I Love You Too

Jake looked back over at me and smiled, I blushed. Now that I actually spoke those words out loud to Lilly, I was a little nervous around him for some reason.

"So Miley, have you seen the list of partners in Drama class yet? Our teacher said it would be posted after school, remember?"

"Oh yeah, let's go look."

We walked to the end of the hallway until we arrived in the drama room. There was a list of names on the door. We had to have partners for a Drama project coming up. The project involved reading and studying scenes from a play and writing a paper about it. We looked at the list for our names. Our names were together.

"Aw look at that, it seems we were meant to be together." I said in a flirty voice. I loosened up. There really wasn't anything to be nervous about. Then I held Jakes hands in mine. He looked excited about being paired up but didn't say anything. Instead he just looked down and was deep in thought. "Jake is there something wrong?"

"Umm…well can we talk later? How about I meet you at your house in a few minutes to study, we'll talk then, ok?"

"Yeah ok..." I said slowly. I was dwelling on those few words 'can we talk later'. It was close enough to the classic 'we need to talk', so it still got me worried. "…I'll see you later then."

He took his hands out of mine and walked away. What was going on? He couldn't break up with me because…well he just couldn't. I couldn't think of any reason but it just can't happen. Why would he? No, I shouldn't just assume this; I'll just wait till we talk. I knew I shouldn't have talked to Lilly yet. Now this love thing is strong enough to make me assume the worst, so I'm freaking out about nothing.

I had just got home and only a few minutes later Jake was at the door. He had the same look on his face just before he left me at school. Gosh I hope he just needs to tell me some important news or something. Nothing horrible. I mean what's the worst that could happen. I opened the door for him.

"Hey Jake, so what did you want to talk about?" I tried to get right to the point.

"Well, why don't we study first?" Jake said as he walked to the couch. Now he was just putting it off. Nice try.

"Look Jake, I know what you're doing..." I suddenly went off and couldn't stop myself. "...you're purposely putting off this conversation you wanted to have because it's about us. Yeah I know it is. So before I loose my mind would you please get this break up-" I don't know why I started shouting at him like that, so I hadn't noticed he was moving closer to me. Then before I finished my sentence he kissed me for a few seconds. "-over with?" I finished my sentence quietly after he pulled away.

"Miley I'm not gonna break up with you. Why would you think that?" Jake asked as we sat on the couch while he held my hands.

"Wow thanks for stopping me Jake. I didn't mean to blow up like that. I guess it was because you said that we need to talk and you looked pretty serious about it. I'm sorry; I shouldn't have gotten so paranoid."

"It's really ok; I can see how you got the wrong idea. So I was just going to say-"

"Wait, that's not the only reason why I got so paranoid."

"Oh, is there something else wrong?" Jake asked

He looked at me with a concerned face. He was so sweet. I think I should tell him now. Especially since he didn't break up with me, so I'm sure he'll feel the same way.

"Well the truth is that I kind of...well I'm really..." Oh man how do I get it out?! "Jake I think I'm in love with you!" I blurted out fast.

There was a long pause as I looked into Jake's eyes. I think he felt the same way too, but he still looked sad.

"Soo...do you feel the same way?" I said trying to break the silence.

"Wow Miley, yes, yes I do. I-I love you too. I didn't know how to say it before either." Jake smiled as he said this then suddenly he looked sad again. "Gosh, now this makes what I have to say, a lot harder. I just can't…well the thing is..." he stopped talking and pulled me into a hug.

It was nice for a few seconds, but I was even more worried now and moved out of his arms to face him.

"Jake, are you ok? What ever you have to tell me just tell me, I'm sure I can handle it." How bad could it be?

A/N Sorry for the delay. I'm glad you all still like my stories. Thanks again for the reviews.
