CHAPTER TEN! Whoo! Okay, so I might have had just a little bit of sugar, but I'm all good. Enjoy chapter diez…
NOTE: I attempted to add Kevin more, as like a big brother kind of person. Okay, so I might have failed miserably at adding him in mroe, but come on I made an honest attempt. I am seriously considering making a OC, just so Kevin won't be lonely. Okay, so onward with the story...
Disclaimer: Grr…stop rubbing it in my face. I don't own Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers. Or any of the songs mentioned, like hello!
MILEY'S POV
I was preparing to go onstage as an opening act for the Jonas Brothers. How had all of this happened so fast?
"Ready?" Kevin asked me, opening the dressing room door. I was dressed and looked ready; mentally, not so much. I was a wreck. I had slight stage fright, and I didn't want to be come too famous; only because my dad's fame tore our family apart.
"Not really," I squeaked, and did the thing that Sharpay does in High School Musical. Kevin chuckled, and sat across from me.
"You'll do fine," Kevin said. Those oh-so encouraging words. I took in a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.
"Okay, I'll do fine. I'll do fine. I will do fine. I'll do fine. I will do fine. I will do fine. Okay, I will be fine out there," I chanted as I tried to calm myself down. It wasn't working too well, but I was making an honest attempt.
"See now you get it," Kevin said, and smiled. I smiled back. Why couldn't Jackson be all caring like this? Like, my own big brother wasn't even this sweet to me.
"Thanks," I said, and gave Kevin a hug. Nick walked in, and was glaring at Kevin. Kevin walked out, and Nick rubbed my back. He knew how nervous I really am.
"You'll do fine," Nick said. I giggled. I think it was a Jonas thing. I sat on the couch, and I kept taking in deep breaths. I started to over think everything.
"What if I trip?" I just randomly burst out asking. Nick looked at me like I had three heads.
"You-" Nick started to comfort me, but I just kept thinking, and I started to freak out.
"What if people laugh at me? What if no one likes me? What if I am a failure up there?" I kept freaking out. I started to pace. Nick sat on the couch; either, enjoying this moment or trying to figure out a way to comfort me. I decided on the second one.
"No one-" Nick started, but I yet again cut him off. I knew that he was trying to help me, but my mind was racing.
"What am I going to sing? Oh my Jonas! This is too much! What if I trip, and people laugh? What am I going to sing? What if I forget the words to whatever I am going to sing?" I continued rambling. Not noticing that Lilly and Joe were now sitting on the couch, next to Nick. I was still pacing, all over; I was beginning to get dizzy.
"Mile- Han- You'll do fine," Nick said quickly, before I could cut him off. It was cute how he didn't exactly know what to call me at this point. I smiled at him.
"I know, but still," I said, and tried to make a decent argument. I didn't think that was going too well. I sat on the couch, in between Lilly and Nick.
"Miles, you should sing that song that you have in your note…never mind. I mean, what," Lilly started to say, but I shot her a look, and it was too late to save it. She tried, and failed, but still, she tried.
"You have songs?" Kevin asked, just randomly walking into the room. He sat on the couch opposite to the one that everyone else was squished on.
"No," I said quickly, a little too quickly. I sighed. Lilly had just spilled my secret. I carried that notebook everywhere I went. It was in my backpack in the limo. I insisted on bringing it, but I left it in the limo.
"Where is it?" Nick asked me. This was so unfair. Everyone was against me.
"She left it at home," Lilly lied. She knew that notebook went everywhere I went. I smiled at her. She was an amazing best friend. So maybe, some people are on my side.
"Lilly, where is her notebook?" Joe asked Lilly, sweetly. I could see her starting to cave, so much for a best friend. Well, I think if Nick asked me like that I would tell him. Although, he wouldn't because he is too shy.
"In the limo," Lilly said, sounding dazed. It was like he had some kind of spell on her.
"Please, Miley. Just get it," Kevin pleaded. It was like the Jonas's had some kind of power to make you do anything. Because the next thing I know I was outside, fishing through my bag for my notebook. I got it, and walked back in.
"Happy?" I said, sounding slightly annoyed, as I threw the notebook on the floor. Nick, Kevin, and Joe immediately jumped on it. I flopped onto the couch that Lilly was occupying.
"Thrilled," Lilly said, answer my rhetorical question. I just smiled at my best friend. She was so dumb, but that's why I was her best friend. The three boys stood up.
"That was amazing," Joe said. He seemed kind of in a shock that I could write songs. I used it as a stress reliever. I guess some of the songs in there were worth reading.
"I didn't no that you played guitar," Nick said, as he looked up from one of the last pages. Ugh, that's where I wrote chords down. Kevin raised his eyebrows at me. Joe sat down next to Lilly.
"I guess I play some. I mean like not much, and I'm not that good," I said, trying to not give it away. I had been teaching myself since I was eight, but before that my dad had taught me some. That was all before my mom died, and my dad began to play constantly to escape.
"That's what you said about your singing, and it's not bad at all," Nick said, handing me a guitar. Lilly and Joe moved to the other end of the couch, so the guitar wouldn't be hitting them.
"What should I play?" I asked, silently, as I adjust the guitar on my lap. Nick and Kevin scanned the pages. They stopped on one of the first pages I had written on.
"How about this one?" Kevin asked me as Nick handed me my notebook. It was titled 'Right Here'. It was one that I had written after I had Lilly's dad left, for the final time. We were both twelve, and Lilly was a wreck.
"Are you sure? It's like one of my first ones. From when I was ten," I informed everyone. Lilly sat up; she knew that I had a lot of good songs written in here; most of them being from when I was younger.
"Yup," Kevin and Nick said as they sat down. I took in a deep breath. I strummed the familiar chords.
I'll be right here when you need me
Anytime just keep believin
And I'll be right here
If you ever need a friend
Someone to care and understand
I'll be right here
I stopped after the first verse. Lilly had tears in her eyes. She knew that I had written this song after that incident. I used to sing it to her for the first couple days after her dad left. She knew all the words by heart. I put the guitar down, and leaned over to hug my best friend.
"Miley, you need to sing that," Kevin and Joe said in unison. Nick still had a pretty shocked face on. He already knew that I could sing.
"Okay, but I can't just sing one song," I said, pointing out the obvious. Nick smiled. He better have a good idea.
"You could sing Please Be Mine with me, and then we could all sing this one," Nick suggested. I looked at the page he had it open to. It was an assignment from Jackson. He bet me that I couldn't do a song with four people singing; I did it, and got a hundred dollars. That boy is so dumb at times. It was a really good idea.
"So like I could sing Right Here, and then we could sing Please Be Mine. Then, the Joe and Kevin could come out, and we sing We Got the Party. Then, you can all have your spotlight," I said, trying to figure out what was going on in Nick's head. I smiled.
"Exactly," Nick said, dragging me off to another room. We practiced Please Be Mine for a half an hour. Then, Kevin and Joe joined us, practicing We Got the Party.
"Ten minutes," A loud voice boomed through backstage. I could hear the fans yelling from behind the curtain. My stomach flipped. I immediately felt sick. Nick must have sensed this.
"You'll be fine. Stop freaking," Nick said, giving me a hug. I was going to be fine.
Okay, so that was a pretty okay-ish chapter. I loved all for the reviews that I got on the last chapter. Keep them coming! Please review!
