Sequel: Into My Arms ›
Turn Right
First Day At Camp...
My POV
It’s February now...going into March. Kevin, Joe and I are on our When You Look Me In The Eyestour. We met Demi Lovato, the girl we’ll be working with for a new Disney channel movie called Camp Rock. She’s really cool and she has an amazing voice. I know her and Rachael will be amazing friends. Right before we left, we had our photo shoot and right after the tour, we’re heading to Canada to start filming.
Things have gotten better since both breakups…mine and Rachael’s. Miley ignores me…and as far as I know, Rachael hasn’t had any contact at all with Eric…and I’m not complaining. Sometimes I miss Miley…but I have to say that life has been much better andRachael and I are both happy. I would’ve loved it if she could’ve came on tour with us…but she has her own stuff she needs to do…she’s famous too now. Things aren’t the same, like when we were ten and eleven….but in a way, they’re better. Maybe…now that we’re both single and we’ll be with each other for a few months for filming…now’s a good time to get back together. I would give anything to get back what we had…but then there’s the possibility that it’s too soon. How long does it usually take girls to get over someone? With Drew it took her just around two or three weeks…am I any different? She kept everything I ever gave her…does it mean anything at all?
Rachael’s POV
I have to admit, I really miss Nick. I miss all of the Jonas’. I miss having Nick, Joe and Kevin around to hang out with…and I miss talking to Nick and staying over his house. I love Miley unconditionally, but she’s still getting over Nick. They were in a two year relationship, I can understand that she needs time and I’m trying to be the best friend and be there for her but it’s hard when the guy she hates is my best guy friend. She still thinks I’m perfect for Nick and that I was one of the reasons why she feels he wasn’t into the relationship…and okay, so maybe I still do have feelings for him…it doesn’t mean he feels the same. He has all of these girls going after him, why on Earth would he pick me again?
With all of these thoughts rushing through my head, I went out for a walk, just enjoying the fresh air. I signed a few autographs and took a few pictures along the way, for fans, such as little girls and older kids. Paparazzi wasn’t bothering me so I was grateful for that. But then something caught my eye…I saw someone with a camera and notepad and pen and he was talking to two girls…then I realized he was a paparazzi guy, but he was getting information from two faces I couldn’t see. Then as soon as they were done, the two girls turned around and my jaw dropped. There standing in front of me were Brittany and Kayla. They saw me and glared with smirks.
“What are you guys doing here?” I hissed.
“It’s nice to see you too Rach,” Kayla spat.
“Has your new life gotten to your head yet? Where are your manors?” Brittany mocked.
“What are you both up to?” I snapped.
“Nothing…just helping the public know the real story…we know how you love everyone knowing about your past,” Kayla said sarcastically because she knew very well that I didn’t like that at all.
“Are you both the inside source that keeps appearing in articles, talking about Nick and I?” I hissed with venom in my voice.
“What on Earth could you mean?” Brittany said.
“Stay out of my business, got it?” I snapped as I stepped closer but refrained from going any further.
“Whatever you say Rea rea,” Kayla said and they both just walked away.
When I left New Jersey, I was hoping to leave everything there…I guess that wasn’t possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Kayla and Brittany?!” Nick exclaimed.
I got home and called him right away to tell him about what happened…he wasn’t too happy either.
“Yep” I groaned. “We cant do much about it…I told Anna about it and she said she’s going to try and do something about it but I don’t see how she’ll be able to do anything,” I said. He sighed.
“We’ll just have to see how things go…” he said and I just agreed. “Anyway…how’s tour?” I asked and the conversation took off from there.
I listened to him get excited about the tour and I loved hearing him like this…I just wish we were face to face.

PAGE BREAK
Today’s the day I head up to Canada to meet the cast of Camp Rock. In fact, we were almost there. It was just me and Anna…when is it not? We were listening to the radio, quietly but then I heard a familiar tune and turned it louder. It was Teardrops on My Guitar by the one and only Tay Swift. I gasped and put it louder. It was the song we worked on together…well one of many. I whipped out my cell and called her.
“Hello?”
“Turn Z100 on right now!” I demanded and I heard her fast feet shuffle around and then after a few seconds, she screamed.
“Oh my gosh, that’s our song, the song we wrote, the song I recorded!”
