Chapter 9

Phone Calls

After school Jake and I didn't go to the homecoming meeting after school because of a premier party we had to go to. We gave our song ideas for homecoming to Oliver and Lilly so they could give it to Ms. Allen.

Ms. Allen didn't like that we were not going to go to the meetings since the dance is next Friday and we need to know it by then, but she let us go. Jake was easily excused, but I had to get my dad to write a letter saying that I had a doctor's appointment. We would've stayed since the party didn't start until 6, but then the meeting lasted until 7 at night.

Today, Jarren tried to talk to me, but then I would just walk away from him. He always tried to get near me, but I would either be with Jake and Jake would just glare at him looking as if he were to kick his butt, or walk into the girls bathroom.

Jake was walking me home, as usual, just to make sure that Jarren wouldn't come up behind me and do something to me.

We stopped in front of my house and he kissed me on the cheek. "Hey, Miley, I'll pick you up at your house in 2 hours for the party okay?" Jake said.

"Yeah, sure." I replied and looked around finding no one there and then I hugged him.

"Okay, bye now and I'll call you as soon as I get home." he said and dug his hands into his pockets and walked off.

I turned to the front door and opened it. I walked inside finding my dad sitting on the couch watching television.

"Hey daddy." I sat down next to him.

"How was school? I hope Ms. Allen wasn't too mad that you didn't go to the meeting." Dad said and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"School was fun and no dad, she wasn't. All she said that we have to, have to go to the meeting tomorrow." I dropped my head back on the couch and shut my eyes.

"You okay?" He asked and felt my head.

"Yeah I'm just tired." I put my arm over my eyes.

"Miley, Ms. Allen called and asked if you could go sing at the homecoming. They said that the student government wants everyone to go to the dance just for experience since not that much people went last year." My dad said.

I groaned. "No, I don't want to."

"But no one will go if they don't have a famous person, she was begging."

"Dad, I just don't want to, I went there only two weeks ago and what if someone finds out who I am? I had to stay offstage when Hannah performed and then I have to go offstage again if Hannah performs. Wouldn't that be suspicious?" I said.

"Well, it's something you'll have to do because I told them that you will do it."

"Dang flabit!" I smacked my forehead. "Dad!" I whined "Why did you have to do that I wanted to just relax on that day and dance with Jake"

"I'm sorry hun, we just need this right now. Hannah isn't doing any concerts until next month and we really need to gain more fans." he kissed my forehead.

"Fine." I grumbled. "I'll be upstairs if you need me." I said and stood up heading toward my room.

My head is spinning. I need to sleep. I lazily walked up the stairs and once I got to my room, I collapsed on my bed. My eyelids were becoming heavy when my cell phone started to ring.

I reached for my pocket, feeling for my cell phone and once I found it, and pulled out it out. I kept my eyes closed and flipped the phone opened and pressed it against my ear.

"Hello?" I said so close to falling asleep.

"Miley?" a raspy voice said and I shot my eyes open.

"Who is this and how did you get my number?" I asked sitting up.

"It's no one important, I just want to tell you that I know who is blackmailing you." he replied.

I rubbed my eyes trying to wake myself up. "What are you talking about? No one is blackmailing me." I said feeling a little freaked out that this person knows that someone is blackmailing me.

"Yes, someone is, don't lie to me. I know all about it and I know how you can stop it." he said sounding serious this time.

"Whatever, I'm hanging up." I said and closed my phone.

'What the heck was that about?' I asked myself and opened up my phone to see who the caller was. 'Damn, block call.' I threw my phone on the other side of the bed.

Soon it started to ring I reached over and answered it.

"Hello?" I said and feeling a little suspicious about this.

"Dammit, don't hang up on me woman! I know who is blackmailing you!" The person shouted.

I quickly closed my phone and turned if off. My heart throbbed hard against my chest. I'm scared. I don't know who that is and they're saying that they know about the person that is blackmailing me, that just doesn't make sense. The only people I told about it were Lilly, Oliver, and Jake.

Soon the Hannah phone started to ring. I jerked my head to the left side and stared at the phone. It was lighting up, ringing, and vibrating at the same time.

I stood up and walked over at my phone. I opened it and looked at the number. 'Blocked number.' It said and I answered it.

"Stop calling me you freak, I don't know how you got my numbers, but stop it!" I shouted at my phone when I heard the voice on the other line.

"Miley, Miley, what's wrong?" It was Jake.

"Oh my god Jake, I thought you were this person that kept on calling me saying that they knew who the person that's blackmailing me is." I replied holding my chest feeling a little relieved.

"What?! Is that why you weren't answering your cell phone?" Jake asked sounding worried.

"Yeah, I turned it off because that guy yelled at me for hanging up on him." I said and sat down on my bed.

"Tell me why we're not reporting this to the police again?" Jake asked.

"Because I don't want to tell anyone who I am until later on."

"You're being selfish, what if the person that you may meet does something bad to you?"

"I don't know Jake, I'll think about it okay?" I crossed my legs. "By the way, my dad agreed with Ms. Allen for me to go perform during the stupid dance as Hannah."

"Yes! That means I get to dance with you and we could do things like what Oliver and Lilly do at school sometimes." Jake said sounding a little happier.

"Yeah, I know. I'm just not really excited about it. I mean the talent show was just about 2 weeks ago and see what it's brought us? Us getting caught kissing and someone blackmailing me. It's not fair. I knew it would be a bad thing to take off my wig, but I did anyway." I felt stupid I knew this wouldn't work out the way I wanted it to, but I took the chance and did it anyway.

"Don't worry Miley, everything will work out fine. Hopefully we would find out who it is before anything bad happens and so far we for sure think it is Jarren."

"I hope it is Jarren because if not then we're screwed." I openly said. We are screwed, or more like I am the one that's screwed and my normal life will be over before I know it.

"So how did the guy sound like?" He asked

"Well, he had a raspy dark kind of voice, like his voice was being disguised."

"Hmm… I wonder…" Jake said and stayed quiet for a while.

"Wonder what?" I asked and laying down on my bed.

"I'll tell you later. Well, I'll see you in an hour, I better start getting ready and you should too." He said.

"Okay. Bye." I said and hung up my phone.

'Who in the world knows about the person blackmailing me except the four of us?' I asked myself and started to tap my fingers on my bed. 'Well whoever it is might also know about me being Hannah and may even tell the world about me.' I said and walked into the Hannah closet to get ready.
