Chapter 9: Daughtry Drama
A/N: Thanks for all the awesome reviews!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I straightened my bangs and turned off the straightener. Lilly had already left earlier to take a walk with Oliver and would meet us at the restaurant. Then there was a knock at the door. Right on time! I limped over (my foot still hurt!) and unlocked the door.
"Hey beautiful!" Jake said, hugging me. "You ready?"
"Yea, just let me go get my purse." I said, walking to go get it. He can call me beautiful, but he can't kiss me? I grabbed my purse and room key and walked out.
"So how does your foot feel?" Jake said, putting his arm over my shoulder as we rode in the elevator.
"Better, but it's still hard to walk."
"Well, I'm always here to help. I'll carry you, be your crutch, whatever!" He said.
"Thanks, that's sweet." We walked slowly out of the elevator and walked toward the lodge doors.
"Oh yea, I've got a surprise for you!" Jake said, smiling.
"Surprise huh?" He opened the lodge doors and there was a golf cart in front of us.
"Now you don't have to walk!" Jake said proudly.
"Uh, Jake? Where'd you get a golf cart? It's kind of hard to golf with all this snow." I said, sitting down in the cart.
"Well, that guy at the counter had it. Strange, strange man. Anyway, he let me use it." He turned the keys in the ignition and we were on our way.
"Ohh, there's a radio!" I said, turning on the XM Radio. It was set on 20 on 20 and Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" was playing. "I love this song!" I said.
"Well then sing it!" Jake said, playfully hitting me.
"Uhh...nah that's okay. It's just too...cold!" He couldn't hear me sing! He might figure out I'm Hannah!
"Whatever. I bet you have an amazing singing voice!"
"Why...why do you say that?" I stammered out nervously.
"I don't know. It's like, you look at some people and you just know they can sing. Look, we're here." We parked in front of Cheddar's and walked inside the building. The waitress seated us with Lilly and Oliver.
"So what's up guys?" Jake said, looking at the menu.
"Nothing, just talking about how cold it is." Oliver said.
"I hate cold weather." Lilly said, sulking.
"Why Lilly, you love the snow!" I said.
"I did. That was until I fell in a snow mush puddle, face first. Now me and snow are over!" Lilly said, crossing her arms.
"Well, okay then. We'd better hurry up and order." Jake said, winking at Oliver. Why would he be winking?
----------After Eating----------
"Jake, where are you taking me?" I asked him. He had put an eye mask on me and we were driving somewhere in the golf cart.
"You'll see. But trust me, you're gonna love it. Hey, we're here!" Jake said. He walked around to the other said and picked me up and carried me inside the building. It was extremely loud and there was the sound of drums in the background. He set me down and pulled off the eye mask.
"Surprise!" Jake said, putting his arm around me.
"OH MY GOSH!!! The Daughtry concert?! NO WAY!" I exclaimed. (A/N: Weird, right as I wrote that Home by Daughtry came on XM 20 on 20.)
"Come on, let's go get our seats." He led me to our seats, which were floor seats 3rd row in the center! It was perfect!
"Thank you soooo much Jake! This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me!" I said.
"Well, there's no one I'd rather be here with than you." He said, staring into my eyes.
"HELLO FROSTED FANTASY!!! PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FORRRR DAUGHTRY!" The speaker said. Then the curtains were pulled back and there they were-DAUGHTRY! They began playing, and boy were they good. I had to resist singing to them a lot!
"Okay, thanks for being such a great audience tonight. Here's our final song Home, dedicated to everyone out there with their special someone." Chris said. Jake and I both looked at each other and smiled.
I'm going home, to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
Not running from, no I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life you chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
"This is now officially our song!" I said, in Jake's ear.
"You got it." He said, smiling. The curtains closed because the concert was over, and we walked out of the concert hall to our golf cart.
"Thanks for a great time Jake. I can't explain to you how...happy I am right now." I said shyly.
"No, thank you. For giving me a chance. For seeing the real me. If you're happy, I'm happy." Then FINALLY we both began to lean in, closer, closer, until BAM! We finally kissed. It was...sheer bliss. Whoa, what just landing on my face? We broke apart and looked up to discover that it had started snowing. I laughed and he pulled me in for another kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and never wanted the moment to end. Hmm, guess he's not so shy after all! We finally broke apart.
