Chapter 2

Miley gave a final wave to the cashier in the small grocery store and as she walked out into the sunshine. She lifted her hand to the top of her head, lowering her Chanel sunglasses to cover her blue eyes. She pulled her cell phone out of her pocket and pressed speed dial 3, Jake.

"Hello?" He said. In the background, there were many voices and people talking. Miley assumed he was on the set of Zombie Slayer.

"Hey, baby," she replied, trying to sound happy.

"Oh, hey, babe. I'm just finishing up on set right now."

"Oh. Listen, can we go to dinner tonight? I have something to tell you," she said, biting her fingernails out of nervousness.

"Sure. I'll pick you up at 8:30 tonight. Okay?"

"That's fine, see you then," she said, hanging up the phone. She walked home and went to take a shower. She washed her hair in with her favorite coconut shampoo and conditioner, shaved her legs and then got out. As she was standing in front of the steamy mirror, she wrapped a white towel around her body, then turned sideways to see if there was any sign of a baby. So far, her stomach was as flat and toned as it had been before, and Miley sighed a breath of relief.

Miley ran a brush through her long, curly locks and blow dried it completely. Afterwards, she dusted light pink eyeshadow over her eyelids and carefully applied black eyeliner on her eyelids. She swiped her black mascara on and then swept bronzer on her cheeks, giving her the "just got back from Mexico" appearance. To finish off her makeup, she spread pink lipgloss across her lips.

She went to her walk-in closet, rummaging through her clothes before settling on a light yellow cotton dress. It was short and swayed when she walked. She put on her white flats and then grabbed her white patent leather clutch, putting her cell phone, some makeup, and some money inside. She went downstairs and turned on MTV while waiting for Jake. Her dad was gone and Jackson didn't live with them anymore after going to college, so house was pretty much empty

It was already 9:15 and Miley went in the kitchen to find something small to eat. Jake was 45 minutes late, which was unusual. As soon as she was about to give up, Jake knocked on the door. "Good evening, my sunshine!" he said with a smile. He leaned in to kiss her, closing his eyes, but she just walked past him annoyed. She wasn't in a very good mood after throwing up all morning, dealing with the annoyed cashier at the grocery store, the 3 pregnancy tests that day, and then waiting for an hour for him to come.

He rushed after her. "What's wrong, honey?"

"You're late," she said with an edge in her voice.

"Sorry, the traffic was bad and we had to film more scenes. Sorry."

"Whatever. Let's go."

They got in the limo and the whole way to the restraunt, neither said a word.

When they got there, they ordered their food. "So how's the Hannah stuff doing?" Jake asked her to get rid of the awkward silence.

"It's been okay. I had a concert this morning."

"How was it?"

"It sucked. I was constantly throwing up at the breaks," she said, forgetting that Jake didn't know.

"Why? Are you sick, Miley?" he asked, worried about her.

"Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

"What is it?"

"Do you remember a few nights ago at your house when we kinda… you know."

He grinned. "How could I forget? Why, you interested in doing it again? I'd be glad to."

"No, no, it's not that. You see," she said, lowering her voice. He leaned in. "I'm pregnant."

"What?" he said, unsure of whether or not he heard her right.

"I'm having a baby, Jake."

He laughed. "That's funny, Miley, now what is it?"

"Jake, this isn't a joke. I am PREGNANT," she said, saying 'pregnant' slowly as if talking to a preschooler.

"Well you're getting an abortion, right?"

"Of course not!" she said, stunned that he would want to do something like that.

"Won't you think about how this will affect ME?" Jake shouted.

"Like it wont affect me?" The waiter came to give them their dinner, and when he left, she continued. "Hannah can't be pregnant! She is 16! I am 16! You said you were using 'protection', and you're blaming it on ME? Grow up, Jake!"

"We're done!"

"What?"

"You heard me! This relationship is DONE."

"You're going to leave me to raise a child on my own?"

"You'll be 17 when you have the baby. You'll do fine."

She slapped him across his face. "Jerk," she said, storming out of the restraunt. Tears fell freely from her eyes and she didn't even try to stop them. She swiftly lifted her hand, hailing a cab. The whole way home, she was crying. She called Lilly and she came over right away.

Lilly rubbed her back sympathetically. "I'm sorry, Miles, Jake was a jerk."

Miley nodded her head in agreement. "But guess what?" Lilly asked excitedly.

"What?" Miley asked, curious of what Lilly was going to suggest.

"I met this guy today, Joe. He said he has a band named The Jonas Brothers and gave me two tickets and backstage passes for us to see them! There's a guy our age, who's name is Nathan or Nick or Nate, and then Joe, who's 19, but he's all mine," she said with a laugh, "but not really. I just like him. And there's a guy who's I think 23 named Kevin. Too good to be true, right?"

Miley glared at her. "Did you already tell them I was coming?"

"No, sorta, maybe. But you'll totally like them. I hadn't heard of them until I met him yesterday and he gave me a copy of their CD. It's really good, you'll like them."

"Okay fine, but I'm not guaranteeing anything. When is the concert?"

"Eep! It's tomorrow night at 7. I'm so excited! We'll go shopping tomorrow, and get some outfits for it, and I was thinking about wearing…" Lilly continued, but Miley was thinking about the baby. Was Jake right about abortion? She didn't want to do that to a precious baby, but then again, nobody would like Hannah Montana after they found that she'd made a mistake and was pregnant.

The crowd cheered after the boys finished playing "Goodnight and Goodbye." Miley's eyebrows rose. "Good, huh?" Lilly said, grinning. She knew that Miley would enjoy this break from Jake, and she knew she would love Nick even more after she saw him, because they were late and the boys' backs were to them so she hadn't actually seen the boys yet. They were standing backstage at the concert the next night, and so far, Miley hadn't thought about the baby or Jake once.

"Yeah, wow. I can't believe I haven't heard of them!"

"I know, that's how I was, too. Oh, here they come!" Lilly squealed.

Joe and Kevin walked out first, and Joe gave Lilly a hug and introduced her to Kevin. Lilly introduced both to Miley. Nick came strolling in a few seconds later, and Miley instantly blushed and looked down when he looked in his eyes. He was gorgeous.

As soon as Nick walked off stage, he looked up and saw a girl with long, wavy brown hair. He was lost in a trance looking into her blue eyes when Joe interrupted his thoughts. "Dude, this is Miley. Lilly's friend." Nick nodded his head towards Miley. She smiled sheepishly back.

Miley heard a squeal come from behind her, and knew it wasn't Lilly because Lilly was standing right next to her, flirting with Joe. She looked behind and saw a girl about their age walking fast towards them. She had long, dirty blond hair and blue eyes. She walked straight up to Nick, hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. "You did so great, Nicky!"

"Uh, thanks," he said, uncomfortable with the situation.

"Who is that?" Lilly asked curiously after looking up and seeing her.

He looked down at the ground. "This is, uh, this is my girlfriend."
