I am back with chapter two! I update pretty quickly. Mainly because I have an eight hour work day and four hours of actual work. So you, the reader, benefits from my lack of real work to do. I don't really have anything else to say except enjoy the story! Oh and…

Disclaimer: I don't own Camp Rock. I simply use it to further the enjoyment of all.

Mitchie awoke the next morning with the sun shining in her eyes and an alarm going off in her ear. She covered her head with a blanket and grabbed blindly for the alarm. Her hand hit something, there was a crash and there was no more buzzing. She was about to go back to sleep when she realized that Shane should have turned off the alarm. She then realized that she was alone in the bed. She popped her head out of the covers. Other than Shane missing, nothing was different. Wait, today was her birthday! Why had he left her on her birthday! She was about to start fuming when she noticed a letter sitting on the pillow beside her. She grabbed it and opened it quickly. Shane's rough penmanship stared back at her.

Mitchie,

Had to run some errands this morning before my eleven o'clock class. Set the alarm because I knew you wouldn't wake up on your own. See you at lunch. I love you.

Shane

Mitchie smiled and snuggled back under the covers, the letter on her chest. He must have been planning some last minute birthday details. She should have known he wouldn't forget, though she thought it a little odd that he didn't wish her a happy birthday on the card. Shrugging it off she got up and showered and dressed for her ten AM class.

Sitting through class was excruciatingly boring. She browsed the internet, read a book, anything she could do to get through class. Her notes, for the time that she tried to take them, were pathetic because she just couldn't pay attention to what was going on. She was meeting Shane for lunch when the class was over and she was getting impatient.

Finally, after what seemed like days instead of the hour and a half it was, her professor finally released them. She stuffed books and her laptop before running off to the usual place that she met Shane. She saw him through the window, sitting down at a table, his nose in a text book. She slid into the seat across from him.

"Hey," she said when he looked up and then leaned across the table to give him a quick peck on the lips.

"Hey. Want the usual for lunch?" he closed his book and stood up. There wasn't a flower, card or present in sight. The words happy birthday didn't pass his lips. She could care less about the fact that he didn't get her anything but to not even wish her happy birthday? She was starting to wonder if something else was going on.

"Yeah, sure." She watched him walk over to the counter, pick out the usual things and then pay for it all. She had tried to keep him from buying her everything all the time but she realized after awhile that it was futile. He liked buying her things. When he had started buying her food before she got there so that she wouldn't insist on paying for it, she got the hint. He walked back to the table and set her food in front of her.

"So how was class?" he asked her as he dug into his meal. She picked at hers.

"Ok, I guess. Boring. I couldn't pay attention."

"Why is that?"

'Because I was thinking too much about spending my birthday with you,' she thought but stopped herself from saying it out loud. Maybe he was trying to be coy. Somehow, though, she didn't think so. She thought that he had just plain forgotten.

Shane had forgotten her birthday.

"Just had a lot on my mind," she told him. She continued to pick at the lettuce on her plate. Suddenly she really wasn't hungry. She swished her salad around on her plate a little more to make it look like she had actually eaten something before she decided that she should go. "Hey, I hate to cut lunch short but I have a huge paper due. I have to get to library to do some research."

Before Shane could say a word she had emptied her tray into the trash and walked out the door.

She hadn't even kissed him goodbye.

Mitchie trudged through the rest of the day mad at the world. Well, she was actually only mad with Shane but she seemed to be taking it out on the world. She attended her other classes and though she took notes, she couldn't tell you what they were on. She had been too busy fuming.

He was her fiancé and he couldn't even be bothered to remember her birthday! She always remembered his, had always planned something special. He hadn't even been home for the past two of her birthdays that they had been dating for and she hadn't said a word about it. It had killed her that he couldn't be there but she had been the understanding fiancé because what else was she going to do? She couldn't change it so she made the best of it.

Now that he was home he didn't even bother to remember.

"Mitchie!"

