Jake and Miley Chapter 9
Hey everyone! This might get posted later than I originally wanted it to be, but hey, I got it up right? I'm still trying to bring up my math grade, so my updates won't be as often. Anyway, enjoy!!!
Miley wiped the last tear off her face and listened as her printer worked out the information she had looked up.
"Damn." She muttered as she read the date it was supposed to happen. "Only one day to perfect everything I say."
But she knew she had to get it perfect to get what she wanted.
She pulled an all nighter that night. She called Lilly and Oliver to ask them to be a part of her plan (Even though they hadn't talked to her in a while, they both said yes.). She picked out her outfit. She prepared a speech. By 10: 30 Sunday morning, she was ready.
Her dad's car pulled up to Weston Lionel (The talk show host) Studios. "Are you sure you want to do this Bud?" He asked.
"More than I've ever wanted to do anything." Miley answered.
Of course, Miley's nerves got the better of her and it took Lilly, Oliver, Her dad, two security guards and a nearby dog walker to convince her to go inside.
"Okay, corner Zoey and shove her into a closet or something." Miley instructed her friends.
Lilly crossed her arms over her chest. "DO I have to work with him?" She asked.
"What's so wrong with me?" Oliver asked.
"I'd rather not work with someone who called me ugly." Lilly grumbled and glared at Oliver.
"I never called you ugly-"Lilly and Oliver began to argue.
"Guys!" Miley Shouted. They turned to look at her. "Please help me." She pleaded.
"Well, okay." Oliver happily replied.
"Thanks." Miley said, but gave Oliver a "We'll-talk-about-why-you-called-her-ugly-later" look.
The three friends embraced each other in a group hug, and then separated into two separate parties.

Finding the sound booth was easy. The hard parts were
getting the sound check guy out of his booth
Figuring out how to use the overhead microphone
"Why don't you try this switch smart-tart?" (AN: I got that from one of my friends.) Oliver grumbled and pushed the button label "Ovhd Mic"
"Zoey Storm, please report to your dressing room." Lilly said in a monotone voice. She signaled Oliver to turn off the microphone, which he did promptly.
"Nice going dumb arse. Now we have to find her dressing room." Oliver griped.
Lilly felt herself blush. "Oops."

Miley walked past the sign marked "Employees only." Then she followed the signs that pointed to where the stage was. She was almost there…
"Hey, you aren't supposed to be back here." A gruff voice said.
She looked up, but the guy was so tall she couldn't clearly see his face, what she could see, however, was his nametag labeled "Chuck"
"Sorry, ah, Chuck. I just need to get out there so if you'll excuse me..." She stepped aside to get past him. Unfortunately he stepped with her.
"Zoey Storm please report to your dressing room." A voice Miley recognized as Lilly's rang out. Less than 20 seconds later, Zoey pushed past Chuck. Chuck wasn't expecting this, so he fell but quickly caught himself.
Suddenly, Miley was struck with an idea…..

Lilly and Oliver peered down the hallway, waiting for Zoey to show up. The point of this was to be sneaky, but that wasn't happening with Oliver singing the James Bond song.
"Do-do-do, do-do-do- do do do." Lilly punched him hard and put her finger to her lips. Then she heard a door open.
"Run." She whispered. They ran to the open door with a paper that said "Zoey". They saw her thin figure in the room. "Now!" She screamed and they closed the door and blocked it with a chair.
"Mission accomplished." They high-five.
"SO does that mean I get to sing the spy song?" Oliver asked.
Lilly rolled her eyes. "GO ahead." She said and held in her laughter at his stupidity.

Miley was struck with an idea.
"Are you a dancer?" She asked Chuck.
The big guy in front of her seemed startled (from what she could see anyway. It was hard telling peoples emotions without seeing their face). "Yeah, how did you know?"
"I can tell. Ever had an audience?" The man seemed to shake his head. "Well you have one now. Here," she handed him an ipod that lay on the desk near them, "Put it on shuffle and dance to three songs without stopping. Oh, and keep your eyes closed. It builds creativity."
Chuck obeyed happily. AS soon as he started dancing Miley ran to the stage feeling sorry for the poor idiot she left behind.
What she didn't realize was when she walked out onto the stage, she would be instantly visible.
"Oooh, we have a surprise guest." Weston gestured to her.
"Miley?" Jake asked incredulously.
"Um, hi everyone." Miley stepped forward nervously.
"What are you doing here?" He asked as he got up from the two seater couch (Where Zoey's empty seat stood.)
"I wanted to explain some things." Miley wanted to turn and run back, but she realized she was in too deep to do that now. "Starting with why Melissa Stokes ran away."
"And how would you know that?" Weston cut in.
"Because I'm Melissa Stokes." The room seemed to gasp all at once. "I wanted to be with you again-ya know like we used to be- and I heard about that show. But I knew your mom and everyone else wouldn't let me through if I was your ex."
"But if you wanted to be together, how come you broke up with me in the first place?" By now they stood right in front of each other.
"Because I thought I wanted perfection. Only I didn't know I had it right in front of me." Without even thinking it through, she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. With relief, she found that he was kissing her back.

Lilly and Oliver stared at the screen overhead where it showed Jake and Miley, kissing on national television.
"Aww, how cute." Lilly said.
Oliver looked over at his friend. "Lills…" She turned to look at him. Without warning, she felt his lips on hers. She was startled at first, but relaxed and pressed her lips against his a little harder.
Suddenly Oliver pulled away. "No! We shouldn't be doing this." He said.
Lilly touched her swollen lips and asked "What?"
"This! We shouldn't be kissing! I like Miley, not you!" The words cut through Lilly like a knife.
"Well, you kissed me! You did that on your own!" Lilly shouted.
"Just….Whatever Lilly." Oliver walked away.
Lilly wanted to cry but stopped herself just in time. Just then, she noticed a large man dancing. He stopped and asked "Miss?"

Just as suddenly as Oliver pulled away from Lilly, Jake pulled away from Miley.
"So now you want me? When I have a girlfriend and I'm happy you decide to start liking me?" Jake asked, his voice growing louder with every word.
"I-I-"Miley stammered.
"No, don't talk, just listen. For at least a month after we broke up, I was depressed. I wanted nothing to do with girls. Then MTV asked me to be on that show and I thought 'Just the thing to help me get over Miley'"
"And it did help me get over you. I met the most amazing girl and she makes me happy. She doesn't care that the paparazzi follows us everywhere. She doesn't care about my crazy fans. That's why I love her."
Those last five words replayed in Miley's head. "Sorry Miley. You had your chance and you blew it." Jake said.
Miley couldn't stop a few tears from running down her cheeks. She turned and ran off the stage.
"I'm sorry Chuck. I gotta go. You're a great dancer." Miley stumbled upon her words. She turned and ran, hoping her friends were following her.
Miley cried into Lilly's shoulder while Oliver patted her back. The tears eventually stopped falling, but the pain was still there.
And to make it worse, she had a Hannah Concert the next night.
Aww, so sad right? Well, don't worry, they'll be make ups in the next chapter.
See ya soon!
