A/n: This is the longest I have taken to update. So sorry. I had the chapter ready and everything but I didn't like the way it turned out so there are two versions of the ending. The first person to review and ask for it, I will send you the alternate ending. Sorry, it took so long. This week has worn me out so much. So, sadly, my little story is ending. But stay tuned, because in a few days, I am putting the first chapter of my LilyxJackson fanfic, We Can Go Anywhere (Working Title), up. So, rate and review my last chapters. I want a lot to close out this story.
Chapter 10: Take Your Sweet Time
"I know he is my soulmate because of the amazing kiss we had in the closet at Amber and Ashley's party. It was the best kiss I have ever had," Miley said, proudly. Jake cocked his head and stared at Miley.
"We never kissed in the closet at the party..." Jake answered, taking his arm away from Miley's shoulders.
Miley glanced at Oliver. He looked away and took a few steps back. "Oliver... was that you?" Oliver didn't answer. "Please, just tell me. I need to make sure it wasn't my, ewww, brother I kissed." Miley shuddered at the thought of kissing her own brother. Incest! Way grody.
"Uh, well, um, well well well..." Oliver just couldn't get the words right. His heart was beating fast, way too fast.
"Oliver, just tell me." Miley's eyes only showed the deepest sincerity.
"C'mon, Ollie, we would all like to know," Jake snapped. He was far away from Miley now. He was furious. She had basically cheated on him while they were together!
"Okay, Miley. It was me you kissed. Not Jake. The reason I didn't tell you was I didn't want to wreck your relationship with Jake and I didn't want us to stop being friends but I guess that didn't change anything." Oliver ran his fingers through his hair.
Miley looked at him for a long time before speaking, "Well lying to me has really wrecked our friendship even more," She said sadly and she walked down the hall all by herself. Jake laughed evily from the locker he was leaning against.
"Pshh, She's never going to go out with you now." And like that, Jake was gone too, leaving Oliver standing all by himself in a empty school, feeling empty inside.

This time, Miley was the one who avoided Oliver. She wouldn't look at him or even acknowledge him. Lily followed suit and ignored all of Oliver's nightly phone calls. Oliver knew this time he had messed up big time. But this time, he wasn't going to wait it out. He was going to fight to win Miley back. Even if he was up against Jake.
Jake, of course, still liked Miley. And Miley still talked to him. Oliver was jealous of the way Miley's face lit up when Jake was around. He had to act. Fast. Or he was going to lose Miley forever.

"So, I am assigning partner projects for this chapter," Mr. Corelli told his class one day. Oliver watched Miley look excitedly at Lily. Jake was in this class. "But kiddies, I am picking your partners." Oliver still didn't stir. Corelli was probaly going to stick him with Dandruff Danny or Amber or Ashley. "Let's see... How about Amber and Danny..." Amber turned to Ashley and had a total face of horror. Danny scratched his head and a few flakes fell out. He turned to Amber and smiled his buck toothed smile.
"I am sure we'll have fun together," Danny said, excitedly, moving his chair closer to Amber.
"Jake Ryan, zombie slayer, dream child... ah my favorite student, Your with Truscott," Corelli said, scratching his beard. Lily looked dreamily over at Jake, who waved to her.
" 'Sup, Lily? This is pretty cool we're working together," Jake said, flashing his toothy grin. Lily nodded, even though her best friend had gone out with Jake a dozen times she still was starstruck around Jake. Miley furrowed her eyebrows as she watched Lily go sit by Jake. Maybe she would be lucky and be paired with some nerd who likes to do all the work and will just put her name on it. She turned her attention back to Mr. Corelli and waited for her name to be called.
"Ashley and Marvin... Miley Stewart and Mr. Oken, over there," Corelli announced. Miley groaned and raised her hand. "Yes, Stewart?"
"You see, I kind of have a problem with that arrangement, sir."
"Well, little Miss Miley Sunshine, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Give me a new partner?" She asked, hopefully.
Mr. Corelli laughed and then gave her a stern look. "No."
Miley groaned as the bell rang. She was on her way out when Oliver stopped her.
"Don't worry, Miley. I'll just do the whole project and put your name on it." And like that, he was gone. Miley was speechless. She didn't realized how much she had hurt Oliver by not talking to him. She shrugged and then ran to catch up with Lily.

