Chapter 11 - No Holds Barred
As the wig silently bounced off the wall and fell into the chair Miley stomped over the table. The same table she had been sitting with not to long before with Jake. Laying her face in her hands she couldn't help but to start crying. She still couldn't get over what Lilly had done. After all the they had been through together she had stabbed her in the back.
Robbie soon walked into the room after hearing all the ruckus. "Miles are you ok? We could hear you screaming all the way out in the hall?" He asks walking over to her putting his hand on her shoulder. "Bud? You ok?"
"Daddy I... I... I just don't want to talk about it right now." She stammers without taking her face out of the safety of her hands. "Can we just go home? Please?" she begs not wanting to be anywhere near the two backstabbers who currently shared the building with her. She definitely didn't want to run into Lilly just yet.
She wanted to at least talk to Oliver and sleep on it first. So she didn't do anything rash. Even though she wanted nothing more than to shove Lilly's little blonde head through a wall at the moment. And Jake... She didn't even want to hear that name again. Not anytime soon if ever.
"Sure thing" he begins to say as he walks over and picks up the wig. "Here you might want to put this back on first. Then lets head out to the limo."
She quickly fits the wig back on and heads out. Unlike other nights at the concert. She didn't stop to greet her fans standing outside by her limo. Didn't even hardly look at them for that matter. Her father standing up for her by saying "No autographs tonight sorry guys, Hannah's not feeling well." She was sure her fans would understand.
Once in the limo she didn't say much of anything. And neither did Jackson or Robbie. They knew something was wrong. But Miley still hadn't told them what. It was a very quiet ride home to say the least. All she did was stare out the window, watching the lights go by.
And if they thought there was a possibility of getting an answer from her when they got home they were wrong. She ran straight to her room slamming the door. She fell on her bed and reached for the phone. She wanted to call Oliver. Wanted to tell him everything.
And as his loving words echoed through her head 'You can tell me anything' she picked the phone up. Dialing his number so fast the first time that she called the wrong person. She quickly hung up and dialed his number correctly.
He answered by the second ring. Almost as if he had been waiting for her to call. It was almost 9:00 by now, so he was probably anxious to talk to her. "Hey Miles, I've been looking forward to talking to you all day." He answered putting the phone to his ear.
"Hey Oliver..." She answered gloomily. She had made herself stop crying before leaving for the limo, so her fans wouldn't see. But as she heard Oliver's voice she had to choke down her tears, not wanting to cry again.
"Sweety... What's wrong?" Oliver asks getting concerned.
"Well I found something out tonight. Something about Lilly." she answers throwing her a pillow at the wall. But as if it didn't make a hard enough thud she threw another, but still was unable to release her anger.
"Is she ok? Did something happen?" Oliver asked getting more and more concerned by the minute. He was now worried that Lilly had gotten hurt, or worse.
"Oh she's ok, perfectly fine. At least for now. But you will never guess what she did."
"Uh oh, what did she do?" Oliver answers taking a seat on his bed.
"Well remember that day we were on the beach, you know the day Jake and I split up?"
"Yea..."
"Well She!" Miley begins almost screaming at the word 'she'. "Had told Jake that me and you were flirting!"
"She did what!" Oliver asks as he almost falls off the bed. He had been caught completely off guard by that one. 'Why would Lilly do such a thing?' he thought waiting for Miley to continue.
"Not only that, she had practically convinced Jake that we had been flirting for a long time behind his back!" Miley continues, glad that she finally had someone to tell. She would have told her family, but didn't want a lecture from her father just yet.
"We never flirted as far as I know until after you all broke up." Oliver says attempting to defend himself. Although he knew on the inside that he had flirted with Miley a few times behind Jake's back. But Miley had never flirted back so 'it was mostly harmless' he thought.
"I know we didn't. But that's not all. Did he say something about her earrings that day before I got back?" Miley asks suspiciously hoping that Jake had lied.
"Yea actually he did. He said Lilly had been showing him her new earrings." Oliver answers confirming her suspicions. "Oddly though, I didn't seem to notice earrings on her though."
"Oliver, that's because he was about to kiss her. And you had interrupted them." Miley says in such a low tone that Oliver hardly heard her. "He said you were basically an idiot for not noticing they were about to kiss." She finishes as Oliver went silent.
"He what! How did you find all this out?" Oliver finally says getting angry himself.
