Stick and Stones Chapter 13, a camp rock fanfic

Chapter 13

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the story plot and a couple of characters.

Shane was busy trying to convince Nate and Jason to let him visit Mitchie but they needed him to record. Shane gets an idea, "How about this, you guys record a song I don't sing and I will visit Mitchie as fast as possible."

Nate says, "Go and get your girl back then."

Shane smiles and runs out the door while saying, "Thanks Nate."

He heads over to Mitchies school but realizes he has no clue where she is and thinks it's doubtful that she would answer a text from him. He heads to the office with his guitar. He politely asks the office lady, "Would you mind telling me where a Mitchie Torres is right now?"

The office lady looks up, "Oh, you're Shane Gray. Ooo, you are pretty lucky, I was going to say I can't tell you but my daughter loves you and I can take a bribe."

Shane thought about it, "You get her here and I will talk to her before I leave. Right now I just need to get to Mitchie."

She smiles, "That will work. I will have her here in 5 minutes. Here is your visitors pass. She is in room 115. Go down this hall and go right at the first hall. She will be in your first room on your right."

Shane smile, "Thanks."

He heads down the hall and then turns right. He looks at the door on the right and realizes she is in music class right now. He glances in the room and sees her. He breathes deeply and opens the door. He knows everyone is staring and whispering but all he cares about is Mitchie who is writing something down. He sees Caitlyn next to her. Caitlyn taps Mitchie and whispers something in her ear. Mitchie immediately looks right at Shane once Caitlyn stopped talking. She stares him down for a couple of minutes. Mitchies teacher says, "Ummm, aren't you Shane Gray?"

Shane nods and says, "Yeah. Im here visiting a friend of mine. She is pretty talented and she wanted me to sing for her class so here I am."

The teacher asks, "Oh really. Who is your friend and what song are you singing?"

Shane replies with a smile, "Mitchie Torres and I will only sing if she promises to sing a song after or before I sing."

The teacher turns to Mitchie, "Ok Mitchie are you gonna sing?"

Mitchie nods and says, "Oh and I will sing first."

She stands up, walks to the front of the class and takes Shanes guitar out of his hands. Mitchie says, "Im guessing that this is still in tune."

Shane nods and everyone, but the group who actually knows Shane, gasps. Shane Gray was never that calm. Mitchie starts playing softly and nods once before she begins singing

Do you see me
Do you care
You talk about me
Like I'm not there

Don't get a word in
When you're around
I bet you don't know
What I'm about

'Cause I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen

You suffocate me
You drown me out
I'm tired of waiting
Without a doubt

I feel I'm fading
I flicker out
My heart is screaming
Without a sound

'Cause I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen

I'm not sorry for who I am
Take it or leave it
It's my time to take a stand
Throw it or keep it
Know that I don't need to understand
Won't say it again

(I will)
(I will)
(I will)
(I will)
You know I will

'Cause I will, I will
Speak for myself
What you see
Isn't all I am
I need a place to stand
I will, you know I will
I will speak for myself
There's so much you're missing
If you cared you'd listen
If you cared you'd listen

I will, I will
Speak for myself

Everyone claps for her quickly then turns to face Shane. They wait patiently for him to start. He walks over to Mitchie, "Remember Mitchie, even if others want to hear me more often than you, I love your voice and will always want to hear you sing."

Mitchie smiles and lets him lead her over to the stool in front of the classroom. He sits down on it and has her stand near him as he begins to play and sing

Guess you never really know
Just what you've got
'Til you finally realize
She could be gone
I know that I've been taking you for granted
For the longest time
All you wanted
Was someone who really cares
And I didn't even
Notice you were there
I promise that I'll never ever
Make that same mistake not twice

That was then
This is now
Took some time to come around
All I wanna do
Is try again
Show you how
I know that it's all about
Givin' attention to you
I was a fool for way too long
What you wanted, I could not see
That was then
This is now
Took some time to figure out
Love is all you need

Guess I never really thought about it before
I was thinkin' of myself
And nothing more
Didn't even wanna try to find out
How you really feel (how you really feel)
Now I see
That I'm the lucky one
It's true
And what we've got
To know I never want to lose
I was trippin' in a fantasy
And missing what was real

I used to be someone
Who only really thought about
Themselves and no one else
And you could tell baby
But that's before
I understood
That when you've
Got something this good
Gotta let her know
And I want you to know

You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yeah)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it all slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are

You're always my priority
And I wanna give you more
Than all the love you need
Took a little time
But now you know I finally see
That you're my world (yes you are)

I never want our love to fade ready, willing
And I'm gonna do whatever it takes
No I'm never gonna let it all slip away
'Cause you're my girl, yes you are

Comin' around
And ready to show you how
I'm gonna change girl

Everyone claps but the bell rings so everyone starts to file out of the classroom. Soon everyone has left but Mitchie and Shane. Mitchie grabs her stuff and then grabs Shanes hand, "Come on popstar. You wouldn't want me late for the last class of the day."

