Chapter 10

Accepted

Monday came and everyone was talking about Hannah and Jake obviously. I watched Jake from my locker seeing him talk with the guys this time. He's been avoiding the group of girls all day and its weird just seeing him with boys for once.

He looked like he was having fun, playing around and laughing. He looked over at me and I looked away. I didn't want to talk to him after what happened yesterday. Its just not fair that I cant act like his girlfriend as Miley, but I can as Hannah.

I closed my locker and walked off in the direction of my next class, even though lunch period isn't over for another 45 minutes.

"Miley, wait up!"

'Please don't be Jake, please don't be Jake.' I told myself and turned back finding that it is Jake.

"Hi Jake." I looked down once he caught up to me.

"Where you headed off to?" He asked and walked beside me.

"I'm going to go to Mr. Grayson's class. I didn't get to finish homework last night."

"Ohh, do you mind if I stick with you then? I really wanted to talk to you." He said.

"Okay." I said and we walked into the classroom.

"Mr. Ryan, Ms. Stewart, I was just about to leave for a meeting." Mr. Grayson said once we sat at our seats.

"Oh, okay. I guess we should leave then." Jake said and stood up.

"No, no stay. I trust you. I'll just close the door. Don't open it for anyone, I'm going to shut off one side of the lights if it's okay with you." He said and carried his bags to the door and closed it.

I opened my text book and took out a sheet of paper and started to write down questions. 'I can't think with him in here.' I told myself and started to tap my foot against the seat in front of me.

"Miley, can I ask you something?" Jake said taking out his drink from his bag.

"Sure, go ahead." I said trying to concentrate on my homework.

"I know this seems kind of embarrassing to talk about, but I really wanted to know why'd you kissed me yesterday? You already know I have a girlfriend, but why?" He asked.

I dropped my pencil and shrugged. I looked up at him and he looked very concerned and confused. Just like how he looked like when I kissed him. 'Maybe it's time I told him.'

I took a deep breath. "Well… you see, I…" My phone started ringing. "Sorry about that." I told Jake and answered my phone. "Hello?"

"Miley, where are you?" it was Lilly.

"In Mr. Grayson's… with Jake." I coughed.

"0o0, getting ready to tell him are you?"

I stood up and walked over to the book shelf with tablets pretending to look for mine so that Jake couldn't hear anything I say.

"I don't know. I'm thinking about it, more like I was going to right when you called me." I snapped.

"Sheesh, sorry. Do you think you can open the door for me and Oliver? We're right outside." she said and hung up. I walked to the door and opened it finding Oliver and Lilly holding hands.

"So you're going public with all of this now." I said and went back over to my desk.

"Yup." Oliver said and took a seat next to Jake.

"So Miley, why?" Jake said trying to bring up the subject again.

"Umm… I'll tell you later." I said and started to do my homework again.

"Okay. Hey Oliver, any updates on the talent show? I want to invite Hannah to it and I don't know what time it starts." Jake said facing him sounding kind of disappointed that I didn't tell him.

"Miley, what were you and Jake talking about?" Lilly whispered sitting in front of me.

I pulled her close to me and whispered in her ear. 'I think I have to tell her what happened' I thought to myself and said "When we were putting Luke up to bed, I kissed him." and let Lilly go.

She shrieked and the boys started to look at us. "Uhh… sorry girl issue here." I said and pulled Lilly to the other side of the classroom.

"You kissed him as Miley? Oh boy you have to tell him who you are now." Lilly said and sat on the book shelf.

"Ugh I know. Oh, by the way, Jackson is agreeing to go on a date with your cousin Leah." I said leaning against it.

We looked at the boys and they were in some deep conversation.

"So is it official between you and Oliver?" I asked.

"I don't know yet. Today he just took my hand by surprise and he didn't ask me if I wanted to be his girlfriend or anything." Lilly smiled.

"I'm happy for you." then I started to think. "Lilly, how would you feel if I dropped out of the talent show?"

"What the flip? What made you change your mind? You cant please, I wouldn't have the guts to go sing on stage." Lilly got off and put her hands on my shoulder.

"I can't go. Jake wants me to go as Hannah and I want to be a good girlfriend and go." I said.

