And here we are, I know many of you don't like delays but believe me, it takes time to write and you need to feel what you're writing and most important of all you have to know when it's the right time to sit and write, I hope you like it.

Lost

Part 4

-Okay, it's official, you just lost your mind, Miley are you listening to yourself? Didn't you listen to what Doctor Ragostra has been telling you? You can't do anything that means an effort and getting your blood pressure high, it's too dangerous!!

-Look, I'm going to do that concert with or without your help, believe me; it would be easier with your help.

-NO!!! YOU'RE ASKING ME TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW IT FEELS TO HAVE YOUR BEST FRIEND DEAD IN YOUR ARMS!!! DON'T ASK ME TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN!!!
Please…

-what?

-I remember it like it was yesterday, when you collapsed on stage I ran to help you, when I took you in my arms you weren't even breathing, when the EMTs took you from me I… I felt my heart stopping; I was looking at them and praying that they could bring you back… when you began to breathe again… I just cried… please Miley… don't do it…

I had to hug her, I couldn't stand the sight of her face, her eyes spoke for her… but somehow I had to make her understand why I needed to do this… although I told her I could do it without her… the truth is… I can't… without Lily… without my best friend… I lack the strength to do it… I have done many things in my life because of her being beside me… I was about to quit being Hannah Montana when she discovered my secret… her strength and her passion were the fuel I needed to go on… yeah… that's the only way…

-Lily?

-Yeah?

-I need you with me… without you… I can't do it… Hannah Montana wasn't who she was because Miley Stewart gave her life… Hannah Montana existed because Lily Truscott was there with her, cheering for her, making sure that she was fine every time… I… look… when I walked out that night five years ago… I knew I wasn't OK… but knowing that you were there… that there was someone I could trust close to me… gave me the strength to at least try… please… I beg you… help me on this one…

I saw Lily's eyes open wide… I didn't understand why until I realized that I was kneeling before her.

-Miley please… you don't need to do this… but… I'll help you, on one condition.

-What?

-You'll stop the concert if you don't feel OK.

-All right… now let's pack.

-Pack? For what?

-We're going to L.A. for a press conference tomorrow and back here for the concert.

-And you're planning to pay for all that… how?

-I'm 19 now; I can use my money when I need to without telling Dad.

-All sounds fine but how are you planning to do all this without your Dad or Jackson finding out?

-They'll know when I told them when we come back.

During the flight I had time to think about many things, especially the talk I had with Dr. Pratt and Dr. Ragostra, Lily insisted in talking to both before the trip, they insisted in what Lily already told me, it was a bad idea… but I have to do it… I can't think of a life without Hannah Montana… I saw Lily sleeping against the window… if this goes wrong and I… Oliver you have to be there for her if I'm gone… I opened my eyes when I heard Lily calling me.

-Miley? Miley wake up, the plane just landed.

-Oh yeah… thank you…

-Are you all right?

-Yeah I'm fine, don't worry, let's go to the hotel, we have to change; the conference is in two hours.

I could hear the noise of all the reporters waiting for me, guess it's a good story to hear from a star who went missing five years ago, although I was planning on going out on my own Lily insisted on being beside me, I told her that she could answer to anything the way she wanted, now I saw how much she changed, her fear for reporters was long gone, and now, she was ready to stand beside me against the world, we heard flashes going off as we walked out to the table that was set for us, Lily was a nervous wreck, she didn't showed it, but her eyes told the whole story on their own.

-Good evening, thank you all for coming, I'm here with my best friend Lola to tell you all that Hannah Montana is back and that we're doing a comeback concert in Chicago in two weeks.

-Hannah what happened to you all this time?

-Hannah was sick and by medical request she had to leave all physical activity that could pose a risk to her life

I couldn't believe it, Lily seemed so mature when she answered, I was only going to say that It was a private matter but wow… what an answer…

-Why Chicago?

-Because I own them a concert, remember?

-How's your health at this point? Will you be in any danger onstage?

-Hannah will be fine, and she will make sure that nothing goes wrong during the concert. Right Hannah?

-Lola is right, we will make sure that everything is fine and that everyone has a good time.

-Does your Doctor know you're going to do this concert?

-Yes, she is aware and she gave her consent, that's all we have to say, thank you

I felt like taking a huge stone off my back when we walked out, I was wondering if Dad knew about this when my cell phone began to rang, guess either him or Jackson were watching the TV.

-Aren't you going to answer?

-No Lily, I have to face them in person, I won't explain anything to them over the phone.

The flight back seem like I was flying to China, I wasn't surprised to see Jackson there waiting for us.

-Dad told me to pick you up, I have to warn you, I have never seen him so upset in my life.

I knew it, but I also knew I had to face him sooner or later, and later came minutes after.

-Jackson why don't you take Lily for some lunch? I guess I need to talk to Dad alone.

-Sure, see you later Miles

-Good luck Miley

I know I'm going to need it, as I opened the door I saw Dad waiting for me, he was infuriated I can tell with just seeing his eyes, and for the first time in my life I felt his hand in my face and not precisely to caress it, guess I deserved it.

-You think what you're doing is mature? Are you really taking everything in consideration?

-Of course I am, I have

-NO YOU'RE NOT!!! HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED FOR A MINUTE WHAT JACKSON AND I WOULD FEEL IF YOU… IF YOU… IF YOU DIE?? HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HOW DEVASTATED LILY WOULD BE??? NO!!! I'M SURE THAT ALL YOU HAVE CONSIDERED IS WHAT MILEY AND HANNAH CARE FOR!!! But it's OK, go ahead, but don't count on Jackson or me to be with you.

-And did you take a minute to think what Hannah Montana means to Miley Stewart?

-what?

-Did you? Hannah Montana exists because you told me that I could be what I wanted to be when I was 12 years old, and what I want to be is Hannah Montana, I'm really sad to hear that neither you or Jackson will be supporting me, but I have the most important person I need beside me so, I'm going to do it, no matter what.

-Miley

I couldn't believe myself when I walked up to Dad, but I had to

-No… matter… what..

And so, the day came, I can't say I wasn't scared, I was a nervous wreck, it was like five years ago, but I had to do it… just like I had to do it back then… everything was ready, Lily came and hugged me… I shivered at the thought that it could be the last time she could be doing it.

-Be careful Miley… please…

-Trust me… I'll be…

I took a deep breath.

-LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!!! HANNAH MONTANA!!!!!!!!!!!

To be concluded...
