A/N Really sorry for the wait. I had some major writers block going on. I also moved and was really busy. And yet had some more major writers block again. Might be awhile until the next one, but seriously not as long as it took for this one. Anyway here you go, I hope you enjoy.
Explanations and Changes?
I smiled at them and looked over at the stage again. Then I heard them call my name to go on in ten seconds. I quickly glanced back one more time and saw something that was probably going to keep me from concentrating on singing. Something that I told myself I never wanted to think about again. Jake was leaning against a wall and smiling at Lilly. She was also looking right back at him and blushing. Then for a few seconds, just before I went on, I could have sworn he began flirting with her. what's going on? Not them, they better not…
No they're just friends. I was frusturated and stomped up to the stage. But before I saw the crowd, I changed it to a walk so it wouldn't look like I was mad. Then I waved to the crowd and began singing. He couldn't have been flirting, what am I thinking? They're just friends. I tried to convince myself of this so I could focus on the concert.
During the concert
Lilly's POV
After I waved to Miley, I turned back to Jake. He leaned up against a wall on his shoulder and faced me, then started talking.
"Gosh, I know it's going to be hard for us to be separated for a few months..." Jake sighed "...But you know I'm going too call every day." he smiled at me, looking deep in thought.
That statement wasn't directed at me was it? Then I quickly glanced over to the stage, where Miley was standing. But she wasn't standing there anymore, she was stomping onto the stage in an angry huff. Oh great, she must have seen that. But why would she be mad? He couldn't have been...flirting with me?
"Uh yeah, thanks Jake. I'll miss you too." I said an uneasy tone in my voice. "...but what about-"
"Oh I was actually talking about Miley. I meant that it was going to be hard for me and Miley to be seperated for two months. Well I'll miss you too of course." he said and put his hands in his pockets. Apparently nervous that I took it the wrong way.
"Oh good..." I let out a short breath "...cause for a minute there I uhh...I thought you were..." I paused and looked at him.
"Hitting on you?"
"Well not exactly my choice of words, but yeah. I mean what about in the bus? You winked at me and you wanted to take me here."
"Well I really did like your prank and I really wanted to come see Miley. I also didn't want you to come alone of course. But now I can see how that might have come across as flirting." he sighed and looked around the room.
"Yeah I know, thanks Jake. But now we've just got one more problem. I think Miley has noticed and she's not too happy about it."
"Oh no, I guess she took it the wrong way too. I guess I should tell her straight out then."
"Cool, good idea. Hey do you wanna go get a soda? I think Miley has some in her dressing room." he seemed really nervouse, I tried to lighten the mood.
"Oh yeah that would be great let's go." he perked up at this thought. I sure hope Miley will let him explain. He didn't look very happy about explaining this to her.
When we got into her room, we got some sodas and sat on the couch. It sounded like a song of hers had just ended.
"Oh, I think Miley's about to come in. It sounded like she just finished with a song."
"Ok well I guess I'll talk to her while-"
"Wait how about I tell her? I'll tell her what you said to me and that we were just getting mixed signals, ok?"
"Really, are you sure?" he brightened up at my offer. We both stood up.
"Of course, I mean you do seem a bit nervous and it might be better coming from me."
"Wow, thanks Lilly." he smiled and gave me a light friendly hug. Just then Miley walked in. Perfect, this was the last thing she needed to see right now.
Walking into the dressing room
Miley's POV
The next break was to change outfits. When I walked backstage I didn't see Lilly and Jake waiting for me. That was odd. Well they're probably just in my dressing room. When I reached it I quickly opened the door. There they were...hugging?!
"What have you been doing in here?" I practically shouted
"Whoa Miley, what's wrong?" Jake asked, a little startled. His back was facing me, so he hadn't seen me come in.
"Oh I don't know...you two were hugging!"
"Listen Miley I need to tell you something." Lilly said and then looked at Jake. "Jake I'll see you in a minute, we're gonna talk."
"Oh right, ok. Bye Lilly, later Miley." Jake quickly walked out the door. Now I felt totally out of the loop here.
"Um, Lilly?" I said in a fake sweet voice. "What is going on with you girl? Why have you been flirting with Jake?"
"Miley chill, just let me explain please."
"Oh I will. And it better be good."
"Ok thanks. He only winked because he thought my prank was a good idea. And he offered to take me here because he really did want to see your concert. He also didn't want me to go alone of course. And you know I also thought he was flirting too. He said he wasn't and so this has all been just a big misunderstanding."
"Really? Gosh I'm sorry I really shouldn't have assumed-"
"No it's ok, he said he realized how that came across as the wrong idea."
"Yeah I guess you're right. But wait, why isn't he telling me all this?"
"Well because..." she looked around the room, like she didn't really know what to say.
"Lilly? Why are you telling me and not him?"
"Because...gosh I don't know. He was just really nervous and didn't know how you would react. I think you might have been a little I don't know...intimidating?"
"Me?" I chuckled at the thought. "Me? Intimidating? Are you serio...oh my gosh I'm late for my next song! And I haven't even changed." I had noticed a clock on the wall.
"Oh I'm sorry Miles. Well good luck."
"Ok thanks Lilly." I walked out the door and Jake was leaning on a wall waiting for us. He looked a little startled when I came out. Yet slightly sad too.
"Hey Jake. I'll see you in a few minutes." I moved in to kiss him.
"Yeah I'll see you Miley." he said quietly. He didn't take the kiss but turned it into a hug instead.
I walked away slightly disappointed. He never gives up those chances to kiss me. Did he tell Lilly the truth?
"Jake why'd you do that? I thought you said you weren't flirting with me." Lilly said a little confused.
"I know I know, I did say that. It's not that it's just..."
"Just what? Jake, what's wrong?"
