Hickies, Razor Blades, and Sharpies

Chapter 3

Miley's POV

Biology was so long today. I mean, how many times do we have to dissect this stupid frog? I think we get it already. They have organs in their bodies too. When the bell rang I rushed out before I had to be one of the people who had to clean up the frog guts again. "Hey Miley." I turned around to see the one person I couldn't stand being around. "Hey Rosie."

"Haven't talked to you in a while, how's it been?"

"It's been… whatever." I said walking off. I wasn't going to let her back into my life that easy.

"I hear you're friends with Alex again. You finally tap that ass like I told you to?" I turned back around. She had a wicked look in her eyes and a sneaky grin. Then she walked closer to me. "Fine don't talk, but remember this Miley. If you don't make a move I will." she grinned again before walking off. She wouldn't do that to me again, would she?

Flashback….

I was just talking with some of my friends when Alex walked up to her locker beside us. "Hey Alex." I said. She just waved and went back to what she was doing. Then the 10th grade jerk, Oliver, came over and bothered her. She just brushed off like he was nothing; and then he said something that really got her started. "So when you plan on getting with me? We all know it's going to happen." She stopped and looked at him. "First of all, stop calling me baby. I'm not your damn baby. Second of all, haven't you heard I'm a lesbian? I'm. Never. Going. To. Sleep. With. You. And finally, if you keep harassing me like this, I'll rip your dick off and hand it to you for dinner. You got it?" Wow, never thought she held that much anger. He quickly went back to his buddies and I apologized for him. "Sorry about him."

"Nah, it's totally cool."

"Alright..." I wanted to say more, but I didn't know what to say.

"Um Miley?" I looked up

"Yeah"

"Are you going to prom?" I nodded because I couldn't speak. Was she going to ask me to prom? "How about you? I didn't see you at the 8th grade one."

"Yeah I'm going this time. I didn't want to go to last year's prom. It would have sucked anyway."

"You're right about that." I laughed.

"Alright, well I'll see you there." I guess she wasn't going to ask so I just nodded and turned back to my friends. All the boys were gone now. "Hey girls, I think our little Miley might have a crush." Rosie said. They all started giggling. "I do not have a crush on anyone." Liar

"Hey, I wouldn't be ashamed to like her." She said.

"I don't like her." She just grinned.

"I hope you're not lying. Because if you don't go after her I will." she spoke with her hands up. We all started walking off and then Rosie pulled me back. "Look I know you like her. Just promise me you'll be careful, I heard she gets around." She looked serious.

"I promise." I said walking off. Every day after that I talked to Alex more and more. Rosie even started talking to her more, probably just telling her not to mess with my feelings. I was expecting Alex to ask me to prom, but the day of it she didn't come to school. I should've just asked her; maybe we could bump into each other though. Later me and some of the girls started a quick game of truth and dare right before prom started after all of us got dress. I wasn't too much for this game because people either wanted to get in your business with the truth or made you do crazy things with dares. I sat out and watched as they were having fun. "Miley, are you sure you don't want to play?" Lily said. I shook my head.

"She's just chicken" Rosie laughed and so did the others

"Alright, I'll play then." I slid into their little circle.

It went from being dared to lick the floor to going outside and mooning 5 different cars passing by. Finally it was my turn again and after picking truth 7 times already, I was required to pick dare this time. "Dare," It seemed like they all had this planned by their wicked smiles.

"We dare you to go to prom with Oliver, stay in his hotel room with him all night, and you have to let him touch you how he wants too in public." Joanie said.

"What?"

"You heard me Stewart; now call him before he's taken."

"Here, use my phone." Rosie said.

I went through her contacts and found that jerks name. I waiting patiently as the phone ringed. Please don't answer, please don't answer. "Hey hot stuff." Man I hated this guy.

"Hey Oliver, its Miley…"

"Oh, hey sexy." Ew, did he do this to every girl?

