Hey guys,
I would just like to say a huge thank you to those of you who reviewed the last chapter :) It's because of you that this chapter is up. I have decided to turn this into a short story because it's the kind thing to do as so many of you have asked.
Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock, just this plot and anyone you don't know ;)
Enjoy, x
"Shane" She whispered before grabbing her bag and running across the road. She walked in the cafe, sitting lightly in a chair in front of him as he smiled weakly at her.
"Bad day?"
As Shane looked back down at the table nodding, Mitchie felt tears spring to her eyes. She didn't even know Shane that well, yet the sight of him like this drew her to tears.
"What happened?" She whispered as she reached across and touched him gently on the hand. He slowly tangled his hand in hers and looked up at her. Tears in his eyes.
He sighed, a single tear falling down his cheek and onto his lips where he licked it away slowly, closing his eyes as the salty taste erupted in his mouth.
"My fiancee" He explained. Mitchie winced at the word. She felt such a strong connection to him, a must and a want to be near him, yet she couldn't because of the fact he was due to get married very soon. "She - We got into a fight. She said that she heard I was going to a salon for only women, asking me to be groomed everywhere. She thought I was looking for sex from you!" He cried as he sat up, reaching his hands above his head in anger and sadness; leaving her own hand on the table alone. She slowly took it back to her body as she gasped.
"What are you talking about, Shane?" She asked, confused and upset, she didn't want to be the reason for them splitting up.
"Mitchie, she said someone told her about us in the salon together, how I came to you and asked you to help me, when I could have gone to a men's salon. The truth - " He started and butterflies grew in her stomach. What if he was going to say that he loved her and wanted to be with her? "The truth is that I knew you could help me look good for her, more than any man could. I needed you Mitchie. But you may have just cost me my marriage" He whispered before standing up and walking out, leaving Mitchie sitting alone in the cafe, confused and upset. He hated her. He hated her and they didn't even know each other.
She sighed as she payed the bill for his drink and grabbed her bag, pushing the door and entering the street. It was a lovely sunny day and Mitchie looked across to her salon. There she saw Bethany hanging around inside impatiently, trying to look through my appointment book on her desk. A frown appeared on her forehead as Mitchie tried to figure out what she was doing. She slowly took off across the road, keeping her distance and keeping out of sight as she watched Bethany. She was now sitting in her desk, looking through her books and letters and even her computer. She was writing things down on a piece of paper and Mitchie saw enough.
She stormed her way to the salon, slamming the door open and stood, her arms crossed over her chest, as she tapped her foot impatiently and angrily on the floor. "What the hell are you doing?!" She bellowed as she slammed her perfectly manicured hands down on the table. Bethany jumped as she stood up quickly off the chair, obviously scared by the sudden gesture.
"Mitchie, you're back. I've been waiting for you for ages. Where have you been?" She asked, pretending nothing had happened.
"Bethany, what are you not telling me? Why are you looking through my books and files. What are you trying to find?" She asked as she looked up at Bethany, who gulped nervously under Mitchie's stare.
"Er, I think we should talk" She admitted walking and sitting in the waiting room. Mitchie followed and sat down opposite her.
"Bethany, what is going on?" She whispered as she ran her long lean fingers through her perfectly styled hair.
"OK! I heard you were cheating with Shane, even though he's engaged! Mitchie, how could you do that!" She asked, tears springing to her eyes as they fell down her cheeks. She stood up and walked across to the window, leaning her arms against the small wooden frame.
"What are you talking about Bethany? Where did you hear this? It's not true at all" Mitchie informed as she stood up and started pacing.
"I just heard it, Mitch. I thought I should tell you before it gets around. This is a women's salon and you allowing Shane to be a patient of yours just gives you a bad image. All your clients have been talking about it" She admitted. Mitchie gasped. How could the people she desperately tried to help to feel beautiful be talking about her behind her back?
She looked down.
"OK, I did offer him a place at the salon. But it was only because he thought he'd get better service at a women's salon because they would understand what a women thought. He wanted to look the best for his wife and I didn't want to turn him down. You have to understand me Bethany! I would never ever cheat with another women's man" She moaned. "I think it's best if you go, I have to sort this"
"OK, I'll get the word around, Mitchie. Let's get you back to business and let's hope that they can sort it out" Bethany smiled as she walked out the salon. Mitchie screamed, slumping down at her desk, tears falling from her eyes.
Why had the universe suddenly turned against her for no apparent reason?
Two hours later and Mitchie had called all of her clients to explain what had happened, she had called all of her family who may of heard and she even tried calling Shane, but only got his answer machine. She couldn't loose everything that she worked so hard to achieve. All those people that she tried to help. She did nothing wrong. She saw a shadow walking past the window and she looked up, seeing Shane standing by the door.
Slowly getting up, she walked over to the door, opening it to let him in. Looking at him, she waited for him to say something. She needed him to say something.
"Shane?" She whispered.
"It's OK. Everything is OK" He laughed as he picked her up and hugged her tight. Spinning her around she giggled as he put her down, looking in her eyes. "It's all OK, Mitchie. Thank you so much!" She smiled up at him, trying to convince him she was happy.
"Shane that is so great! I'm so happy for you" She chirped before walking away into the waiting room.
"What's the matter Mitch?" He asked as he came up behind her.
"Nothing. I'm just not feeling to good" She lied. Sighing he spun her around and kissed her passionately. Shocked and confused, she started to kiss back lightly before trying to push him away. This only caused him to grab her waist and hold her to him. She sighed as she relaxed in his touch.
Little did she know that Bethany had returned to the salon, unaware of what she would find around the corner ...
There you go :)
Thank you guys, I hope you enjoyed it.
What do you think is going to happen? Will Bethany pretend that she didn't see anything? Or will she confront the two?
Review and you'll find out :)
Love you,
Eloise xx
