This is the last chapter, now before you all flip out for not havinga warning; I wanted it to be spontaneous. I will be writing a sequel, so check the Authors Note at the bottom for some more details.
Disclaimer: Still own nada, zip, zilch, nothing, zero, nil. Is that so hard to comprehend?
MILEY'S POV
"Hey Miley," Jake greets me as I stroll up to my locker. Nick was at the locker next to mine, taking books out and what not. I had completely ignored him, since he decided that it would be best to have a break; I didn't mean to, it just kind of happened. I decided to play up my flirtyness; it might make Nick jealous, or this entire thing could backfire on me.
"Hey Jake," I said, a flirty smile played on my face. I spun in my combo, and opened my locker. Jake moved so he could hug me, I completely back away, and into Nick. Wow, talk about embarrassing.
"Whoa," Nick said as I bumped into him. Jake realized that I wouldn't hug him, so he back away as Nick pushed me back upright. I took some books out of my locker. I heard Nick slam his locker, and I knew that he was off to homeroom. Things were going to be as awkward as hell with them both right next to me.
"So, come on, just one kiss," Jake said, trying to kiss me. I slammed my locker, and just stood there. He leaned more and more in.
"No," I said, trying to push him away, and in one swift move he had me pinned against a locker.
"Don't be embarrassed," Jake said, puckering up. I squirmed. I really didn't want to kiss him. Okay, so flirting with him, maybe even talking, to him was a bad choice.
"No Jake," I said as Jake's lips hit my cheek. I closed my eyes, and waited for the bell to ring. The next thing I knew Jake was on the ground, and Nick was towering over him.
"She said no. Come on Miley. Leave her alone," Nick said, directing the first and last things to Jake, the rest to me. Nick took my arm, and led me to homeroom. I was silent the entire way there, and I only decided to speak up in the middle of homeroom.
"Thanks Nick," I said, looking over at him. He was focusing on his math homework, and I couldn't get my mind to stop reeling. My thoughts weregoing back and forth. One was that Jake could just go away, and only because of that little stunt this morning. I thought that Nick was ultra sweet, and even though I kissed Jake, that things were still cool. We both obviously still had strong feelings for each other, but neither of us were going to say anything about it.
"No problem. I mean he was being a jerk, and I couldn't let anyone do that to you," Nick said, not taking his eyes off of his math paper. I saw the tips of his ear glow the color of Rudolph's nose. I knew that his face must have been the same color.
"I know, and I really appreciated it," I said, leaning across the aisle, giving him a hug. He looked at me, his cheeks rosy, and hugged me back. From the back of the room, I heard Lilly aw, and I looked back to see Oliver rolling his eyes.
----------
"MILEY!" Lilly yelled, ramming me into my locker. Nickha dleft for lunch with his brother before, and Jake had the other lunch. I was the only person by the set of lockers, in this hallway.
"What?" I asked, the last time Lilly did this; there was the retarded rumor about Jake. The completely and totally untrue and fake rumor, I might add. Lilly grabbed my arm, and pulled me down the hall. We started to walk, and she leaned over.
"I know why Jake wanted to go out with you," Lilly said. I could have been all big headed here, but I opted to keep my head on straight. We passed Jake's classroom, and I hid behind Lilly. I was pretty sure that he couldn't see me, but you could never be too safe.
"Why?" I simply asked. Lilly looked around the hallway, as if this was the secret of a life time, and cupped her hands around my ear.
"Because, he wanted to use you for some fame, until he got a little more popular," Lilly whispered, directly into my ear. My jaw dropped, and I would never consider myself famous. My mind was going full speed. This would be the moment in cartoons, where smoke comes out of the person's ears.
"Huh?" I managed to get out. I mean, I wasn't that famous, and Jake Ryan was, to many,an exceptionally cute actor. We entered the cafeteria, and Lilly led me to a table with Joe, Nick, and Oliver sitting at it.
