Broken Girl Chapter 16, a camp rock fanfic

Can't get something out of my mind. Needa write fics! Going crazy. Want to know why? One Direction's Zayn Malik is getting married to Little Mix's Perrie Edwards and IDC! My friend loves both of their bands so she ended up texting me that 'OMG ZAYN AND PERRIE, ENGAGED!' I reply: 'I don't care, Simmi x Luv u but not a fan of either bands. I'm more Jo Bros and Bastille and Imagine Dragons lover'

Sorry to stress that on you. If you love 1D or LM, just remember, I'm not a fan :) But if you love Jonas Brothers, OMG, I'm a big fan! Now it's January 1st, Mara's birthday which is never celebrated, but why?

BTW Mara's house was created by me on The Sims 3. I had recently installed new game stuff and it included spiral stairs. I created it from scratch by myself and I'm proud. When I'm on next, I'll take pictures and show them to you :) BTW I don't think I'm a good house created but I'm alright, probably share them on the Sims 3 exchange. It's four levels in total which includes basement. Basement is actually just a indoor movie theatre and small bathroom. Upstairs is the main entrance, living room, garage etc. Upstairs, 4 bedrooms to fit Mara's family. Master bedroom, two girls rooms and one boy's. family bathroom included and Mara's bedroom has a ladder which leads up to her own bathroom which is installed just on top of her bedroom. The spiral stairs up from this level is the attic. The attic also includes a bathroom because it's like a home gym, play room.

I also made Mitchie's house and Caitlyn's.

Oh my gosh! It's everywhere. Twitter. Magazines. Hot Tunes. MTV. When Nate and I came out with our engagement last night, girls were screaming so loud that one literally hugged us. Like, death hugged us. It took two security guards to get her of us. Nate ended up giving her a autograph and a proper hug. I just chatted to her, casually.

It's been tweeted on both our twitter accounts and everyone has been supportive. There were some who dissed me because they were 'in love' with Nate. Shane just laughed at us when he read them out. Some, let's say, were not appropriate to be tweeted.

Today well, another thing is being tweeted. Mara, Mitchie and I took a picture of us being silly and posted it on Mara's Twitter. She tweeted: 'My birthday today! Us girls just hanging out, eating pancakes at mine.'. Loads of girls wished her a happy birthday. Some asked if her and Jason were getting back together because of their 'close' relationship. When she read these, she blushed. Something definitely is up.

If you're wondering, why hasn't Mara ever told us about her birthday? Simple. She's Chinese and she has this tradition. Don't really know what it is. I sang her a happy birthday in both Italian and German and she burst out laughing in the German version. If you want to hear that version, Google it!

I put it on Hot Tunes and we sat eating breakfast in Mara's living room.

"Hello! Welcome to Hot Tunes. As you all know what's been re-Tweeted lately, Naitlyn's Engagement. The couple announced their engagement last night even though we kinda knew it was true. On Boxing Day, the couple were seen shopping for baby stuff for Caitlyn's big sister, Cornelia, who had her beautiful baby girl on Christmas Day. Here as you can see, close up, there's a sapphire rock on Caitlyn's left ring finger and her Promise Ring is now on her right." A picture showed us walking to the store and me and my head itch. "They looked so cute in their matching brown leather jackets and sunglasses. The couple bumped into Axl Turner and his 20 year old daughter, Dana. The two were happily chatting away with Dana and her father until it was time to go. Then we saw Caitlyn holding up her hand to Dana and Dana acting excited about their engagement. We don't have any info on when their Big Day is but we do have cute photos of the couple last night at Times Square where Caitlyn went to support future hubby while he performed with band, Connect 3. Speaking of Connect 3, their new album was out last night too so grab that and rock that stage!

Another Tweeting story is Mara Paves's, or Mazzy P onstage, birthday! It's the bassist and rapper's 20th birthday today and it is said that her best friends have a huge gift for her. We all wonder what it is! And we will find out when the classy trio come to our studio for a interview in a couple of days. And another thing we're all wondering is, is she and Jason Gray from Connect 3 back together? The two are found in public as really 'close' and 'private' of their relationship status. It's hard to tell really because one minute they would be sitting really close and having deep conversations between each other and the next they would sit apart and have chats with other people.

