I had some stuff to ask him. Like, did Ashley really say that? Do I apologize? I had more, but I won't bore you on the subject. The January breeze cut right threw me, sending chills up my spine. When I reached his house, I knocked. I couldn't decide on if I wanted Jake or someone else to answer the door. Too late anyway, cause Jake opened it.
"Miley?" he asked. "What are you doing here?"
Why was he interrogating me? I should be asking him the questions.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I heard what Ashley said. I want to know what the real truth is, and I know I can't figure it out from some rumors. as much as I hate you right now, I have to figure it out from you," I said.
"What? Why would you hate me? I'm the one who hates you," Jake said.
"excuse me?" I asked. Who does this boy think he is? It's not like he's Jake R-. Nevermind. But that still ain't no excuse.
"Okay, let's wipe off our feet and go upstairs for a moment," Jake said. I took off my shoes and followed him upstairs to the dining room table.
"Okay, so explain to me why in the world you want to be mad at me," Jake said.
"Well let's see, you tell me that you're coming back a day later than you really did, and then when you do come home early, you make out with another girl right in front of my locker!" I accused.
"What!? I only came home early because I heard you wanted to break up while I was gone. I couldn't sleep or eat without you Miley! I had to know what was going on from you in person. I would've gotten here faster, but all the flights were booked," Jake explained.
"Wait, so you are telling me that I broke up with you over the summer?" I asked.
Jake nodded.
"Boy, what are you smoking!" I yelled. "I've never broken up with you before!"
"Miley, I got your text," he said pulling out his phone to prove it to me. He went through a ton of texts before getting to mine.
"See it says, Jake, the time we've had together has been fun, but I must end it because we're just two very different people," he read.
"That's a lie. I've never written that, let me see it," I said grabbing his phone. On the top it said it said the number that gave it to Jake. "that's not my number."
Jake took a look at it.
"Omigosh it isn't," he said realizing that mine is two digits switched around. I looked at the number.
"I know that number from somewhere. Who is it?" I asked.
"Maybe we could call them," Jake shrugged.
"No! Otherwise they'll catch on to our plans," I said.
"What plans?" Jake asked.
"I don't know. Just please no, don't do it," I pleaded.
"We have to know who is trying to break us up," Jake said.
"Wait. We are broken up there's no getting around that," I said. He looked crushed. Good. I hope he know how I felt.
"Hey wait! Why were you making out with Ashley?" I asked.
"She told me that she had heard about the break up," Jake said. "She gave me her number, and kissed me before she turned around. Before I knew it I was in the heat of the moment," he explained.
"what?! How could you?" I screamed. But than I realized something. "Although I that's fine, because we are not going out anymore. Just fine with me," I lied. I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach by Ashleys six inch boots.
"Well let's get this number called," Jake said.
"Wait! Fine, I'll do it, but I seriously have to go! My dad didn't know that I came here cause I kinda snuck out and if I am too late when I get back home, I won't be able to have a date until I'm thirty," I explained.
"well than when are we going to call?" Jake asked.
"I wanna be here. Tomorrow after school, we'll go somewhere, and call then," I said rushing out the door to get my shoes on.
"Okay. Bye Miley," Jake said.
"Bye," I said. I looked up and happened to catch his gaze for a moment. For a second there it seemed like nobody had tried to break us up or anything. Just that if I could kiss him one more time, then everything would be okay. I guess he felt the same way, because we were leaning in, closer and closer. I got a few inches away, and we both had our eyes closed, when I pulled back.
Jake opened his eyes and gave me a look that said 'what the hell?'. But I mearily opened the door and invited myself out to walk down the streets to my house. I couldn't know who it was that texted him. I really don't even care. I wasn't going to kiss him (as you could just plainly see) and I wasn't going to go out with him anymore. He still kissed another girl and forgot all about me.
When I got home, I climbed up the ladder to my bedroom. I looked around. The coast was clear.
"Phew. I'm safe," I said falling onto my bed.
"Not so fast," someone said. I jumped up and looked towards my door where dad was standing along with Jackson, both of their arms folded.
The next morning I looked around my spotless room. Well, everything was spotless, considering I cleaned it all before having to go to bed as a punishment. I was not grounded since I completed the bathrooms, my room, and the living room before going to bed at twelve thirty last night. Shh! Dad doesn't know how late I stayed up to finish it. I got changed and got my butt off to school.
The first thing I did was run into Lilly.
"Lilly! Omigosh I have so much to tell you," I said taking in deep breaths when I got to her.
"Okay, shoot," she said.
"Well, Jake and I found out that someone texted him posing as me, saying that I wanted to break up," I said.
"No way! What did the person say when you called him?" she asked.
"Well...we haven't really called him yet," I admitted.
"What?! You have to know," she said.
"I know I know, but I had to get home quick," I said shortening up the story.
"So I take it you guys are back together?" Lilly asked.
"No. I still don't know if I can totally believe it all. I have to know for sure before any thing like that can happen," I said.
Lilly nodded.
"oh."
After school, I waited outside on the steps. It wasn't cold like yesterday, and was perfect to be outside without a coat on. I was waiting for Jake so we could deside on where to go to find out who the person was who called. Finally I saw his mushroom colored head pop out about the others.
"Hey Jake, where do you wanna go?" I asked.
"Huh?" he asked.
"You know, you find out where we are going to call the person," I said.
"You know Miley does it really matter? We aren't together anyway, and it doesn't sound like you want to be no matter what, so why even bother?" he asked.
"I have to know. I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't know," I said. "I barely even slept last night," I complained.
"Okay fine. Let's go to my house, cause I got some stuff I gotta do," he said. I rolled my eyes and how stuck up he was being and such.
"Omigosh there you guys are!!" Lilly said coming over to us and putting her arm around each of our shoulders. "Have you called the number yet?"
I sighed. So did Jake.
"No," we answered flattely.
"Okay, so when are you gonna?" Lilly asked.
"We're going over to Jakes house right now to do that," I answered.
"To do what?" Oliver asked coming up behind Lilly.
"They are going to call that number that texted Jake that Miley wanted to break up with him," Lilly explained.
"Well why not just do that right here?" he asked.
"Yeah, cause then I can know faster, and I REALLY gotta know!" she said bouncing.
I sighed and looked towards Jake who sighed in agreement.
"what's the number?" I asked. I took out my cell and looked at the screen, to the paper as Jake held it up.
"Is it ringing?" Oliver asked.
"Hold on I'll put it on speaker," I said and then hit send. After a few seconds you could hear it ringing. We waited for someone to pick up. All of a sudden, a phone ringing went off, and it was close too. Real close. We looked around. All of a sudden, Lilly's eyes went big. She turned her bag upside down and tried to shut up the ringing sound coming from her bag, but no matter how hard she could it wouldn't stop.
It all made sence now. The fact that she always liked him, and all the clues she dropped about it. It all added up to Lilly. I turned to her to stare at her straight in the face.
"Miley, I swear I didn't do it," she said putting her arms up to chest level.
That was the last words she got out before I-
