-1Chapter 2

Downstairs Jackson looked at the living room and noticed that it and every room in the household were a total mess. Still feeling like his guts were being ripped apart inside him he thought that cleaning might, just might, take his mind off of things. So he scrubbed every inch of every room (except his and Miley's of course seeing as he did not want to face her).

Miley got up from her brothers bed slowly, tears still running down her face silently and got dressed . Her knees were trembling , she knew she would have to face him sometime she opened the door and heard the vacuum cleaner downstairs and felt sick with regret. She made her way to her room first to change into her pajamas before walking down the stairs. The vacuum had stopped and Miley saw her brother sitting on the couch with his face in his hands, breathing deeply . At the sound of Miley's feet he looked around at her.

"Oh, h-hey," he said nervously, not quite knowing what to expect.

"Hey," she replied. Only glancing at him for a brief moment before entering the kitchen. She poured herself a drink of water, her head was killing her. She took a breath, knowing almost exactly what to do and say.

Walking back out to the living room she said "Jackson, as uncomfortable as its gunna be we have to talk about what happened." There she said it that wasn't so hard.

"Oh, ok then." she sat across from him in an armchair. She was so nervous just talking to him.

"Umm, well, first of all do u, um even remember ,you know, 'it'" Miley asked hesitantly .

"No, …. Do you?"

"No, so what happens now?"

"Well let's see we can both keep our mouths shut about this and I go on living with the fact that I lost my virginity to my little sister OR we tell dad he hates me for life because I slept with his baby girl he throws me out I STILL have to live with the fact that I lost my virginity to my baby sister and every time dad looks at you get to feel his disappointment flooding through every inch of your body. Either way we're screwed." Jackson was flipping out who could blame him really? "Look, I'm sorry but this is kind of freakin me out

Miley was silent . She then thought she heard something outside. Then it dawned on her, her father was home.

The door to the front room opened and Robby Ray walked in carrying a suitcase in one hand and a guitar case in the other.

"Hey kids, how was your weekend?" He said smiling

"H-hey dad , umm it was fine we didn't do much really just hung out you know." Jackson managed to say to his father after a few seconds. Miley just stood there staring at her father her heart racing completely terrified.

"Hey Bud, are you alright? Robby said concerned for his daughter.

"I'm fine dad I'm just so glad your home that I'm umm speechless. I missed you daddy." Miley said hugging her father.

"Aw I missed you too miles. Say how about you , me, and Jackson go out to dinner tonight and catch up on things."

" Actually dad I am really tired," Miley said faking a yawn, "I doubt I'll be awake enough . Sorry." Miley could NOT handle a night being interrogated by her father

Robby stared at her, concerned. "Ok miles that's fine. Jackson how 'bout it just you and me huh?

Jackson thought quickly, "Oh I'd love to dad but I made plans with cooper for tonight, uh won't be back till late sorry." He hated lying to his father but he too could not handle a night of questions about their weekend.

Robby Ray looked disappointed and said "Another time then son, well I'm going upstairs to unpack." He headed up the stairs but looked back before leaving the siblings in an uncomfortable silence.

They looked at each other for several minutes until Miley couldn't stand it anymore and went upstairs to change. Once in her room she took a long shaky breath and broke down into silent sobs. Her knees hit the floor one hand covered her mouth while the other covered her stomach. She had no idea how she was ever going to cope with this. She felt like she had to tell someone but also like if she did she'd drop dead on the spot .

Why? Why god? Why me? Why Jackson ?

She stood up, took three long breaths headed into the bathroom to take a hot shower, she had never felt so dirty in her life.
