I appreciate the reviews! Thanks guys.

An answer to ayoxxkerrie's review: Yeah, it's supposed to be like that. I don't know what exactly is going to happen to him yet, though, but I'll see.


Miley's POV.

My eyes were puffy and red from so much crying. I always wondered just when things were going to end, and also how. When I look back at what happened, I sat there thinking what Jake wanted from me. Usually, I wouldn't let anything and anyone get to me, but this was different, I guess. There were times where I wanted to tell people that Jake Ryan wasn't the 'perfect' boyfriend like everyone makes him out to be, that he was just a lying, deceiving, snobbish, and stuck-up actor, but I knew that if I told anyone he could have done much, much worse to me. I couldn't even tell my two best friends about what was going on! It was tearing me up inside badly, and as much as I wanted to scream to the world that nothing was going right, I had to keep it to myself... until last night. What am I going to do now that Oliver knows?

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts.

I went downstairs and opened the door to find Lilly there... much to my surprise.

"Lilly! Hi! What are you doing here?" I asked, nervous about her surprise visit.

"Hey Miley!" she replies, before looking at my face, arms, and legs. "What happened to you? You're covered in bruises!" She came inside.

You're going to have to tell her one day, you know.

No, I won't. I don't want to, and I won't, so hush.

Fine. Let her find out the hard way.

What hard way?

It could ruin your friendship.

It won't.

"Oh, nothing, I just fell down the stairs pretty badly yesterday. Talk about painful!" I told her, with a look on my face that seemed to contradict what I had just told her.

She's not going to buy it.

"Really?" she asked. "That had to hurt."

"You think?" I replied.

"Hehe, sorry. I wonder what's on TV nowadays, apart from those stupid reality TV shows."

"Well, there's 'That '70s Show' on right now, and it's one of my favorite shows. Come on, let's watch that!", I exclaimed.


Lilly's POV

After a great number of laughs and many drinks, Mother Nature had called.

"I'll be right back, Miley." I told her.

"Okay, Lilly."

I went upstairs, and after I got out of the bathroom I noticed something strange on the floor. There was a blood stain on the carpet, which led me to start asking myself a question.

Where did that come from?

I decided to go to her room to see if I could find anything over there. I didn't have much luck, so I tried Jake's room. In there, I didn't find much either, until I put my hands on a drawer to find some objects... objects that people would call weapons, and boy did I find a LOT of those.
One of them caught my eye though. An iron bar with blood on it.

What's going on here?

I quickly put it back inside, stepped out of the room, shut the door, and went back downstairs with a lot of unanswered questions to ask my best friend.

"Hey Miley, can you bring me my bag downstairs? I forgot something."

Miley's POV

"Hey Miley, can you bring me my bag downstairs? I forgot something."

Hmm. Something doesn't sound right.

I went upstairs to give her her bag anyway. When I got there, she had a serious look on her face, that could only mean one thing.

Shit.

"Here's your bag, Lilly." I told her, pretending to ignore the look on her face. "What's with the serious face? Is something wrong?"

"Yes, there's something wrong. Miley, you know I've always been there for you, right? Do you remember when you and I swore that we wouldn't keep secrets from each other?" she said, her voice dropping lower and lower by the minute.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

I told you she wouldn't buy it.

Shut up.

How are you going to explain this to her now?

I'll just tell her flat out.

Fine.

"Yes, of course I do! Why do you ask?" I asked, ignoring her voice.

Stop playing stupid.

"Miley, you lied to my face earlier. I know for a fact that you didn't tell me the truth earlier when I was at your door. Now tell me, how did this happen?" she asked.

She won't leave until I tell her.

I didn't answer. I looked away.

"Does this have anything to do with Jake?" she asked, quietly, noticing how nervous I was.

I looked up at her, broke down in tears and told her everything from the beginning until earlier.

Lilly's POV.

I had no idea Jake could be such a jerk! To think I actually liked that guy! If I ever get my hands on him... he's going to pay. A lot.

I hugged my best friend while she cried to me about everything. I felt bad for almost yelling at her earlier.

"I'm sorry, Miley," I said, rubbing her back while she sobbed. "I didn't know about it, and I only asked because I care about you."

"I know, Lilly," she replied, wiping the tears off her face. "I just couldn't tell anyone, and now that Jake's gone and Oliver knows, what am I going to do?"

"There, there. You know that Oliver and I will always be there for you. Now come on, let's go back downstairs and watch some movies later tonight, are you up for it?"

"Oliver's coming already. You can join us, if you want." she said.

"No thanks, that's ok. I think I'll be at home instead, hanging out with my parents and all," I answered, trying not to smile. "I have to go. I'll call you later, okay Miley?"

"Okay, Lilly. Again, thank you very much, and I'm sorry." she replied, hugging me once back.

I hoped Oliver would tell her one day. The poor guy's had it for her so bad, it's been tearing him apart. He never showed it, though, which is kind of strange. Hopefully, he will ask her out.

On that thought, I walked out the door, and went home.


Review. Any suggestions about the next chapter?
