Leaving

Things the rest of the week basically went like same. Jake didn't talk to Miley too much, he seemed to be avoiding her, and Lilly and Oliver appeared to be getting closer and closer by the second.

Miley was waiting around in her room on friday night. Usually Jake would call her and they would hang out. It was 7:30 and getting dark out, and she was just overall tired of waiting. She walked down stairs.

"Daddy, Im gonna go to the beach. See you later." Miley told her father.

"'Kay, bye Bud. Have fun." He smiled and waved good-bye.

She grabbed a zip-up hoodie and wrapped herself up in it then went down to the water. They were only a few people at the beach this late and they were far down from where she decided to sit. Miley took a seat close to the water so that when the small waves came up they would just barely touch her toes. It must have been about 30 minutes that Miley sat there and watched the water come up then recede, come up and recede.

She was a little mad that Jake hadn't called. He hadn't been telling her what's going on with him, or anything at all. They basically hadn't talked. Miley almost had tears falling from her eyes because she was so frustrated, but held them back when she felt someone sit next to her. She didn't have to turn to know that it was Jake; no one else smelled of the cologne Jake wore (Miley loved it), and no one else would sit this close to her. Miley expected him to talk first. She shouldn't have to, he was the one making everything weird.

After about 3 minutes of Miley waiting for Jake to say something and him staying completely silent, Miley got up to leave. She was about to walk away when Jake held her hand and gently squeezed it. She sat back down without another thought of leaving crossing her mind.

"Please don't go." He said. Jake looked sad. Incredibly sad. Miley's anger almost went away and she started feeling bad for him.

"Are you going to talk to me?" She asked annoyed.

"Yes, Miley." He sighed.

"So...?" Miley waited for an answer, or ANYTHING!

"Well, first, Im sorry I've been avoiding you. What I have to tell you is hard for me to say, and I have a feeling its going to be hard for you too." He looked intently into her eyes, Miley looked back into his.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Okay...So I talked to my Dad the other day-" Jake started.

"Thats great!" Miley said, hoping this was the end of the news, and was as hard as it was going to get.

"No, not really. There's more. He is living in New York. He said that he e-mailed my mom and told her that he wants me to live with him, and if he doesn't get custody of me he will fight for it in court. My mom wanted to put up a fight, but I told her not to. I don't want to be the cause of the family break up and more fighting. I can't do that...I- I have to move to New York with my dad, Miley." Jake told her the bad news. When he looked back over he noticed she had tears streaming down her cheeks. He couldn't take the sight of her crying so he looked back out into the dark water, trying to hold in his own tears. Everything seemed to fall apart, just when it had gotten better.

"Ughh." Jake groaned. "This is why I couldn't tell you. I don't want you to cry, Miles; I love you." He looked back over to her, noticing the tears were only coming more now.

"Please. Please don't cry, Miley." Jake sighed deeply then wiped some tear drops off her cheeks. She shook her head as if to say she couldn't help it.

"I...N-no, you- you can't leave, Jake." Miley cried.

"Miley, I have to. I wish there was something I could about it but I can't, Im sorry." Jake said, but Miley got up and started walking away quickly. She would rather be anywhere but here right now.

"Miley! Miley, wait!" Jake called after her, then went and caught up to Miley's pace. He took her hand in his. "Where are you going?" He asked.

"Anywhere far from here." Miley said. She was fidgeting, the tears were still pouring, and she couldn't meet his eyes. She look so vulnerable, like a little kid that had to go to the bathroom. Jake pulled her into a tight hug.

Miley laid her head on his shoulder and cried. "Jake, I'll always love you..." She breathed into his ear.

"I'll never stop loving you." He whispered into her ear. Jake couldn't hold them in anymore. He wasn't sobbing like Miley, but he did have a few stray tears coming down his face. Jake pulled away but was still holding her hand. He sat down in the sand and pulled her down with him. He laid back under the stars and Miley curled up to his side with her head on his chest. Stroking her hair and telling her everything would be okay, Jake comforted Miley until she fell asleep. Then, he also fell asleep. They spent their first night together, down by the beautiful beach underneath the moonlight sky. It would be so romantic...only if Jake wasn't leaving.

A/N- Okayyy. Kind of sad. Not really though because TRUST ME, I love Jiley and would NEVER break them up haha. I also just wrote another story called What Else Is There to Do? Read it if you have time! Please. lol.

QUESTION- Does anyone know if Jake is coming back like this or next season? I hope so!

Thanks SO much for all the reviews!! They are so encouraging ) Thanks for reading.

XOXO
