The moment you've been waiting for, fictioneers! I have been so evil to keep Caitlyn's answer from you. I hope you forgive me by reading her important answer. I'm probably being evil by just writing this A/N instead of getting right to the story.
Let me just tell you, the Director's Cuts is out! Episode 1 and 2 are posted and I hope you enjoy those before reading this chapter because it's Jara's breakup and Camp Rock. But if you choose to read this before reading that, then do as you please.
I just want to say a big thank you to every supporter, reviewer, favoriter and alerter that has been reading this story. I want to say thank you to Going places for her friendship and support. Read her story, it's really good. Naitlyn- Bittersweet Melancholy. I swear I beg her for hints every 10 seconds.
I want to thank other Naitlyn storywriters who are my friends or supporters. And I want to thank my fans. In all my stories. Be it Camp Rock or Young Dracula etc, you've been great and helpful.
Now, without further ado, Chapter 12
I stood there breathless. Everyone stared at me waiting for an answer. Then I slowly nodded and found the courage to cry and answer. "Yes." I said boldly. Nate came up to me and put the ring on my finger. Everyone cheered and clapped. I kissed him and took a good look at the ring.
It was a small sapphire rock on a silver band and it sparkled beautifully in the light. "You must be really happy." Nate commented, wiping my tears. I realized I probably looked like a total wreck. I forgot about my tears for a moment. I wiped my cheeks and on my hands were black smudges. I laughed and asked Mitch and Mara to help me redo my makeup.
We went into the ladies loo and I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I cast my glance down to the ring which now laid on top of my Promise Ring. I took the ring off and took the promise one off too. I put the Promise Ring on my right ring finger and placed my engagement ring on my left.
Mitchie came over with a wet paper towel and wiped my cheeks. Mara got her makeup kit out of her handbag and did my makeup. In fifteen minutes, I was looking like I wasn't crying. I fixed my hair and grinned at the band which was going to change my life.
"You're so lucky!" Mitchie exclaimed, hugging me. "I am so maid of honor right?" She asked, winking. Mara cleared her throat and I hugged her too, grinning.
"Sorry, Cornelia called dibs. Since I was at hers it only makes sense that she is at mine." I replied. They nodded in understanding.
"Yeah, it does make sense." Mara shrugged. I took in her appearance. Is it me or has Mara gone goth? She is wearing a trilby hat with gold studs at the border line, a black corset, black jeans and black Doc Martins. "What?" She asked when she saw me staring at her.
"What happened to writing on tees and Vans?" I asked, turning her around to get a good look.
"Oh. I still wear those but Mel's goldfish died. It was a sad moment. Then I remembered your party because I was called at last minute and all so here I am, dressed in black, looking like Death's wife." She smiled brightly.
"Awh. Tell Mel that I send my condolences." Mitchie said, smiling too.
"And mine." I grinned.
"Yeah...There's no dead goldfish." Mara admitted. "I have turned goth. I still wear Vans but not all the time. I have decided to ditch the bright tees." She said. O. M. G. This is what happens when you leave your friends! "Well not too goth but colorful but goth... I'm not making sense. Whatever." She shrugged. Mitchie just nodded. I could care less. Wait..I care! Us three own a fashion line called 'Rain Bow' and if two of us are wearing rainbows there's no point in the whole thing!
My phone rang and to be honest I was happy so I couldn't care less who was calling. I answered and heard the voice I didn't want to hear. My happiness dampened.
"Hello, Caitlyn Alice." Jacob greeted.
"Hello, Jacob." I said. "Is there something you want?"
"Happy Birthday. My little princess is 19. She's growing up to become a young woman." He said.
I pursed my lips and raised an eyebrow. "I am not your little princess, Jacob. Didn't you get the message? I do NOT want you calling me or anybody else. You should just move on and stop harassing me!" I said. Mitchie and Mara locked the bathroom door so nobody could get in.
"Please, just come over. I am ill and I just want to see you and Jesse. Please. I have something to give you. Just..." He paused to cough fiercely. "Just come. I promise when you come that you two will get that closure and I will leave you be. I won't ever call or drop in unexpected." He said.
