Hey guys, I know I said this last chapter but I'm sorry for the lengthy update.
I have tech and a lot of work at the mo so it's just finding time to write.
I finish my course soon, so I should have plenty of time for quicker updates after that.
Thanks to everyone for sticking with me.
Warning: More major Jake bashing.
I'm happy with the ending… as you've gathered I just plain don't like Jake Ryan.
He he.
Anyway enough of my rambling…
On with the story, hope you enjoy this chapter… Harsh Reality
Oliver's mussing:
I don't know how I survived the night.
The only thing that kept me going was imaging if my life was a fairytale and I was a rich billionaire with Miley by my side in a bikini and Jake was devoured by our pet Dragon.
Heck a guy can dream, because with dreams anything is possible.
But then dreams only last so long and eventually you have to wake up to the cruel world that is reality.
Reality; where the love of my life dates a selfish jerk.
Curse him!
Reality sucks doesn't it?
Especially if the reality you live in has someone like Jake Ryan.
Miley's P.O.V:
I'm glad Oliver rung me last night, I was worried he would forget.
Oliver's a great guy but he always gets too distracted, at the moment he does have a good reason.
I hope that Jake and Oliver can learn to like each other because I just can't choose between them if that came up.
At least Oliver said sorry, he means well.
I guess I better find him a special lady so he's not always worried about me…
It's weird that he is though… unless he likes me?
No; that's not possible…
Oliver doesn't like me.
Actually the question should be why do I care? Because I don't care, I'm not getting sort of excited at the possibility.
Oliver and I would be like Lilly and Jake, it wouldn't work…
Or would it?
Normal P.O.V:
Oliver found himself back at Miley's at about Eight-twenty.
He was hoping to not be integrated by Robbie and Jackson as he had enough questions thrown at him yesterday and he definitely didn't need any more.
Oliver knocked and walked in once told to by Jackson.
"Hey Oliver" Lilly said, once he had walked in.
"Are you ready, because I've had breakfast" Oliver stated.
"Hi Lilly how are you? I'm good; thanks for asking Oliver" Lilly said.
Oliver and Jackson each gave Lilly a strange look.
"Well you'll have to wait a minute, I'm almost done ok, oh and thanks for ringing us last night. I didn't want to have to go through all that worry again" Lilly stated.
"Sorry mum" Oliver said sarcastically and plopped onto the couch.
Lilly shot him a mock glare.
"Hey guys I'm ready to go if you are" Miley announced as she walked into the room.
"Sheesh would everyone just give me five minutes" Lilly shrieked and grabbed her pancakes and stormed off to the back veranda to eat in peace.
"What did I do?" Miley asked, with a confused look.
"Don't worry, she just thinks we're rushing her" Jackson explained and went out where Lilly was.
Miley shrugged and walked over to where Oliver was trying to hide so Lilly wouldn't attack him.
"Hey" Miley said.
"Uh hey" Oliver answered and sat up.
"I'm pleased you called last night although all we talked about were movies, it was sort of awkward, don't know why" Miley said.
"Yeah neither" Oliver muttered.
"That's never happened throughout our friendship Oliver, have I done something, I mean you have been acting distant from me lately" Miley said.
"Um no reason, just a lot on my mind" Oliver mumbled.
Miley smirked; she leant over and knocked on his head.
"Just as I thought empty, now what's really going on" Miley stated.
"What is it a shock that I'm capable of thinking" Oliver spat.
He didn't mean to be harsh, he was just worried he would burst out about how he felt and he didn't need Miley laughing at him.
"Sorry I was kidding, I'm worried about you Ollie, we're friends and we should be able to talk. So tell me what's wrong" Miley pressed on.
Oliver blinked; he didn't know what to do.
Why was she so determined anyway, why couldn't she take no for an answer.
"Nothing ok, fucking hell just drop it" Oliver snapped.
"I'm sorry Oliver, as I said before I'm worried" Miley said.
"Well you would think the outburst at the carnival would be one thing that has been bothering me" Oliver snapped, he hated being rude but she wouldn't stop nagging.