"Well Jake asked Hannah for advice tonight. And he told me everything! And when I say everything I mean everything!" Miley continues wondering how Oliver would feel.
"Why that sorry bastard! I'll show him 'idiot', just wait till I see him!" Oliver says by now standing up. He was to angry to sit down. "And I can't believe Lilly, or Jake for that matter, would do such a thing to you! What was she thinking?!"
"I don't know. Never in my life did I believe she would do me like that. I thought we were friends!"
"I know, this is totally surprising to me. You sure Jake was telling the truth?"
"I don't think he would lie about something like that. Want to know what the advice was he wanted?"
"Do tell." Oliver curiously answers. There was no telling what kind of advice he wanted.
"Well he told me he still had some feelings for me! And was wanting to know whether he should try and come back to me, or stick with Lilly." Miley answers picking the pillows up off the floor. By now she had thrown all of her pillows across the room and needed to pick them up. That way she could throw them again.
"Is that what he said?" Oliver responds now in a completely serious tone of voice.
"Well that's not exactly his words. But trust me that's what he meant!"
"But we are together... What was he thinking of doing, break us up?"
"I wouldn't put it past him. I told him him and Lilly sounded perfect for each other. As they were both little conniving brats. And then I told him to get out of the room. But who knows he may still try to."
"That wouldn't be a healthy choice for him!" Oliver practically yells over the phone. The apologizes for screaming in her ear.
"No its ok. But don't worry I don't want anything to do with him."
"Well he better not try anything though. If I even feel that he is flirting with you..." Oliver pauses as he goes speechless... "It will be bad. Trust me." He is finally able to finish.
"Well I'm going to confront Lilly about it tomorrow. I want her side of the story."
"Yea and I want Jakes! But how can we confront them without them finding out your Hannah?" Oliver asks bringing up a good point.
"We will just say that we are friends with Hannah."
"But what if Lilly tells everyone your Hannah?"
"She wouldn't do that. After I get done with her, she won't do anything that will benefit me. And trust me she knows revealing I'm Hannah would make me popular."
"Good point. God I'm pissed now. I'm going to have a nice little talk with Jake."
"Just don't get hurt Oliver. I don't want anything to happen between us because of this."
"Miley, nothing can come between us. Not even two backstabbing friends."
"I agree. But I'm going to get off here and go to sleep. I think some rest will do me good."
"I think I should get some rest too. I'll see you in the morning."
"See you then. Love you!" Miley says brightening up a little at the end.
"Love you too Miles. Good night." He answers hanging the phone up and laying down.
Miley then recovers her pillows from the floor again. And after placing them all back on the bed she lays down. It took her another hour and a half to get to sleep. But she eventually fell asleep.
Walking into the school Miley and Oliver began their search for the two culprits. They searched the halls, the gym, and even the cafeteria. But the search eventually came up empty as the bell rang signally for them to head to class.
"Well were in the same class. So they will definitely be in there." Oliver says as him and Miley head towards their first class. But even as the morning announcements began there was no sign of Lilly or Jake.
Another 30 minutes passed, and still no sign. So Miley began to wrote a note and passed it to Oliver.
'Where in the world could they be?' the note read. But Oliver only responded with 'I have no clue.' and passed the note back. And the two of them just sat there, unable to even concentrate on the work. Both had a bone to pick. And both were getting agitated that neither had shown.
Two more class periods went by and still no sign. No word, no call, nothing. "I haven't even got a text message from Lilly" Miley says as her and Oliver walk into their third class.
"Who knows were they could be. For all we know they could have skipped school just to be with each other."
"I wouldn't put it passed them." Miley responds slamming her books down on her desk. Slamming them down so hard that the desk flips over and hits the floor. Miley just mutters under her voice and picks the desk up.
"Eww looks like Miley is angry" Ashley began to tease but quickly shut up as Miley gave her an evil eye.
"Don't start with me Ashley or you'll get what's coming to you to." She roars and takes her seat. Ashley just sits down quietly. As if she knew when not to tease someone because they were seriously angry.
Another 35 minutes passes and then the door opens. Laughter could be heard from out in the hallway. A familiar laugh. It was Lilly's laugh. The same laugh that Miley and Oliver once loved to hear. But now it was just a mild annoyance. Even the shear pitch of her voice sent chills down there necks.
