Loving Hannah, Not Miley
Chapter 25: Blackmailing Isn't Always Bad
Chase's POV
I am so sick of this. So sick of it all. I know you've heard me complain many times but if you were in my situation you'd be doing the same. Luckily I'm only in Malibu for two more days.
"You promised! If I have to go so do you!" Lilly shouted.
"You should have made me not come!"
"I warned you but you didn't listen so come on!" She grabbed my arm and we walked out the front door.
Everyday I've gone to school here (except the first day) I've tried to stay at Lilly's house but somehow she always gets me to come. Well this time I've planned something. And hopefully it will fix everything.
--------------------------------------------------------------
We got to school and everyone seemed to be split up. Miley and Oliver of course weren't together, Lilly of course wouldn't be with Sasha, even Dean and Jackson weren't hanging out and Jackson even wasn't with Lilly, and of course Summer had wondered somewhere trying to think of a new plan. So everyone was just floating around by themselves.
Becca, Steph and Emily walked over to me. I had met them the second day I came to school here.
"What's going on around here?" Emily asked.
"I'm really confused, everyone's trying to pull me into the fights about god knows what. I'm really not sure and I do not want to know!" I told them.
"Well something's up. They're all by themselves." Becca said.
"Lonely and upset." Steph added in.
"Well I'm sure they will be back to normal soon." I hope.
I turned around when I heard someone say my name. It was Sasha.
"Look I don't want to hear what you have to say this time, actually I never did, I'm not a part of any of what ever the heck your doing and I don't want to be blamed for it." I told her.
She ignored what I said. "Have you talked to Lilly?"
"Yes I have." I answered.
"About yesterday?"
"No I haven't."
"Well do it then!"
"No. None of this is to do with me so you talk to her yourself! Why are you bringing me into this anyway?"
"She's your cousin, I'm supposed to be your friend, talk to her!"
"Friend? I've known you for like less than a week or round about it and then you blame me about nothing I even know about and then your supposed to be my friend?" I chuckled sarcastically. "No!"
I walked away. I realized everyone was staring at us, watching our argument, wide-eyed. I realized we were yelling pretty loud.
This school, it reminds me of the show Gossip Girl, everyone knows about the fights and the arguments and is eager to find out what happens next. Except in this situation nobody knows what the fights are about so they just make up rumours.
Somehow I convinced Summer to help me out when I can stop Lilly from forcing me to go to school here.
-- Yesterday --
I walked into Lilly's room, which Summer was staying and heard her talking on the phone. I stood by the doorway and listened.
"I just found that photo on my camera. I haven't seen it in ages. I thought I deleted."
I wonder what the photo is.
"I can't believe Alana and Jade would do something like that! Actually yes I can. They're my rivals. It's so good I got that photo off them otherwise I would be the school joke to the end of high school. Maybe even longer. And now that I remember about this photo I so have to get them back."
Ooh. I have to see this photo.
"Yeah. I'm coming back tomorrow. The last day of school. I can't wait to see Michael again." She sighed.
The last day of schools tomorrow so Summer will end up being a sophomore next year and I'll be a junior.
"Okay, I'll see ya soon, bye."
She hung up the phone and walked out of Lilly's room holding the camera.
I quickly grabbed the camera and flicked through the photos until I found the photo she was talking about.
"Hey! Give me the camera back!" She yelled.
"Never!" I laughed wickedly and ran off.
This photo will be perfect for my plan. If she doesn't do what I say I can blackmail her!
Oh god, I'm starting to sound like her. But in this situation I might have to.
"Give it back!"
"What the hell? Did you take this photo?" I asked.
"No! Do you think I would? It was those stupid bitches back home used for some stupid revenge of there's about something."
"Oh like your stupid revenges, which is revenge for something that someone didn't do."
"Hey, last time I did it for a good reason."
"Yeah, yeah." I replied sarcastically.
Summer must have been saying on the phone that Kelly and Jade took the photo. Sounds like some stupid thing they would do.
