My Past and My Future Collide
Chapter 5: What!
A/N: Thanks to all you reviewed and such it means a lot it really does. It doesn't matter how many I get I'm just glad you all like it so far. I got reviews on ideas what Shane might do. It involves going to Camp Rock right away. Well I'm not that nice:P Enjoy!
Jason and Nate were a little too shocked to move for a minute or two. When everything finally registered Jason was just staring at Nate wide-eyed.
"We'll be right back" Nate said as he jumped out of chair and walked out of the room Jason right there with him. They walked in the studio room seeing Shane sitting on the couch on the phone.
Shane was in his black zip-up sweater. The hood covering the top of his head shading his face from the world. He was wearing sunglasses covering his eyes which were red and puffy. "Yes I'm sure" He said talking quietly on the phone zipping his bag up. "Thank you, I will never forget it sorry" He said and then he hung up
"What's going on" Nate asked as Shane just sat there
"I'm quitting" He said solemnly
"Look, I know it's hard but you can quit loving someone it doesn't happen like that" Jason said he can be serious when he needs to be
"I can't quit loving her okay and never will. I'm quitting music it isn't in me anymore I can't do it" he said "It had been coming but I think she brought back now she's with someone else, doesn't care, I just can't continue. James will be in contact but I have to go" He said grabbing his bag Nate and Jason in shock
"Where are you going" He said
"Camp Rock" Jason asks
"I don't know yet, look I'll keep in touch I'm sorry, she's the reason these songs are this way, why I'm singing but it's over I have to go." He said walking out and leaving the studio.
"SHANE!" Nate called but he heard no response or anything else it was silence and Shane was just gone.
"This is so very bad" Nate says exasperated to Jason
"Yeah, but what can we do" He says "I know we should intervene but maybe he has to be alone for a while"
"I know, but I've never seen him like this" Nate confesses
"Me neither, let's just let him cool off he will probably be at home when we get there" Jason said
"Okay, let's finish lunch then we will go" Nate says
They walk into the conference room with the recorders and producers and continue eating lunch after Nate sent an important text message.
Mitchie and Trevor entered the mess hall. She invited Trevor to sit with her. They joined Caitlyn, Baron, Sander, Lola, and Peggy.
"Hey, this is Trevor" Mitchie said "Trevor this is Caitlyn, Baron, Sander, Lola, and Peggy" She said pointing to each of them as they wave.
"Nice to meet you" Trevor said he sat down "You've all been here before?" He asked
"Yeah we have" Caitlyn said as her phone rand with an Urgent sound "Sorry I have to take this she said and walked over to the corner of the room.
"Okay then" Trevor said "Anything I should be warned about" he asks
Caitlyn looks to see it's an URGENT text message she opens it to see a long one and starts reading.
Caitlyn, this is all really messed up, don't panic it's not about us. Look I don't know what is all going on because I am not Shane's brain but he just quit music. He got out of the contract and stuff. I think he might be going there, so keep an eye out. He probably won't but just incase we are dealing with it keep Mitchie sane okay don't worry. Love Nate XOX
"WHAT!" Caitlyn screamed out loud and everyone turned to look at her and she just turned read and sped walk to the table sitting down
"What's up Caitlyn" Mitchie asked
"Nothing, sorry just um… surprised" she said and text Nate back furiously on her phone
"Wow. Didn't think it was THAT bad. But I guess it is. Okay I'll keep Mitchie sane and won't tell her. I miss you good luck and I'll definitely let you know if he is here. Love you, Cait XO
She put her phone away and sighed. This is going to be one interesting summer She was scared, worried and just a bundle of emotions. Many things can happen but what happens if the world turns to hell. That can't happen well at least she hopes it's impossible.
Nate and Jason finished lunch now and headed towards the house. Shane wouldn't be THAT far, would he? They got into Jason's car and drove home. When they got their Shane's car wasn't their but they were hoping. They went into the house and it was dead silent.
Nate cautiously walked over to Shane's room and opened the door to see what he was afraid off. It was almost clean. There were empty dressers; the closet was cleaned and certain prized items that Shane had were gone. Nate walked over to the bed to see a piece of paper. He picks it up and sits on the bed as Jason joins and they read it
Nate and Jason,
I'm sorry I bailed without letting you know. I have to be alone for a while. To get everything sorted out. I will text you letting you know I'm safe and such don't worry about me. I need to get everything straight. Clear my head. The music is amazing I want you to continue without me. I will miss you both and all you're crazy antics.
I love you guys
Shane
Nate sighs and falls back on the bed this is so bad.
"Wow" Jason says "This is bad" he says upset
"Yeah, really bad, I didn't think he would leave immediately" Nate stated and sat up again. He stood up to leave when he saw something sticking out of under the bed. He picked it picked it up seeing a shattered picture frame. The picture was crinkled up within the frame. He picked it up and saw it was of Shane and Mitchie at final jam. He sighs and walks out of the room Jason with him. They sit it the game room and just sit there trying to figure out what to so. They didn't know what to make of anything. They could just sit by the phone and wait for a text message form their missing "brother".