I sighed and rubbed my head. "Ok. I will see you on Saturday with Jesse and my friends. No offence but if my friends are there with us, I will feel comfortable and restrain myself from punching your fucking face." I replied
smiling. Mara snickered a bit and high-fived me.
"Whatever you want. Goodbye now." He cancelled the call. The dude didn't even let me say my mean goodbye. I sighed and put my phone in my bag. I fixed my hair and sighed. Saturday was going to be eventful.
Right now I was in Nate's car. It was just us. We were going to Jacob's house and I was silent the whole way there. Nate tried to get me to talk. He was going on and on about if I wanted Jacob to know that we were engaged and I just shrugged. I knew I was kinda pissing Nate off but it's not everyday people go to get closure on a part of their lives is it?
Jesse went with Shane, Jason, Mitchie and Mara in Jason's SUV. We were about a couple of yards away from the house and my heart was leaping in all directions. Sure, I've spoken to Jacob but I haven't seen him since the 'Black Eye Day'. See? That day has a special name now.
I hadn't realized the car stopping and Nate going out. I sat there, seatbelt on, staring at my engagement ring. I had to tell Jacob to show him that somebody did find me beautiful and love me and treated me better than he did. I pressed the eject button and opened the door, getting out. Jesse came over and slung an arm around my shoulders and my arm went around his waist as I leaned into him, walking up the walk-path to the house I once called home.
Jesse rang the doorbell and we waited. A short while later a very ill Jacob opened the door. My stomach lurched and Jesse and I stood there frozen. I broke the ice with a comment. "Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you were ill. What is it? Cancer? Liver failure? And you expect us to fall at a dying man's feet and find 'closure'." I stared at him, disgusted.
"I think it is better if you did find closure, Caitlyn Alice." Jacob coughed.
"I barely even fucking know you so, I just came here to support my sister." Jesse said, tightening his grip on me. I ran my left hand through my hair and I saw Jacob follow the ring's shine.
"I'm sorry to you too, Jesse. I could have been your father." Jacob apologized.
"And a bad one at that too." I said, smirking. I saw him looking at my hand. "See something interesting, Jacob?" I asked.
"Who's the lucky guy?" He asked. Did he not see Nate or my friends standing behind us? Well, Jesse is tall, no denying but there's five freakin' people there.
"Nate and no you're not invited." I replied, harshly. "May we go in? It's quite chilly out here and you said you had something to give us?" I asked, walking past him and in. Jesse pushed his shoulder and walked in. I know we were acting rude but come on! This guy took my childhood from me.
"Here." He said, handing me and Jesse each keys. "Caitlyn Alice, I give you my house in Italy. It's close to your grandparents. Jesse Noah, I give you my yacht house and speed boat. Those are my most treasured belongings, costing about over 7 million. And for your sister, Cornelia Jacqueline, I give her my other mansion in Italy. Tell her to have a safe birth because I know that she wouldn't want me to ever see her child." Jesse and I stared at the objects in our hands. "Cait... Nate's a good guy, he's lucky to have someone as wonderful and beautiful as you. Congratulations on your engagement, sweetheart. Jesse? I'm proud of you because you managed to become the man of the house and protect your mother and your sisters. Thank you. I wish you well in the future and I apologise for any horrible, disgusting thing I have done to you." He apologizes.
I scratched my head and stuffed the two sets of keys in my handbag. "If that is all, we should be leaving. I have meetings and I'm sure everyone else is pretty busy. Thank you and goodbye. I hope your death is not too painful." I said, awkwardly.
We left and I started sobbing on Nate's car. Nate hugged me and stroked my hair.
"It's... Why did he do that?" I sobbed.
"I don't know. You'll be ok, babe." Nate replied, kissing my head. I hugged him tighter and sighed happily.
Sorry that was short. I'm on holiday and I have to sort out stuff for my cousin's wedding which is next week! I am so excited. I hope this makes up for it but the next chapter will make up for everyday I'm not updating this or D/C.
