OK, I'm sorry for leaving you in the lurch, but I couldn't resist putting the spoilers up to see what your reactions are, I would have put this up earlier, but I had to go to stupid ICT Coursework catch-up, then I had to finish my English, and then chemistry and the Citizenship and RE (Which I don't really care about) its seriously RUINING MY LIFE, its never ending… does anyone else know what I mean, ITS CRAZY!!
And then, I had to go to a stupid meeting about my future… for God sakes, I'm only 15. Being a teenager is supposed to be fun, but all my school cares about is my future. I plan to live until I'm 80 (I also plan to marry Joe Jonas, but…), I haven't even live a quarter of my life yet, how do I know what I'm going to be doing in ten years time, hell, I don't even know what I'm having for tea tomorrow night, all I know is my mate Jess is coming over tomorrow for a day of movies and sweets, yay!!
I'm really glad that your all enjoying my story, I cant believe its already had over 310 hits, I never thought I was good at writing, but, you seem to think otherwise…
OK, so I'm really happy, first because my dad bought cucusoft which is a software that converts DVD into iPod format, so I now have Another Cinderella Story on my iPod, so I love my dad right now!!
Also, I went to get Demi Lovato's CD from HMV (It's the largest CD shopping link shop things all over England, I'm not sure if its international) but yeah, and they had sold out, Demi Lovato's album had sold out n England, but they still had 'A Little Bit Longer' so I was happy. But my once again darling dad ordered it from eBay, but its coming from the USA, so it may take a while to get here… I still have to give my dad the money back, but its not much, so… thank men and their credit cards, although England (and the world apparently) are in a credit crunch, although I have no idea whats going on, and I don't really care, I'm 15, I have more important things to worry about (like boys) )
(BTW – thanks locolemurs for that bit about me on your story, its bloody awesome, in the next chapter does Selena finally tell Demi!! I need to know!! Also, readers go and read it!! If you don't, you will never get any cyber hugs, or ice cream with Joe Jonas on top!!)
OK so I'm gonna start the story now, I'm hyper, I just had a 'WISPA' bar, arent they bloody awesome (Sorry I love that phrase) tell me you agree with me!!
And on with the story!!1
Mary's POV
I woke up really early this morning, I went and got in the shower, I sighed as I felt the warm water glide all over my body, it felt comforting to know that even though today - possibly the best day of my life, even better than the day I moved out of Dominique's house - some things still stay the same. Even though things may change, as long as I have my friends, my health, and the comfort of a morning shower, I could survive. Climbing out of the shower in my en-suite bathroom, I put on my dressing gown and walked through to my room and switched my hairdryer on. Fifteen minutes later I had dry hair, so I went through to the living room and kitchen area, where Sara and Katie were munching on toast. As far as rooms go, this one was awesome, it had a main room, which was large and painted pale green, and it had a circular pattern in different shades of green and white. There was dark laminate wooden flooring, and there were white sofas and dark wood tables. There was a kitchen, which was the same hardwood as the tables, with grey granite counter tops.
I sat at the breakfast bar with the two of them, grabbing a slice of Katie's cheese on toast, grinning to myself as she opened her mouth to protest,
"Hey, I was going to eat that"?
"Tough, you can make some more, I need to eat, and I've only got half an hour now until Mitchie picks me up for the video shoot in case you forgot"
"Yes, we could really forget about it, I mean, its not like you randomly shout it out in the middle of the night, is it Sara"
"No, I mean, its not like it's the only thing you've been talking about for the past 3 days," grinned Sara, pretending to be confused,
"OK, I cant help it, I'm excited" I grinned manically, taking another bite of my toast, or should I say Katie's toast, ha ha ha…
"We know," laughed Sara, "But hadn't you better go and get dressed"?