“Correction my friend…we may have wrote it together but you definitely recorded it. It is definitely your song”
“Oh my gosh! I cant believe it! My song is on the radio!” she exclaimed and I heard her jumping around. I laughed.
“Well I just wanted to make sure you knew, I’m in Canada now for Camp Rock”
“Oh my gosh, I so forgot about that, have fun! And tell the guys I said hi,” she said and it was as if I could see the big smile on her face.
“I will. Bye Tay”
“Bye Rea,” she sang and we hung up.
Usually I only have Nick call me Rea but we made up a cool thing where I call her Tay and she calls me Rea cause they rhyme.
“We’re here…but we’re early” Anna said as she pulled up to the camp set.
There was a big sign that said ‘Camp Rock’ and there were cabins. “I’m gonna look around,” I said as I got out of the car.
“Don’t wonder and get lost,” she said but I kept going.
I came to a cabin and saw there was a piano inside so I walked in cautiously and looked around. I on the bench in front of the piano and began pressing random keys.
I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me
Don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak
I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful...today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So you see, I just wanna believe in me
I slowed down a little to think of the next couple words but then I heard something and I spun around quickly and almost fell off the bench to find a girl on the ground, looking up at me.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt, in fact I wanted you to keep going…but then I tripped” she said as she quickly got up. I couldn’t help but giggle.
“It’s really okay…that’s all I have anyway…it’s not…”
“I think it’s amazing,” she said suddenly.
“Really?”
“Of course. I love all your music, you’re only like fifteen and you’re already world known”
“Well I don’t know about world known…” but I stopped myself.
“I’m sorry. I don’t think I know who you are…I’m Rachael,” I introduced myself as I stuck my hand out to her.
“I know. I’m Demi,” she smiled such a huge smile, I couldn’t help but continue to smile at her. She shook my hand but I didn’t let go at first.
“Sorry, but I don’t do hand shakes,” I said and she kept smiling as we hugged. “That’s just for show,” I added when we pulled apart.
“So what were you working on anyway?” she asked.
“Just a new song…but I’m having trouble focusing on it…think you could help?”
“You want me to help?”
“Yea. Why not?” I asked but she didn’t reply, she just nodded.
Then we both walked over to the piano and sat down. “Tell me your thoughts and what you think about the song,” I suggested.
“Well I think it’s such a great start and the last verse you sang should definitely be the chorus…” she said as she began playing what I played and I was shocked by how quickly she already knew how to play the song.
“Sing it for me,” I urged, excitedly and she looked uneasy about it. “Come on. Please? You’re playing Mitchie Torres. The girl that has an amazing voice…you have to sing” I said playfully.
“And don’t worry, if you really suck, I wont tell anyone and I wont judge,” I added and she smiled and laughed lightly. She began playing…slowly at first but then she got up to my pace.
I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful...today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
So you see, I just wanna believe in me
The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it, it can tell you your full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile
She slowed down and just starred at the keys for a moment. “Then you’d play the chorus again and then go to the bridge which could be…” she started playing and singing again.
I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down
Not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength to make it through
“Or…something like that,” she looked at me.
“Demi that sounds amazing,” I cooed.
“Really?” she asked skeptically.
“Really, really. In fact, it’s yours,” I said.
“What? No I couldn’t do that”
“Of course you can. When you make your own album you’re going to need some songs, so now you have one of many,” I smiled.
“Really. It’s okay. I write songs all the time but never use them. You wont believe how many songs I wrote with Nick, Joe and Kevin and they used them on their albums…and I even wrote one or two songs with Taylor Swift, like Teardrops On My Guitar,” I said and she went back to smiling big.
“I heard that song on the way here, it’s really good” she said and I laughed lightly. “Thank you for the song”
“Not a problem”
“So you’ve known the guys for a while huh?” she asked.
“Yep…it seems like I’ve known them my whole life but it’s just about four years…they’re great guys”
“Yea I know. They’re amazing. They made the run through for auditions seem so easy and fun”
“That’s just the effect they have on people…hey wanna get something to eat? I‘m starving” I laughed and so did she.
“So am I…where do we go?”
“Not sure…lets just wonder around until we find something”
We started walking out the door. “So where did you come up with those lyrics anyway?” I asked her.
“They’re just some random verses I wrote and I just wasn’t sure what kind of song to put them in…”
That was the day, I became best friends with Demi Lovato…who knew a friendship could last a lifetime.
