AN: I had major writers block for this chapter, but it only lasted for about an hour LOL! Anyway, enjoy the chapter! P.S I have unfortunately decided not to continue my new story 'Revenge is Sweet'
Disclaimer: Do I really have to say it?
Miley's POV
We were at Jackson's funeral. Jackson died 8 days and 6 hours ago. I can't stand listening to this guy. I guess I'll just tune him out until he calls me up.
"At this time I would like to bring up Miley Stewart, Jackson's sister," Come on, as if we didn't know that. I mean there weren't that many people there. There was Lilly, Oliver, Jake, Cooper, Rico, and my aunts and uncles. How could they not know who Miley Stewart is? Oh, right, I better go up there.
"Thank you everybody, for coming today," I was sweating. I hate making speeches. Especially sad ones. " Jackson was a wonderful brother. He was funny, smart, at times, and he always had my back," I was welling up. I hadn't made a speech like this since, well, ever. "I remember so many times when he was not only a brother, but a friend. Sure, we fought sometimes. But the memories that were good, will overpower the bad ones any day. As you can imagine, death is a horrible thing. I know from experience that it gives you this feeling of regret. Now, once I heard that regret is a terrible mix of sadness, and guilt. That is definitely true. Sadness, because of the fact you'll never get to see them or hear them or hug them ever again. Guilt, because there were so many things that you could of said to them or questions you could've asked. But you never got the chance to. My dad and I will get along, I know, but for now, we are still deeply grieving," I ended there, because I knew I would start crying. "I'd like to bring up my dad, Robby Ray Stewart, to say a few words. Dad said some wonderful things about Jackson, about how proud he was of him and everything. I had heard such wonderful things said about Jackson. "Miles? Miley?" My dad was motioning for me to come and sing.
"This is a song I wrote for my mom, after she died, but I think this would be a great time to sing it. It's called 'I Miss You',"
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you
I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you
Sha la la la la
I miss you x2
Everyone was in tears by the last 'I miss you'. I think I was crying too. Yup, definitely wetness on my face. Lilly came up and gave me a hug, then Oliver, then Cooper, then even Rico, which really scared me. Jake came up and kissed me on the cheek. I knew I had to go to school the next day with more 'I'm so sorry's. But that was okay with me.

The next day at school my prediction came true. Even Amber and Ashley came up with sincere faces and said they were sorry for my loss. Teachers gave me flowers and cards. But what struck me the most, was that all the students put flowers and cards up against Jackson's locker. I ran into the bathroom crying. I couldn't take it anymore! I was being overwhelmed. Everywhere I looked, I was reminded of Jackson. But I had my best friends and boyfriend by my side, and that comforted me a lot.
"Miley Stewart, to the office. Miley Stewart to the office please," I heard over the intercom.
"I'll see you guys when I get back," I waved to my friends. I walked down the hall, knowing it was something about Jackson. I walked into the principal's office and warm smiles from the secretaries greeted me. That was surprising, because the secretaries don't normally give warm smiles. They must've known who I was.
"Your father is waiting for you in the principal's office," My dad? Huh. That was weird.
"Thank you," I said politely.
" Hey Daddy," I said as I walked in.
"Hey darlin, I just wanted to know how you were doing, I mean I know you were upset yesterday at the funeral, and I just wanted to make sure you were ok," Wow I am so lucky. I have such a great dad.
"I'm doing okay. I'm just being reminded of Jackson a lot. But I'll be fine. Thanks for doing this," Dad pulled me into a hug. I got a little teary. But I shook it off. He pulled away, we chatted a little while and I went back to my friends, he went back home.
