Chapter 14

Miley And Jackson Find Out The Truth About Their Dad And Anneliese

Anneliese is flirting with Robbie Ray a little. Robbie Ray is getting ticked off again to the point he wants to break something again than he stops himself this time.

"Sweet Niblets, please stop doing this to me because it's not fair and you know it." Robbie Ray said to Anneliese.

Miley and Jackson are in the room.

"Dad what are you talking about?" Miley asked.

"Oh it's nothing important." Robbie Ray answered.

Anneliese snickers than Robbie Ray shakes his head than leaves the room.

"You really enjoy teasing him with his emotions don't you?" Lisa asked.

"Yes I do because he's so cute when he gets angry like that." Anneliese answered as she nodded her head at her sister.

Anneliese goes to look for Robbie Ray but he's nowhere to be found than she gets all scared.

"Calm down sis. You'll find him eventually." Lisa said to her sister.

Anneliese then comes up with a way to get Robbie Ray to come out hiding. She goes outside where it's really warm. She sits on the doorstep in the heat. A few minutes later she starts getting weak from the heat than she faints. Lisa, Jon, Miley, Jackson, Randee and Chad come running.

"Come on Anneliese wake up!" Lisa yelled so that Robbie Ray could hear her from where he was at.

Robbie Ray is up in his bedroom and he hears Lisa so he comes running to see what the problem is. When Robbie Ray sees Anneliese he gets scared.

"What happened?" Robbie Ray asked.

"She fainted again." Lisa answered.

Robbie Ray picks her up in his arms than takes her back inside but it's also really warm inside too. Robbie Ray lays Anneliese on the couch than turns up the air conditioning full blast. At this point he doesn't care if Miley and Jackson say something. He sits on the floor next to the couch. A few minutes pass and Anneliese hasn't woken up yet. Robbie Ray lets out a long sad sigh. Lisa comes over and shakes Anneliese but that doesn't work. Miley decides to go up stairs for a few minutes and so does Jackson. After they are gone Lisa suggests that Robbie Ray should try kissing her sister to wake up.

"Why don't you try and kiss her to see if that would work?" Lisa suggests.

Robbie Ray nods his head in agreement than leans over and kisses Anneliese. Jackson and Miley come back into the room at that very moment to see their father kissing Anneliese. Their mouths drop open in shock and Miley runs off crying. Just then Anneliese wakes up.

"Sweet Niblets! Way to go Dad!" Jackson said.

"What did I do son?" Robbie Ray asked.

"How come you didn't tell Miley and I about you and Anneliese?" Jackson asked.

"Because I was afraid of what you and Miley were going to say or do." Robbie Ray answered.

"Speaking of Miley, where is she?" Anneliese asked.

"She ran upstairs crying." Jackson answered.

"Why?" Anneliese asked.

"I think I know why I am going to go talk to her." Robbie Ray answered and went up stairs.

Robbie Ray was just entering Miley's room when he heard her singing a song. Miley was just outside her room and singing part of the song "I Miss You."

I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you.

"That's a beautiful song, honey. I like coming outside at night. It's a good place to try and figure things out." Robbie Ray said.

"How could you?" Miley asked.

"Whoa, now hold up, little girl. How'd you find out?" Robbie Ray told Miley.

"Well, you didn't tell me." Miley answered.

"I can explain." Robbie Ray said.

"Okay, explain this: why are you dating someone without telling me? Explain how you could ever think that there's someone out there who could ever replace my mom?" Miley told her dad.

"Maybe we could figure things out together." Robbie Ray said.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Miley asked.

"I guess I was hoping to tell you at just the right time and just the right way. But I guess there was no right time, was there?" Robbie told his daughter.

"I just can't picture you with anyone else but Mom." Miley said as she got to her feet and walk over to the railing.

"Neither can I. What she and I had was special. I can't replace that." Robbie Ray said as he got to his feet and joined Miley.

"Then why are you dating, Anneliese?" Miley asked.

"Because life goes on. And we gotta try and figure out some way to go on with it. Don't you think your mom would've wanted that for us?" Robbie Ray told Miley.

"Yeah, I guess she would've. She was pretty smart that way...I really miss her, Daddy." Miley said.

"I miss her too, kiddo." Robbie Ray said as gave Miley a hug.

"Dad do you love Anneliese?" Miley asked.

"Yes I do with all my heart and she can never replace what your Mom and I had." Robbie Ray answered.

Anneliese was listening to what they were saying. Just then she came up to them.

"You know Miley your dad is right about that." Anneliese said.

"Yeah I guess your right, Anneliese." Miley said.

Now Anneliese, Robbie Ray and Miley are back down stairs with everyone.

"So is everything all right now?" Jackson asked.

"Yes it is, but I am still going to have to get use to Dad dating Anneliese." Miley answered.

"So Anneliese the whole time I was flirting with you on the first day you came here you were in love with my dad?" Jackson asked.

"Yes that is true, Jackson but back then he didn't know that I was in love with him." Anneliese answered.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Jackson asked.

"Because I was afraid of what he might say or do if he knew that I was in love with him." Anneliese answered.

"What was it like when you did tell him?" Jackson asked.

"Well it turned out better than I thought it would've." Anneliese answered.

"Why didn't the two of you tell Miley and I that you are in love with each other?" Jackson asked.

"Well your Dad and I were afraid of what you and Miley were going to say or do if the two of you found out." Anneliese answered.

"Well I took it pretty well." Jackson said.

"Yeah I know that but your sister didn't take it that well and that is what I was afraid of." Anneliese said.

After that Miley and Jackson went upstairs to their rooms to go to bed. Anneliese and Robbie Ray were sitting on the couch and they were kissing each other passionately after Miley and Jackson went upstairs.
