This fic contains very serious subject matter. It is about something that would never in a million years actually be shown on Disney Channel, and I think that if you are under about 14 you should not read this. I won't go into detail right now so that I don't ruin the story, but please practice discretion while choosing whether or not to read this. You have been warned. Please, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana, any of the characters, or plot lines. Furthermore, none of the songs featured is my own. Music information is at the end of each chapter.

With This Christmas Wish...

Chapter One: Christmas is Going to the Dogs

Well, Christmas is going to the dogs

We'd rather have chew toys than Yule logs

And things aren't looking very good, it's true

So I'll just lay here and chew

"Miley." Jake called, as I I try to leave school. I had a "Hannah Thing" to do and I couldn't be held up at school. "Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"I really don't have time. I'm sorry. I have to go." I said. Jake is so beautiful.

"Well, then let me give you this." He handed me a red envelope with my name written in gold lettering.. "Open it when you've got time. It's no big deal."

"Thanks, Jake." I said,

I walked around the corner to meet Lily as Lola in the limo. We had to drive to San Diego for a record signing. Dad was in the front seat with the driver. Lily sat next to me and Jackson across from us. I fingered the letters on the envelope, imaging what its contents could be.

"Open the darn thing already." Jackson was just as interested as I was. I slipped my finger under the flap and lifted it. There were two pieces of paper. I read the words written in Jake's messy handwriting, then read the other. I placed them both back into the envelope, holding in my excitement until Jackson wasn't there.

Lily couldn't wait. She would find out what was in that envelope weather or not Jackson was there. "Miley... what's in the envelope?"

"I'll tell you later." I spoke quietly and nodded to Jackson.

"Hey!" Jackson squealed. "I wanna know what it says too."
"Fine." I sighed. "Jake is inviting me to a Christmas party at his house. He said I can bring you, Jackson, which, you better have something to do that night. And that Lily's invitation's in the mail."

"Oh... my... god! I'm going to a Jake Ryan party!" Lily screamed. "Wait, what does the other paper say?"

"That he likes me. Gosh, Lily, can you believe it? I mean, I like him, and he likes me. Nothing ever goes this great for me."

"Are you going to tell him?"

"Yeah, at the party." I looked down at my lap with a sudden realization. "Lily, are you sure you're over him?"

"Yeah. I am so done with that phase." She smiled wide. "Maybe Zac Efron will be at the party."

"Oh, he's so nice. I met him last year, in Europe..."

"Mornin' bud." Dad called as I entered the kitchen the next morning. "I've got great news."

"Mmhmm." I was floating on air ever since Jake gave me that letter. I know I come off as a jerk, but I really like you. You're smart and funny and I'm sure you know these things. Please, come to my party, and let me prove it to you.

"Don't you want to know what I'm talking about?" Dad asked.

"Huh?" I was zoned out, thinking about Jake. "Yeah, sure."

"Hannah Montana is going to be the playing at Jake Ryan's Christmas party."

"WHAT?!"

"Lily, what am I supposed to do?" I asked at her at school. "I can't do the 'be-both-Miley-and-Hannah-at-the-same-time' thing again. Remember when I did that with Josh. That ended horribly."

"I know, but your dad already agreed to have Hannah sing."

"I'm just not going to tell him. I mean, I'm sure there will be a ton of people there. He won't even notice I'm not there. Well, there as Miley. Not Hannah Montana."

"Hannah Montana?" Jake came up behind me. How much had he heard? "She's performing at my party. Do you like Hannah Montana?"

"She's great." I said. Please ring, bell. Make me go to class. The bell ringing gods must have been listening to my thoughts, because the bell rang. I pulled Lily with me to first period. "Gotta go."
