Episode 2: The Procrastination of My Life
Chapter 1
It was Thursday night and Miley and Lilly had finished their last class for the week since they didn't have any Friday classes. They were now laying on the bed kissing. After a few minutes, Lilly slowly pulled away and said, "Miles, We have a lot of homework to do and we still haven't done our homework from Wednesday."
Miley moved down to Lilly's neck and said, "Lils, we have a three day weekend, it can wait."
Lilly gently but reluctantly took Miley by the arms and pushed her away. "Honey, it's not I'm not enjoying this, we just have a lot to do. Like that three page paper and sixty pages to read for Psychology. We already wasted time hanging out with Emily and Destiny."
Miley and Lilly had been hanging out with Emily and Destiny and eating dinner with them in the dining hall. On Wednesday when Destiny and Emily had asked if they wanted to go to this writing club they had joined, Miley and Lilly agreed to go after Miley had convinced Lilly that they had plenty of time to work on the assignments that were due Monday.
Miley sighed and moved off of Lilly as she said, "Yeah, I guess you're right." She groaned, "I just really don't want to do it."
"I know Miles but we have to. We signed up for the same classes so that we could work together anyway."
Miley nodded and went over to her desk and grabbed her computer then she went and sat next to Lilly on the bed. "Ok, we can start now, I'm just going to check Facebook really quickly." Miley said as she typed in Facebook on her browser.
"Miley," Lilly said with stern voice.
"What? I enabled this new feature so fans could send me a message on Facebook if they wanted to. My publicist taught me how to do that," Miley said. Lilly was of course with her when Miley's publicist walked her through the process but she was just trying to hold off on homework for as long as she could. Lilly knew exactly what Miley was doing since Miley did this same thing in high school.
"Miley, give me that computer, you will never get any work done," Lilly said as she grabbed onto the sides of the laptop, blocking Miley from the keyboard.
"Lilly! We have time. We have all weekend."
"Yes, until Emily and Destiny call wanting to hang out and you decide to procrastinate longer and we go with them," Lilly said raising her voice. "Miley, don't turn into Jackson!" Lilly exclaimed, knowing that would get Miley's attention. If there was anyone she didn't want to be like, it was her brother.
Miley turned to Lilly with a blank expression and said, "I am not like Jackson!"
"Miles, I don't want to argue with you. Come on, we have five classes and a three day weekend. Four days if you count the afternoons on Thursday's. We can do the homework for a class each day taking one of those days and doing two classes worth of homework. It won't be that bad," Lilly said trying to think of a strategy to help them get through homework so that they could at least have a little bit of a social life.
"Ok," Miley mumbled, obviously losing the argument. Just like in high school, she always lost the arguments. Miley would try to procrastinate with Lilly getting her back on track.
"Ok, let's see, we only have five pages to read for speech class and then we only have fifteen pages to read for Music Appreciation. We can work on those first," Lilly said as she got up and went over to get their backpacks that were lying by the door. She took out their speech books and Music Appreciation books. Miley closed her laptop and put it back on her desk. They sat at their desks as they pulled out their notes and started working.
Right when they finished their speech reading, Miley closed her book and said, "Study break! Come on Lils, let's go get a snack."
"Ok but after we get back do you promise that we get back to studying?" Lilly asked as she got up and walked up to Miley.
"Yeah, yeah, I promise. Dang Lils, you sound worse than my dad," Miley mumbled.
"Well, he's not here so someone needs to make sure you stay focused," Lilly replied happily. Miley rolled her eyes as they walked out the door.
After a couple of hours and a few snacks later, they finally finished their speech and music appreciation homework. Miley went and landed face down on the bed as she sighed and exclaimed, "Finally!"
"Now see, don't you feel better knowing we got that taken care of?" Lilly asked as she out her hands on Miley's back and rubbed it the way Miley liked it. She heard Miley let out a relaxing sigh.
"Yeah, I do but I still don't like it." Miley said pointedly.
"I know hon, I just want us both to do well. This is college and you know what they say about it being harder than high school."
"Lils, you'll do fine, I'm sure. You've always been smart."
