Okay so here is the next to last chapter. This chapter is very fluffy and the next chapter will be more about friendship than romance. Enjoy and don't forget to comment.
Today is December 31, New Years Eve. I ran downstairs into the kitchen in my pajamas where Aunt Dolly was making omelets. "Smells good Aunt Dolly, can't wait to eat." I said. I was a little more cheerful than normal today.
"I think that someone is just happy that tonight you get to be with a gorgeous guy. I don't get it darling, Jake Ryan, Nick Jonas, and now Travis. How do you get all the cuties?" Aunt Dolly asked perplexed.
"I don't know I think it is my sense of humor, my charming personality, and hey people do say that southern girls have all the fun so that could be it too."
"That could be. Here you go, eat up." Aunt Dolly said putting a delicious looking ham and cheese omelet in front of me. Along side was a slice of tomato (with salt on it, the only way to eat a tomato) and a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.
I got through eating in about 15 minutes savoring each bite that I took. "That was good Aunt Dolly, I am going to go take a shower and then do some reading or something." I said and went up to the bathroom.
After I took a shower I did read but couldn't concentrate on the words. My head was too fill of things. I decided I'd call Lilly.
"Hey Miley what's up?" She answered.
"Nothing much, what are you up to?"
"Just hanging out with my dad and his wife today. It is so boring. The hearing is on the 3rd of January. So hopefully I'll have to put up with them for like every other weekend." Lilly explained.
"So with your mom being single, would that affect her getting custody?"
"No, it is all my choice and then the judge has to look over some papers or something and then he will either go with my decision, which is my mom, or he will go with whatever he feels is best."
"Oh, so what are you doing tonight?"
"Going to a party, a boy asked me to go with him so I said yes."
"OOO, who is it?" I was very intrigued now.
"I'll tell you when you get home. Have fun tonight with Travis. I have to go take the dog outside to do its thang." Lilly said and we both laughed and then the line went dead.
Later that night around 8, people staring showing up at Aunt Dolly's. There was Uncle Earl, Aunt Pearl, Uncle Bobbie Ray (Luanne is still away, thank the good lord!), and Travis. We all were chatting and eating the snacks that Aunt Dolly made and it was very low key.
"So Miley, I am leaving on the 3rd to go on our road trip and I was wondering if you wanted to go to a concert with me on the 2nd?" I know what concert that is, the Hannah Montana concert.
"Oh, um, well you see I can't." I paused a minute thinking of excuses but I've used them all before. I lowered my head hiding my defeat and disappointment.
"Oh, well why not?" Great he had to ask that.
"Um, well I have to…" I have known Travis all of my life and he is one of the people that should know about my secret. I looked over at my dad who had been listening to our conversation and he knew what I was thinking. He nodded at me as if saying 'tell him bud, he's like family, everyone else here knows your secret.'
"Look Miley you don't have to think of excuses if you don't want to be around me. I understand." He said and I could hear the hurt in his voice. Then my dad got up and starting singing a Hannah song.
"I'm super cool, super hot, living like a rockstar. You think I'm super, you think I'm super."
"On the cover of your magazines, wherever I go they make a scene, I'm super-super, I'm super duper. So you wanna be just like, so you wanna be just like, think you wanna be just like me. Everybody's watching me it's never as easy as it seems to be super-super. To be super-super girl." I finished and Travis was gawking at me.
"Oh my gosh, you- your- Hannah Montana?" He looked like he was about to faint.
"Why else do you think I moved to Los Angles? So that I could play celebrity ding-dong ditch? I don't think so."
"Well then I guess you have a legitimate reason as to why you can't go to the concert."
"Yeah but I have an idea. Give me your tickets and Hannah Montana will go to the mall tomorrow to give them away to a lucky little girl and then you can watch from backstage." I offered and his eyes lit up.
"Hmm, sounds tempting, I think I will."
"So you aren't mad at me for not telling you sooner?"
"Nah, I don't think I could ever be mad at a beautiful face like that." I smiled and so did he.
I think we forgot that everyone was still listening but we remembered when we heard everyone go, "Aww!" We both hung our heads down and blushed.
11:59 came around the corner and we were all sitting watching the Dick Clark's New Years special and watching the countdown. 10, 9, 8, 7,6,5,4, ok this is it, 3, he is going to kiss me, 2, I am so nervous, 1! I looked at Travis and he looked at me. His lips crashed onto mine and it was the best kiss I have ever experienced. I think it lasted a little too long because I heard my daddy clear his throat and we both released hesitantly.
Everyone started leaving and I was walking Travis to his truck. "Well I had a lot of fun with you." I said.
"Me too, and don't worry your secret is safe with me. So I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, and thanks, it means a lot to me." We hugged and when I let go of him I kissed him one last time. "Bye." I said breathlessly.
"Goodbye Miley Stewart." He got into his car and I watched him drive away. I walked back into the house with a smile on my face. "Hey Daddy." I said and snuggled up to him on the couch.
"Hey baby girl. Did you have a good night? You know don't answer that." I giggled. "Are you ok with telling him?"
"Well yeah, I mean he was my first friend and I really like him and I know that I can trust him, so yeah I am ok with it. Thanks for the help though daddy, I probably would've gone about it the wrong way." I yawned and rubbed my eyes.
"No problem bud, why don't you go on to bed?" He suggested and I got off of the couch. "Goodnight."
"Nighty-night." I said and walked up the stairs into my bed and drifted off to sleep.
