Chapter 9
Jake's P.O.V.
"Ok Anna what's it gonna take to shut you up?" I asked.
"You have to play dolls with me every day after school for a week." She said. She kills me when I have to bribe her.
"Why can't you be like a normal little girl and accept money?!" I said.
I heard someone walk up behind me.
"Normally I would make this your punishment but I'll come up with one on my own." My mom said.
"You saw it already?" I asked and she nodded.
"Dang." I muttered under my breath.
Miley's P.O.V.
When I went downstairs I found my dad with the tabloid.
"Dang." I muttered.
"Honey please. Don't create another 'Jacksannah' thing." He said.
"I'm sorry Dad I just was really upset about Mom and he just came to comfort me." I said.
"Just don't do this again." He said, I was surprised there was no yelling. I nodded.
"I'm gonna go down to Rico's." I said. He nodded and I went upstairs to change. I put on a white denim mini skirt and my pink and black bikini with a low v neck pullover short sleeve sweatshirt.
I walked over to Rico's Jackson was on duty.
"Hey Jackson!" I said as I sat down.
"What can I get ya?" he asked.
"I'll take a mango smoothie." I said and as I did some Amber & Ashley overheard.
"I'll have the same!" they said together then said, "Oohh Tsss.".
"What's with them?" Jackson asked. They chimed in before I could, "Hello, she's dating Jake Ryan!" they said.
"Actually we're not dating, he was just being nice because I was crying." I said.
"Then why did he say he cared about you in the hall?" they asked.
"Were you spying?" I asked.
"That's not answering our question." Amber said.
"So what! Friends care about each other!" I shouted.
"Hey Miley!" Jake said.
"You feeling better?" he asked.
"Not helping!" I said pointing at Amber & Ashley.
"I knew you two were going out!" they shouted at the same time and did the Oooh Tss thing.
Jake's P.O.V.
"Jake, what did I tell you about tabloids?!" my mom shouted.
"I'm sorry. I really am! I didn't even know they took the stupid picture! Miley needed someone to comfort her! Her best friend wasn't even helping!" I snapped.
"I understand that! But you need to be more careful." She said.
"Ok I'm really sorry!" I said. I went up to my room and logged on to AIM. When I logged on I got 26 IMs I saw one of them was Miley, I answered her first.
ZombieBoy: Hey.
SmileyMiley: What's up? Did you get in trouble like I did?
ZombieBoy: Sort of...No punishment, but there was some yelling. You?
SmileyMiley: Same.
SmileyMiley: BTW why did you just look at me when A&A were all like 'You two are going out!'? That was completely stupid 'cuz now they think we're dating!
ZombieBoy: Maybe it's because I really wanted to go out with you.
SmileyMiley: Whatever.
ZombieBoy: is that a yes or a no?
SmileyMiley: I don't feel like talking. Answer some of your many other IMs.

ZombieBoy: Hey Hannah! I need more advice.
JustLikeYou22: shoot.
ZombieBoy: It's about Miley again.
JustLikeYou22: Ok...
ZombieBoy: I threw a party and I found her out on the deck, she was alone and she told me she was sad because it was the day her mom died a few years ago then someone took a picture of me comforting her while she was crying and it got onto a tabloid and they think we're dating and I think she's mad at me now.
JustLikeYou22: Maybe she's just stressed if she's never had to deal with paparazzi before. You never know maybe she was covering up her feeling by acting mad.
ZombieBoy: wow hannah that's great it's like you were able to get inside her head. Thanks.