"I know that but you've been like this before that, there's something else I know there is" Miley said.
"Oh that's right you know everything, fuck Miley can't you see I don't want to talk about It but you keep fucking nagging me. Get it through your head, there is nothing wrong" Oliver shouted.
"Oliver" Miley said in surprise, looking like she had been slapped.
"Hey what's going on?" Jackson asked, coming back in the room followed by Lilly.
"Nothing" Oliver snapped.
"Oliver by the way you're acting there must be something" Miley said, tears welling in her eyes.
Oliver softened, he didn't mean to make her so upset but the more she nagged. The closer he was to blurting out the truth.
"Miley please just leave it ok" Oliver stammered.
Miley got up and walked over; she grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"I'm here for you Oliver" Miley said.
Oliver felt his heat clench, she didn't know how much she affected him.
"I can't do this anymore" Oliver whispered, he wrenched his hand free and raced from the room.
"What did I do?" Miley asked, tears starting to trail down her check.
The door slamming echoed in her head and the words Oliver had spoken:
"I can't do this anymore"
What had he meant by that, do what anymore.
Miley was confused.
"Lilly, do you know something" Miley questioned, wiping her face.
"No" Lilly lied, knowing it was up to Oliver to tell her.
As much as it pained Lilly to see Oliver or Miley getting hurt, it just wasn't her place to say anything.
"Don't worry Miles, I'll chase after him and make him pay" Jackson said, puffing out his chest.
"Jackson, don't be an idiot. I'll talk to him at school, it was my fault anyway. I wouldn't stop nagging him, even though I could see he didn't want to talk" Miley said.
Jackson just nodded.
"Well I'll give you a ride now, Lilly finished her pancakes, finally" Jackson said.
"Hey" Lilly exclaimed.
Jackson just grinned and they all headed to school.
HM
Oliver slammed his locker shut; he was still in a foul mood.
But mostly at himself, he never wanted to cause Miley to be in any sort of pain.
Why couldn't he have just remained calm, instead of shouting like an idiot?
Well he would apologize when he saw her and hope she would forgive him.
Having Miley mad at him was the last thing he wanted.
"Hey loser" Jake stated, walking over to Oliver.
Oliver clenched his fists and walked on ahead to homeroom.
"Hey I was talking to you, it's rude to walk away" Jake yelled after him, mockingly.
"Eat shit and die Jake" Oliver snapped, not bothering to turn around.
He was a few more feet down the hall when suddenly someone jumped onto him, knocking him over.
He didn't even need to turn around; he already knew it was Jake.
"For fucks sake Jake, get off of me" Oliver snapped, trying to get up.
The person on him was light for a male though.
"So that's how you greet an old friend" a girl's voice rung out.
Oliver gasped, the girl got off him and he got to his feet and turned around.
"Serena" Oliver exclaimed when he realized who it was.
"Lollie I've missed you so much, it's been ages" she squealed and hugged him tightly.
"Ok Rena, first I hate that nickname and second…stop squeezing me" Oliver said, feeling his lungs getting squashed.
"Oh sorry" Serena said and pulled back, she smiled as she studied him.
"You look great"
"Thanks" Oliver answered.
"What brings you here, the last time I saw you was when you moved to New York because your dad wanted a new career atmosphere, man Lills is going to be stoked"
"Yeah he decided to move back, I start here today. I can't wait to see Lilly and Miley, you always talked about her in emails. Is she your girlfriend because you never told me" Serena said.
"Um no, I wish" Oliver muttered.
"Oh, tell your Sister Serena all about it" Serena stated, noticing Oliver's sudden sad look at the mention of not dating Miley.
"Uh" Oliver said.
The whole sister thing with him and Serena had started back in pre school, as she was about two months older then him plus he did count her and Lilly as his sisters, he had known them both since pre school.
"Come on, tell me or I'll tickle it out of you" Serena stated and launched forward.
Oliver jumped back, hugging his sides protectively.
"Ok, can you wait till break, I don't want a late slip and homeroom starts now" Oliver exclaimed.
