A/N: This chapter goes out to my ever-so-loyal-reviewer SmellsLikeRain, seriously, thank you so much. This person has reviewed each of my chapters, and like every story I've ever written :P
And I just wanted to say, sorry for my lack of update, I've just been so busy, and I've seem to lost some of my inspiration. Not to mention I really like someone right now, and it's all just way too confusing…
But here's the much anticipated update:
xHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMxHMx
I know I said it was my job to win Lilly back, but I'm finding it hard to do so… every chance that I've had to talk to her, I've babbled and stuttered, then the bell would ring.
It's Friday, and tomorrow's November 10th, Saturday. I plan on being able to have Lilly back as mine by tomorrow! Let's just hope my mouth and body will function properly for this…
I rush into my last period glass, and see Lilly gleaming like no tomorrow, and she's chatting excitedly to Lucas, with various hand movements being thrown in. She looks so beautiful right now, especially with the light shining in through behind her. I walk closer to talk to her, but I immediately stop when I hear what she's talking about. "Jake's coming home tomorrow, I'm so excited. He's been gone for way too long, two months… It'll be nice to have him around again," she notices me eavesdropping, "hey Miles."
I politely wave to her, and then take my seat as far away from Lucas and her. I totally forgot that Jake was going to be coming home tomorrow. Crap… now I really have no chance. She's been dating that guy for two years straight, except for when she decided to date me for that one month. Does this mean that Jesse was lying to me that one night? Lilly must not like me… she's still in love with Jake… I'm such a failure; I can't even make the girl of my dreams like me…
My head falls heavily onto my desk, and I cover my entire face with my arms. Taking deep breathes in, I try to calm myself, but nothing's working right now. Lilly! Please! I know I love you! I know it… and I think at one point in time you loved me too. "Hey Stellar Stewart, we still going to Jake's welcome home party tomorrow night?" Amber pokes my shoulder.
I quickly wipe my eyes against my arms, and lift my head, "Yeah," I smile at her; I don't want her to know anything's wrong.
"Great, pick me up at seven, baby," she winks at me, and takes her assigned seat.
The teacher lazily walks in now, not even noticing he's three minutes late, "Alright class! Settle down!"
I glance over at Lilly, and see that she's still smiling from ear to ear. Taking out her notebook, she begins taking notes down… why can't that smile be for me? Sometimes I wish I had enough courage to really say what I feel, but I don't. I might as well just go with the people who are more assertive around me: Mikayla, Ashley, and Amber. Tomorrow night, if Lilly gets back with Jake, I'm going to go all the way with Amber.

I do a once look over at my outfit, deciding if anyone was up to admitting they like me (Lilly, hopefully) these would be the best clothes to wear. I have a tight dark red shirt that slacks off one shoulder, and exposes my stomach, with jean short shorts. Slipping on my red flip-flops, I grab my keys and run out the door, seeing as I'm already two minutes late to pick Amber up.
Before I can get into my car, my dad shouts to me, "Miley! Where are you going dressed like that?"
I wish I could just ignore him, and be off, but I turn around, "Party, I'll be home around one or two AM, okay?" I start inching backwards.
"No, not okay. You've been doing this too much, running off to these little parties, dressed in skimpy outfits, I don't know what's happened to you Miley," he approaches me, considering he was standing in the doorway previously.
"Dad, I really have to go, I'm already late for the party," I turn my back to him, and continue towards his rusty old pickup truck.
"No, Miley. You have to explain everything to me right now before you can leave," I know he's giving me his stern look right now. I never was the bad child… why am I being so disobedient now?
"How about I promise to tell you later tonight if you're still awake or tomorrow morning?" I bargain with him, this is the only way I can still sort of be on time to get Amber.
"Fine, bud. Be careful, please," he looks distraught. I have to shake the guilt out of me for leaving my dad like this, see, I do still have human feelings.

"Miley! Hold my hand!" Amber grumbles loudly, she grasps it, before I even have a second to respond to her demand.
We walk into the party, and my eyes quickly drift to the boy standing on a table egging everyone on for a beer pong contest. Squinting my eyes, I see Lilly is standing right next to him on the table, with a protective arm around his waist. I scowl, but then our eyes meet. I stare at hers, until she breaks it by saying something inappropriate (I'm sure of) into Jake's ear.
"You don't still like that sperm dumpster, do you?" Amber slightly tugs at my shirt, acting like a four-year-old would.
"No, I don't," I say confidently and drag Amber with me to where the keg was located.
After filling up my red cup with beer, Chad approaches us. "Miley, Amber," he acknowledges us, "Miley, just so you know, do not try anything with Lilly. Jake told me personally that he will slit your throat if you step anywhere near her."
"Who told him I dated her?" I ask angrily, not that it really bothered me… well it did, because now that means I won't even be able to have a normal conversation with her, and not have Jake Ryan on my trail.