Mitchie's head shot up and a girl around her own height with blonde hair hugged her so hard she nearly fell over.

"Jesus Christ, Jessie." Despite her words, Mitchie smiled. Jessie was her roommate from freshman year and they were still good friends. In fact, she was probably the best friend that Mitchie had in college. She had been there for all the ups, downs and in-betweens when it came to Mitchie and Shane's relationship.

"Sorry. Happy Birthday! How does it feel to be twenty?" Jessie asked her friend. The two girls started walking toward the student center.

"Other than a douche bag fiancé, fantastic."

"Uh oh, what did he do now?"

"Forgot my birthday."

Jessie stopped walking abruptly and Mitchie had walked a few steps before realizing that her friend wasn't beside her. Mitchie turned to see and incredulous look written all over Jessie's face.

"You're kidding me? He didn't actually forget it did he?"

"It's almost five in the evening and I haven't even gotten so much as a happy birthday," Mitchie said as they resumed their walking. "I don't know what else to think."

"Maybe it's all part of the surprise," Jessie suggested with a shrug. "Maybe you'll go back to your room and there will be a surprise waiting for you and not saying anything about your birthday was all a big hoax."

"I guess it's possible," Mitchie said hesitantly. Shane usually did things with a lot of flair but doing things that made her squirm wasn't really his style. Well, there was one thing that he did that made her squirm but that was something else entirely. She wanted to stay hopeful but she felt she was just setting herself up for more disappointment.

"Of course it's possible." Jessie just wanted to keep her friend's hopes up. "Hey, let's go out clubbing this Thursday. Even if he ends up forgetting than at least you can have a birthday night out with your girlfriends."

"That's true… why not? What else do I have to do on a Thursday night?"

"Don't sound so excited about it, Mitchie."

"Sorry, Jess, I've just been stressed out. Are you up for some food?"

"Aren't you going to be eating with Shane?" Jessie asked.

"Eating where? He doesn't have any dinner plans at any place out. He didn't mention eating together today. I'm certainly not going to rearrange my schedule for a guy who can't even be bothered to ask me out to our dining hall."

"You two should keep a calendar of when you plan to be mad at each other so you can at least be mad at the same time. It would give you a larger amount of time together when you're not mad if you just do it all at once. Sometimes I wonder how you two even stay together."

"You're not the only one, Jessie."

Jessie stopped in her tracks and just stared at Mitchie. Prepared this time,Mitchie stopped just as suddenly. Jessie stopped like this a lot and Mitchie, by this point could usually stop just ask quickly. She stood there looking at Jessie and waited her out knowing that eventually Jessie mouth would catch up with her mind.

"You're not serious? You and Shane are meant to be together, Mitchie. I've never seen two people so perfectly suited to each other." Jessie started walking again and Mitchie fell easily into step with her.

"I don't know if I am or not. We're from two different worlds, Jess. I'm the girl who comes from nothing and is going no where. Shane is already famous and he's not even twenty-one yet. Girls fawn over him everywhere we go—"

"Ok, to Shane's defense, that's not his fault. And he never even looks at them. Usually he just brushes them off and then introduces you and then continues to ignore them."

"I'm not saying that he pursues them. I just hate that they're always around him."

The two girls walked into the dining hall and handed the bored student running the desk their ID cards. He swiped them and then handed them back. The two girls headed for the nearest empty table and plopped their bags down. Jessie looked at the menu posted at the end of the lines. Nothing looked especially good but then school food was mediocre on the best of days. Once in a blue moon they managed to make something really spectacular but the Sloppy Joes on the menu suggested that today wasn't going to be that day. They both decided that a grilled cheese sandwich with some curly fries was probably their best bet of getting something edible.

"Mitchie," Jessie said to her as they grabbed their trays, "you're about to marry a rock star. You're about to spend your life to someone who is constantly in the lime light. You had to have known that fan girls and business trips and social events were all going to part of the package. If you didn't want any of that, you shouldn't have signed on."

