Chapter.2~Arrival
"Wow." I whispered. Camp Rock was every thing I could hope for. I had just arrived and i new from first glance, that i was not going to be disappointed. Never before had i been here but i new everything i need it to know. Here is were you come if your heart has been captured by music such as mine. This place is were you need to be in order to become a somebody in the music industry. Legends are formed at this camp. I'm so close to my dream. Now more than ever i need to work harder than i ever have befor. This is up to me.
"So, are you girls excited?"
"Maybe...A little...Okay a lot! Thanks so much mom!"
"Yeah, thanks mom. We wouldn't be here if not for you. We're really greatful for everything your doing for us."i added.
"Come on girls, lets go settle in our cabin and get ready for the welcoming dinner."
The cabin was a nicley done themed room. It had Hard Rock band designs all over and i was thrilled when i realized i new them all. The campjust kept getting better and better for me. The deep brown fernish of the wooden walls some how just harmanized with the gold plted albums on the walls. I was amazed. As simple as that word is, its the best way to describe it.But soon my thoughts we interupted by a voice with an acent i couldnt quite identafie.
The guy started to talk with my mom but Mitchie and i didnt stay to hear the conversation. Mitchie and i were way to interested in the rest of the camp for that. And beside that the welcome open mic jam was about to start.
Some how at the welcoming speach Metchie and I met a girl named Caitlyn who swears she's the next big time producer. When the open mic jam session started Caitlyn introduced us to Lola, an amazing singer. She was incredible at her turn on the open mic singing.
"Wow she's amazing!"Mitchie said in compleate fasination.
"Yeah, I gess you could say that."Came a voise from behind me in a bitter yet fake joy tone.
"Guys,"Caitlyn began."This is Tess Tyler, the demon of Camp Rock."
"What ever." Tess snerd. "Hi. I'm Peggy and this is Ella." A girl next to Tess said.
"Hi, I'm Mitchie Torres, nice to meet you."
"Torres as in Nick Torres the broadway producer? My dad directed one ofyour dad'sshows I think." One of the girls said and Tess' atention spiked.
"No, actualy he owns a hardware store."Mitchie said slowly. As the three girls were making there leave Mitchie did somthing her nor I ever thought she would do. She lied about who she was. And who I was. "But my mom. My mom is the president of I-Tunes TV China."
"She is?" I asked in disbalief, but I was in compleate contral of my emotions so it sounded like a statement.
Mitchie went to hang with the Pree-madonnas, while I got to know Caitlyn. But after an hour and a half of bonding I was to meet mom and Mitchie out in the kitchen.
"Hi mom, what shall me and sis do for you and the ress of Camp Rock today? I asked
"Well all the foods just about done so all you and Mitchie need to do is set the tables."
"Okay mom well get on it right now." Mitchie said.
As we were setting the tables mom went to rest in the cabin so we were left alone in the mess hall.
"Hey sis look a piano. Sing that new song you were working on that you promised to let me hear but never did." I said to Mitchie.
"Okay, but it's not done so i only have the course and a few verses. But after I'm done you have to play one of the new songs youwrote also."
"Okay." I quickly agreed because i new no on e would hear me. I'm not a singer. I am a composer. I make the music while Mitchie sings. But everyone swears I'm just as good as Mitchie if not better.
Mitchie walked over to the piano and started to play a beautiful song. I must say it was an amzing peice of art work. I love my sister's work.
Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star
Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way
This is real, This is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, now
Gonna let the light,
"Thats it. Not quite done yet. Okay sis, stick to your promise. Your turn and I know the songs finished so I want the whole thing."
"Okay" I replied. Like i said she is the only one who is going to hear this. Right?... I took a seat at the piano and took a deep breath to prepair myself for this.
when i started to play it just flowed and came naturally.
I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others fear.
You are not to roam in this forgotten place,
Just the likes of me are welcome here.
Everything breathes and I know each breath
For me it means life for others it's death.
It's perfectly balanced, perfectly planned,
More than enough for this woman.
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
I've seen your world with these very eyes
Don't come any closer, don't even try
I've felt all the pain and heard all the lies
But in my world there's no compromise
Like every tree stands on its own
Reaching for the sky I stand alone.
I share my world with no one else.
All by myself I stand alone.
"Wow. That was wonderful."
"Thanks. Hey, look we're done, lets get out of hear before someone comes." And with that we left out of the mess hall. But i had a strange feeling someone more than just us heared each other singing.
~JASON'S POV~ earlier that day
"I don't want to waist my summer at some camp." Shane complained.
"Dude we use to love this place." Nate shot back.
"Yeah this is were connect 3 connected!" I said, reseaving a glare frome Shane.
"Look your the bad boy to the press and the lable has a problem with that wich means we have a problem with it." Nate stated.
"Actually I don't have a problem with it." But quickly changed my mind when i got just as bad as a glare from Nate.
We continued arguing for a few minutes until we finally got out the car. It had been so long time since I last been here. 3 years. I missed it alot. I also missed the camp counslurs. Shane's uncle Brown is the best. I remember i use to love hearing stories of his tourig days.
Nate, Shane, and I went to our cabin to get sttled and hide from the fans. Sure we loved our fans but we're still regular guys and we like our privacy.
After hours of unpacking and trying to figure out who sleeps where we finally got done and had time to go looking around camp. But about a few hours later the girls were chasing us and we had to hide.
After about a few minutes of running Nate dove under the mess hall into the bushes followed by me then Shane. When the girls ran by we still hid just to make sure we were safe. When we were about to come out Nate stopped us because he heard somthing.
*"Hey, sis look a piano. Sing that song you were working on that you said you promised to let me hear but never did."
"Okay, but I'm not done so i only have the course and a few verses. But once I'm done you have to play one of the new songs you wrote also."
"Okay."

"Okay."
I could hear the two girls swich spots and after a moment the second girl began to play.
I know the sound of each rock and stone
And I embrace what others fear.
You are not to roam in this forgotten place,
Just the likes of me are welcome here.

"Wow. That's wonderful."
"Thank. Hey, look we're done, lets get out of here before someone comes."
At that we all made a mad dash to get into the mess hall. "Hello! Is someone in here?" Shane asked.
I staid quite, thinking about the second song i heard. It was so deep and meaningful, but i was unable to grasp what that meaning was.
Did it mean she wanted to be left alone and be independent. Or did she get hurt. And to stop it from happening again she dweals in a place were only she can survive.
"That was some of the best music i ever heard." Nate said. And i agreed.
"We have to fine those girls." Shane said out of no were.
"How do we do that?" I asked really confussed.
"I dont know." He answered.
But he was right. We had to find those girls. If not both at least the second. I think i might have fallen in love with her and i dont even know what she looks like.
