The week passed so fast, and now it was time for the concert! I was so nervous! I wore a red dress with black heels and a black shawl, then I curled my hair and put make up. I was waiting backstage for shane, nate and Jason, with the song in my hand ready to show it to them. And I was looking from behind the curtain to see if the kids were here yet. Then I found shane hugging me from behind, I smiled at him, then I hugged nate and Jason!
Shane:' WOW! You look… beautiful!'
Me:' thanks shane..' then Jason whistled, I laughed.
Nate:' you look amazing mitchie!' I smiled at him.
Shane:' so what do you have in your hand?'
Me:' the song.. the one you asked me to write..'
Shane:' let me see it!'
Me:' I don't know!' shane snatched it from my hand and read it, then he handed it to Jason and nate. Mitchie was staring at me without saying anything..
Me:' you don't like it, huh?' shane was still looking at me, then he hugged me tight.
Shane:' it is… I can't even put it in words! It is so beautiful mitchie!' I smiled.
Nate:' oh my God mitchie! It is perfect!'
Me:' I am glad you liked it!' Jason hugged me too. Then I saw the kids running towards me backstage, paige hugged me and then shane, and so did the rest. Then I took them all to their seats, and I sat next to them, then shane, nate and Jason came on stage, and all the audience started screaming and cheering.
Shane:' hello guys! We are connection 3! This concert is very special for us because we dedicate it to our little friends over there..' and a spot light was on the kids.
Shane:' and the song we are singing now is written by a very special girl, mitchie, but if you want to hear it, you have to tell her to come and sing with us!' I kept nodding in refuse. But then the whole audience kept screaming my name!
Audience:' mitchie! Mitchie! Mitchie!' then I found shane leaving the stage and walking towards me, then he gave me his hand, I took it and he pulled me behind him to the stage.
Me:' I DON'T want to sing!'
Shane:' the audience wants what the audience wants!' then I was on stage next to shane. Then Jason started playing on his guiltar.
Shane:' when I see that spark in your eyes
After the fall it is my rise
When I see your bright face
It is always my saving grace' then he looked at me, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
Me:' you are so strong
You are the light in the middle of the fog
You inspire me
Hope in you I always see'
Shane:' so I'll be with you.. no matter what
Whether the sky is blue.. or grey..
By your side… I'll always stay
Don't be scared.. you are not alone
Don't feel afraid.. you will never be on your own'
Me:' beginning or end..
My love to you I'll send
You'll always give me hope
In your arms I'll always elope'
Shane:' yeah in your arms.. I'll always elope' then the whole audience started clapping and shane kissed me on the cheek, nate patted on my back and Jason winked at me. Then I looked at paige and she had teary eyes, I sent her an air kiss.
Me:' thank you all.. now paige? Can you please come with us here on stage?' she smiled, shane and I walked towards her and shane carried her to the stage, he brought two chairs, one for him and the other for paige, she sat next to him.
Shane:' now we'll sing tomorrow, and paige here will sing along.' She smiled. They sang the song and paige was a super star up there! She was amazing and she had great presence! Everybody fell in love with her. After she finished the song she looked at me and I hugged her, then we walked together back to our seat while connection 3 finished up the concert.
After the concert was over, we went backstage again. I kissed shane.
Me:' great concert guys!'
Nate:' great song mitchie!' I smiled. Then I got in the car with shane and the kids got into the tour bus and went back to the hospital. As we were walking fans would stop us and ask for shane's autograph, but then I found a little girl walking towards me and handing me a notebook.
Girl:' can you please sign here?' I looked at shane with a smile on my face, he winked at me. I bent on my knees infront of her.
Me:' what's your name sweetheart?'
Girl:' Emily..'
Me:' dear Emily, you are a beautiful girl, never give up, and always dream! Love, mitchie' then I handed her the notebook, she hugged me and I hugged back then she left. I got back into the car and shane drove us to my house. He stayed over that night. As we were falling asleep my phone rang, it was Caitlyn. When I picked up I heard screaming!
Me:' Caitlyn! Calm down! I am deaf!'
Caitlyn:' oh my God mitchie! I saw the concert! You were incredible!' I laughed.
Caitlyn:' and mitchie? There are videos of you all over youtube and it got over 1000000 hits!'
Me:' what? No way!'
Caitlyn:' I swear! I am so proud of you mitchie!'
Me:' thanks Caitlyn!' then we hung up. I was shocked.
Shane:' what is it?'
Me:' Caitlyn.. said.. there are videos of me all over youtube and.. they got over 1,000,000 hits!' shane hugged me.