"Yeah, but that was high school Miley. Even our professor said that other countries laugh at our public school system," Lilly said. One of the first things their history professor had said was that the world laughed at the public school system in America and that college was way harder.
"I think he just said that to scare us into studying Lil. How many people in other counties do you know that can confirm what the professor said?" Miley asked. She really wanted to get Lilly to stop worrying which was one thing her best friend did a lot.
"Well, no one but,-"
"Lils, hon, stop worrying, you will be fine," Miley said, cutting Lilly off and starting to sound annoyed.
"Yes dear," Lilly said rolling her eyes. She knew Miley was right but still.
Miley smiled as she said, "Good girl." She then leaned over and kissed Lilly softly on the lips. When she pulled away she said, "Now, I'm going to go check my fans messages."
Lilly chuckled as Miley went and got her laptop and sat back on the bed. Lilly smiled and put her head on Miley's shoulder as she read some of the fans emails with her.
The next morning, Miley and Lilly both slept in until nine thirty. Lilly woke up to see Miley still asleep on her chest with Miley's arm across her stomach. Lilly smiled and kissed Miley on top of her head which made Miley stir and slowly wake up.
"Good Morning hon," Lilly said as she rubbed Miley's arm with her hand, enjoying the smoothness of Miley's skin.
Miley reached up with her hand and rubbed her eyes. "Good Morning," Miley said as she buried her head back into Lilly's shoulder.
"Not ready to get up yet?" Lilly asked as she ran her hand through Miley's hair.
"No, it's just I'm afraid if we get up then you'll make us study all day," Miley grumbled.
Lilly giggled at the comment and said, "Oh please Miles, since when have I ever been the type to spend all day studying? Besides, we just need to make sure we get a good amount in, not all day."
"Ok then, I'm ready to get up," Miley said as she perked up at the thought of not having to study right away.
"So what do you want to do today Miles?"
"I don't know," Miley said as she rolled over onto her back then suddenly thought of an idea. She sat up on her elbow and looked down at Lilly who was still laying on the bed. "How about we go out to dinner tonight, just the two of us?"
Lilly smiled up at Miley and said, "That sounds nice but what made you want to do that?"
"I was just thinking that we hadn't had a proper date and I was thinking that it was time we had one," Miley said as she leaned down and gave Lilly a quick kiss on the lips.
When they pulled apart Lilly said, "I love you Miles, you know that?"
"Yeah, I know but I'm not opposed to hearing it again. I love you too Lils," Miley said as she leaned down and kissed Lilly again. After a few minutes of kissing, they heard Miley's phone vibrate. Miley groaned as they reluctantly broke the kiss. She reached over and to her nightstand and picked up her phone to find a text from Mallory.
'Hey Miley, I was just wondering of you and Lilly want to meet for breakfast?"
At this point Miley was already sitting up in the bed. She felt a shift in the bed as Lilly sat up and looked over Miley's shoulder. "Who's the text from Miles?"
"Mallory. She wants to meet for breakfast," Miley said with a grudging tone in her voice.
"Well you just sound very thrilled about that," Lilly said sarcastically getting a look from Miley.
"I don't know Lils. I know I said I would try to befriend her again but a part of me is screaming at me not to."
"Yeah, but you'll never know unless you try. You never know, what if she changed and she becomes a good friend of ours. Remember what I told you, I'm here this time so if she's mean to you like she was when you were a kid, I'll be here and make sure she doesn't treat you badly," Lilly said as she kissed Miley on the cheek.
"I know, you're right Lils. I guess I just worry too much."
"Worry and procrastinate, yeap, that sounds like my Miley," Lilly said as a teasing smile worked its way onto Lilly's face.
Miley rolled her eyes, "Shut up," Miley said teasingly. "Plus, I kind of wanted to spend the day with just you." All week, Miley and Lilly have been so busy with school and spending time with new friends that they hadn't really had any time together or as they used to call it when they were kids, their Miley/ Lilly time.
Lilly smiled at Miley's admission and kissed Miley on the lips. "I know honey and I want to spend time with just you too but we have all day to do that. What if we go down there and Mallory sees us? She'll probably get the wrong idea and think we just didn't want to see her."
