Meant to be
Ch. 1
"Hey Lilly! How was your trip to Italy?" Miley asked eagerly.
"Awesome! I couldn't believe my eyes, it was the most beautiful place," Lilly replied.
"Meet any guys? Possibly with friends?" Miley giggled.
"Well..." Lilly looked down bashfully.
"Well, who?!?!? I need to know!" Miley straightened up.
"His name was Callistus... I think it's supposed to mean most beautiful," Lilly blushed.
"Awwww!" Miley exclaimed.
"Well, anyway, anything exciting happen while I was gone?" Lilly asked quickly, changing the subject.
"Nothing really... Jackson's Birthday was yesterday, he just turned 17," Miley said, then started tearing up.
"Miley? What's wrong? Are you O.K?" Lilly asked puzzled.
Pause
"Well, kind of... I didn't want to tell you right away because that wouldn't be a good welcome home, but here it is..." Miley paused again.
"Jackson... Jackson found out he has a tumor," Miley sniffed.
"Oh my gosh- NO this can't happen!" Lilly started to tear up aswell.
"We can't do much to help it, except hope for the best," Miley tried to think positively.
"Yeah, I guess," Lilly hugged Miley tightly, "I will always be here for you and your family," she continued.
"Thank you so much, I really appriciate it," Miley wiped her tears.
"How about we go to the beach, that will take your mind off of it," Lilly said, trying to cheer her friend up.
"Great idea," Miley replied.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THE BEACH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I'll race ya to the water!" Miley yelled.
"You bet!" Lilly smiled.
They both ran, laughing, not even thinking about what they talked about just a few minutes earlier.
Miley went out pretty far, then she heard a whistle. Lilly wasn't as far out.
"Swim back in! The current is pretty bad! Your caught in a rip-tide!" The lifegaurd called out to Miley and motioned his hands.
Miley could not hear him. A few seconds later, she couldn't feel the sand floor of the ocean! She tried so hard to swim back to where Lilly and the lifegaurd were standing.
"I'll go get her, you stay here," The lifegaurd told Lilly.
He swam out to rescue Miley. When they got to the shore line, he had no choice but CPR- yes mouth to mouth. Lilly seemed somewhat jelous.
When Miley could breath again, she said-
"Oh my gosh thank you so much... you, you saved my life!" She looked up at the cute lifegaurd. His eyes were marvelous, his teeth- so perfect, his dirty-blonde hair was swaying in the wind, everything about him was wonderful.
"No, problem, it's my job. You really shouldn't be going out that far, especially in this season," The lifegaurd said.
"I know, won't happen again!" Miley insisted, still gazing into his sparkling eyes.
"Hey! Aren't you Jackson's sis?" He asked.
"Umm... yes why?" Miley answered, remembering her sadness for him.
"I'm in his class, he's pretty cool," He replied.
"Oh... umm thanks?" She said not knowing what to say.
"What's your name?" The lifegaurd asked.
"Miley," She answered as though she thought he'd never ask in a million years.
"That's a beautiful name, oh and I am Mark," he smiled.
They just stared for minutes, not saying a word.
"Well, I better go, I should be on duty!" He finally said.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry!" Miley forgot he was on duty. "And thank you again... for saving me!"
"Anytime!" He ran to the lifegaurd chair.
"Man! Can you call that a fairy tale!" Lilly smirked.
"What?" Miley asked.
"You know what I'm talking about- he's perfect for you!" Lilly answered.
"Really? It was just a rescue," Miley exclaimed.
"Come on, Miles, then why were you staring at him for 10 hours?" Lilly exaggerated.
"Hmmm maybe it is the right guy for me," Miley said.
"That's the spirit!" They both laughed and departed from the beach.