"Alright sir, let's go" Serena said, Oliver rolled his eyes and walked off to homeroom with Serena following.
HM
"Where are we sitting" Serena said, looking around.
"There" he said, pointing to where Lilly, Miley and Jake the idiot were sitting.
"Oh yah, Lilly" Serena said.
She raced on ahead, Oliver followed with a small smile.
"Lilly" Serena squealed once she reached where Lilly was sitting.
"Um hi, who the heckers are you?" Lilly said.
"It's Rena, your old friend from Pre School" Serena answered.
"Ahhhh, oh my gosh, no way" Lilly squealed, causing most people to look over in surprise.
Lilly leapt up and embraced Serena tightly, with a big grin.
"Oliver, is this the girl you told me about? The one that moved to New York?" Miley asked.
Oliver nodded.
"Oh um Miles, I'm sorry about this morning" he said.
"Don't worry I shouldn't of keep pushing you" Miley stated.
"Let's forget it, if there was something wrong I would tell you" Oliver answered.
Miley smiled and nodded.
"Good" she stated.
"What are you two on about" Jake announced, taking his head phones from his ears, he had been listening to music and only just noticed Oliver and Serena's presence.
"Don't worry Jake" Miley said, rolling her eyes.
Jake sneered at Oliver and shoved his head phones back in and turned to face the window.
Oliver flipped him off after he had turned away.
"Miley this is Serena, the girl I told you about. She's the one that moved to New York" Lilly suddenly announced, walking over; her arm linked with Serena's.
"Hey" Miley stated, smiling warmly.
"Gosh you're as pretty as Oliver said" Serena stated, then gasped afterwards as if she had said something she wasn't supposed to.
"Serena fuck" Oliver said, his face growing hot.
Miley didn't dare look at Oliver; she didn't want to let on how tingly it made her feel to hear that comment.
It was confusing that she was feeling this way, she was with Jake.
Miley decided to just not worry about that.
"Sorry Oliver, um any way Miley let's start again. I'm Serena. Long time friends of Lilster and Lollie" Serena said and smiled.
Miley looked at Oliver who was going very red.
"Serena I don't like that nickname, we made it up when were five" Oliver said.
"Why Lollie?" Miley asked.
"Hmm don't know, it's what we made up" Lilly prompted.
"Hers is nicer, it's Rena"
Serena smiled.
"Yeah lucky her, I mean Lollie, come on" Oliver complained.
Serena giggled and ruffled his hair.
"You love it" she said.
"Sure" he muttered.
Miley grinned; she now had a nickname to use as a tactic for Oliver if she wanted answers.
Oliver played the 'Hannah' card.
Whenever she knew something and wouldn't tell him he would always say he wouldn't tell anyone she was Hannah If she told him what ever she knew.
It was annoying but often she gave in because she wouldn't want anyone finding out she was Hannah.
She knew he was joking, he was too nice a person to actually spill her secret but it didn't stop him from using the tactic.
Miley only gave in because he had a good puppy dog face and looked cute when he was pouting or nagging.
'Miley you have Jake'
Miley shock her head to rid of Oliver thoughts, she then realized Oliver was tapping her shoulder.
"Oi! Spacey?" he asked.
"Sorry, I was thinking about stuff" Miley said.
Oliver nodded.
"Just letting you know the teachers arrived" he said, sitting down.
Miley nodded, following suit.
She decided to clear her mind of Oliver, she could figure out why she was feeling like this later on.
HM
"Wow today has been a drag so far" Serena commented as they sat down at their table at lunchtime.
"Hey at least you had company in Classics, I'm on my lonesome in History" Oliver stated, as he opened his soda.
"Hey you chose that lame subject" Lilly said.
Oliver shrugged.
"Where's Miles and Jerk?" Oliver asked, sipping his drink.
"Off having fun probably" Lilly said, shrugging.
"Damn bastard" Oliver muttered, shoving his fork into his pasta.
"Oliver! Don't take your anger out on the pasta, what did it do to you" Serena joked.
