A New Beginning Chapter 6

Soon enough it was time to leave for the airport. Even though they had a private jet we had to get up early because the airport was two hours away. Caitlyn and I were really excited. We couldn't stay still. My mom made us calm down enough to eat breakfast. Currently I was up in my room packing. "Don't forget we have our date tonight." I heard from behind me. I turned around and grinned at Shane. "What should I bring then?" Whatever you want to. You'll look beautiful anyway. Anyway, I came up to tell you that were leaving soon."

"Okay pop star. Is Caitlyn downstairs?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I need to talk to her. Can you tell her to come up here?"

"Fine."

Caitlin came running up the stairs into my room. "Whatcha need?" she asked.

"I need something to wear tonight."

"Fine. I'll find something while you finish packing."

Soon I was done and Caitlyn had found my favorite pair of skinny jeans and a purple shirt.

"I love those jeans."

"I know."

I put it on top of my clothes and sipped my suitcase shut. Surprisingly, my suitcase was kind of heavy but before I could start trying to pick it up someone pushed my hands out of the way. "I'll get it." Shane said. He followed me downstairs and took my bag out to the car. My mom was coming with but she was only staying so she could sign the contracts to record. She was going to leave Monday as soon as our meeting was over. "Bye dad." I said. "Bye, Mitchie. Don't get in too much trouble." We gave him a hug and headed out to the car. It was a long drive to the airport. I fell asleep on Shane's shoulder at one point. The Atlanta airport was really confusing. Luckily we got there early enough so we had time to find our gate. This was my first time on an airplane so I was kind of nervous. Luckily I had Shane with me so it wasn't as bad. Soon I relaxed and fell asleep. Before I knew it we were in California. It was better than I thought. It was so warm and sunny outside. The boys called the limo while we got some food. "Are you excited?" Caitlyn asked me.

"For what? Recording or my date?"

"Both."

"Yes. I can't wait."

"I know. Shane's jaw is gonna drop when he sees you."

"You really think so?"

"I know so."

"Thanks, Cait. So what about you? Are you excited about recording?"

"Yes!!! I can't wait. This could lead to my big break. First one song on Connect 3's new CD then an entire Mitchie Torres CD."

"Cait, I'm not making a CD."

"Not yet you're not. You have a beautiful voice, Mitch. They'll love it. They have to give you a record deal."

By that time the limo had arrived and they started heading outside. They climbed in and quickly arrived at their apartment. Cait and I quickly said goodbye and headed up to our room. Shane and Nate were close behind with our bags. They knew I wanted Cait to help me so we kicked them out and I started getting ready. Cait did my hair and makeup while we talked about what we were going to do tonight.

"You know you have to tell me what happened when you get back." Cait said.

"I know." I replied. When she was done I was amazed. My usually straight hair was in soft curls and my eyes were a pretty purple. I knew that this was probably going to be a more casual date, so I decided to war some jeans and a nice shirt. Anyway, Cait went downstairs to see if Shane was ready to go. She came back up and said that he would be ready in a minute. "He's going to be amazed." She said. I grinned and took a deep breath. "Are you sure I look okay?"

"Are you doubting my style expertise?"

"No. I just don't want to look bad in front of him."

"Trust me Mitch. He won't care if you do. Besides you look amazing. He won't be able to keep his hands off of you."

I smiled and started heading to the door. Before I could reach it there was a knock. "That's my cue. Talk to you later." Caitlyn said. She walked out the door and closed the door quickly. Not even a minite later, there was another knock on the door. I opened it and there stood Shane. He looked nice. He was in a grey t-shirt with his favorite leather jacket and blue jeans. "Hey mitch. You ready?"

"Yes. Let's go."

"You look Beautiful, by the way."

"Thanks. You're not so bad yourself, Popstar." He smiled at me and led me to his car and opened the door. I giggled at his chivilary and got in. he walked around and got in beside me. "You laughing at me Torres?"

"Maybe. Where are going?"

"You'll see."

I pouted and just relaxed into the seat. Before I knew it we had stopped in front of a really cute little Italian restaurant. He rushed over to my side to open my door for me again. I grinned at him and stepped out into the night air. He put his arm around me and led me inside. It was really small and the people seemed really nice. A waitress led us to our table and told us that our server would be with us shortly. "I love it here shane. Thank you."

"No Problem."

"Hello, My name is Kenny and I'll be your server tonight. What can I get you to drink?"

"We'll have two Sprites."

"Okay. I'll have that right out."

He left and Shane started talking. "When did you start singing?"

"Um… I've been doing it for forever. I don't even remember when I first sang."

"I'm the same way. Ever since I can remember I've been singing. What instruments do you play?"

"I can play the piano, and guitar. I'm trying to learn the drums, too."

"That's cool. I'm more of a guitar person."

Soon Kenny came back to take our orders. I got the fettuccine alfredo, and Shane got the prime rib. I noticed the waiter kept looking at our table and he kept asking if he could get us anything. When he asked he would just look at me. He was obviously flirting with me but I just laughed at him and continued talking to Shane. When we were done shane paid the bill and left a small tip for the waiter. We went for a walk around downtown and somehow ended up in the park under the stars. I was leaning against him and he was whispering stuff in my ear.