He smiles and follows her. Everyone stares as Shane and Mitchie pass by holding hands. The couple is not paying attention to them but instead is smiling and talking happily. Mitchies last hour of the day is P.E. so she leads him to the gym and reminds him that he can't flirt with the girls in her P.E. class since they are back together again. Shane smiles and watches Mitchie go to the girls' locker room. He sits down on the bleachers and texts Nate, "Hey im going to stay with Mitchie until schools over then we will head over to the recording studio. Hope you guys are doing well with the song." He sends it and before he can look to see if Mitchie was out yet, he has hands cover his eyes. "Guess who?"

Shane decides to have fun with it, "Omg is it that dreamy Rock star Shane Gray. I would love to meet him…Oh snap I need to get to the office stat. I was supposed to meet that office ladies daughter like 30 minutes ago."

Mitchie laughs and uncovers his eyes, "Well im glad you think so highly of yourself but you should go. If im not still in here when you get back; check the track."

Shane nods then runs to the office. He meets her daughter and gives her a signed picture of Connect 3 then headed to the gym again. He looks around and sees no Mitchie so he looks on the track and sees her and 2 other people running around the track. He runs out there and sees how much trouble they are having. He hurries over towards Mitchie and starts jogging next to her. He asks, "How many more laps do you have?"

While gasping for breath Mitchie says, "4."

Shane gasps and asks angrily, "Who is making you do this and how many laps have you already done?"

Mitchie not seeing his face says, "6 or so. I lost count after a mile," while pointing towards the teacher watching all of them run next to the track sitting on the bleachers.

Shane tells her, "I will be back."

Mitchie then realizes what he is going to do. She tries to grab his hand to stop him but he gets away to fast. Shane runs to the teacher and asks, "Why are you making these students run 2 ½ miles?"

The teacher replies without looking at Shane, "They refused to run a mile, so I am making then run 2 ½ miles while everyone is playing a game inside."

Shane is ticked off, "Excuse me that is not something we do. Those poor kids can't run that much and so I am going to tae them out of your hands for this hour and you will be hearing from my lawyer. Comprendé?"

The teacher finally looks at him, "Well Mr. Im-A-Star these kids have to pass PE and in order to do that they have to run a mile. Technically I am just helping them to be able to pass later."

Shane grins, "Yeah but my lawyer knows better then to fight me so he will fight you for your job. See you in court."

Shane runs back to Mitchie, "Stop running. He can't do anything to stop you. So I was thinking about taking you guys to McDonalds. My treat. Sound good?"

Mitchie smiles, "Sounds great."

The two of them quickly stop the other two. Shane asks the two if they want to join him and Mitchie. They happily agree. Shane asks them to meet at the office. He convinces the office lady to let all the students with him leave the schools premises for the rest of the hour. When Shane comes out the office the 3 PE students were waiting for him. Shane quickly says, "Okay you 3 go sign out. We are free to go."

They quickly sign out and follow Shane out to his car. They get to McDonalds and go through the Drive-thru. Shane knew that was safest for him but put on sunglasses anyways. They all got food and headed back to the school. They all sat under the shade of a tree out in front of the school. Soon enough school was over, the 2 that had joined Shane and Mitchie left and headed to the bus. Shane grabbed Mitchies hand and dragged her to his car, "Come on, I need to get back to the recording studio. I was supposed to be back like an hour ago."

Mitchie lets him pull her just grateful that they were back together. Shane holds her hand while driving to the recording studio. He glances over at her several times and just smiles. Mitchie just looks over at him and wonders why she even thought he was a bad boyfriend. Sure he didn't visit often but when he did it was a spectacular visit. They get there and Shane quickly gets out and opens the door for her. Mitchie gets out of the car then Shane closes the door and grabs her hand. He pulls her inside gently. Mitchie laughs, "Wow are you in a rush there Popstar?"

He looks forward leading her while replying, "Yes…was supposed to make this a short visit."

They get to where Nate and Jason are and Mitchie lets go of Shanes hand and hugs them both quickly. She gets back to Shane and tells him, "Well get going popstar. We didn't rush here for you to just stand around."

Shane smiles and quickly kisses Mitchies cheek before heading to record the songs he wrote. Mitchie waits and listens to the songs they are recording until she gets a phone call…

Mitchie: Hello

Mitchies parents: Hey sweetie. When are you coming home? It's getting kinda late and we were wondering if you were going to eat with us.

Mitchie: Yeah I will eat with you guys. Let me get Shane to bring me home.

Parents: Ok sweetie, see you soon.

Mitchie: Bye

Mitchie hangs up the phone and feels arms wrap around her waist. Mitchie turns to face Shane. "Hey Popstar I need to get home."

"Okay little one. Let's get going then. We are done for today anyways."

He lets go of her waist but grabs her hand and they head to her house. He drops her off, "Hey little one, we have a concert in a week…Did you want to go?"

Mitchie smiles, "I would love to go."

Shane smiles and kisses Mitchie. Mitchie gets out of the car and walks inside.
