Haha to Alihope, as promised, I posted the next chapter today so you could have something to do in class. But yeah thank yall for the reviews, there's only one more chapter left in this story. I'm kinda sad about that :(
Miley awoke early the next morning. She was excited, everything was going as planned. She just needed the phone call back from Roxy, and then they could be off. Miley paced up and down the floor in her room.
"Walk any harder and I could'a swore there was a earthquake going on." Oliver said in a groggy voice.
Miley sat back down on her bed "I'm sorry, I guess I'm a little nervous and excited at the same time."
Oliver tried to sit up, but found out he didn't have the energy yet; he plopped back down on the bed. "I understand, it's just not gonna help if you go crazy in the process."
"Yeah I know" Miley sad miserably.
There was a knock on the door.
Miley perked up a bit "Come in!"
It was Elliot with the phone in hand "I believe it's for you Miley."
Shooting up, she grabbed the phone. Thanking Elliot, she put her phone to her ear "Hello?" Miley tried to say calmly "Hey Roxy please tell me you have it?" Waiting for her body guards response. All Oliver was aware of was that it must have been good news because Miley began jumping. "Oh my gosh thank you so much, have I ever told you how much I love you?" Miley laughed "Ok you're right no need for further butter upin'" She paused "Don't worry I will. Thank you again, and I'll see you soon. Bye" With that Miley hung up.
"Good news?" Oliver raised an eyebrow.
Miley smiled wide "Very good news. C'mon get your stuff, we should be leaving soon. I'm sure by now Mary's caught on that we're not there.
Oliver and Miley took turns getting ready in the bathroom; when they were all packed, they walked into the living room.
Oliver stopped at the sight of Todd sitting on the couch. "What are you doing here?"
Todd stood up "I'm sorry Oliver, I was dumb for not coming with you to begin with. I couldn't sleep at all last night and realized I couldn't be without you."
Dropping his bags, Oliver walked over to Todd and kissed him.
Miley mocking Oliver's previous reaction to her kissing Lilly, covered her eyes "Get a room."
He stopped and turned to Miley "Ha ha very funny."
Greg and Elliot came out into the living room.
Greg grinned at the sight of Oliver holding Todd's hand "So I take it you approve of this addition to the trip?"
Oliver nodded excitedly.
Elliot looked over at Miley "So do we know the heading?"
"We sure do." Miley took out the directions and pointed at them "But you'll only have to take us as far as there. I have the rest of the way taken care of."
Elliot gave the directions a look over, and shook his head "Ok, this seems simple enough."
Greg clapped his hands "It's settled! Is everyone ready for a road trip?" And he ran outside.
Miley laughed. She couldn't help but think he was just as excited about this as she was.
They had been on the road for 30 minutes already, it was going to be a 3 hour drive.
Oliver and Todd practically couldn't keep their hands off each other, so Miley was forced to just look out the window.
All Miley could do was think. She thought about the pros and cons of her choices. 'What if Mikayla was right? What if I don't know Lilly at all? What if I get there and I was just some sort of fling to her?' Miley shook those thoughts out of her head. She couldn't think like that, for sure not now.
She thought back to the first time she saw Lilly laying on the bed. That smile she gave her, the feeling she got when she saw that smile. The feeling of her hand in Miley's. The shock she got when Lilly kissed her. Miley nodded. 'That's why I'm doing this, and I need to fight for what I want.'
Miley spent the rest of the car ride going over her plan, this needed to be flawless.
As directed, Elliot pulled into the parking lot at the beach.
Miley, Oliver, and Todd stepped out of the van. Elliot and Greg followed suit soon after.
"So where's this place at?" Oliver looked around.
Miley pointed off to the distance "You see that little hut there? That's Rico's, Roxy should be waiting there."
"Who exactly is this Roxy person?" Todd asked.
Sighing, Miley knew the truth would have to come out eventually "She's my bodyguard."
Oliver stopped in his place "Your what?"
Miley grabbed his hand "I'll explain later, right now we just need to find her."
Upon reaching Rico's, Miley saw the lady she was looking for seated at one of the tables.
"Roxy!" Miley yelled as she went to give her bodyguard a hug.
Roxy returned the hug smiling, but then got serious "I just want you to know how hard it was to keep this from your father. I'm sticking my neck out for you, you're my little girl. I hope you know what you're doing."
Miley shrugged "Don't I always?"
Roxy put her hands on her hip and gave her a look.
Putting on a cute smile, Miley added "Ok, maybe I don't, but I'm sure about this one" 'Kinda' "Roxy I'd like you to meet Oliver, Todd, Greg, and Elliot."
They all shook hands.
Greg turned to Miley "This is where we depart, but Elliot and I wish you luck."
Miley gave both Greg and Elliot hugs.
