Start All Over? Chapter 12: I Want To Be Stronger For You Shane, a camp rock fanfic

I'm happy. That's all I can say. Read and review!

"Oh shit," Shane muttered. He quickly ran into the kitchen and grabbed his car keys. Kenny and Nate gave him weird and confused looks but he simply ignored them as he ran. Before he could get in his car though, his two younger brothers stopped him.

"Shane, where are you going?" Kenny frantically asked. Shane quickly went inside his car and turned on the engine. He rolled down his window.

"Listen, I know where Mitchie is. Call everyone and tell them to meet up at the hospital. I'll bring Mitchie."

"'Kay man," Nate said as he threw Shane his cell phone. "Don't forget this. Call us when you find her."

"Sure." Shane pulled out of the garage quickly and sped down the street to where he thought Mitchie would be. But in the process, the garage door was also opening up so Shane's car slammed into half of the garage door, shattering the bottom half into pieces. Nate and Kenny just stared at the gaping hole, both their jaws open and hanging.

"No way," they both said after a long period of silence.

"You're explaining this to Mom and Dad," Kenny said.

Nate simply shook his head. "Shane's gonna be dead."

Shane sped down the street as fast as be could, not going over the speed limit which was 15 miles per hour and was two slow, so it really annoyed him. Even though, Shane was able to get to the park quickly and parked. He slammed the door closed to his car and ran towards the forest. Mitchie wasn't far now. Just a few more meters and he would be standing near her.

After leaving Shane's house, Mitchie ran to the nearby park which was only a few blocks away. Even though she had decided to run away, she wanted to think about what she was doing, plan ahead, and just be sure of herself. Because she came to her special place often, she was used to running this far. She quickly came up to the waterfall and sat on the bridge but not to close to the edge.

Mitchie closed her eyes and let herself flow with the sounds of Mother Nature. She listened closely to the small waterfall crashing on the rocks; the babbling brook nearby and the small fish that would occasionally jump up; the birds singing and fluttering from tree to tree or just going with the wind. Mitchie could even hear some crickets even though it was only four o' clock and light didn't seem like it was leaving anytime soon. Mitchie laid down on her back, letting loose hair in her face flow with the wind as she closed her eyes.

She actually thought that running away didn't seem as bad it could.

After about ten minutes of basically meditating, Mitchie pulled out her guitar. Ironically, she had chosen to bring it with her. She also pulled out her songbook and turned to a certain page. Mitchie tuned her guitar a little before strumming and starting to sing,

"The night is getting darker
Soon the stars will be falling down to rescue us,
Sing a song for me,
Lift me higher with your words,
Sing that cold melody
Now follow me
Onto the moonlit sidewalk
And take my hand
Grip it tighter, don't let it go"

Passions taking over skies
Leaving sand behind for them to choke on
They'll try to speak
Negatively about us,
But they cant say another word
They'll realize,
Jealousy, has taken over their minds
Trying to break us down
But what they don't know
Is it only makes us stronger.

"Please be here, please be here," Shane hopefully whispered to himself as he ran down the trail. Sure he ran a lot but this trail was completely eating him up. There were so many hills, slopes, and it was so steep. He was pretty surprised and impressed by how many times Mitchie had been here and gotten used to it. Even so, Shane's legs were able to carry him to the bushes before Mitchie's special place. Before he got past the bushes, he heard a person singing. Shane instantly knew that it was Mitchie.

Shane peeked through the bushes and his suspicions were right. There Mitchie was, sitting on the ledge of the bridge, guitar in hand, and her songbook in front of her. Shane decided to just keep quiet and watch Mitchie for a while. Not like a stalker, but just as a caring boyfriend. The crisp silence was ended though when Mitchie said,

"I want to be stronger for you Shane."

Shane was shocked. He thought that his cover was blown and that Mitchie saw him but he was wrong. Mitchie just placed her guitar behind her, lying down on the bridge, and she just sighed. She swung to her legs and said to herself, thinking no one was watching and that she was alone, "Should I do this? Won't everyone miss me? Will everyone miss me?"

