A few minutes later everyone was just sitting by the lake, the girls sitting in between their boyfriends legs resting their head on their boyfriends chest.

"Standing up to the bullies is going to be harder than I thought." Mitchie sighed.

"That wasn't the bullies, that was just the teachers." Mary said. "We still have to face the bullies when we get back."

"Don't worry you guys can do it. You're strong." Shane said.

"I don't feel very strong at this moment."

"Yeah me neither."

"Hey you've both stood up to them before, you can do it again." Joey said.

The girls just looked at each other.

"I never stood up to Natalia; I ran away from her, I never stood up to Dominique either. I left for school and I never had to see them again." Mary said.

"Yeah and I never stood up to Luke or my dad." Mitchie said.

"Yeah but you've stood up to Amber and Tess."

The girls just sighed.

"Look, we will always be there if you girls needs us but don't lose confidence in yourself just because of Steve and Dominique." Shane said.

"Easier said than done, Shane," Mitchie sighed.

"Hey, this used to be the one place you felt confident the most don't let your father or Amber get to you."

"Yeah, that was when I used to come here and escape my father, not come here and be tortured by him."

"Mitchie…"

"Look, Mary and I are doing the best we can to get through this summer without losing it. We are going to do everything we can to enjoy our summer. Just promise you'll always have our backs."

"Promise." Shane said.

"I promise." Joey said.

"We should get back before anyone notices we're gone. We're technically not supposed to be here." Mitchie sighed.

Mary nodded. "The last thing we need is to get in trouble. Mitchie is right. We need to get back."

The guys nodded. Everyone got back into their boats and went back to the other side

Once they got back to the other side the girls sighed.

"Do we really have to get off this boat?" Mitchie asked.

"I wish we didn't." Mary said.

"You don't" Shane said

"What?" the girls asked.

Shane smirked and looked at Joey. "They don't have to take one step out of the boats right?"

Joey looked confused for a second, but then he saw the smirk and understood.

"Yeah, you two don't have to take one step."

Joey approached Mary and Shane approached Mitchie.

"What are you two up to? " Mitchie asked.

The guys smirked and threw the girls over their shoulder. Both girls squealed.

"You don't have to take any steps at all, leave it all to us."

"No!" the girls squealed.

"What do you say Joey, shall we spin?"

"NO!" the girls screamed.

"We shall." Joey smirked.

Both boys started to spin their girls. The girls burst into giggles.

"Put me down Shane!" Mitchie screamed between giggles.

"Joey Parker you put me down right now!" Mary squealed giggling like crazy.

The guys stopped and set the girls back on their feet holding them closer.

"How is it you two can make us laugh so easily?" Mitchie asked.

"We know you, plus we hate seeing you two so upset, we had to do something."

"Well, well, well, look who returned." A voice said.

The girls groaned. All the bullies walked over.

"Thought you could run from us? You're just a bunch of babies." Bree said.

"Yeah, with diapers and stuff." Britt said.

"I'm surprised Mitchie I thought you were braver than this." Tess said.

"Oh she's not." Amber and Luke said at the same time.

"This is just what TDT does." Amber smirks.

"It's what she did during her time at Camp Star."

"Why don't you three just shut up. You know nothing about Mitchie, she is so much stronger than you think." Mary said.

"Mary isn't the baby, you're the babies around here, at least Mary can unpack her own stuff." Mitchie said.

"Ahh but you two don't realize Amber, Luke, and Tess know Mitchie and Bree, Britt, and I know Mary. So between the six of us you two are doomed." Natalia smirked.

Mitchie and Mary looked at each other.

"Why don't the six of you just get lost. Mitchie and Mary are having a rough day and they don't need you making it worse. So get lost or I'm getting my Uncle and he will fire Steve and Dominique and that will get rid of half of you." Shane said.

"We can deal with Tess, Luke, and Amber, we've done it before, so you three better stop treating Mary and Mitchie like dirt or your time here at Camp Rock will be over before it even begins." Joey said.

The six of them ran off.

"Thanks." Mitchie sighed.

