Chapter 5: How Could This Happen To Me

Jake hadn't spoken to her since the party. Jake hadn't answered any of her phone calls. He refused to look at her when they were at school, and would always busy himself with something else whenever he saw her approaching.

Miley had begun to worry. Lilly assured her that she hadn't spotted Jake at the party until after Hannah and Ashley greeted Orlando where he entered the room gave her a feeble wave and right walked out again. Miley wasn't so sure about that. Ever since the party she had a feeling in her gut that something horrible was going to happen soon, and no matter what she did she couldn't shake the feeling off. It was the same feeling she had when her mother died.

Miley forced herself not to think much of it, even though she knew that it wasn't something that should be ignored. Lilly constantly reminded her that she should focus on something more important at the moment; which obviously was Jake.

Why Jake was avoiding her, Miley did not know. But she had a feeling Oliver did. Ever since Jake and returned from Antarctica, he and Oliver had become close friends. Every time she and Lilly would call Oliver to invite him over to watch a movie or something, he would inform them that he couldn't make it since he and Jake had other plans. But it seems to Miley that ever since Jake had started ignoring her, Oliver had too.

It had been 5 whole days since the party she had only spoke to Oliver twice. Once to thank him when he picked up a pencil she had flung across the room, in hopes of getting Jake's attention. The second being when he had given her a permission slip the teacher had asked him to give to Miley. Few words were exchanged at both encounters, much to Miley's disappointment. But it seemed that Oliver's absence had gotten a much larger toll on Lilly than her. Though Miley had expected it, after all Lilly and Oliver had been best friends since pre-school. And according to Lilly the two rarely fought at all.

Oliver hadn't been returning their phone calls either, something Jake refused to do as well. Miley called him a million times the day after the party, leaving him message after message asking if he wanted to hang out or wanting to know if she had done something to upset him and apologized if she did.

Lilly had been unreasonably quiet as well. She hated what was happening with Miley and Jake. Siding with her best friend, knowing she hadn't done anything wrong, she couldn't help but feel that Jake seen something. Although she would have never admitted to Miley, she knew that Jake had witnessed the encounter with Hannah and Nick. She hadn't seen him there when it had happened but she assumed. It was the only reasonable reason that Jake would be avoiding Miley. He was obviously upset, he did warn her to stop and she had promised too; and the position Hannah and Nick were in would have everyone asking whether the two were dating. He must have told Oliver about it, and Oliver decide to side with Jake.

Oliver. She had been thinking of him a lot lately. Lilly was so used to having him around all the time that his absence was bothering her. She didn't get why he was avoiding her though. He might have been mad at Miley because she hurt Jake, but Lilly hadn't done anything wrong. He certainly couldn't be upset with her because she had decided to take Miley's side, she had a right to chose just like he did, and it didn't seem like Oliver would get mad over that. Then again, it didn't seem like Oliver to ignore her or ever go against his best friends, she reminded herself.

Even though Oliver's non-attendance was bothering her, she tried not to show it. Although she was positive that Miley knew how Lilly felt about him not being there. After admitting to Miley that she liked Oliver, Miley began noticing a lot more things about her. Like the sad look she would get whenever she would see other girls flirt with Oliver and how she would want immediately leave the room when Oliver would start flirting back.

Like how Lilly would assure Miley about Jake, Miley did the same for Lilly about Oliver. Lilly would continuously fret over the simplest things now; ranging from her appearance, to her breath scent, to her voice, to her talents. When the two often hung out in Miley's bedroom or sat on her front porch, she would constantly ask Miley whether Oliver had decided to meet up with the waitress from the café. Miley would reassure her that Oliver wouldn't waste his time on a girl like her, when he knew that Lilly was available.

Even though she knew it wasn't necessarily true, Lilly enjoyed hearing it. Every time Miley would utter the sentence Lilly could feel herself smile. Whenever Miley would squeeze her shoulder when Oliver was approaching by them, or when she would comment on how great Lilly looked everyday, a surge of confidence would run through her. The confidence would meld into courage when she would remain wherever she was when she saw Oliver instead of turning away or leaving.

The two best friends relied on each other to help one another through the tough times, like best friends normally would.

"Jake wouldn't even look at me during math when Ms. Norman placed us in the same group. When I sat down next to him, he got up and moved to the other side to sit down next to Marcus and Lucas. I seriously am starting to think he saw the whole incident with Hannah and Nick Lil," Miley sighed as she pushed her lunch tray away from herself and placed her head in her arms.