"We should probably start heading back. I know Cait is waiting to interrogate you as soon as we get home."

"I don't want this night to end though."

"Don't worry. I'll take you on another date soon enough."

Shane called the limo while I prepared for Cait's questions. Since she's my best friend I pretty much knew what she was going to ask. Before we knew it the limo had arrived an we were back at the apartment.

"I had fun tonight, pop star."

"Good."

By then we were at the front door.

"I'll talk to you later, 'cause we both know Cait is gonna grab me as soon as I walk in."

"Fine."

I gave him a kiss and he opened the door. As expected, Cait grabbed me a pulled me to our room.

"Okay, spill. How'd it go? What'd you do?"

"Well, it was amazing. He was so sweet all night." I recounted every last detail of the date down to when we were outside the door.

"Wow, I wonder if Nate's going to do something like that for me?"

"He probably will, with Shane as his best friend."

"Let's go back downstairs. The boys are probably bored to death without us."

We went back down and naturally the boys were sitting there doing nothing. We went to our respective boyfriends and sat on their lap. They gave out a small grunt, but they soon wrapped their arms around us.

"Sing us something, Mitch."

"Well, I don't know…"

"Don't even start, Mitch. You have an amazing voice."

"Not what I was going to say, but okay. I'm not sure which song to sing though."

"Sing that one song you sang in brown's class that one day."

"Oh, that one. Okay"

Woah
Yea, yea, yea, yea

How to choose
Who to be
Well lets see
There's so many choices now
Play guitar
Be a movie star
In my head a voice says

Why not
Try everything
Why stop
Reach for any dream
I can rock
Cause it's my life
And now's the time

Who will I be
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be
Yes I believe
I get to make the future what I want to be
If I can make up any one and know the choice is up to me
Who will I be
Yea yea

If I decide
I'm the girl to change the world
I can do it anytime
Opportunity right in front of me
And the choices are mine

Why not
Try everything
Why stop
Reach for any dream
I can rock
Cause it's my life
And now's the time

Who will I be
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be
Yes I believe
I get to make the future what I want to be
If I can make up any one and know the choice is up to me
Who will I be

I want to find the who I am inside
Who will I be
I want to show the way
The way that I can shine
Yea (Who will I be)
oh yea, yea

Who will I be
It's up to me
All the never ending possibilities
That I can see
There's nothing that I can't do
Who will I be (Who will I be)
Yes I believe
I get to make the future what I want to be
If I can make up any one and know the choice is up to me
Who will I be
Woah
Who will I be
Who will I be

"That was great, Mitch"

"Thanks." I said while blushing.

For the rest of the night we watched movies. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep against Shane. When I woke up I was in my bed. It was around 2:30 and I couldn't get back to sleep. I quietly got up and went into shane's room. He was sleeping peacefully. Right when I was about to turn around and leave, I heard him say my name.

"Mitch? Are you alright?"

"Can't sleep."

He opened his arms to me and I went right into them. I snuggled right into him and fell asleep almost instantly.

The next morning I was up before Shane. It was probably because I was so excited that we were recording today. Deciding to be nice and to try to calm down some, I chose to help my mom cook everyone breakfast. While cooking she decided to ask me how my date went. I told her all about it and by the time I was done breakfast was almost ready.

"Why don't you go wake everybody up, honey?"

"Okay mom."

Naturally I started with Shane, because the pop stars always take the longest to get ready. I also knew he would be the hardest to get up. Immediately I jumped on the bed to try that. It didn't work. I kissed him and he immediately kissed back.

"Okay, pop star. Up if you want food."

"Fine."

I went into Caitlyn's room next, which was technically our room, to get her up. She wakes up pretty easily.

"Go get your boyfriend up."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Because I need to get dressed so I can look good for Shane."

"I don't really think he cares what you look like Mitch."

I stuck my tongue out at her and kicked her out. I got dressed and headed back downstairs. Shane still was not back. As soon as I got there he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You excited?"

"YES! I can't wait."

"You're going to blow them away."

I grinned at him and we went to the table to start eating. I could not sit still. Finally we left to go to the recording studio. We went over the contracts and my mom signed mine. Caitlyn's would have to be sent to the Nashville branch so we could record there. After we signed the contracts , We all went to record after I said goodbye to my mom. It just came naturally to us. We tried it at different speeds and with different styles. It turns out they liked the original version the best. "Now, you will most likely be recording in Nashville." Roger said. "Okay." I replied. Soon it was time to go. No matter how much we did not want to go, we knew we had to get back for school tomorrow. We left for the airport but none of us exchanged any words. When we got there none of us wanted to say goodbye. Caitlyn and I said goodbye to the other boys before going to Nate and Shane. Those were the hardest.

"I'm gonna miss you"

"I know. But hopefully you'll see me soon."

We kissed and I got on the plane with Caitlyn. We had tears running down our faces but we didn't care we had eachother to lean on. As the plane took off we watched as the city disappeared behind us.
