Chapter 4
Trusting Arguments
It had been a few days since the incident between Jake and I and I haven't talked to him ever since then. He got mad at me just because I said Matt's name instead of his. Why did he have to get so angry? He knows what I've been going through so he shouldn't be too disappointed.
I was sitting in the living room with Lilly, watching TV when she explained to me that it only took time before Jake comes around and starts to talk to me. I know I shouldn't be thinking too much of it, but it really hurts not being with him, especially when Matt's coming out of jail anytime this week.
"Miley, just relax a little, your dad has this sorted out! Matt cant get within 50 feet of this house, you, Jake, or Luann." Lilly reassured me and I sighed.
"But what about you?" I glanced at her and she leaned back into the couch, setting her legs on the coffee table.
"I'll kick his ass if he abducts me or something. I can take care of myself, it's you who wont be able to."
"And what makes you think I cant?" I raised my eyebrows. "I could kick ass too!" I exclaimed, but Lilly doubled up with laughter.
"Yeah right Miley." She patted my shoulder. "You can always believe that you could." She shook her head and continued on laughing.
"Stop laughing at me." I pouted and lightly pushed Lilly. "Anyway, what should about the problem I have with Jake?"
"I don't know why you're stressing over it, just relax and forget about it! It will get better!" Lilly groaned showing that she was irritated by me continuously changing the subject to Jake.
It's not my fault! I mean, I'm a girlfriend who cares about her boyfriend! I just never saw him so pissed off like that in my life. It makes me sad.
"I cant! With Jake not talking to me, it's like nothing really matters."
"You cant depend on Jake all your life even if you did that for the past few years. We're seniors now, we're graduating in June, just relax!" Lilly shouted.
"But what if I cant?" I asked and Lilly rolled her eyes.
"Then you have a lot to worry about by the end of this term."
I sighed and watched Lilly stuff her face with popcorn. She was right though. We have so many projects, we have finals, and we have so much to do before the term is over. Gosh, I cant believe I'm a senior. Ugh, this is so weird.
"I sound like a helpless puppy, don't I?" I frowned.
"Not really, maybe a puppy yeah, but a helpless puppy no." She laughed and lay down on the couch, placing her head on my lap.
"Thanks a lot Lilly; you've definitely made me feel better." I rolled my eyes.
"It's not a problem, just showing some love." Lilly said and stuck her tongue at me while flinging a piece of popcorn at my face.

In a sunlit room stood a tall dark and rugged looking figure shuffling around, packing for his things. He ran his long big hands through his thick and tangled dark hair, looking for the one thing he kept in a hidden spot somewhere in the room. Instantly he went to the ground and looked under his bed.
Not really his bed, but his cell bed.
Stuck in a cell for about three years has been hectic for him. He couldn't do anything and he tried his best to not fight with his inmate roommate for being so idiotic. He got to where he wanted to be and he was happy. In just a few hours, he will be setting out back into the real world and he knew that this all this acting nice finally paid off once he broke free.
He heard a door slam and instantly removed his hands from under his bed and back to his package, pretending to shove something inside of it.
"Winston, you ready to go?" He heard someone say, most likely a security guard.
Matt casually looked over his shoulder and shook his head. "Soon."
The security guard nodded and said, "I'll be back in ten, you better be ready by then." and with that he left Matt in his jail cell, back to wherever he came from.
Matt instantly went back to under his bed, rummaging through his belongings under there. He finally reached for whatever he was looking for and pulled it out, smiling in satisfaction.
"Finally." He said and pressed it against his chest. He took in a deep breath feeling relief come around him and rubbed the picture.
He then lifted it up from his chest and lifted it to his eyes, looking straight at it. It was a picture of a familiar looking brunette looking like her usual smiling self.
"We'll be reunited once again my love." He whispered before slipping the picture into his package.
---------------------
I was waking to Freddy's house because I needed to talk to Freddy himself about my problem. It seems like he's the only guys I can talk to about this. He's been such a caring and cool friend and we've became so close over the years. He's the only one I can turn to right now.
I stood outside of his apartment he shared with Aimee and knocked on the door. I heard Freddy say hold on and I waited while he took his time. When he finally came to open the door, I wrapped my arms around him.
"Freddy!" I said and he moved back into the apartment.
"Whoa, Miley, what's going on?" He asked as he patted my back.
I smiled. "I just wanted to come and talk to you!" I exclaimed and happily walked into the apartment and dropped to the couch. The room looked pretty nice and was average sized. There wasn't much in it, just a couch, a TV a coffee table and some pictures on the walls.
"Where's Aimee?" I asked and he shrugged walking over and sat next to me.
"She took Jason to her mother's house. She wants a visit from Jason for a long time, but she doesn't really like me so I didn't go." He sighed and leaned back into the couch turning on the TV to the news.
"Boy, you must watch the news a lot." I said and he chuckled.
"Yeah, I like the news." He turned to me and inched closer to me. "So what's up, I know for sure you just don't go to random people's house and say, 'I just wanted to come and talk to you'!" He mimicked the say I said it to him while placing both his palms together.