Lilly rubbed her back comfortingly, as she glared at Becca Weller her was seated at Jake and Oliver's table across the room. She was flirting openly with him, even though Oliver showed little interest in her. "Oh Miles, he couldn't have, he wasn't there. I didn't see him—"

"Just because you haven't seen him doesn't mean that he wasn't there. He must have, Lilly. Why else would Jake be upset with me, besides that I haven't done anything wrong!" Miley cried as she flung her arms in the air. No one was paying any attention to them, so Lilly didn't even bother telling Miley to settle down.

"I don't know." Lilly shrugged. "But, let's say he did see Hannah and Nick's, er, intimate exchange? What would you do?"

Miley sigh loudly, "I have no idea. What can I do? He won't listen to me, and he isn't answering my phone calls. Every time I go over to his house to see him his mother tells me he isn't there or he isn't in the mood for seeing anyone. He won't even look at me Lilly!" Miley paused as she took a deep breath her eyes instantly filled with tears yet she continued softly. "What if…what if he wants to break-up with me Lilly?"

Lilly's eyes, that had been watching her jello jiggle on her tray, snapped up to meet Miley's watery blue ones. She grabbed Miley's shoulders before pulling her friend close to her. She rubbed her back as Miley cried. Lilly could feel her shirt getting wet, but she didn't mind. What on earth was Miley thinking? How could she say that?

"Miley, I'm telling you now, Jake is not going to break up with you. The boy loves you, Miley; he's in love with you. Look at how much he went through just to be able to explain everything to you again. I highly doubt he'd throw it all away, not over something so simple anyways."

Miley shook her head, pulling out of Lilly's embrace. She looked up into her friend's eyes trying desperately for Lilly to understand, "But Lilly this isn't some stupid little argument. I promised that I wouldn't flirt with him again, Lilly. I promised I wouldn't flirt and he saw me hugging him. When Nick kept asking what was wrong, his face was not even inches from mine. It was so close Lilly. Even I thought he was going to kiss me! If I thought it, surely Jake did too!"

"But Jake isn't an idiot!" She cried. "He knows how much you love him; he knows how much he means to you. He knows you wouldn't do something to hurt him intentionally."

Miley looked at her hands. "What if…What if he doesn't know how much I really love him?" She asked hesitantly, wringing her hands that were placed on her lap.

"Miley," Lilly grabbed Miley's arms forcing Miley to look up at Lilly. "Jake obviously knows how much he means to you. He knows that you love him more than anything because you took him back. If you didn't love him, if you didn't care Miley you wouldn't have forgiven him. You wouldn't have agreed too become his girlfriend again. You wouldn't have agreed to even stop Nick from flirting with you in the first place.

"But you did Miley. You took him back after he broke your heart twice. You forgave him after he hurt you over and over again. You agreed to get back together with him. You promised to ask Nick to stop flirting, and you're hurting because he isn't speaking to you. All of that shows how much you love him Miley. Everyone can see it; even the teacher's noticed it. Why do you think none of the girls try to flirt with Jake anymore; it's because they all know they don't stand a chance. They all understand that you both love each other. They all get that they don't stand a chance. Jake hasn't looked at another girl since you two have decide to go out again. He loves you Miley Stewart. You love him and he sure as hell knows it!"

Miley was speechless. Lilly had never been good at giving speeches, but that was by far one of the best pep-talks Miley has ever gotten. She didn't know Lilly had it in her, and she realized that Lilly was right. If Jake didn't know now that she loved him beyond what words could describe then he was an idiot. If everyone knew it, like Lilly said, then he would know too.

"Thanks Lilly." Miley gave her a small smile as she quickly hugged her friend and wiped excess tears that had leaked out of her eyes during Lilly's speech off her face. "I really needed to hear that."

"No problem, I really needed to say that." She grinned at Miley. Then, she stood up and dumped the remains of her lunch in the trash can next to her before grabbing Miley's hand. "Come on, we need to get you o the bathroom and fix up you make-up and hair. You don't look so well."

Miley nodded, she stood up and grabbed her bag as they both quickly walked towards the girl's bathroom.

--HMHMHM—

"What was that about?" Oliver asked Jake in a whisper as he nodded towards Miley and Lilly who were making their way to the bathroom. He glanced at Jake and saw him shrug. "Jake, dude, you did just see that right?"