Shane was in the back of a taxi watching the familiar surrounding speed by him. The Taxi stopped and Shane stepped out taking his two suitcases and paying the taxi driver. The taxi drove away and Shane took in a breath of the cool night hair of the all too familiar surroundings. He started along the path the wound through the park. The air was cool, the winding rustling through his hair. He took off his sunglasses his sore red eyes adjusting to the night sky, only the park lights lighting up the path.
He walked along the bath wheeling his suitcases along the deserter path for the night. He walked passes the batting cages and the soccer field. He kept walking passes the playground then continued through the walking path of the forest. When he emerged from the other side he walked to the street and saw it right across from him. The little house, with a familiar warm light glowing through the window and he smiled. It was the house he grew up in. In New Jersey with his Mom and Dad, he has visited a few months ago but he was here to stay for a bit longer. It was nearing 8:00 as he slowly crossed the street his duffle bag along his shoulder the two suitcases following him. He let them rest and took dropped his duffle bag as he rang the doorbell.
He heard footsteps then the familiar creek of the door as he saw his mom open up. "Shane" She said surprised as she took in his face and just hugged him "This is a nice surprise" she said letting him in with his things.
"Trent, Shane Is here" She said and soon his dad came walking in
"Hey son" He said hugging Shane as Shane hugged back
"What are you doing back so soon?" His mother asked
"I was hoping I could stay for maybe a month or so?" He asked
"Sure, I thought you were recording" His dad said
"Let's sit down and talk" His mother suggested as they went into the living room and sat down.
"I got out of the contract" he said "I love singing but it's not in my heart anymore. I let my heart stay open and well" He stopped
"You got hurt" his mom said
"Yes. I know it seems like I'm running away but it's not within music. She just reminded me why I started and now that's gone I just can't anymore" he says and his parents are surprised
"A girl?" his dad asked
"Wait from last summer" His mom asked
"Yeah" He sighed leaning back on the couch "I just need to sort everything out. I thought this would be the perfect place. I'll keep a low profile I just need to be away from these things and be me for a while" he finished
"Son, you can stay as long as you want. Okay, and on the low profile be who you are, I'm sure your fans here will respect that" his dad said
"Thanks" he said and hugged his mom and dad
"Okay, well do you need anything to eat or drink Shane" his mom asked
"No thanks. I ate on my way here but thanks." He sad politely
"Okay well your bed is made as always" his mom ads
"Thanks, I'm going to go to bed it's been a long day" He said kissing his moms cheek, hugging his dad and bringing his stuff upstairs to his bedroom.
He laid his stuff onto the floor and changed into a pair of pajama pants. He takes his shirt off revealing his toned, tanned and very muscular chest. He turns off his light and climbs into his bed leaning against the headboard his cell phone in his hand. He carefully pulls up a message screen and sends Nate and Jason a message.
Hey, I'm safe and staying with relatives and friends of my family. I'm not telling where because I need to be alone for a while. I know the relatives will mind their business and I know that I just need to think and be away from all the craziness, Shane
He sighs and thinks about Mitchie and the picture he saw of her holding someone's hand. Had she really moved on that fast? He loves her. Not just any kind of love he was head over heels in love with here. He lay down on his back the pillow rising up around his head. Soon for the second time that day his eyes fill with tears and they spill down his cheek. He sighs and slowly falls asleep thinking about Mitchie and maybe it was actually over. However, that's the last thing he ever wanted.
During lunch Mitchie and Trevor flirted all the time. Caitlyn just ignored it and rolled her eyes time after time after time. Would it ever end?
"So Mitchie, would you like to go for a walk after last class" Trevor asked
"Depends, are you asking me to go for a walk or if I want to go for a walk" she said back challenging. She was definitely flirting and she was aware of it
"Whichever one you're going to say yes to" he said back smirking
"Then yes I'd love to go for a walk with you" she said smiling and taking a sip of water as he grinned satisfied
"Peggy, Caitlyn, Mitchie, can we talk for a minute outside" Lola asked
"Sure" Mitchie said standing up "See you soon" she said all flirty rubbing her hand on his shoulders then walking out with the girl and Sander and Baron laughed.
