Back In The Game

Friday, February 18th

The week had gone by in a blur. My mom had been so wrapped up with Carson, that I had to take care of the other kids. I didn't have time for homework or my friends except for at lunch, which didn't give me much time for anything because I needed to eat.

I was on my way to lunch now when my phone started going off. It was my mom calling.

"Hi Mom."

"Oh Lilly, do you know what today is?" My mother asked frantically.

"Um Friday?" I was a little confused.

"It's the eighteenth! It's Jacob's birthday."

"Wholly crap!" I said a little to loud. A few people stared at me. No wonder Jacob looked a little down this morning. This was his thirteenth birthday. He was officially a teenager today.

"Can you come home Lil? I'll call the school so you don't get in trouble."

"Why do I need to come home?

"So you can help me set things up for a party. You have Frankie's number, right?" I sighed before answering.

"Yeah."

"Okay good. Text him and tell him to invite Jacob's friends over."

"What time do you want me to tell him to all come over?"

"Right after school. So I need you to go to the store right now and get stuff."

"What kind of stuff mom?"

"Whatever you think we need. Lilly I have to go. I'll call the school and tell them you're leaving. Bye." My mom hung up before I could say anything. Luckily I had stayed upstairs. I went to my locker and grabbed my keys. When I turned around I was startled when I came face to face with Miley. We always had lunch together along with Joanie and Chris.

"Hiya Lilly." Miley said smiling. I didn't return the smile. I was to pissed off at my mom. "What's wrong?" She asked, concerned.

"It's Jacob's birthday. My mom wants me to skip the rest of school and set up for a surprise party because we forgot all about it." I explained as we begun to head towards the stairs.

"Man! I wish my daddy would tell me to skip school."

"yeah I wouldn't mind if I wasn't going to be doing all the decorating by myself."

"Well why don't I help you out?" Miley asked.

"Oh Miles. I don't want you to get in to any trouble."

"It'll be fine. We never get to hang out, and I can't resist a party at the Truscott house." I laughed.

"Okay then. Let's go. We have to go to the store and pick up some stuff." Miley smiled as we walked out to my car.

Before we went into the store, I texted Frankie. He was excited that we were having a party for Jacob. He told me Jacob was kinda in the dumps since we didn't tell him happy birthday. Miley skipped into the store like a little kid. I followed behind her with a cart.

"Oh we should get this and these." Miley began throwing things into the cart.

"Whoa wait Miles. We're sorta on a budget."

"Nah. I'll pay for it, and don't say no."

"But Miles..."

"No buts either. I wanna do something nice for Jacob." I sighed. It didn't look like I was gonna win anyway.

"Okay Miles. So should we buy an already made cake or a box cake?"

"Um how about me make one from scratch? That sounds more fun." Miley smiled. I looked at her a little annoyed.

"That's more work Miles."

"Oh come on Lil. We'll have plenty of time. Now come on." I followed Miley reluctantly around the store.

We ended up spending over a hundred dollars. She wouldn't even let me pay half. We loaded all the bags in the car and headed home.

"So your mom must be pretty busy to forget about Jacob's birthday." Miley stated as we drove.

"Yeah, Carson is a lot to handle, especially with Arron. Things will only get harder when my kid comes."

"Are you gonna be able to graduate?"

"yea. He's not due till the beginning of June."

"Joanie too?"

"yea. Our due dates are only a few days apart. We really wanna have them on the same day."

"That would be cool." I nodded. We finally got home and got everything out of the car. My mom came walking down the stairs carrying Arron.

"Oh hi Miley." My mom said when he noticed her. "It's been a long time."

"Yes ma'am it has. It's nice to see you again." My mom and Miley smiled at each other.

"So mom, where do we start?" I asked.

"Oh I figured we can set up everything in the den."

"Okay. Well we are going to make the cake from scratch so..."

