"I realize we haven't known each other that long, but I feel like we've already become close friends from all the experiences we've been through," Lilly's just babbling away, trying to make me feel calm enough to talk to her.

She stops moving her lips and looks at me, waiting patiently to speak up. I shuffle nervously on my bed, and stare at my hands as I finally decide to open my mouth, "I should've listened to you, Lilly, I should've," if I stayed away from Jake, just like you said, none of this would've happened.

"What happened Miley?" she clasps my hand with hers; urging me to go on, and I feel slightly encouraged to continue the story.

"He… he took me to the park first, and I guess he flirted with me, but then he said there were too many people around, and he wanted to go somewhere secluded. I didn't want to, but I also didn't want to cause a commotion with all the parents and their kids around.

"So he basically dragged me to this tiny lake, which had a shed next to it… and he took me inside the shed… and," I take a deep breath in, hoping it'd help me relax a bit, but it didn't. Instead, I break down again, which has become common with me since that day.

"No, no, he didn't," Lilly whimpers, and she's shocked. She pulls me into her, so my head is buried in her chest, and she's rocking me back and forth, trying her best to help me stop crying.

After about an hour I was finally feeling better, and I move away from Lilly, noticing a large spot of dampness on her shirt, "Sorry," I whisper.

She glances down, "Oh that's alright. Listen, Miley, you have to take this to the police, he had no right to do that to you."

"No, I can't. I don't want the whole school to find out," I screech. I know I'm overreacting a bit, but imagine everyone finding out you were !#& by Jake Ryan? I can't even say the word… it's so dirty… I just don't want to make it an ordeal.

"Miley, do you want him to do this to more innocent girls? You have to turn him in, so he won't!" Lilly's really passionate about this… maybe when she said she dated him, he forcefully had sex with her?

"Not now," I shake my head. I'm not ready to deal with the law or Jake Ryan quite yet.

Ugh I don't want to keep saying his name. It's so gross. I hate him so much.

"Okay Miley, but promise me you will soon? I don't want this to just be another forgotten case," Lilly declines forward and delicately strokes my hair while gazing at me with all sincerity.

"Al-alright," I finally agree, "thank you for being here for me, and Lilly… you truly are a great friend," I draw her into a tender hug, and we stay like this for a good minute… just enjoying each other's warm bodies.

I have a feeling today at school will be a lot easier now that me and Lilly have cleared things up. I'm munching on some scrambled eggs my dad cooked up for me, when I feel my cell phone vibrate in my pocket. Pulling it out, I see it's a text from Lilly. Want me to pick u up 2day 4 skool?

"Hey dad! Alright if Lilly gives me a ride to school?" I shout to him, since he was in the living room watching the morning news.

"Yeah," he lazily responds.

Using my thumbs, I quickly respond, Yea when will u get me?

No more than a matter of seconds later, it buzzes again with a reply, 5 mins, be ready. She gives me a wide time range to get ready.

I laugh to myself and quickly gobble down the rest of the eggs, then sip some orange juice. I grab my books, and backpack, and wait by the front door for Lilly's loud motorcycle.

"Hey bud, before you go, is there anything going on between you and Lilly?" why on earth would he ask that? I don't remember giving any slight hints that something was happening.

And for his information, we're not together! "No, why?" I'm suspicious now; someone had to tip him off on something.

"Well about a week ago, Lilly called me… and she well… never mind," he brushes it off as he hears the motorcycle approach.

You're not getting off this easily Daddy! I will find out when I get home later. What's questioning to me is… why would Lilly call me a week ago? That's when she was still mad at me, right? And the other thing is what would she say to my dad that would make him suspect I was with Lilly?

I enter the school with Lilly right by my side, and I feel confident, and proud of myself right now. Which I haven't felt in a while, since, well you know. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Lilly's two least favorite people, and they were starting to get on my list as well. "Oh, Miley, so sorry to hear," Amber fakes sympathy and places her hand over her mouth.

"Too bad Jake's Amber's now," Ashley stupidly says from behind Amber.

"You know, forcing yourself upon Jake won't get you anywhere," Amber begins laughing, "I would been absent for two weeks too if I did what you did."

"Yeah, unlike you, we're not all sluts," Ashley adds on, and Amber looks at her with pride, for once she didn't make them look stupid.

"Oooohhhh tsssssss," they both hold their pointer fingers to the other.

"You got the story wrong, fuckers," Lilly spits at their feet, "Jake isn't the fucking victim, Miley was. When have you ever heard of a guy being the one raped?"

I shrink; even though Lilly was defending me… my worst fear became true. Everyone knew. And they knew the wrong story. Everyone thinks I molested!#& fuckface. This just can't be happening.

I stumble to the wall, placing all my body weight against it; I can barely hold myself up. I feel so weak… I feel dizzy, everything's spinning. I slide to the floor, and hold my head in between my hands. "Miles! Miley, you okay?" Lilly's rubbing my arms, and looking at me concerned.

But right now, the only thing on my mind is that everything's gone wrong.

A/N: I feel so bad for doing this to Miley! I feel like I'm kicking a dead puppy… and I feel worse saying this… everything's going to go downhill for her, but it will eventually get better, because of, well we know who, Lilly :)
