Final Good-Byes

Chapter 11

Jake spent his last two days in Malibu with Miley. They hung out non-stop, and Miley even started to help him pack up his room. Today, she was up in his room, and they were finishing up his packing.

"Jake! Come down here! Now." His mom yelled at him.

"Coming!" He yelled, then turned to Miley. "I'll be right back," He said, then kissed Miley on cheek.

Jake walked down stairs to see his mom sitting at the kitchen counter. It was the first time she had appeared to be sober in about a month. As he got closer, Jake noticed she was crying.

"Mom, what's wrong?" She didn't answer, just pulled me into a huge hug.

"Jakey, I am going to miss you, and I mean that." She whispered, still hugging. Jake started to tear up too. Although him and his mom hadn't been close recently, in the past they had a great relationship. Better than Jake and his dad's had ever been. It felt good to know that his mother still cared, despite how she had previously been acting.

"I'm going to miss you to Mom. I love you." He told her.

"Oh kid, I love you SO much. Don't forget that." Jake nodded, trying to hold in all the tears that had been building up. He had to stay strong. "Honey, what I had to tell you is that I can't be there tomorrow when you leave. I have a meeting with the divorce lawyers, and I just think it would be easier that way. I'm sorry." That was just like his mom, always avoid the hard things, even if their important. But Jake understood, he knew it would be really hard to watch an only son leave, and move out.

"Its okay mom." Jake reassured her then went back up to his room where Miley was waiting.

He closed the door once he got inside the room. "Sorry about that." He told her.

"Oh its fine, but are you okay?" Miley asked, seeing he looked as if he had been crying.

"I'm okay." Jake said. He pulled her into a hug, and they flopped onto the bed, laying down so they faced eachother. Each had their head propped up on their elbow.

"Can I come to the airport with you tomorrow?" Miley asked.

"Sure, if you want to." Jake answered.

"Well, I do." She said.

"Okay then, your coming." They both smiled.

The next morning, Miley awoke to her alarm clock singing. She had set it for 5:30 AM, since Jake was picking her up at 6:00. She didn't really care what she looked like this morning, it just didn't matter. Miley barely even wanted to get out of bed, because that meant that this days WAS going to happen, and she would have to deal with it. She didn't want to. After laying in bed for about 10 more minutes, she got up and threw on an old Sea View Middle school sweatshirt, and a pair of jeans. Not much later than that, Jake was knocking on Miley's front door, ready to go.

"Hey. You ready to go?" He asked her.

"Yeah," 'Ready as I'm ever gonna be for this...' Miley thought. Jake took her hand and they walked out to his car. It wasn't a limo, just a regular sized, really nice car. Driver included. The ride there was pretty quiet, probably because they were both tired. However, once they arrived at the airport, the realization hit them harder than ever. Jake was leaving. He was leaving his family, his life, and Miley. This sucked.

They walked into the airport, and Miley went in as far as the security officials would let her. Once they got to where they needed to be, Jake turned and looked at Miley.

"So, I guess this is it?" Miley asked, trying to hold in the tears as best as she could. Unfortunately, that wasn't working to well.

"This isn't it forever. Its just for now." Jake tried to lighten the mood.

"Promise you'll visit?" Miley made sure.

"Promise." Jake said. Miley stepped closer and wrapped her arms around Jake. Once he wrapped his arms around her, Miley felt completely safe. She never wanted him to let go. She knew once he would, she'd feel the emptiness that he'd leave her with. She'd realize Jake was gone. She didn't want any of these things to happen. Miley buried her head in his chest and started crying.

"Miley, don't cry. This isn't the end. I'll see you in no less than a month. I swear." Jake tried to comfort her. He stroked Miley's hair, but there wasn't much else he could do. He had to leave, no matter how much he didn't want to.

"Now boarding, Flight 893. Destination-New York City. Now boarding, Flight 893. Des-" The announcement repeated itself three times. 'SHUT UP' Miley thought. She was NOT in a good mood, at all.

Jake pulled away from their hug and wiped away Miley's tears. "I have to go now. I love you." Jake told her, then kissed her forehead.

"I love you too." She whispered as he walked away. Miley watched until he boarded the plane, then walked over to the window and watched the plane leave. She stood watching for a short period of time, then she felt someone come up behind her and put their hands on her shoulders. Someone also appeared behind her. She turned and saw Lilly to her side, figuring it was Oliver on her shoulders. He was now about a head taller than her.

"Come on, Miles. Lets go home." Lilly said quietly.

"How'd you guys know I was here and how'd you get here?" Miley asked.

"Your dad called. He was worried about you. And I drove." Oliver answered.

"Oh." Miley said, then walked with her shoulders slumped, out of the airport. Oliver and Lilly took Miley to the beach. They hung out there for a while then went and ate lunch at Rico's.

When Jake's plane landed in New York, he went down to baggage claim, grabbed his luggage, and then saw his dad waiting for him.

"Come on, lets go Jake." His father said once Jake reached him. 'No hug? No I missed you Jake? Nothing?' Jake thought. Him and his dad hadn't ever had a good relationship but still, it was never this cold between them. Jake got in the car with his dad, and they drove the long, awkward drive back to his new house.
