I could easily just leave. Before I even talk to the host, I could just leave and no one would have any idea where I had gone. It's what I'm tempted to do. I feel so stupid for even coming here in the first place… what was I thinking?

I've tried everything! There's nothing I can do to make myself feel better. Sometimes I get scared thinking that I might feel this way forever. But there's nothing I can do; I don't know any way to prevent this feeling and mom says counseling is only for crazy people.

Shock runs through my weak veins when I see something I thought I'd never see again. Maybe it's only her back but I would recognize that silky, blond hair any place. Because it's the hair I watched walk away from me and break my heart one painful piece at a time.

In that moment, I completely disregard anything about everything. I ignore that I'm on in fifteen minutes. I forget about the dishonesty. I discount my former girlfriend.

There something behind me, I know it. Of course there's something behind me but a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach tells me it's something important. I turn slowly; somewhat scared to see what it is and see the eyes that I haven't stopped thinking about since the moment I stepped off the grounds of Camp Rock.

I check to see if my mother has noticed any of this. She's far too busy. I walk towards his presence, unsure of what I'm supposed to say. I can see in his eyes that he's just as confused as I am.

"Shane?"

I can't believe what I'm seeing. My mind has convinced me that I'm seeing things but my spirit is telling me that the girl of my dreams is standing four inches away from me. I feel like an idiot, not saying anything-just staring into her striking dark blue eyes.

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

I lightly grip her hand and guide her somewhere private. She has a guilty look on her face.

"I'm sorry I broke you and Mitchie up."

"Don't be. That was my entire fault. I knew better."

His words are charming. I forget about the people we both are and think about what's happening right now.

"Tess, I have something to tell you."

I prepare myself for the words I've wanted to say to this girl for as long as I remember. My body freezes for moment just before I utter the troubling words.

"You're all I think about. Everything about you amazes me and I just want to be around you all the time. Maybe I lost my job, and I completely screwed everything up but whenever I think about you, all is well again. My eyes never left you whenever we were in the same room back at camp, even if I was sitting next to Mitchie. Being with you is the only thing I really wanted, and that's why I went to you every night."

I can't bear to believe his declaration. My face tenses up and tears pour from my eyes like a rain storm. Never shall I know what I'm supposed to feel like towards him, yet I can't help but wonder if the feelings I have are wrong.

"I love you, Tess Tyler."

A smile cracks from my quivering lips.

"I love you, too."

I do exactly what I wanted to do from the moment I arrived at this studio and leave. But with Tess' warm hand in mine. It doesn't matter that no one will know where Tess or myself are, what matter is that finally, for the first time in such a long time; I know where I am. I'm with Tess.

Before we leave, he pulls me over to a hidden corner. Then he kisses me, just like I wanted him too. It's nothing like the first time he kissed me; it's nothing like the last time he kissed me. It's like right now, and it's still perfect.

A/N: Sorry about that… I know the sequel and threequel were a little sloppy and rushed but I tried my best. Please tell me in a review if you prefer the happy ending (reading all the way through) or the tragic ending (stopping at the first chapter). Personally, I prefer the tragic one, but that's just me.