Soon after Jake and Lilly walk into the class. Both giggling and laughing as if nothing had ever happened. As if the night before Jake hadn't even considered leaving her for Miley. As if Lilly had never stole Jake away from her best friend. And as if Jake had never insulted Oliver's intelligence. All of these facts raced through Oliver and Miley's head as the couple walked into the room.
"Sorry Mr. Picker we had an early shoot this morning. Hope it's ok that we can in late." Jake explains in a casual voice.
"Yea we've been on the beach all morning!" Lilly adds excitedly and takes a seat.
"Oh that's fine Jake. Go ahead and grab a seat. Miley, Oliver you can catch them up on what we've done so far."
Miley and Oliver share a disgusted look. "That's fine we'll catch up with them real well right after class at lunch..." Miley responds with a half evil smile on her face. 'Yea we will catch up on a whole lot at lunch' Miley thinks. Oliver looks over and shares a knowing look. He knew exactly what she meant.
'And when we get done with them schoolwork will be the last thing on their minds.' Oliver thinks as he returns Mileys grin.
As if by magic the rest of the class seemed to go by a lot faster. Then the bell finally rang. Miley and Oliver were outside the door within seconds. And holding each others hand for confidence Oliver asked "Should we wait for them here?"
"Maybe..." Miley answers then begins to think. "Actually I think lunch would be a good place. That way they can't exactly just walk away."
"Good idea, lets go get a table." Oliver says leading Miley towards the cafeteria. After getting their food they sit down at an empty table. Saving the two empty seats for the special guests.
Lilly and Jake eventually get to the cafeteria and get their food. They then obligingly take the seats saved for them. And as Lilly opens her Pepsi she asks "So guys what's up?"
Oliver and Miley were silent for a moment, then Miley responded "Oh nothing much. Just getting a whole new perspective on things you might say."
"Oh that's cool. So what did we miss in Mr. Picker's class?" Lilly asks sipping on her drink. Jake had already taken out a pencil and paper to write down the assignment.
"Oh you didn't miss to much. I wouldn't really worry about it." Miley lied remembering they had went over at least ten pages that would be on a test soon.
"So what's the new perspective?" Jake asks as he puts his pencil and paper back up. "New perspectives are always nice to share."
"Oh this one is really nice. So Lilly..." Miley begins and reaches under the table taking Oliver's hand. It was nice to know that he was there for her. She then finishes "When were you going to tell me about you almost kissing Jake?"
Jake's face suddenly went sour. As if he had eat a dozen lemons. But Lilly simply responded "We're dating, you know we have kissed. You've seen us for that matter."
"Oh that's not what I'm talking about Lilly. I'm talking about that day on the beach. You know about oh two and a half weeks ago!" Miley says as she stands up. She felt like dragging Lilly across the table right then. And forcing her to tell her. But instead she kept her cool and waited for an answer.
"I don't know what you're talking about Miles." Lilly answers sharing a confused look with Jake. Jake however partly knew what happened. And although he had no clue how Miley had found out what he had told Hannah. He did know something bad was probably about to happen.
"Well here let me jog your memory!" Miley screams and grabs Lilly tray full of spaghetti and tosses it onto the front of her shirt.
"Miley! What was that for! What has gotten into you!" Lilly begins to yell and tries to wipe her shirt off.
"You stole Jake from me you little witch! And you did it on purpose!" Miley begins to scream as Oliver starts to stare down Jake. Jake just kept his mouth shut for the time being. He didn't want to make the situation any worse than it already was.
Lilly finally figured it was time to stop lying. Miley had finally figured out what she had done. And even though she had no clue how, it didn't matter. "Well you always get everything Miley! It was time that I got the guy. Plus Jake likes me way more than he ever thought about liking you!" Lilly screams then turns towards Jake. "Right Jake."
"Well it's kind of true." Jake answers but shuts up as Oliver points a finger.
"Don't you say another damn word." Oliver instructs him. And given the situation Jake figured it would be best if he listened.
By now Lilly and Miley were in each others face. Miley completely outraged at her friend, or ex-friend as far as she cared. And Lilly was finally able to tell the truth. Tell how she thought she deserved Jake.
"You're just jealous!" Lilly exclaims putting her finger in Miley's face.
But that was the last draw. Putting her finger in Miley's face had pushed her over the limit. And as she grabbed Lilly's finger she says "Jealous? I'll show you jealous!" She then bends her finger to the side and pushes her backwards.
