Chapter 13

The Concert

As Jake rode on his bike, I just sat there a little afraid. He was going so fast and I felt like I was about to fall since, well, he was peddling fast.

"Jake, slow down." I said and he just got faster.

"The faster I peddle, the faster we get to the place." He replied dully and I turned my head so that I could see him.

"Where are we going? You know I'm going to get killed if my dad found out that I just walked out on Mrs. Rodrigues class. And what place are you talking about?"

"The place… and can you, for once, not care about other people right now? It seems like the only think you do is care about what other people think. You have to get a grip and just forget about it!" Jake exclaimed.

I quieted down and relaxed after Jake said that. I never really thought of it but I really did act like that.

Within the next few minutes, we reached our destination. It was the place. As in suicidal/rape place. Jake's stupid thinking place.

"I don't want to be here" I sad as I got off his bike. He set it down and took my arm, forcefully pulling me toward the entrance of the place.

"I don't care anymore. We have to talk and it seems like this is the only place I could think of to talk." He said and kept on walking. We continued to walk and all these unwanted memories began to flood back into me. Soon we reached the area near the cliff and I looked down, remembering when I had thought Jake had fallen off.

I shook my head and went back to a tree. I sat down under it and Jake followed me, sitting next to me.

"Why is it you bring me here when we both know that this place is just too horrible for us?" I asked and he closed his eyes, leaning back into the tree.

"I don't know. It just calms me down, which is why I ended up coming here that night when I went on that date with Luann. Then that day I saw you and Freddy, I came up here and Oliver followed me. We just talked and we got a lot out that day, which is why I brought you out here. Miley, what the hell is going on between you and Freddy?" Jake asked.

I put my hand over his and shook my head.

"All Freddy and I have is an innocent friendship. Like I said, he's just a good friend. We weren't fooling around like you thought." I said and he nodded.

"That's all I needed. Sorry." He shook his head and looked at me, lightly kissing my cheek.

"It's okay; just tell me, what's on your mind? You just seem to be going through a lot of stress lately." I asked, and started to play with his fingers. He looked at our hands and sighed.

"I guess, well, my parents are going through a divorce, which explains why my dad is so distant from the family. You're probably thinking; wow Jake's so emo lately, what's up with him?" He chuckled and put his head on my shoulder.

"Wow, that's-"

"You don't need to say anything. I just figured you know? I'm trying to forget it, I saw it coming. I just thought that maybe it would just play out smoothly." He glanced at his watch for a moment and then looked back at me. "Anyway, we should probably go back, you don't want Mrs. Rodrigues to get completely pissed."

"Nah lets just stay. My dad would understand." I said and kissed his forehead.

"Okay." He snuggled into me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder pulling me close.

"Well, that was a quick make up." I said and he laughed.

"Like I said, this place is a good place to talk." He laughed and kissed me.

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

The next day, everything went back to normal. It was weird in how fast Jake recovered by that one night, but yeah; I guess all he needed was a hug.

It's Saturday and I had rehearsal before my actual concert tonight. Jake, Oliver, and Lilly were all coming tonight and I haven't thought of it, but has been a while since I last hung out with them all together. Luann had a date tonight so she was going with her date and it's with her tutor guy too.

I'm standing here on stage after some intense rehearsal with my dancers. I really needed to make this perfect.

"So tonight you have that fan of yours that won backstage passes from your fan club coming tonight" Dad said and I nodded handing him my microphone.

"Yeah, I remember."

"Are you going to sing any more songs from your older album before I give the final sheet to the band?"

"Nope." I walked to a table that had bottles of water on it.

"Miles, so 7 songs tonight?" Dad asked me and I nodded.

"Yeah, 7 songs. Who's my opening act?" I asked as I gulped down a bottle of water.

"Some new girl, I don't remember her name. She's going for 5 songs tonight with her new album. She's pretty good, though she's slightly older than you." He took the bottle from me once I finished it.

"By how many years?" I asked and sat down at a near by chair.

"6 years." He laughed and my jaw dropped.

I disliked having an opening act that's older than me for some reason. It just made me feel too young, but whatever, I needed this.

"Whatever helps my career." I said and he hugged me.

"Okay good. Just don't worry. Even if she is a whole lot older than you, don't worry about it." He smiled, kissing my cheek before leaving. Oh boy, tonight is going to be interesting.

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

I had about an hour before I had to go on, but the concert had just started. I stayed in my dressing room so that I didn't need to meet the new girl. I could just listen to the songs she sang playing since it does get loud back here.

Jake, Oliver, and Lilly were all running late, so they just decided to meet up with me after the concert, which is pretty good since I would normally get nervous with all of them back here.

The new girl finally started to sing, an upbeat fast song which sounded really fun. I found myself bobbing to the song a few times, but then stopped when I remembered that I had to think of my own stuff to sing.

Within the hour, she finished singing about 4 songs. They were all great, especially the slow songs. Then, a familiar beat started to play, one I've always listened to for the past 7 months. I listened intently, wanting to know if it is the song that I always listened to, and soon found out that it was after hearing the chorus.

I quickly walked out of my dressing room and onto the side of the stage where I could clearly hear and see the girl singing. She's a cute petite blonde haired girl wearing a blue dress that ended at her mid thighs. She really didn't look the age dad said she was. She looked pretty young.

I just stood there, staring at the girl and soon found myself singing along with the song.

