A year had passed. It had been a long, slow year. Robbie ray and Miley had gone to Tennessee and had laid half of Jackson's ashes on her mother's grave. Their had also been a kinder ceremony on the beach where everyone who had known Jackson had gone down to the beach and watched as Miley and Robbie ray had scattered the other half of Jackson's ashes. There had been a moment of silence in respect of Jackson.

Life without Jackson was hard, and lonely. Miley still blamed herself for the death, and this made her really depressed. She didn't treat herself as she use to. She didn't bother with fashion, or her hair and nails anymore. She looked completely different now.

She would sometimes wear Jackson's old t-shirts, just to see his washing in the washing basket. Miley didn't wear make up and just gave her hair a quick brush and nothing else.

Robbie ray and all her friends noticed the change in her, and tried to show her that Jackson wouldn't have wanted this change.

She ignored them, not wanting to hear what Jackson would and would not have wanted.

"Miley, Jackson wouldn't have wanted you to change" Lilly told her one day, looking her friend up and down.

Miley ignored her, and pushed past her out of the school. She was walking home, ignoring the rain that was falling. She was pushing the world out.

Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had
All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight

"Miley, wait up" came a voice from behind her. Oliver came running up to her, soaking wet from the heavy rain.

"Hi" she said, walking on.

"Hi…erm…can I walk you home?" Oliver asked, wiping his wet hair out of his face.

"Yeh" Miley said, surprised at the offer. So they walked in silence through the streets.

"Aren't you cold?" Oliver asked, noticing the dragging silence. Miley shook her head, and shivered.

Oliver took of his jacket and placed it around her. Miley smiled.

"Thanks" she said, hugging herself.

They reached her house and they both walked in.

"This rain is depressing" Oliver said, shaking himself. Miley laughed at him and took off the wet jacket.

"Keep it" he said grimly, looking at its site. He then looked at Miley and sighed, sadly.

"What?" Miley asked, becoming defence. Oliver took hold of her hand and led her to the mirror in the bathroom.

A pale girl stood looking at her, her brown hair messy. Her face lacked colour due to the missing make up that once lit up her face. Her eyes no longer had colour, but were dull and full of pain, there was also dark circles under her eyes. She wore a baggy t-shirt and a pair of jeans, completed with a pair of trainers.

She didn't look like her old self, but someone else. She was no longer Miley.

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

"What?" she asked, even through she knew what Oliver was trying to tell her without words.

"Lilly's right, Miles, Jackson wouldn't have wanted you to change" Oliver told her. She spun around, not wanting to see the truth.

"How would you know what Jackson wanted?" Miley asked.

"He would have wanted you to remember, yes and miss him" Oliver said, taking her hands," but wouldn't have wanted you to sink in to depression over him and to blame yourself"

Miley tour herself from Oliver and ran out the room, tears falling once again.

She run to her room and laid down on her bed.

Why didn't any one understand? She cried and slowly went to sleep.

Seen that ray of light
And it's shining on my destiny
Shining all the time
And I wont be afraid
To follow everywhere it's taking me
All I know is yesterday is gone
And right now I belong
Took this moment to my dreams

When Miley woke up, so felt a soft weight on her bed. She opened her eyes and looked up. Sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her with sad eyes was Jackson.

"Jackson!?" she asked, shocked. Jackson nodded, giving a weak smile.

"Jackson" Miley said again and hugged him tightly, tears pouring from her pale eyes. Jackson hugged back tightly.

"Miley, this is only a dream" he told her, softly and sadly.

"No! Jackson, please don't leave me" she cried into his neck.

It doesn't matter what people say
And it doesn't matter how long it takes
Believe in yourself and you'll fly high
And it only matters how true you are
Be true to yourself and follow your heart

"Hey, hey" he said, rocking her slightly, "remember what Dad said when Mum died, she hadn't left us, we just couldn't see her" Miley nodded

"Well, I haven't left you, Miles, I'm still here in sprit" Jackson told her, pulling away and looking at Miley in the eyes. His eyes were still as bight as they had always been, the same twinkle there.

"Lilly and Oliver are right, Miles, you've changed" He said, looking at her appearance, her clothes and her dull face.

Miley looked away,

"I just wanted to keep you alive" she mumbled. Jackson took her hand.

"I know, but I'm dead-" Miley let out a sob and took her hand away from Jackson's grip "and there is nothing you can do that will make me came back to life, and by trying you have killed not only Hannah Montana, but Miley as well"

So I won't give up
No I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

"I'm sorry," Miley cried, "I didn't want you to go, I didn't want you to die" Jackson sighed and hugged her again.

"None of this is your fault, Miles, so stop blaming your self" he said as Miley fell into his embrace. Jackson silently kissed her on the head and leaned his chin on her head.

"I miss Hannah Montana" he said quietly, a little while later. Miley sobbed harder.

"Miley, Hannah Montana didn't kill me" Jackson said, "and her fans miss her"

Miley slowly nodded and wiped her face on her sleeve.

"And the world needs Miley back as well, mostly your friends and dad, they miss you" Jackson said, "You need your life back, move on"

Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even when it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
That someone's watching over
Someone's watching over
Someone's watching over me

"But how can I, without you?" Miley asked. Jackson smiled.

"You can do it; you don't need your older brother with you always"

"Yeh, but it would be nice to know that he is there when I need him" Miley said.

Jackson took her hand again.

"I am here, when ever you need it, I'm always with you" Jackson smiled and hugged Miley again.

Miley let Jackson's warm arms envelope her. Jackson gently rocked her again and Miley slowly went to sleep again.
