A New Beginning Chapter 7
The plane ride was short, but that's probably because we fell asleep. When we got back to the Atlanta airport, we went out to find my mom. I turned my phone on to call her and immediately got a text message:
"Mitch, I know you're on the plane already, but I just want to tell you that I love you and I miss you. I'll call you later. Shane xoxo."
I grinned and Cait rolled her eyes "Tell lover boy I said hi." She said. I quickly texted him back and called my mom.
"Hey mom. We're back."
"Okay. I'm at baggage claim."
"Okay. See you soon."
Cait and I headed over to baggage claim to get our bags. I immediately spotted my bags coming out. I went to grab them but a nice man grabbed them for me. "He looks like Shane." I whispered to Cait.
"I know. And the curly haired one kinda looks like Nate."
"Are these yours 'Mam"
"Yes. Thank you."
"No problem, Miss."
We both took our bags out to my mom's car. The Shane/Nate lookalikes helped us load up the car. We politely thanked them and set off for home. Suddenly my phone vibrated. "One new text Message: Popstar." It said. I opened it. "Tell her I said hi too. I miss you. I wish I could see you. I have a surprise for you…but you'll have to wait until tomorrow :D Shane xoxo"
"Shane says hi." I told Caitlyn. She laughed at him and started texting on her phone, most likely Nate. Soon we were home and unloaded the bags.
"Do you want to have a girls Night tonight?" Cait asked me.
"Shouldn't you go see your aunt though? Just so she knows that you got back safely?"
"Mitch, I live right next door to you. It won't take long to just say hi."
"I know. Fine, but we can't stay up all night. We have school tomorrow."
"Ugh. School. Yay."
"Don't get too excited now."
"Sorry. I'll be over soon."
I walked in the house and headed upstairs to my room. Cait quickly came over. We talked about anything and everything, including Jason's love life.
"You know we should really get Jason a girlfriend."
"I know. I always feel bad for him when we go off and have 'Couple Time'."
Soon we fell asleep, thinking of anything but school the next day.
When we woke up it was 10 A.M. "Mom!" I called, while running downstairs.
"What, Mitchie? What happened?"
"We have school today, remember?"
"Yes. I thought you two would want a break after this weekend."
"Oh, okay. Can I get some food then?"
"NO! I mean, I'll bring some up to you. Go back upstairs."
I gave her a questioning look but I went back upstairs anyway. I walked in to see Caitlyn jamming out to who will I be? I laughed at her and climbed back into bed.
"Mitch? What are you doing?"
"Mom said we didn't have to go to school today."
"I wonder why?"
"She said something about giving us a day to rest, she also said something about bringing some breakfast up."
"Okay. I'm gonna get some more sleep then."
"Good idea."
We both climbed back into bed and fell asleep.
What seemed like not even 5 minutes later, my mom was waking us up for breakfast. When we opened our eyes, we saw the guys standing there holding our breakfasts. Shane walked over to me. When he reached me I let him safely set my food down, then I attacked him in a hug.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, I kind of convinced the record label to let us move you out to LA."
"WHAT?" I said as I broke away from him and ran downstairs. I ran outside hearing Shane following me. I heard my mom stop him. I walked across the street to sierras house and knocked on the door.
"Hey Mitchie," Sierra said. "What's wrong?"
"I need to talk to you."
"Okay, let's go." I followed her up to her room and we sat in her chairs.
"Okay, now tell me what's wrong?"
"I might be moving. The record label wants us to move out to L.A."
"What? Why?"
"I don't know. At the meeting Friday they were fine with me recording in Nashville."
"Do you think Shane had anything to do with it?"
"Probably. He is a needy popstar."
"Go talk to him. He's probably worried. Maybe he thought you would like it better that way."
"Did he ever think to ask me first?"
"No. He wanted to surprise you."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't. But I do know how much he cares about you."
"Fine, I'll talk to him. Text you about it?"
"Of course. Bye."
"Bye."
