Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry for not updating! I swear that I've been piled with school work. In the last like 2 weeks I had 4 projects due, 2 essays to write, 7 quizzes, and 2 tests, or something like that but it was A LOT. I haven't had ANY time at all for the computer. And my grandmother is in really bad condition, and that's also kept me away.

Give thanks to the people at moliverfans for reminding me I needed to update.

Chapter 4

"Comfort"

"OH MY GOD!" Lilly screamed as she ran into Miley's room the next morning. "MILEY! Are you okay? Jackson told me what happened last night. I really hope your okay. If you need me I'm here. Are you traumatized from it? I know that I would be. How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Miley sighed and looked at her, "Thanks for reminding me. I've been so lost in my thoughts I totally forgot about that. But, yeah, I guess I'm okay. I'm a bit traumatized, and I'm feeling terrified."

Lilly's hyper, worried expression softened for her friend and she walked over towards her and eloped her in a hug.

Miley hugged Lilly back and they stayed in that position, just hugging, for a couple minutes. "Thanks, Lilly. I needed that."

"Anytime, Miley. That's what I'm here for." Lilly told her.

"The police are at Chris's house now. To see if the body is there. I'm so scared, Lilly. She looked exactly like me." Miley informed her. "I can't help but think, what if? What if that would have been me? What if he's coming for me tonight in my sleep? Just what if? It's traumatizing."

"I wish I could say I know how you feel, but I don't. I can only imagine." Lilly said.

"It's all right Lilly. I know you don't. I'm just really glad we're friends." Miley hugged her again.

"Me too," Lilly hugged her back. Have you ever noticed how much we've changed since we were younger?"

"Yeah, a little bit." Miley confessed, walking out on her balcony to look up at the clouds again.

Lilly followed and sat in the other beach chair that was on it. "I mean, like, look at us, we've changed so much in looks. And so has Oliver and even Jackson. We are so much different. It's weird, you know?"

"Yeah, but we just grew up. We have changed a lot though. You're hair got, like, a little darker and you got taller. Oliver got hot, not that he wasn't before, he just go hotter. And he got taller. Jackson got uglier. And me, well, I got taller. That's pretty much it."

Lilly scrunched her nose in disgust at the mention of Oliver getting hot, "Hey! I think Jackson got hotter and Oliver got uglier."

Miley laughed at her and Lilly followed suit.

"What's so funny?" Oliver said as he walked through the balcony door and sat on a chair.

"We're arguing about who got uglier, you or Jackson." Miley said with a grin.

"Psh, Jackson did, I'm downright sexy." Oliver said cockily.

Miley and Lilly both rolled there eyes at him and smacked him on the shoulder.

"Looks like Smokin' Oken got even more conceited, too." Lilly said.

Miley only laughed at her. "Yeah, but he's allowed to be. He's my boyfriend. Plus, you should be used to it. You've been friends for him, only your whole life."

"Yeah, I am used to it. Oh sure, use the boyfriend excuse to gang up on me. I see how it is." Lilly folded her arms and pretended to be mad.

Miley and Oliver laughed at her, and Lilly noticed Greg and Jeff walking through her room, towards the balcony where they were at.

"Greg and Jeff alert." Lilly said and pointed to them as they were walking out.

"Morning Miley, Lilly, Oliver." Jeff and Greg both said.

"Morning," The trio said in unison.

Miley turned to them with a slightly scared expression on her face, and she sat up. "So, what's the deal? Did you find my mystery look-a-like person?"

"No, but we did find something else." Greg said.

"What?" Miley asked.

"A note, for us. Saying that he hid the body and we would never be able to find it. And that, he wished us look for looking after you…" Jeff trailed off.

Greg looked at Miley, "He wrote that he was going to come after you and kill you. He said it was out of anybody's hands and that right now, it was his move, because he's controlling the game."

OLIVER'S POV

Miley took one look at their serious expressions and she started crying. "I'm going to die. I'm going to die." She repeated that over and over again.

I walked over and sat beside her. I grabbed her by the shoulders and looked her in the eyes, "Miley, you are NOT going to die. I'm not going to let that bastard hurt you. And neither will Jeff, Greg, your dad, Lilly, or Jackson. You have plenty of people willing to take a bullet for you and protect you. Greg and Jeff are amazing at what they do. You're not going to die. Do you hear me? You're NOT going to die!"

"Yes I am!" She wailed. I can't believe how stubborn she can be sometimes. "I'm going to die. Chris is going to kill me!"

I gripped her shoulders a little big harder and started shaking them, "MILEY RAY STEWART! I don't want you talking like that! No matter what, none of us are going to let ANYTHING happen to you! Got it?"

"But what if something does Oliver? I'm sorry, but Chris is right. This is out of our hands. Chris makes the next move. Not us. Basically, in his little 'game' Chris moves for us. Chris plays the game and we're letting him. You never know, something just might!" Miley told me.

I leaned towards her a little more and I kissed her temple, then her forehead. "I won't let anything happen to you, Miles. Neither will anybody else here."

"Aww," Lilly cooed at me.

Miley managed to crack a smile. "Thanks," She said as she wiped a tear away.

I wiped another tear away from her, "There's my smiley."

I smelt something, "FOOD!" I got up and hurried up and opened her door and within 5 seconds I was downstairs.

MILEY'S POV

I rolled my eyes and looked at Lilly, she was rolling her eyes too. "Leave it to him to be sensitive for once then go and ruin it with his boy brain."

Lilly laughed at me, "Yeah, that's Oliver for you. C'mon, let's go downstairs to see what's cooking."

Lilly and I both got up and headed downstairs, Greg and Jeff following suit.

I'm SO sorry that it's not longer. I really am.

If you haven't read my explanation to why I haven't updated scroll up and read it.

Hmm.. How about 10 reviews again? I'd really appreciate it. And I'll update by.. Thursday. And if I don't, you all can throw virtual tomatoes at me. And that's being generous of me, because I absolutely HATE tomatoes.