Shane was once again shocked, but was also confused. What is she talking about? he thought. Wait, no, no, no. No way! She's gonna jump! She's gonna commit suicide because she thinks everyone hates her! Shane immediately jumped up from his spot and ran towards Mitchie. He started screaming, "Wait! Mitchie! Don't do it!"

Mitchie was surprised and just stared at Shane's running figure. "Sh-shane? What are you doing here?" She noticed that he was still running towards her. "Wait! Shane! Stop running! You're gonna--"

It was too late. Mitchie couldn't finish her sentence cause Shane slipped on the edge of the bridge and fell. Who's bright idea was it to make a bridge with no railing? Not even a rope rail? Shane tripped and fell off the bridge. He tried to grab the bridge's plank but his fingers slipped. "AAH!"

"Shane!"

"Hello?"

"Tess!"

"Nate? What's up? You wanna talk to Caitlyn?"

"No, not now. I need you to bring everyone to the hospital!"

"What? Why?" Tess gasped from her side of the line. "Is Jason having problems?"

"No. It's Mitchie and Shane."

"Did Shane find her? Are they hurt?"

"I don't know yet! Just bring everyone to the hospital!"

"Okay, okay. Pushy."

Nate quickly hung up and grabbed his jacket. Kenny did the same but stopped zipping up when he realized something. "Um, Nate? How are we gonna get to the hospital? You are still getting your license." Nate pointed to the clock.

"It's five o' clock. You know what that means." Right after Nate said this, they could both hear their parents honking from the driveway.

"Awesome. Let's go." Both boys ran outside and went into the car, slamming both doors heard. Their parents immediately became concerned.

"Sweeties, what's wrong?" Mrs. Gray asked her sons.

"We need to get to the hospital stat!" Kenny quickly said. Mr. Gray nodded and drove out of the driveway.

"Guys, what's wrong?" Mr. Gray asked from up front.

"It's Mitchie! She ran away and Shane went after her. He told us to meet him at the hospital," Nate explained.

"Oh my God, oh my God," Mitchie breathed out quickly. She ran down to where Shane's limp body was. She noticed something red on his head and pushed away some of his hairs. There was a large bloody gash on his head and his arm seemed twisted in an angle it should never be in. "Oh my God, oh my God."

Out of nowhere, Mitchie heard a phone ringing. It was playing Come Back to Me by the Plain White T's. Wow, Mitchie thought. It completely fit the situation. Mitchie immediately knew it was Shane's cell and ran to it. She answered it. "Hello?"

"Mitchie?"

"Nate?"

"Where's Shane?"

"He's knocked out and bleeding. I also think his arm is broken by the looks of it."

"Man! You didn't kick his ass for finding you, did you?"

"No, he accidentally fell down a waterfall."

Mitchie could practically hear Nate gag. "A-a-a wa-waterfall?!"

"Yeah, I'll explain at the hospital. I need to call 911."

"Okay, bye."

Nate, Kenny, and their parents immediately got to the hospital before Mitchie and the unconcious Shane. Caitlyn, Tess, and the others, too. Since they didn't want Nate to be swarmed by fans, they all decided to stay in Jason's room, obviously with the hospital's permission. Jason was surprised.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you guys giving me a party?" Jason asked excitedly.

"No, Mitchie and Shane told us to meet them here but since it would be best that I wouldn't be swarmed by fans, we're staying your room," Nate explained. Jason pouted when he learned he wasn't getting a party but quickly put on a serious and worried expression when he heard about Shane and Mitchie. Everyone turned to Kenny, who was at the doorway, when they heard him gasp.

"I don't think that's how they meant to meet us," Kenny said to everyone, but still staring as he watched Shane, in a stretcher, come rolling in, still in his very bloody state. His used to be white t-shirt was now a soaked, bloody red. Everyone ran to the doorway just in time to see Mitchie running in after Shane on the stretcher.

Yeah, so um. I decided to go on with that story from last chapter. If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the bottom part of the chapter before. So, I still need some job ideas for Joe and Kevin and Nick. You can get some ideas from the show Burn Notice. And, yeah, I already chose who was the person who burned him. So, back to this story. You know what to do.

Ja ne.
