13 Years

"Who's that?" Shane kicked up his skateboard and watched the strange boy leave with Miley.

"Josh Woods, didn't you hear, Miley's dating him now, and he's in high school." Nate shook his head with scorn.

"But... That's way too old for her." Shane frowned as Miley shyly reached over and held the Josh boys hand. "She's not even fourteen for two more months, she can't date a boy in high school."

"Hey, that's just what Oliver told me." Nate defended, rolling his eyes at his 17-year-old brother.

"I don't trust him." Shane decided, dropping his skateboard down to the ground and stepping on it. "I'll be back later." He called as he skated in the direction Miley and the Josh boy had gone.

Shane watched with a frown and perpetual glare as Miley and Josh went on their date; they walked on the beach, went to a movie, went for smoothies. Shane watched in slight amusement as Miley tried to convince Josh that Hannah Montana was cool. Of course Hannah was cool, Hannah and Miley were the same. Shane wondered how Josh had managed to see how awesome Miley was if he couldn't recognise how talented Hannah was. At the end he clenched his fists tightly when Josh leaned in and kissed Miley's cheek before he left.

Age Of Love

"So if the one of you he doesn't like stays quiet then the three of you should be very happy together." Shane caught the end of Lilly's speach and he frowned.

"She should be with someone who loves all of her not some idiot who doesn't know talent when he sees it." Shane said and Miley looked up at him in surprise.

"Hi, Shay." Miley stared at him with hearts in her eyes.

"Hey, Sweets." He flopped down in the chair next to her. "If the idiot doesn't like all of you then you should just dump his sorry ass." He shook his head.

"Josh isn't an idiot, and not everyone likes Hannah, it's okay to be different." Miley looked away from him.

"You shouldn't have to be with someone who doesn't love all of you, Sweets." Shane shot back, feeling himself get a little angry. "Not that it should matter; you're thirteen, you're way too young to date. Especially a high school boy."

"You were dating Tess Tyler when you were thirteen." Miley pointed out and Shane shrugged.

"That's different." He deffended and Miley glared at him.

"How? Because I'm a girl? Don't be so sexist, Shane." She snapped whilst Lilly and Oliver just watched between the two.

"He's older than you, it's wrong." Shane frowned and Miley rolled her eyes.

"What about Macy? Macy is a year older than you, why isn't that so wrong?" Miley demanded and Shane opened and closed his mouth a couple of times trying to come up with an excuse. Macy Misa was the 18-year-old Shane was currently dating, his third girlfriend this month. "You just don't like Josh 'cause you still think I'm a little baby who's not allowed to do anything."

"You're not a baby, Miley, you're just not old enough to date." Shane defended, he figured it was because he'd grown up with her and he just didn't want her to grow up because that meant she might not be his best friend anymore.

"You're being a bigger jerk than Jackson, why don't you just go back to Macy, you-you... You jerk." Miley stood and yelled at him before stalking away, leaving Shane, Lilly and Oliver shocked.

Age Of Love

"You wanna talk about it?" Miley and Shane were laying in his backyard, just staring at the sky. Josh had said his second date with Miley was the worst date of his life.

"No." Miley said shortly and Shane sighed.

"I broke up with Macy." Shane blurted out after a couple of silent minutes and Miley finally turned her head to look at him. "I guess I just didn't like her as much as I thought I did." He shrugged and she felt a little spark of that hope she got every time he broke up with one of his girlfriends. "You want to go to the beach with me and Stella tomorrow to get your mind off it?" He offered and just like that the spark was gone.

"Why would I want to tag along on a date with some other girl you're just going to dump in a week anyways?" Miley snapped, feeling jealous. Every time he broke up with a girl she hoped he would like her the way she'd liked him for year, but he never did. It was always another girl.

"Hey, what's with the attitude?" Shane demanded, sitting up after Miley did the same. "I was just trying to be nice."

"Like you care, why don't you get lost and go out with Stella." She spat the name jealously. "You know you'd rather be with her... At least this week, then you'll find someone better because you just don't care about girls you... You man-whore." And for the second time in two days Miley ran away leaving Shane shocked.

Sorry it took so long; internet problems :(

Smiler For Joe!
