The next morning Miley woke up looking awful. She hadn't gotten any sleep and her face showed it. She decided to play the sick card. With her lack of sleep, she convinced her dad easily that she was sick. She stayed in her room all day trying to figure out what happened. She ignored the four texts she got on her phone.
New Message: Jake
Hey Miley, last night was awesome. Hope to do it again sometime.
New Message: Oliver
Miley are you okay? You haven't seen yourself recently. Me and Lilly are coming over after school.
New Message: Lilly
Miles, why aren't you in school? Are you really sick? Did something happen with Jake yesterday? Plz txt me back!!
New Message: Nick
Miley, Lilly texted me and she said that you aren't in school today. Are you okay? She's really worried about you as am I. Plz answer me.
She was very temped to reply to Nick's message. She really didn't want him to worry. But she had bigger fish to fry. Lilly and Oliver were coming over. What was she going to say? That the real reason why she wasn't in school was that she and Jake had sex the night before? She couldn't say that. She ran out of time. Before she knew it there was a knock on her door.
"Miley? It's me, Lilly. Me and Oliver are here." Lilly called through the door. Miley went over and opened it.
"Hi." She whispered.
"Miley what happened? You look awful!" Oliver said. Miley knew that he wasn't trying to be mean, he was genuinely concerned. She probably did look bad. She hadn't slept at all and she'd spent most of the day pacing around her room crying.
"I'm fine. Really. Thanks for coming over though." Miley sat on the bed. She knew that she couldn't get Lilly and Oliver to go away that easily.
"Miles you can tell us. I know that things haven't been right with you and Jake." Of course Lilly knew. Maybe not the whole story, but she knew that things weren't as romantic as Miley tried to make them seem.
"Well. You know how me and Nick hung out the other day? Jake thought I was cheating on him. We kinda had a fight." Miley sighed. So much more had happened that she couldn't bring herself to say.
"Did you guys break up?" Oliver asked her.
"No." Miley said. "We..uh..made up."
"Than why do you seem so down?" Lilly wanted to know.
Miley decided this was a good time to disclose some of the truth. "I don't know if Jake is the right guy for me."
"What?" Lilly and Oliver exclaimed. Miley just shrugged her shoulders. 'If only they knew.' She thought to herself.
Sorry this one was kinda slow, I have some ideas to build it up. Next one should be up very soon. Maybe even tomorrow!! So anyway, please rate and review!!
Love always,
Alyson