Back to 'Naitlyn Engagement'. Some people are really supportive of their news as you can read, it says on this tweet; 'Oh ma gosh! Caitlyn and Nate are getting married?! I knew they would. Perfect for each other.' and on another; 'This is the best news I have ever heard! I was about to die if Nate didn't pop the question! When did they get engaged?!'. And we have the answer to that! They got engaged on Caitlyn's 19th birthday and I know, Jesse Wynwood fans, it's unfair for Caitlyn to steal the thunder on their birthday but it was for a good reason. Jesse gave the okay and wanted his sister to have the greatest birthday ever even if it meant having the spotlight off of him.

Still on the Wynwood news, Cornelia Wynwood-Stacy gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on 25th December. Both mother and baby are doing great and Cornelia is being released from hospital soon. Baby Fiona Rae weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and is a blessing to father who is actor, Tim Stacy. Family and friends have been seen visiting the new parents and their child throughout the week, including Cornelia's brother and sister and mother and Tim's family who got back from their vacation a couple of days ago.

So, that's all! Happy Birthday Mazzy P and I have been Jessica Bonne and this has been Hot Tunes, stay tuned!"

Woah that was interesting. Mitchie, Mara and I all crowded in front of my laptop to read the tweets about my engagement.

'Congrats Nate and Cait. My favorite couple! Hey, does this mean Shane and Mitchie are getting married?' -Naitlyn,Smitchie,JaraLOVER

We laughed when we read the end. The answer to that is...maybe. Or not. Shrug.

'I can't believe this! Nate and I were meant to be! I hate you Caitlyn.' -NateGray&Iweremeant2b

I burst out laughing. Hey, he asked, I answered. Just happened to be a yes.

'Look after Nate for us Caitlyn. I trust you to be the perfect girl for him. Hey, at least you ain't Alex Russo. Hate that b*tch.' -It'sDarlaDarlings!

'I think you both have sexy voices and together you would sound amazing. You should make a song together for your wedding waltz!' -BaybeeTreasureAllie.

We would have to think about that. I do want to sing the song to our first dance. Should ask Nate later.

'I hope you're like that b*tch Alex Russo cuz I hate your f*ckin guts Caitlyn.' -DepressedLover

My eyes widened and I smiled. I shouldn't take these hate tweets to heart because look at their names. It's so stupid and funny. I decided to stop reading the tweets and write a song. In an hour I was done.

"Hey, is that a new song?" Mitchie asked, turning on Mara's iPod shuffle. I nodded. "Cool, can we hear because I know you have a new mix tucked somewhere in that music file of yours." Mitchie sat back down and crossed her legs. Mara came back from the kitchen and put our drinks on the table.

"Fine." I said, opening my book again. I clicked a few things on my laptop and waited for the intro to come on.

Yo, my best friend, best friend 'til the very end
Cause best friends, best friends don't have to pretend

I finished and waited for their reactions. Mara's was a tear roll down from her face and Mitchie's was a large grin.

"Fan-tas-tic!" Mara exclaimed. I hugged them both and told them what they would sing. we sang it again but this time with the addition of Mazz and Mitchie.

"I love you guys." Mara sighed happily. Mitchie and I stole glances and Mara noticed this. "This was my gift, right? A song?" She asked.

"Not exactly, but hey, if you want, you can name it a gift." I smiled. Mara rolled her eyes playfully and laughed.

"What bad thing have you two devils cooked up?" She asked. Mitchie and I grinned.

"Oh. Nothing." Mitchie replied, flicking her hand in a 'never mind' matter.

"Jessica said that you had something big for me. Tell me!" She exclaimed, jumping on the sofa where I sat and got her fingers out and started to tickle me. I laughed and shook my head every time she said, 'tell me.'. The doorbell rang and Mitchie stood up to answer.

"A delivery for a Miss. Mara Paves." Said a man's voice at the door. Mitchie thanked the guy and closed the door behind her. She came back with a huge box and a smaller one on top. She handed them to Mara who eyed it suspiciously.

"What is it?" She asked.