He couldn't believe Jake would be so calm after seeing the whole exchange between Lilly and Miley. The two were seated away from their normal crowd of friends that lunch period, talking quietly. After seeing Miley start to cry twice during that conversation, he had expected to get at least some reaction out of Jake.

"Of course I just saw it." Jake answered as he glanced at the bathroom door just as a bunch of girls came out. He quickly scanned the herd and observed that Miley wasn't in it.

"And you aren't worried at all? Dude, how can you stay calm after you just saw you girlfriend burst into tears twice?!" He was beginning to get annoyed. He knew that Jake was upset with Miley, but he didn't understand why Jake was being so stony.

Jake glared at him. "Of course I'm worried! My girlfriend is sitting there crying over something and all I can do is sit here and watch her! What do you want me to do? Scream? Beat the crap out of who ever made her cry? I don't even know who did that to her."

"Well, for starters you can lose that tone with me. I was just saying." Oliver replied.

Jake's look softened. "I'm sorry, Oliver. I'm just so frustrated. I don't know what to do anymore! I am really mad at her for betraying me like that, and a part of me is telling me not to give in so fast. But another part of me wants to forget it happen and just forgive her. It wants me to through away my pain and comfort her, hold her, and just love her. But I can't."

"Why not," Oliver asked exasperated. "Just go over there and tell her why you're mad, she'll apologize, you'll accept it and you'll both live happily ever after!"

"It's not that simple Oliver, trust me. If it was, I would have had her back within 24 hours after the whole thing happened. But it isn't that easy." Jake answered turning his head back to the bathroom door.

"Why? Why isn't it that easy? Why won't you let Miley apologize?" Oliver questioned. He didn't understand. Jake obviously wanted Miley back, he wanted to forgive her so bad, so then why wouldn't he do it already?

"Because," Jake started slowly, as if he was talking to a five year old. "If I forgive her so easily she'll think it was okay that she did what she did. She'll assume it doesn't bother me that much, when it really does."

"Dude, if you forgive her now, I wouldn't call it 'giving in so easily'. You've been ignoring her for almost a week. She doesn't even know what she's done wrong. The least you could do is tell her why you're mad."

Jake just shook his head. Oliver didn't get it, the only way he could really show Miley how much it hurt to see her all over another guy is to give her a taste of her own medicine.

"You aren't seriously considering doing that plan thing you've got at the party tonight?" Oliver asked as though he could read his mind.

Jake shrugged. "Why shouldn't I? I hardly think its fair that she can be all over another guy, but I can't even look at another girl."

Oliver sighed as she ran his fingers through his hair. "All I'm saying is that you should at least get her side of the story. There is a chance that it wasn't what we thought it was. And if you don't feel like talking to Miley you could always ask Nick about it."

Jake shook his head, causing his hair to fall into his sea-green eyes. "Nick won't admit to anything. He knows how close Hannah and I are. He'll think I'm getting jealous and think they're something going on between me and Hannah."

"But isn't that what we want?" Oliver asked excitedly. He could see something coming from this. Jake gave him and odd look, so Oliver decided to continue. "If he gets the idea that you and Hannah are actually going out, he'll start to apologize—but only if something actually happened between the two of them that night."

Jake looked at Oliver, thinking about the idea. "No. It wasn't the first time she's done it. If I do what I have to do tonight, then she'll understand why I'm so upset."

"I don't know, man. I have a bad feeling about this." Oliver said as the bell went of, signalling that lunch was over and afternoon classes would soon begin.

Jake shrugged as they both stood up to throw away their garbage. "I know, but I have to do this Oliver. I don't know why, but I just need too. Okay?"

Oliver nodded, he knew how Jake felt. He had the same feeling overcome him when he flirted with girl right in front of Lilly every time.

--HMHMHM—

"Girls, come on, we're leaving now." Robbie Ray called up the stairs. A few minutes later, feet came running down the stairs, both girls came into a halt once they entered the living room before calmly making their way to the door.

Robbie Ray laughed. Hannah and Lola looked up at him oddly. "Why are you laughing?" Hannah asked her dad she ran her fingers through her hair. "Oh no, do I have something on my face?" She quickly pulled out her compact and checked her image in the mirror.

