A/N: Sorry, guys, for the corny story. It was sort of an impulse write. I re-read my fic "Most of All", and I thought that I needed to add another one-shot to my collection. I do hope you like it, though.
Disclaimer: This isn't mine. The plot is technically Aselin Debison's. The song is definitly Aselin Debison's. The TV Show is... well, I don't know who it belongs to, actually. But whoever it is has my full respect until I die. At that point, I'd like it back.
Miss You
It's Friday afternoon
The rain is pouring down
"Five… four… three…" Oliver counted, the watch on his wrist was perfectly synchronized to the school clocks. "Two… one…"
Ding! The school bell rang three times, and after two more, Oliver had already deposited his books at his locker. He waited patiently at Lilly's locker; his girlfriend's locker. The two had been dating for quite some time, but were still respectful of each other's independence.
"Miles, you want to come over?" Lilly asked as she and Miley strolled out of their history room. Just like every Friday afternoon, Lilly would invite Miley over, and Miley would say yes. But today, Miley was in a sour mood.
"No, thanks," Miley said, grinning in an attempt to make Lilly less worried.
"Alright, I'll call at 7:00. We're having a sleepover."
"Okay," Miley said calmly, not bothering to stop at her locker. She walked through the double doors of the school slowly and began to walk towards her house. Rain was falling steadily through the sky, and the grey bleakness made her feel even unhappier.
I walk through the puddles,
Each one: a different sound.
Her cell phone vibrated. She stared at the screen sadly. One missed text message.
Hey, Mi. I'll be in Romania another week. I can't wait to see you. J
Miley walked through the damp streets in Malibu, noting that as she walked, the puddles played a musical tune. The tune that she had created. Miley began to sing along as she walked, looking around in a nervous faze. "I miss you… I miss your smile. And I still shed a tear, every once in a while."
As I pass your house,
A feeling comes over me.
"That's where he lives," Miley said out loud as she passed Jake's house, and tear slid down her face. Jake's house wasn't a mansion, contrary to popular belief. It was an elegant house, though, with a beautiful whitewashed gate in front, and an equally beautiful garden. Miley looked at the flowers. They seemed to be crying with her.
It's just an emotion
Only the heart can say.
What's happening to me? I feel horrible. All the time. Is this Jake's fault? Should I just give up on him? Miley asked herself. Is it worth waiting? I've been around for six months. He should be home by now. I mean, I've heard long-distance, but this is my first real relationship, and we're not… well, we're not anything. Sure, I mean, I love him, but is he really too good to be true?
Cause I miss you.
Cause I miss you.
Miley grimaced as her phone vibrated. Another text.
Miles, are you alright? I haven't heard from you all day. Hope you're well. Much love.
"You're still here somehow. My heart won't let you go, and I need you to know… I…" Oh. That's what the feeling was. "I miss you."
I won't make a big scene,
I just walk on by.
Miley looked straight ahead, trying not to imagine when Jake would be back. In the back of her mind, she could picture it. She and Jake would be sitting on his terrace. She would be wearing a sun dress; he'd wear a hoodie under his blazer. She'd giggle when he touched her hair. He'd smile. She'd close her eyes… he'd kiss her. A tear hit the ground. Miley looked down at her feet. Her cell phone vibrated. Another text.
Alright, little girl. But remember, if you look down, you'll never see the stars. Love, J.
I can't help it,
All I can do is cry.
"I don't know what to do!" Miley sobbed, stopping dead inside her house. She looked around her. "He isn't worth the wait. I'll either be away as Hannah, or he'll be away as… Jake." Miley stared around her, as if hoping for some divine sign that Jake was alright, and he was worth every second Miley had spent thinking about him.
Hang up my coat,
I shut my door and sigh.
Miley stood and took off her green striped coat. Water still trickled off of it as she hung it on a hook next to the door. She ran upstairs, stripping off her shoes as she did so, and flinging herself onto her bed. After a moment, she stood. Her damp imprint was still engraved on her bed, and she walked over and shut her door.
Just an emotion
Only my heart knows why
She walked into her Hannah closet and turned on the switch that made her clothing spin in circles, allowing her to see all of it. After a moment, thunder and lightning began, and barely seconds after that, the power went out. Miley sighed dejectedly. "I love you, Jake," she said as she fell asleep. Her sleep suspended reality, and she was unable to see her new text message.
I miss you.
A/N: Now that you've suffered enough... REVIEW:)
P.S. I recommend (that's misspelled, right?) checking Aselin's song. It's not on iTunes, yet, though. Youtube it, guys. It's amazing.