"Thanks Joey." Mary whispered.

Both girls stared at the floor too ashamed to look at their boyfriends.

"Hey you guys have nothing to thank us for. We love you and we are going to stick up for you." Shane said.

"Amber was right, I'm acting just like TDT does. I'm acting like TDT would at the place where she's never been before." Mitchie whispered to herself.

"Mitchie look at me." Shane said.

"I'm TDT." Mitchie whispered again.

Shane took her face in his hands making her look at him. "You aren't TDT you never were. You can't let Amber get to you. You've stood up to her before. Why is now so different?"

"Having Steve and Dominique here makes everything harder Shane, you two don't understand how hard this is for us. The two people who have hurt us the most are at the once place we came to escape. It shakes up our confidence a bit. Even though we could stand up to the bullies, having Steve and Dominique here makes that harder."

The boy sighed. "Look just say the word and I'll have Brown fire them both ok?" Shane said.

"No, firing them is like running and letting them win. We have to let them stay and do our best to fight back. Camp Rock is our place, not there's and we will keep it that way." Mitchie said.

"Yeah, We have to stay and fight, no matter what happens." Mary said.

The guys nodded. They knew the girls were being braver than they felt.

"What's next?" Mitchie asked.

"Lunch, if you're hungry…." Shane said.

"I'm always hungry for my mom's cooking Shane."

Everyone laughed and headed to the cafeteria. Everyone got their food and sat down at the table with their friends.

"Are you two ok?" Caitlyn asked.

"Yeah, Shane and Joey cheered us up." Mitchie answered.

"No surprise there. What did they do?"

"Threw us over their shoulder and spun us around." Mary said.

The girls laughed. "Nate does that to me. I try not to laugh but I can't help it."Caitlyn laughed.

"Guys have a way of making up laugh no matter how hard we try not to." Mitchie said.

"That's what makes a good boyfriend." Nate said.

"We are so lucky aren't we girls?" Caitlyn asked.

"Yes, we are." Mitchie said.

"The luckiest." Mary nodded.

"We're the lucky ones." Joey said.

"Yeah, we're the lucky ones, we don't deserve girls as amazing as you." Shane said.

"You three could have anyone in the world, yet you pick us." Nate said.

"What you really mean is, we normal average everyday girls could have any normal every day guys yet we picked the famous, hot, rock stars." Mitchie teased.

"Are you saying you're only with us cause we're famous?" Shane asked.

Mitchie nodded. All three girls burst into giggles.

"You three are so going to get it." Shane said.

The girls just laughed. Before the guys could do anything Dominique came over the loud speaker.

"IF YOU WANT TO SEE A REAL PROFESSIONAL DANCER MEET AT THE STAGE AFTER LUNCH."

Mary went white. "Why do I have the feeling I'll be part of this, somehow?"

"We don't have to stay and watch it." Joey told her.

"I can't run from her. She'll just hunt me down and make me watch it later."

"We will all be there for yoU. We will all be there to get you through it." Nate said.

"Thank you, I can do it. With you guys by my side, I can face them." Mary said.

Mary took a deep breath. Could she really handle all this? What was the worst that could happen?

After lunch everyone met by the stage Mary was shaking as they waited to see what Dominique had planned.

"No matter what she does, Mary, I promise you I'll be right here." Joey said rubbing her back.

Dominique came onto the stage. Everyone cheered.

"Hello, hello, hello everyone! Are you ready to see one of best and youngest dancers of our time?"

Everyone screamed.

"Welcome to the stage Mary Santiago!"

Everyone screamed and cheered. Mary and her friends just looked at each other.

"Should I go?" she asked Joey.

"Yeah, go show everyone what you got. You're a better dancer than everyone here so don't worry."

Mary nodded and went up onto the stage. Dominique smiled at her. "Show us what you got kiddo, make your mother proud."

"What are you doing?" Mary asked.

"Nothing, just show everyone what you can do. Make your mommy proud."

