Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Camp Rock or any of it's characters.
Though I know we'd all like to(:

In my opinion my last chapter completely sucked. It's not what I usually write but I'm glad you liked the letter(:


That night something had stirred inside of Mitchie. She could feel her insides melting at the mere touch of the small piece of paper that gave her one more glimpse of hope. But she found her mind... Blank as to memories before that. She remembered hearing her mystery guy sing and her mystery guy talking to her. But in between it was a big blur.

Setting down dishes Mitchie headed out the door and into the Dining Hall. Fellow campers stood from their seats and began to cheer. Mitchie looked around as if expecting someone important to be behind her, but failed to see anyone.

Caitlyn smiled and greeted her with a hug. "Congrats."

"On what?" Mitchie took a seat as the campers around her took their seats and began to eat once more.

"The song... With Tess. Last night." Caitlyn gave her table a dismissal look as she figured what was going on.

"Uh guys lets go get some more toast. We'll be back in a bit." Lola signaled for them to follow, flashing Mitchie a broad smile before returning on her way towards the back.

"What song?" Mitchie looked slightly worried, she looked around cautiously as if there was something she should be aware of.

Caitlyn sighed. It had happened once again. Just when it seemed like Mitchie was doing good everything seemed to fall apart. "Well uh it's nothing. How about some breakfast huh?" Caitlyn warmly gestured towards the food and began to chow down.

Shane found himself pacing again. He'd come to realize he did it more often now than usual. But horrible thoughts had been slyly creeping into his mind. Pounding him like bullets to his head.

And if you read this letter and send me a response I'll promise to come to wherever you are no matter what it takes. I can only hope that you write back as soon as possible

Had he found her letter sooner and sent her his reply, she would have come to him. She wouldn't have had the accident and at this very moment... She would remember.

Why he even cared anymore was the answer he truly searched for. The one he had been searching for since their fight. He just couldn't bring himself to not care, let alone forget about her. Or what they had for that matter.

Talking to her would surely fix things, but confronting her was one of his biggest fears. She still cared for him, no doubt about that. If she didn't she wouldn't have gone looking for him that night. Clearly there was still feelings on both sides that were merely afraid to come out.

Still thoughts that she had found someone new already found their way into his mind. Surely a girl as pretty, talented, and smart as her would have a new love interest in no time. But him, yeah people would think Shane Gray can have any girl he wants. But in reality there was only one girl. A single person changed his life for the better. Inspired him to love another with all his heart and soul. But no. She didn't love him. Her heart didn't belong to him after all. It's not like he was stupid, he heard the camp gossip. Mitchie Torres was looking for her dream guy. The man that could make her remember what was lost. That kind of guy was probably twice the man he'd ever be.

--

"I'll see you guys later." Mitchie waved to her friends as the campers cleared the dining hall. Locking the doors behind them she got ready to clean. Gathering plates from different tables she couldn't help but sing aloud the lyrics that filled her head constantly.

The lyrics seemed to calm her, as if they were meant for her. Like she had heard them before many times but couldn't place her finger on exactly where and when.

But just when she thought she was in love, Shane's face came to mind. She was surprised at how fast she fell in love with this mystery man. But then again she had only met Shane for three days and it felt as if she'd known him her whole life. And quite frankly, it frightened her. How easy she had put her heart out on the line only to have it shattered. Yes it was indeed her fault. She should have told her mom that she was going to love who she wanted to, and that was that.

But things have a tenancy to make sense after its to late. When your chance has already come and gone, you find the small idea that you only wish you'd discovered earlier. Nonetheless it was over. That was that. It was time to move on, besides this mystery guy had to be everything she ever dreamed of. She didn't even know him and it already seemed like he was the one her heart had been searching for. Then again that's how it felt when she was with Shane. Hearing this guy sing sent chills up her spine, sent butterflies to the pit of her stomach. Which was a feeling she recognized all to much.

"Where did you here that song?"

Mitchie jumped at her mom's voice, sending all her thoughts to the back of her mind. "It's this guy." Mitchie smiled a little but her mom's expression only deepened.

Connie sat at a table and gestured for Mitchie to do the same. "I'm listening."

"Okay, well... Fist off, I'm over Shane." Mitchie set the plates down and took a seat across from her mom who sat intently.

"I'm glad to here." Her face still didn't soften in the least bit. It seemed to get more tense with every word she spoke.

"So after we got in trouble with Brown I was in the Mess hall. You know, just clearing my head." Mitchie paused for a moment and looked up at her mom who nodded.

"And while I was in there I heard someone coming. Well I obviously wasn't supposed to be in there so I walked out the back door. I was going to leave when I heard it." Mitchie smiled her face lit up like the sun.

"It?"

"Him. His voice. It was so... Beautiful. It made me remember." Mitchie twisted her hands together playing with them obviously out of nervousness.

"What exactly do you remember?" Connie loved the news of Mitchie's memory. It was definitely a step up, but she couldn't get to over joyed. After all in a few days Mitchie might not even remember this conversation.

"The first day I spent with... Yeah but it's not important. All that matters is when I hear his voice... I remember." Mitchie stood up from her seat and took the plates in her hands. "I'm going to wash these and then head down to the lake for awhile."

Connie smiled and waited until Mitchie had left the room. If the song Mitchie was singing when she had walked in was his song... Then this definitely wasn't good.

Tess looked around the campgrounds. For what? She herself didn't exactly know. All she knew was that Shane's heart belonged to Mitchie. There was nothing she could do about it. Yes, her mom would be very disappointed there was no doubt about that. But what could she do? He clearly wasn't interested.

