A/N: Wow, thanks for all the great reviews! You guys are awesome! Hope you enjoy!

4:45 A.M.

Miley's P.O.V.

4:45 A.M. Yea, this is torture...evil, sleepless torture. Oh well, I have my pillow so I'll just get some sleep on the way to Colorado. Mr. Milani was taking a count of everyone who was already there and who was left, while waiting for the charter bus.

"I wonder who we're gonna be sitting next to." I said to Lilly, who was leaned up against the brick wall by the band hall. (A/N: That rhymes! YAY! LOL sorry!)

"I don't know...I want bacon." Lilly said, very groggily. I looked over at Oliver, who was asleep leaning against the wall.

"OLIVER!" I yelled in his ear.

"Mshlupmmm." Then he slowly got on the ground and laid down and went back to sleeping.

"Whatever!" I said turning to Lilly. Then a car drove up and out came-JAKE?!?! "He just joined band! How can he already go? That's not fair!!!"

"I don't know. Well, A-He's famous and gets what he wants. B-Well, that's pretty much it." Lilly replied.

"Gee thanks." Then our purple-ish charter bus pulled up and we got our luggage loaded then joined outside around Mr. Milani to see who we were sitting with.

"Okay students, don't argue with me I'm tired and will be sleeping on the bus while Mr. Aldean here will be driving the bus." He said, pointing to the driver. He called out a couple of names, then "Miley & Jake. Lilly & Oliver." NU-UHHHH! Me & Jake? CAN THIS DAY GET ANY WORSE!!! We all started walking towards the bus, and Jake came up behind me.

"Hey Miles, Mr. Milani said our assigned spot was at the very back seat!"

"Don't care."

"MILEY!"

"And still, don't care."

"Come on, isn't that cool? The back seat!"

"D-O-N-'-T C-A-R-E!" I walked to the back seat like he said, and sat by the window. I set down my duffel bag of stuff I would need for the bus ride, and my blanket and pillow.

Lilly & Oliver's assigned spot was way at the front so I couldn't even talk to them! Not fair! Then in front of us was Chelsea & Jourdan, and I didn't really talk to them so I was totally alone. Great...Jake came and sat down beside me. He smiled at me, but I just turned my head and looked out the window. Then Mr. Aldean started the bus and off we went. This will be a long 10 hours...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Hour Later

This is by far, this most awkward bus trip ever. So far, I've got out my cell phone and started texting everyone I could find, and Jake has been studying lines. No talking at all.

And we were still that way. I shut my cell phone finally realizing why no one was texting me back-it was 6 in the morning. Then Jake threw his script in his duffel angrily, and for the first time I looked at him.

"Showbiz sucks." He replied.

"Uh, okay." Then it finally hit him.

"Wait a minute, you talked to me!"

"...yea." Well, I really needed someone to talk to. Shoot, I was so bored. He reached to hug me.

"Whoa there big boy!" I said, pulling him off, "We're on speaking terms. Not hugging terms."

"Oh...okay I'm sorry?" He said confused. He's cute when he's confused...wait a minute NO HE'S NOT HE DIDN'T CALL YOU!

"Look, we can talk more later. I really wanna sleep some right now." I said, since I'd only gotten around 4 hours of sleep.

"Yea, me too actually." We both reached for our pillows, and I put mine against the window and leaned on it, and Jake put his behind his head.

30 Minutes Later

Jake's P.O.V.

I woke up to see Miley with goose bumps all up and down her arms and she was shivering a little. I reached down and got my huge blue velvet blanket. I hope Miley doesn't get mad at me for this...I thought as I draped the blanket over Me & Miley. Hey, I was cold too! Suddenly she moved and put her head on my chest, all while still sleeping. Heck, I'll play along! I moved my pillow that was behind my head onto my lap, and softly laid my head on top of Miley's. She didn't even wake up. I quickly drifted off to sleep.

2 Hours Later

Miley's P.O.V.

Mmm...that was a good sleep! Wait a minute! My head on Jake's chest? We're cuddling? And his blanket on us? Whaaaa? Apparently Jake had just woken up too, since he was lifting his head off mine.

"...what happened?" I asked.

"I don't really remember, I woke up once but was like half-asleep."

"Yea...I can't believe I'm saying this but it was...kinda nice. You know, us cuddling."

"Yea...hey Miles, will you finally let me explain what happened? You know, over those 4 months?"

"I guess so." He'd better have a good reason is all I can say!

"Okay great! Well you know I called you those few times but it turns out calls from Romania to Malibu are very expensive, and my parents wouldn't let me call anymore. So, I tried to email you or IM you or whatever I could find online. Then my luck, my computer got a virus and broke. And there was no one to fix it. Trust me, we looked! Then I wrote letters, but every time they were sent back saying no such address or something, so I guess I copied it down wrong or something."

"Wow...I feel really stupid right now Jake...I'm sorry for flipping out on you like I have been...and I want to be friends again. And...maybe more than friends, but let's take it slow." I said. Man, I really do feel stupid...

"That's fine! I'm so happy you're not mad at me Miley. It's like I told you, I'm really not that bad of a guy!" He said, hugging me.

"Haha okay okay. We have 8 hours left...what the heck are we gonna do!?"

"Well...we can watch a movie on my iPod." And he reached down and got his black video iPod out of his duffel and turned it on. "What movie?" He said, scrolling through the list.

"Umm...how about Stay Alive? I heard it was really good!"

"Haha, you sure you can handle it?" Jake said laughing.

"Come on Jake, it's not that scary!" Okay, or hopefully not. It's kinda freaky though, cause it's pretty dark outside since a storm was about to hit. Jake pressed play and gave me one of the earphones. I laid my head on his shoulder and he put his arm around me and we watched the movie.

Later...

"Noooo don't walk through the office she'll kill you!!!" I screamed. Okay, so it was kinda scary...especially since a hardcore thunderstorm hit! So that only added to it...yea, I'm pretty much scared to death right now. Great, now Mr. Milani is yelling at us. Jake hit pause on the movie.

"Students, don't panic but...we are in the path of a tornado..."
