Hello everybody.
First thank you again for the reviews, alerts, and everything. It makes my day when I see that you like the story, so continue. =D
I don't think I'll be taking any new break for a long time unless something happens in family again, let's hope not I've cried enough this week. I won't enter in the details because I don't think anyone wants to know about that.
So enough with my life, on with the story. Here is the 6th chapter, hope you'll like it. Please review.
She had no other choice, she had to sing.
Chapter 6:
Mitchie went next to Caitlyn. "Stop the music." She told her best friend.
"No, you have to sing this song." Caitlyn said, standing her ground. "Stop being your stubborn self and sing." She pushed her back only to see her coming back.
"I'll sing it. I just want to play the original version." Mitchie told her and Caitlyn finally stopped the music. "Thank you."
Campers started to whisper while Mitchie made her way to the piano. She looked quickly at Shane who looked a little confused. When she sat at the piano, the whispers stopped and every camper's eyes were on her. She knew that her friends would be looking at Shane.
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know.
Mitchie looked quickly at Shane and saw the blank expression on his face.
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Did it mean he didn't remember?
Do you know what it's like?
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
She looked at Shane again, but didn't look away this time, these were his lyrics. He had to remember.
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you.
Shane still had this blank expression that Mitchie was still failing to understand and tears rolled down her cheeks.
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light shine on me
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
This is me
Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me.
Everybody clapped, but Mitchie noticed that Shane wasn't. She wasn't able to read him. Brown joined her, leaving an exit unprotected. "Miss Mitchie Torres everyone. Let me tell you, you should be honored to have a teacher this talented." Mitchie got up and ran outside. She couldn't stay in the same room as him without knowing if he remembered.
Shane was stunned as Mitchie had finished her song. He knew the song, he knew the lyrics some where is, he knew Mitchie and now he finally knew where he had met her. Everything came back to his memory. Everything, how he had looked for her all that summer only to find her at final jam.
He got out of his daze only when Brown called them on stage. He looked for Mitchie but didn't find her. "Where's Mitchie?" He asked his two band mates.
Nate and Jason looked at each other, grinning. "You remember, don't you?" Nate asked him and Shane nodded, only wanting to know where Mitchie was.
"She went outside, Shane." Mrs. Torres told him. "You should find her by the lake." Shane made his way to the door only to be stopped by his uncle.
"Brown I don't care about the song. I want to make things right with Mitchie." He told and tried to get out of his hold.
"Shane, listen to me. Mitchie is like a daughter to me, so try not to break her heart this time." He said really seriously.
His words made Shane feel guilty, he had broken her heart without even knowing it, he hadn't came for two years, forgot everything about her when she remembered everything about that summer. He felt stupid and ashamed of himself for doing that to her.
He ran outside, barely hearing what the campers were saying. Once outside, he didn't stop running and went by the lake. When he was near enough, he saw that Mrs. Torres had been right; Mitchie was sitting next to the canoes.
"Hi." He said as he sat next to her. Mitchie quickly dried her tears. "I loved your song by the way." He told her when she didn't say hi back.
"Aren't you supposed to sing with Nate and Jason in the mess hall?" She asked once she was sure she could talk without her voice cracking.
"Yeah but I wanted to see if you were okay, I saw you crying before you left." Shane told her, thinking about how he could apologize to her.
"How did you know where to find me?" Mitchie asked him, still looking at the lake.
"Your mother told me I would find you here." Shane admitted. "Mitchie, I'm sorry." Shane said.
"For what?" Mitchie asked him. She knew that he remembered now, but she wouldn't forgive him that easily.
"I'm sorry for forgetting everything about you, for not coming here since we met, for everything." Shane told Mitchie. He was really sorry, Mitchie could tell. "Can you forgive me?" He asked.
"I don't know." Mitchie said with a small smile. "You might have to convince me Mr. Gray." She joked. She had missed him so much in the last three years that she couldn't not forgive him.
"Oh, and what would convince you Miss Torres." He asked, playing along with her.
"A canoe ride might do the trick."
There you are. Hope you liked it. Tell me what you think about the story so far.
