Chapter 11: The Truth is out
Miley looked down at her hands and became very interested in a piece of material that had come loose from her jeans. Jackson was looking at them all, feeling very uncomfortable. Jake was watching them all with a smile on his face. And Oliver was trying to think of something to say.
"Uh, nice place you have here." Oliver said. Jake nodded and turned his gaze to Miley, who then grabbed hold of Oliver's hand. Jackson got up then, but no one paid attention to him. "I'm going to find Lilly." He muttered and left the room quickly.
"How long have you two been going out?" Jake asked and sat back in his chair. Oliver opened his mouth to answer but Miley beat him to it. "We only started dating 3 days ago."
Jake nodded his head and continued to watch Miley, who was not enjoying her stay one bit. "Who is T.J? Did you meet her in Romania?" Miley asked. It was kind of weird that Jake had a girl hanging around with him who was 'just a friend'.
"Yeah, she's the little sister of one of the actor's who was filming with me. It was boring there for her and she wanted to come with me to this campsite. She's moving to Malibu you know." Jake said.
"Oh, that's cool." Oliver said and looked over at Miley. She was looking at the door where T.J, Lilly and Jackson had left through. Jake followed her gaze and just then T.J came in. "Hey again. I lost Lilly, that Jackson dude found us and she left with him." She said and sat down next to Jake.
Jake blushed a bit and Miley saw this. Something was up with Jake and T.J. "So T.J, I here you and Jake met in Romania?" Miley asked. T.J nodded. "Yeah, Jake was the only nice guy there. All the other girls my age where these stuck up, snobbish actresses. Jake was the only one who would talk to me."
Miley looked at Jake and saw him staring at T.J. 'Something is wrong with that boy. First he tries to get me to go out with him and now he's all absorbed with this T.J girl.' Miley pondered this new bit of information. She blocked out the rest of the conversation with Jake and T.J. She only noticed what was happening around her when T.J left the room. She looked over at Jake who was back to his normal 'I'm the hottest guy in the world' self. Then all the pieces clicked together.
"Jake, I know why you really want me back." Miley said. Jake had a confused expression on his face, but it slowly disappeared as he realised what Miley was talking about. "You like this T.J girl and you want to use me to get her."
"No! That's not true!" Jake said, but a little too quickly. Miley smirked at him. "Admit it Jake, you don't like me anymore. You just wanted a girlfriend so T.J will see what she's missing. Come one Jake, the game is over."
Jake sighed. "Yes, fine. I like T.J, but it doesn't look like she likes me more than a friend. I just don't know what to do. If I ask her out, I'm afraid I'll destroy our friendship." Jake said and put his head in his hands.
Miley leaned towards Oliver. "You keep talking to Jake while I go talk to T.J" She whispered and got up. Jake didn't move and Miley made her way out of the room. It wasn't hard to find T.J; she was outside on her skateboard.
"T.J! Can I talk to you?" Miley asked. T.J skated over to her. "Sure, Miley, right?" Miley nodded. "Yeah, I have to ask you a question. It's a personal one thought." T.J nodded. "Ok, do you like Jake more than a friend?"
T.J started to blush and Miley smiled. "You do, don't you?" Miley asked. When T.J didn't respond, Miley took her by the arm and dragged her back to the sitting room where Oliver and Jake where. "Jake, T.J has something to tell you." Miley said and pushed the other girl forwards.
"Uh, maybe we should go somewhere private?" She said, looking at Oliver. Jake nodded and the two left the room. Miley sat down next to Oliver, grinning. "What did you say to her?" He asked.
"I just asked her if she liked Jake. Turns out she does, which I'm glad of. No more Jake Ryan for me!" Miley said and started to laugh. Oliver put an arm around her shoulders. "Yeah, now it's just you and me. By the way, where did Lilly and Jackson run off to?"
Sorry for the short chapter. I actually like the character Jake; he's not such a bad guy. Just he should leave Miley alone, that's the only thing I have against him. Uh, 2 chapters left to go and you can decide where Lilly and Jackson ran off to, 'cause the next chapter is the last day at the campsite (meaning the following day)
