In this chapter, pretend that Good and Broken is a Hannah song, it's one of my favorite Miley songs so I'm including it :). By the way, did you all see the picture from Miley's new music video? It looks like it's going to be awesome, I can't wait. I'm getting so excited about all the Miley and Jonas Brother stuff that's coming out this summer. Anyways here is chapter 4, enjoy and please review :)
P.S. 7 things is available on iTunes, everyone go buy it and support Miley : )
Chapter 4:
"Come on dad, I'll be fine. I'm 14 years old I can take care of myself" Miley never thought she'd see the day that she had to beg her dad to let her go back to school, but hear she was. It had been a week since she had gotten out of the hospital and her dad was still treating her like she could break at any second. At first he had told her she could go back to school once he was sure that she was a 100 recovered from her hospital stay, but now her dad and Heather had decided that since there was only 3 weeks left it would be best for her to just finish the semester with a tutor. They figured that way she wouldn't have to worry about catching up or having to give herself shots in school until the fall. She knew that they meant well but it felt like they didn't trust her. They watched everything she ate, made her checked her blood sugar like a hundred times a day and then wouldn't even let her give herself her meds , they had becoming completely overbearing. That's why she wanted to go back to school, she didn't care if she had a lot of catching up to do, she just needed to get out of the house and away from her dad and Heather. Plus they wouldn't be able to be like this on the tour, Miley planned on keeping the revelation that Hannah Montana had diabetes away from the press as long as possible and if her dad kept hounding her it was going to give her away real quick. Only the tour director and her agent knew what had been going on the past few weeks, the band that she would be opening with didn't even know and she was planning on keeping it that way.
" Are you sure?"
" Yes, Lilly's in all of my classes. If anything happens she knows how to deal with it. I'll have all the things the doctor gave me in my backpack and you can talk to the school nurse and make sure she knows about everything. Please, I can't stand being cooped up in here." She told her dad giving him her best pouty face that she knew he couldn't say no too.
" Fine, but your cell has to be on at all times and if you don't feel well, go to the nurse."
" Thank you sooo much Daddy, you have no idea how much everything being back to normal is going to help." She told him, giving him a big hug before she ran up to her room to get ready for school tomorrow.
The next morning they spent an hour in the nurse's office with her dad and Heather making sure the nurse and school was aware of Miley's situation before her dad finally felt. Schooled end up going better than expected because it was finals time most of class time had been spent reviewing, so she did not miss much work and all her teachers were very understanding. Most of the kids were very understanding as well, even Amber and Ashley left her alone when they ran into her during the day.
With the exception of having to go to the nurses office several times to take meds, everything was pretty much normal, which Miley liked, finally something was back to the way it had been before.
After school that day her dad picked Miley and Lilly up so that they could change into Hannah and Lola. They were eager to meet the new up-and-coming band that would be opening up for Hannah Montana this summer. Miley had heard great things about them but had not met them personally.
They arrived at the studio where tour rehearsals were going to be held. They had just entered the studio when an energetic hyper boy, maybe 3 or 4 years older than them rushed over.
"Oh my gosh your Hannah Montana." Stating the obvious while bring her into a big hug.
"I'm Joe, that's my brother Kevin" he said after letting her go
"Hey." Responded the boy that Joe had just pointed to.
"And over there is Nick." Joe told her point to a curly haired, shy looking boy who was sitting at the edge of the stage messing around with an acoustic guitar. The boy's only response was a small smile, and then he went back to playing his guitar.
He did look cute, and looked to be her age. He look up again, smiled at her and waved, she was about to do the same when a voice in the back of her head said "don't be silly Miley, a guy like that could never like a freak like you." So true Miley thought to herself, what kind of guy would like a girl with a stupid disease like her?
She was soon broken out of her trance by the tour director who was anxious to get things started.
"…..Get off your seat
On your feet
Raise your hands
Feel the beat
Let it go
Lose control
Feel it in your soul
Don't you know what you can do
If you have faith in you
Let's not be invisible
There's no red light in life
Just go
We can
We can break out of here
Jump on over there
Where the air is clearer
We can
We can forget the pace
Win in our own race
Become a broken chain
We are broken chains
Good and broken
We can, we can, we can, we can, we can
We can, we can, we can, we can, we can
We can, we can, we can, we can, we can
Good and broken"
Miley sang the last verse of the song, she had been at it for 4 hours rehearsing the songs for the concert, practically none stop dancing. The Jonas Brothers, that was the name of Nick, Kevin and Joe's band hadn't even started rehearsing yet.
"Hey, Mike (that was the tour directors name) do you think it would be alright if I took a break?"
"Yeah, Hannah I was about to start working with the Jonas Brothers anyways. Are you alright?" Mike was the only one in the room, other than Lola, who knew how her condition.
"I'm fine" she told them going to sit down.
"Are you sure?" Nick asked her "You don't look so good."
"I said I'm fine." She snapped at them, grabbing her bag and running out of the room.
"I'll go after her." Lola told everyone before following Hannah out of the room.
" Hannah?" Lola asked as she opened the huge dressing room that they had given Hannah.
"In here." Hannah called from the bathroom.
"What's matter?" Lola asked her entering the bathroom, there she found Hannah with her back against the door and her arms wrapped around her legs, holding something in her hand.
"It's nothing." Hannah told Lola when she tried to take the object from her hands.
"Come on just let me see it, got it." Lola's said finally wrestling it out of Hannah's hands. She looked at the object, realizing it was the blood sugar meter that the nurse had taught them all to use it the hospital.
"52" Hannah finally said, obviously telling her the number she had gotten when she tested moments before. Lola knew from what her mom and step dad had told her that that was very low
"Dad's going to kill me. The one time he's left me alone and I let something like this happen"
"Come on Miles, he knows this going to be adjustment." Lilly told her finally dropping the Lola/Hannah act and giving Miley one of the juice boxes that had been in the bag of supplies.
"It's because of all the dancing, the doctor warned that exercise would do that but Hannah needs to be able to dance."
"Miles, you'll work everything out. Everything will be fine, you've got to believe that." Lilly told her sister, giving her a big hug.
"It's just so hard"
An: so that's chapter 4, it was extra long so I hope you all enjoyed it. I have work all week and I want to try and get out of my writers block on "Why Me?", so this story might not be updated this week, I'll do my best but no promises. You guys did a great job with Reviews last time, keep it up and please review again. It really does mean so much : )
