What happened before:
I started to run for the door and I looked behind me and he was going after me once again.
------------------------
Jake ran for the door and heard someone scream "No!"
"Miley?" Jake called and pushed the back door open.
Chapter 17
Best of Both Worlds
As I headed for the door, I saw it push open and out came Jake. I felt so happy to see him, and as soon as he saw me, he ran toward me.
"Miley!" He shouted and I ran into his arms crying my heart out. I pressed my face firmly into his chest feeling so scared and helpless.
"Are you okay?" He asked me and I looked up at him. He put his hand on my cheek and wiped my tears away.
"Jake, its David! The person that was blackmailing me is David!!" I said shaking my head still in fear.
"You're alright now, you're here with me." Jake said and kissed my temple. His voice cracked as he said this and his eyes glistened in the moonlight.
"But Jake, He was right behind me, he could be getting away!" I trembled at his touch waiting for him to let me go at any second.
"Miley, I want you to go inside and stay there. I'm going after him." Jake let go of me. He started to run for David trying to catch up with him.
I collapsed to the ground and watched him run after David and that was the fastest I've ever saw Jake run before. I didn't want to go inside just yet. I felt too weak to go inside by myself so I sat there watching Jake catch up with David.
Jake finally caught up to David and threw his body at him making both of them fall to the ground. From where I could see, Jake was hitting David, kicking him and punching his back.
"Over there!" I hear someone shout and I turned around finding the police running. The police ran past me and toward Jake and David.
I pulled my legs up to my chest and hugged them just watching it all happen before me. Why did it all have to happen to me? If I only told someone then this wouldn't have happened.' I pressed my forehead against my knees and started to cry again.
"Miley." I hear someone call my name a few minutes later and looked up finding Jake. He looked a little torn up and tired from running and trying to beat David up. His hair was messy and his shirt was a little ripped, but you can't completely tell that he was in some sort of a fight.
"David is going with the police. I explained to them what happened and they're bringing him to the station." Jake said while rubbing his arms.
"Why did it have to happen to me Jake? Think about it out of all the people out there and it happens to me." My words were muffled as I said them while pressing my mouth against my arms. I felt so violated, so disgusted at myself.
"Come on Miley, you're okay now. The police are taking David and he'll be locked up." Jake said and kneeled down next to me wrapping his arms around me. "Let's go in now, you must be cold." Jake helped me up with his arms still wrapped around me.
I looked back at David before going inside and he was being handcuffed by the police men and being brought to the police car. We walked inside and I kept my head on his shoulder afraid that something bad might happen again. He had his arm tightly wrapped around my shoulder supporting me just incase I fell.
I thought I could trust David, I mean he was my dads' best friend after all! I guess you can always hold grudges against something that happened long ago.' I thought to myself as we walked into the gym.
"Miley!" I hear someone call my name and found my dad running toward me. He threw his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "I'm so happy you're alright!"
Seeing my dad made me want to cry even more. I thought that I wouldn't be able to see him again after what David tried to do to me. I love him with all my heart and just seeing him made me happy. He's a great man and I can't believe someone like David would go betraying dad like that.
"I know I am too daddy!" I said and wrapped my arms around him and cried into his shoulder. I felt someone hug me from behind and I turned seeing Lilly. I let go of dad and gave Lilly a hug.
"I'm sorry Miley, we should've told someone before all of this happened." Lilly said crying. "I was so worried! I thought that he would've hurt you. I can't believe that it was Jarren's dad all along."
"Its okay Lilly, it's my fault, I didn't want to tell anyone and now that he almost did what he did, I just can't believe it. It's so unreal and I still don't want to believe what just happened." I said and let go of Lilly.
I hugged Oliver and he was getting teary eyed, but he was holding it in. "I'm happy you're safe now Miles." His voice cracked as he said this.
"I know me too." I replied and smiled. He really did care for me as a friend.
I looked behind my dad and found Jarren there. He was sitting down on a chair looking confused. I can't believe it wasn't him.' I thought and walked over to him.
"Hey Jarren." I said and he looked up at me.
"I'm sorry Miley, I could've stopped it and I could've told you, but I didn't. I'm not a good friend at all." He slouched on his seat and hung his head low.
"It's not your fault, Jake told you to stay away from me and I didn't really want to interact with you after you did try to kiss me twice." I admitted and he smiled.
"Yeah, I was stupid and I missed my girlfriend. You really do remind me of her." He said and looked up at me.
"Yeah, I know. You're still my friend and I'm willing to start over if you want." I said and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks Miley, I would like that." Jarren said and then I felt a tap at my shoulder.
