Chapter 2

I just got home from camp and was talking to Sierra who was an obsessed Connect Three fan. Shane and I decided not to go public with our relationship so telling Sierra, as much as I wanted to, was immediately crossed of my things to do list.

"So I heard Shane Gray was at camp... Did you meet him?" Sierra asked excitedly.
"Um yeah but only because he taught my hip-hop class," I answered as truthfully as I could.
"Wow, I heard he was skipping classes."
"Yeah, he skipped a couple but he changed and was actually pretty cool."
"Yeah, all the gossip sites are blowing up about his attitude change, they all think it was because of a girl," Sierra sighed dreamily. I blushed and looked down knowing exactly how true. Those words really were and how I was the girl. "Do you know who the girl was?" Si asked me.
"Um no I didn't see or hear anything while I was there."
"So how was the rest of camp?" she asked. I gave her all the details like all the Tess drama and about how me and Caitlyn had become really good friends. I skipped all my Shane details and she seemed pretty content with my story, she had no reason not to be, it was all true just missing some parts.

A week later I was just sitting there contemplating the year ahead of me. I was in my senior year of high school and I had a relationship with the one and only Shane Gray that I had to keep a secret. I told my mom and she told me to tell my dad but I hadn't gotten around to that quite yet I couldn't even tell my best friend. Shane and I were in constant contact with each other, always on the phone or IM. Nate and Jason knew about our relationship just in case anything happened and because Shane is living on a tour bus with them for the remaining two weeks of tour and it is extremely hard to hide it from them due to the amount of time we spend talking to each other.

I spend all my free time catching up with Sierra while she drags me shopping to to go get food which is ok besides the shopping, how do people put up with walking through store after store of practically the same clothes?

I am just sitting here trying to write a new song because I haven't done that lately and I have nothing better to be doing right now. It's about 12 pm and I'm starting to get really hungry. I was walking downstairs when I herd the doorbell ring. I walked over to it praying silently it wasn't Sierra. I opened the door, gasped and jumped straight into Shane's arms.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, it was my automatic reaction when I saw someone, I wasn't trying to sound rude.
"Hello to you too Mitch," he laughed. I pouted and he leaned down and kissed my pout.
"What ARE you doing here?" I asked him again grinning happily.
"Um we have a concert here tonight and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to come see you."
"Naw you're so sweet," I giggled, how did I score such an awesome boyfriend? Suddenly my stomach let out a low groan and I looked at Shane as we bit burst out into laughter.
"So you hungry?" he asked when he calmed down enough to form coherent sentences. I shrugged in response and grabbed his hand, leading him into the house.
"You want some food?" I asked him pulling random things from the refrigerator.
"Um yes actually, I came here on my lunch break ooh are they peanut butter and jelly?" be asked excitedly.
"Yes, you make it seem like you have never seen one before," I laughed.
"Well we don't get good food on tour, mostly junk food or cereal if we can be bothered," he replied digging into his sandwich.
"So any reason I didn't know you were having a concert in New York tonight?" I asked him. We had been speaking heaps lately but he never mentioned it.
"Um would you believe me if I said no?" he asked.
"How about no?"
"I didn't think you would but I saved you some awesome backstage tickets for you and Sierra." I hugged him tightly and kissed him in thanks. He knew about Sierra and we both knew I had to tell her eventually so this could be the perfect time for that.
Shane passed me two tickets and backstage passes for me and Sierra. He had to go back to sound check and to do an interview and photo shoot.
I walked him out and we shared a sweet passionate kiss on my doorstep before he got into his SUV and drove off to the venue. Now, to break it to Sierra.

A few seconds after I watched Shane drive off and I shut the door, the doorbell rang again and I opened it to see an ecstatic Sierra.
"OMG Mitchie guess who is having a concert at Madison Square Garden tonight!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"Let me see, could it possibly be Connect Three?" I asked sarcastically.
"Yeah it is, shame it's sold out though, it would've been really fun." she sighed.
"Could two tickets with backstage passes cheer you up?" I asked her.
"Yeah they would but that's never gonna happen, it's sold out and as if you could get backstage passes at this short notice."
"Well how do you explain these?" I asked her showing her the tickets and passes.
"OMG!" she squealed "how did you get these? Front row seats as well? That's like impossible!" she screamed.
"Yep well I have good connections; they were dropped off just before you got here actually." I smiled at the delivery guy.
"But it's tonight! We need to get ready!" she exclaimed, pulling me away to get ready.