The only good thing that had come out of this, Mitchie didn't have any feelings for him. None whatsoever. She was only concerned about this "Mystery Man" with the amazing voice. That absolutely killed Shane. Everyone could tell.

Tess' attitude was one that was common in a "Mean Girl". Never positive unless she had what she wanted. As far as she was concerned, if she couldn't have him then nobody could. Pretty soon he would learn to deal with that and accept the idea that she was the only one for him. Of course getting to that point wouldn't be easy, but then again, who said it would?

--

"Shane would you please grow up and act like a mature adult." Brown begged looking down at a motionless Shane who lay on his bedroom floor, listening to heartbreak songs. Some Brown wasn't even aware that Shane knew.

No response. Brown sighed and realized he'd tried all but one thing. A small smirk crept upon his face as he exited the room for about ten minutes. It even got to the point where Shane had wondered if he'd merely just given up. Closing his eyes he found himself drifting off slowly.

"Shane." A small whisper in front of him caused him to jump. His eyes widening in alert only to see a pair of big brown ones staring back at him. Dark colored bangs danced above her eyes, and just by that he could immediately tell who had laid down in front of him.

"What?" He snapped finding himself sounding more cold then he intended.

Her smile faded quickly and she soon realized she'd made a mistake. "I"m sorry. I'm stupid, I shouldn't have come." She jumped up and began to leave. One word spoken held her back.

"Why?"

Mitchie froze taking in a deep breath. "What do you mean why?" She took a few steps forward to where he sat on the floor.

Shane stood so he could see her at eye level. "You know what I'm talking about." He stated without hesitation. His voice a bit cold towards her but other than that no other emotion escaped from him.

She looked away and bit her lip. "I don't know Shane. It just couldn't work."

"Bullshit."

"Excuse me?" Mitchie was taken aback by his comment. Surely he didn't mean for it to come out so harsh. But of course it did.

"You know that's a lie! Look at you, you don't even believe what your saying!" He could feel his body churning inside, faster and faster as his voice grew louder.

"Look, I didn't come here to argue with you." Mitchie turned to leave but felt a hand tug her back.

"Why am I not good enough? What did I do to hurt you?" His voice softened a little but was still full of rage.

"You didn't do anything it's-"

"Then why am I never good enough for you?! Tell me what you want and I'll be that for you! I'd travel to the ends of the earth and back for you."

"I know," Mitchie felt tears stinging her eyes for what seemed like the millionth time since she had gotten here. "It's just not that simple."

"Why?! Why not?!"

"Because it just wouldn't work out, I care about you I really do but-"

"Do you love me?" Taking her hands in his he looked her in the eyes.

"Shane, not now."

"Yes... Or no? Do you love me?" He wiped a few stray tears from her eyes and she looked away. Opening her mouth she couldn't find the words to say.

"I have to go." Taking her hands from his she turned and walked out the door, leaving him with his heart ripped out of his chest and on the floor.

--

Ridiculous. That was the only word Mitchie felt could possibly begin to describe what she had done. He poured his heart and soul out to her and she blew it all away? What was she supposed to do? Tell him 'I love you' when that clearly wasn't the truth. In fact it was anything but the truth. She was indeed in love, but her heart didn't belong to him. Sometimes it felt as if she was chasing a fantasy. A guy whom she would never find.

Mitchie walked slowly along the shore of the lake, wiping a tear every now and then when necessary. One thing that scared her the most about what had happened... She wanted to say yes. It wasn't just a small part of her willing to take a chance. No. It was every part of her shouting to the world that she did love him, and he was what she wanted. But she knew better than to tell a lie. Especially one with that much power and affection.

Tess looked out over the lake. She had been studying the young girl for awhile, and it seemed as though an idea had finally come to mind. A sly smirk crept upon her lips as she pulled out a pink sidekick. Her manicured fingernails dialed a few numbers and she then held it to her ear.

"Hey it's Tess."

"Oh god."

"Shut up. I need a favor." She snapped.

"What do you want princess?"

Ignoring the comment she continued, "I guarantee you it'll help your stupid friends Shane and Mitchie."

"And you of course?"

"Obviously, why else would I do it? Okay so here's the idea..."

--

Mitchie took a seat pulling off her flip flops. Staring out at the water she knew she had a decision to make, one that would surely be painful in many ways. But it was something that had to be done. She couldn't go on breaking Shane's heart after he constantly put it out on the line for her.

"Your the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you"

Mitchie often found herself singing those few lines aloud when she had trouble thinking. It was almost as if-

"Your the missing piece I need. The song inside of me."

Upon hearing this voice Mitchie quickly turned around, she wouldn't let him go by unseen again. Staring at him he wasn't quite what she imagined. He hadn't sung the lyrics but he said them in a way that she knew was sincere.

"You sing my song quite well." He smiled walking a bit closer to her.

"Well uh what can I say." Mitchie stammered a bit as she stood up and dusted herself off.

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing out here all alone?" He wiped a few stray tears from her face and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

"Depends on who wants to know." She mentally kicked herself. How lame did that sound. "I'm Mitchie."

"I love your name... It's so unique." He smiled once more which sent butterflies to her stomach. "Oh and I suppose you would like to know my name?"

Mitchie giggled a bit, "That would be nice."

"Nate."

"Well Nate it's a pleasure to meet you." Mitchie giggled taking his hand.

"Believe me the pleasures all mine."