"Okay that's fine. Arron and I will decorate while you girls make the cake." My mom headed off to the den with a couple of bags. Miley and I took the rest and headed to the kitchen. Miley had looked up a recipe on her phone while we were at the store. She was following it and making the cake while I was putting the snacks we bought into large bowls. Miley and I finished at almost the same time. I watched as Miley was putting the cake in the oven. I leaned against the counter when my arm hit the bag of flour. I grabbed a handful of flour from the bag. I turned around quickly and threw it at Miley. Her mouth sat open as the flour covered her face. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Lillian Truscott!" Miley finally called out. She started to inch towards me. I continued to laugh as I inched backwards. I went back till my back hit a counter. "You're gonna get it now." Miley put her hand in the flour bag and threw a fist full of it at me. I closed my eyes as the flour hit me. I opened them when I heard Miley begin to giggle. I shook some of the flour off and lunged at the flour bag. Miley went running in the opposite direction screaming. I threw some more flour at her. It flew across her back and covered her hair. Miley fell to the ground causing me to drop the flour bag in shock. I knelt down beside her. "Oh gosh Miley. Are you okay?" Miley quickly got up and snatched up the bag of flour. "Tricked you sucker." Miley snickered as she poured the remaining flour on my head. I couldn't help put laugh as the flour settled around me. Miley laughed too. She held out her hand to help me up. I took it and rose to my feet. I began to laugh some more. Miley hopped on to the counter behind her. She smiled when I looked over at her. My desire took over me as I walked in-between her legs and grabbed the back of her head. I crashed our lips together and gripped the back of her head tighter. To hell with being just friends. This felt amazing. Three months with out this was unbearable. I broke from the kiss to breathe. Miley looked at me a little shocked. "I thought we were taking it slow. You know just being friends." "I can't be just friends after that Miles. I love you to much to just walk around pretending I don't want you. I think if I wasn't pregnant things would have been a little different on Monday. I'm pretty sure I would have jumped you in the restaurant." Miley and I both laughed. I was about to lean in and kiss Miley again when my mom walked in. I jumped quickly away. I could feel my face getting red. "Lillian! What in the world happened in here?" I looked around the kitchen. We had made quite a mess with the flour. "Sorry Mom" I mumbled. "Get it cleaned before you have to go get Kara and Jacob. I need to go tend to Carson if you need me." I nodded and looked over at Miley. She was looking down at her feet. As soon as my mom walked out I began cleaning up. Miley hopped off the counter and began helping me. As we cleaned neither one of us spoke. The timer on the oven went off just before we were finished. Miley went and got the cake out while I finished. When I was done, I leaned against the counter and watched Miley as she put the frosting on the cake. She looked up at me and smiled. She dipped her index finger in the frosting and swayed over to me. "Open." She practically demanded. I obeyed and opened my mouth. Miley stuck her finger in my mouth. I began licking the frosting from her finger. I couldn't help the moan that escaped my throat as she began pulling her finger from my mouth. Miley began to giggle. "I knew you'd like it." "You wanna know something I like better?" Miley nodded. I closed the tiny space that was between us and crashed our lips together. "Lilly!" I heard my mom yell. Miley and I both moaned as we pulled apart. I walked out of the kitchen and in to the hallway. "What mom?" I yelled back. "It's time to get Kara and Jacob." "Okay mom I'm going" "Be sure to take Jacob to go get something so his friends have time to get here." "Got it mom" I said before heading back in the kitchen. Miley was putting the final touches on the cake. "Hey Miles I have to go. Will you let Jacob's friends in?" "Sure Lil" "Thanks. Oh and there will be a girl and two little boys coming too. I watch them after school for awhile" Miley nodded and I walked out of the kitchen and headed out to my car. I took my time driving to Kara's school. Usually I pick up Jacob first but I needed to waste time for his friends to get to our house. Frankie assured me all Jacob's friends were going to be there. Kara came bouncing out to the car like she always does. She hopped in to the back seat and curiously looked around. "Where's Jakey?" She asked. She was the only one who was allowed to call him that. "We're going to get him and take him to the mall so he can get a birthday present." "Why does he get to go get a present?" "It's his birthday, Kare bear." "I want it to be my birthday." I heard her mumble. I couldn't help but laugh. Jacob also looked confused when he saw Kara in the car. "Happy Birthday!" Kara screamed in his ear. "Um wow. Thanks Kare." "Whatever. We have to go to the stupid mall for you." Kara mumbled, losing the cheerfulness she had. "Kara! You weren't suppose to tell him!" It was a good thing i hadn't told her about the party. "I'll pretend I didn't hear her." Jacob said. I could see him smile a little out of the corner of my eye. Since it was a Friday, the mall was pretty packed. I knew Jacob wanted to go to Hot Topic. He loved that store. I use to like it too but the day I walked in and saw enormous Care Bear, I knew it was a poser store. I don't have a problem with Care Bears, they just don't belong in Hot Topic. Kara was holding on tightly to me through the entire store because one of the workers had a huge mo-hawk and about fifty piercings. Jacob went around the store at least five times. It was a good thing because that meant I didn't have to waste any more time and I could get back to my Miley. My Miley. Man that was something different to think about. I had thought about her when she was gone but it wasn't like I was thing now. Before my thoughts were all sexual, now they were long term thoughts. I thought about raising my son with her. I thought about touring with her. Something in the back of my mind was telling me to not get my hopes up but everything else was telling me this was it. Jacob had finally settled on a few band shirts and a pair of neon green Converse. Kara was glad when he was done. We fought through the crowd and got back in my car. The ride was silent except for the radio. When we arrived at the house I noticed my mom's van was in the driveway instead of the garage. I played off my confusion and walked behind Kara and Jacob to the front door. As soon as Kara opened the door everyone popped yelling "surprise!". Kara and Jacob were both taken back. When Kara realized it wasn't all for her, her face sunk a little. Jacob's face lightened up. Immediately he gave Frankie a quick little hug and then proceed to greet the other kids that had come. I found Miley in the kitchen all alone. "Why are you in here?" I questioned. "There were a bunch of the kids making a fuss about me so I removed my self from the party." "Why?" "It's suppose to be about Jacob not sill y questions about my sexuality." I gave her a questioning look but quickly shook it away. I took a hold of Miley's hand and began to drag her out of the kitchen. "Come on Miles, we'll go have our own party." I smiled all the way up to my room. I was back in the game. ** AN: I'm sorry this took so long but my creative juices went bye bye. It was like I'm drawing a complete blank and can't think of anything to do with this story.
