Thanks everyone for the reviews. I love getting reviews. When I started this story I was surprised the next morning to find on my e-mail to find 30 e-mails about reviews, story alerts, favorite authors and all that stuff. I just wanted to say a big thank-you. Here's chapter 3 of The Reason That I'm Singing.
The next day no matter how much I didn't want it to happen Shane had to leave back to New York for an interview with the label and I had to leave to school. Shane had already left and I was putting my homework in my back pack. Later that day I came home to find Caitlyn up in my room pacing while talking on the phone. When she saw me her eyes grew big.
"I gotta go. Bye." She quickly hung up the phone.
"Who were you talking to?"
"Nobody. So how did school go?"
"I know you were talking to somebody and don't say that you sound like my mom."
Caitlyn giggled. I suddenly launched next to her and grabbed the phone.
"Mitchie!"
I ran down the stairs while punching the outgoing calls button. The newest one was the name Nate.
"Mitchie! Give me my phone!"
I gave it to her.
"I didn't know you talked to Nate."
"Nate who?"
"Don't try and play tricks I looked at the latest calls and the latest was named Nate."
"There are a lot of Nate's in the world."
"Yes, but I have Nate's number and these 2 numbers are the same!"
"Okay. I was calling about that interview they had today,"
"Liar."
My mom wasn't home yet because she had a catering job today so we sat down on the couch and flipped the TV on.
"My mom won't be home till late so what do you want to order?"
"What's the choice?"
"Well, there's Pizza, Chinese, and Mexican."
"I haven't had Mexican in 2 weeks."
"I'll order Mexican then."
The rest of the week passed and it was soon Friday night and we were leaving to go see the guys concert. We were let in and I left to Shane's dressing room while Caitlyn went to Nate's. When I got to Shane's dressing room his door was closed. I silently opened it to see Shane standing in front of the mirror straightening his hair.
"Why don't you leave it curly?"
He jumped at the sound of someone else's voice in his dressing room.
"Mitchie, you scared me."
"Pop Star. Are you going to answer my question?"
"Oh, fine but you are going to have to fix my hair."
"Deal."
A few minutes later we heard the intercom announce for Shane to come to the stage. I followed him there. Caitlyn and I stood by the stage and danced along to the music. I was surprised when they were about to start the last song Shane announced that I would be singing This Is Me with him. I had no clue when he came over and took me on stage. At first I was nervous but after a minute felt confident. When we finished the song the crowd was cheering like crazy. I ran off the stage hyped up. I couldn't stop jumping. After the concert we went out to eat. When we got in the car I Shane was driving and I was sitting next to him. In the back Nate, Caitlyn, and Jason were sitting. About half the way there I looked back to see Nate's arm securely around Caitlyn and her head leaning on him. I awed silently in my head. They were such a cute couple. If I told Caitlyn that she would probably say that they were not dating, but clearly they were. When we got to the restaurant we all sat down in a booth even though there was 5 of us. I looked at the restaurant. They had put a dance floor in since I had been to eat there. After we ordered our food I looked at Shane while a familiar Connect 3 song came on. He was laughing.
"We sound the best! Don't you think?"
"Jerk." I said sarcastically.
After we ate we all danced. Since Jason didn't have anyone to dance with Caitlyn and I took turns with him. The boys had to drop us off and leave not too long afterward because they had an interview with the label in the morning. We were going to eat breakfast while watching them on Hot Tunes. _
The next morning Caitlyn and I were eating our omelets when Hot Tunes came on. We took a break from eating to watch it.
"So Nate. I know Shane has a girlfriend but what about you?"
Nick looked as if he was thinking intently.
"Well, yes. Actually I do."
I looked over at Caitlyn. She was smiling freakishly. I could tell she was glad he decided to tell everyone he was dating her. I smiled at her then turned back to the television screen.
"So, what is her name?"
"Her name is Caitlyn Gellar."
"What does she look like?"
"She has beautiful brown curly hair. She's tan and has soft brown eyes."
I could tell Nate was happy. He had a gleam in his eyes.
"Well I'm happy for you two. And for you Shane how is Mitchie?"
"She's perfect. We are soon going to have our first date."
"Oh... You haven't had it yet?"
"No. I wanted to wait till I had everything perfect."
"How nice. Well, this is the end of our talk with Connect 3. We will see everyone next time."
I looked back at Caitlyn. She was still grinning madly. I decided to go upstairs and call Shane. I punched in his number and on the second ring he answered.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Did you hear what Nate said?"
"Yea. Now Caitlyn is sitting down there on the couch grinning madly."
He chuckled.
"Well, you better be grinning madly and getting ready because tonight is the best night you will ever have."
After what he said I was grinning madly. We talked a little longer mostly me trying to get him to tell me where we were going. Then I hung up and decided to lay out my dress. A few minutes later Caitlyn came upstairs.
"Do you want me to help you get ready?"
"Sure. If you want to."
"Oh, don't worry I will make you dazzling by the time Shane gets here. Now go get in the shower!"
"Caitlyn! It's only 10."
"Yes, but the more time we gave the more dazzling I can make you look."
She pushed me into the bathroom with a robe and closed the door. I tried the door but she pushed herself against it and I couldn't get out. Then, I took a shower. I finally tried to open the door and thankfully I could get out. I looked around to find her sorting make-up. She looked up and saw me. Caitlyn came over to me and mad me drop my stuff and then pulled me into a chair. She started putting make-up on me like we were in a rush.
"Caitlyn! We are not in a rush."
"Yes, we are. After all the time you spent pondering in the bathroom it's already 10:30."
"Yes, it's only 10:30. He's picking me up at 5 because it takes an hour to get there."
"Stop talking. Your messing up your lip gloss."
"I let her put make-up on me then she turned my chair around and looked at me like she was inspecting if I was good enough or not. Then, she pulled the towel off my head and started on my hair."
"Ow! Caitlyn! Be gentle with my hair!"
She straightened my hair and styled my bangs to the side. She then, helped me into my dress and shoes and put jewelry on me. I was almost done by 1 and very tired of being pulled around.
I know you guys hate me for leaving you like this but you'll get the rest of the getting ready part in the next chapter. Sorry about all these lines but Fan fiction was being weird! Please review! Remember if you leave a signed review I will send you a spoiler for the next chapter!