Lilly looked at Serena.
"He likes Miley, no loves her" Lilly whispered.
Serena gasped.
"No way" she exclaimed.
"Yes way and I can hear you" Oliver snapped.
"Oh Sorry Lollie, I bet she will dump him, sure he's famous but he looks boring" Serena said.
Oliver chose to ignore the nickname and just shrugged.
"I wish" he muttered.
Meanwhile……….
"Jake, not here" Miley whispered as Jake put his hand up her skirt.
They were currently in an English classroom, which they had locked so they could have some fun.
"Well where then, we hardly have sex Miley, fuck I'd have better luck with a nun" Jake spat, pulling away.
"Fuck you" Miley snapped and headed over to the door.
Jake grabbed her roughly and slammed her, facing front on, onto a desk, he pulled her head back.
He kissed her neck and placed one hand on her waist.
"Miley don't do this ok, make it easy on me. I would hate to end this because you wont fuck me enough" Jake stated, slipping the hand that had been resting on her stomach down into her skirt.
"Stop Jake" Miley said, pushing her elbow into his stomach.
He gasped, letting go from shock.
Miley raced over to the door, Jake followed and slammed her against the wall.
"Why are you fucking doing this?" he demanded.
"I make you bitch, you're nothing without me. Because you're my girlfriend people notice you"
"Don't be stupid, let go of me" Miley hissed.
Jake slammed his fist into the wall, inches next to Miley's head.
"Don't fuck with me, I am seriously this close to losing it" Jake snapped.
"Why are you doing this?" Miley asked, tears spilling down her cheeks.
"Oh fucking hell" Jake snapped.
"Shut up, you don't get it. I need sex, I'm a male. I can't last on one fuck every now and then"
"So that's all you care about, sex" Miley whimpered.
"What else is there?" Jake asked, looking baffled.
Miley felt her knees go slack.
"Oliver is right about you, you don't care about me. You just want me for the sake of having me" Miley said, tears rapidly increasing, soon turning into sobs.
Jake let go of her arms in disgust.
"Don't mention that loser's name around me" Jake spat.
"Oliver is my friend, unlike you he actually cares about me" Miley snapped and she stormed over to the door.
"We're over Jake; I've seen you for what you really are"
"Took you long enough" Jake sneered.
"Goodbye Jake" Miley said sadly.
She opened the door and quickly raced off.
Back in the lunchroom:
Oliver glanced at the door, hoping Miley and Jake might surface from kissing to come have lunch.
He didn't care about that smug git, he just missed seeing Miley's face and hearing her speak.
Man he had it bad.
"Oliver, are you on Earth or floating in Space where you usually reside" Lilly shouted.
Oliver glared at her.
"Sorry just wondering why Miley isn't back yet" Oliver stated.
"She'll be back soon Oliver, don't worry" Lilly said.
Jackson suddenly arrived, walling over to Lilly.
"Hey Lilly, want to come sit with Copper and I?" Jackson asked, he had arrived from Gym by the looks and smell of it.
"Geez invest in some deodorant" Serena snapped, wrinkling her nose.
"Who are you?" Jackson shot back rudely.
"I'm Serena, childhood friend of Oliver and Lilly, and you?" Serena retorted.
"Name's Jackson, I'm Miley's brother and Lilly's boyfriend" Jackson answered.
Lilly blinked, she had been gazing at Jackson.
"Did someone say my name" she said dully.
"Come on sweetie" Jackson said, grabbing her hand.
"Congrats Lilly, he's a hottie with bad body odor" Serena said.
Lilly ignored that and followed Jackson with a grin.
"You crack me up" Oliver stated once Lilly and Jackson had left.
"I know I crack myself up, and then put myself back together with tape" Serena said.
Oliver snickered.
"Oh Oaken, how you going, seen any clowns lately?" Ashley said as she walked past to go to the bins.
Amber snickered.
Oliver clenched his fists.
"Shut up Bimbo" he snapped.
