know you like I did." I told him.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." Shane said.
He was really close to me on my bed. I looked at him and tried not to blush even harder. Right then Jason came up to check on me. He made a coughing noise and then said,
"Mitchie there are someone here to see you."
I nodded and got up. I quickly ran past Jason. I knew he was glaring at Shane. I came down the stairs and saw her. There sitting in my living room was my best friend Serria. I ran up to her and gave her a hug.
"Oh my gosh. I miss you so much." Serria told me.
"Same. What have I missed?" I asked.
"Besides the first week of school. Nothing much. Everyone at school is talking about how you are sister to one of the Connect Three bandmates. Marsie and her crew doesn't believe you. They been saying that you are trying to do some type of stunt and get famous off of them." Serria explained.
"What! This Marsie is a redicious. My best friend doesn't lie. She is telling the truth." Caitlyn almost screamed.
Serria looked at me and then to Cailyn. I smiled at Caitlyn and then said,
"Serria this is Caitlyn. I met her at Camp Rock. Caitlyn this is my childhood best friend Serria."
Caitlyn nodded and then I said,
"So I haven't missed much. How are you Serria? I have been trying to reach you this whole time."
"Oh that. I have been really busy. I was meaning to call you back. But you know how the first week goes." She said.
I nodded but something did not feel right about this. Serria was different. She was being akward around me. I looked at her and then she looked at her phone. She then said,
"I have to go. I will see you around Mitchie."
I nodded and tried to give her a hug goodbye but she was already out the door. I looked at my brother and he said,
"Well, that was interesting."
I nodded. I then went back up stairs and got the rest of the things I needed. I came back down and said,
"Ready to go. Let's head to the hotel. It's not far to walk."
We headed out the front door and there was a crowd of poparrozis waiting for us. I looked at my brother and he pulled me back into the house. Nate took his phone out and started to call someone.
"Hey Jack, we are surrounded."
"Yeah, we are at Mitchie and Jason's place. Alright see you soon."
Nate hanged up and looked at us. He nodded and said,
"Backup is on it's way. So let's just chill until it comes."
We all nodded and I went to the kitchen to get some water for everyone. I came back in and said,
"Sorry this is all we got. Everything else is probably bad by now."
"It's alright. So this is the place you grew up. Have any good stories to tell us so we can pass the time?" Nate asked.
I thought about it and said,
"Actually no. This home was wonderful but outside these doors was a living nightmare."
"What do you mean by that? If you don't mind me asking?" Shane asked.
"Of course not. The thing is I only have on friend here and you just met her. Everyone else was rude and bullied me at school. I was a loser. Everyone around town thought I was weird and crazy for wanting to follow my dreams. Plus I think they all know the truth about my family and no one said a thing. They kind of shunned our family for it." I explained.
Jason gave me a look and I then said,
"But mum and dad always gave me the love and encouragement. I know now they regret everything they did to you and how they let you go without a fight. Dad never was the same after that night. Neither was mum. They do love you Jason and never forgot about you. We always watched Hot Tones and every show you were on. They never missed one big break you did. I think they were just too ashamed on their part to reach out to you."
"Well, I know that they love me because they kept the promise they made me." Jason started.
I gave him a look and he continued,
"I made them promise that they would do anything in their power to let you follow your dreams and to help you achieve it."
I gave him a look and gave him a hug. I was so amazed on how my brother could still surprise me. I had a few tears that I quickly wiped away. Right then we heard a banging on the door. I got up to open it up to see this big guy standing there. The boys got up all excited. They smiled and Nate asked,
"We thought you were in retirement."
"I was but then I got a call that said my boys needed my help. So of course I had to come save them." The big guy said.
He lead us to the limo that was waiting for us. We all got in. No one was passing him. He slipped in after us. I looked at Shane and he smiled and said,
"Ladies, I would like to intrudce you to the best bodyguard ever. This is Big Rob. He has been our bodyguard since we started. But recently he went into retirement."
"Well, it's nice to meet you both. I have heard so much about you two from these boys in their emails. It's great to see you Mitchie. Jason has told me so much about you as he grew up." Big Rob said.
"Well, it's nice to meet the guy that kept my big brother safe all these years." I told him.
We got to the hotel and there stood was Jack. He smiled to us and said,
"Are you all right?"
"We are fine. Thanks for sending the best." Nate said.
"Yes, Big Rob agreed to come back to protect you all. He will be the head of your guards." Jack explained.
"Here are your rooms. The girls are still need to be prepared. So if you all want to head up to relax then go ahead." Jack explained.
We nodded and head up to the room. I sat down on a bed and turned on the tv. There was playing Hot Tones. I let it be background noise then I heard a familiar voice. I turned to see…
