Mitchie's Pov

"Bye Mitch." Shane said in the last few seconds we had together. "I'll miss you".

I let him kiss me one more time before I left. I felt the passion, but I knew I had to leave.

"Bye Shane, email me, okay? When I get home tonight, I'll be expecting an email. Anything you can think to type is fine, even if it's stupid and written at one in the morning."

"I promise, I will, I'm not going to lose you now."

He stared into my eyes as I said "I love you." I felt like no one else mattered. I felt like I was being torn up inside, I'd be here for only seconds more.

"I love you so much that as much as I'd like you here, you should be up there."

"I guess you're right, so I'll see you whenever I see you." I tried to keep control of the tears that wanted to fall.

Shane gave me a look that said 'it's okay, just go', I wanted more than anything to have Shane by my side.

"Bye" I said quietly before slowly walking away. It felt so wrong to be without him. I fell in love with him; I didn't want to split apart.

"There she goes, now I'm alone." I heard a voice behind me say. Knowing Shane felt that way about me was almost too much for me to handle.

"Mitchie, you ready to go?" My mother asks me. I didn't want to go home, I had no choice though, so I had to do what I didn't want to do, I was as ready as I could be.

"I guess so, we have everything." I wanted to blurt out everything between me and Shane. But I don't think that would have been the best idea. It just wouldn't be right. Because I didn't feel like breaking down.

"Let's go then, we're supposed to be home by dinnertime." My mother said, climbing into the van, I did the same. I didn't want my time at Camp Rock to go by this fast, but it couldn't last forever. I had to get over all of this eventually. I wasn't getting anywhere in my head cluttered with thoughts of everything.

I was waiting to get home, even if the hours drag on and on. I wouldn't be here if it was up to Shane and me. I'd be by his side forever. Just like a never-ending crush, I want to stay by his side forever. Because he's my never-ending crush.

The words "Done! So what to I do?" start echoing through my head.

Recalling that he said those words right after I offered to kiss him, I smiled inside. I didn't think it was possible for someone to like me that much.

But I was staring out the window, watching people walking down the street. Don't they have a better place than on the side of the interstate?

I pulled out a magazine from my bag, yes a magazine with Shane Gray on it. He did look hot I have to admit, I could have stared at him forever. But my mother wouldn't appreciate me staring at a boy all day; especially one that I was secretly dating.

Saying a real goodbye was one of the hardest things I had to do. Other than finding out that the most beautiful song in the world was written about me. I never would have guessed that I was the girl. That was hard because I was on stage when I found out, people were watching me. I never would have guessed that Shane and I would have stayed together; it all seemed to fit though. It was a surprise and I loved it.

I don't know why I changed so much on the canoe ride last night; I had my first kiss last night.

"Mitchie, are you all right?" My mother asked while trying to focus her attention on me and where she was driving.

"Why wouldn't I be? What is there for me to be upset about?"

"I don't know, but I do know what it's like to be a sixteen year old girl."

I couldn't tell her that my secret was I was dating an 18 year old rockstar. I mean she saw him on Hot Tunes being a jerk.

"But being a 16 year old girl means you have a lot on your mind. I don't even know what I'm trying to sort out." I said, and that was the truth, thank goodness I didn't have to lie again. But I didn't feel any better.

Honestly what are the chances of her asking what happened this morning? But she asked just that, even if I mentally begged her not to.

I thought about what to say. "Well I helped pack early in the morning, I cooked breakfast for the camp. I hung out by the lake. What else do you need to know...? Wait I said goodbye to my best friend." I tried to make it sound like she was getting the whole truth. But inside I felt like jumping out of the car, but obviously it would be awkward. I also felt that we were getting nowhere.

I wanted to be saved from this conversation, I didn't care how.

"Okay, that's enough for right now. We'll discuss it later." She was responding calmly, which surprised me. But she didn't know that this was about more than me.