It was Summer in the locker rooms at school in her underwear, looking quite shocked; she must have just realized they were taking the photo. I shuddered at the sight.
I knew exactly what I had to do.
I got onto the computer and put the photo on there.
I chucked the camera to her. "You can have it back."
Summer didn't realize that I had put the photo on the computer. "Thank you." She replied looking mad.
I pulled out a piece of paper out of my pocket and handed it to her. "Summer, ring Sasha and Miley and read this to them."
"No! Did you ever think I would do that?" Summer told me after reading what it said.
I had wrote:
Hi Sasha. I'm sorry about the time I've been here I have been a bitch. I am only here for 3 more days, and I would like to make it up to. I was thinking of having a girls night before I leave. But don't worry, I made sure Lilly wouldn't be here. It would just be you, Miley and me.
It wrote the same with Miley's but I didn't write that Lilly wouldn't be there, I knew the two of them were friends again.
"And you have tell Lilly the same thing, but say Sasha's not invited."
"No! As if I would do that! Especially after you stole my camera!"
"Oh, I think I can make you do it."
"Yeah right."
I grinned wickedly.
"Come look at the computer." I was writing an email to everyone in her class including the people she hated, Jade and Kelly, and including the love of her life, Michael, which that was mainly who the email was to.
She gaped at the computer.
It had the picture of her in the email and I had wrote:
Dear Michael,
I decided I just had to send this picture of me to you.
What do you think?
I love you,
Love Summer Brooklyn.
"You wouldn't."
"Yes I would."
I started to write in the email addresses of the people in her class.
"Ring."
"No, you wouldn't do this, so I'm not going to ring."
"You really want to take that chance?"
"Well you wouldn't."
I put the mouse on the send button but didn't click.
"If you don't ring them in five minutes I will send this to everyone in the class and like you said, 'I would be the school joke to the end of high school.'"
She looked at me madly. "I now realize how you are my brother."
"Unfortunately. Now ring or I will click send."
"Fine."
"Oh by the way also call Ashlea and Jordan as well and tell them to come over as well."
"Fine!"
She grabbed the phone, the piece of paper and dialed in Sasha's number.
Summer said exactly what it said on the piece of paper and glared at me every so often, and then rung Miley saying nearly everything the same as she did to Sasha, she also told Miley for Ashlea and Jordan to come.
"I hate you." She glared at me.
"Good." I responded and deleted the email.
"Did they say yes?"
"Yes they did." Summer said sounding angry.
Later on Summer told Lilly about and Lilly agreed,
"Well I live here and I'll probably be doing nothing else so I guess I will, maybe." Was what she said.
-- Back To Today --
I laughed at remember what happened yesterday. It was funny seeing Summer so mad and so helpless.
Yesterday I each asked Jackson, Dean and Oliver to come over tonight and hang out and watch the football. They each agreed. No guy could turn down an offer to come over and watch the game, though I really didn't have to invite Dean and Jackson I did anyway. Ashlea and Jordan didn't really have to come over either but I thought they could.
"What's so funny?" Steph asked.
"Don't worry."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miley's POV
Oliver and me were supposed to be going a date tonight. I guess that won't be happening. I mean were not even friends anymore, that's pretty much what he said yesterday and it's my entire fault! But can't he just forgive, I mean it wasn't that bad, was it?
Oh come on Miley, stop feeling sorry for yourself! If it were the other way around you would be mad to! So just shut up about it! And yes it was completely your fault!
He probably just needs to think about it, I'm sure he'll forgive you soon.
It was like a devil and an angel popped up on my shoulders like you see in TV shows and I really hope the angel is right.
Everything is just messed up at the moment and hopefully everything will go back to normal. I mean, I like things to be crazy, it makes things fun but I don't like it like this with all the fights.
"You okay?" I jumped up and turned around to see Sasha standing there.
"Oh, it's you, yeah I'm fine."
"Hey, Summer asked me to come over for tonight."
