My past and my Future Collide

Chapter 2: Hurt and Angry

It was just after 10 when Mitchie woke up after her sleep in the catering truck on their way to Camp Rock too see her mom still driving not recognizing where they were until she saw the wooden Camp Rock, 15 miles sign and smiled stretching her arms.

"You're finally awake" Her mom said smiling

"Yeah, and really excited" Mitchie said smiling huge when she straightened out her hair and stared out the window watching for the sign to announce they were there

After another 5 Minutes they pulled onto the long road that leads to the leaving or dropping off circle and she definitely liked the second name better. She smiled in Glee when she saw the bus and all the people as the truck pulled in. Soon she was out of the truck and getting her luggage when she felt long flimsy arms engulf her and she laughed hugging Caitlyn back

"Hey Caitlyn" Mitchie said cheerfully

"Hey, so me, you, Lola, and Peggy have cabin Jams" She exclaimed and we both squealed in excitement. This day is already so good.

Mitchie gets her bags, says bye to her mom, and her and Caitlyn bring her bags to the cabin and she lays them on her bed starting to unpack. Lola and Peggy came in about 5 minutes after and both squealed.

"MITCHIE!" they shouted and both ran over and they all hugged well Mitchie laughed and Caitlyn just smiled they would all be getting along for sure and she was happy for that.

They all started unpacking their bags organizing their stuff and figuring out the beds. Mitchie and Caitlyn had two beds beside each other on the wall adjacent to the door which was covered in Connect 3 posters and pictures of the girls during last camp which the camp counselors put up before they all arrive. Peggy and Lola had the beds on the wall across from the door, the beds beside each other the walls decorated with Connect three and pictures of them. This was going to be Mitchie's home for about a month and a week and she was already feeling homey.

She finished unpacking and sat on her bed knowing she would eventually see Shane. He was probably arriving later so she didn't mind. She changed from her pajamas she had worn for the long car ride. She put on a pair of faded skinny jeans and a cute fitted white tee and slipped on flats.

"Come on let's go to the welcoming meeting" Lola mentioned and they all linked arms smiling making it over to the "beach jam" stage and waited for Dee, well talking to Sander and Baron and everyone else except for Tess. They also found out Ella was attending a fashion camp so she wouldn't be joining them this summer.

Caitlyn knew that Shane and the members of connect three weren't coming. Nate and she had become really close and it was hard that he wasn't coming. She was hurting she thought Mitchie was too but still happy from the smile but she didn't expect what was coming next.

20 minutes later Dee had explained many things to the returning and new members on Camp rock. She was going on how after the meeting they were to go to the mess hall for dinner then they had the night off.

"When is Connect 3 getting here" someone shouted and everyone cheered including Mitchie. However Caitlyn didn't she just sighed

"Well unfortunately connect 3 can't actually be here this month." Mitchie's face fell and Caitlyn knew she didn't know by the shock wide eyed look Mitchie had across her face. "They will be here to judge final jam so you can all meet them then, but for now let's go eat" Dee finished and they all started clearing except for the four girls. All of the sudden Mitchie was running away as fast as she could. She felt her legs carrying her to her favorite spot but she didn't care. She was so upset, so angry. She was upset he wasn't coming, but so angry he didn't tell her why? To make her upset, why would he want that of all things?

"I have to go after her" Caitlyn said and was about to run off when Peggy put her hand on Caitlyn's shoulder

"Caitlyn let her be alone for a bit go after dinner or talk to her after dinner if she shows up. So her and Shane were close" Peggy said and asked

"Yes. Apparently they would txt every night for a few hours. I mean I got close with Nate he told me he wasn't coming I assumed Shane told Mitchie but I guess he didn't" She shrugged and sighed "Let's eat then we will focus on Mitchie."

Lola agreed and they all went to the mess hall. The mess hall was filled with chatter and confessions of certain girls that came because Shane, Nate, and Jason had been there so there was this big deal about Camp Rock and going with rock stars. The three girls sat with Baron and Sander. They asked where Mitchie was.

"Shane" Caitlyn said and they nodded just continuing to eat their dinner.