"We don't know that's why we're looking at you to open them, silly!" I said, moving her hands to rest on top of the smaller box. Mara did the rest of the job and opened it. It revealed dark blue Doc Martens. Mara gasped and squealed.

"Who's it from?" Mitchie asked, looking for a card or something. She found one and handed it to Mara. Mara read out aloud.

"'Dear Marolina, I'm very sorry for disrespecting your boyfriend. Your father told me that you two are no more. I hope you can forgive me. I know you've wanted this since forever when you were little and wearing your mother's heels. Enjoy this and I'm sorry. Love, Grandmother.'" Mara's eyes became watery and she took a deep breath before opening the bigger box. I think she knew what it contained already by the awe she was eyeing the box.

Her hands were shaky and she opened the box. Mitchie and I leaned our heads in to see what it was. Inside laid a navy blue kimono with cherry blossom decoration. Mara choked back a sob and ran her fingers through the border. Her black nails brushed against the waist line. Mitchie and I gasped in awe.

"I...I've always wanted a kimono. It belonged to my mother's grandmother, my great grandmother. She was killed in a raid in our village. Well, not mine, my grandmother's. Grandmother wore this at her 20th birthday. So did my mother. Now, it's passed down to me." She started to cry as memories flooded her mind. Mitchie laid a comforting hand on her back and I rubbed her arm.

Mara suddenly got up and ran to the little hallway which included spiral stairs to go upstairs. We followed her and went up another set of spiral stairs to get into the attic. Mara turned the switch on and eyed the small, perfumy space. She spotted a suitcase and ran to it. She opened it and got out a little box. She opened it and it revealed a sparkly diamond sapphire necklace. "My Great-Grandmother's." She explained. It was so beautiful and I knew what Mara wanted to do. She was going to wear the kimono and necklace today.

"That's so beautiful." Mitchie cried. I nodded, smiling softly. "Well...Let's sleep until Mara's big present is presented. Seriously, Cait, you and Nate kept us all up because fans were screaming, 'OMG! They're getting married!'." Mitchie said in a ridiculously squeaky voice to imitate the girl fans. I laughed and got a blanket from the suitcase and walked down the stairs to Mara's bedroom. Mara's bedroom was small but big enough to fit a plasma TV, single bed, laptop and desk and walk-in wardrobe.

I laid the blanket on the floor and Mitchie sat down on it, me following.

Mara chucked us both pillows and we put them on the blanket. We then settled down on the sheets or bed and closed our eyes, still talking to each other but getting drowsy by the seconds. I found myself in a deep sleep.

...

I looked around, orange was everywhere. I tried screaming out to someone to help me but I received no answer. I stumbled over a fallen bottle of soap and my T-Shirt caught on flames. It was only on my arms though. I screamed and got the towel and started whacking my arms. The flames died down, leaving my arms scorched in black and my top sticking to my arms. I moaned in pain and went to open the window.

The window was stuck and I had to punch the glass. I was strong, I know... There was now a huge hole formed in the window and I wrapped a towel around my bleeding hand. I groaned in pain and used my feet to do the remaining of the job. It was not easy trying to kick hard glass while clutching your f-ing bleeding hand in a towel which so happens to be your favourite neon pink towel.

I dropped the towel and called out. Coughing and gagging, I called out for help. I got the attention of my sister and she ran off. I heard a crack and looked to where the source was coming from. I gasped and I was knocked unconscious.

...

Pitch Black. Was I dead. I stood up. Everywhere was black; I couldn't really see anything. I called out for anyone. No-one answered. I looked at my arms and saw them red and burnt with blood everywhere. My clothes were black and I was barefooted.

What was going on? I felt my head and brought my hand down. Blood. Blood was everywhere now. The black room was filled with blood. All oozing right to where I was, like fire spreading. It was surrounding me, almost as if they wanted to eat me.

I tried stepping on the blood but it burnt me. I pulled my foot back in pain. I closed my eyes, wanting this to stop. I opened them again and saw that the blood disappeared. It turned into fire. There was blue, purple, orange, red and yellow flames surrounding me. It was closing up on me. I screamed as a slither of blood mixed in fire slashed my arm. I wrapped my arms and turned around, trying to be as defensive as I could.