I chuckled. "God, you're so weird." I shook my head and stood up from the seat. I made my way toward his CD case and looked through the CD's and DVD's. "I'm just…" I sighed. "Feeling crappy."
"What happened Miley? You know you can talk to me." Freddy said and soon felt his hands go to my shoulder.
I tensed up a bit because I didn't even hear him come up behind me, but I guess this will have to do. I relaxed and turned around and faced him. "Well, remember last week when you came over to the house and were freaking out about Matt and stuff?" I asked and he nodded.
"Well, when you and Aimee told us we had to relax, well while relaxing, I kinda pictured matt doing all the things Matt did to me while Jake was doing it." I said.
Freddy shuddered and twitched his neck as soon as he heard that. He probably thinks it was stupid of me, but I can't stop it! It's like every single thing is bringing me back to think about Matt and its scary! If something as simple as kissing reminds me of Matt, then I'll probably turn a nun or something, I just can't deal with it.
"No wonder…" Freddy muttered under his breath and I raised my eyebrows, a little confused at why he said that.
"What's 'no wonder'?" I asked him and he shrugged.
"You're just too tense, think of how Jake feels when you said Matt's name, how would you feel if he said Luann's name while you and him were going at it."
I shook my head having a mental picture being drawn out. "Ew!" I smacked and shook my head trying to erase the distinct picture of my boyfriend and cousin together.
"I'm just saying put your shoes in Jake's, you would be devastated if he did that right?" He asked and crossed his arms while tapping his foot on the ground.
"Yeah." I sighed feeling even more said. "The thing is I didn't tell you that I said Matt's name when I told you my story."
He chuckled. "Oh haha." He turned away and headed for the couch. "Well it seemed like a logical explanation to why Jake would react that way." Freddy sat down and picked up a magazine pretending to be occupied toward it.
"Freddy, do you know something?" I asked making my way toward him. I sat on the couch, sitting on my leg and eyed him.
He fidgeted his feet while reading the magazine and he laughed. "Come on Miley, this is your confession time, just say what's on your mind." He asked and I shrugged.
"Fine." I muttered, letting the 'say name' issue slide. I still don't get how he knew that when only Jake and I did. "I'm just worried. I mean, Lilly and Jake and Luann and everyone else, they just seem to be on my case every single day asking me if I'm okay with it. I am okay with it, I mean seriously!" I huffed. "It's like they're making me seem like a person who needs back up every single time of the day and it's stupid!"
"Wait, did you come here alone?" He asked while tilting his head.
"Yes! Did you see anything bad happen to me? No. A few autographs and pictures while walking here and I'm fine!" I exclaimed and leaned back into the couch, lightly hitting my head against the wall.
"Miley, you should listen to them. I know it's been two years since you told the whole world you're Hannah Montana, but you don't know what else could happen to you. For all you know you…could…" He removed his eyes from me and lifted his head up with a shocked expression on his face.
I turned my head and saw a pair of feet. My eyes followed up his body and soon were greeted with faded blue pools.
"Jake." I softly said and soon shot up from the couch. "What are you doing here?" I asked and he stared at me.
"I'm staying with Freddy for now." He said and reached forward putting his hand on my arm. "Why can't you tell me anything? Is there something wrong with me?" He asked. He sounded hurt and confused. He didn't look so clean at all either. His hair was messy and distorted, his clothes looked dirty and screwed up, and his face just looked confused.
Did all this have to do with that one afternoon when I called for Matt's name instead of his?"
I couldn't help but wince. Jake looking and acting like this is just too much.
"What happened to you?" I asked and he shook his head.
"No Miley, answer me first, can you not trust me anymore? Is that why you have to go to other people for help instead of me?" He questioned. "Do I not mean anything to you anymore?" He asked but I continuously shook my head.
"No, Jake it's not like that at all, you have to understand-" I started but he let go of me and moved backward.
"What is it Miley? Am I really giving you a hard time just because Matt is coming back? Who knows what he'll do once he's out of jail, I mean come on you're not the only one that has to deal with it, and I almost died because of him!" He shouted.
"Jake, don't yell at me." I lowered my gaze and held myself. He's never yelled at me like this, never. Damn, this is just too much.
"How can I when my own girlfriend who I've been dating for what, the past four years cant even open up to me? That's just insane!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah well, if you didn't have-"
"Guy's shut up and look at the freaking TV!" Freddy shouted over my voice and we shot him a dirty look.
"Stay out of it!" Jake and I shouted in unison and continued out argument.
"You know what, if I was you I would pay close attention to what the fuck is going on the TV!" Freddy shouted, completely irritated over out stupid argument.
I rolled my eyes and looked at the stupid TV, but soon came to a halt once I noticed who was on the TV.
"Make it louder." I could hear Jake say and Freddy upped the volume.
No one was talking at this point, but there on the TV was Matt himself being walked out of the jail with his lawyer beside him.
A/N Sorry if it took me forever to update this, I've just had trouble, or like huge writers block.
Slight change in title…
I just need to know, who is still reading this?
Btw how would you feel if I wrote in 3rd person and at times Miley's POV? Next chapter would probably be in third and I need to know how you feel if I did that.
Excuses for not updating XP