"Yeah, okay, great. Thanks so much. Make sure she is by there by three thirty. Your such a big help, Jackson," Oliver hunged up the phone with Jackson and went to go get ready. He was putting his plan into action. He was finally going to win Miley over. For good.
xoxo
Oliver sat at the beach three hours waiting for Jackson to bring Miley. They never showed. Oliver, easily grew impatient. After doing all that he could to entertain him, he looked at his cell phone and saw the time was six thirty. He sighed and walked home. His plan was dunzo. Just like him and Miley.

Meanwhile, Miley sat in her dimly lit room and looked through all her photo albums. She looked at pictures of all her childhood friends from Tennesse but barely missed them. Since moving to California, Miley had found the most wonderful and adoring friends. She slowly flipped open to the page Oliver made for her. Scattered across the page were pictures of Oliver and Miley from age eleven till now. Even then, you could see the love in their eyes. She took the picture of her and Oliver together, just a few weeks ago and wripped it in two and then slammed her photo album shut.
She had Jake. Or not really. Jake had her. This time, Miley didn't let herself get too caught up in the relationship. Jake had forgiven her for the Batman Oliver kiss but somehow things just weren't the same anymore.
Or Miley just didn't feel the same for Jake anymore.
Her heart belonged to Oliver and always would. Deep inside Miley knew it. But there was no way she could undo her mistakes now.
Jackson came running in her room. "Miley! Miley! Did you hear? They found a three headed shark down at the beach!" Jackson cried excitedly. Miley smiled weakly and gave him a thumbs up sign.
"That's nice, Jackson but I am a little too busy for those sharks. Can I take a raincheck?" Miley replied, her voice cracking a little. Jackson nodded his head, understandly.
"Ah, the great Mileycat is too busy to hang out with her favorite brother?" Jackson puffed his lips out and made a baby face at Miley. Miley groaned and threwed her photo album at his face. It fell hard to the ground, all of her pictures falling everywhere. The ripped picture of Miley and Oliver feel together perfectly. Jackson bent down and picked up the picture. He smiled softly to himself and then stood up. Miley jumped up and pushed all the photos back in the album, messily and threw the photo album under her bed. Jackson crossed his arms and looked at her disapprovingly.
"Miley, even Dad knows you like Oliver. Just forgive the kid. Live and love?"
"I am living and I am loving... loving the fact I am going to kick your butt if you don't get out!" Miley raised her voice a octave and rose to her feet. Jackson chuckled. He walked over to Miley and blantly picked to her up and started carrying her. "Jackson... you butt! Put me down this instance!" She protested.
"Jackson Rod Stewart, what in the world are you doing with your sister?" Robbie Ray asked, from the kitchen. He saw Jackson carrying a screaming Miley into the living room.
"Taking her to meet her true love!" Jackson called out. Robbie moved away from the pasta he was making and gave Jackson a death stare.
"It's your sister's love life and not yours. Let her do what she wants. Even if she is losing on the last chance she has with Oliver..." Robbie's voice trailed off and he went into a thinking state meanwhile Jackson still was holding Miley. She coughed loudly. "Oh and put her down."

Miley was laying in the her bed trying to fall asleep. She had been in her bed for over an hour trying to fall asleep but she couldn't get all the thoughts of Oliver out of her head. Soon, loud snaps could be heard. Miley tried to block to the annoying sounds till she realized someone was throwing rocks at her window. She glanced at her clock. 11:00. And then went to see who could be throwing rocks at this hour.
A/n: Any guesses? Haha. Pretty easy. But any guesses on what will happen? One hint: JESSE MCCARTNEY! Haha but you will soon see why my story is called "11:11" ONE MORE CHAPTER! And I am not sure when it will be up. Depends on the reviews.