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?" Please say no, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen. "Hells yeah!" he shouted. "See you there babe"

This was going to be horrible. The game was called to an end and we all went to touch up our makeup. Maybe I could put so much on it would look like I had a black eye and he wouldn't want to go with me. Nah, then Alex would see that and I wouldn't want her to. Everyone drove in separate cars because no one wanted to be left without a ride. I arrived an hour late, when the dance floor was filled and everyone already knew each other's dates. "I thought you'd never show, sweet thing." I turned to see him standing there staring at my breasts. Really dude? "My face is up here."

"Oh um, yeah" that's all he said before staring at them again.

Most of the night was spent him bragging about how I was begging to go with him. I was lucky to get time away from him when I used the bathroom and asked him for something to drink. I haven't even seen Alex all night. I sank in the chair as he went to get the punch. "Someone please shoot me."

"You could at least pretend to be happy." Rosie stood behind me.

"No, that's too hard." She just shook her head

"Hey, have you seen Alex anywhere?"

"Nope, but I heard she brought this really hot date." Oh. "I don't know how to tell you this…"

"Tell me what?" she breathed in and out before speaking again.

"I told Alex about your crush on her and she said she's flattered you like her but that she only likes you as a friend." If Oliver didn't already ruin my night, that did. I really thought she liked me, "Sorry girl." Was the last thing Rosie said before walking off. "May I have this dance pretty lady?" Just a little more time with him and then I could relax. I got up and he pulled me in for the slow song. This was peaceful compared to the whole night; I wish he would have acted like this the entire time. Then I felt his hands grab my ass, guess I spoke to soon. After the dance they announced prom king and queen. "Your prom king is…. Jake Ryan." Mr. Larietate said. Everyone clapped, he was the star quarterback. Its pretty cliché isn't it? "You guys don't have to clap, he wins it every year." Mr. Larietate mumbled. He had a point, 8th grade, 9th, and now 10th. "Whatever, and now your prom queen…. Rosie Smith?" he looked hard at the card. "Do you guys like having the same people win each year?" Everyone just kept clapping. "Has anyone seen Rosie?" Jake stood there all alone with his crown waiting while people started looking around. After 2 minutes of looking he decided to give the crown to whoever could catch it. "1, 2… 3"

The crown went in the air and came down into a dark haired girl's hands. She turned around and placed it on top of a girl of blond girls head. After the blond kissed her they left the room hand and hand. I wished I could be like that with Alex. "Come on babe; let's go back to the room." Oliver said pulling me into the lobby. Once we reached his door I heard footsteps running down the hallway but we walked inside before I could see who it was. Most of the night was spent dodging his touches and kisses. After he kept bothering me I locked myself into the bathroom. Later besides his groans I heard bumping and screaming. "Hey Oliver," I walked out "you hear that?" he looked confused at me.

"Here what?"

"That thumping," I said walking into the hallway

"Oh that, it's probably someone just getting lucky…. Like I was supposed to be." He mumbled the last part but I still heard it.

I looked at the room number: 326

"This is Rosie's room." He got happy

"Well maybe I could join them…" I looked at him disgusted. "I was kidding, a little."

We went back into the room and I cut on the TV. The bathroom was getting boring. Once the clock hit 12:01 I got up ready to leave out of his room, but he stopped me at the door. "Where are you going?"

"To my friend's room, it's boring in here." The bet said I had to stay all night, not morning too.

"Well it wouldn't be boring if you just let me have sex with you."

"Then I still wouldn't be having any fun."

"The bet says you can't leave, you have to stay all night." He looked at me smiling

"Yeah but its 12:02 and I can…. Wait, how did you know about the bet?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" He kept his arm in front of me. "Move out of the way."

"No" he said simply and pushed me back.

"Move!" I yelled pushing against him, but he was too strong. He slammed me against the wall and tried to slide his hands under my dress. I screamed when he ripped my dress and kissed my neck fiercely. I slapped him accidently scratching three long cuts into his cheek. It was a bonus. After picking up my shoes and phone I quickly left the room to find Lily. I stood in front her door waiting for an answer; I've knocked 13 times already. "Who is it?"

