PART THIRTY

Miley was taking a quiet stroll by the beach that evening, trying to clear her thoughts.

Lily was surfing by herself today.

Miley missed her skater chick friend so badly.

Miley stopped to watch Lily surfing the waves. The beach was quite deserted.

Lily spotted Miley but ignored her. Even though she had a huge urge to go over to her and hug her.

But after everything with Sam, she couldn't.

Miley moved on once Lily paddled back to shore.

As Lily wiped her face of water she noticed a dark figure behind Miley, before she could say a word, the figure grabbed Miley around the neck and pulled her behind a bush.

Lily's heart rate picked up. Miley had to be in trouble.

She ran to where Miley had been taken but stopped when she heard Sam's voice.

"You told Rico about our deal didn't you?" She'd never heard his voice sound so deep, and scary.

"I'm sorry…" Miley was snivelling. She sounded frightened out of her wit.

"I told you not to tell anyone Miley, you know what's going to happen now…"

"Please don't tell everyone, I beg you…"

Lily was horrified by what she was hearing. She didn't hear Rico and Oliver behind her.

They all listened in on the conversation.

"I warned you Miley, it was part of the deal, you pay me the money and I don't tell everyone you're Hannah Montana and you don't tell anyone about it…"

"I know…"

"You broke your end of the deal so why should I keep mine?"

"Back off Sam!" A sharp voice came from the other side of the bush of Sam and Miley.

It was Oliver. Standing up to his cousin for his old time best friend.
