Author's Note: I do NOT own anything of Hannah Montana, nor any of the songs used. They belong to 3 Doors Down, and Nickelback.

AGAIN I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!


Different

Mikayla Marshall stood in front of the audience dressed in her black skinnies, her Paramore shirt, and her black and white convers with her hair pulled back into a pony tail. Her black electric acoustic guitar was strapped to her and for the first time in forever she felt like herself once again. She felt like she was free, and she could let go of the hate.

This was the first concert she was doing after being five months in rehab. Her band was shocked when she showed up at practice with new songs, lyrics, as well as a new attitude.

She had problems and she knew that the only way she was going to get help was rehab, so she disappeared from the spotlight and checked herself in to rehab. The only things she brought with her were two bags of clothes, and her guitar.

About three months into treatment, Mikayla had asked for a blank journal so she could write. Once the journal had been handed to her adamantly began to write lyrics as well as music. One month before she was supposed to leave the doctor came to her and said that she could go home, that she was doing wonderful and if she had any more problems to call him as soon as possible.

So before going home she called the cleaning service and had the place cleaned out. The next morning she had gotten up early had went through her clothes, shoes, anything that she could give to the people who really needed it, then went to talk to record company about doing something different, and firing Margo.

"Hello everyone. I'm Mikayla Marshall. As you know I disappeared for five months out of the spotlight. Rumors spread like wildfire...Some said I went off and got married. Others said that I had gotten pageant by one of the Jonas Brothers.…Well the truth was….is because I had problems….and the only way I could look past…get past it was to get help so I checked myself into rehab. I got help…..the help that I needed. For those who are watching these at home, or in the back. As well as everyone here….I wanted to say that I'm so, so sorry for the way I treated you…..I hope you can forgive me…in some point in your life."

Back in the waiting room stood Hannah Montana, her manger aka her dad, Lola, and Mike. As well as a few others their mouths dropped opened as they listened and watched Mikayla on the screen. While it was happening in really life just a few feet away.

Nodding back to her band, the keyboardist started, and then the rest followed in. Then Mikayla began to sing into the microphone.

Well I know the feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge

I'm telling you that
Its never that bad
Take it from someone whose been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And your not sure
You can take this anymore

As continued to sing, she started strumming her guitar. Everyone was still in shock but were listening to the lyrics that knew that meant a lot to the girl out on stage.

So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about
The easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come
So just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

The band slowed to a stop all except the keyborediest and Mikayla continued to sing into the microphone.

Well everybody's hit the bottom
And everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on

Then started back up to continue the song along with the keyboardist, and Mikayla.

Just give it one more try
To a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And you can't tell
I'm scared as hell
Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Well honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

The audience clapped, screamed, and cried as they stopped. Back in the back they had tears in their eyes.

"I never heard her sing like that?" Lola whispered, as she wiped her face trying hard not to mess up her makeup, or her light blue wig.

Hannah nodded her as she to wipe her face, "I haven't either Lola. Makes me think though….if that was her really singing…then what was she singing when she sung, "If cupid had a heart." Cause that's nothing compared to what she just got done singing."

Back out on the stage Mikayla smiled at the audience as she unhooked her guitar and handed it to Sam who was one of the stage hands before switching microphones' to one that had a better grip.

"I'm glad you like the song. It really meant a lot, just for you to hear it. And please keep theses lyrics in your heart as well as your mind. If you need help, then get it, don't become what I did…This next song I hope you like as well…."

I guess i just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself

I'll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It's time to make my way
Into the world i knew
Take back all of these times
That i gave in to you

Lately i'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

That's all i've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me

Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time... oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me

"This well is my last song but you guys have been awesome! I hope to see you all again! Thanks for coming and I hope you all of you have a good time for the rest of the concert!" Mikayla said as she place the microphone in it stand, then walked to the side to get her guitar from Sam the stage hand.

The drummer started up first then Mikayla followed in with her acoustic guitar, after a few cords she began to sing.

One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day

There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off

The rest of the band joined in as the drummer and Mikayla continued.

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

They tell us everything's all right
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something's clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win

The right thing to guide us
Is right here inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is nearly gone

But just like a heartbeat
The drum beat carries on

Only the drummer played, as everyone stopped playing.

And the drum beat carries on
Just like a heartbeat

Then Mikayla and the rest of the band started back up.

Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
We must stand together
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
There's no giving in
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
Hand in hand forever
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's when we all win
Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

"Thank you everybody for coming out to tonight I hope to see you all again soon! And remember the lyrics to Lullaby, and When We stand together! Goodnight!" Mikayla said over the audience, before turning around and walking off the stage back to the waiting room to grab a bottle of water.

Once she opened the door everyone stopped her and congratulated her for getting the help she needed.

When Hannah walked by her she reached out and gently grabbed her forearm, "Wait, Hannah. Can I talk to you privately?" Mikayla asked

"Um…sure. Mikayla. Um…dad, we'll just be outside the door." Hannah said, as Mikayla let go of her forearm and walked outside.

"K, bud." Was all that he said as he continued to eat his sandwich before Mike ate it…or Lola?

"Hannah, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I know that I wasn't …..Well really nice to you and I hope you can forgive me." Mikayla said as she looked at Hannah.

Hannah smiled at her, and nodded her head, "Yea, I forgive Mikayla. Just…just don't do it again okay."

"Yeah. You got it Montana." Mikayla smiled as she leaned against the wall.

Hannah smiled and said, "Well I need to go."

Mikayla nodded slowly her smile dropping slowly as she walked away. Before losing her courage she reached out and grabbed Hannah's forearm again, spanned the pop princess around, and then pressed her lips against hers.