I saw that I was failing to save myself and now the blood was a centimetre away from my feet. I gasped as I felt the hotness and I melted into a pool of nothing.

...

I awoke in a white room. I stood up. Everywhere was white. I looked at myself. My arms were normal. No scars. My clothes were white and I was barefooted. I walked around and when I would get near a corner, I was shocked. Like a electrical current was going through me. The electricity stopped for now and I sat down waiting for something.

I don't know, anything. I heard crackling behind me and turned my head and body to see. It was fire. And it was coming straight at me. I stood up and ran. I found that the room was getting bigger as I ran and ran.

I tried trying to outsmart the fire but it always caught up with me. I looked back then forward. I saw in black bold letters; 'FIRE'. I was so confused now. What was going on. I tripped on something but when I looked down. Nothing was there. The fire was catching up with me and I needed to run away as fast. Just as I was about to get up, another jolt of electricity shot through my organs. I gasped in pain and the fire caught up with me. It crawled up my leg and when it overtook my body in flames. I passed out.

...

I woke up to a soft but rough voice, whispering. I looked up and saw...Jacob?

"Hey, you're awake." He pushed a strand of curly hair behind my ear. Wait, curly hair? I looked around the room. It was the bedroom I had once occupied in the Gellar house. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion and sat up. I realized I was naked so I pulled the sheets to cover myself. Jacob stopped me. "What are you doing?" He asked. I shook my head and jumped out of bed. Only then I realized he was also naked. I gasped and tears filled my eyes.

He stood up and slapped me. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked me. I swallowed hard and tried to push past him. I could have used Karate but he was stronger than me. He kept hissing and spitting words at me. "Slut. Whore. Bitch." I cried and cried, trying to get out of his hold on me.

"Leave me alone!" I cried. Jacob had a personality change.

"Hey..." He pushed my chin up. "Don't cry. I'm sorry. Look, it's me and you forever, right?" I turned my head and let tears fall. "Right?" He turned my head back to face him then he kissed me. "Right?" He asked again. I didn't respond. He slapped me hard and pushed me back onto the bed. He ripped the sheets off my body and came on top of me. I lied there like a slug. I was scared and frightened yet I didn't do anything. I closed my eyes shut, tightly as he lowered his lips onto mine. I saw blackness and couldn't scream.

...

I shot up from the blanket and saw Mitchie and Mara staring at me with wide eyes. I remember, they've never seen me like this. I choked back a sob and ran out the room and into the bathroom, locking the door behind me. I started crying and wiping my eyes, harshly.

I never really went into detail of my dreams with my therapist, Anna Whitehall. She was kind and understanding. She didn't push me to do anything I didn't want to. "Take your time." She would say. "Remember, we're healing here, not scarring." She also would say.

A knock brought me out of my thoughts. "Kitty Cat? Babe, come out." Mitchie's soothing voice came through. "Cait, you're safe. You're safe with us. He can't get you." She tried again. I could hear Mara was worried but also pissed off.

"Caitlyn, if you don't come out now, I'm coming in. Move back from the door." She started kicking the door with her heavy boots. I heard her curse and say something about her parents killing her if she actually broke the door. I heard her cuss again and say something about how much the door would cost. It was a wooden and metal door. Metal is really not easy to kick through but Mara was a martial arts ninja. She was a black belt in Karate. She could also do Judo and Kung Fu and Tae Kwon Do.

"Stop!" I said. Mara stopped kicking the door. I went over and unlocked it, opening it and showing my tear streaked face.

"Oh, my baby." Mara cooed, hugging me. I rolled my eyes. Mitchie stood there, smiling at Mara's 'motherly' side. Another thing she learnt at her time away in Korea was how to be a good mother. Trust me, it was working. Her rubbing my back and saying soothing nothings was really making me calm down.

"I know something that may help." Mitchie offered. I nodded for her to continue. "Express your feelings in a song. Let all rush out and then, BAM!, you forget about that asshole." She said. I laughed. We rarely heard Mitchie curse. Then I turned serious. It was actually a good idea. Mitchie handed me a pen and paper and I went into Mara's room, sitting at her desk and moving her laptop to the edge but not enough to let it fall off. I laid the paper down and found my hand did all the rest of the work.