Dominique walked over to the side and hit play on a boom box. Mary looked out into the crowd. She suddenly got nervous until she saw Joey. They shared a smile and she started to dance. On the other side of the stage where no one could see Steve stood there holding onto the microphone wire. As Mary was dancing he was slowly pulling on it bringing to cord closer and closer to Mary's feet.

"Is it just me or is that power cord moving?" Joey asked.

"Yeah, it's moving but why?" Shane asked.

Mitchie noticed her father and gasped. "It's my dad he's going to trip Mary."

"That stage is a good foot off the ground if she falls, she could really get hurt." Shane said.

Everyone started rushing through the crowd to get to Mary.

Mary was dancing getting so lost in the music she didn't even see the cord until it was too late. She tripped and went crashing to the floor. She screamed out in pain. Everyone started to form around her. Dominique and Steve rushed over.

"Everyone move!" Joey growled.

He rushed to Mary's side.

"Baby what happen?" he asked.

"My leg, Joey my leg is it really hurts."

"I'm going to get my Uncle and the nurse just hang tight." Shane said. He ran off.

"Joey it really hurts please help."

"Shhh hang in there sweetie. Shane went to get help."

"Joey," Mary whimpered.

"I'm here sweetie, I'm here."

"What if I broke my leg? I won't be able to dance."

"Shhh don't think like that." Joey soothed rubbing her back.

"If I can't dance….Joey if I can't dance…"

"You'd be letting your own mother down now wouldn't you?" Dominique asked.

"I have to be able to dance Joey!"

"Shhh easy sweetie, just hang in there and don't listen to Dominique."

"DAD HOW COULD YOU!" Mitchie screamed.

"Don't worry Mitchie baby you're next." Steve said.

With that he walked away.

Mitchie was confused but focused more on Mary. The nurse and Brown along with Shane came running back.

"What happen?" the nurse asked.

"She tripped and fell off the stage." Joey said.

The nurse took Mary's leg in her hand and moved it around a little bit.

"Ow, that hurts please stop it." Mary whimpered.

"I can't do much here. She needs to be take to an hospital."

"I'll take her." Connie said quickly running over. "Joey can you carry her to the car?"

"Of course."

Joey lifted her bridal style and carried her to van. Everyone got inside as Joey set Mary down on the seat and buckled her in.

"Joey it still hurts really bad."

"I know baby, hang in there ok. I promise everything will be ok."

Connie took off to the hospital. Everyone was quiet as they drove.

Finally they arrived at the hospital. Everyone went inside. Joey carried Mary in.

"My girlfriend fell a few distances off a stage." He said.

A nurse walked over with a gurney. "Set her down."

He put her down and Mary whimpered. "Can he come back with us?"

"He can but he'll have to wait outside while we take the x-ray."

Mary nodded.

Joey and the others walked back. Leaving the others waiting for information.

After what felt like hours Joey came out and he didn't look happy.

"Well?" Mitchie asked.

"Mary is getting her cast put her. Her leg is broken from the knee down. She has to leave it on for at least four weeks."

"That's not too bad." Mitchie said.

"They said depending on how well her leg heals…" Joey sighed, "…she'll never walk again."

"Which also means…."

"She'll never be able to dance again."

Everyone gasped.

"Does Mary know?"

"She knows it's broken. After the cast is put on the doctors will tell her the news."

"How can she make her leg heal right?"

"She has to stay off it. She has to do as little walking as possible. The more she is on her foot the less of a chance she has of walking again. The less walking she does now the more she will be able to do later."

"Joey, do you realize how hard it is to keep a dancer like Mary off her feet, for four weeks, that's two months. That's half of camp."

"She will if she ever wants to dance again." Joey sighed.

No one said anything.

"It actually might be easier if we leave camp." Joey sighed again.

"No, you can't leave, we will all help Mary but don't leave camp." Mitchie begged.

"We better not leave the camp." Mary said as the doctor pushed her out on a wheel chair. Her leg in a white cast.

"Joey, think about it, can you really handle stubborn me all by yourself?"

"She has a point." Mitchie said. "It's going to take all of us to keep her down. You need us."

