Chapter 12
Promise Me
The next morning, I woke up with someone shaking my bed.
"Leave me alone." my words were muffled as I said them with my blanket over my head.
"Come on Miles, if you want to be all awake and hyper for tonight's dance, I suggest you wake up right now." I hear a voice say and shake my bed once again.
"What time is it?" I asked and turned around to where the figure stood up. Jackson was there staring down at me.
"It's almost 12." He replied and left the room.
"Dang, I was out for a long time." I said and rolled off my bed. Once I hit the ground, I stood up and tripped over my own feet as I was heading to my bathroom. Once I reached my bathroom, I washed my face to help me wake up even more.
I stared at myself in the mirror and rubbed my eyes. 'Ugh, I look horrible'
Last night, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in that classroom with Jake and Mark. It's so amazing on how people can change in just a second. Seeing Jake go from concerned to scary pissed off mode was different.
I walked out of my bathroom and headed down stairs where dad and Jackson were eating lunch. "Morning." I sat down next to Jackson and dad handed me a plate which had a sandwich.
"You mean afternoon. You missed your friends this morning. Lilly and Oliver came by early this morning to see if you wanted to do some last minute shopping before your dance, but you were sleeping." Dad said and I started to eat.
"Oh, Ohh well." I said not caring. I would call them and ask them if they still wanted to go, but then I suddenly feel… lazy.
As soon as I finished my food, I headed upstairs to look for something to wear. I was thinking of wearing a skirt and a shirt, but then dresses are always fun. I entered my room and went straight for the Hannah closet to find me some clothes. I have 5 hours to pick the right outfit before I have to leave. I wonder if I will find it.
It took me three and a half freaking hours to find the skirt and shirt I was looking for. Three and a half freaking hours! I didn't even know I had that much clothes until I went though all of the racks and all that, it was torture. The skirt and shirt was a pink and white shirt and a light pink skirt. It was pretty.
As soon as I finished picking my clothes out, Lilly came rushing into my room holding two huge packages.
"Miley! I went shopping because there was a sale and oh my gosh! I got a whole bunch of things!" She dumped them on my bed and out came a few clothes and a lot of jewelry and make up and hair products.
Lilly can be a big time shopper when she wants which is sort of scary. I thought I could shop, but Lilly, lets just say that she can spend so much in so little time. "Okay Lilly, but if you didn't notice, we only have an hour to get ready. What time are the boys going to pick us up?" I asked.
"Umm… 5:30." She said and I jumped.
"We only have 1 hour to get ready!" I ran straight for the bathroom and took a shower leaving Lilly alone in my room.
As soon as I finished showering, I walked back into my bedroom wrapped in my towel. I found Lilly already ready and putting on some make ups she bought. "That was quick." I said and I watched her apply some lip gloss.
"Yeah, well, I showered before I went to the mall and I really want to try this out before the dance." She said and stood up. "How do I look?"
She wore a green with flowers knee length skirt and a white halter top keyhole front. She had her hair up in a tight pony tail and white sandals. This is the most girly I've ever seen her dress before.
"Trying to impress someone?" I asked and smiled at her.
Her cheeks turned a light shade of crimson and she took her purse. "Whatever." She went toward my mirror and looked at herself.
"Well, you're very pretty." I said and walked into my closet to change.
I walked out of the closet wearing a white and pink cinched top with a tiny ribbon tie at the back and a pink knee length skirt with a glitter design and a small satin bow at the waist. The skirt and shirt went nicely together, it even looked sort of like a dress from far away.
"Wow." Lilly said and watched me.
"Don't make it like you've never seen me like this. I practically wear something like this everyday!" I exclaimed and walked over to my dresser to apply some make up.
"Yeah, but you're really pretty, I mean beyond pretty, you're gorgeous." She complimented and took something from one of her bags. "Here. I think this necklace would match the way you dress." She lifted my hair up and gave it to me to hold so that she could put the necklace on me. It was a pink ribbon with a butterfly pendant necklace that matched the theme of my shirt, which were a couple butterflies that went down my abdomen.
"Wow, thanks." I smiled and rubbed on the pendant.
"You're welcome." She smiled.