Miley sighed and said, "Yeah, I know you're right. I'll text her back and tell her that it's fine."
"Good girl, I will go get ready," Lilly said as she got off of the bed.
"Ok, I'll be in the bathroom in a second," Miley said as she sent a quick text to Mallory then followed Lilly into the bathroom.
After the girls got dressed they went down to the dining hall where they saw Mallory had saved a table for the three of them. They got their food and went and sat down with her.
"Hey guys, I haven't seen ya'll since Wednesday before class and was wanting to have breakfast with ya'll," Mallory said with a smile. Miley and Lilly smiled back.
"Hey Mallory," Miley said. She noticed that Mallory seemed friendly enough and decided to just remain calm and see what happens. Lilly could be right, Mallory could have changed. Besides, even if things did go wrong, she knew she would always have Lilly.
"So how are you liking college so far," Lilly asked Mallory while she took Miley's hand and squeezed it remind Miley that she would always be there for her.
"I really like it, much different than high school," Mallory said as she took a sip of her orange juice.
"We know what you mean. People just seem friendlier and get this, no one cares that Miley is Miley. Or that she was Hannah Montana. It's great!" Lilly said excitedly.
Miley glared at her and said, "You need to say it louder Lils because I don't think they heard you all the way in China."
"Oh you know what I mean Miles," Lilly said looking at her best friend then she looked back to Mallory. "That was why she started Hannah was because she didn't want people being friends with her just because she was famous. She wanted a normal life and live out her dream at the same time."
"So why did you guys get rid of Hannah and Lola?" Mallory asked.
"Simple, I wanted to go to college with my best friend," Miley said as she put her arm around Lilly's shoulders and hugged her.
"Aww, and I wanted you to come to college with me too honey. That's why I was so willing to go to Malibu Community College."
"I couldn't let you do that Lils. You had given up so much already that I couldn't let you give up your dream college because of the Hannah secret," Miley said as she gave Lilly a quick peck on the lips.
"You two are honestly the cutest couple I have ever seen," Mallory said with a smile breaking Miley and Lilly out of their own little world.
"Thank you," Miley and Lilly both said at the same time as they returned their attention back to their breakfast.
"I still remember when Miley had that huge crush on her friend Travis. I always thought those two would wind up together," Mallory said with a smile. Miley glanced at Lilly and saw jealousy bubble up in her eyes. She reached over and put her hand on Lilly's leg and gently squeezed it. Mallory didn't notice the new tension in the conversation. Miley remembered Mallory always being kind of clueless when it came to certain things. She was that type of person who you always had to be straight forward with. Mallory never picked up on hints.
"So Miley, did you really date Jake Ryan?" Mallory asked, now Lilly's seething was obvious. She wanted nothing more than to change the subject.
"Yes, I did," said Miley through clenched teeth. She wanted to change the subject too because she couldn't stand Jake Ryan. "He cheated on me though last year so I broke up with him. We had a very rocky on and off relationship for years but I don't want to go into it."
"So what made you decide to come to Stanford," Miley said trying to change the subject.
"Oh well I actually didn't get in at first but my mom knew someone who worked here and called them threatening to take them to court and sue them if they didn't let me in so they let me in immediately," Mallory said.
Lilly head whirled up from her plate and looked between Miley and Mallory. "You're mom seriously threatened the school?"
"Yeah, my grades weren't good enough to get in but she threatened them and they really didn't want to go to court so they had to let me in."
"So is your dad still in his realtor job?" Miley asked. She knew that this breakfast wasn't going too well.
"Yeah he is. He got us this million dollar house with a pool and everything," Mallory said. Miley always remembered that about Mallory and her family. They were very narcissistic and materialistic. They loved drama too. She remembered Mallory's mother always going to her mother about neighborhood gossip. Susan Stewart was never the type to gossip though. She just kept it to herself and Miley never found out about it until she was older and her dad told her.
"Hey, have you kept up with Ashley and Piper?" Ashley and Piper were Miley's other two friends from her old neighborhood. She was actually closer to them than she was Mallory growing up but she still had considered Mallory to be her best friend. She really didn't know why.
