Author's Note: I think I'm going to be ending this soon…it's kind of hard for me to write. Let me know what you think of the story and where it's going…..

14. Going

I feel like I'm constantly going, and there is nothing stopping me. I go from my bed to the bathroom to the kitchen-where Dad and Jackson are and I have to fake my way through toast and eggs- to school, where I have to avoid Lily, because all she does is gives me a weird look and I go from class to class not talking to anyone to pack home, where I have to fight off the feeling alone in my room. I'm always going and it's wearing me out.

I'm in my closet again, curled up into the corner of it, trying to think of a song to write. Anything to distract me, but I can't think of anything. My creative thoughts went away that day Lily said she needed space. I guess I got a taste of my own medicine. "Miles?" I glance at my closet door, Jackson's voice breaking my thoughts.

"What?" I say and I hear him walk towards my closet slowly.

"What are you doing?" He asks, staring at me, his eyes worried.

I shrug my shoulders and smile half heartedly at him. "Nothing. Trying to think of a new Hannah song." I tell him and he nods his head.

"Why don't you go to Dad? You two could write something good together. And you wouldn't be…" He trails off, staring at me, I glance down at myself and I realize that I'm wearing short shorts. They are so short, half of my scars are poking out. I quickly put my hand over then and glance up at him, his sentence fragment stuck in my head.

"What alone?" I ask, I know both him and dad hate me to be alone…ever since I told Dad. Jackson hasn't been around much, but I know he's just as scared as Dad is.

"Yeah." He says and then crosses his arms over his chest. "Come on." He says and steps away from the door.

I nod my head and stand up, I'm just barely short enough to be able to stand all the way up in my closet still. "Okay." I sigh out and step out of my closet, Jackson smiling at me.

"Anyway I came up here to tell you Oliver is in the living room." He says and I watch him disappear into his room.

I let out a sigh, wondering what Oliver would want, he hasn't really spoken to me since that day he found out. I walk into the living room and Oliver is standing near Dad in the kitchen as Dad cooks dinner. "Oliver. Hey." I say and Oliver turns around to face me, a smile on his face.

"Miley! How's it going?" He asks walking over to me, sounding just like he did when we were fourteen.

I nod my head and put a smile on my face, trying to match his feeling. "I'm okay. Lily won't talk to me though." I tell him, my voice barely above a whisper.

Oliver nods his head and glances at me. "Yeah, she told me about htat. I'm sorry." He says and I shrug my shoulders, it really doesn't matter.

"It doesn't matter." Isay and I glance at Dad, who is staring at us, but trying not to look like it.

"Sure it does." He says and I nod my head, yeah, it kind of does.

"I know." I glance at Dad again, who is busy stiring the noodles in the pot on the stove. "Want ot stay for dinner?" I ask Olvier, wanting it to feel like old time again. Minus Lily of course.

"Only if you invite Lily." I give Oliver a look and he shrugs his shoulders. "We have to settle this." He says and then his eyes get clouded over. "For you, I mean." And I nodded my head while glancing back over at Dad who quickly glanced away from me.

"Fine. Fine." I say and I pull my cell phone out of my pocket and quickly find Lily's number and then dial it. I press the phone to my hear, my heart beating fast and I feel myself grow faint as she picks up. "Lily? Um, would you like to come to my house for dinner? I mean Oliver is here." I say so quickly I could barely understand it myself.

Lily is quiet for a really long time and I glance at Oliver who is giving me an off glance. He mouths 'what' to me and I shrug my shoulders in response. "Fine. Sure." She says and then quickly clicks her phone off.

I nod my head and hang up my own phone. "Yeah, she's going to come." I say and I glance at Oliver, who is smiling.

"Just wait, you two will be all over each other by the ned of the night." He promises and I shrug my shoulders.

I'm always going with something or another. It's annoying.