Joey sighed. He knew they were right.

"Ok, we will stay but Mary do you understand what you need do for two months. No dancing, no walking, no moving what so ever." Joey said.

"I know. I don't like it but I want to dance again in two months so I have to do what I can. It won't be easy but I'll be able to do it with you guys helping me."

"Of course we will do whatever we can."

Mary gave a small smile. Joey walked over and took the chair from the nurse.

"I got it from here thank you."

The nurse just smiled and walked away. Every left the hospital and went to the car.

"How do I get out?" Mary asked.

Joey lifted her up into his arms. "Consider me your personal movement controller for the next two months."

Mary clung to him and buried her face in his neck. "I'm scared Joey." She whimpered.

"It's ok I got you. You're safe."

"I don't like being in the wheel chair."

"You won't be in it forever I promise."

Joey set her in her seat and buckled her in again. Everyone else got in and drove back to the camp. Things were going to get a lot harder.

A couple days went by and Mary had gotten used to getting around in her wheel chair when needed…but most of time Joey carried her around which neither of them minded. While everyone was in class Dominique went into the kitchen.

"What are we having for lunch?"

"Soup and sandwiches why?" Connie asked.

"My little pretties want peanut butter and jelly so I demand you make one for them. If not I'll have you fired."

"Peanut butter and jelly is always offered as one of the choices all you had to do was ask, no need to be rude."

"Good." Dominique walked away. Connie shook her head. "As long as Mitchie doesn't touch the peanut butter we will be fine."

"Why?" a friend working with her asked.

"Mitchie highly allergic to any kind of nuts but especially peanut butter. She stops breathing and it's just….it's not nice."

"Poor girl."

"She doesn't mind. She hasn't had any cases since she was three."

"Good to hear."

Later on everyone had grabbed their meal and sat down at the table. Mitchie took a bite of her BLT as she swallowed she made a face, why did she taste peanut butter?

She lifted to top piece of bread off and saw only the BLT.

"Everything ok?" Shane asked.

"I don't know."

She lifted the BLT off her bread and gasped underneath all the toppings was peanut butter. Her eyes went wide.

"Is that peanut butter?" Mary asked.

"On a BLT?' Joey asked.

"No, Joey Mary is highly allergic to nuts, she has been since she was a kid." Shane said. He turned to Mitchie.

"Baby look at me."

Mitchie looked at Shane, her eyes wide in fear. Her face bright red.

"Shane I can't breathe." Mitchie whimpered.

"Shhh, shh just try and take deep breaths." Shane soothed rubbing her back.

"Get my mom."

Mary wheeled away from the table and into the kitchen. Connie came running out and over to Mitchie.

"Baby look at me." She said.

Mitchie looked at her mom her, eyes wide in fear.

"Mommy I can't breathe."

"Shhh baby I know. Just hang in there." Connie looked to Shane. "Grab her and follow me, we need to get her to the hospital."

Everyone rushed back to the van and to the hospital. Shane ran in carrying a panting and sweating Mitchie.

"HELP! MY GIRLFRINED NEEDS HELP!"

"What happen?" a nurse asked.

"She's allergic to nuts and there was peanut butter on her bread."

"All right is there any family to come back with her?"

"I'm her mother." Connie said.

Shane set Mitchie down on the gurney.

"Mom….my" Mitchie choked out.

"I'm here baby hang in there." Connie said.

They rushed into back.

"You think Steve did this?" Joey asked.

"No one else knew she was allergic to nuts." Shane sighed.

"This is crazy, they went from just being embarrassing to threatening Mitchie and Mary's life. I mean they nearly killed Mary by knocking her off the stage and now this, we need to talk to Brown before someone ends up dead." Nate said.

"Wow that was blunt." Caitlyn said.

"It's the truth. Mitchie is in there barely breathing. She could die Caitlyn and it's all Steve's fault." Shane said.

"She's going to make it Shane. She's strong." Mary said.

Shane just sighed. He knew even if Mitchie did live there would be a bad outcome. This was not going to end well.