"The whole school did! Miley, you and Lilly were like the biggest couple, the most famous one. Everyone told him to be on the lookout for you as competition… thought I should just warn you," Chad smirks before leaving the room.
For some reason I have this feeling that he was the one that really told Jake. I can't really tell if it's because Chad likes me, or likes Lilly… but I sure do know he likes one of us.
"Miley, ignore him, you have me," she forcefully holds my head in between her heads, so I can't turn it, and so that I'm only looking at her.
"Right!" I suddenly agree with her. She is right; I have her tonight! So who gives a fuck about everyone else? As long as I have a date, I'm happy! And you know what? I'm wanted. Almost every guy in this house wants me, I can tell by the way they nod their heads to me, and glance my body up and down. I'm also wanted by almost every girl, especially since it's the cool thing now to be bisexual or lesbian. But the most important part is right now, I have Amber, and that's all I need to get through tonight. "Let's go upstairs," I suggest to her, and immediately her eyes glint with a certain happiness.
"To really get the party started?" she wiggles her eyebrows, and leads me to an empty bedroom. "I heard about Mikayla and you last time… so I'm really excited you've decided to choose me as your first."
Might as well get this over with, right? Everyone's always worried about who their 'first' will be, well why not end it now? So I don't have to worry anymore, I can just have sex with whomever I want, as soon as I finish it tonight. Besides, Lilly doesn't like me, so it's not like I'm betraying her.
I push her down on the bed, and begin nipping and sucking at her neck. "Miley, wait," I obey her, "this is my first time too… say something sweet to me."
Rattling through my brain, I try to think of something to say… then it comes to me, Lilly's poem! It's perfect… her poem was so sweet, and lustful, this is the right moment for it.
"Look to your feet,
Count how many stones you see,
Then speak to me,
I want to hear your voice,
Any way possible.
I don't care what you talk about,
Just as long as your vocal chords keep moving.
Look to your grandmother,
Count how many wrinkles you see,
Then speak to me.
Each word you say is a sweet piece of candy,
Don't stop talking,
Never stop loving."
"Miley, that was so sweet. You can have me," she growls with happiness and motions for me to come back on top of her.
Just as I begin to move over, I hear a rustle from outside the room, and notice our door was slightly open. I jump off the bed, and jog to the doorway to see a blonde haired girl rush down away.
Fuck. Lilly must have heard me. Fuck. What was she coming up here for anyways! "Miley, darling, are you coming back?" Amber coos for me.
Fuck no. I'm getting Lilly. I run the path she just took, I notice the front door swing open, and I bolt even faster to catch up with her. "Lilly! Lilly!" my hoarse voice is louder against the cool night.
"What?" she screams and turns to face me with reddened eyes and a tear-streaked face.
"None of that meant anything!" I hurt her… really bad, but I don't know how it's possible I hurt her, she doesn't like me.
"You think you can just use my poem to seduce people! You're sick Miley Stewart! And you're a fake! You're fake!" her shrilling voice and the harshness of her words deafen me, and numb my body. "You know what? I'm telling all of them just how fake you are!" she forcefully bumps her shoulder against mine, and for once I feel the pain.
I see what I've done. She did like me, and maybe was trying to get me jealous by being all over Jake, but now I screwed everything up by being unsympathetic to everyone's feelings.
Wait. Lilly was going to tell all of them what happened, shit! I have to get back in there! Running back into the house, I see she's already trying to get everyone's attention.
"Everyone of Seaview High School, listen up!" she shouts and jumps onto a chair, making it so everyone can see her, "all of you have been tricked by one student in here. You know who that is? You're newfound favorite celebrity, Miley Stewart! That's right, she's a fucking fake! She paid me one thousand dollars just to date her, that's how much of a loser she is! She did this just so she could climb her way up the social ladder, and trick all of you!
"Every single person in this room has been affected by your cruel plan, Stinky Stewart," she spits out her last words and jumps down from the chair.
I look around the room, and everyone's staring at me with either bewilderment, or hate. I become nervous, and walk to Jesse, "She's crazy, huh?" my voice fills the silent room, even though I wasn't speaking loud.
"Get away from me, I don't want you near me," he angrily states and pushes me away.
Rubbing my shoulder where he hit me, I nervously glance around the room. I see Jake red with rage, and he makes a beeline for me, "Stewart," he roars, "if you even come near my girlfriend, you're dead. Get out of here!" he points to the door.
How did I get myself into this? One second I'm loved, and now I'm hated by the entire school. Quietly I exit the house, knowing all eyes were on me and waiting for me to leave so they can start their party again.
Now it's back to being the loser of this school… but now I don't even have any loser friends to stick around. I slump my shoulders, and drive home. It only being 10pm, I know I'm going to have to talk to my dad when I get home…