"Aww are you gonna cry. Do the clowns make you scared Oliver, 'Oh no I'm Oliver and I like to get attention by pretending a clown molested me'" Amber mocked.
Ashley dropped her tray because she was laughing so hard.
Oliver stood up, kicking his chair back.
He walked over to Amber who just grinned.
Oliver stepped back and picked up his drink that he had opened but not drank and tossed the whole lot at Amber, also spraying Ashley in the process; who screamed loudly.
"You freak" Amber screamed, waving her hands over her shirt wildly.
"Well you're a fucking bitch and I'd rather be a freak then a bitch" Oliver snapped and shoved hard past her.
Serena glared at them and raced after Oliver.
Oliver slammed the cafeteria doors open and stormed down the hall; he didn't look where he was going and bumped into someone causing them both to fall over.
"Sorry" Oliver mumbled, standing up and bending down to the person he had knocked over.
They were sitting up in a daze.
"Miles" Oliver said.
Miley blew her hair out of her face and smiled sadly.
"Are you ok?" Oliver asked, noticing Miley's tear stained cheeks.
He instantly forgot his problems; he only wanted to help Miley.
"Not really, I dumped Jake. He used me for his benefits, mainly sex" Miley stammered, sobbing loudly.
Oliver refrained from commenting but instead hugged Miley to him.
"It's ok Miley, he's a jerk. You were way too good for him" Oliver said.
"That's what you always said, I should have listened to you" Miley stammered and wiped her eyes.
"Well the main thing is you're out of the relationship now, you don't need people like that in your life" Oliver stated.
Miley nodded, standing up and raking a hand through her hair.
"Oliver?" Serena stated, walking over.
"Yes" Oliver said, hoping she would leave so he could keep being with Miley.
"Can we talk?" Serena asked.
"I know what you're going to ask, it happened when I was ten at my first carnival, I blurted it out the other day, my parents don't even know" Oliver quickly said.
"Oh I didn't even know, I should I have known something was up, the way you acted towards clowns" Serena said; then she started sobbing.
Oliver raced over, giving her a hug.
"Don't do this Rena, don't treat me any differently. I'll talk to my parents when I can" Oliver said.
Serena nodded and wiped her face.
Miley walked over and grabbed Oliver's hand, squeezing it and giving him a small smile.
Oliver returned it, feeling better.
"You will tell your parents though?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, soon" he answered.
Miley smiled and let go of his hand, Oliver tried to not let on his disappointment.
"Let's just finish lunch and ignore those sluts" Serena said.
Oliver nodded.
He had to be brave, but only for Miley.
Everything was for her
HM
"What a long afternoon, I thought classes would never end" Serena complained as they headed out of the school after the last bell.
"Man would you quit complaining" Oliver retorted.
"Aw sorry Ollie" Serena said.
"Can I catch a ride with you guys?"
"Depends how far you live" Jackson asked, as they reached his car.
Lilly jumped in the front.
"Um on Spencer Street, number ten" Serena said.
"Really, that's the same street as us" Lilly said.
"Cool, let's go" Serena stated, jumping in the middle.
Oliver glared at her, as Miley was sitting next to him.
Serena grinned back.
A few minutes later…..
"Here we are, number ten" Jackson said, he had already dropped Lilly off.
Everyone had to wait for five minutes why he had kissed her by the door.
Miley had ended up reaching over the seat and tooting the horn.
"Thanks for the ride, see you tomorrow Ollie. I'll give you a ring tonight or something" Serena said.
Oliver waved; Jackson reversed the car out and then arrived at Oliver's, about five houses down.
"Thanks for the ride, see ya tomorrow Miles" Oliver yelled out.
Miley and Jackson waved; Oliver watched the car until it had disappeared from view.
He sighed turning around; he then stopped, noticing someone waiting by the door.
"Hello" he said, walking forward to see them better as they were wearing shades.
The person took their shades off and grinned, standing up and racing over, their long brown hair cascading behind them.
They stopped in front of him.
"Oliver, I'm back" they said.
"Becca" Oliver exclaimed in shock.
TBC………