I added the last touches of my make up and my dad walked into my room.
"Hey Miles, Lils, Oliver and Jake are here. Yee Dawgy, you lil ladies look b-e-a-utiful tonight." He smiled.
I laughed. "I'm just wearing my casual stuff, it is a casual dance."
He smiled "Well, you do look beautiful tonight, more beautiful than ever." He kissed my forehead before leaving the room.
"Are you going to leave your hair down like that?" Lilly asked me and I nodded.
"Yup, let's go now!" I said and took my purse from my dresser.
We walked down stairs and found Oliver and Jake talking to my dad.
"Yes Mr. Stewart, we'll bring these two girls right when the dance ends, so don't worry." Jake said assuring dad that I'm going to be safe.
"Hey boys." Lilly said and posed once she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Wow Lilly, you look really nice." Jake complimented. As soon as he saw me, his eyes grew big. "You look really nice too Miley."
"Thanks." I sighed and we walked out of the living room to our ride.
----------------------------------
We reached the place where the dance was held within 30 minutes. The place was far from where either of us lived which is kind of stupid of our school for making the place far away.
We entered the hall and many people were already there. A few were dancing already and a few were sitting down on their tables. We soon found our table near the entrance, far from where everyone was dancing.
We all sat down and watched more people really dancing now.
"Hey Lilly, do you want to go to the snack table with me?" Oliver asked and she nodded.
"Sure." He stood up and took her hand to the snack table.
I smiled at them as they walked away from us. "They're so cute." I said to myself. I felt a hand grasp onto my hand on the table which got me out of my trance from staring at Oliver and Lilly. My gaze shifted to my hand and turned my head seeing that Jake is the one that took my hand.
"What are you doing?" I asked and pulled my hand away.
"I just wanted to hold it, see how it feels." He smiled.
'How cheesy, and yet cute.' I said to myself and blushed.
"Really now, I would've thought you wanted to ask me to go to the snack table with you as well or something." I joked.
"Well, if you want and you're hungry, then I guess we'd go." He replied and looked down. I guess he was planning something and it didn't turn out well, because he started to frown.
"Nah, I'm good." I smiled. 'I wonder… did I really waste, like, 30 dollars to just sit around and do nothing?' I asked myself and leaned back into my chair.
I looked across of the room and found Mark there with a very pretty girl in his arms. I guess he found a date after all. I smiled to myself. It felt good to see that Mark is with other girls. I just couldn't bear having him annoy me every second of my life asking for my forgiveness.
"Do you see what I see?" I hear Jake say and I nodded.
"Seems that Mark did move on and in one day to be exact." I felt his hand quickly squeeze my shoulder and he let go.
"Oh my gosh, they have chocolate cream pie!" Lilly said as she walked back to our table. She had two plates full of food.
"I know, I swear, I died and gone to heaven." Oliver said and held two plates full of desserts as well.
"You guys are funny." I shook my head and picked out a brownie on Lilly's plate.
"That looks good." Jake said and picked out a cookie from Oliver plate.
"So, are we just going to eat and not dance at all?" I asked as I took a bite of my brownie.
"Sure, after I finish my pie!" Lilly said and stuffed her face with the pie.
"Okay…" I frowned and silently finished my brownie.
Soon, I hear my song, "I Got Nerve" playing.
"Oh my gosh, you guys, you can't let this song go to waste!" I said and stood up pulling Lilly off of her seat.
"Fine…" She dropped her fork and we went on the dance floor jumping, dancing, and singing along to the song. Oliver and Jake finally got off their lazy bums and decided to come and dance with us.
Without thinking, I started to do my normal routine to this song which caught the eyes of many people. When I noticed that I was catching so many people attention, I stopped and relaxed a bit before I started to dance once again.
Jake pulled me toward him and we started to dance together, leaving Lilly and Oliver into their own world of dancing.
"Isn't this fun?" Jake screamed trying to go through the music.
"Oh heck yes!" I screamed back.
The song soon faded and a slow song started to play. I stopped dancing and Jake did as well. We turned to Oliver and Lilly, and they were staring deeply into each others eyes, arms wrapped around each other, dancing.
