Chapter 3: An Unwelcomed Boy's Return

A/N: Hello there :) I would like to start off by apologizing. I am REALLY sorry that I haven't updated this story in months. I feel really bad about it. My stupid computer broke and I had the 3rd chapter typed on there and I was too lazy to retype it on my mom's computer. Well…here I am retyping it on my mom's computer. XD I've been thinking about this story lately and I think I'm going to add some drama, which you will witness in this chapter :) I'm actually glad I'm redoing this chapter cuz the one I wrote was corny and I think I have a better idea. Well Read&Relax&Enjoyy :)))

The class scurried out of the classroom. The only two people that were left were Oliver and Miley. It was a bit awkward. Oliver walked over towards Miley. He got closer, so close, that there were only a few inches separating them. He looked into her eyes intensely, as though he was studying them, studying their beauty, Miley's beauty. He took her face in his hands and moved in closer than he was before.

BAM! The door slammed open. "Excuse me, but drama club is meeting in here an- Miley?!"

"Oh my gosh-"

--

"Oh my gosh…Jake?!" Miley quickly released her embrace with Oliver.She was getting dizzy. She was unable breathe or see straight. Miley knew this day would come, but she prayed that it wouldn't.

"Why now? Why in the middle of Senior Year?" Miley thought, getting more and more upset. A tear ran down her cheek. Oliver looked at Miley's face and knew that something was wrong. He instantly glared over at Jake. Jake looked cocky and smug as usual.

"I-I have t-to go." Miley quickly walked passed Jake, but before she could get out of the classroom, he grabbed a hold of her arm. Miley looked back at him, but couldn't look him in the eyes.

"Where are you going babe," Jake asked tightening his grip. "That's not a way to welcome someone after they've been gone for over a year and a half."

"You're dead to me." Miley murmured under breath, now looking down at her feet.

"Now Miles, I know you don't mean that," Jake said getting frustrated. "Now give me a kiss and maybe I'll forget what you just said."

"NO!" Miley exclaimed. "Now let go of me Jake. Please!" She cried, attempting to pull her arm out of his grasp.

He pulled her in and whispered in her ear, "I'm back and I'm not leaving Miley Stewart. You better start showing me some respect or you'll pay for it later." Miley shivered letting out a few more tears. Jake let her arm go and Miley ran out the door. Oliver took a few steps toward Jake. He grabbed the collar of Jake's shirt.

"I don't know what is going on, but you better stay the hell away from Miley," Oliver snarled fiercely.

"Try and stop me Oken," Jake shot back. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a drama club meeting I have to prepare for."

"You better watch your back Jake Ryan." Oliver ran out of the classroom as fast as he could to catch up to Miley. Jake just laughed to himself in his I'm-hot-shit kind of way.

Oliver ran down the hall searching for Miley. He knew he was getting closer when he heard sobbing and sniffles coming from around the corner. He turned left and there Miley was, sitting on the ground against the lockers, crying her eyes out. Oliver ran over to her and kneeled next to her. He brushed her hair out of her eyes and she slowly looked up at him, tears still streaming down her face. She was shaking furiously. He wiped her tears away and pulled her close to him. It was the safest Miley felt in what seemed like a lifetime. Miley put her head to Oliver's chest and could hear his heart pounding. A small smile formed on her face. They sat there for a moment. Miley felt like she was in heaven.

"Hey, Cassie! Aren't you like totally excited to be taking the drama class with Jake Ryan?! He is so amazing!" The sound of his name brought tears to Miley again. She cried into Oliver's shirt. Oliver felt so horrible. He had no idea what was going on with Miley and Jake, but he was going to find out. He decided that he would wait for a better time to ask. He stroked her hair and her back to calm her down. They stayed that way for about an hour.

Miley fell asleep in Oliver's arms. He decided that it was time to leave, so he got up picking Miley up and carrying her out of the building. He paused for a moment looking at how peaceful she looked when she slept. Luckily, they both lived relatively close to school. They also lived only a few houses away from each other. Fifteen minutes later he passed her house and decided to go to his instead of dropping her off. He opened his door and took her into his living room, gently placing her on the sofa. He watched her sleep for a little while then slowly drifted off to sleep on the floor.