"It's not that I didn't want it. I guess I just didn't realize how nearly invisible I would be next to him. I want to be seen as Shane Grey's girlfriend, not his arm candy."

"That's Hollywood," Jessie shrugged. "Until you marry him they won't really take you seriously and even then they won't until you've been married a few years and they know you're not going to get a divorce at the first sign of trouble."

"And what about kids and family? I want them but I can't raise them by themselves. I need their dad to be there. I don't want to raise them on the road but how can I ask someone to give up their job and stay home?"

"If he's really serious about you then he won't see it as giving up. He'll see it as a huge gain. He's going to have kids and a family and that should be more important to him than a career in music. Besides, it's not like he'll never be able to go back to his music. He'll just be taking a few years off."

They sat down at the table and Mitchie stabbed the salad she had gotten herself violently. Jessie just raised an eyebrow but kept her mouth shut. When Mitchie wanted to talk, she'd talk and she'd say exactly what she means to. It was easy like that with Mitchie. A person just had to have some patience.

"Maybe I should talk to him about all of this. I'm sitting here planning a wedding and I don't even know if he wants children. Two people who can't even talk about the important things shouldn't be getting married."

"I'm sure it will all work out, Mitchie. Shane loves you and just wants to see you happy. When you stop being angry at him about your birthday, just sit down and talk to him."

--

Shane knocked on Mitchie's door. He hadn't seen her all day, she hadn't been picking up her phone and now it was night and she never came back to their room. Well, it was actually his room because she had a roommate where he opted to pay for a single this year but still. They were always there together, every night. She was the reason he had gotten the single room. He knocked again when there was no answer, this time a little louder. She was angry at him, he knew it, he just couldn't figure out why. Finally the door creaked open and Mitchie stood before him in her pajamas looking a little rumpled from sleep and entirely too sexy for her own good.

"Shane, do you have any idea what time it is?"

Actually, he knew exactly what time it was. It was one AM. He had gone to sleep early, probably around ten assuming that she would walk in later. It had happened often enough. Only about ten minutes ago he woke up because she hadn't been sleeping next to him and he wasn't used to it. He knew she didn't usually stay out that late so he had walked up a flight of stairs to her room and started banging on the door, not caring if her roommate woke up or not.

"It's really late. I was worried about you."

"I'm here," she answered. "Obviously. Where else would I be?"

He wondered if she was serious. She looked pretty serious but he couldn't be sure.

"Our room," he answered even though he felt stupid for saying the obvious answer.

"You mean your room?" she asked, slightly stressing the your. "Why would I be there?"

Shane wanted to scream in frustration. What was with this girl today? What had he done that she was so angry with him? He just wanted to fix it, kiss her and curl up next to her in bed before falling into blissful sleep. Instead of doing that, he was sitting in the hall, answering incredibly stupid question and realizing he was going to regret being up so late when he got up for his eight AM class tomorrow.

"No, I meant our room and you're there every night so I didn't think that today would be any different. Apparently I was wrong."

"Well I guess I just forgot. You know what it's like when you forget, right, Shane? I mean, you've forgotten something recently, haven't you?"

If Shane had been confused before, it was nothing to what he felt now. He didn't think that he had forgotten anything but he doubted she would be saying something if he didn't. Was it their anniversary? No, that was in November. It wasn't their first date or their first kiss or their first anything. It wasn't his birthday or her…shit. She watched as understanding dawned onto his face.

"Oh, Mitchie, it was today. Your birthday was today."

"No," she said, "my birthday was yesterday." She slammed the door in his face. Shane didn't even try and stop her.

Shane is in trouble, Shane is in trouble! Lots of discourse going on between our favorite couple. Is Mitchie going to decide that they really don't belong together? Is Shane going to make it up to her? WHAT WILL HAPPEN!!!

To be honest, I don't really know. So really there's no point in asking. :-D However, a good way to find out would be to stay tuned, read the next chapter and tell all your friends about me. ^^
