CHAPTER FOURTEEN: DESPIRATION
Name: Lilly Truscott: am I falling for him?
The movie actually started off pretty good. It was Ben that made it even better. He was mocking scenes that had Jake saying corny lines which made me laugh a little too loud
"Shhhh," Everyone said. Matt and Johnny Collins were in the row behind us. Johnny came with his groupies who were upset about Jake turning them down and Matt was there with Amber.
Matt leaned forwards and whispered, "Some people, unlike two I see, are trying to watch the movie"
"Dude no way. Is that what everyone's doing? Nooo way." He said after he heard Matt. I swear Ben is the coolest guy ever.
The movie started to get boring for us because we weren't as obsessed with Jake. Mostly everyone was just watching the movie because of Jake… and his hotness. Oliver and Becca fell asleep… She was leaning on him and he leaned his head onto hers. Boy were they snoring loud which just caused more shhsh-ing.
I felt Ben was staring at me and whenever I'd look, he'd turn away. Then he held my hand for the rest of the movie and never let go.
Name: Miley Stewart: nope. Not jealous AT ALL
Ashley had rested her head on Jake's chest and "posed" as people pulled out their phones to take pictures.
"Jakey" she said in a loud yet sweet voice. Then she pouted, "I'm kind of thirsty"
"Okay hun," Jake stretched, "mmmm you know I'm kind of thirsty too."
Surprisingly everyone reached and offered their drinks to Ashley and Jake.
"'I want each and every one of you to think of me as someone just like you' I remembered that was one of the first things he said when he first came to Seaview Middle. Oh yeah sure Jake we're just like you" I said in my head
Dex put his head on my shoulder and whispered, "Everything okay?" Then he brushed my hair off my face
"Yeah… and you?"
"Never been better," he said. Then our eyes locked. Maybe I am over Jake. We leaned forward towards each other and… we kissed
Name: Jake Ryan: YES OKAY YES I still love her
Everyone reached and offered their drinks to us. Hah, this is sure to make Miley jealous
I turned to see what Miley was doing and… she… was kissing… him. Just stab me in the heart why don't ya. I can't really blame her though. I was the one who walked out…I wonder if she told him the "oh so important, can't trust anyone" secret. That would definitely suck. Why didn't I just apologize? Why didn't we just makeup?
I sighed and Ashley noticed, "Oh you must be tired honey. Don't worry the movie's almost over sweetie."
Then everyone was whispering "oh isn't she sweet" "Ashley's so pretty and nice" "I wish I were Ashley." OH PLEASE WOULD THEY JUST SHUT UP?
----------------------------------------------------
As everyone got up to leave I saw Dex with his arms wrapped around Mile as they were leaving. Trying to get pass everyone saying "Great movie Jake" pshh. Suck ups I saw Oliver, Ben, and Lilly walking out having been caught in the crowd of people trying to exit.
"Hey Ashley, I'll meet you outside" I said. She said okay so I ran over to the trio
"Hey guys," I said. I hope at least they were still talking to me
"H-Hey Jake," Lilly said hesitantly looking around to make sure Miley wasn't around
Ben crossed his arms, "What do you want now Jake? Haven't you said enough?"
"Look I'm sorry guys. That day was just supposed to be about me saying sorry to Miley because I thought Ben was her boyfriend"
"WHAT?!" Lilly and Ben said before they started to laugh. Oliver, having already known that didn't really laugh as much
"Yeah… but then her aunt came and I don't know, the conversation changed and-"
"You don't have to explain from there Jake. We kind of sort of were hiding," Lilly said
"-In the bushes right next to the porch… So yep, everything we heard was crystal clear," Ben added
"Oh…w-wwell. I just was wondering if Miley was still… mad," I stuttered
"Well if you ask meeee, I'd say 'why don't you just ask her yourself,'" Oliver said
"C'mon Oliver. You of all people should know she wouldn't tell the truth to me. Especially not when she's-"
"Mad? Ding! Ding! Ding! not only do we have an actor, we have a genius in the theatre" Ben finished giving a sarcastic look. Okay. So she's still mad
"Look, I'm sorry okay"
"Jake. Just tell her that. Trust me. Just tell her you're sorry" Ben said only this time it seemed more sincere
"Look Jake, let's have a… guy-to-guy talk," Oliver said as he put one of his arm around my shoulder and turned us so we faced away from the group, "You still like Miley even after you walked out on her?
"yea," I stared at Oliver not knowing where this was going
(To make it easier to understand I put the format of speech differently for now)
Oliver:"And when you left you were really mad that she wouldn't tell you this 'secret'"
Jake:"Yea"
Oliver:"But you left"
Jake:"YES OLIVER"
Oliver:"Well then why would you expect her to come back to you?"
Jake:"I don't know I-I just thought that-"
Oliver:"So did something happen while I was asleep?"
Jake:"When?"
Oliver:"During your movie"
Jake:"You slept during MY movie?"
Oliver:"Uh-duh. And stop avoiding the question"
Jake:"Okay. Miley kissed Dex"
Oliver:"Ooo good luck" Oliver started to walk away
Jake:"Wait I don't get it. Why did you want to have a 'guy-to-guy' talk?"
Oliver:"Oh I just wanted to know what happened while I was asleep" he said as if nothing was wrong
Okay switching back to regular format now. It's still continuing Jake's P.O.V.)
"Oliver I…I need your help." I begged
"With what?" he asked. Oh my goodness gracious I think I wanna slap this kid. So I did on the shoulder
"Owwww. Now why would you do that to the person you need help from?" he asked rubbing his shoulder, "Listen Jake, take Ben's advice and just tell Miley you're sorry. The worst thing that can happen is you'll be where you are now. Lonely and confused. Without the girl you love. Lost with a-"
"OKAY OLIVER I GET IT"
"Well gotta go. Good luck" Oliver said as he left