Lilly retaliates by pushing Miley back and then grabbing her hair. By now the entire lunchroom's attention was on them. Waiting for whatever happened next. Oliver and Jake were the first to see what happened next.
As Lilly pulled Miley's head sideways by the hair of her head Miley balled up a fist. And with one solid punch Lilly let go of her hair. Holding her face Lilly looked back up at her. "You bitch!" Lilly screams and starts back towards Miley.
"Oh you want more! Well come on I'll give you a Tennessee ass whooping" Miley responds as Lilly throws a punch at her. A punch that connected with thump against Miley's face. This didn't stop Miley however as she grabbed Lilly by her long blonde hair and began to pummel her in the face.
Lilly was able to get another couple of punches off into Miley's stomach before someone finally stepped in. It was Mr. Picker no less. And he pulled the two apart. "You two are going straight to the principals office" he says practically dragging them to the door. And as the two calmed down he let them go as they followed him to the principals office.
Some people from the lunch room had followed them into the hallway. To watch as two of the 'innocent' girls that never did anything were drug off to the office. "Wow I didn't think those two would ever fight." commented someone from the crowd.
And as Miley was walked down the hall she heard something in the distance. Back in the direction of the cafeteria. It was Oliver. He had screamed "Call me an idiot and try to take Miley huh?" And briefly after there was a sharp clang of metal.
Oliver had finally confronted Jake. He had practically tackled him into a locker. The two of them now on the floor fighting. And unlike the two girls, their punches were faster. And hit harder.
Oliver sat on top of Jake as he struggled to get up. Pummeling his head with his fists. And after about the third punch Jake was able to throw Oliver off and get to his feet. This did not deter Oliver's assault however. He simply grabbed Jake's by the hair of his head and crammed it into the locker again.
Jake responded with a punch to the gut as everyone in the crowd was taken back by yet another fight. It was an uncommon thing for someone to fight, but they had never seen two fights so close together. Jake next kicked Oliver's leg but it didn't seem to work as well as it did on TV. Didn't even stun him a bit.
"What's wrong Zombieslayer? You're moves not work when in a real fight?!" Oliver screams tackling him into the wall again. And releasing even more punches into Jake. He may have seemed big and bad on TV but in real life he went down like a rag doll.
However he was not a defenseless rag doll, and was able to get up to his feet. He then punched Oliver in the gut and as he bent over to catch his breath swiftly kicked him in the face. Knocking Oliver to the ground, if only momentarily.
He had just enough time to jump up and punch Jake in the face one more time. Then two more teachers stepped in restraining them both. And as they held the two off they both still attempted to kick and punch each other. They were both infuriated by now. And the two were practically drug to the office.
And so there they were sitting in the office. Lilly and Jake on one side. Oliver and Miley on the other. Both couples staring down the other. None of them saying anything as they all waited to see the principal. And all of them dreading the phone call to their parents. Dreading what would happen when their parents got to the school. And although Miley was sure Jake, and probably Lilly too, would get off with a smack on the wrist. She knew that her and Oliver were going to get in trouble, most likely deep trouble.
They would all almost have been tempted to finish the fight also. If not for the two teachers also sitting in the room with them. It wasn't something normally done. But given the circumstances they figured two teachers would be best, instead of the normal one that usually watched over troubled students.
So the four of them just sat there, giving each other dirty looks. Miley and Lilly both holding ice packs over one of their eyes. It would seem they had dealt about equal damage to each other, Lilly blacking Mileys left eye, and Miley blacking Lilly's right eye.
Jake and Oliver on the other hand where a different story. Jake already had the nurse put some bandages on his face. Being thrown into the lockers more than once had given him a pretty nasty cut over his right eyebrow. And the relentless punches Oliver had threw had busted not only lip but had also given him a busted nose. Which now had a piece of tissue hanging out of it to suppress the bleeding.
Oliver was holding an icepack over his left eye, which had undoubtedly been from the swift kick to the head. And had a piece of tissue in both of his nostrils forcing him to breathe through his mouth. They had all taken a pretty good beating.
A/N: Well there you all go, it seems that there was some major anger released this chapter. So what happens next? What will the Principal do? What will their parents say? Will they get grounded, or worse suspended? Find out next time!
1-1-08 - This story will have 1 more chapter in it. And I apologize that I haven't updated it since 4-9-07. But until I can get that chapter finished and updated, I think it would be best to just consider this story finished. As the next chapter will just be a wrap up anyway. Thank you all for your support.