We'll be together so don't ever
Stop listening to your heart
Cuz I can't turn mine up
Oohhh oh yeah, yeah
(We'll be together come whatever, come whatever, come whatever, come whatever)
Ahh ohhh

I'm not alone
Even when we're apart I feel you

She bowed and everyone erupted in clapping and screaming.

'I have to admit, she is amazing. Maybe I should've actually gone and met this person before she went on.' I thought to myself as I stood there waiting to hear her final song.

"Thank you everyone, I would like to thank Hannah Montana and everyone at the Grand Center here tonight. This is going to be my last song for the night. I hope you enjoy." She smiled and the lights dimmed, with only one spot light that hung above the girl.

Soon she started to sing, but with so much passion in her voice. The song isn't too perky, isn't too slow, it's just perfect.

I could feel myself getting lost in this song. I don't know, but it just took a big effect on me.

Even if I was listening to her sing, I could hear my name through the intercom for me to get ready. I'm already ready so I just decided to stay there and listen to this girl sing.

The song then ended and everyone clapped. I watched the girl, as she walked toward this end of the stage. She saw me and smiled.

"You were great." I said to her as she got closer.

"Thanks." She smiled and hugged me. "Good luck with the crowd it's a big one tonight." She said as soon as she let go of me.

"Thanks, by the way, what was that last song called that you just sang?" I asked and she told me.

"Yeah, I'll give you a copy of my album if you want." She said and I nodded.

"Sure, well, I better get on." I said and she nodded.

"See you later." She walked off and I watched her.

A microphone was suddenly handed to me and someone pushed me on stage.

"What?" I looked behind me and my dad was telling me to go on. I was a bit side tracked, practically forgetting I had to go on, but seeing the crowd made me feel excited all over again.

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

After the concert, I went to my dressing room and found Oliver, Lilly, and Jake there. Oliver and Lilly in their disguises of course

"Hey y'all, how'd you get in here?" I asked just before pecking Jake on the lips.

"Well, your dad of course." Lilly said.

"Who was that girl singing before you?" Oliver asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know, I haven't really introduced myself to her yet." I said and heard a light knock come from my door.

I walked over to it and opened it, revealing…

"Freddy?" I whispered and he held a back stage pass.

"Hi, I'm your biggest fan and I got this ticket from your fan club!" He said and waved the backstage pass in front of my face.

I looked behind me and saw that Jake had looked the other way. Jake hated Freddy by now. I guess it's the whole thing that happened on Wednesday that made him hate Freddy.

"Hey." I said and stepped aside letting him in my dressing room. My dad mentioned something about a person coming to see me, but I didn't know that it was Freddy.

"Jake, what are you doing here?" He said once he noticed Jake.

"Just supporting my friend, you know. Miley's home feeling a little sick and… uhh… Hannah here really needed me tonight." Jake nodded and Freddy formed an O with his mouth.

"Okay." He said and soon he went back to me. He babbled on and on about how big of a fan he is and how much he loved my singing. One thing that caught my attention was when he mentioned about his friend sounding exactly like me whenever she sang home alone.

After about 30 minutes of Freddy's visit, I have him an autographed shirt, CD, and a poster. He seemed completely happy when he got them, but I had to call security to get him out because he just didn't want to leave.

"Finally." Lilly exclaimed once we sat there alone.

"Yeah, I know, he's so weird." I said and jumped on my couch, sitting down.

"You were amazing tonight Miley." Jake said, sitting on the arm rest beside me. He put his hand on my head and messed up my wig when he tried to run his fingers through my hair.

"Yeah, well, I'm always amazing." I joked and heard another knock at the door.

"Ugh, make them go away." I sighed and was about to stand when Jake pushed me back down at my seat.

"I'll get it." He said and opened my door.

"Hey, uh, you're Jake Ryan!" I could hear a girl squeal.

"Yeah… and you are?" He asked.

"I'm a big fan, that's who I am." She joked and then said. "I'm here to give Hannah something. Is she in?" She asked and I stood up. I looked at the door and saw that girl that was singing before me.

"Oh hey." I walked over to the door and she smiled.

"Here's my album. Have fun with it!" She said and I nodded.

"Thanks. You're really talented. How do you write that one song you sang tonight, the last one? I wouldn't be able to let out so much emotion into one song to everyone. I have to always be serious when I sing in front of a crowd." I asked and Jake looked at me. He soon left my side and sat down on the couch. I shrugged and looked at the girl.

"Well, its how I felt. It's self explanatory so it's kinda like a come out song." She heard her name be called from the intercom about her limo arriving.

"Well, I have to go. If you ever need someone to talk to, your manager has my number." She said and waved as she left.

"Bye Ashley." I said and closed the door behind me.

Maybe I would call her later on, when I know that I'm ready to let it all out.

A/N okay, so like yeah, hope you like this update. Took me about an hour or two to write. Kinda shocking since it usually takes me forever in a year to write a chapter.

Who knows what the last song that girl sang? LOL. I think people who have AT's album would know and I don't really want you all to know since.. Yeah. Not We'll Be Together, but the song Miley was getting into lol. I can't say it now, but you'll know at the end of this fic lol.

And Omg I went to an Evanescence concert last night and it was effing awesome. Seriously best bday present my sis gave me lol. I was so close to the stage, like, second row to the stage, like we had floor tickets. The concert I went to is going to be on iTunes. Anyway, I'm going home from my trip today, which means, I could update like even more lol since I get home since it is spring break.
