Chapter 4

"Miley, the limo will be here in ten!" Dad yells to me.

I look at my outfit, black jeans, a sparkly silver top with a cropped red jacket with matching red heels. I am also wearing a plain black bangle and of course my wig.

I adjust my wig one last time to make sure it's sitting right and head downstairs to see daddy with his fake moustache talking on the phone. Lilly and Oliver are dressed as Lola and Mike, respectively, on the couch laughing.

"Hey guys, is this appropriate for a simple Hannah meeting?" I say indicating what I'm wearing giggling.

"Miley, you look hot!" Lilly exclaims rushing over and hugging me.

"You don't look so bad yourself." I joke.

She is wearing a plain black dress with red leggings and a red wig, accessorised of course with lots of jewellery and black heels.

I walk over to Oliver and give him a quick hug, "Hey, Oliver."

He is wearing his normal Mike Standley the Third attire, baggy pants, baggy jeans, a hat and his goatee.

I smile at him, thinking about our perfect date the previous night.

Lilly, Oliver and I all then sit down together on the couch reminiscing about how many times we had gone out as our alter egos over the past few years.

"Roxy is in the building!" My body-guard yells entering the room.

She hadn't changed too much; she was still 'like a puma' but she gives me more freedom these days as I am now legally an adult after all.

"Limo's here guys." Dad says to us, hanging up his phone.

"Let's go!" Lilly shouts grabbing my hand and rushing to our drive-way. She was still so easily excited by this other life after all these years.

I am sitting between Lilly and Oliver in the limo with my dad and Roxy sitting across from us. Dad is keeping an eye on Oliver as he has been holding my hand since we got in the limo.

I smile at the thought, he was so trusting yet concerned for me at the same time. That's something that hadn't really changed over the years.

We arrive at the meeting around twenty minutes later, Roxy exits the limo first.

I hear screaming fans as I step out after my dad. Flashes go off all around and I smile as I walk alongside Lilly and Oliver up to the building entrance.

"Can I get a comment about you and Mike Standley, Miss Montana?" A reporter yells out to me just before I reach the entrance.

"Hannah will be answering no questions out here." Roxy answers him for me.

We step inside and are rushed into a conference room that is filled with more reporters.

We walk on to the mini-stage and I take a seat next to my dad at the table that positioned in the centre with microphones on it. Lola, Mike and Roxie stand at the side of the mini-stage.

The conference begins and I wait to be asked questions instantly about my new c-d.

"Any questions?" Dad asks the reporters after he speaks about me writing the majority of the music on this album.

"Hannah, can you confirm that you and your friend Mike are now dating? You, Mike and Lola have been friends for years correct?"

I didn't expect that.

"I'm sorry," my dad instantly says, "but we will not be answering any questions relating to the relationship between Hannah and Mike as we are here to talk about Hannah's new album. Next question please?"

A lot of hands went down in the room.

"Hannah, when will this album be ready to be released?"

"I currently have almost all the songs I want on the album, but there are a few that I want to fix up before I record them in two weeks." I'm planning to have it out really quickly, hopefully at the start of December in order for Christmas."

The questions went on and on, Dad started answering several of them, I just kept gazing over to where Oliver was.

Not too long later, we arrive home and Lilly and I head upstairs to get changed.

We head back downstairs not too long later to see my dad and Oliver, who are both now out of their disguises watching a game on television.

"Boys." Lilly and I sigh at the same time.

"Dad is it okay if Lilly stays tonight."

"Yeah, sure." He mumbles not paying attention.

I roll my eyes and Lilly and I proceed back up stairs to where we start reading magazines and start painting our nails.

I start singing one of the songs I had been working on for the album. I started writing most of it once I got home from my date with Oliver at eleven o'clock the night before.

"As I am
Is how you take me
Never try to push or make me different
When I talk you listen to me

As I am
Is how you want me and
I know I've found the piece that's missing
I'm looking at him"

"That's about Oliver I take it?" Lilly asks me.

I nod, smiling.

"You definitely should put that on the album, Miley. I am so happy for the both of you, I'm bound to feel a little left out sometimes but I'm happy as long as we can still hang out this regularly."

I give her hug.

"You're the best friend ever, Lilly." I say beaming.