"He wanted to use you to get to the Jonas fame, and rise from there," Lilly said, sitting next to Joe. I pulled up a chair, and jammed it in between Lilly and Nick. Great, just what I needed, and awkward lunch.
"Are you serious? How low could he get?" I asked, clearly outraged by this entire situation. I mean, he was going to mooch some fame off of us, and drop us.
"I don't know, but yea he was going to. Now, you need to stop having any contact with him, like, this instant," Lilly said. Of course everyone at the table was giving us a funny look, but I knew that what Lilly said was right. I was going to stop talking with him and all.
"Okay, I will," I said, seeing a sad glance out of the corner of my eye from Nick. I am guessing that he was still a little sad that me and him aren't an item anymore.
"Are you going to tell him?" Lilly quietly asked me, as I finished my sandwich, and Joe played with her locks. I knew that she was referring to Nick. I shook my head, but then quickly changed my mind.
"Not now," I whispered back as the bell rang, and lunch was finally over. It meant that I had to go back to class, but some awkwardness was lifted.
----------
"Cayce, I thought Kev was picking us up," Lilly said, approaching the Chevy Malibu. Cayce bought it, and planned on driving it to UCLA, everyday. Yup, she got accepted, and was living with us, till she found a small apartment.
"He was, but I opted to do it. You know, give him a break," Cayce said, as I got in the front seat. Then, Nick got in, squishing Lilly in between the two brothers. We drove down the road to Nick's house, a full ten minutes, in silence. Cayce rolled right past their house, and onto some random road.
"You know that you passed it," Joe half said, half asked. Cayce ignored that question, and continued driving. Nick ran a hand through his curls.
"She's waiting for some kind of explanation as to why no one is talking," I said, filling everyone in. Lilly looked at me, I could see it in the mirror on the visor. I knew that she wanted me to tell about the Jake situation.
"Oh," Joe said, being perfectly content with Lilly squished up against him, and staring out the window. I wanted to be home.
"Well, you see Cayce, Jake said that he only wanted-" Lilly started, but I quickly cut her off.
"LILLY! Shut it," I said, not wanting the rest of the story to get out. I would tell Nick when I was good and ready, and it most definitely wasn't now. This moment wasn't ideal for possibly getting back together with him. Cayce drove us into the main part of town, right along the beach.
"Keep going," Nick said, obviously interested in this story. Little did he know that this might be the story that makes or breaks our relationship.
"Okay, so as I was saying, Jake wanted to date Miley because he wanted popularity from you boys. You know, like help him up the ladder of popularity," Lilly said. I took one look at Nick's face of regret, and I needed to get out of here.
"Cayce, stop the car," I said. Cayce looked at me, and stopped the car. I got out, leaving my book bag, and ran to the ocean. I needed to get out of there. I didn't want sympathy; I wanted to be in Nick's strong arms again.
"Miley," A gentle voice said from behind me. I thought that it was Nick, but I didn't want to look. I turned my head to the right, only to see the car driving away, and when I turned my head back, I saw a mini 'fro. I smiled.
"Hey, hey. Everything will be okay," Nick said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I hugged him back. This is what I wanted.
"I know, but-" I said, but Nick put his finger to my lips, silencing me. I stared into his brown pools. I knew that if he didn't silence me, that I would have kept rambling on and on. I don't have an off button, and that can usually be a problem.
"Shh…don't say anything," Nick said, wrapping his arms around my waist as we watched the ocean, in peace. This is exactly what I wanted. I just wanted to feel loved by Nick.
Okay, one two three, "AW!" LOL! Okay, so I loved typing this chapter. I know that in reality, a lot of this wouldn't have happened this fast, but because you people HATE Jake so much, it happened fast. Now, as you might have read above, this is the last chapter for When Dreams Become Reality. I will do a sequel, with a time jump to summer vacation, with the tour. It should be posted like three minutes after this one. I hope you all enjoyed this story! Please review the last chapter, even silent readers!