I looked down at my 'Hey Kitty' dressing gown and laughed, "Maybe I should" I put the last piece of toast in my mouth and chewed it, then I got up and grinned my cheeky grin at them. Going into my room, I opened the door to my wardrobe and randomly threw clothes onto the bed, after trying on countless combinations, I finally settled on a pair of red skinny jeans, and a white t-shirt with a black waistcoat, with a pair of black and white converses.Looking at the clock on the wall, I waved a quick goodbye to Sara and Katie and I slammed the door shut behind me and ran down the two sets of stairs and then out of the door leading to the apartments, I was lucky, a limo pulled up as I stepped out onto the pavement, I stopped expecting Mitchie to get out, but she didn't, so I went to the open window and said to the driver, "Is this limo for Mary Santiago"? He nodded and so I climbed in, the limo driver, I found was a delightfully boring person he didn't talk once, he didn't even grin, despite my best attempts.
Pulling up at the studio he got out and opened the door for me, I climbed out, smoothing out my t-shirt and running a hand through my hair, what? I want to look my best for Mitchie…
I walked through the door, and a big man, I mean huge, he was about 8 foot tall, and maybe even 8 foot wide. He stopped me and then opened his mouth to speak, when I knew what he was going to ask me…
"Hey, sorry miss, this is a closed shoot" he said, in a voice as deep as he was big! I looked up at him and was about to say something, when someone did it for me,
"Maryyyyy" I turned round only to see a brunette walking towards me, well I say walking, I really mean running, then I felt her hit me, she let go and then looked up at me, it was Mitchie, although I totally knew that. "Its OK Mike, this is Mary, she's going to be in the music video"
"OK then, just doing my job Miss Torres"
To my surprise, Mitchie then completely ignored him, and tuned to me, linking arms and we started to walk off,
"Why did you blank him"? I asked, curious to see this side of Mitchie,
"Do you know what it's like to always be followed someone, to not get any privacy, even when your hanging around with friends"?
"Yeah, kinda" I replied, thinking back to living with Dominique, Brit and Bree, I shuddered, turning my attention back to the gorgeous brunette in front of me,
"It gets annoying at times, I never know when I'm next going to get a boyfriend, what guy wants to go out with a girl and a huge bald bloke"
'I would' I thought, feeling my heart sink when she said about a boyfriend, 'get a grip Mary, she's never going to be interested in you, besides, she's straight'
"You'll meet that guy one day, but maybe, if you want, we can go out sometime, with me and my friends" I added hastily, seeing the look on her face, "We can go shopping or something, that's only if you want to" I stuttered, my face heating up, I looked up at her, thinking that she was completely weirded out by me, but she was smiling, in an amused way…
"That would be great," she said, her hand sliding its way over to me as we sat down on the stage, I looked at her and grinned, maybe this week was going to be even better than I thought it was… I was about to ask her why she asked me to be in her music video – seeing as I'm not a great dancer, I know that, as you can tell, I'm not that confidant, well, I have been living with Dominique for the past 10 years. Can you blame me? – When I got called over by a woman named Sally, she was directing the music video.
"Mary"?
"Yes, that's me"
"Mitchie tells me that you are a good dancer, so, I have also had glowing references from Peggy Gordon, the director at your school, so we need you to go and rehearse over there with the other couple of dancers, they already know that you're the lead, so they know where you're going to move, when and blah blah"
Thinking about how cheery she was I grinned and walked over to the other dancers, who introduced themselves as Matt and Alex (who was a girl), they seemed nice. I looked back at Mitchie who was talking to Sally looking bored out of her mind…
Mitchie's POVIt was so cute when Mary go all embarrassed, of course I would like to go out with her and her friends, it would be great, even better if we cut out the friends, I told her I would go, and then Sally called her over. I watched them, I saw Mary nod and then run over to the other two dancers, and then sally came over to me… Oh the joy!!