After an hour everyone was finished dinner. Peggy, Lola, and Caitlyn put together a plate for Mitchie before the food was cleaned up and they headed to their Cabin to see if Mitchie was there. Caitlyn wanted to talk to her she was already worried.

They got to the cabin and sighed when Mitchie wasn't there. Caitlyn laid the food on the table between their beds and grabbed her phone looking at Lola and Peggy as they sat on her bed with her. She dialed Mitchie's phone but it ended up being in the room and Caitlyn wanted to scream.

"What do we do know" Lola asked

"I don't know" Peggy said defeated

"Go to the mouth of the asshole that hurt her" Caitlyn said and tapped furiously on a number so well.

"Shane. You have his number" Lola asked

Caitlyn shook her head and mouthed Nate and they nodded in understanding now.

"Hello Nate's phone Shane speaking" The honey voice

"Shane, I so have a bone to pick with you" She growled while she put the phone on speaker

"Yeah me to" Peggy shouted

"Ditto that you idiot" Lola said

"Whoa. Ladies look calm down. That bad though?" he said slowly and sadly

"YES! How could you not tell her? Sure she would've been upset but had time to get over it." Caitlyn said exasperated

"I couldn't though. She would've been so upset, I hate causing that" Shane confessed

"Yeah but seriously you caused her more hurt know." Peggy explained

"You weren't the one to see her face when Dee announced that connect three was not coming this year" Lola said

"Yeah, I tried calling so I could explain but she didn't answer, I really wanted to explain I just couldn't and I want to now." He said honestly

"Her phone is in the cabin" Peggy said

"Oh and you weren't the pair of eyes to see her legs carrying her as fast as possible. You weren't feeling worried when she didn't show up at dinner. You weren't the one who got her a plate of food and showed up at the cabin to notice she hasn't been back. As far as I'm concerned you're a coward and asshole who can't tell the girl who is crazy for him that he won't see her until the fifth week" Caitlyn said and Shane replied

"Look I know. I'm sorry for everything, but I might know where she went if you don't know where to look" He said sighing feeling guilty

"WHERE" They all said in unison really loud and anxious

"The beach near the canoes and probably on the sand near the big shady tree, where we once sat after we went canoeing she said it was her favorite place on the beach" He said and before he has finished Caitlyn was out the door after she grabbed Mitchie's phone.

"We have to go call Mitchie's phone in an hour and don't expect nice words" Lola said coldly and hung up and Peggy went and sat on her bed sighing.

Meanwhile Mitchie was under the big shady tree like Shane mentioned. Her knees were held up to her chest. He back against the tree and head in her knees. She was sobbing and you could easily tell by her back shaking and heaving when she was trying to breathe.

She didn't jump when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder and her friends head on her shoulder while rubbing her back.

"Mitchie" Caitlyn spoke softly and felt Mitchie nod her head

"I'm so sorry. He didn't tell you. Nate told me and said Shane was telling you or would've said something then I wouldn't confronted you I am so sorry" Caitlyn said and Mitchie whimpered a little

"You knew" She asked and Caitlyn sighed

"Yeah, I thought you did and I didn't want to bring it up knowing I was hurting too" She said and Mitchie nodded knowing she accepted Caitlyn's reasoning

"I just… don't understand" Mitchie said

"You got a few missed calls" Caitlyn said and handed Mitchie her phone and she gripped it tightly

Mitchie sighs. "Sorry I ran off, I was just shocked" Mitchie said and Caitlyn understood hugging here. They sat there for a while Caitlyn rubbing Mitchie's back to calm her down.

After about 35 minutes they decided to head back to their cabin. They got to their cabin and Lola and Peggy both hugged Mitchie. She smiled weakly and put on her red plaid pyjama pants and a red t-shirt. She ate her dinner and threw the paper plate and plastic cutlery into the garbage and sat on her bed. She was talking with the girls and just finished tying up her hair when her phone sang Shane Calling. She grabbed her phone, threw on a sweater and went onto the front steps and answered the phone.

Inside the cabin the girls were talking.