Robbie Ray shook his head, still smirking at the two girls. "OMG! I have something my face don't I? Did my make-up smudge?" Lola cried grabbing the compact from her friends hand and looking into it.

"No, no, no. Neither of you have anything on your faces; in fact you both look beautiful." Robbie Ray smiled, as he picked up his wallet.

Both girls beamed up at him. "Thanks." They said in unison.

Hannah twirled. She had on a pair of dark skinny jeans and a pink T-shirt that had a guitar on it, with "ROCK STAR" written across the middle. She had a black long-sleeved shirt on under it and a jacket over it. Her make up was more natural looking. She had light pink eye-shadow and a light-pink tinted lip-gloss. A simple charm bracelet was placed on her wrist and a silver heart shaped necklace rested on her shirt.

Lola stroked a pose. She had on a black mini-skirt with black leggings under it. She had a tight purple striped shirt that showed-off her curves. Tonight she had decided to wear her purple wig with a few black streaks in it. She had on a long beaded necklace that was folded around her neck and a clutter of dangling bracelets in both her wrists. Her lipstick was dark and she put on on violet eye shadow.

"We'd better get going," Robbie Ray said glancing at his watch. The three quickly made their way to the limo that was waiting for them in their driveway. Jackson was working tonight, so he couldn't make it to the party.

They climbed into the car and took their seats, buckling up their seat belts. Before long they were on their way, slowly cruising along an intersection. Hannah sat their fidgeting, she as nervous. Jake was expected to show up, according to Ashley Tisdale. It was Vanessa Hudgens second CD release and Ashley was throwing a party for her success, since the album did reach number one. Hannah was talking to her last night and Ashley let it slip that Jake Ryan RSVP-ed that he was in fact coming.

Nick Jonas was also going to be there to, which didn't help Hannah's nerves either, only making it much worse. The Jonas's are under the same label as Vanessa and were also close with her, so they were expected to come. After the incident that happened at the last party she attended, Hannah was practically sweating.

Lilly seemed to notice her friends discomfort, she quickly glanced up at Robbie Ray who was reading on article in the newspaper before turning to Hannah and grabbing her hands for the third time that afternoon. She leaned close and whispered: "Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen."

Hannah shook her head. "Something is going to happen, Lilly. I can feel it."

"You're just nervous, Miles. Everything will be great tonight. Who knows maybe Jake will talk to you." Lilly said trying to calm the pop-star down.

Hannah glared at her. "He's mad at me remember? He hadn't spoken to me for the past 5 days, why would he want to talk to me tonight?"

"Because, he's mad at Miley not Hannah," Lola smirked. Hannah rolled her eyes, but she couldn't help but smile. Lola sometimes had the most ridiculous way off seeing things.

"Just stop worrying. Nothing is going to happen." Lola whispered one last time as the limo lulled up to its destination.

--HMHMHM—

"Okay, everything is set." Jake told Oliver as the two were seated in the car. Jake had been invited to Vanessa Hudgens's CD release party an offered to take Oliver. He was disguised was Mike Standley III of course.

Mike rolled his eyes. "I cannot believe you're actually following through with this, Jake."

"I told you that I was ages ago. You knew I wasn't going to change my mind. This needs to be done. Besides, Noelle knows this won't mean anything. I asked for her help and she agreed." Jake said as he took a sip out of his water bottle.

"I told you, I don't think you should be doing this. This isn't going to resolve anything; it'll only make things worse." Oliver stated as he moved his wig around on his head.

"Things can't get any worse, dude." Jake informed him. Oliver sighed. He knew Jake wouldn't change his mind. So he let it go. But at the end of the night, he knew Jake would end up wishing he'd listened to him. He didn't know what going to happen, all he knew was that something would.

"We have arrived Mike and Jake," Jake's driver, Christopher, and elderly man with thin greying hair looked at them through the rear-view mirror. Jake nodded, and grasped the handle and opened the door. He turned around to address Christopher: "We'll call you when we're done, Chris. Don't worry; I don't think we'll be staying late. Thanks for the ride."

"Yea, thanks man." Mike smiled at Christopher before climbing out of the car and shutting the door behind him.

"You ready?" Jake asked as she straightened his jacket.

"Nope," Oliver shook his head, "But I don't think I'll ever be. Let's get this over with."

The two stepped onto the sidewalk, prepared for almost anything the night would bring.

