The Things I Do For Love
I Snapped-We Need to Fix This
Jake ran after her, shooting Gabi and Troy a quick, undeserved dirty look. "Oliver, why was she crying?" Lily asked, confused.
"Isn't it kind of obvious?" Zeke asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there's a possibility that her boyfriend, who says he loves her, is cheating on her."
"No, there's not," Oliver said, sort of forcefully.
"Why isn't there?"
"You guys have no right to judge here! You know nothing about Miley, Jake, or Hannah."
"You're right," Sharpay said. They looked at her, in awe that Sharpay, would say something like that." "We don't know anything about them, except for minor details, but we can see that picture and how he acts around Hannah."
"They're friends!"
"Uh huh," they all said sarcastically.
Then, the hotel manager burst out. "Maddie!" he yelled at Sharpay. "There have been complaints about the noise down here and you're part of it!" thanks wolfwhisperer
"Uh, do I know you?"
"Don't give me that attitude! Plus, London wants you to walk Ivana."
"I'm really sorry, but I don't know you."
"Madeline Fitzpatrick!"
"Who is she?"
"Cody, a little help here!" Mr. Moseby asked the smart twin.
Cody walked in front of Sharpay. "She does look a lot like Maddie, I didn't notice because she was wearing her hair in that wacky style."
"What?" Mr. Moseby asked.
"Oh, this isn't Maddie, her name is Shar- something, she's with the visiting kids from New Mexico."
"Sharpay Evans, future actress."
"Oh well, I'm very sorry Ms. Evans, carry on and please try and keep the noise down."
"Will do Mr……"
"Moseby, Mr. Moseby. I'll be going now," he said walking away.
"I feel awful," Gabriella said.
"Why?"
"I may have just ruined their relationship by opening my mouth, it might not even be true."
"Or it might be."
"Yeah, but if it was, I would feel so guilty."
"Well, if he did cheat on her with Hannah, it wouldn't be your fault."
"He's right, uhh…? Aunt Dolly asked.
"Gabriella, you can call me Gabi."
"He's right Gabi, if they did break up, then it definitely wouldn't be your fault, but I highly doubt they did. For the short time that I've known that boy, I can see how much he loves her, and trust me, he didn't cheat on her, especially not with Hannah Montana."
"Yeah, but, if they did, I don't know if I could ever…"
"It's ok Gabriella," Troy said, hugging her. "It'll be fine." Just then, two people walked up.
While That Was Happening:
Jake ran after her, shooting Gabi and Troy a quick, undeserved dirty look. He missed her elevator, but got on the next one. When he reached her room, the door was wide open. He went in a closed the door. He heard sobbing coming from the bedroom.
This is strange. Miley really isn't a cryer. I mean, this isn't even real. Something must be really wrong.
He entered the bedroom (don't get any ideas) and saw her sitting against the wall, a couple of tears coming down her face. He went over to her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. It took a couple minutes until he got her calmed down, he had to ask. "What's wrong?"
"Honestly Jake, I have no idea."
"What?"
"I really don't know, it was just all this talk about cheating…and I don't know, it made me snap.."
"Miles, you know I would never do that to you."
"I know, it's not just that…it's everything."
"What is everything?"
"You really want to know?"
"Yeah, spill.
(… means sob) "Ok, so like I said, this talk about cheating really scared me. I mean really scared me. Like…how they were saying it was possible…I freaked out…I broke down inside. I snapped. It's not me at all, I know. It just…got to me."
"I understand, but I promise you, I would never do anything like that to you, I love you too much, but there's more, I know it, so continue."
"You want to know why I want to get troy and Gabi together so badly?"
"Why?"
"Because I know what they're feeling."
"What do you mean?"
"Jake I tried so hard to convince myself that I didn't like you because of something that wasn't true."
"Huh?"
"I thought you were an egomaniac jerk, it turns out you were an egomaniac, but not a jerk, you were really sweet."
"What does this have to do with Troy and Gabi?"
"They're also trying to convince themselves they don't like each other, because of something that isn't true, they think the other doesn't like them, which isn't true."
"I see what you mean, you don't want them to have to miss out on happiness because of something that isn't true."
"Exactly."
"What does this have to do with you crying?"
"I don't know, it's just, it would've sucked for me to have not been with you, and the thought of it is kinda weird and scary."
"Oh."
"And then there's the obvious one, it scares me that they are kind of close to finding out my secret, I mean, my life may crumble if they found out and told someone."
"Or they could be good friends and never tell anybody?"
"Can't take that risk."
"Probably not."
"No."
"Ok, one more question," Jake said. "Who are you and what have you done with Miley Stewart?"
"What do you mean?"
"Miley, it's not like you to go and talk about your feelings and stuff like that, don't get me wrong, I'm glad you did, it just, sounds odd coming from you."
"I see what you mean, I'm gonna shut up now, just as long as you do too."
"There's my girlfriend!" Miley laughed.
"You know, we probably have to go and talk to them now."
"Yeah, I guess."
They walked to the elevator. When they got in, Jake said, "I need an excuse for that picture."
"Just say something believable, don't say it wasn't you and Hannah, cuz that'll never work."
"Alright."
They walked toward the restaurant. When they got there, they saw Troy and Gabi hugging. They smiled and let them have their moment. Gabi looked noticeably shaken and Miley felt a wave of guilt come over her. They really didn't do anything wrong, their suspicions were not only understandable, but partly true.
"Uhh, I hate to break the perfect moment here, but I'm really really tired, so, can we just get this apology show on the road?" Miley asked.
Everyone laughed and turned to face them. "Guys, I'm really sorry for bursting out at you like that, I had some other things on my mind and well… I took it out on you."
"We're sorry too, we had no right to say anything we did," Gabi said.
They avoided the 'cheating' thing because they didn't want to have to talk about it. "So,we're ok?" Miley asked.
"Yeah," Gabi said as her and Miley hugged.
"Wow, she's a keeper," Taylor said. They looked at her questioningly. "I mean, Miley isn't just some bimbo who wants your money, she actually seems to… care."
They continued to laugh and talk for about another 10 minutes until they went to their different floors.
Jake, Miley, Lily, and Oliver all went to the girls' room to talk about what they couldn't talk about in front of them.
"Oh god," Miley said flopping down on the couch. "We have two problems."
"What?"
"1. They still think Jake's a cheating jerk, I can tell. 2. Troy and Gabi still aren't together."
"What are we gonna do?"
"Fix this, we need to fix this."