"Mitchie" said the she devil, I looked up at her face, "so this music video, is going to cut from you dancing on stage with Mary, Matt and Alex, to you and Mary walking arm in arm down the high street, shopping, trying on hats, a fun video basically"
"Sounds Brilliant" I said, trying to muster up some excitement into my voice, Sally started talking to me again, and I zoned out, I looked towards Mary who was going through the dance steps, she really was picking these dance moves up quickly, I glanced back at Sally and nodded, just to show that I was paying attention NOT! I looked back over at Mary, she was doing a spin and she tripped and started to fall but Matt caught her and they laughed. I felt jealousy sweep my body and anger built up at this, Mary was my friend, hang on, this isn't right, I have friends who are friends with other people, just look at Caitlyn and Lola and Sierra, Camp Rock really changed my life, for the better, I think… wait I am getting completely of topic now, why am I jealous of Matt, I don't like Mary like that, do I? 'When she bent over and you could see some of her cleavage, and…' ahh, this is mad, although, it is nice to have someone my own age to hang around with.
"OK Mitchie"? Sally questioned, pulling me out of my reverie,
"Um, Sure" I agreed, although, I'm not sure what to, oh well, guess I'll find out later anyway…
I took one last look at Mary and then I was whisked away with the band to practice the song which by the way is called 'Tattoo' I wrote it when I split from Shane, its basically about how even though we're done, I'll never forget him…
1 Week later
Mitchie's POVSo, it's been a whole week since Mary joined us for the video shoot, which we have finished rehearsing the stage sequences now, we just have to go through it once more today, and then that's it for today at least… and then two days of filming, and then who knows when I will see Mary again, if I even get the chance to see her again…
Oh, hang on I just received a text, oh its from Mary, we swapped numbers on the first day we met, after I asked her about being in the video (just in case I didn't mention it earlier)
Mitchie
Stop staring at Matt, and get practicing!!
Mary x xOh Mary Mary Mary, you see, my gorgeous dancer, its not Matt I'm staring at, not that I'd ever tell her that. Seriously though, ever since I met her, it's as though I'm going back to being the shy, quiet Mitchie I was before I went to Camp Rock and met Shane and Tess Tyler. Its like she's changed me.
We went shopping with her and her friend's Sara and Katie just like she said, and it was awesome…
FlashbackGetting out of the limo in front of Mary and her friends apartment, I was shaking, I didn't want to give her a bad impression, because, well, although I'm famous, I don't find it easy making new friends, and I don't want to come of to her friends as a posh, arrogant, stuck up brat… I was lucky, in just a few seconds after I climbed out of the limo, Mary and her friends came out of the door, and Mary pulled me into a hug, introduced me to her two friends – who are actually pretty cool – and then pushed me back into the limo.
After a lot of talking and giggling (we still didn't make my limo driver smile) we arrived at the largest mall in Manhattan, where we spent a brilliant afternoon, despite all the interruptions from fans and paparazzi.
The four of us walked into the 20th shop of the day, and me and Mary were exhausted, we had spent the past seven hours trying on clothes, gee, when Mary said that Katie and Sara liked to shop, she wasn't kidding…
While Katie and Sara went to try on the hundredth pair of jeans of the day, Mary and me spotted a cool bag, just out of reach, so instead of just asking someone to get it for us, we decided that I should give her a piggyback to get it,
"Get on my back" I said
"What"? She replied, "No, that's insane, you get on my back, you weigh less than me"
I refused, and she only gave in when I gave her a puppy dog eyes face… did I mention that I love her… well I was going to!! It was going well, well, that is until I tripped on a bag and we both fell forwards, she landed on my back and she lay there for a few seconds before getting up and then offering me a hand… I rolled over onto my back and took it and she pulled me up, both of us blushing like mad, not looking each other in the eye… was it just my imagination, or did she seem a little reluctant to let go, no must only be me and my hormonal little brain!!
And then the other two came back and we quickly recovered, well she did, but I sure as hell didn't, I mean, have you seen her!! I looked across at Mary and she blushed (she looked so cute) and grinned at me, oh she was so cute, I've already mentioned that haven't I? Just testing you all…
Mary then went over to her friend Sara and they walked off talking, I then however started talking to Katie about boys, Mary and dancing, it was great, and Katie is a really great person, and we was having a really good conversation, well, that is until I got attacked by a load of crazed fans, (I am joking, I love my fans, well, the ones that don't throw things at me) oh yes, I thought, I really should go shopping more often.
