⌠So, I see nothing in this room has changed.■ Jake picked up Beary from it▓s place on her bed and waved it in his hand. She smiled before reaching over and grabbing it out of his hand.
⌠Hey, he suffered a major injury not too long ago. Be gentle with him.■ Miley hugged beary to her chest.
⌠It▓s a good thing your adorable, or else I would totally be making fun of you right now.■ Jake sat on the edge of her bed, as an awkward silence filled the room.
⌠So, you and Oliver...?■ Jake continued.
⌠We▓re over.■ Miley sat next to him and looked at her hands that were sitting on her lap. She sighed.
⌠It▓ll be okay. He is a real jerk, you deserve better than that, Miley.■ Jake moved to be closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
⌠I know. He has been my best friend for a really long time, and it▓s going to make things really awkward for Lily. She is going to have to pick a side, even if she doesn▓t want too.■ Miley whispered sadly to him.
⌠You need a break from all of this, so why don▓t you and I take a day trip to Santa Barbara and enjoy the beach.■ Jake suggested. Miley looked at him. She was a little shocked.
⌠Tomorrow?■ She asked, and Jake nodded. ⌠I don▓t know Jake.■
⌠It▓ll be fun, we can just get away for the day, and I▓ll take care of everything. You really need this break, Miley, please let me to take you out for the day. I grantee you will feel better when you get back.■ Jake seemed genuinely concerned about her; she▓d never really seen that side before.
So they went, the next day. They had just had a beach side lunch and were now walking on the beach. Miley was looking out onto the ocean when Jake walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She didn▓t bother turning around, knowing who it was. She grabbed a hold of his hand in her own and sniffled, trying to hold back the tears. Chapter 9: Getting Together
⌠Your going to be okay, Miley.■ Jake said as she wiped the tears that had already fallen.
⌠I know. Thank you for today, Jake. You▓re a really good friend. I had a great time.■ Miley turned around to face him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
⌠Anytime, we can do something this week. Maybe see a movie, or you can teach me some of those killer dance moves.■ Miley laughed as he grabbed her hand and they started to walk on the beach again, as the sun was setting.
⌠You look so beautiful against the sun light.■ Jake spoke softly to Miley, her face glowing in the reflection. Miley blushed as she looked down at the sand
⌠Your making me blush, quit it.■ Miley smiled as she slightly pushed him.
⌠I meant it.■ Jake said, confidently.
⌠Thank you, Jake. I can see you have really changed. Your aren▓t the Jake Ryan you once were.■ Miley closed her eyes, and rested her head on his shoulder.
⌠I▓ve really tried to change, so I could be worthy of you.■ Jake told Miley, as she looked him straight in the eye.
⌠We better head back┘..■ Miley was cut off by Jake▓s lips that collided with hers.
Taken by surprise it took Miley a few minutes to realize what was going on. She kissed back after a few moments. They broke apart shortly after, both of them breathing deeply.
⌠Wow.■ Was all Miley could mention to say.
⌠Miles, I▓m still in love with you.■ Jake whispered to her.
⌠I knew it.■ Miley laughed and playfully kicked water at him.
⌠Hey!■ He splashed back at her, and she ran away from him, giggling like crazy.
They enjoyed each other▓s company, before heading back home and getting ready for school on Monday. Miley wasn▓t really sure how everything was going to go with her and Jake together now, and Oliver and Lily upset.
Jake picked Miley up for school, and they were now headed for the front doors of the school. Miley let out a nervous sigh as Jake grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. He nodded at her as she lifted her chin and tried her best to smile.
⌠You ready?■ He asked her, as she nodded.
⌠Ready as I▓ll ever be.■ Miley said looking at the doors. She took a deep breath. Jake opened the door for and she walked in, and waited for him to come behind her. As he did she grabbed his hand once again. Ignoring everyone▓s stares, knowing word would travel fast over the weekend about what happened. She waved to a few people before they arrived at her locker; Jake▓s was farther than hers.
⌠Are you going to be okay alone?■ Jake asked her, she nodded and allowed him to lightly kiss her forehead.
⌠I▓ll be fine, go ahead.■ Miley kissed him lightly before he disappeared down the hall. Lily quickly walked over to Miley, as Oliver was watching from his locker, across the hall.
⌠What are you doing kissing Jake Ryan?■ Lily asked, her voice shrill.
⌠He took me to Santa Barbara over the weekend and we got back together. It wasn▓t really planned, but I▓m happy.■ Miley leaned against her locker and sighed in contentment.
⌠And what about Oliver and you?■ Lily asked, whispering Oliver▓s name.
⌠You heard Lily, we are over.■ Miley said sternly, and slammed her locker shut and walked away. Lily looked back over at Oliver and then back at Miley, who was walking away. This wasn▓t going to turn out good.
