New story...! I had this idea and I couldn't leave it alone until I at least tried it...

"Jesse."

The way she spoke his name was just so sweet. He loved the way she smiled slightly when she said his name.

"Jesse?"

Her medium length blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail today. She was wearing the cutest skirt and-

"Jesse!"

He shook his head and immediately came back to focus. He had been off in his own world for so long that he hadn't realized that she was actually speaking to him.

"Oh! Sorry, Hannah!" he said, clearing his throat quickly. "I was...uh...brainstorming some ideas?" he added, while managing a fake smile.

Hannah smiled shortly. "Great! I'd love to hear them!"

The smile fell off of his face. "Um. I..."

Hannah stared at Jesse in confusion. "Don't be shy! You never were the one to be shy, so why start now?"

"Yeah...um..." Jesse paused, glancing around the room.

Some music executives and the rest of Hannah Montana's band was sitting around the table staring at him. Also at the table were Hannah's dad and her two best friends, Lola and Mike.

Hannah was 22 now. She had taken a break when she was 18, so that she could attend college. Of course, she had gone to college as Miley- not Hannah. This way, nobody knew who she was. Hannah revealed her true identity to Jesse shortly before she left for school in New York. Jesse was wondering where Hannah would be going after she announced her "break from music." So, Miley had to tell him the truth. Now, four years later, Hannah was planning her comeback album and comeback tour.

Of course, a lot of the other people in the room didn't know the Miley/Hannah connection, so Jesse, Robby Ray, Lola, and Mike had to keep quiet about it at the moment. They were currently in a meeting to plan Hannah's new tour.

"Hannah...I...forgot."

"Oh? Okay..." Hannah, clearly confused again.

Lola and Mike exchanged a glance. Jesse stared down at his shoes.

"So, anyway, why don't we all think about some ideas and then be ready to discuss them this Friday?" Hannah concluded.

Shortly after that, the meeting cleared up and everyone dispersed. Mike and Lola, a.k.a, Oliver and Lilly, left to go to dinner together. Robby Ray had dinner plans with his girlfriend, so Hannah was going to call her limo and ride home alone.

"Bye, dad," she said, as Robby Ray walked towards the exit.

"You sure you'll be alright by yourself, bud?" he asked.

Hannah rolled her eyes. "Dad," she said pointedly. "I'm 22. I'll be fine by myself. I have to be fine by myself. I'm moving into my own apartment, remember?"

Robby Ray nodded. "Okay. I'll be home by 11." He looked at Jesse. "Bye, Jesse."

"Bye, Mr. Stewart."

After he was gone, Hannah turned to me. "Bye," she said distractedly, as she typed on her phone.

"Your limo is here?" Jesse asked.

"Not yet. I'm gonna call," she replied.

"So why are you saying bye now?" Jesse wondered aloud.

Hannah shrugged. "I thought you were going."

"I'm not gonna leave you here alone, Miley," Jesse stated, staring directly into Hannah's eyes. "It's getting dark outside."

Hannah snorted. "Jesse, I'm 22."

"I know."

"Exactly...Jesse, just go. It's fine," Hannah replied.

"Miley, it's starting to rain outside," Jesse pointed out.

"And?" Hannah prompted.

"Why don't you let me drive you home? To give your driver a break," Jesse suggested. "No sense in making him drive out here when I'm already here."

"It's fine!" Hannah yelled.

"Geez, okay. Okay. I'm going. No need to yell at me!" Jesse yelped, his face showing hurt. He turned around and started to walk away.

Hannah leaned forward and grabbed Jesse's arm. "Jesse, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you...a ride home would be great," she said softly and carefully.

Jesse nodded. "Okay."

The two of them walked to Jesse's car together. As Jesse drove off, Hannah removed her wig, revealing her wavy brown hair. Jesse did everything he could not to stare at her as they drove.

"So. We haven't talked since that Christmas party at my dad's house two years ago...what's new?" Jesse asked carefully.

Miley shrugged. "Um. Well, as you know, I graduated two months ago, in May. And Jake and I broke up about six months ago...that's really all that's been going on."

Jesse glanced over at Miley. "You guys broke up?"

Miley looked down at her feet. "After five years of dating, he cheated on me," she replied softly.

"Oh...Miley. I'm sorry," Jesse said sincerely.

Miley shrugged. "It was for the best. Jake and I were too different. He's always cared so much more about fame. He easily gets caught up in all of the drama and everything. That's not the type of person I want to spend the rest of my life with. And after being together for five years, I realized that I shouldn't waste my time on someone who would never be good for me for my whole life. At 22 years old, I shouldn't be worrying about marriage or anything since I have so much time left...but,I didn't see any sense in pursuing a relationship that wasn't going anywhere. I tried to stick it out for a little longer...but then he cheated on me. The end."

Jesse nodded. "My girlfriend-"

"Wait. You have a girlfriend?" Miley questioned, in surprise.

"Yeah. Her name is Amber."

"Oh, is she nice?" Miley asked.

Jesse smiled. "Very nice," he responded.

"Cool," Miley replied in a neutral tone.

"Yeah," Jesse said. "So anyway, Amber and I have been together for a little more than six months now. It's been really good with us. And I'm really happy with everything. You should come to our 4th of July barbecue on Thursday."

"Lilly and Oliver and I usually just hang out at my house, but this year they're going to a party at Lilly's college friend's house. So I don't have any plans. I'd love to come," Miley said confidently.

"Cool," Jesse replied. "I'm looking forward to it."

At that time, Jesse pulled into the driveway of Miley's house. "Well here we are," she said.

"Here we are," he echoed.

"Thanks so much for the ride," Miley said honestly.

"Anytime," Jesse stated. "Anytime."

So let me know if you think I should continue? If I don't get some reviews saying I should continue, then I won't. But I thought I'd get this story out there and see if anyone wanted me to continue. So let me know, or else I won't.

Thanks!