Oh Oh
Ooh Ooh Ooh
I loved you, I loved you
With all that's in my power
I was used and abused
Til I was sweet and sour

I kissed you and kissed you
And gave you all my sugar
You knew that I'd be useless
If I let you know what you were to me
I thought it would be OK
And we shared everything
No way

I twirled my pen between my fingers and thought. I wrote down what freely came.

And I told you, I told you
How I was such a sad case
You said you could save me
I'm doing the saving
Went to sleep with superhero
And he woke up a villain
Killing and killing my love
Oh, what happened?
Oh, no, what happened
You got me fighting
Like wonder woman, woman
But...

Just needed a chorus and I got it.

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o

Oh, oh, oh
I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh

Oh no, don't know what happened.
Don't know what happened.
Don't know what happened.

Bridge dealt with, now second verse.

I keep trying and trying
To wrap my head around it
Crying so can't let nobody see how I'm acting
You hurt me, you hurt me
And no not physically
Ain't got no bumps and bruises
To show people what you're doing to me

I thought it would be OK
But you see I heard everything you said
And I knew it, I knew that you'd turn out to be a sad case
You said you could save me
I'm doing the saving

I was feeling all this. When I went to Camp Rock and Nate wasn't there because of a tour, I felt alone and couldn't confide in anybody, until Mitchie came along, of course. I used to cry every night and dread the day Jacob would come to pick me up again.

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
Oh no

Now I just needed something fun and upbeat to show that I'm alright even though this was all wrong.

You got me
Using all my Kung Fu tricks, tricks
Hit 'em with the round house kick to the tempo
1, 2, 3, 4 hung hi ho, T.K.O, Tae Kwon Do
You know
When you see that hand go chop
Everything stops
The flow so hot
Like steam from a coffee pot

Rush hour, no traffic
No Jet Li, just Jackie
You acting like you stay behind
Go read up on your classics
You ol' fake-o wanna be superman
Give Clark Kent back his glasses
Man I hit you with a judo kick so fast
You look back like what happened

I saw Mitchie and Mara lean their heads in to see what I was writing and saw them grin.

Oh, no
I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
I, I, I don't wanna fi-I-ight
Don't wear no ti-I-ights
And I can't fly-y-y
I'm no, I'm no superhero-o-o
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, no what happened
Oh, no what happened
Oh, no what happened

"Finished." I said. I sang it to them and they hugged me in response. They didn't understand how it affected me but they knew it affected me. They'd never experienced it but they'd experienced seeing someone act who has experienced it.

I just finished putting my earrings on when Mara came back into her room from her parents' bedroom. She was wearing her kimono which ended just in the middle of her thighs. She wore black tights and her new Doc Martens. Her hair had two Japanese sticks sticking out of her makeshift bun.

I wore a peach jumpsuit with long sleeves and peach Converse. Mitchie came in from the bathroom and she was wearing a casual green corset and blue jeans with green heels. Mara still bugged us on what her gift was. We still kept hush-hush and pushed her down the stairs and out her door just as her family came in.

"Enjoy the gift!" Her dad teased.

"And stay out as late as you want." Her mother grinned.

Mara just rolled her eyes and followed us out to Mitchie's Mercedes. We got in and she started the car and drove off into the direction of her house. Mara didn't realize because she was Twittering away on her phone. I texted Nate to ask if everything was set. He texted back a while later with a, 'Yup.'. Trust Nate to be all simple.

The five of us, (Jason, Shane, Nate, Mitchie and I) were all in for surprising Mara with her gift. You'll find out when we get to Mitchie's house. It was kinda like a New Years party between the youngsters. Thea was going to pick up Amy, Mel and Ry later. The adults all decided to have a dinner party at the Paves'. The reason why the 16 and unders where coming later was because there would be too much alcohol and as much as the adults trusted us, we couldn't let them be there for that. When the drunk people left, they would come and celebrate with close friends and family for Mara's birthday.

