Chapter Seven: Hannah's New Song

Lilly awoke to the day with a refreshed attitude. Today was the day she was going to confront Miley!

Lilly got dressed and quickly skated to school. She had called Oliver last night and told him all the details. He understood when Lilly said that she wanted to do this on her own. Lilly walked into the school and spotted Miley. Nicole was nowhere in sight.

Lilly walked right over to her and said, "Miley, we need to talk."

Miley ignored her.

Lilly grabbed Miley's shoulder and turned her around until they were face to face. "Dammit, Miley, you're gonna have to listen to me. I don't need a response or anything, but I really need you to listen."

Miley said nothing, she just stood there, looking bored and bothered.

"Miley, you're really being a bitch. You're lucky I'm even doing this after all this time. But Miley, I really value our friendship. Maybe you don't, but I do. Are you really gonna let Nicole get between us? Don't you see what she did to me?" Lilly pointed to the scar on her cheek. "She did that, Miley. I don't care what she told you, but I'm telling you the truth."

Miley still said nothing.

"Miley, I'm giving you two day to do something to save our friendship. If you don't do anything but then, I'll never talk to you ever again."

Miley didn't look bored, or annoyed, or sad, or confused, or anything. She had a really strange expression on her face. Lilly looked at her for a while, then walked to her locker.

Miley left during second period.

Lilly felt good about what she had done. It was the right thing…

Right?

Lilly flopped onto her bed after school and turned on her radio.

Paula DeAnda's 'Walk Away' was just finishing as the DJ's voice came on. "Well, that was 'Walk Away' and now, here is a new song by the lovely Hannah Montana!"

It's probably some dumb song about friendship or love, Lilly groaned and turned to flip off the radio, until she heard the title.

"The song is called 'I'm Sorry.'"

Lilly decided to listen for a little while.

I made a mistake

I took a wrong turn

And now…

My heart yearns

We lost a friendship

Lilly gasped.

That was so dear to me

And all I can say now is

I'm Sorry

Lilly's eyes watered as the whoa whoa's rang through her ears.

I'm Sorry

For all the pain I caused-

All the trouble

We were supposed to be two in one-

A double

And I'm oh so sorry!

It's probably just a coincidence. She probably wrote this song before this whole thing. The music played for a while, and Lilly's thoughts were disproved as the last line of the song played.

Please forgive me, Lilly.

Tears rolled down Lilly's cheeks. This was Miley's way of apologizing. Lilly felt almost whole again. And finally, she could cry about everything.

Losing Miley.

Being ignored.

Getting beaten.

Her heart, her body, and her whole mind cried out as the sobs shook her body. It was all coming out, and it felt oh so amazing.

The radio played, but it couldn't drown out Lilly's crying. Happy crying, sad crying, and just plain angry crying.

That was the day Lilly finally felt better.

The next day, Lilly skated to school faster than she ever had in her life. She ran through the doors to the school and tried to look for Miley. Miley wasn't by her own locker, and she wasn't by Nicole's.

She was by Lilly's.

Lilly ran over to Miley and gave her the biggest hug she had ever given anyone. Miley hugged Lilly back even harder and said, "I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid. I'm such an idiot. Lilly, I love you. I'm so sorry!"

Lilly pulled out of the hug and said, "Miley, please don't ever do that ever again!"

Miley looked at Lilly's cheek scar and said, "I swear. Never ever ever again."

Lilly opened her locker and a pile of cards fell to her feet. Lilly looked down at them. They all said, 'I'm Sorry,' or, 'Please Forgive Me,' or, 'I'm Stupid.'

Lilly looked up at Miley, who was smiling, tears gleaming in her eyes. Lilly hugged her again and said, "You're forgiven. But it'll take a while for things to get back to normal. Got that?"

"Got it. Things will never be the same," Miley said.

"But what about Nicole?" Lilly said. "Ditching her would be rude…even though she deserves it."

"I've got it all planned out," Miley said, smiling hugely.

Apparently, Miley's plan was to tell Nicole that she was an extreme bitch and that she didn't want to be friends with her anymore. Some people might have thought that this was a bit rude, but Lilly thought it was a perfect solution.

So Lilly and Miley spent the whole day together.

Lilly lie in her bed, half asleep. Then a thought hit her. Why did Miley ignore decide to ignore her? It was so strange.

Oh well, Lilly thought, I'll ask her tomorrow. Lilly yawned and dozed off gently.