"Shane doesn't deserve her. Yeah he didn't want her to be hurt. Although, this just makes him a bigger jerk and he knows it. Yeah she would have been mad and sad when he told her but this is way worse" Caitlyn said

"Yeah it is" Peggy agreed

"Then we have to show her there are more guys out there then Shane" Lola said and they looked at her as if to say go on "Well there is many knew people here. Probably some cute guys that would be nice and right for Mitchie and that she might like. Not all cute guys are idiots, like Nate or Baron or even Jason. So we just have to show Mitchie that and help make this a summer she won't forget. Even better than last year was" Lola finished

"You're right" Peggy said

"Okay!" Caitlyn agreed "We don't have to scope out guys right away lets help her heal but we will show her how to have fun plus classes start tomorrow. Good way to check out possible scoping objects" Caitlyn said

"Definitely" Lola agreed laughing and they kept talking about ideas letting Mitchie having privacy with her phone call.

Mitchie sat on the Porch stairs thanking her roommates for not spying. Shane heard the phone click signalling it was answered and spoke.

"Mitchie?" He spoke quietly

"Shane" She replied sadly "how could you do that to me?"

"I didn't want to tell you and hurt you I can't stand you being hurt because of me" He said

"Well news flash I'm hurting now and it is because of you" She said sadly and pissed off

"Mitchie, I know but camp rock will make you happy" He said

"You're wrong I get here so excited and know I've been crying for the last 2 hours or so, that's so much better than at home getting used to the fact you won't be here, you're a coward" She said now anger evident in her voice

"No, I just couldn't tell you" He said

"How long did you know" She said sniffing

"About a month" He confessed

She is angry but now more hurt. She tried to choke down tears "Well I'm glad I'm not important enough to know that" she says a tear slipping from her eyes

"Mitchie you are more important than anything I swear. I Just couldn't tell you and you're not the only one hurting here" He said his honey like voice sounded ridged

"Why couldn't you, you know you could tell me anything" she said honestly

"Because" he sighs "I didn't want you to think that I wasn't going so you wouldn't go anymore because you belong their more than anyone, and I didn't want to hurt you" he said

"That's bull shit Shane" she almost shouted tears falling "The truth"

"That's most of it" He said

"What else" She asks

"It's just…" he stops

"Fine, listen to me then and you are going to listen. I came here to be with you again. You know how I felt about you and I thought you felt the same way. All I could think about for a year was coming back to camp to see you admit everything even if you didn't feel the same any more. I thought you knew me but apparently you didn't. I would've still came back even if you weren't coming and apparently you aren't yet you chose to not tell me. Seriously Shane I would've been upset but I would've came I love it here you should know that because you share my love of music.. You couldn't trust me but built it up after the fact. I thought I could trust you to tell me stuff but I'm wrong. You kept something that big from me it affects me too Shane not just you. Just I can't talk to you right now. Bye" She says and hangs up

"Wait" He said when he hears the dial tone and sighs hanging his phone up

She takes a rigid breath and walks into the cabin and all the girls stop talking. She puts her phone on the bed and falls onto it tears falling all over her face again sobbing as the girls come over and rub her back trying to calm her down.

Soon her phone sings Shane Mail. She ignores it then it sings it again and again and again and again. 5 times signalling he just sent her five messages and she was ready to explode. Caitlyn saw Mitchie's hand clenching tighter staring at her phone. She could see she wanted to throw it and grabbed it and tossed it too her bed turning it to vibrate.

"Mitchie just ignore it" Caitlyn said "Get some sleep" She said as she sat on Mitchie's bed with the other girls rubbing her back and soon Mitchie was asleep with a tear stained face

"We should go to bed" Lola said walking to hers

"Yeah night" Peggy said

They all got into their beds and turned off the lights. Caitlyn got into her bed and opened Mitchie's phone to read the messages. She knew it was her friend's phone but she wanted to know what Shane had to say.

"Caitlyn just delete them" Mitchie said and Caitlyn jumped back

"Can I read them?" She asked

"Fine, but I'm not" Mitchie said sleepy and fell back asleep.