"Excuse me, Ms. Montana, do you want us to stop the dance and let everyone go home?" Someone asked me and I turned around finding a police man there.
"No, let them have their fun. I have to do something and I know I have to put a show on for them." I said. Everyone at the dance was clueless on what's happening right now. They were partying on the other side of the stage when all the action is behind the stage.
"Okay Ms. Montana, well we need to bring you down town to have a write up on what happened. Everyone that is involved has to go and to you need to bring the letters Mr. Jarren Clarkson was talking about." The police man said.
"Do ya think we can do it tomorrow morning?" Dad asked as he walked up to us.
"Maybe, but I have to tell my boss." he said and brought out his phone. He dialed on it and started to talk.
"Miley, what are you gunna do?" Oliver asked me putting his hand on my shoulder.
"You'll find out." I said and the officer got off his phone.
"Well, my boss said that he will allow this only once since you are famous and he said first thing tomorrow morning. He said he had many cases that involved famous people that didn't want anyone to find out so he understands. So Mr. and Ms. Montana, its okay if you come in tomorrow morning." the police man said and was about to leave.
"Hey Mr. Police guy, call me Miley Stewart, not Ms. Montana." I said and he turned back looking at me.
"Okay Ms. Stewart. See you tomorrow morning." he said and left the gym.
"Daddy?" I said and looked at him.
"Yes Miley?" he said putting his hand on my cheek.
"I think I'm ready to tell them." I let out. "I've thought about this over and over tonight and maybe it would be the right time to tell them. I don't care anymore if they know. Right now I just want to let it all out and tell the whole world who I am." And I lost my wig so I can't really go outside and get it because its evidence that something did happen. I added in my head.
"Whatever you want. We're here for you 100 percent." He said and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks dad." I said and turned to Jake. "Jake, do you think you can come up with me when I tell them?"
"Sure, anything for you." He gave me a supporting smile and I hugged him.
I took his hand and we headed toward the stage. Jake went over to the DJ and asked him to fade out the music so that we could say something. The DJ gave Jake a microphone and we walked on stage. I stood behind him so that the students wouldn't see me.
"Okay everyone, I have an announcement to make." Jake said as the song faded out.
'Oh boy, here we go.' I thought to myself and took gripped on the fabric from the back of Jakes shirt.
"So, I have a girl here that wants to tell you something so give your attention to Miley Stewart." Jake said and turned around. He handed me the microphone and hugged me. "Everything's going to be alright. If they don't believe you, we're still here for you." He whispered and kissed me on the cheek.
"Hello everyone. I know you're wondering why I'm up here talking to you and wearing this and not my other dress." I took a deep breath.
"Tonight has been a really big night for me because I won as Homecoming Queen, but I have a big secret that I've been holding in for about 3 years now. Tonight you had a performer sing for you two songs wearing this same dress as I am and the only reason why I'm wearing it is because I'm... Hannah Montana." I paused for a second hearing people gasp. Jake put his hands on my shoulder and I looked up at him and he nodded.
I looked back over at the crowd. "I know this seems too unreal, but after what happened tonight, I'm ready to tell the whole world who I really am." Everyone was speechless as I said this. I guess I really do need to give them more of an explanation.
"I made up an alter ego because I still wanted to live a normal life as a regular teenage girl. I liked being treated normal and being unnoticed by many people, but seeing how you all treated Jake when he first came to our school made me not want to tell you all who I am. I don't care if you don't believe me because I know who I am and it's alright. So here I am now and this may be my final time performing." I said and gave Jake the microphone. I was about to leave when I hear the students cheering for my name.
"Miley! Miley! Miley!" I looked at the students and they looked like they wanted me to sing for them.
I stopped and turned to Jake. "You all want to hear Miley sing?" Jake said through the microphone and everyone screamed.
"Alright, give it up for Miley Stewart also known as Hannah Montana!" Jake said and walked over to me giving me the microphone back.
"But." I started, but seeing my band coming on stage. They hugged me before taking their places to their instruments.
"I'm happy for you." Brandi said and stood beside me.
"Yeah I am too." Alexis, my other dancer, said and stood on the other side of me.
"Jake, thank you." I said and he smiled at me.
"It's your time and I'm happy to see you smiling again after what happened tonight." He said and hugged me once again before leaving the stage.
"Well what song do you want me to sing?" I asked the students and they all said "Best of Both Words". I smiled and soon the tune of "Best of Both Words" started to play.
A/N Yes, this is the end (cries) LOL anyway, I'm happy that you all really liked it and thank you for reading and reviewing it.