--HMHMHM—

"Hannah! Lola! You guys made it!" Ashley yelled as she approached the two girls.

"Of course we came! We wouldn't miss this for the world." Hannah grinned as she hugged her friend.

"Yeah, speaking of it, where is V?" Lola quickly hugged Ashley, and was now craning her neck trying to spot Vanessa.

"You won't find her, she went of with Zac. He wanted to give her a present that he thought wasn't 'permissible' to be given in front of all these people. My guess is their making out in an empty room." Ashley laughed.

Hannah and Lola laughed with her. "Knowing them both, they probably are," Lola giggled.

Ashley turned to face Lola. "Lola! I almost forgot, Josh Henderson was asking for you. He said he wanted to talk." Ashley squealed as she grabbed Lola's hands.

"He asked? OMG! What is going on between you two?" Hannah demanded. "You guys are always on the phone with each other! Tell us!"

"Nothing is going on," Lola answered. "Were just friends. I better go see him where did you say he was Ash?"

"Down by the DJ," Ashley pointed to the right, the far corner of the room near the dance floor. "Have fun!" She called after her as Lola made her way through the crowd. "But not too much fun!"

"Just friends my big toe," Hannah mumbled.

Ashley laughed. "I better go find Jared before he figures out where I've hidden the cake." Ashley said suddenly. "I'll see you soon, Hannah." She quickly hugged her friend before setting off too find her boyfriend.

Hannah sighed. She was left all alone. Her eyes scanned the room, before they settled on her two friends Zac and Vanessa, who had just entered the room, both faces flushed with dishevelled hair and clothes. Hannah smiled to herself and began to make her way towards them when she noticed something terribly wrong on the dance floor.

--HMHMHM—

"Noelle! How are you?" Jake asked as he gave her a quick hug.

"Fine, just fine. Thanks. How about you guys?" She asked as she hugged Mike.

A "Good" and "Great" was heard from both boys. Noelle gave them both a puzzled look. "What's the matter?" She asked.

"Nothing," Jake said quickly glancing at Mike, telling him to keep his mouth shut, but Mike pretended like he didn't see Jake's look.

"He," he said nodding at Jake, "Refuses to listen to me."

"On what?" Noelle wondered.

"Nothing," Jake repeated glaring at Mike. Noelle waited for Mike to speak up, but when he didn't she decided to ask another question.

"Mike, I saw Hannah and Lola walk in, how come you aren't with them?" Noelle glanced at him.

Mike tensed up; he hadn't prepared himself for this. "Um, well, I was hanging out at Jake's house before this party, and since he was heading out here anyway, I told her I'd come with him."

"Oh, okay. You two have fun?" She enquired. "At Jake's house?" She pushed on when both boys gave her weird looks.

"Oh, yeah, we had fun." Jake said, flashing a smile.

"Yeah, great time doing…guy stuff," Mike agreed. He scanned the room, before noticing that Nick Jonas had just walked into the party. "Excuse me, will you guys?" He asked. "I need to go get a drink."

He didn't' bother waiting for an answer as he swept by them heading right for Nick who was looking around the room. "Hey." He said when he approached him.

Nick looked up, and smiled when he saw Mike. "Mike, dude, what's up?" Nick asked putting his hand out for Mike to shake.

Mike firmly grasped his hand. "Nothing much. You?" He inquired, hoping he'd make reference to what he was looking for.

"Just chilling, I was in the studio this whole morning working on the new album." Nick responded.

Mike nodded. He decided he didn't want to beat around the bush; he went straight to the point.

"So, dude, what's up with you and Hannah?" Mike threw in casually as he looked around the room.

He could feel Nick looking at him. "Hannah? What about her?"

"Oh, I don't know. I was wondering if something was up with you two, you guy's seemed pretty cozy at the premiere last time."

"Oh," Nick said remembering the night. He shrugged evenly. "Nothing, something was upsetting her, so I was comforting her."

"Yeah," Mike turned to look at Nick again. "Did she say what?"

"Yea, she was like to me 'Nick I can't see you anymore. We can hang out.' I was surprised, I mean, were really close friends. We've always been, and we're expected to go on tour this summer too. I never expected her to say that. When I asked why, she told me she couldn't because she was hurting someone who meant a lot to her when we hung out.

