Chapter 2: Goodbyes

I guess my face did say it all. I mean she only glances at my face for about a millisecond and had already de-coded exactly what had happened, but was it seriously that obvious.

"Okay I saw you guys, on my way over here this morning" She admitted. "By the way you do realize your soaking wet?"

I looked down out my clothes and let out a laugh. "I guess I just forgot."

"I guess I just forgot" she mimicked me "who or what could happen that can make you forget you're sopping wet, wait I can answer that question myself and again the answer Shane Grey."

"Do you want me to tell you what happened or not" I said trying to sound threatening. My lame threat must have worked because Caitlin was silent. I recapped everything that had happened earlier that morning. She listened rather intently and ooh and awed at the right times.

By the time I'd finished, we had moved on to having a pancake flipping contest. We only dropped five in total, and then one was flipped so high it got stuck to the ceiling; but it then promptly fell on top of Caitlin's head. I couldn't help but burst out laughing at this, so she responded by flinging pancake batter at me. We eventually ended the pancake war and finished cooking what was left of the pancake batter, and we were headed out the door. I looked down at myself I was now sopping wet and covered from head to toe in pancake batter, How attractive.

We stopped by our cabins, before heading over to the mess hall. With a quick shower and a change of clothes, my top was now green, which just so happened to be Shane's favorite color. I walked out of my shower stall, and joined Caitlin by the mirror.

"Green" she said as she glanced over at me.

"So"

"That's his favorite color."

I shrugged "And it just so happens I like it too."

Twenty Minutes later we were ready to go find the guys. It was a little after nine now and the camp was finally buzzing with movement. I saw familiar faces as we headed towards the mess hall, but not the face I was looking for. We were headed into the mess hall; when we spotted the guys at the table near by a window. All I can think as we walk over there is just breathe Mitchie it's just another breakfast…okay who was I kidding it was breakfast with Connect 3.

When what seemed to take hours, only took about 5 seconds, we had arrived at the table. Shane stood and hugged me. I noticed his change of clothes and that his hair was straight again. Even though I noticed these things, they were completely pushed out of my mind as soon as his arms we wrapped around me. I sat down next to Shane and things started moving smoothly. So it was like any other normal breakfast, just this normal breakfast involved a famous band known as Connect 3. Well more like Connect Two, I just realized Jason was missing.

"Where's Jason" I asked Shane.

"He left a while ago, said something about a birdhouse" He shrugged.

I giggled good old Jason. So I only met him less than 24 hours ago, but I still felt like I'd known him all my life. I reached for a slice of toast, when I noticed Caitlin and Nate sitting rather close together, they appeared to be in an intense conversation. After a while I noticed Nate lean in and whisper something in Caitlin's ear. From the looks of it Nate had asked Caitlin something and she nodded in agreement. They immediately stood up and headed for the exit. He opened the door for her and who said chivalry was dead.

The next time I saw them they had their hands entwined with each other. They were laughing and smiling. Caitlin's smile reminding me of the one I had on my face earlier expect hers was bigger and brighter, I figured this could only mean one thing Nate had asked her out. I couldn't help, but be a little jealous I mean I've held hands with Shane, but we still weren't officially going out.

After breakfast, we decided to take a walk along the beach. Caitlin and Nate still hand in hand, okay I was a lot jealous, how hard would it be for Shane to ask will you go out with me, I mean what is he waiting for. All of a sudden Shane and Nate decided to race each other down the beach and back. There was no winner, because well there was a lot of cheating going on. Shane pushed Nate into the water, Nate hopped on Shane's back, and I don't think they ever made it half way mark. All Caitlin and I could do was laugh at their "brotherly love".

"I won" declared Shane as they walked back to us.

"No you didn't you cheated" Retorted Nate.

"And you didn't" Shane fired back.

Out of now where Jason interrupted them, with a demented looking pile of wood in his hand.

"Jason, what is that" Nate asked.

"It's my bird house, it's not finished yet though I was thinking on our way back to the apartment, we could finish it like a team building thing, or would it be called a band building thing?"

"Not going to happen" Nate and Shane said at the same time.

"Hey, it's getting late we need to go finish packing" said Caitlin. She gave Nate a quick hug and began dragging me off.

"Meet you guys in front of the stage later?" I shouted as Caitlin pulled me away.

"Okay clearly this isn't about packing, so what's up?" I said as I was dumping clothes into my bag, but I figured I might as well start packing while we were here.

"Well since you told me about you little meeting earlier today, I could tell you about Nate's and mine."

"What's there to tell me, he asked you out and you said yes." Wow I sounded like a Know-It-All.

"Its creepy how you know that."

"Not creepy, just obvious."