We arrived at Mitchie's and saw everything was dark. I saw the outline of Shane waving to us, frantically and quickly turned off the headlights so Mara couldn't see him. He dashed inside to tell everyone to hush. I got out to help Mitchie park the car because it was night and she switched the headlights off. When she parked, Mara got out and stared at us in disbelief.

"After you." We chorused. Mara walked up and rubbed her hands down her hips to get rid of sweat. Her phone was tucked nicely in the little purse that we gave her which hung down her left shoulder. She opened the door and immediately the lights were on and a large uproar of 'SURPRISE' rang through. Mara gasped and laughed, thanking everyone. Now the party was started and most people went to collect beers and wine and champagne.

Mara hugged our close friends and hugged Jason for a long time. I had to confront them. It was now or never. I tapped Mara and she turned. "Are you and Jason back together?" I asked. Now both of them blushed. Jason nodded and squeezed Mara. I shook my head laughing and I hugged them both.

"Why didn't you tell us!" Shane asked, hitting Jason. Mitchie did the same with Mazz.

"So her Grandmother won't find out." Jason replied. We all nodded in understanding.

"Hey, Mara, you look great. Is that new?" Nate asked. Mara blushed and shook her head.

"It's been in my family for decades. It's meant to be worn on a girl's 20th birthday in my family." She explained. Jason looked at her in awe.

"It's beautiful." Jason said, smiling at her. She kissed his cheek and leaned onto his shoulder. We all turned when we heard Jesse at the DJ desk.

"Yo! I'm DJ Jesse and this is a New Years and Birthday Party rolled into one. Can we holler at the birthday girl, Mazzy?!" Jesse exclaimed. We all hollered at she laughed. "Now to sing Happy Birthday. One, two, three..." Jesse started us off and we sang it to Mara. "We have performances from the birthday girl and her best friends then we have the 'BIG GIFT' then people shall get their asses out and we'll have some birthday cake. Oh and FYI, we've got a New Years cake so don't worry, everyone will have some cake!" He announced. "Now for a song created by Caitlyn Wynwood featuring Mitchie Torres and Mazzy P."

We made our ways to the stage to sing the song nobody had ever heard before. Not even the boys.

[Caitlyn Wynwood&Mitchie Torres]
Laughing so damn hard
Crashed your dad's new car
All the scars we share
I promise, I swear

Laughing so damn hard
Crashed your dad's new car

[Caitlyn Wynwood]
Oh ohh, I'll never let you go
Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you
Oh ohh, just thought that you should know
Oh ohh, whoa, this is my oath to you

Yeah...

"Wasn't that awesome?!" Jesse boomed. "Now for a song that's definitely going to make you party! Take it away, ladies." He said.

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

Call up all our friends, go hard this weekend
For no damn reason, I don't think we'll ever change
Meet you at the spot, half past ten o'clock
We don't ever stop, and we're never gonna change

Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up

We'll be running down the street, yelling "Kiss my ass!"
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing, here's to never growing up

Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up

We live like rock stars, dance on every bar
This is who we are, I don't think we'll ever change (hell no!)
They say just grow up, but they don't know us
We don't give a fuck, and we're never gonna change

Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
Got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up

Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up

Say, won't you stay forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up

Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, (yeah raise your glass and say) here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, (da de da de da) here's to never growing up (no we're never growing up)
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up

"Didn't that get you started and become partying animals?" Jesse said. "Great now, we're gonna play some tunes for y'all to party to. Happy New Year!" He said. He started a roll of songs and the girls and I made our ways to our guys. We greeted loads of old and new friends and got congratulations on our engagement. Tess was bursting in excitement with Ella and Peggy, Lola, Sander and Barron just made jokes on how long it took Nate and reminiscing on the 'old days' back when we were 12/13 and singing together with Brown. Brown had called us earlier in the morning to congratulate us with Dee.

"Guys, it's time." Shane checked his phone. Mitchie got the attention of Jesse who nodded and quietened the music just enough to speak out. Mara just stood next to Jason, confused. Jason just grinned along with the rest of us.