Lilly was currently picking at her eggs. Mallory and Miley seemed completely different. From her years of knowing Miley, she knew Miley as sweet, warm, and never willing to hurt anyone. Miley would always choose her friends and family over her fame and money. She was just that kind of person to never let them down. Mallory just seemed so cold and like she got everything handed to her on a silver platter and it seemed like she expected it. She was glad Miley changed the subject from Jake and Travis though. She didn't have anything against Travis since he was nice but still, it was Miley's ex crush. There was still a part of her that worried that Miley would leave her for a boy but a bigger part of her knew that would never happen. Jake on the other hand was a different story. Lilly couldn't stand Jake. He had hurt Miley so much and their breakups always ended in Miley running to Lilly's arms crying. She still remembered Miley calling her when they were fifteen so upset that Jake would tell Miley's secret. That infuriated Lilly still to this day.
She looked back up at Miley and Mallory who were still talking. She could tell Miley was eating a little faster. 'I guess Miley wants to get away as much as I do,'Lilly thought. She didn't want to be rude but Mallory really didn't seem that kind and the conversations she was starting up were very negative and uncomfortable.
A little while later saw Miley and Lilly back up in their room reading their Psychology book. Well, Miley was reading, Lilly wasn't. She tried but thoughts would come into her head that bothered her. She knew that the only way she would get rid of those thought is if she talked to Miley about them.
She looked up from her place on the bed and looked at Miley who was sitting in a chair with her feet up on the bed. "Hey Miles?"
Miley looked up and said, "Yeah Lils?"
"Come here, I want to talk to you," Lilly said as she patted the spot next to her on the bed. Miley quickly put her book down on the desk and crawled up to the spot next to Lilly.
When Miley sat next to Lilly on the bed, she put her arm around her shoulders and said, "Is something wrong Lilly?"
"No, it's just, I keep thinking about the breakfast this morning," Lilly said as she played with her hands in her lap.
"Yeah, so do I. Mallory really doesn't seem to have changed that much from when we were kids. I think I know what else has been bothering you though," Miley said as she rubbed Lilly's arm with her hand.
"Really? What is it then?" Lilly said quizzically.
"You're worried that I may fall in love with someone else and leave you. I saw how you reacted when Mallory brought Travis up," Miley said. Lilly didn't say anything because she was kind of embarrassed to admit it but Miley knew Lilly very well and took that silence to mean a yes.
"Lilly, no one will ever take me away from you, not even if I saw Travis again. I love you and only you," Miley said receiving a smile from Lilly.
"I know Miles and I love you too but I can't help but wonder. You had feelings for Travis for a long time. What if he showed up at your doorstep again?"
"Yes, I did like him for a long time but I never really loved him. It was more of an infatuation but Lilly, with you, this is love. It is way more than an infatuation. I've loved you for so long and the only reason I even dated other people is because I never thought I would never have a chance with you."
Lilly looked up at Miley and gave her a kiss. As the kiss deepened, hands started to roam and soon they were reconfirming their love for each other. Afterwards, they fell asleep in each other's arms.
After a couple of hours, Lilly woke up with her head on Miley's chest. She could smell Miley's flower scented perfume. Her heart was full and now she was positive that no one could ever take her Miley away from her. Of course, she would never take the love she had for Miley for granted. She had seen that with her parents. Her father started to take her mother for granted and that's what broke them up in the end.
Lilly looked up at Miley's sleeping face and gently kissed her nose. She thought Miley was beautiful when she slept. She looked so peaceful and even had a smile on her face when she slept.
Lilly cuddled up closer to Miley and gently rubbed her back until she woke up. After a few minutes, Miles eyes slowly opened as she looked down at the angel in her arms. She pulled Lilly close to her in a tight embrace.
"You know, I didn't read any of that Psychology chapter," Miley said with a grin.
"Neither did I, Miles. I was too busy worrying."
Miley chuckled and said, "So are you still worried?"
"Nope, not at all Miles," Lilly said as she leaned up and gave Miley a lingering kiss.
