Chapter 6

Epiphany

I awoke the next morning with a massive headache. I looked at the alarm and saw that it was 11:30. Shit. I'd over slept. Was Ana mad? Oh well. Guess I should find out. I got ready, took a couple Prozac and headed out the door. Catching my breath, wow I'm lightheaded.

I passed the cafeteria and looked in to see Tess and Shane sitting together, I did not like this. I did not like feeling like this. Why was I feeling like this? Ah. I hate this…

When I entered the kitchen, I could tell something was up with Ana.

"Hey," I said quietly.

"Mitchie," She started, "Are you taking your medicine like you should?" Her brows always furrow when she worries.

"I think so…"

"I looked at your bottle, you're down to half, we've only been here two weeks… You were supposed to have enough of your prescription to last the summer…" Tears were forming in her eyes, "Please be honest with me."

"Oh, Ana…" I couldn't think of anything to say…

"Should I call doctor Higgins?"

"No Ana, I'm very sorry… I guess I just forget… Could you help me remember?" I was crying now… I can't remember starting to cry. "I'm so sorry."

She pulled me into an embrace, "I love you, of course I'll help you."

I wished I'd felt better after that.

I was finishing up sweeping the cafeteria when I noticed how empty it was. I looked at the piano and I didn't think about it. I walked up and began to lightly touch the keys. Then it just happened, I sang.

Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night, and wouldn't you love to love her, takes to the sky like a bird in flight, and who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman, taken by the wind, would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win?

She is like a cat in the dark, and then she is the darkness, she rules her life like a fine, skylark, and when the sky is starless

All your life you've never seen a woman, taken by the wind. Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? Will you ever win?

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, Rhiannon, Rhiannon

She rings like a bell through the night, and wouldn't you love to love her? She rules her life like a bird in flight, and who will be her lover?

All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind. Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? Will you ever win?

Rhiannon, Rhiannon, Rhiannon, Oooh

Taken by, Taken by the sky, Taken by, Taken by the sky, Taken by, Taken by the sky

Dreams unwind, Loves a state of mind, Dreams unwind, Loves a state of mind

"That was bloody great!" voice behind me exclaimed.

I jumped and turned around to see Brown standing behind me grinning. I stood quickly, I could feel my body shaking.

"Uhm thanks." I said meekly.

"Not a problem love, you should stop in one of my classes sometime." with a smile he left.

After he left I thought about the song. And who it reminded me of. Tess. God now she was even invading my creativity.

I hadn't seen or heard from Shane all day… Was he with Tess. Did he decide to kiss her? Woah- I'm getting way to obsessed. Guys don't like obsessed. Will guys ever like me? Oh god. This has GOT to stop.

XxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxX

The next day, still not having heard from Shane, I spent most of my time alone, outside. I walked the winding paths of the camp until I reached the place Shane had followed me to the night he'd said he'd wanted to be my friend. Will that be all he'll ever want from me? Okay, really, this HAS to stop.

Sighing I sat leaning against a tree, knees pulled up to my chest.

What would a guy like Shane see in me anyway? I mean, I'm kitchen help. He's a rock star. My mother is a cook, my father is a hardware store owner. His mother is a model, his father is a producer, his uncle owns this camp, my uncle- Hell I don't even have an uncle. I'm an average high school student. Tess is the daughter of T.J. Tyler, of course Shane would want to be with her instead…
Am I really doing this right now? Am I really freaking out over a guy. I mean, I've never even had a boyfriend. I'm not used to these feelings. I don't know how to handle this. Plus realistically, it would never work between Shane and I. He's famous. Once you cross that line between not being famous and being famous, it seems as though you can never fully cross back. Also, would I REALLY be able to handle the press? Come on…

But, I really just. Oh hell. I like him. I like Shane Grey. Shit. This is not good.

It was getting dark as I made my way back to my cabin.

"Mitchie!" Just hearing his voice made my heart speed up and my tummy flutter.

I turned and smiled as I saw Shane jogging towards me.

"Hey," I grinned like a fool.

"What's up, I haven't seen you for awhile." He touched my arm, leading me back to the camp paths, the light was fading.

"I don't know, I was in the kitchen most of yesterday, and I've been exploring today," I laughed.

"That's cool," he smiled.

"Where are we going?"

"The docks."

"Oh." His hand was still on my arm…

"Yeah, I wanted to tell you something…." He said as we sat feet dangling on the edge of the docks.

"Well… Hey! Wanna take a canoe ride? We can talk there…"

"Ok, sure" I said following him….

DUN, DUN, DUN, DUN!! Cliffhanger!! Sorry, it's been like ten years since my last update. I was having a bit of writer's block, but I'm ok now. Plus, I've been working on top of school and trying to have a life haha. Well I hope you liked it, I'm pretty excited for the next chapter though. I love twists.- Em.
