A/N: I'm sorry for not updating! I've just been stupidly lazy this past week plus a bunch of crud is going on with my school that has made me sort of depressed and not wanting to write. And no I will not go into what's going on with my school. Sort of personal ya' know?
Disclaimer: I do not own HM!! but i do however own, Kyle and Adam!
Jake looked at Miley as the tears rolled down her cheeks. He walked in and sat down on the bath tub and put a comforting hand on Miley. "Are you okay?" He asked her as he looked at the girl that he loved.
Miley nodded her head yes, then started to shake it no. "So, you're not okay?" Jake asked again.
"Yes, and no." Miley managed.
"Why?" Jake questioned in a quiet, comforting voice.
"Yes, because, he's out of my life... at least I think he is and no because..." Miley couldn't finish her statement before tears started to weld up in her eyes again.
Jake looked at the girl that he loved not knowing were she was going before she started to cry again. He looked at her. He noticed the swelling of her wrists and saw the bruises. Then it hit him.
"Miley?" He started, slowly, "Did he ever hit you?" He asked her.
Miley was silent. She didn't answer Jake.
"Miley, did he ever hit you?" Jake asked her again, this time, his voice being a bit more firm.
She was silent. "N- n-no," Miley stuttered, "He would just become angry at times and he would just get a little mad."
Jake's hatred for the guy grew inside of him even more once she said that. "Are you sure he never hit you?"
Miley looked down at her feet. Silence fell between the two friends. "Once." Miley whispered.
"What?" Jake asked. He knew what she meant but still couldn't believe it.
"He hit me once." She told Jake as the memories came back. "It was a month before you, Lilly, and Adam came to live with us." She continued. "That was the night I decided I wanted to get some roommates. I knew he wouldn't do anything with other's in the apartment."
"I'll kill him!" Jake barked with anger.
"Jake! No!" Miley protested, "No."
Jake looked at her. He saw the pain in her eyes. He sighed. "Fine," he gave in. "But we should have a doctor look at your wrists."
"No!" Miley protested again.
"Miley, you really need to get them checked out." Jake told her gently. "You know what? We can even do fake names if you want!" He suggested. "You can be Bonnie and I could be Clyde." He suggested jokingly.
Miley smiled at him. "Jake," She started. "Why did you pick criminals?"
Jake shrugged. "Come on, let's get to you a doctor."
Lilly pushed the familiar button off to the side of the door. She waited a few moments. Soon she heard small foot steps running towards the door followed by some heavier steps that weren't coming as fast. The door swung open and Kyle looked up and smiled at Lilly.
"Hey Kyle." She greeted him. "Hey." She said while looking up at Kyle's dad.
"Hey Lilly." Oliver replied. "So uh, what brings you here?" He asked as she entered his house.
"I was just in the neighborhood." She answered. "Adam asked me to marry him."
"Oh well that's great!" Oliver exclaimed with fake enthusiasm. "I'm sure you two will be very happy." He finished.
Lilly nodded sensing something wasn't right with Oliver. She brushed the thought away and looked at him. Silence fell between the three.
"Trevor came back to the apartment the other night." Lilly said breaking the silence. "He hurt Miley."
"What!?" Oliver exclaimed.
"He bruised both of her wrists. Jake called the cops on him later that night from the hospital against Miley's request." Lilly continued.
"The hospital!?" Oliver asked in shock.
"Well, don't jump to conclusions!" Lilly warned, "Jake was the one who made Miley go to the hospital! I mean, she would have probably been fine without going but Jake made her go as a precaution."
Oliver relaxed a bit after hearing that.
"I guess I should be going." Lilly said breaking the silence once again. "So, I guess I'll be seeing you around."
"Yeah. I'll uh see you around too." Oliver replied.
"Bye Kyle." Lilly told the little boy while giving him a hug.
Kyle smiled at her. He opened his mouth as if he was going to say something but closed it again and gave Lilly another hug.
Lilly walked out the door and closed it behind her.
Kyle ran off somewhere to play with his toys while Oliver walked into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and took out a beer. "I guess it just wasn't meant to be." He whispered to himself as he took a drink from the can only to wake up the next day with another hang over.
