I'm sorry guys! I've been having a lot of family troubles and a lot of painful events have happened to me between now and the last time i updated, again -- i'm sorry.

All my disclaimers stand true.


4 months later.

Miley walked up the path towards SeaView High for the first day of school yet again. Sophomore year was supposed to be better than Freshman year, but it didn't feel like that was going to be the way of things at all.

The geeks has their noses in books, the skaters were chilling by a trashcan, the Goths formed a circle on the grass and then there were the Populars sitting at a table, there was Mikayla.

Miley felt her breath hitch in her throat at the sight of the girl. Looking around nervously Miley remembered something. She didn't belong anywhere. She walked lazily towards Lilly and Oliver. She spotted them by the skaters.

Standing face to face to Lilly for the first time in months she had nothing to say.

"Hey." Miley said awkwardly.

Silence.

"So, I missed you guys!" and she did, she just didn't know how much they would believe it.

"Hey Miles." Oliver chimed in, "How was your summer?"

"Oh it was fantastic!" Miley lied, "yours?"

"Mine was prêt-" Lilly cut Oliver off.

"What do you want Miley?" Lilly spoke for the first time.

"Um… what do you mean? We're friends…" Miley thought for sure they'd take her back, wouldn't they?

"Ha no, we're not." Lilly said smugly.

Miley had nothing to say, she felt so ashamed.

"So if I were you I'd just um, walk away or something." Lilly continued.

"Lilly that's not right I think you should calm down." Oliver spoke up.

"No Oliver I gotta say this, okay?" Lilly said narrowing her eyes at Miley.

Miley felt like she was two feet tall, "Maybe I should just go…"

"Or maybe you should stay here and listen." Lilly said.

"I'm sorry Lilly." Miley said full-heartedly.

"Well sorry doesn't cut it, Miles, we're not anybody's second choice. What happened to Miss Mikayla? Hm?" she said laughing.

Miley thought about this for a minute, she really didn't know the answer. She winced as she recalled what happened four months ago.

Flashback.

A blinding light woke Miley the next morning. She lazily turned over and patted the bed only to find something missing.


"Mikayla?" she voiced full of sleep, eyes still shut.

No answer.

Miley untangled her legs from the covers and looked around the room to see Mikayla gathering her things. She got out of bed, still lacking her clothing and hugged Mikayla warmly from behind.


"Mmm Mikayla last night was…" she trailed off.

"DON'T touch me." Mikayla backed away quickly making her way towards the door. Shocked, Miley covered herself in the blankets and just stared at the love of her life, too scared to say anything else that could possibly worsen the situation. She knew it was too good to be true.

As Mikayla got a hold on the doorknob Miley spoke up.

"M-mikayla." Miley choked out, "please look at me.

Mikayla looked up right away locking eyes with the other girl.

"You said you loved me." The blue eyed beauty said slowly.

"Don't ever speak to me again." Mikayla spat bitterly as she turned and walked out of Miley's life.

"I-I don't know I'm sorry just –" Miley got cut off once again, this time by Oliver.

"Miley don't worry about it, we get it, we're still friends." Lilly just rolled her eyes at this.

I wish I understood it, Miley thought to herself.

The day played out as expected, boring. She didn't have once class with Mikayla, but secretly she had wished she did. Just as she was thinking this she spotted the girl on a bench at a park near her house. "Mikayla?" she ran over to her, she needed to speak to her.

"Uh, yeah?" Mikayla said in a 'That's my name don't wear it out' manner

"I was thinking… do you want to talk, you know… about…." Miley stuttered

"I'm sorry… do I know you?" Mikayla said in all seriousness.

Miley felt like she couldn't breathe, "Y-yeah I'm… M-Miley."

"Nice to uh, meet you." Mikayla said forcing a smile, "well I gotta go… so um, bye?" She laughed bitterly.

How could she not know who I am? Miley thought to herself. The moment she got into the safety of her bedroom she bawled her eyes out, she'd been holding it in all summer.

"I-it's not f-fair." She cried into her pillow, "Why me? Why d-did this happen to m-me?" she sobbed, What is my life coming to?

If only she could lay away all her pain, if only for one day.


Reviews would definitely make my day.