I walked back across the street and straight up to my room. I knew Shane would follow. He slowly walked up the stairs and into my room.
"I'm sorry." He said as soon as he walked in. "I just thought you would like this better. That way you would be able to work with the best people in the business."
"I appreciate what you did, but did you ever think to ask me if I wanted to?"
"No. I thought you would be fine with it. I mean, we could be together every day."
"I just don't want to leave Sierra by herself. I'm her only friend she has."
"Why don't you ask her to come with?"
"I can't just ask her to pack up and leave. Besides, she's not a singer. She likes languages better."
Just then, I got a text message. "Mitch, I need to tell you something ASAP. Come over. - Sierra "
"Shane, I'll be right back. Sierra needs to tell me something."
I ran into sierras room as quickly as possible. When I walked in she was bouncing around, without even noticing me. "Sierra!" I yelled to get her attention.
"Oh, Mitch! Guess what? Guess what? Guess what?"
"What? What? What?"
"I'm got accepted into the Chinese Exchange Program! Ahh!"
"Sierra! I'm so happy for you!"
"See? You don't need to worry about leaving me behind now."
"I guess. I don't know though. I mean, I lived here my whole life."
"Mitch, go. You've been waiting for this opportunity your whole life."
"Fine. I'll have to come visit you though."
"Okay. And when you start going on tours and such don't forget about your best friend in China."
"I never will."
We shared a hug and we both went back to my house to share the good news. Everyone was really excited for her.
"I told you it would work out."
"Fine. You were right."
"Of course. I always am."
Shane came up behind me.
"Hey Cait. Mind if I steal her for a bit?"
"Fine by me."
"Hey! What if I don't wanna go with the popstar?"
"Too bad."
He took me out to the backyard to the little creek we had.
"Hey, I'm sorry. I should have asked you if you wanted to move first."
"It's okay. I'm not going to leave Sierra by herself now."
"So, you're coming?"
"Yes Popstar."
"Yay!"
"Come on. We need to get back."
We slowly walked back while talking about California.
"Hey, there she is."
"Oh no. What now?"
"They kind of want you to sing a song."
"Ugh. Do I have to?"
"Please?"
"Fine. But I don't know what to sing."
"How about that one you wrote this weekend?"
"Catch me?"
"Yeah."
"Sure."
We walked into the living room and Caitlyn told them I was going to sing a song.
I took a deep breath and started.
Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick
But make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say good bye
Keep it sweet
Keep it slow
Let the future pass
And don't let go
But tonight I could fall to soon under this beautiful moonlight
But you're so hypnotizing
You got me laughing while I sing
You got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
And your love is where imp falling
But please don't catch me
See this heart
Wont settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you'll do
my stomach screams just when I look at you
Run far away
So I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
I can't set my hopes to high
Cause every hello ends with a goodbye
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling
But please don't catch me
So now you see
Why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without a care
But here I go
Its what I feel
and for the first time in my life I know it's real
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've get me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
And your love is where imp falling
So please don't catch me
And if this is love
Please don't break me
I'm giving up
So just catch me
Everyone applauded and then asked me about it. Someone asked me about our duet. We decided to sing it for them. Everyone loved it.
"Is that one going to be on the CD?"
"No. I don't think so."
Once everyone started leaving, all the teenagers went up to my room to start packing.
"Hey sierra, when are you leaving?"
"Next week. Why?"
"Did you want to help us move in?"
"Really? I would love to!"
"And then you can leave from LA to China."
"This is gonna be awesome."
Sierra soon left to start packing. Nate and Caitlyn left to attempt to start packing. I was stuck with Shane. Not that I minded. After most of my stuff was packed I went downstairs to ask my mom where Shane was staying.
"Hey, Mom. Where do you want Shane to stay?"
"He can stay with you if you want. I trust you."
"Really? Thanks Mom."
Shane and I fell asleep with smiles on our faces. I was comfortable with his arms wrapped around me and him whispering in my ear.
Thanks for reading. :)