"She did with me. Kind of strange, it's Summer."
"I know. I wonder what she's got planned. Whatever it is I'm ready for it."
"Me too."
Lilly and Jackson walked past and I noticed Lilly and Sasha glaring at each other, but after a couple seconds they both started to look upset.
See what I mean? No one's there normal self anymore. The two of them used to be really good friends. Maybe they will become friends again soon.
I was about to ask Sasha why she was going to Summer's "girl's night" as she puts it if Lilly is going to be there but then decided not, Sasha probably doesn't want to talk about, she seems pretty unhappy with Lilly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chase's POV
It was 6:30 PM and Sasha, Miley, Ashlea, Jordan, Dean, Jackson and Oliver should be here soon. They were coming at 7:00. Luckily the guys didn't realize that there wasn't actually football on tonight.
Summer wasn't here, she was out somewhere with whoever doing whatever. I was kind of nervous because they would all be wondering what's going on and I know Lilly and Sasha would get mad when they realized they were both here. I didn't really know what I was going to say when they found out and when they were wondering what the heck was going on.
Lilly walked downstairs. "Where's Summer? I thought we were having some girl's night or something."
"Uhh…I'm sure she'll be here soon, probably out renting some movies or something."
"Or plotting some evil scheme."
Maybe that was actually was what she was doing.
I tried to think of something to do or say for when they got here but I couldn't think of anything. Well I'm sure something will come to me when they ask, I'm a spontaneous person…kind of. Not really. But still I might think of something.
I got on the computer and thought, maybe I should send that email, I could write it again, it's about time the tables turn. But then I might be as bad as her. Maybe I'll do it later.
I looked at the clock. It was ten to seven. They'll be here in about ten minutes.
"What ya doing?" Lilly asked.
"Just thinking…if I should send that email and get Summer back."
"Rightio." Lilly looked confused. "If it's getting Summer back, I say you should, it's about time the tables turn."
"Just what I was thinking." I said.
"Well it is about time." She replied and walked off.
I heard a knock at the door and I swallowed.
Their here.
I opened the door and saw Jackson, Oliver and Dean standing there.
"Hey guys." I greeted them awkwardly.
Jackson was holding a bag of pretzels and Oliver and Dean were holding some cans of soda.
I flicked on the TV and pretended to look for the channel it was on.
"I didn't know the football was on tonight, but I'm glad it is." Dean said.
Jackson was flicking through the TV guide to find out what channel it was on.
He scanned through the page and then looked up confused. "It doesn't say the football on in here."
"Yeah well, well they got it wrong, that why Dean didn't think it was on."
"Uh-huh…"
Lilly walked downstairs and looked confused.
"Hey Lilly." Jackson grinned and kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey." She smiled and then looked at me. "Chase why are they over?"
"To watch the football." Oliver said.
"Oliver, there is no football on tonight."
The guys exchanged glances looking quite confused.
"Uhh…" I didn't know what to say.
"Did you invite them?"
"Maybe…"
"What about Miley and Summer and me? Did Summer say anything about us being here?"
"Uhh, no, no she didn't."
Lilly raised her eyebrows not believing one bit of it.
The doorbell rung again.
Okay, I'm not sure this was a good idea. I'm leaving tomorrow. I could have handled it for one more day. And anyway everyone could figure this out themselves.
I opened the door and saw Miley, Ashlea, Jordan and Sasha standing there.
"What is she doing here?" Was the first thing Sasha said, talking about Lilly.
"What is she doing here?" Lilly asked.
They walked in and everyone was staring at me looking confused, and some of them looking mad.
"Oliver?" Miley said.
"Miley?"
"Were is Summer?" Lilly asked me.
"Okay Chase, what the hell is going on?!" And there it was. The question I knew couldn't be avoided.
"Just, Uhh…well…the thing is…Umm," okay Chase don't make up an excuse just tell them why they are all here.
"Do any of you realize what's going on?" I asked.
