It was in all the headliners, on all the news, and even on the internet.

NICHOLAS JONAS SHOT BY ANONYMOUS
Last night, at the Revieran, Tracy Turnpipe held a bash for the end of summer. Joe Jonas, being the boyfriend of Miss Turnpipe, seemed to have invited neither of his brothers, Kevin or Nicholas, to the affair. Hannah Montana, good friend of both the Jonas Brothers and Tracy Turnpipe, seemed to show up as the date of Nicholas Jonas'. It turns out Tracy invited her popstar friend to the bash and Nicholas asked Hannah to be his date to the party. From an inside source, Nicholas was given advice to ask Miss Montana to the affair. All was well for the two until the middle of the party. At about 10:30 pm, last night, Nicholas was shot by an anonymous person at the party. Police have been searching the place ever since last night and there have been no suspects. However, Hannah Montana was no where to be seen at the sound of the shot but came in to the center of the scene only seconds later. Poor Miss Montana was taken away by best friend, Lola Lofnagle "who was Kevin's surprise date after Joe hooked them up for the night "and scurried away from the scene. Miss Montana seemed to just barely make the edge of the paparazzi before breaking out in tears. Nicholas' tears, sadly, were seen. Nicholas was taken away by an ambulance into the emergency and will be taken care of until further notice. As of this horrible news, the Jonas Brothers will not be performing until futher notice.

I just sat there and cried. I was the one who pulled the trigger. I was the one who shot Nick Jonas. There was no way that I would ever live this down.

"I would kill whoever shot him. It's just not right," Lilly yelled. She was mad that Nick got shot.

"On the bright side "for you, that is "Joe broke up with Tracy last night," I told her.

"He did?!!"

"Yes, Lillian."

"No WAY!"

"Yes WAY!" I imitated.

"Miley?" Dad asked, coming into my bedroon. "Do you want to go to school today?"

"Yes, I should. I need to see Joe."

"Me, too!" Lilly was the happy me today. I was the sad me today.

"Well, then you should hurry up."

The Hannah line rang. It was Joe. "Hey," I said.

"Do you want a ride to school today? To get away from the millions of gossiping girls who will be talking about Nick all day?"

"I would love that. Um, can Lilly come?"

"Yeah, she can. I'll be there in about 10 minutes."

"Okay," I replied, hanging up.

"Joe's going to pick us up for school today. And, Lilly, I know that you're going to want to ask Joe out, but I don't think today's a good day to do that. Things have happened."

"Hey, it's okay. I understand. Your crush, your date, his brother. I'll keep it down."

"Thanks, Lilly."

Pretty soon Joe rang the doorbell. I just ran out the door, Lilly behind me, not even saying goodbye to my Dad.

"I'm sorry Hanna "er, Miley. This must be terrible on you," Joe said, scooping me up into his arms.

"If it's bad for me I can only imagine your parents."

"They're taking it pretty well. It's better than I would've thought."

"Hi Joe," Lilly sighed.

"Hey, Lilly." Joe passed looks between Lilly and I. "Well, we should be getting to school." We all hopped in the limo. Of course there was no other type of ride. Kevin was in there waiting.

"Hi Hannah!" Kevin greeted, trying to seem all ecstatic. I glared at Lilly.

"Hey, Kevin."

"I told you, Kev. When she's blond call her Hannah. When she's brunette call her Miley," Lilly whispered. She looked back at me with an innocent look. "You look great in that top!" She gave me two thumbs up.

"You told him I was Hannah Montana, didn't you?"

"He figured out I was Lola first so I had to tell him the whole story," Lilly said quickly.

I turned towards Kevin. "You tell anyone and I will tie you to train tracks and the train that runs over you will be endless."

"Mean enough?" Kevin asked.

"Sorry, last night wasn't the best night ever." It wasn't at all. Joe pulled me in and hugged me. "Why do you keep hugging me?"

"Remember? I told you on the Hannah set that you would always be like a little sister to me. And now that includes Miley Stewart. I mean Hannah's got "," I covered his mouth.

"Can we stop the Hannah talk before the whole world knows?"

Soon enough, we reached school. Today was going to be terrible. Girls were already gossiping about Nick's gun shot last night. I heard my name a few times in the whispers.

"So terrible...Miley and Nick?....So bad for her....Miley loves Nick....Wonder if he'd ever date me....Who would kill him?....Nick's too good for Stewart...He should date me...Stewart is such a slut, of course she'd attack him....Miley the bitch.....Nick's dead." Those were terrible ones. Not only were girls wondering what would happen if Nick was dead but they had thoughts about me and Nick together. Not that I didn't like that idea it just made me feel sick to my stomach. But there was one I didn't like at all. "He might meet her mother." Now that was low. Everyone knew that my mother was dead and that we were still mourning over her. I glared at everyone who thought or whispered and gossiped of my mother meeting Nick. I wouldn't kill him, would I? I began to cry. I tried to hide it but it didn't work.

"Miss Stewart?" Mr. Garrison asked in Science class. I looked up, tears streaking from my eyes; mascara ruined; sobs coming from my mouth. "Do you need to see the school counselor?" he asked me in the middle of class. Every girl was staring at me.

I nodded. I didn't want to see the shrink but I just needed to get away from here. I needed to go and see him. I texted Lilly since I didn't know where he was. Good thing she was in Study Hall and Mr. Wheatley was asleep.

Miley: where's Joe?
Lilly: geometry, i think, why? you ok?

I contemplated whether or not I was okay. Emotionally? No. Physically? Absolutely fine. But I was the one who shot Nicholas Jerry Jonas. All he wanted was the reason to why I'd lied to him a few days ago. All he wanted was to know about Miley. And I couldn't tell him. All because Hannah was with him that night. But it was Hannah who'd pulled the trigger on that stupid pistol. Hannah who'd went with him on that date. Hannah, the girl he used to like. But now he crushed on me. Not me as Hannah or Miley, but me as myself. And I couldn't tell him the same thing back all because of Hannah. It was Hannah Montana who caused him to suffer.

Miley: no.