"Gosh, why can't you just tell him? Either way you'll be there and he'll understand. He changed. You can tell, just go and tell him and everything will be alright. Plus by the end of the week you're supposed to tell Jake who you are" Lilly said.

"Why did I agree to this?" I said and walked back to my desk as the bell rang.

---------------------------------

The week passed by so quickly and I've been avoiding Jake from asking me the question about why I kissed him. Today was my last day I could tell him that I was Hannah and Lilly reminded me non stop that I had to tell him.

I walked around my room in circles staring at my Hannah phone. Even Hannah hasn't talked to him this week, and he's been leaving messages asking Hannah to call him back. I looked at the time. 5:30 P.M.

"UGH I have to tell him, but how?" I told my self and slumped on my bed. I took my Hannah phone and dialed for Jake and pressed the phone against my ear.

"Hannah." I heard the other line say after just one ring.

"Hi Jake, sorry I haven't talked to you this whole week." I flopped to my stomach.

"No, it's okay, I understand the famous life, so you have an excuse." He laughed.

"Jake, do you think that we can meet at the beach tonight?" my stomach started to feel funny.

"Sure, what are we going to do?" he asked sounding a little happy.

"I… have to tell you something." I forced out. "and I have to tell you why I haven't called you this whole week."

"Oh…" His voice fell. "I… have to tell you something too. What time are we going to meet?"

"10 tonight. I know it sounds kind of late, but I don't want to cause any attention while we talk."

"Okay. I'll see you tonight." He said and hung up.

I frowned. "I think I made it sound like we're going to break up." I pressed my face against my pillow and screamed into it.

15 minutes before 10 I and I left my house and walked to the beach. I had my hood from my jacket on covering my blonde wig just incase some of my fans were still on the beach.

I spotted Jake and he was throwing stuff into the ocean. I quietly walked behind him and covered his eyes. "Guess who."

"Hannah." He pulled my hands off his eyes and turned around. He smiled at me and sat down on the beach on his towel.

"Thanks for meeting me here even though its kind of late." I said and sat down next to him.

"No its okay. So what did you want to talk about?" He asked turning to me.

"Well, first I wanted to say was, sorry I haven't talked to you ever since our date. I've been trying to figure out how to say what I'm about to say right now." I hugged my legs and put my chin on my knees.

"Ohh, well I have to tell you something too." He said.

"Wait, before you say anything, I have to say this." I turned and faced him. I pulled down my hood. 'I guess this is it.' "Don't freak out, but…" I pulled off my wig. " I'm Hannah Montana." I watched his face fall.

"Wh…." he was still in shock.

I looked down. My heart pounded hard against my chest with butterflies in my stomach. "I didn't want to tell you because I was scared… and I didn't know if you would be happy or break up with me. I don't want us to break up. I want to be with you."

He lifted up my chin so that I would be looking at him in the eye. "I would never do that to you. I care too much for both you and Hannah to break up with you." He said.

I turned my head so that he wouldn't see me blush. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, like I said I was scared."

"No it's okay. I was scared that I would have to break up with you because after you kissed me I realized that I still did like Miley, but now that I know, I don't need to break up with you."

"Aww, then I guess that its good that I told you I was Hannah?" I asked.

He leaned forward and kissed me. "Does that answer your question?"

I bit on my lip and felt my cheeks turn a darker shade of red. "I guess so then." I still felt uncomfortable being like this with Jake. It's still the beginning stage of our relationship, but hopefully this will last long.

A/N: YAY FOR JILEY/MAKE lol To all the people who are messaging me, for some reason I haven't been receiving any email from so sorry if you're messaging me and I don't reply. It can be any song it doesn't need to be Hannah Montana songs. IF YOU WANT MILEY AND JAKE TO SING TOGETHER THEN SAY IT. AND WHAT DO YOU WANT MILEY TO SING…

P: okay so it was the 23rd, then it jumped to the 27th. So two more weeks until the 10th, the talent show. And yeah it would be a little weird if she sings If We Were a Movie or I've Got Nerve again, but a lot of people are requesting those songs… for Jake I was thinking Collide or something… But I don't know yet.

try-to-sing-with-a-smile: I don't have anything against anything so it can be any kind of song lol… Yes it would be totally interesting them sing together…. you got a song in mind? song song...
