I'm back again, sorry it's been a while. 3 days to xmas YAY!
"What are you talking about?" Caitlyn asked me raising her eyebrows.
"I'm sorry." As I said that I ran towards the door away from the stage but Declan got in the way and turn me around so I was facing the stage again.
"Listen to me you are Demi Lovato but perform in front of millions of people nearly every night, you have nothing to be scared of." He whispered in my ear while pushing me back to the stage which Peggy was now singing on and she was really good.
"But that's Demi not me." I argued trying to fight out of his grip but he was stronger than me and kept hold of me.
"And Demi's you." He stated, "Mitch you are much more then you think you are why can't you see that?"
"Mitchie Declan's right you maybe Demi but you are also Mitchie and you can sing, God you are amazing." Caitlyn said handing me a microphone, "You can do this."
I took a deep breathe and looked out to the crowd and saw dad sitting in the front row just behind Shane and the guys, I closed my eyes and remembered all the times before I became Demi, dancing and singing around my bedroom not giving a damn who saw or heard me. I opened my eyes and turned to face Caitlyn and Declan.
"Let's do this." I smiled just as Peggy had finished and Brown had announced that it was the end of Final Jam and I knew that, that was my cue to get ready. Brown came off the stage and walked over to us.
"It's the end of Final Jam?" I asked looking at him and gripping the mic in my hand until my knuckles turned white.
Brown smiled at me and told me to go and rock the stage. Caitlyn gave me one more hug and disappeared to the other side of the stage to get ready and Declan came up to me.
"Break a leg." He smirked saying the same thing he did every time I went on stage and gave him a bear hug and went to the side of the stage.
The music started and I made my way onto the stage keeping my back to the crowd. I started to sing. Not as Demi but as Mitchie the one person who was scared of anyone hearing her sing.
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say
But I have this dream
Right inside of me
I'm gonna let it show, it's time
To let you know
To let you know
I turned around and looked directly at my dad who was beaming at me looking so proud more proud then he normally does when I am on stage.
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Shane POV
That was the song! I turned around and saw Mitchie on stage singing her heart out. I stood there in shock, Mitchie was the girl I had been looking for all summer and yet she was standing right in front of my eyes the whole time.
"That's the song!" I said out loud taking the mic from Uncle Brown.
I heard Nate say, "That must be the girl." And Jason just laugh and go, "Ya think?" I stood there watching the way she moved around the stage taking it in her stride not looking bothered but enjoying herself.
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
I decided to join in with the song I had written for the girl with the voice which turned out was a song for her I started to sing and she paused at looked at me smiling and starting to sing along.
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I need to find you, I gotta find you
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you, I gotta find you
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me (this is me)
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me
Mitchie POV
Oh my God I am singing on stage with Shane Gray. Wait a minute how did he know my song? I couldn't be this mystery girl that he had been looking for all summer could I? He has never heard me sing as myself until tonight. Right now I decided that I didn't care. When the song finished I looked and our intertwined hands and smiled at him laughing a little and he smiled back laughing as well.
He went back to the guys and I went backstage and gave Caitlyn a massive hug and we jumped up and down screaming. Declan ran over to us and gave me a huge hug then pulled a way and pulled Caitlyn in for a very passionate kiss which turned into a little make out session. Now I loved my brother but when he started making out with my friend I got a little uncomfortable and I cleared my throat and they pulled back looking a little embarrassed. I giggled and turned back to the stage but Tess had come up to me and Caitlyn I didn't care what she had to say because I was in such a good mood nothing could bring me down form that.
"Hey Mitchie?" She asked and I turned to face her with Caitlyn and Declan by my sides, "I'm sorry for everything that I have done to you over the summer and I told Brown that you didn't wreck my cabin. By the way you were really good."
"Wow...um...thanks Tess." I said and she gave me a small smile and walked off. Caitlyn, Declan and me gave each other looks and turned our focus back to the stage where Brown, Dee and Shane were standing ready to revel the winner of Final Jam.
Peggy was reveled as the winner and she was gob-smacked that we had to push her a little to get her onto the stage. I didn't care that I didn't win; I never came here to win Final Jam I came to have a normal summer even though normal isn't really in my family. Hasn't been for the past what 3 years.
I walked away from everyone and went down the dressing room area and silently screamed to myself with joy.
"Mitchie?" I heard a voice say and I turned around and saw my dad standing in the doorway.
"DADDY!" I screamed running up to him and throwing my arms around his neck.
"Hey princess, miss me?" He laughed pulling me in for a tighter hug before letting me go.
"Maybe a little," I said with a smile on my face, he gave me a look and I giggled, "Ok maybe a lot then."
"Sorry you didn't win." He said smiling knowing that I didn't come here to win.
"That's ok I had a good summer in a weird way, not as normal as other summers but still when have our lives been normal?" I laughed,
"You got that right kiddo." Looking at me before turning to the stairs and saw Shane walking down them, "I'll see you later." Me knowing that he wanted to get out before Shane recognized him as Demi's dad and manager.
"So I guess my search is over." He said walking towards me and stopped right in front of me.
"That depends on who you were looking for, Hi I'm Mitchie." I said holding my hand out for him to shake.
"And I'm Shane." He said playing along, "Hey up for a canoe ride later?"
I stood there and thought about it for a bit watching Shane become a little tense. "Oh go on then." I laughed and he relaxed and laughed to, "Besides you still need to explain what Tess was going on about earlier in the summer." I froze what was I going to tell him, I couldn't tell him I was Demi, I wanted him to get to know Mitchie first before knowing that I am his ex-girlfriend only with different hair and a different accent. I'll have to talk to Declan and Caitlyn.
Hey I need help! What excuse could Mitchie use to explain why Tess thought what she did. Let me know and don't forget to review.
Merry Christmas
XxX ;)
