Mitchie stayed out of the cabin for a few hours, giving Riley time to cool off. She was confused to see Riley's bags packed when she went back.
"What's all of this?" she asked.
"I'm done Mitchie."
"What do you mean by done?"
"I mean I am done with Camp Rock and I am done with music."
"Riley you can't quit."
"It's too late. Brown is already setting up a press conference for tomorrow. That way I'll get to do this the right way."
"Riley you can't."
"I am Mitchie."
Riley threw down another one of her suitcases on her bed and continued throwing clothes into it.
Mitchie picked up her phone and called Nate.
Nate was getting his bags packed when his phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Nate you are going to have to move faster. Riley is quitting."
"What do you mean quitting?"
"Brown is setting up a press conference for tomorrow morning where Riley is going to announce her retirement in music. You need to get here before the press conference and you need to get Jason to come with you."
"Jason?"
"Yes. Riley won't listen to anyone but I'm sure she'll listen to Jason."
"Ok, we'll be there as soon as we can."
Jason was lounging outside in the pool when Nate came running outside.
"Jason get out. We need to go back to Camp Rock."
"No way dude. I am staying right here."
"Jason Riley is going to quit the music industry."
"What?" Jason asked, his body slipping off of the float.
"She and Shane got into a huge fight and Mitchie told me Riley is done. Brown is already making phone calls and setting up a press conference where Riley is announcing her retirement. Jason you are the only person she will listen to right now. I know you still care about her and I know you don't want her to go through with this. Don't let our friend do this."
Jason stood in the pool for a moment.
"You're right, I won't let her go through with this." he pushed himself out of the pool. "Get the first flight out while I get ready."
"Yes," Nate said as he dialed Mitchie.
"Mitchie? We got him."
"Yes!" Mitchie yelled.
Everyone in the dining hall turned to look at her.
"Um, I wasn't getting any bars and now I have four so..."
People continued eating.
"Ok what was that for?" Caitlyn asked.
"Nate and Jason are coming."
"You think they'll be able to talk Riley out of making the dumbest mistake of her life?" Lola asked.
"I hope so."
"Well she and Jason have a history together so I'm sure she'll listen to him," Ella said.
"Hopefully."
"You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you
I gotta find you," Shane sang as he tossed a hacky sack ball up and down.
His room door flung open and Brown stormed in.
"Get up right now," Brown ordered.
"Whoa, what's up with the attitude?"
"Shane how dare you hurt Riley the way you did?"
"Uncle Brown..." Shane started but Brown cut him off.
"Do you know what is happening tomorrow morning at 8 AM?" Shane shook his head. "Riley Torma is announcing her retirement from the music industry on live TV."
"Come on Brown, she's not going to do that."
"News crews are already lining up outside to get the best seats. You sir are one major screw up and an arse. Riley loves you so much; look at what she's willing to give up for you. I'm ashamed to call you my nephew and I mean it."
Brown turned on his heel and left the cabin.
"Oh god," Shane said to himself. "What have I done?"
He wanted to go talk to Riley but he knew she wouldn't listen to him. Why had he done that? He was so close to finally having her the way he's always wanted but he freaked. He really did love Riley and he wanted to be with her more than anything but he was scared. Now Riley hated him and was throwing away her dream and it was all on him.
This chapter kind of just informed everyone about what Riley was planning on doing. The next chapter will be the actual press conference.
Some questions are repeated, I just want to make sure you guys are still for what you chose.