Caitlyn opened up the phone and read the five messages

Mitchie I'm sorry. I still feel the same how can I not when it's feeling about you. You know you're beautiful in all ways and that's what I love about you and I've told you countless times. I know I was wrong and I was a coward because the last thing I wanted to do was hurt you…

Caitlyn sighed and went to the second one

I know it was still wrong. This way you are with your friends and lots of other people to surround you and comfort you since I can't be. I know you wouldn't be hurting if it wasn't for me. It kills me that you're hurting but I am too. I'm hurting form hurting you because you are important to me, never forget that.

Caitlyn felt horrible for her friend they both like each other but it's not okay for her friend to be hurt over Shane. He deserves to be hurting. She read the third one.

I know you are mad and will not forgive me easily or ever. I guess I deserve it. I was mad at you last time not letting you explain. You shouldn't let me. I couldn't text you and tell you because that would hurt me just too much because I'm way past liking you Mitchie….

Caitlyn thought what a jerk until she opened the fourth message he sent.

I don't like you Mitchie. I'm in love with you. I know I will not be forgiven I don't expect to be. I hope one day I will be deserving of someone as great as you. Maybe one day I will be able to explain everything but I know that won't come for a while. Have fun at camp… You belong there with your friends and with people who won't hurt you.

Caitlyn was still in shock and read the last one.

I doubt you are reading any of these. I had to type them, spill my feelings to someone even if it was a screen. I miss you, always have. Tears free falling down my face and I don't care. You are worth it Mitchie. Until my eyes are dry you are worth it and even if I still had no tears you are still worth tears. I never said bye this way but good night Mitchie. I love you ~Shane

"Wow" Caitlyn exclaimed quietly to herself. She knew Mitchie should read them but that would cause her more hurt. She sighed, deleted them all, turned off Mitchie's phone and placed it on the bedside table went to sleep herself after sending Nate a txt.

Hey Babe,

I don't know but you might need to check on Shane if he isn't with you. Mitchie is asleep now, she didn't read the messages. I did but I couldn't let her it would make it all worse. Don't tell Shane that and I'm taking care of her. See you in 4 weeks. Take care of Shane I think he needs you. Can't say more

Love your Girlfriend Caitlyn

See Nate and Caitlyn had gotten together. Only they knew. Everyone knew they were close just not that they were dating. She was going to tell Mitchie but after this not yet. She will find out the fifth and final week here.

Hey babe,

Okay I understand. You don't have to say more. We all know he cares too much for his own heart to handle. I'll take care of him. I don't know when we come back if anything will fix it. They will pull through it. We'll help them and let them make their own choices even if it doesn't let them be together.

Love your Boyfriend Nate, Who else?

Caitlyn read it happily knowing her and Nate cared a lot about each other. She would take care of Mitchie. He would take care of Shane then they can all go on with their lives and do what they please. However, friends who are like siblings are always there for each other. Mitchie is like Caitlyn's sister she never had. Shane and Nate are practically brothers just not blood related.

Nate walked to Shane's room and opened the door. "Hey dude you okay?" he asked then stops "Guess not" He says looking at Shane and walking over to sit beside him.

Shane was sitting on his bed leaning against the head board his phone beside him and tears falling in a steady stream down his cheeks. He looks up at Nate so vulnerable and puts his face back down wiping his tears

"What happened?" he asked

"She snapped. Well got really upset she was crying on the phone dude. She probably hated me. She was so angry and so hurt. I don't like her Nate I love her. Now because I didn't tell her because I couldn't stand too over txt I lost her." He said

"Shane this is not going to be a say you're sorry and it's alright. If you want this to work which I know you do. You will work your ass off for it. Harder than you ever had and I know you will because love doesn't just happen it takes work" He says and hugs his brother

"Thanks Nate" Shane replies hugging back turning his phone off "I can't let this distract me right now but it's hard not to.

"I know, just get some rest Shane" Nate says as he closes the door leaving and goes to his own room.

Shane turns off his light and lays down tears still falling. Nate was right he has to work for this. He will find a way he has too before he becomes only her past because he didn't want that he wanted to be her future too.

"Hurt and anger ruins everything" He sighs quietly to himself and slowly drifts into a deep slumber with not even a dream.