"Hey Jake? I have a question." I said, looking at the snow covered ground.
"Yea?"
"Does this mean we're going out now?" He pulled me into another kiss. I'll take that as a yes!

----------Later In Jake & Oliver's Room----------
"So the concert was that good huh?" Oliver said, crawling into bed.
"Yea. Me and Miley had a great time...dude, she's just so...I don't know. There's not a word to describe how much I like her!" Jake said. Then his phone started ringing.
"Hello? Oh, hey Bill." (A/N: Bill is Jake's manager dude, lol)
"Jakey Jakey Jakey big news!" Bill screamed into the phone. Jake held the phone away from his ear. "That movie, The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It? YOU GOT THE PART! You fly to Texas to begin shooting tomorrow!"
"WHOA, whoa, whoa! Tomorrow?" Jake said nervously. What about Miley?
"Yea, a car will come get you in Colorado and take you to the airport! Ain't it exciting?"
"Yea...it's something. Look, I gotta go."
"Alright Jakey be ready, we'll get you at 3 in the afternoon!" Then he hung up.
"What was that all about?" Oliver asked.
"My manager. I got the part in The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It." Jake said sadly.
"Dude that's awesome! Why are you so bummed then?"
"Because I leave at 3 tomorrow and will be gone for months again...I have to leave Miley. After we finally got together..." Jake said, falling over on the bed.
"Dude that sucks. She's not gonna take it well."
"Shut up!" Jake said, throwing a pillow at Oliver. "I know. There's nothing I can do though..." He looked at the clock, noticing it was 10. "Well, I guess I have to go tell her." He picked up the hotel phone and called Miley's room.
----------Miley & Lilly's Room----------
Miley's P.O.V.
RING RING! Went the hotel phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Miley...it's Jake. Look, can you meet me down in the lobby?"
"Yea sure of course. Be there in a minute."
"Okay, bye." Then we hung up. Hmm, wonder what's wrong?
I went downstairs and saw Jake already there, pacing by the fireplace. I went and sat on the ledge of the fireplace by him. He kissed me hello softly.
"So...what did you want to meet me for?" I said.
"Well...it's, kind of hard to say. But I have to sometime sooo...I got the part to The Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It."
"Jake, what are you talking about that's great!"
"Well...not exactly." He took my hand, "I have to leave tomorrow at 3 to catch a plane to Texas to film. I'm really sorry Miley."
"...Ohhh." I took my hand back and ran to the elevator to go back upstairs so Jake wouldn't see my tears.
"MILEY, WAIT!" Jake yelled to me, but I just couldn't.
----------Later In Lilly & Miley's Room----------
Miley's P.O.V.
I'd stopped crying since Lilly was cheering me up by telling about how Oliver took her on a horse drawn sleigh ride, but I was still really upset. Jake kept calling over and over, but it would just make me feel worse to answer.
"I'm gonna go get some hot chocolate and sit down there and think a while. I'll be back up later. You want anything?" I said, getting up.
"Nahh, I'm fine. I think I'm gonna go ahead and go to sleep though." Lilly said, getting in her bed.
"Alright, well I'll be back later. Nighty night!" I walked out the room and locked the door. I finally got downstairs then went to the Café. Hmm, that scraggly looking guy from the desk is working here. Well, then who's working the desk? I turned around and saw a sleeping teenager who was supposed to be working there. The scraggly guy was turned around, watching Larry The Cable Guy on T.V.
"Uh, excuse me? I need some hot chocolate please." I said, tapping my nails on the counter. The scraggly guy turned around.
"MILEY?!" The man said in surprise.
"UNCLE EARL?!" I said, shocked.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Haha, bet you weren't expecting that huh? Okay so here's the deal. I have camp all next week, but when I get back on Friday I'll try to update then. THEN the next week I have camp again. Two weeks in a row. So I'll try to update in between.
Will Miley forgive Jake? Will Jake leave? And what the heck is Uncle Earl doing at Frosted Fantasy? Find all this out in the next chapter!
