Thanks for the reviews, guys! And for those who want to know, my family has a close friend named Ruth who's around eighty, she had two tumors in her brain, and a big one in her lungs. She passed away yesterday. :(

CHAPTER TEN: Tennessee/home

Miley looked out the small cirle airplane window. She really wanted to see Grammy, but she was scared of what she was, or what she had become.

"Please put all trays up and buckle seatbelts." A stewartess said. The little seatbelt light lit up.

She looked at Jackson who was sitting next to her, well, was sleeping next to her. "Jackson!" She pushed him.

"Wha-?"

"We're landing soon, get your seatbelt on!"

Miley wondered what Lilly was doing. She looked at her watch, it read 1:30pm.

Back home Lilly was going to Language Arts, the class that Miley, her and Oliver were in. And, to Miley's delight, Jake.

"So, Lilly." Jake said, coming up to her smoothly.

"Oh, hi, Jake." Even though she liked Jackson, Jake was still up there on the hottie list; but she would never go for it, since he was going out with her best friend!

"So, where's Miley?"

"Oh, she's in Tennessee, actually she should be landing there about...now."

"Oh, why?"

"She didn't tell you? She must not've had enough time to call you. Her Great Grandmother is dying of cancer.

"Oh. Can you give me her cell number? I tried calling her, but I guess that was her home number."

"Sure, it's..."

"People! Take a seat. You should of gotten the talking out of your system at lunch!" Mrs. Lylsenbury snapped.

"MEOW!" Jake imitated a cat about to strike. Lilly laughed, but tried oh, so hard not to flirt!

She wrote: 724-2919 on a sheet of paper and threw it over to Jake. He put it in his pocket.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The teacher stopped abruptly and Lilly fumbled for her pager. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! She cancled the message, thinking: 'Oh, why didn't I turn it on silent! I told Miley to page me when she got there!'

"Mrs. Tresscott, I think you have an unwanted form of treason in your possesion."

Lilly looked at her as if she had just said: "Go jump off a bridge!"

"What?"

"Give my your technical object." She said, using the somewhat english term.

"Oh." Lilly handed her the pager.

"One nights detetion, when do you want it, tonight, or tomorrow?" She asked.

"Tomorrow, Ma'am."

"Don't sass back to make it two detentions, Mrs. Tresscott." She warned.

"I'm not married." Lilly muttered.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, moving on. The semi-colan can be used in many ways, blah, blah, blah..."

Jake went to his locker to get his cell phone. He pulled the piece of paper from his pocket and dialed the number.

"Hello?"

"Miley, hi. This is Jake."

"Oh, hey, Jake! I'm in the car right now, I'm sure you've heard where I am. We're going to our hotel."

"Did you page Lilly earlier?"

"Me? No."

"Really? She got caught in Language Arts."

"By Mrs. Lylsenbury." They said in unison. Miley laughed.

"It's good talking to you."

"Just good? I think it's a priviledge to talk to a star like me." Jake said, being cocky.

"It's one talking to me." Miley said, laughing.

"Well, I'm sorry about your Grammy, I'll think about you--but for now I have to go. Love you , and maybe I'll call you after school. Bye, Miles."

"Bye."

They both hung up. Miley looked out the car window to the home she once knew and sometimes longed for.

"Are we at the hotel yet?" Jackson asked. "I'm starving!"

"Not yet, son. Now let me drive!"

"Can I drive?"

"In a rental? Don't even think about it!"

Miley looked over at her brother. He was wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt and his hair was matted from the plane trip. He was probably thinking about Lilly.

Lilly! Miley had promised to page her when they landed. She took out her pager and typed in:

OUR PLANE LANDED SAFE, THANX 4 TELLING BF. (boy friend.)

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Oh, this wretched...thing!" Mrs. Lylsenbury couldn't figure out how to shut it off. "Kids?" No one looked up from their desks. "People?" BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Ugh!" She cried. She put it in her desk drawer to drown out the sound. After class she called Lilly to her room.

"Take this wretched thing! I don't want to see it ever again!"

Lilly looked at the message and typed back:

Lilly: U ALREADY PGED ME!

Miley: WAT? I DIDN'T!

Lilly: THN WHO DID?

Miley looked at Jackson.

Miley: LET ME CLL U.

Lilly: OK.

"Miley?"

"Yah, it's me."

"Hurry up, I'm going to be late to class!" Lilly worried.

"Okay--I know who paged you earlier."

"Who?"

"Jackson!"

"What!?"

"Yah, do you want to talk to him?"

"No, I have to go."

RRR. "Ugh! She hung up on me!" Miley cried.

Robbie pulled into the parking lot of a hotel. Miley got out of the car to stretch her legs. She looked up at the amazing hotel. It had to have at least fifty floors and it was beautiful! At the front was a really pretty glass dome, that was probably the lobby. The hotel was really big and spread out. There was a big fountain in front, and there were flowers EVERYWHERE.

"Wow, Daddy! It's beautiful!"

"You wouldn't think so if you had to pay the bill." Robbie joked.

"I've got the bags, Dad." Jackson said, fumbling with the awkward suitcases.

"No money, Jackson! Miley, help your brother. I'm going to check in."

Miley took her bag away from Jackson and then he dropped the other bags. They were room number 501 on the top floor. Robbie opened the door, Miley's jaw dropped. There was a kitchen/living room, and on the left side there was a room, and there was another one on the right side. Near the back, by the sliding glass door there was a room, and on the other side there was a bathroom. The main room was nicely furnished and had a huge TV.

"Wow." Miley said.

"Wow." Jackson repeated.

"Stop it."

"Stop it."

"Er!"

"Er!"

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"Ugh!" Miley picked up her suitcase and picked out the room on the left in the back. It was painted a baby blue, had a circle bed with a ligth purple canopy, it had a nicely sized TV and a purple love seat in the corner.

"This is my room!" She called to the others. she went to open the closet, it was a huge walk-in. There was a beautiful white vanity-(a desk-thing with a mirror)

Miley was in awe. She took an hour to set up all her stuff. She looked at the clock, it was four. Now she could call Lilly. She dialed the number. It rang and rang, but nobody answered. That's odd. She thought.

Meanwhile: Lilly was on top of Oliver (both fully clothed) lying on the bed. They were making out. Then, Pump'in Up the Party started playing.

"Are you gonna get that?" Oliver asked her.

"I'll call them back later," Lilly said, licking and kissing Oliver's ear as he nuzzled her neck. (A/N: I know it's disgusting and TMI, but stay with me here.)

Hoped you liked it, especially the twist at the end. Please review, and read when I update!