"Thank you guys, y'all are the best."
They said good-bye to the others, and headed back to the van.
Roxy starting heading for the car "C'mon you three, if we're gonna do this, we better do it now. If I've done my research correctly, Heather Truscott gets out of work in an hour."
Miley, Oliver, and Todd rushed behind Roxy.
Miley sat in the passenger seat of Roxy's Civic. She couldn't help it now, Miley was in full freak-out mode. Even if Lilly did come with her, she did feel bad about kidnapping the girl. Well, ok Lilly was 17 so it wouldn't exactly be kidnapping. Besides, her mom didn't care for her the way a mom should. Miley went back to the first thought, if Lilly came with her. She frowned 'I hope she does.'
Miley kept on looking up every time the car would stop. Was it just her or did it seem like they were hitting EVERY red light on the way? She tapped her fingers nervously on her arm rest. Miley felt a hand on her shoulder.
Oliver's voice could be heard from the backseat "It's gonna be ok Miles."
Miley reached up and squeezed Oliver's hand to show thanks for his concern.
The car came to a stop.
Roxy looked over at Miley "Well we're here. Can't guarantee an exact time, but I'd say your running low."
Miley picked up a walkie-talkie "Channel 2" and to calm her nerves, she joked "And if I don't make it, tell daddy I love em.'"
Oliver shooed her out the door "Get your ass moving!"
Miley stuck her tongue out at him, and ran out of the car.
She looked around for cars as she crept up to the house. When she got to the front door, Miley was about to ring the doorbell when Roxy's voice came out from the walkie-talkie.
Static "Hide Miley! She's coming!" Static
Miley frantically looked around and jumped into a nearby bush.
She heard the sound of a car pulling into the driveway. Heather's high heels could be heard walking up the sidewalk. Miley held her breath hoping she wouldn't be noticed. Heather stopping at the door, she fumbled in her purse to find her keys. Finding them, she opened the door and Miley heard her say "Hey honey I'm home!"
Miley cringed, 'How can she talk to Lilly like that after what she's done?' she frowned after she realized the plan was ruined for today. Noticing that today was Friday, she groaned. 'I'd have to wait til Monday to even try again. If only I could…' she stopped. Miley knew what she could do, but first she had to attempt to talk to Lilly.
Static Miley where ARE you? Did she catch you? Static
Miley started to circle the house Static No Roxy, I'm fine. I just need to try and do something. Static
With that, Miley turned her walkie-talkie off.
Looking up at the windows on the second floor, one caught her eye. A room filled with posters of different music artists, that had to be Lilly's room.
Miley looked around for a means up, she spotted a tree. She was never one for climbing trees, but she had to try.
After a few attempts at getting started, Miley climbed the tree slowly to the second floor rooftop. She praised god when her feet made it to the second floor. Peering into the window, she saw it was unoccupied. Miley's heart sank. She looked around the room, smiling, Lilly sure was a slob.
Miley jumped away from the window when she saw the door open. Peeking around the corner, her face lit up. There was Lilly, attempting to clean her room. Miley noticed her eyes were red from crying. She was about to knock, when she noticed the door opened again. She ducked back, Miley knew it was Heather this time.
Waiting about five minutes, she dared a look. She was relieved to see Heather had left. Lilly was laying on her bed with her eyes closed. Miley tapped quietly on the window; Lilly didn't move. Feeling brave, Miley tapped a little bit louder. At this, Lilly stirred and looked over at the window. Miley just smiled and waved.
Lilly shot off the bed and opened the window.
"What are you doing here? Wait, how… no. Sorry I don't know where to start." Lilly confused.
Miley laughed "How bout with this?" She leaned into the window and kissed the stunned blonde.
Lilly pulled away grinning "That's a good place to start. But yeah what's going on?" Picking a leaf out of Miley's hair.
Miley knew she was short on time "Lilly do you love me?"
Lilly shook her head in disbelief "Miley you know I do."
Jumping straight to it "Would you runaway with me?"
Without hesitation, Lilly replied "In a second."
Miley smiled "Ok. I don't have time to explain now, but whatever happens. Go along with it."
Lilly looked even more confused, but nodded "Ok"
Miley stealing one more kiss from Lilly, she headed down the tree.
Once on the ground she looked up at Lilly who stood in the window. Miley shaped her hands into a heart. Lilly smiled and blew her a kiss.
Miley not wanting to push her luck, ran back to the car.
Slamming the passenger door seat closed, she gave a sigh of relief.
"Where in God's name were you?" Miley looked over at Roxy "We were scared you got caught."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I spoke to Lilly, I told her to be ready." Miley smiled.
Oliver looked stumped "Ready for what?"
Miley looked at all of them "For Plan B of course."