"It's still creepy, hey I need to go finishing packing, I'll catch up with you later" Caitlin replied as she headed out the cabin.

"Bye" I looked up and she was already gone.

I sighed, as I glanced over at my clock, it was 12 O'clock; we would be leaving in 2 hours. I threw my toiletries into my duffel. I tried to take my mind off of the whole leaving in 2 hours thing, but when you're packing everything up its sort of hard to forget. I glanced over at my clock it read 12:36. I looked out the window to try and soak up as much of Camp rock as possible, when I saw my mother walking up the steps, to our cabin.

"Mitchie, are you almost down we'll be leaving in an half an hour and I wanted to pack everything in to the truck."

"Wait I thought we were leaving a 2?"

"Well we need to beat traffic and it's a long ride back."

I sped up the pace of my packing, I actually just ended up throwing everything into my bag, and ran out the front door, I was running out of time, and I needed to find Shane there was still so that needed to be taken care of. I bumped into Caitlin on my way over to the lake.

"Hey… can you…tell… everyone… to meet… at the… parking lot instead." I said as a caught my breath.

"Sure, but why?" Caitlin asked.

"I'm leaving in like 15 minutes." Before she could answer I was off and running again. I really didn't know why, but I just had to get to the lake. I got to the lake and there he was sitting on our canoe like he knew I was coming. He heard my panting and looked up.

"Hey Mitchie" He smiled.

"Did you know I was coming?"

"No, but I had a hunch" He shrugged.

We sat in silence for a couple minutes just listening to all nature had to offer. I looked over at him; it looked like he was thinking hard about something. He nodded after a minute and said.

"Mitchie, I just want to ask you one last thing, is there anything else you lied about?"

I had to think back, was there anything I might have forgotten to mention or clarify.

"Well, the first time you met me was actually in the kitchen, I was the one with the flour of my face." I wasn't sure this was a lie, but I just thought he would like to know.

He laughed. "I actually don't find that hard to believe now."

"But if you were wearing that flour now then I definitely wouldn't even think of doing this." He teased

"Are you saying it was a turn off?"

He didn't answer he just leaned in and gave me the best first kiss of my life. We pulled apart, and he just held me in his arms. He still made my skin burn where he touched it, but it was an amazing feeling. I looked up and smiled at him. With the giant grin on my face I could probably light up a room.

"We should get going." Shane said.

We headed for the parking lot hand in hand, and for the millionth time today I had a giant smile on my face, and I was hoping everything could just stay this perfect, but you see it couldn't because no matter how perfect this moment was , I would still be leaving today and the was a total killjoy. The parking lot came into view along with Connie's Catering truck and accompanied with all my friends.

I walked over to Caitlin first. I pulled into a big cuddly bear hug. "Caitlin I'm going to miss you, call me as soon as your settled into you're new house." Caitlin's family was moving again apparently they moved a lot, she wouldn't tell me where, but she just promised to call when she was settled.

"Good-bye Mitchie, I promise we'll see each other soon."

Jason gave me a tight squeeze and made me promise to call him when I got home and that I should come over to the apartment and help him with his birdhouse. I went over to hug Nate when he whispered in my ear. "Thanks for bringing him back Mitchie, I never thought he'd be able to love someone more than himself."

"Just make sure he doesn't lose himself again while I'm not around."

Last on my good-byes list was of course Shane. I walked over to him and he embraced me into a hug. "Thanks for helping make my summer fantastic, and you better call me when you get home, I'm speed dial number one." I laughed, how he broke into my phone I'll never know, but it just didn't matter right now. He kissed me on the forehead. "We'll see each other soon, I promise."He gently placed his lips against mine. He pulled away and let go of me and I headed for the bus when out of nowhere, Jason shouted.

"Wait one last group hug!"

He pulled us all together, that's what Jason was good for keeping us all whole, and no matter what crazy thing he has us doing, it somehow brings us all together. This all felt just so right, everyone here together, but then it was over. I was in the truck, and waving goodbye until Camp Rock and everyone was out of sight.

"So did you have a good summer?" My mom asked.

"Probably the best one yet." I answered, as I looked out the window, with another grin on my face.

We didn't talk much on the way back. So I just kept replaying the today and the final jam over in my head again and again. Everything was easier during the summer, but it was time to go home, back to the world of high school drama. This summer definitely had a bittersweet ending to it

Authors Note: I'm really unsure about this chapter, parts of it I think are good, but then there are other parts of it that just feel like pointless filler. Thanks to Brianna, I now dub her my beta, even if she has no idea what it means. So have any Suggestions for what should happen in the story I have a rough idea of what should happen, but I love suggestions. Review my lovelies Review.