"She made to move away, but I pulled her into a hug. She sounded so sad and broken. I couldn't leave her like that; I couldn't let her walk away. She's like my younger sister. She started crying, saying she couldn't do this; she would hurt someone she loved. It was so weird. Anyways, we haven't talked since." Nick finished.

Mike stood there staring at Nick. Mouth hanging wide open. Head spinning. He couldn't believe it, he was right! Miley—er Hannah was innocent! She didn't do anything to Jake.

"Dude? Are you alright? Mike?" Nick was waving his hands in front of Mikes face trying to get his attention.

"Oh, what was that?" Mike asked as he snapped out of his trace and closed his mouth.

"I said, what's up with those two? They look like were at a club." Nick pointed towards the dance floor. Mike's eyes followed Nick's finger, they landed on Jake and Noelle who were grinding on the dance floor. His had his hands wrapped all around her and her hands were buried in his back pocket. The two definitely didn't look like they were 16, but like they were 21 at a club.

People on the dance floor stop to stare at them as they continued to dirty dance; but they seemed oblivious to everyone, if Mike hadn't been in on the plan he'd have thought that were going out. "Oh shit." Mike breathed as he caught notice of Hannah stopping dead in her tracks to watch the two on the dance floor.

"I got to go," he muttered to Nick as he ran to the dance floor.

--HMHMHM—

Hannah felt tears well up in her eyes. She couldn't believe this. She couldn't. This wasn't happening. It couldn't be. She slowly reached up to pinch herself, she flinch at the tight squeeze. No. This was really happened. She wanted to run, to leave, to cry, to scream. But her body froze. She couldn't move. Her feet were attached to the ground and her eyes glued to what was supposed to be her boyfriend, grinding against Noelle Parker, a teen actress.

She squeezed her eyes shut, and she felt a few tears drop onto her cheeks and slide down her face. They burned her skin as they trickled down her chin. Her head was spinning and she was getting dizzy, yet she still couldn't move.

What was Jake doing out there? They way the two were looking at each other; Hannah was surprised they hadn't already ripped of each others clothes. Million's of thoughts were swimming in her mind. But she felt like drowning on just one: How could Jake do this too her? He knew that she was going to attend this party, everyone knew she was. She and Vanessa were super tight friends. He knew she was going to be here yet he still chose to bring the girl.

Just then another though jolted in her mind: Was that girl Jake's girlfriend? It certainly seemed like it, the way they were looking at each other. Was Jake cheating on her?

By the time Hannah opened her eyes again, tears were streaming down her face. She couldn't even see right, her vision being blurred by all the hot tears. She wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out. She knew that this would be all over the news by tomorrow morning, on magazines stands, in the news paper, on the radio and the television. She was going to be humiliated as Miley, since Jake was Miley's boyfriend. She wanted to find a big rock crawl under and never come out to face the real world ever again. But she couldn't move. Her feet glued to the spot on the floor. Her eyes training on Jake and the girl.

"Hannah! Hannah!"

She heard her name being called, but it sounded far away, she wanted to turn around and see who was calling her but she couldn't. She couldn't move.

"Hannah," the voice was right behind her now. "Hannah, your dad just called—Oh my god," it finished softly, as Lola appeared beside her hands covering her mouth.

Hannah quickly turned to Lola. "Lola, he did—Cheated—I can't—" Hannah tried to speak but she couldn't get a complete sentence out. The only thing that she could think of was the images of Jake and the girl dancing.

"Hannah, there's something you should know." Lola said softly. She didn't want to tell her friend now, not after what was going on in front of them, but she knew she had too. They needed to leave. "Hannah, Jackson was in an accident."

Hannah's eyes snapped back to Lola's face. This could not be happening. She comes to a party only to find her boyfriend practically having sex with a girl at her friend's party. Then she's told her brother was in an accident. Oh no. "What?" she managed to get out.

"Jackson was in an accident on his way home from work." Lola repeated softly. "He's at the hospital; we need to go see him." Local gently grabbed her friend's arms.

"No. No. NO!" Hannah screamed. "No this isn't happening."

She continued to scream as she struggled to get out of Lola's grasp.

"Hannah!" Another voice called. Suddenly, all eyes were on her. She looked up at Lola's face, to see her eyes pleading with her, as if silently asking her to stop making a fuss and leave. One thought finally registered in her mind: Jackson might be dead. Everything started spinning and her legs went weak. Her knees buckled. The last thing she saw Oliver and Nick running towards her before everything went black.
