The contract

Have you ever heard a story too farfetched to believe? I have a story. You might not believe it but I was there. I was there through it all. I saw through the signing of the contract and was with her until the man took her away. I was there through it all. If you have a heart, please listen to and learn from the tragic tale of Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana.

It all started on November the 13, 2003. I was working as a lawyer in the town of Crowley Corners, when a girl walked in. I knew her well. The girl was Miley Stewart. The whole town knew who she was because her mother had just died of cancer. It was a tragic battle. Anyway, Miley came over to me and said hello. I said hello, and we talked bullshit for about 20 minutes when she started asking me about contracts. I answered all her questions when she finally asked me something that would change my life forever. If only I had known then. The question was, "Can you be a witness to a contract I am about to sign."

"What kind of contract." I asked.

"A contract with the music business." She said.

"Sure" I said. So she gave me the time and place I was supposed to be. I took it and it was when she left that I took a closer look at the place she and I were meeting the contract signer. It was this weird looking cabin in the woods about 5 miles from town. When I was younger I and a few kids spent the night there. I was the only one who didn't go home to my mommy. Anyway the time was at midnight, the next night which happened to be the 13th. I drove out there hoping that I wasn't being lured into a trap. I went to the cabin and knocked. Miley opened the door and invited me in.

"When is the contract signer coming?" I asked

"He'll be here at midnight" Miley said. She and I both waited until there was a knock on the door. Miley went to the door and opened it and there standing there was a man in a black business suit. I would say he would have been about 40 or 45.

He walked in looked at me and asked "Are you the witness."

"Yes" I said.

"Ah, and a lawyer too, with his soul still intact. You don't see much of those anymore. Most lawyers today work for my minion, Greed." The man said with the heir of one laughing at a joke. I looked at him and thought he was familiar. I couldn't place his face but he seemed familiar. "Shouldn't we tell him" the man asked Miley.

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself" the man said. "My name is Mr. Scratch and I have to tell you, Mr. House, I don't trust you can handle what we are fixing to do." He scratched his head and started to talk when I cut him off.

"I know exactly what this is, Satan." I said disgustedly. "She is selling her soul to you." I said pointing at Miley.

"What tipped you off" the devil said in mock shock.

"The name Mr. Scratch." I said

"Well, Charlie, are you in or out." He said.

I pushed by him and walked over to Miley and said. "You don't know what you're doing; you are selling your immortal soul for what I may ask."

"Fame, fortune, and power." Miley said boldly.

"For what, a few a year, then hell awaits." I said.

"You don't understand, I am doing what is best for me right now." Miley said

I looked at her in wonder and shock. "Let me get this straight" I said. "You are going to sell your soul for just a few years of worldly recognition."

"It's not a few years," She said. "I'm not that stupid. "I am going in for the long haul. It's going to be 89 years."

I looked at the devil and then at Miley and did something I would later regret. "Are you sure you know what you are doing and the cost?" I asked.

"I am" Miley said.

"Then I am in" I said.

"Excellent." Satan said in glee. "Let's get to signing." He whipped out the contract and laid it on the table. Miley cut her hand with a knife and signed it in her own blood.

"Do I have to sign it like that?" I asked.

"No, here is a pen." The devil said giving me a pen. I sign it below the devil and Miley's name in the witness box. "There," the devil said in glee. "I'll see you in 86 years, Ms. Stewart." Satan said as he got up.

"Wait, you're forgetting the other part of signing." Miley said getting up a little afraid.

"Ah yes" Satan said

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"That will be all, Mr. House." Satan said walking toward Miley.

I took him at his word and ran from the house. I got in my car, turned the engine over and sped out of there. I didn't know nor care what the other part of signing the contract was nor did I care. I sped all the way home, got in my house, and locked the door. I breathed heavily as I looked in the mirror. All I saw was a man who had signed away a little girl's soul. I would see Miley Stewart again, and then I would help her fight against her contract. That is how Miley Stewart began the lie that would grow into Hannah Montana. In other words, Miley Stewart sold her soul to become Hannah Montana. Have you ever wondered how she just came up to fame? I would regret my involvement. I helped her sign away her soul but I would try to help her win it back. Oh how wrong I was.