"Miley" she opened the door leading me into a dark room. I assumed she got the room with her parents' credit card, that's what of the kids here did anyway. She was only wearing a bra and panties when she hopped back into the bed. "You've been sleeping this whole time?"

"Yeah, now shh. I want to go back to sheep land." I laughed before pulling off my dress, grabbing the blanket off the bed and laying down on the couch. I figured I wouldn't tell her about Oliver; it wasn't her problem to fix.

The next day I got up early to go to my car and get some clothes. As I was about to open the door I saw Alex running. "Hi Alex" she waved and I fanned her over. "How was your night?" I asked.

"Long." She said not looking my way.

"Mine too." Then came an awkward silence. "So where were you? I didn't see you all night."

She mumbled something but I couldn't quite hear it straight. "What?"

"Nothing, I got to go." she said running away.

"Maybe we could hangout after school one day?" I asked hopefully.

"Nope. I'm too busy." And then she was gone, she rode off quickly. What was with her, maybe she knew that Rosie told me what she thought of me. It must have been awkward for her. After getting my clothes, taking a shower, and gathering some of my friends up, we all went to a diner for breakfast. Everyone was talking about their night when Rosie slid in to the booth we were sitting in. "Hey Rosie, where were you? I knocked on your door and no one answered." I said hugging her.

"I was probably in the shower, I had one incredible night." Everyone was curious now.

"What did you do?"

"Well what I didn't do was get much sleep." She smirked

"No Miley, you asked the wrong question. Who did you do?" Joanie asked

"Alex" was all she said and my heart dropped "She was all over me. I couldn't even relax before she did me again." They were all listening to her every word while my mind zoned out. She slept with the girl that I've had a crush since 4th grade. She knew that I liked her; she knew that every time Alex would speak I'd melt. She knew why I didn't want to take any guy to 8th grade prom. She knew everything about me and now she knew how it felt to be with the girl I've only dreamed of having. "Where you going Miley?" I stood up rushing out the door. I drove straight home and when I arrived I cried all night into my pillow. That's what my entire weekend was like…

When Monday came I tried to pick myself up as much as possible, so I at least didn't look broken. When I arrived at the school word had gotten out about Alex and Rosie. Rosie seemed to be loving it as always, but Alex was a little distant. People were high fiving and hitting on her; and she smiled back but it always seemed forced. When I saw her in the hallway that day with Rosie, I just stopped. It wasn't very noticeable that I had frozen because there were so many people in the hall. They were just talking and smiling, but Alex still seemed off. When she noticed me looking I turned quickly. Rosie scanned the hallway to see were Alex's eyes once were. When she saw me she glared and starting walking full force at me. "I'd really appreciated if you stopped gawking at my girl."

"What! What are you talking about?" I was so confused, now she was her 'girl'?

"You heard what I said Stewart, lay off or I'll lay you out."

"Whatever?" I said walking back down the hallway. That was last day I spoke to anyone that year.

Soon Alex and Rosie broke up. Rosie kept her popularity and Alex kept that reputation. Next year I just tried to forget everything, and it worked because I became friends with Alex. You know, like a person you talk to, but don't tell all your business to. I still liked her; I just couldn't take the rejection.

As I walked back down the hall I passed Lily. "Hey Lils, where you headed"

"To find Demi, she left this really cute note in my locker." She held it up for me to read.

"I never knew about happiness;
I didn't think dreams came true;
I couldn't believe in love,
Until I finally met you."

Joanna Fuchs

"Aww, that's sweet." She nodded her head. "Well I hope you find her." That girl was so lucky to find someone that cared about her. Even though I didn't even know they were together. I walked into my math class and sat by the window, just one more hour and then you could be with Alex again. This was going to take forever.

I'm not sure if I should write a Rosie's POV or not, so it could explain her side of the story. I might, still debating.
