After we finished celebrating, and let out all the silliness we had, she walked with me until we got to the class where I should be assisting the counselor, we went in, everybody knew Caitlyn but I was new, so I felt a bit nervous.
Caitlyn:' hey everybody! This is my bestfriend mithcie!'
Everyone:' hey mitchie!' I laughed and waved with my hand welcoming them.
Me:' hey guys, I am mithcie, I work here as an assistant, or anything else actually!' they laughed which made me relax a bit more.
Me:' I love music so I guess we won't disagree or anything.. so.. I guess that's all!'
One of the boys:' so you don't have any hidden talent?'
Me:' well.. I don't know..' I was interrupted by Caitlyn!
Caitlyn:' she has THE best singing voice ever! And she also writes her own songs! She is a diva I tell you!' I smiled awkwardly
Me:' no Caitlyn is exaggerating as usual!'
Someone from the background:' then why don't you let us decide?' I took a good look and was surprised when I saw who it was! It was shane gray! Ofcourse I almost passed out, but I smiled.
Me:' no no.. I am an assistant! Maybe you should sing mr. shane!'
Shane:' I will.. but only if you sing along!'
Me:' I don't think that's a very good idea..'
Caitlyn:' it is a great idea! Come on mitchie!'
I looked at her begging her to shut up but if I knew Caitlyn she would never shut up!
Shane:' if you guys want me to sing, you have to convince miss mitchie over here to sing with me!' so everybody kept asking me to sing, and yelling all at once, I was so nervous, but I saw shane walking towards me with a magical smile on his face, I was melting into his gaze, then he stood next to me, flashed a perfect smile, and he switched the radio on, and I found 'take my heart back' by Jennifer love Hewitt playing, I loved that song but it always made me cry!
Shane:' sing with me..' I nodded in refuse but he started singing staring into my eyes.
Shane:' it'll be alright.. you said… tomorrow..' then he signaled to me to sing but I already had tears in my eyes.
Shane:' don't you cry… don't you shed a tear..'
Me:' when you wake up.. I'll still be here.. when you wake up.. we'll battle all your fears..'
Shane:' and now I'll take my heart back.. leave your pictures on the floor.. steal back my memories.. I can't take it anymore!'
Me:' I've cried my eyes out.. and now I face the years.. the way you loved me.. vanished all the tears..'
Shane:' just a little time was all we needed..'
Then I started crying, really crying, so Caitlyn ran towards me and hugged me, and shane switched off the radio, all the other students left gradually and Caitlyn and shane stayed with me.
A while later when I finally started calming down, and pulled back from caitlyn's arms, shane was staring at me and said 'I am really sorry..'
Me:' no.. it isn't your fault.. I just get really emotional when I listen to that song..'
Shane:' why?'
I took a deep breath, and looked down.
Me:' well.. because my sister passed away a year ago.. she was 2 years younger than me.. she got.. cancer.. and she passed away.. so.. I really needed more time with her..' a few tears escaped my eyes, shane wiped them away.
Shane:' I am sorry..'
I nodded. Me:' me too..' then I looked up at him, forced a smile and said 'you have no idea how much I love you!'
Shane:' oh you are so sweet! And by the way.. you are a total diva!'
I giggled. Me:' oh you are exaggerating but thanks!'
He smiled. Shane:' you are welcome, but I am really not..' I just smiled then we walked together out of class with Caitlyn.
As we were walking to my room, a few students who were with me in the room would flash smiles at me in compassion and I would just smile back, other girls would look at me as if they were seeking revenge because of the way shane treated me, and those, I ignored.
When we got to my room, shane looked at me.
Shane:' are you sure you are okay?'
Me: 'yeah.. I am..'
Shane:' again.. I am really sorry I pushed you!'
Me:' no shane.. it's okay..' then I smiled at him.
He leaned towards me and gave me a tender kiss on the cheek, I just smiled, went into my room, waved goodbye, and closed the door. I ran to my bed and fell on my back, I was so happy! Shane was like my celebrity crush/young idol. I got my phone out and called my mum.
Mum:' mitchie! Hey!'
Me:' hey mum! Guess who I met today?'
Mum:' who?'
Me:' SHANE… GRAY!'
Mum screaming:' what? How lucky is that!'
Me:' I know, right? Well he is so sweet mum! He is kind, caring, and he is so sensitive!'
Mum:' I am glad you are happy sweetie! But take care, don't trust him too much!'
Me:' fine, mum.'
Mum:' I missed you already honey..'
Me:' I missed you too.'
Mum:' okay, go to sleep now! And be safe sweetie, I love you'
Me:' love you too mum, goodnight' and then I hung up.
I laid back, and put my head on my pillow, and then I closed my eyes with a smile on my face. That night I dreamt about my sister, Ashley, she still looked the same, but she didn't look sick, she looked healthy and happy, she looked relieved, she looked at peace.
Ashley:' mitchie, believe in yourself, listen to your heart, but don't fall too fast, take care mitchie, take care.' Then I woke up. I was a bit confused, but I remembered last night, so I smiled. I got up, brushed my teeth, and got dressed into a pink dress with a navy jacket and pink sandals, I walked out of my room and walked to caitlyn's room but I didn't find her, so I walked to the manager's office to introduce myself, I knocked and walked inside.
Me:' hello, sorry if I disturbed you, I am mitchie, I started working yesterday!'
The manager:' oh yes hi, sorry I couldn't meet you yesterday, a lot goes on in this camp!' I giggled.
Me:' no problem, I just thought I would step by and introduce myself, just to let you know I am here, and to learn more about my tasks here..'
The manager:' first off my name is brown cessario.' I smiled.
Me:' sorry! I jumped too fast!'
Mr. brown:' no problem, well you are here as an assistant, with counselors, and other employees, and for now nothing more, but if you need any help come and tell me!' I smiled.
Me:' thank you, nice to meet you mr. brown!'
Mr. brown:' nice to meet you too mitchie!' then I walked out with a smile.
I found Caitlyn running towards me with a big smile on her face!
Caitlyn:' come with me! I have a BIG surprise for you!' then she pulled me from my hand and I just walked behind her. Then I found myself infront of a big stage, with shane and his two brothers nate and Jason. I stood there in shock!
Shane:' I am shane gray and those are my brothers, nate and Jason! We are here to perform a song by a very special girl..' he looked at me.
Shane:' she has no idea how special she is! This song is written by her and it's called I'll always need you' I already had tears in my eyes because that song I wrote a few months ago about my sister Ashley, but I never showed it to anyone! But I knew it was Caitlyn, it always is!