"Can everybody make their ways outside please?" Jesse asked. "It's time for the gift!" Jesse said. Everyone immediately ran out and stood outside excited. The 6 of us made our ways to the front where the 'gift' would appear. Jesse came along with a switch in his hand. He whispered to Nate and Nate nodded, whispering to Jason who whispered to Mitchie. They all shared a nod and Jesse pressed the button. Immediately, sparks flew up and burst in all kinds of colors. A skyscraper went through the sky with a message with was covered in neon lights. It read: 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARA!'. Mara looked so happy looking at the sky. Well that wasn't all.

A man on a chair which was connected to a parachute was coming down from the skyscraper. It was hard to see his face even though there were blinding lights around. We knew who it was. The guy was getting closer and closer. When he landed, he unstrapped himself and took off the hat and mask. It was Mara's favorite actor and idol, Jackie Chan. She screamed like a fan girl and launched herself at him.

"It's really you!" She gasped, eyes wide. "You're here,...in, in front of me. You're real." She said.

"Happy Birthday!" He exclaimed. Mara hugged him again and looked at us. She hugged each of us, giving Jason a big hug and a kiss.

"Now everybody! Time for cake!" Jesse said through a microphone. Everyone went back in for some cake. Jackie sat with us in the front porch of Mitchie's house, eating cake. Jesse stayed inside to keep an eye on the drunk people. Jackie made jokes and we laughed at him.

...

Most people had left and now it was only close people only in the house. We had found people making out in varies of rooms and Connect 3 saved the day by getting rid of them before Mitchie's parents killed her. We got every stain and broken and dirty object out and cleaned and redone. Thea came with Amy, Melanie and Ryan and they helped clean up too. The boys got rid of anyone who weren't allowed in the private party. Jackie had to leave so we bid him goodbye and got back to straightening photos and finding Mitchie's little sister's fishes which suddenly were in every bath and the swimming pool. Ryan jumped into the pool to safe them. It was funny watching him bob up and down breathing for air before getting the rainbow fishes. There were two and the lights made it easier to see. It still was an funny thing to watch.

Mitchie went to get the birthday cake from her dad's shed and brought it to the kitchen, taking a squashed plastic cup filled with vodka to the sink and emptying it before recycling. Peggy, Lola, Ella and Tess all helped with cleaning bedrooms and stripping the sheets and remaking the beds. Barron, Sander, Jesse and Amelia helped with setting the living room and dining room back to it's normal nature. I helped Mitchie cut the cake while Mara sat down and chatted with us. Connect 3 helped clean up any vomit or stains and got rid of food and drinks in the rooms not being tended to. Ryan came from the back, wet and holding a bag full of water with fish inside. Mitchie pointed him to the fish tank and he went to sort the fish out.

When we were all done, we sang 'Happy Birthday' again and Mara handed cake to everyone. It was red velvet cake with buttercream icing and chocolate frosting and a silly edible photo of Mara on it. She got pieces of her eye and mouth and nose.

"Nice song you sang." Jason said to us. I smiled and Mitchie and Mara grinned.

"Caitlyn made it today." Mara replied, eating the cake.

"It was a fun song to write and mix." I said.

"Caitlyn has a unique way of making lyrics and music." Mitchie complimented. I thanked her. While everyone chatted, Nate kept whispering things like 'I like what you're wearing', 'You have no idea what I want to do with you', 'You're very beautiful'. And throughout, my smile was getting larger and larger. I kissed his lips to stop his next compliment.

"Can you wait 7 months till you rip my clothes off?" I whispered. Nate pondered on the thought for a while and shook his head. "Well, tough." I said, smiling. I got back into conversations with the girls and Nate with the guys. We had a bottle of champagne and drank from it. The boys had beers. Some of us were underage but technically I was 20 this year which was close to 21. See what I did there? I must be drunk already. All of us agreed on Amy, Mel and Ryan not drinking. Strict rules from our parents. Who, by the way, told us that they would be at Mara's to stay due to loads of consumption of alcohol.

All of us were staying at Mitchie's for the same reason but the twins and Amy were staying because they wanted to be with the cool kids. Us. Huh, we're cool! Best Day Ever! I know I say that a lot, shut up. But it probably is for Mara. Wait, Best Days Ever. It's past 2 in the morning. Oh well, sleep is for the afternoon! Hooray to that.

Wow this took ages to write! My fingers are killing me. Right, off to rest them!
