AN: Aww, you guys are the best! As Caitlyn would say, this is in honor of all you Camp Rock (fans)…It's my special way of thanking you for reading my story, reviewing, and or adding me to your story alert list/favorite list. Thanks to everyone who comes across this page. You guys are awesome!
Angie-Ange, your comment made me smile. Your wish is my command.
Live Like Music, thanks so much for your suggestion. I can't believe I didn't think of those songs. And I'm supposed to be an Instant Star fan. I'll definitely use your idea.
AlexaJ, me too. Tess is evil! Poor Jason and Ella :-(. I'm sure Tess is up to something, she always is.
Rider Arya Svit-kona, I like it too. I should hope so (since I'm writing it). But sometimes you write something, and then when you look at it a second time, you hate it and start over again. You know what I mean?
epobbp, thanks so much for your suggestion. I think it'd work perfectly.
phuong1317, so do I. It's not over yet, not even by the end of this chapter.
Emily McDonald, I'm happy you want me to keep going. So here's the next chapter.
ersy, you want the next chapter? You got it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Camp Rock, or any of the characters. Just my own ideas.
Chapter 5: All Apologies
"Caitlyn, got a minute?" Mitchie said, trying to keep the excitement out of her voice.
"For you? Of course!" Caitlyn smiled. "What's up?"
"I was working on something, but I'm kinda stuck. Do you think you can help me?"
"Yeah, for sure," Caitlyn assured her. "Just let me know when and where."
"Um, how about after dinner tomorrow?" Mitchie said, trying to sound like she just came up with the idea. "Maybe around 8:00?"
"I'm so there," Caitlyn promised.
Mitchie's POV: I can't believe my plan's going so perfectly. Now, it's all up to Nate.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Mitchie? Are you there?" Shane called out.
"Go away!" Mitchie said, not even getting up from her position.
"Yeah, Shane, go away and leave Mitchie alone!" Caitlyn said defensively.
"Not until I talk to her. 5 minutes, that's all I want. Please, Mitchie," Shane begged.
Caitlyn looked at Mitchie, who nodded. Caitlyn opened the door and let Shane in.
"Mitchie," Shane said, his voice sad. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier. I still meant the part where I said I liked you, but I'm sorry for getting upset when you didn't feel the same way."
"Shane, no. I'm the one who's sorry. I'm sorry if I hurt you, I never meant to. I guess I was just wasn't ready for a relationship with you. I was afraid that things would be different, and that we couldn't be friends anymore, if something were to mess up our friendship," Mitchie admitted.
"No, I'm sorry, for rushing into things before you were ready. I thought you felt the same way about me, as I do about you. You've changed me, Mitchie, and for that, I owe you so much," Shane shook his head. "I love you, Mitchie, and I think I started to when I first saw you. But if you're not ready yet, I can wait. I'd wait forever for you. I don't care if there's millions of other girls screaming 'I love you' to me, you'd still be the only girl who mattered to me. The one who sees the real me, and doesn't treat me any different."
"Kiss him already!" Caitlyn commanded.
"I don't know," Mitchie said, still unsure. "I-"
But Caitlyn pulled them closer together, and Mitchie and Shane bumped heads.
"OW!" They said together. Mitchie glared at Caitlyn, and Shane looked slightly amused.
"Hey, it's not my fault you won't kiss the guy," Caitlyn said defensively.
"What about you and Nate, huh?" Mitchie blurted out Caitlyn's secret, as Caitlyn turned a bright shade of pink.
"What do you mean, Caitlyn and Nate?" Shane said, confused. Then it hit him. "Oh, you mean…I didn't know Caitlyn liked Nate."
"Hello, I'm right here," Caitlyn said sarcastically, just as Mitchie was about to answer.
"Yeah, probably just as much as you like me," Mitchie answered. "If not more."
"Thanks a lot," Caitlyn glared. "It was supposed to be our little secret."
"Guys, guys," Shane said as the girls started arguing. "I think I can help. You know, set Caitlyn and Nate up on a date." And tease him in the process, Shane thought to himself.
"OK, how about 8:00 tonight? In my cabin? That way, Nate won't suspect anything." Mitchie said.
"Better yet, what about my cabin?" Shane said. "We're not doing anything, just practicing as always. And Uncle Brown won't come back, he's too busy doing cabin checks. We can double…"
"I don't know," Mitchie said, just as Caitlyn gave her a pleading look.
"Come on, Mitchie, I won't go if you don't come with me," Caitlyn made sad puppy-dog eyes at her friend.
"OK," Mitchie said hesitantly.
The next night, at 8:00 p.m.
Shane glanced at the clock for the millionth time. Mitchie and Caitlyn should've been here by now. "Where are they?" Shane grumbled.
"I'm sure they're on the way," Nate said. Jason was curled up in his bunk, crying over what Ella had said the day before.
"Or maybe... " Shane said, just as there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Shane said. He went to the door, but before he could open it, the door flew open, revealing a smiling Mitchie and a stunningly gorgeous girl he couldn't recognize.
"Hey guys," Mitchie said, smiling. "Ready to go?"
"Go where?" Nate said. Then he did a double take. "Wait a sec…Caitlyn?" Nate's eyes were nearly popping out of his head.
"In the flesh," Caitlyn said, smiling back at him.
Nate's POV: OMG! Caitlyn's soooo HOT! I can't believe I'm going out on a date with her.
Caitlyn's POV: OMG! Nate's soooo HOT! I can't believe I'm going out on a date with him.
AN: Next up, the date. What's going to happen? You'll just have to wait and see ;-). Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the songs some of you suggested. Or Jason and Ella. I'll get back to them in a little while.
Please review, OK? It'd mean the world to me. I need 4 reviews (but I'm hoping for more than that). I'll try to post more soon, but I'll be busy tomorrow (Friday). FYI, if I don't get to post the next chapter on Friday, I'll definitely have it up on Saturday, I promise.