Shane:' I have always believed in you!' I smiled. Then I ran and brought my laptop, then I went on youtube and searched "connection 3 concert" I found videos of my performance with them, comments on the videos like " great vocals! She should be a star!" or " she is amazing! She totally owned the night! She is also very beautiful!" I was looking at shane not believing what I was seeing, I had teary eyes, this was my wildest dream! Then I called on my mum, she came running and I showed her the videos and she was so proud. She looked at me, then she hugged me.
Mum:' your father would have been so proud..' I finally let a tear escape from my eye. When my mum pulled back she wiped it away and kissed my forehead, then she went back to her room.
I put my head on shane's shoulder and rapped my arms around him, he was playing in my hair.
Me:' you know who taught me how to sing?'
Shane:' your father?'
Me:' yeah.. he always sang to me when I was little.. he was.. is my hero!' shane kissed my forehead.
Shane:' well mitchie.. if I were him.. I would be honored to have a daughter like you..' I smiled then I closed my eyes and went to sleep, and so did shane. The next morning I woke up, and woke shane up too, then I went to change, I wore a blue shirt and a white jacket and my blue jeans, then I straightened my hair and went back downstairs. Then my phone rang.
Me:' hello?'
Caller:' hey! I hope you know who I am this time!'
Me:' tes.. what do you want?'
Tess:' I saw you last night.. at the concert.. the song wasn't so bad!'
Me:' really?'
Tess:' yeah really.. well anyways maybe we'll make a duet together someday!' I giggled but tried to hide it.
Tess:' yeah right!' that time I laughed.
Tess:' so you and shane.. are together?'
Me:' yes tess.. we are!'
Tess:' I don't understand why but whatever!'
Me:' tess!'
Tess: 'fine fine! See you later!'
Me:' bye' then I hung up. I walked to the kitchen surprised to see my mum and shane making breakfast together.
Shane:' good morning!' I laughed because he was covered in flour.
Me:' good morning chef!' he laughed and so did my mum.
Me:' you'll NEVER believe who has just called me!'
Shane:' who?'
Me:' tess!'
Shane:' what? What did she say?'
Me:' she was actually not mean! She said that the song wasn't so bad!'
Shane:' it's a miracle!' I giggled.
Me:' then she asked if we were together..' he looked up at me.
Me:' are we?'
Shane:' I can't believe you are asking! Mitchie I am already cooking with your mum!' I laughed.
Me:' yeah I thought so too, that's why I told her we were together!' he smiled. We ate breakfast then we went to his house to take nate and Jason because the three of them had an interview with david laterman. I went with him just for support.
David:' connection 3! Jason, shane and nate! You guys had a concert last night which by the way was unbelievably great! But I need to know.. who was that anonymous girl who stole the spot light?' shane smiled.
Shane:' that would be mitchie torres, my girlfriend!'
David:' WOW! Girlfriend huh?'
Shane:' yeah she is.. amazing!'
David:' I agree.. so she is the one who wrote the song you sang yesterday?'
Nate:' yes she did..'
David:' well that song was beautiful so she must be very talented! And her vocals! Where did that come from?' I laughed and so did shane.
Shane:' yeah she is really talented!'
David:' maybe she will be with us someday..'
Shane:' yeah, or today!' my mouth dropped.
David:' don't tell me she is here!'
Shane:' she is!' so shane came to me and pulled me from my hand to the stage with david, david came to me and kissed me on the cheek.
David:' don't be scared.. I don't bite!' I smiled. I sat next to shane and nate.
David:' so you are the famous mitchie torres!'
Me:' I am hardly famous but yeah.. I am..'
David:' how long have you and shane been dating?'
Me:' well.. about 2 months or so..'
David:' wait.. but when he was in camp he was with tess, am I right?' I looked at shane because I didn't know what to say.
Shane:' no.. that was.. a mistake! Mitchie is the one who stole my heart.. and she is the only one for me!' then he took my hand and kissed it so the audience said 'awww' I laughed.
David:' well that's it for today! Unless.. if miss mitchie torres would like to sing us something?'
Me:' oh no! maybe connection 3!'
Shane:' no come on mitchie!' and he pushed me to where the band was.
Me:' okay.. what would you like to hear?' I heard different suggestions, from whitney Houston to miley cyrus, but I decided to sing keep holding on by avril lavigne. I sang from my soul! That song was really special to me! My voice cracked at the end of the song, but I kept going, when I was done I fell to the ground crying, then shane ran towards me and helped me stand, he pulled me into a tight hug.
Shane:' are you okay?'
Me:' yeah… I am..' shane kept hugging me. Then david walked towards us and put his hand on my back.
David:' are you okay sweetheart?' I nodded.
Shane:' she is fine.. she just has been a lot this year..' david nodded.
David:' but mitchie.. you did a great job!' I wiped my tears, forced a smile.
Me:' thank you..' then he left. Nate and Jason came to check on me, I forced a smile at them. A while later we all left, we all got into shane's car.