End FlashbackShopping, shopping, shopping, hey, I should write a song about shopping, how about,
Handbags, handbags,
Shoes and things,
I can buy,
Almost anything!!
Yep, I can see it now, the next number one!!
"Mitchie" yes, it's old Miss Idiot, Sally the numpty, she wants me to be ready to go through the whole dance singing routine of the music video, its basically a dress rehearsal, but without the dress… and it went well, despite my wondering eyes to Mary's … ha, like I'm going to tell you…
So, that's my life, and tomorrow, we start filming the music video…
'The Next Day'I woke up early and got to the studio in a record time of 2 hours, and guess what Mary was already there, but she looked really depressed, so I went over to see what was wrong,
"Mary"? I questioned, she looked up at me, her face puffy and her eyes red,
"Oh, hey Mitchie" she said, trying to sound like she was alright, her hand wiping her eyes, bless her, something is really upset her, it had better not be a boy or I'll swear I'll castrate him, doing these things to my Mary, my Mary, hmm, I like the sound of that.
"What's up"?
"Nothing, I'm fine, something in my eye"
"Mary, don't act dumb, you've been crying, I know you" she smiled a weak, watery smile at me and stood up, she took the step so now our bodies were touching and I pulled her into a hug, to which she responded by putting her arms around me, I swear my heart just stopped, and am I supposed to be breathing or something… I can't remember, my head feels light and cloudy… who needs 'Speed' or 'Cocaine' when you have a very hot girl in your arms? Answer me that one druggies…
Mary's POVSo here I was crying my eyes out, and no-one comes up to me to see if I'm OK, I am insignificant, I'm lonely, and I'm trying to figure out my evil hormonal balance… it started when I saw Mitchie Torres in the flesh for the first time, and then again when I fell on her when we went shopping, that didn't help matters one little bit… I figured it out, Sara figured it out the other day when we went shopping, and the conversation went something like this…
Flashback
I pulled Mitchie up and reluctantly let go, feeling the heat in my cheeks, Joey never had this effect on me, what was this feeling, there was an awkward silence between us, until that is Sara and Katie came out of the changing rooms and Sara dragged me off to 'look at this cool pair of shoes' so she said, but I soon found out she had other plans for our 5 minutes away from Mitchie and Katie,
"So, what happened"?
"What happened when"? I replied, having no idea what she was going on about,
"Just now, before me and Katie came back out of the changing rooms" she said, the excitement practically dripping out of her…
"Oh, we was trying to reach a bag and she fell over, and I fell on her, and then, yeah" I said, blushing again,
"Oh My God," Sara said, stopping me and then standing in front of me, "You are totally in love with her" she exclaimed,
"No I'm not" I relied, unable to keep the blush from reaching my ears, "that's just crazy talk"
"No its not, you're totally in love with Mitchie Torres"
"Keep your voice down" I yelled/whispered, looking around at the people who were giving us all weird looks,
"Ha, you just admitted it" she smiled delightedly at me,
"OK, so I like her" I whispered, the blush becoming more intense,
"So, OK we're getting somewhere, when are you going to tell her"
"I'm not, I tell her, she hates me, we aren't friends anymore"
"Mary, did you not see her face when we came back, it was exactly the same as yours"
To that I just looked at her.
End FlashbackI saw the door open and Mitchie came in, looking gorgeous as she always does, and she saw me and made a beeline for me, I could never tell her what I was crying about, I thought as she asked me what I was crying about, and when she pressed the matter and I told her I had something in my eye, she totally didn't believe me… I stood up and she gave me a hug, and I swear, my heart stopped, and that's why I could never tell her what was wrong with me, I couldn't tell her I was hopelessly and ridiculously in love with her, could I?
