My Past and My Future Collide

Chapter 26: Mitchie

It was around one when Mitchie woke up again to see Caitlyn sitting in her mom's cabin. She sighed rubbing her sore eyes and sat up in the bed still a little sleepy.

"Hi" Mitchie said and Caitlyn looked up from her book

"Hey" Caitlyn said quietly putting her book down and walking over to the bed sitting with Mitchie

"You heard?" She asked

"Not completely" Caitlyn responded

"Oh okay" Mitchie replied

"I'm so sorry" Caitlyn said hugging Mitchie who hugged back too

They friends sat there for a little while hugging each other. Caitlyn felt bad for Mitchie and Shane. They love each other and Nate said they gave up that's not like them.

"Thanks" Mitchie said finally breaking apart

"I just don't understand are you two giving up?" She asks in a caring tone

"We don't want to but we have to" She said confusing Caitlyn

"If you want it to work you just have to try you can't give up" Caitlyn said

"Caitlyn he won't forgive me" she said quietly

"Mitchie he loves you, he will forgive you" Caitlyn reassured her

"He won't Caitlyn. He said he loved me and I went and found a boyfriend and everything. He won't forgive me for that. I have been denying my feeling all along he won't forgive me for that either." He stated

"Well he did you do anything like that" Caitlyn asked

"I don't know. Do you think he found someone else?" Mitchie asked

"No I doubt it" Caitlyn said "But you are hurting now realizing you finally like him you should really tell him

"I don't like him Caitlyn" Mitchie said in a quiet voice

"You don't?" Caitlyn asked almost shocked

Mitchie shook her head tears surfacing in her eyes "I love him" he says quietly and Caitlyn just sits there

"You do?" She asked

"I do" Mitchie said crying

"Mitchie you have to tell him you feel the same way" Caitlyn says

"But after we tell each other our summers we won't" She stated

"Then try something" Caitlyn said

"Maybe, it's easier to give up though" She said matter-of-factly

"It is but love isn't easy its worth fighting for" Caitlyn said

"Maybe ours isn't though" Mitchie stated "I want to think it is but I just don't see it" Mitchie said

"I guess" Caitlyn said finally agreeing "So do you want to practice later tonight?" Caitlyn asked

"Sure, I think I'm going to go for a walk or a run or something though" Mitchie said

"Alright I will see you at dinner" Caitlyn asked

"Yeah bye and thank you" Mitchie said

"You are welcome" Caitlyn said leaving quietly and Mitchie sighed

Mitchie sighed sitting up in bed. Their love wasn't worth fighting for was it? It seemed so hard the summer was so complicated and it is only half way through. If they got through the next few days it would be so easy. Then they would just fade and drift away from each other. However you never forget your first love right? For Mitchie it was Shane and if she never forgot him that could be a disaster completely.

Mitchie slowly made her way to her cabin to change out of her current pajamas. She got to her cabin changing into an aqua blue tank top and white Capri pants. She slipped on blue flip flops grabbed her iPod then left her cabin. She wanted to go for a walk with music she just didn't want to run.

Mitchie turned on her iPod as she started walking around camp. She was heading towards the far end of the beach then she would walk all the way to the end of the docks and back. She was actually feeling depressed at that very moment. Tears formed in her eyes as she let her hair fall on either side of her face shielding her face.

She looked up near the winding path to see Shane's cabin right there and sighed heavily. All the curtains were pulled and it was very still and quiet. Her tears started to fall. Was he as sad as she was? Of course he was right? She sighed wanting to so badly knock on the door. She swore her feet almost dragger her there but she averted them to continue walking towards the beach as much as they rather go up his porch steps.

She was walking near the water when she reached the one end of the beach. She sighed as she tied her hair up getting sweaty as it was a hot day. It was hot even though there was a slight chill wind coming down from the lake. She was listening to music trying to clear her mind through the songs.

She had so many things happen this summer and she was a hot mess. Now she was all alone except for her friends and family but the one piece she knew she always needed was gone. He was gone for good. At least it seemed like this. Her world was shattered and the beginning. It got better and in less the 12 hours of finally feeling content it shattered all over again.

She was hurt when Shane wasn't coming to camp for the while time like she original thought and that he never said anything different. She wanted to forgive him she really did but it was so much easier to hate him after that. She held onto the grudge denying her feelings the whole time. There was always there but she wanted them to disappear so she tried to force them away for them to just spring back up.

After she found out he wasn't coming she met Trevor. They became pretty good friends fast. He was very easy for her to talk to and trust. They soon got closer until he finally asked her to be his girlfriend and no-one was disagreeing to that, well in their face. Caitlyn just wanted her to be happy but Connie, her own mom, wished she was with Shane. Anyway Mitchie liked Trevor so she accepted to be his girlfriend and that last for a couple of weeks and Mitchie kept fighting her original feelings.

She decided to write a song expressing how she is forgetting Shane because she thought that would help with forgetting him yet it didn't and lots of people came up with question. She wrote a song called 'picture to burn' suggesting Shane was someone to just forget. Well she wanted that but she couldn't.

Trevor finally had to question about this and found out that they had a thing but she was over him, little did he know as much as she convinced him she was still trying to convince herself. Mitchie one day become pretty upset and stayed in bed. This brought a whole other problem to her. Aaron.

Aaron was honestly the hottest male counselor to set foot on the grounds except for Shane of course. They had met awkwardly one night when she was dared to ask him for a condom. She then bumped into him when she was only in a bikini and well he really likes landing on top of her. Well he overheard Caitlyn telling Trevor Mitchie was staying in bed and Aaron took the change and went to Mitchie's cabin.

