Chapter Ten
Miley's POV 4
November 12th
Miley answered her phone a little pissed from the mixed signals Nick was confusing her with. "What?"
"Miley…what's wrong?" Asked a familiar female country twang. It was her mom.
What now? She thought. Last time she talked to either one of her parents had been when they had announced the divorce. Clearly not good news, she tended to avoid them since then. "Nothing, mom. Just a stressful day."
"Well, my news should take that frown and turn it upside down." That's what she thinks, Miley thought. There was only a few things that could lift her mood and going back in time about two years was at the top of the list. She doubted her mom had anything of the sort to tell her.
"What is it?" She softened her voice knowing it was just her very innocent mom and she shouldn't be taking her anger out on her. It was more than stressful for Miley when her mom pretended there was no divorce.
"I just got off the phone with the director of that movie you auditioned for last month." Miley's mouth dropped open. She altogether forgot about that audition. She knew the next words that were coming and her mom was right, for once. This was good news. "You got the part."
Miley smiled. "Mom, that's so great." She couldn't wait to get into the swing of things and meet her new castmates. Well, the ones that weren't total assholes. She couldn't wait to tell Nick and Selena. And Demi. Demi... oh no. She couldn't tell Demi because Demi was in treatment and she was out of touch and she couldn't go to set. What if Demi called and wanted to talk and she was too busy?
"I know." Tish said, breaking through her thoughts.
"I don't know…" Miley said, suddenly unsure.
"What's wrong? I thought you were excited."
"I am…it's just…" Before Miley could say anything else, Tish interrupted.
"Your new friends?"
"What?"
"You know…" Obviously her mom was trying to insinuate something. "There were pictures up of you having dinner with the Jonas clan. I thought you hated them."
"I don't hate them." She said. Well, she didn't hate them all.
"No, every teen in the world thinks you hate Joe. And that's not good for your image."
Miley sighed. "I know you don't want people to think that I'm some atrocious teen with attitude issues, but mom I don't care about image."
"I know, sweetie." She could almost hear her mom's know-it-all smirk over the phone. "That's what I'mhere for."
"Anyways, I don't hate Joe. I dislike him. You know how these things go." Yeah, right. "We're celebrities. We fight and then we'll be friends next month." Yeah effin' right. Not going to happen.
"I hope so." The way Tish said it it was like she didn't believe a word of it and neither did Miley.
"When are we filming?"
"Filming starts December fifteenth." Her mom's voice took on an excited air making Miley happy she changed the subject.
She listened to her mother drone on and on about the details to the movie while in her head she planned a trip to go see Demi. First thing she would need is company.
