Summary: As Miley discovers her true feelings for Jake, will she build up the courage to tell him how she really feels, and about the other life she really leads?


Chapter 9

It had been a week since the-ever-so-popular break up. The day after it happened it hit every magazine cover all over the newsstands everywhere. Miley sat up in her room everyday eating Chinese food and watching Spanish soap operas.

"No Pablo! Don't, don't jump!" Miley said with her mouth full. "No!" Miley said throwing a chopstick at the T.V.

Knock, knock. Someone was at the door.

"Come in," Miley said, her mouth full of Kung-Po chicken.

Oliver and Lilly walked in.

"Miley...its been a week, come one get out of bed!" Oliver said pulling down the covers from her body.

"But, but Maria was just about to pronounce her love to Michael!" Miley said with her mouth full.

"Let's go," Lilly said pulling the covers off of Miley and pushing her to the bathroom.

Miley came out as her usual self but still looked incredibly depressed.

"Come on. Let's head down to the beach..that will take your mind off of everything," Lilly said, trying to comfort her.

"Yeah, we'll all get a milkshake at Rico's okay?" Oliver said patting her on the shoulder.

"Yeah I guess you're right." Miley let out a big sigh. "Let's go."

Down at Rico's Surf Shop, Robby had a perfect plan settled for Jackson. He would have had one for Miley too, but he felt sorry for everything she was going through. So, he decided to hold it off.

A long rope was tied to the top of the roof holding a bucket of hot fudge. But that wasn't all, after the hot fudge would drop he would then be pelted with dodge balls filled with glue (thanks to Rico). And for the icing on the cake, feathers would be thrown at him from Jenny. The girl from the bike.

"Okay Jenny you ready?" Robby said to Jenny.

"Since the day I met him," Jenny said with a mischievous grin spread wide across her face.

"How about you Rico?" Robby asked turning towards him.

Rico just laughed his famous evil laugh.

"Perfect! It's payback time!" Robby said rubbing his hands together back and forth.

Jackson walked up to the beach, put on his work uniform, and headed down to the shack.

"Jenny!" Jackson said grinning. "I didn't think you would ever want to see me again." Jackson said, staring into her chocolate brown eyes and at her long blond hair.

"Oh...Jackson..I would love to see you...In fudge!" Jenny said, pushing Robby out of the way to grab the string which brought down the hot fudge. In a matter of seconds Jackson was drenched with hot sticky fudge. Then came the dodge balls; it caught Jackson off-guard as he was pelted with dodge balls which broke easily causing to glue pour out of them onto Jackson. Finally as Jenny was getting ready to throw the feathers Robby took them and threw them himself.

"Sorry Jen, I needed some action in this too," Robby said smiling at her.

She just smiled sweetly and walked over towards Jackson with Rico and Robby.

"And this is what you get!" Robby said pointing his fingers at Jackson as the three of them walked off.

Miley, Oliver and Lilly were walking down to Rico's when they spotted a familiar face. It was Jake.

"Quick guys! Hide!" Miley said her eyes beginning to tear as she pulled them behind a bush.

"Miley, what are you hiding for? You have nothing to hide from!" Oliver said angrily.

"Oh yes, I do!" Miley said staring down at her orange flip-flops.

"Miley no! You are going out there like nothing happened!" Lilly said angrily.

Lilly could see the amount of hurt in her friend's eyes as she continued to scrape the imaginary poop off of her shoe.

"Okay?" Lilly said lowering her tone.

"Okay," Miley said softly making her way to Rico's.

"Hey, 3 milkshakes okay Jackson?" Miley said not noticing the fudge and feathers. because had Jackson turned his back to the counter.

"Jackson? Hello? JACKSON!" yelled Miley, turning him around and noticing the fudge and feathers.

"Jackson," Miley said, beginning to break out in giggles. "What happened?"

"Dad happened."

"Daddy did this to you?" Miley said.

Jackson said nothing and got back to work. Lilly and Oliver were rolling on the sandy beach, laughing hysterically. Jackson then took the strawberry smoothie squirter and drenched them all in strawberry goodness. Everyone was splashing around and having a good time spraying each other with the different spray-able drink fountains. Jake was peeking over to see what was going on. He was on a date with Alexa Morgan...one of the prettiest girls in school.

"Jake com'on your cutting into my tan time!" Alexa said putting her hands back and forth over her face.

"Yeah one minute," Jake said looking preoccupied. "You want a drink or something?" Jake asked, trying to get an excuse to go over there.

"Sure, why not," she said. "Nothing fatty okay?" Alexa said, watching him walk over to Rico's.

"Hey, a diet smoothie please," Jake said. Everyone became silent.

"Um...we don't carry diet smoothies. I don't think anyone does," Jackson answered.

"Oh. Then a regular smoothie. I'll just tell my date it's diet," Jake replied, not realizing Miley was standing right behind him.

"Here you go," Jackson mumbled.

Jake walked off staring down at Miley and returning to his date.

"The nerve of him!" Miley said.

"He had no nerve, he had a date," Oliver said.


Okay that's all for now but more to come promise!