She let him in and he sat there comforting him even though she wouldn't tell him what was really bothering her because he was part of the problem. Somehow he ended up on top of her trying to shove his tongue in her mouth. On instinct she wrapped her legs around his waist then pushed away. However it was too late as she heard the slam of the screen door and saw her boyfriend running off.

She ran after him catching up to him at the end of the docks. That ended horrible. The last thing he told her was what she said to Shane. He told her he couldn't trust her and she knew then how Shane would've felt when Mitchie told him that. It cut like a knife and yeah it hurt a lot. No wonder Shane didn't want to speak to her anymore at that point and she couldn't blame him.

After a while Trevor overheard Aaron and Mitchie fighting about what happened. Aaron saying he was attracted and all this stuff anyway they got back together and everything was now going good again until that faithful Saturday night when the one she wanted to forget about appeared. Worst part was it was her birthday and that made it worse.

Shane saw her and Trevor kissing on the beach so instead of giving her the present he hand-made for her to her he gave it to Caitlyn to make sure Mitchie opened it. When she did she was mad. He claimed he loved her and all this stuff and it really upset her. The next day she confronted him and told him she hated him and yet Aaron had a plan.

Aaron noticed her at the cabin then lied to Trevor saying all this crap and that ended his and Mitchie's relationship. Mitchie relived her heart break of Austin the asshole she liked in grade 10. Anyway Aaron confronted her and tried to kiss her and that well she was not having that. Eventually she decided to look through the book Shane gave her.

She finally admitted to herself she loved him and now she really couldn't deny her feelings to herself anymore and that was that. She talked to Shane again and she forgave him about the very first part of summer. They agreed they would talk out their summers. They were going to when Mitchie realized Shane would never forgive her for everything she did.

Shane lived over his summer in a matter of second before they were about to talk about it. How would or could Mitchie forgive him when he had claimed to love her then went and kissed Jenny multiple times. They decided to forget it thinking being friends would not work. They said goodbye and now this is where brought her to where she currently is and just relived all this memories. Her summer was a fucked up one and now she lost him, the wanted she wanted the one she needed Shane.

She was now heading back towards her cabin. It was about an hour after she started walking. She stepped onto the dock where they should've been meeting at 7 but that wasn't happening anymore. She sighed because as soon as she stepped onto it her iPod decided to be evil. Gotta find you started to play. Shane had recorded a slight version of it on his phone when he sang it for her and he sent it to her and she put it on her iPod.

She listened to it as she started closer to her cabin. She spotted his yet again as the song was finishing. She needed him she really wanted him to. She loved him and he loved her yet he would never be hers.

"I need you Shane I will not be satisfies until you mine…until your mine" She repeated as her eyes suddenly went wide. She took off running at full speed passing many confused looking faces. She didn't know how she had this much energy but she had 3 days till final jam and she knew what she had to do.

She got to her cabin no-one there yet and sat on her bed slipping off her flip-flops. She sat on her bed unplugging her iPod. She then grabbed her song book and started writing. She had a song in her head and this was what she had to do. She tapped her pencil and foot to a beat as she came up with lyrics and a tune. She then started playing a bit on her guitar singing her lyrics. It was getting to be perfect. She looked at the clock to see it was 5:45 she had been working for hours and Caitlyn would probably be freaking out.

She put her guitar down and was about to put her song book away when she saw Caitlyn walk in.

"Hey" Caitlyn said changing her shoes

"Hi" Mitchie said slightly smiling

"Are you coming to dinner?" Caitlyn asked

"Yeah I am" Mitchie said then Caitlyn noticed the song book

"Working on our final jam Piece" Caitlyn asked

"Caitlyn, I know we were going to do the song I wrote called Here We Go Again but I just wrote another one and if you can make a mix I would really like to sing that, I need to sing it actually" Mitchie said biting her lip.

"What Mitchie it is in 3 days" Caitlyn said exasperated

"I know but can you read the song and decided after I wrote down a bit of a tune I would like we can try after dinner and if it is impossible we will do here we go again?" Mitchie asked

"Fine, but I don't know if will be possible but I will try" Caitlyn stated

"THANK YOU!" Mitchie said hugging Caitlyn tight

"Alright now let's eat" Caitlyn said quietly

A/N: That is that. I know it was shorter than usual and kind of boring and recapping on everything that had happened through the story so her summer and that was the main part of this chapter. Next chapter it Shane so it explains his summer and other things about his song and such so it is crucial to read it as well. I am recapping it for the set-up of the next three chapters. The summer doesn't come back into their conversation just needed all of you to understand what happened to get them to where they are and exactly why they said 'goodbye' For good or did they? Anyway you will find out if they do the song chapter 28 so please read 4 more chapters till it is over. Don't be too sad. If you have read the last two chapters I was asking what story I should write next and I have the winner. A vote of 8-1 the winner is and story I am writing next is… (DRUMROLL)

Just your average guy right?...wrong

Mitchie Torres is ready to leave New York at the age of 20 and has sent out flyers for jobs all over the United States and lands a sweet deal. A job teaching a teenage girl the joy of piano and music, piece of cake right? WRONG. One problem, she is rich and into everything but music. Mitchie moves to Palm Springs living in now an extravagant house as Palm Beach is very rich. Besides just teaching music he meets a guy, Shane Gray. He is a rich member of the Palm Springs. Girls are always acting so when he meets Mitchie who is new he starts over. He introduces himself as Shane. He doesn't tell her or lead on that he is rich, basically hiding one side of him to her. When she finds out does that change everything and had romance already blossomed. He is just no average guy but was that just it was she just and average girl?

So there it is. I hope you will all continue reading my stories. That will be posted as Just Your Average guy (TITLE SHORTENED) and after I finish two more one-shots. If you haven't checked them out do so. They are Smitchie from start to finish. Anyway please read and review this chapter. It is coming to a close. Sorry for errors and keep reading.