There's someone in love with you, you know
"Umm…" I shyly glanced at Jake and he smiled.
Just don't wanna let that feeling show
"Wanna dance?" He asked.
Because they're not sure that you could ever feel the same
"I would love to." I said and I placed my hands on his shoulders. He placed his hands on my waist and we moved from left to right slowly.
But now he would like to take a chance
"Sooo…" I started and looked to the right of me seeing a few people kissing.
In hopes that you both will find romance
"Yeah…" I felt his eyes on me and I kept my eyes away from his face. I couldn't look at him. I was too afraid to.
In case you are willing
"Miley?" I hear him whisper and I finally looked at him.
There's something I'd like you to know
"Yes Jake?" I sighed. He looked really adorable tonight. I just felt like I could tell him how I felt right now.
Someone who will love and sacrifice
"I just want to say…" He turned his head and blushed.
Who knows what it means to treat you right
"Yes?" I smiled. 'He's so cute when he blushes.
Someone who won't change his mind
"I just wanted to say, after the things you said yesterday, I just felt as though… maybe I wasn't completely being truthful to you and myself." looked back down at me.
But always feels the same
"I don't understand you." I said. 'What is he trying to say? Is it connecting to what he was telling Hannah yesterday?'
He wants you to open up your heart
"Okay, well, I just need to tell you… I understood what you were saying yesterday. I didn't want to believe it because I thought I was thinking wrongly and that you were just playing around with my heart. I was thinking that the closest we'll ever be is that we're only friends and it hurt so much just to think that I could only have you as my best friend." He said. His eyes had a serious look in them which made my heart melt.
Darling here's my heart
"But Jake…" I started, but he cut me off.
Please take care my darling dear
"No Miley, wait… before you say anything, I really really do care for you, and if you do still feel the same, then I would really love to know, would you still give me a chance?"
Cuz I… I do… love you… it's true
"But I thought you liked Hannah Montana." I replied and looked down at his chest. I felt really… I don't know. It's hard to explain, but I felt like how I felt right after I kissed him.
And I hope that you are willing girl to love me in return
"She's over with. I realized that I forced myself to like her because you didn't like me the way I liked you at that time. I just couldn't stop myself from falling for you, and yet here I am once again falling in love with you."
I
can't see tomorrow
What
the future holds
But
I believe my heart knows enough
"Wow, Jake." I looked up at him staring at him deep in his eyes.
Ooh,
though sometimes I'm confused
And
I guess I stand to lose
I
don't wanna risk missing your sweet love
His eyes were shining with so much passion in them. He really wanted to make this work. I like him, very much, but I'm too afraid of him leaving me. I want this to work and I want to be with him… I just don't know. I've worked so hard to get him to notice me and to get him to like me, but now that I do have him where I want him, I'm scared to be committed. I'm scared that he would turn into Mark and I don't want that in a relationship.
I can feel your body
"Jake I don't know what to say…" I whispered and he wrapped his arms around my waist bringing me closer to him.
Promise me the pleasure
"Please, be my girlfriend, just say yes." He inched his face closer to mines so that he was at my eye level.
Move me even closer to you
"I will never be like Mark. I am never like Mark. I'm not as low as him and I will never be like him. I will never hurt you the way Mark did. I care too much for you to be with someone else. Just answer me please." He begged.
I can read your mind and
He practically read my mind. "Jake… I…" I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me.
I believe it's time to
"Please…" He whispered keeping his eyes on me, waiting for me to answer…
You don't have to ask
"Yes." I whispered back. I slowly closed my eyes and he lightly brushed his lips against mine as I answered. A soft slow kiss with someone I really liked and maybe loved.
Just promise me this time won't be
'Please, make this last.' I thought to myself and felt him pull me even closer to him.
Promise me this time won't be
We slowly parted and he placed his forehead against mine staring deep into my eyes once again.
The last night
"I love you." He whispered.
Promise me this night won't be the last…
"I love you too." I whispered back and kissed him once again, just hoping maybe, just maybe, we'll stay like this forever.
Promise me this night won't be the last…
Jake is a real sweet heart and I do love him dearly. I just hope this relationship will last, and I'll do anything to make myself the best girlfriend he'll ever have.
