He's Back

Miley's Right, Nobody's Perfect

"Hey Jake," Miley said as she opened the door for him. "What's up?"

"Can't a guy visit his girlfriend whenever he wants?"

"Yes, he can, now, what's up?"

"I… uhh… kinda' need help on my homework."

"Are you embarrassed?'

"No, well…"

"Don't worry algebra's tricky."

"So, you'll help me?"

"Of course."

They sit down on her couch. "Ok," she said once they got the books open.

"2x – 4h 5h + 9x. Whoa," Miley said. "Ok, so you…" Miley helped him through his homework, with a little bit of trouble herself. She usually got something around an A- and he usually got something around a B-.

Once they were done, she asked, "So, you want to hear a song I've been working on?"

"Sure."

She went over to the door and grabbed her guitar.

(Pretend it wasn't out yet)

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days

1, 2, 3, 4

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin' about
Everybody gets that way
(repeat)

Sometimes I'm in a jam
I gotta make a plan
It might be crazy
I do it anyway

The way to know for sure
I figure out a cure
I'm patchin' up the holes
But then it overflows

If I'm not doin' too well
Why be so hard on myself

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again 'til I get it right
Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I messed it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I work a scheme
But then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned
Get stuck in quicksand

The problem can be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it

"Wow, that's really good."

"Thanks, it's about half finished."

"It's great, the beginning's kind of… different."

"Bad-different?"

"No, not at all, just different."

"Thanks."

"Listen, I have to go, my mom's probably already got dinner ready."

"Ok, bye," she said kissing him lightly.

"Bye, love you!"

"Love you too!" she called as he walked out the door.

She went to the bathroom and groaned.

The next day, Miley and Lily were "sick." Jake was kind of worried so he called Miley after school.

"Hello?" she answered irritably.

"Um, hi Miles, it's Jake.'

"Oh, you."

"Yeah, me.'

"What do you want?"

"I was just wondering if you were ok."

"I'm fine!"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, why would there be something wrong?"

"You sound mad, did I do something?"

"I don't know, did you?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Miley, what's wrong?'

"Nothing, bye, love you."

"Love you too."

Hmm, that was weird I wonder what's wrong. I'll call Lily. She always knows what's going on with Miley.

"Hello?" Lily picked up after about the millionth ring.

"Hey, Lils.'

"Oh, you."

"Yeah, do you know what's going on with Miley, she seemed a little weird.?"

"No, why do guys always assume there's something wrong with Miley the second she says something a little weird? Why is that Jake? Huh?"

"I don't know?" he said, hoping that was the right thing to say.

"That's because you don't know anything Jake. Do you!" she yelled.

"What?"

"Whatever!" she said hanging up the phone.

That is strange. Miley and Lily never talk to anybody like that. They don't even have a reason to be mad. Or, do they? Did I do something? I'll call Oliver. If he's mad at me, I know I did something.

"Oliver here."

"Hey Oliver."

"Oh, hey Jake, what's up?" he asked nonchalantly.

"You're not mad at me?"

"For what?"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out."

"Huh?"

"Miley and Lily seem irritated with me and I don't know why."

"Hmm, were they saying sort of random things madly, as if the world's destruction would be your fault?"

"Yeah, that's exactly it."

"Oh, I get it, they're-" Oliver stopped himself realizing he could have some fun with this one.

"They're what?"

"I'm not going to tell you; figure it out."

"What, how can I figure it out if I don't know what I did?"

"You didn't do anything."

"Ok, then what's going on?"

"Like I said, figure it out, it's not that hard of an explanation."

"What's your benefit in not telling me?"

"My personal enjoyment," and with that, Oliver hung up.

The rest of the week was confusing for Jake. There were certain times where she would be the sweetest girlfriend in the world, ok, scratch that. She would be her normal sassy self, except for a little bit worse. However, there were other times, most of the time, where she would be completely awful. Jake was getting tired of it. He wanted the old Miley back.

One night when Jake came up to her locker, she seemed different. "Hey Jake," she said sweetly to him. "Hey," Lily, who was there, said kindly.

What the heck? Ok, this is odd. I don't get it. They're both nice. Oh god! I can't take this anymore, with the mood changes and the meanness and the sweetness!

"Miley! What the heck is going on!" he yells, getting the hallway's attention. "I didn't do anything! First, you're nice, then, you're mean! What's up?"

He looked at Miley. She had tears in her eyes. "Dude," Oliver said. "It's not her fault."

"How can it not be her fault?" Everybody was watching, now. Miley walked away, crying.

"Mind your own business!" Jake yelled at the crowd. Jake looked at Rachel, who was smiling. He rolled his eyes. The crowd turned away and went on with everything else. Lily slapped Jake, not too hard, but hard enough so she had his complete attention.

"What was that for?'

"For being stupid and making my best friend cry!"

Oliver spoke up. "Jake listen to me." He was speaking slowly, as if Jake was stupid. "Miley is a girl. Do you get that? A girl."

Jake thought, then got a really guilty expression on his face. "Oh my god, is it that time of month?"

"Ye-es," Lily spoke slowly too.

Jake ran around the corner and found Miley sitting against the wall, having just stopped crying. She saw him. "Jake, I don't like getting yelled at, especially not by you, and especially not when I don't deserve it."

"Miley, I am so sorry. I had no idea that… you know." She giggled.

"Jake, get this. I am a girl. I was on my period, grow up!" she said, half making fun of him, half serious. He smiled and sat down next to her. "I love you, and I'm sorry, again."

"I love you too, and you better be." He laughed and they kissed.

"Oh and Jake, expect the same thing next month."

They walked home, seeing as it was the end of the day. "Hey, Jake you want to hear the rest of that song?'

"I'd love too."

But my intentions are goodyeah yeah yeah
Sometimes just mis-understood

Nobody's Perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again till I get it right
Nobody's Perfect!
You live and you'll learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes...

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it!
I know that i'll find a way.
Nobody's perfect!

Sometimes I fix things up
And they fall apart again.
Nobody's perfect

I know I mix things up
But I always get it right in the end.
You know I do

Talking
Next time you feel like its just one of those days
when you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you planned,
FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT!
Don't stay down! Try again!yeah

Singing
Everybody makes mistakes...
Everybody has those days...
Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' about...
Everybody get's that way...
Everybody makes mistakes...
Everybody has those days...
Everybody knows what what I'm talkin' about...
everybody gets that way

Chorus
Nobody's perfect!
I gotta work it!
Again and again till I get it right
Nobody's perfect!
You'll live and you'll learn it!
And if I mess it up sometimes...
Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
I know that I'll find a way
nobody's perfect
you'll live and you'll learn it
cause everybody makes mistakes

Nobody's Perfect
Nobody perfect no no
Nobody's perfect