"What's up" Mitchie asked and they all just looked at her
"You and Trevor" Caitlyn said
"You both flirt non-stop" Peggy confirmed
"Yeah, I have a boyfriend but I'm not all over him all the time" Lola said
"I'm not all over him okay. Nothing is wrong with harmless flirting" Mitchie said
"That is way past harmless Mitchie" Caitlyn said
"That's like I like you are you up to it flirting" Peggy agreed
"Like make a move already and hardcore flirting" Lola said
"No it's not look I'm moving on I can't trust HIM she said sourly
"You mean Shane Gray, the one you talked about all the time during the year" Caitlyn spoke
"There is a definite connection. Stop fighting it" Peggy stated
"I'm not fighting anything okay. I like Shane yeah but I can't trust anyone who lied to me. He can be the pop-star and I can be the girl who loves music. Plus Trevor is cute and he is easy to talk to. Stop trying to stop me from making a good decision or a bad one. I'll learn but I'm starting to like him so if you can't support me bud out" She says and walks back into the mess hall
"If he didn't quit singing" Caitlyn said to herself then she realizes a little too loud
"Who quit singing" Lola asked suspicious
"No one" Caitlyn said fast
"Caitlyn" Peggy said
"Fine I'll tell you. Well firstly me and Nate have been dating. So we have been keeping up on what's happening with Shane and Mitchie. Apparently today Shane snapped and well quit music. He said she brought it back and now she's gone and he can't feel it anymore. He is so in love with her it is sick. He said it in the texts I read and she made me delete it. Anyway he left, and they don't know where he is going. He might be coming here but not sure so yeah" Caitlyn said
"Oh My God" Peggy gasped
"Wow" Lola said "Really?"
"Yes Really. I'm not going to stop her from being happy and if it's with Trevor fine. However, I want to hope she makes the right one. The one that makes her happy. If he doesn't come here I don't know if he will for final jam either. We have to support her okay" Caitlyn said
"Definitely" Peggy agreed
"Yes, of course" Lola agreed
They walked back into the mess hall and finished eating lunch.
After last class Mitchie walked to her cabin alone for a few minutes. Peggy was meeting up with Sander. She figured they were together or close to it. She got to her cabin and picked out some clothed. She wanted casual yet movable, breathable, and comfortable clothes as she was going on a walk with Trevor. He was cute. She couldn't get ahead of her self but they were becoming good friends already.
She got changed into a pair of lulu lemon Capri pants. She put on a tank top and a black lulu sweater. She put on her flip flops and tied up her hair. She loved walking at Camp Rock it was so peaceful. Even with someone else comfortable silences are good too. She was about to toss her jeans to the floor when she remembered he cell phone. She took it out to see if Shane text back but he hadn't. Weird. Usually he would have a remark for that. Oh well maybe he came to a conclusion that a text of any words wouldn't fix this. If she only knew what actually happened.
She met Trevor where the docks and the beach meet. They got onto the dock and they started walking along the docks. It was such a comfortable silence they both didn't mind. They were almost halfway along the lake near the end of the dock when Trevor spoke
"It really is peaceful here isn't it?" He asks quietly
"Yeah it is. It's a great place to just think and get out of anything. There is no-one around along this paths that much. But the lake the trees everything is just so gorgeous like nothing else is close to it. It is like a small little planet that we get to experience." Mitchie replied
"Yeah it is so special. The sunrise from this point of view is gorgeous. I was out for a run today but when I got her I sat down and watched the sunrise." He said
"I was out for a run two. You must have been the one I saw running along the beach on your way back. I was so hot I jumped in the lake I was floating and I heard footsteps it was probably you" She said and he nodded. They were at then end and he walked out to the edge where the dock led into the water. He sat down and lets his feet graze the surface of the water.
Mitchie smiled and walked over and sat down. She slipped off her flips flops and felt her feet graze along the water feeling cool. She smiles as the sun was beaming onto the lake.
They sat there for a while in a comfortable silence. Mitchie was getting a little cold. It was starting into the evening. The sun was cooling down near the horizon. The lake and wind was sending her chills. She checked her watch and it was 20 minutes or so until dinner. They had been there for almost 2 hours. It seemed like 20 minutes. It was real nice just being able to lay there and be quiet. She knew she had had company but she enjoyed the silence with Trevor.
They had gone back and too dinner as everyone did. That night Mitchie didn't do much. She went back to her cabin after diner with the girls. They just talked and such. It was 7:30 and she got changed into her pajamas and sat on her bed writing in her song book. She was working stuff around it was better left unsaid.
Caitlyn got a text saying they didn't know where Shane was but he was with relatives and safe. She said goodnight to Nate and turned her phone off. It was about 8:30 when Mitchie let out a big yawn.
"I'm really tired" She said stretching closing her song book and putting it in the night stand drawer. Curling into her blankets
"Yeah let's get some sleep for tomorrow and camp fire jam" Peggy said getting into her bed as well
"Sounds good" Caitlyn said
"Okay night girls" Lola said turning off the light then crawling into her own bed.
"Night" the other three said and they drifted to sleep
Mitchie was the last to fall asleep. She was thinking about Shane. How much she liked him and how much fun they had together and the connection. She thought about pro and cons. She did the same with Trevor. She had pros and cons about times she had spent which each of them. She liked Shane. She knew that but knew she was starting to like Trevor. It was so completing. He brain finally go tired trying to figure stuff out and she fell asleep with many things to think about.