They all looked confused still.
"I've been here for a bit less than two weeks and I've noticed it all and you guys seem to be totally oblivious to it all."
"What are you saying?" Lilly asked.
"This has nothing to do with Jackson and Dean and Ashlea and Jordan but the rest of you, it does." I continued.
I walked over and picked up a photo I noticed sitting on some shelves.
"What are you doing?" Miley asked.
"What are you doing?" I asked. "What are all of you doing? You wanna know what? You're being totally stupid!"
After saying that none of them looked happy.
I grabbed Miley and Oliver. "Do you see this photo?"
They nodded slowly.
It was a picture of Miley, Lilly and Oliver at the beach grinning and soaked.
"Okay Miley told you one lie, yeah she was scared of what might happened, and because she waited to long what she thought happened did, am I right?"
They nodded again.
I turned to Oliver. "Yeah, just one little lie! That doesn't mean you should give up your friendship because it!"
I'm on a roll!
Lilly walked over to me. "Yeah, I miss us hanging out like we used to."
"Yeah, not only are you hurting yourself but your hurting others."
Miley looked at Oliver. "I am really sorry that I didn't tell you for so long."
"And Oliver, don't you miss going out with her or you and Miley and Lilly hanging out at the beach?" I showed the photo to him again.
He looked down, looking guilty. "Yeah. They were fun times. I guess I just need sometime to think."
"You forgive me?" Miley asked hopefully.
He smiled. "Sure." And they hugged each other.
Yes! This is working!
Miley grinned. "And the angel was right!" She shouted out and everyone stared at her weirdly, not that she cared.
And now to try and make Sasha and Lilly friends again. That's going to be much harder, they are much more stubborn. Well, Sasha is anyway.
"So you got all of these guys to come over and make them be friends again?" Dean asked.
"Yep."
"Great idea!" Jackson shouted.
"Well it may have worked with Miley and Oliver but it's not going to work with Lilly and me." Sasha said stubbornly.
Lilly rolled her eyes.
"Are you saying you don't want to be friends with Lilly again?" I asked her.
"Of course! I tried to be friends with her again and she just started yelling at me when it was coz of her the fight started! And she sure enough doesn't want to be friends with me again!"
Lilly looked at her. "What would make you think that?"
"What would not make me think that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like I said it was coz of you that I got mad at you and then you turned my hair green and then started yelling at me coz I was trying to be friends with you again!" Sasha yelled.
"I didn't yell at you coz you wanted to be friends with me again it was when you were trying to be friends with me again! And it wasn't just me who did something! You ruined my reputation!" Lilly yelled back.
"You don't have a reputation!"
Okay this isn't working at well.
I then heard someone stomping downstairs.
It was Amber.
"Can you guys shut the hell up?!" She yelled.
"No we can't!" Sasha yelled back.
It was good Lilly's parents weren't here.
Amber just gave Sasha the evil and ran back up stairs.
"Come on guys! I know Sasha wants to be friends with you again, Lilly, she tried to yesterday and I'm sure Lilly wants to be friends with you again, Sasha, don't you want things back to normal?"
Sasha folded her arms looking mad but didn't say anything.
"I needed to think." Lilly confessed.
Sasha looked up at Lilly with sadness in her eyes. "Then why'd you yell at me?"
"I didn't no what to do when you told me you wanted to be friends again." Lilly paused. "Sasha, I forgive you, and I'm sorry as well."
Sasha stood there for a while and then walked up to Lilly. "Me too." And they hugged.
Yes! It all worked out! And with Summer, I'm not even going to try.
"Wow! I didn't think everyone would become friends again." Summer walked inside the house smirking. "With me here, I don't think that's going to last."
I am so sending that email!
"Get lost!" We all said in unison.
She rolled her eyes and walked upstairs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We walked home after having a late night swim, talking and laughing. We were all friends again and things were back to normal, well Miley and Oliver aren't dating anymore but at least their friends again. And the best thing is I got all the credit.