So during the day, the recording was going great, we did the street bit in the morning, which was basically just us two shopping again, but thankfully, there was no more falling on each other, because I would seriously not be able to function if I had to look in her eyes, her beautiful brown eyes. We just had a load of shopping, and her walking up the high street singing with me walking next to her…
So for the second part of the day we recorded the second part of the video, the stage dancing and singing, and it was fantastic, as soon as Mitchie started to sing, It took all of my instincts and determination to just remember the dance moves…
"There's a first
time for everything
It's definitely one of them nights
I knew
when I looked in his eyes
That he was gonna be trouble for me
I
never wanted to lie
I knew that my baby would cry
If he knew
what we were doing
But if his love don't pass the test
I
gotta get it from somewhere else
When I'm gone and I need a man
Hope he understands
Forgive me baby
I gotta
take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can wait
no more
Sitting all alone
Man, I really hope
Hope you
forgive me
Oh oh
Hope you forgive me
Oh oh
Hope you
forgive me
Oh oh
I can wait no more
Man, I really hope
Hope you forgive me
Been a long time since I
Did
something good for myself
But why should I be put through hell?
He's doing what he wanna do
I finally found somebody else
Who really wants to make me feel
Things that I've been
missing so long
And his love always passed the test
It's a
shame I had to look somewhere else
When I'm gone and I need a man
I just hope that he understands
Forgive me baby
I
gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can
wait no more
Sitting all alone
Man, I really hope
Hope
you forgive me
Oh oh
Hope you forgive me
Oh oh
Hope
you forgive me
Oh oh
I can wait no more
Man, I really
hope
Hope you forgive me
Forgive me but I need to be
loved too
Forgive me but I can't wait around for you
Forgive
me if I found a man
Who understands just what I need
Forgive
me but I need to be loved too
Forgive me if I can't wait around
for you
Forgive me if I found a man who understands
Forgive
me baby
I gotta take a chance tonight
So I'm doing
me, myself and I
Can wait no more
Sitting all alone
Man,
I really hope
Hope you forgive me
Oh oh
Hope you forgive
me
Oh oh
Hope you forgive me
Oh oh
I can wait no more
Man, I really hope
Hope you forgive me
I gotta take a
chance tonight
So I'm doing me, myself and I
Can wait no more
Sitting all alone
Man, I really hope
Hope you forgive me"
During the song I swear Mitchie kept looking at me, maybe it was my imagination, or maybe it was my crazy loved up mind, or what ever, but I don't care, even if its just in my mind, its still a great feeling.
"Mary, that was fabulous," said Mitchie as everyone left the studio; she walked over to me and stood in front of me…
"Thanks Mitchie, I still can't believe this is happening, I mean, I'm in a music video for you" I smiled at her…
"I'm glad you're here with me Mary" she whispered linking our fingers together, her right hand in my left hand, "Its nice to have someone who likes me for me, not just because I'm famous. Like I said yesterday, I'm glad I have someone to talk to, that I'm not going to be followed around by paparazzi" she moved her head closer to me, my face was heating up, my heart race increased and my eyes made contact with hers. Her eyes looked down at my lips and her left hand came into contact with my cheek, our heads were moving closer to each other and then I heard a sound of a mobile phone ringing, it was Mitchie's, her ring tone was my favourite song…
'So What,
I am a rockstar,
I got my Rock moves,
And I don't need you'
Groaning, Mitchie pulled away from me and grabbed the phone out of her pocket,
"I should go," I said, blushing and grabbing my Jacket; before walking out of the door, if I would have turned around I would have seen the disappointment clear on Mitchie's face, as she brought the phone to her ear,
"Hello Dominique"
Nobody's POV
If Mary had heard this, her first thought would have been, 'even when she's not around, she still ruins my life' as it was, Mary went away with the smell of Mitchie's vanilla perfume lodged up her nose…
Ok so I never expected this chapter to go on for so long, just into 10 pages and over 4400 word, the most I have ever written, so, I hope you liked the chapter, so the songs I used are:
Forgive Me – Leona Lewis
The ring tone was 'So What – Pink' this song is number one in the UK at the moment…
So I will probably only update at the weekends, maybe once or twice during the week, because of school and other rubbish stuff like that… review if you want me to update and keep going, but I have an idea for another story, its another of these two pairings, and I also have a Jack and Gwen from Torchwood fanfic I may post, looking forward to hearing your reviews…
