Chapter 1: Suspended
Well here I am in a new category. Maybe I can get some new readers with this and maybe more ideas for stories.
Note: This is a bit of a dark fic and is my first attempt at a Hannah Montana story. I'm not bashing any of the characters through this story nor am I trying to insult anybodies favorite character, so let's try to keep things civil.
Lilly arrived home from school slouched, dragging her backpack against the ground. She walked into her house and dropped her bag at the door; she wasn't in the mood to be doing homework right now.
The blond made her way through the kitchen, not attempting to hide her emotions from her mother, who was making something to eat. "Lilly honey, what's wrong?" She asked, concerned.
Lilly opened the refrigerator and got a can of soda, then she said; "Not now mom, I want to be alone" in a very saddened tone.
Lilly's mother understood how her daughter worked, she'd want to be alone and after an hour she was ready to talk about whatever it was, but had to be approached, Ms. Truscott always played Lilly's way.
The sixteen year old entered her room and closed the door; she placed the soda on her nightstand and flopped down on her bed, small whimpers escaping her.
Her phone rang; Lilly let it ring several times before picking it up. "Yeah?" She said in a depressed voice.
"Lilly, I don't know what happened between you and those two…" It was Miley, and she was referring to Amber and Ashley. "But don't let it get to you, you're way better than they'll ever be and you have a bright future, don't let insignificant thorns get you down."
The words were encouraging and did make Lilly feel a little better, but she still wanted some time to herself. "Thanks Miley… Listen, I'm gonna turn in early tonight, I'll see you tomorrow."
"You got it" Miley said before hanging up.
Lilly took a deep breath and then a sip of her soda; she changed into her pajamas and laid back down on her bed, thinking about what the two witches of the west had said to her.
Miley and Oliver returned to Miley's house, neither had been with Lilly when she encountered Amber and Ashley and so don't know exactly what happened but they had heard at least most of the rumors. "So do you think Max was there?" Oliver queried.
"If he was he's lying, Lilly may not be the brightest bulb in the hallway but she's not gonna kick another girl between the legs" Miley said.
"Point taken… Well what about Sarah?"
Miley gave the boy a strange look. "Sarah didn't even really tell us what happened unless…" Miley took a step back from the counter and covered her eyes with her hands and convulsed her upper body as she said, "Oh my goodness, it was terrible, I couldn't believe it, I, Oh my, holy crap, I don't believe it!" She stopped and looked back to Oliver. "Translates from nerdette to a version of what she saw!"
"Oh not that Sarah, I meant Sarah Maroni" Oliver said.
"I don't listen to a word that comes out of that girl's mouth, she spreads more gossip than an army of senior citizens" Miley said.
"How about John?"
"John Crowley? He's got the most believable story I've heard but…"
"So you really think Lilly clawed out one of Amber's eyes?" Oliver chirped up excitedly.
"Well I think that was an exaggeration but…"
Oliver interrupted again. "And you think Ashley really slammed Lilly's head into a locker?"
"Well I didn't say…"
"And you think Lilly tore off Ashley's skirt and…" This time Miley was the one who interrupted.
"Enough! I'm not jumping to any conclusions and I'm not talking about it anymore until I talk to Lilly" and that ended the conversation.
Exactly fifty-eight minutes after Lilly had entered her house her mother came to join her in her room. "Lilly honey…" Heather Truscott asked gently. "You ready to talk?" Lilly was sitting on the side of her bed; she pushed her hair out of her face and nodded. Her mother sat next to her, with only as much space between them so that they weren't touching. "What happened today sweetie?"
Lilly sniffed up and said "Ashley and Amber…" Ms. Truscott knew full well about them and the torment they put her daughter through. "They said things to me today…" Lilly paused.
"What did they say?"
"They asked me why I can't hold a boyfriend… Then mocked me about how all the boys I get involved with leave me…"
Heather put her hand on her daughters back and rubbed. "Honey, don't let them push you around like that, those boys aren't good enough for you."
Lilly's eyes teared up slightly. "Then they said things about dad…" Lilly's mom knew this was a very touchy subject for her. The blond had a mixed relationship with her father, on the one hand he could be a kind and loving father who Lilly could look up to, and did. But on the other he could be a terror to be around, abusive at times. On more than one occasion he had hit Lilly, one time pushing her into a wall, dislocating her shoulder.
However through it all Lilly idolized him, them came the divorce. Once her father moved out Lilly became lost, the only person she looked up to had left her high and dry. Her mother approached her and had a chat with her about her father that lasted nearly half a day, trying to make her understand that her father wasn't everything she thought he was, Lilly listened and understood, but still loved her father which Ms. Truscott said was okay as long as she realized that her father wasn't the greatest.
"They said that he was a retarded drunk who was unfaithful and went off with some whore" Lilly's tears fell upon saying this.
Ms. Truscott pulled her daughter into a hug and held her, letting her cry and get the emotions out. After a few moments Heather said "Honey, whatever they said about your father they said out of ignorance, they don't know anything about him."
"I know but it made me so mad that I… I…" Lilly couldn't bring herself to say it, that was when Ms. Truscott noticed a scratch on her daughter's cheek which showed signs of being covered with makeup, explaining why she missed it before.
"You hit them didn't you?" Ms. Truscott said sympathetically, she wasn't angry with Lilly for initiating violence but was worried about the effects it may've had.
Lilly nodded and sniffed up again, "I pushed Amber away and as I turned Ashley scratched me across the face, then Amber got back up and pushed me into the wall."
Heather continued to comfort her daughter, after another few minutes she asked "Did the teachers see anything?" Lilly didn't answer but rather pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket and handed it to her mother. It was basically a long winded explanation about why Lilly was suspended for the next three days. She gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead. "It's okay honey, but next time just walk away alright? I don't want you to get hurt."
With that Ms. Truscott left Lilly alone. The blond turned on her TV and flipped to her favorite show which was about to start.
Again, this is my first Hannah Montana so be gentle. Reviews make me write faster.
