Hello, here's chapter 6:-) Hope ya like it :-)
Chapter 6-
Amber waited impatiently by her locker with Ashley. "He said he'd meet us here like five minutes ago."
"He's not THAT late. Plus, he's Jake Ryan, he can do anything," she smiled.
"Whatever," she sighed. "He's actually getting on my nerves. He won't even tell us what he's actually going to do."
"Speaking of the handsome devil, there he is," she pointed towards him.
"Hey girls, sorry I'm a little late. I had to talk to a teacher."
"Big whoop," Amber snapped. "Just tell us what you wanted to tell us."
"Alright, geesh," Jake said defensively. "A couple days ago, I got the thing I needed for my master plan. This means I'm planning to act on it on Monday."
"So soon?" Ashley questioned.
"Well, if it all goes well with your guys' part. I just want to get this over with because Lilly seriously pisses me off."
"No duh, she's a loser," Amber added. "So, anyways, what exactly do you need us to do?"
"You two have to create a big distraction for the teachers, principal, and everyone else. I need them out of the hallway where the lockers are; especially Lilly's and Miley's."
Amber smiled, "I already know how to distract them."
"Perfect," he put his arm around Amber's shoulder and the other around Ashley's. "Thank you both for helping me."
"We better get something really good out of this," Amber smiled.
"We'll see," he rolled his eyes.
"But, uh…We might need more time. Monday might be too soon."
"Fine. Just let me know when you got it all figured out. Then we'll go from there."
"Sounds good," the sound of the bell interrupted them.
"I'll see you two ladies later," he gave them a quick smile and walked off to class. Once he rounded the corner, he froze. There she was, alone at her locker. For once Lilly wasn't glued to her. He took a deep breath and walked over slowly, "…Hey…"
Miley turned around and fear took over, "What do you want?..."
"To apologize…" he looked her in the eyes. "I hate myself for hurting you. I know I overreacted, but…I just really don't like Lilly."
"Well get over it. She didn't do anything wrong, you did. And just so you know, my neck is badly bruised," she shut her locker.
Jake looked down, "How can I make it up to you?"
"There's really nothing you can do. Except get over me and move on."
"…One last kiss?"
Miley looked at him like he was stupid, "Are you crazy? I'm not going to kiss you; I'm with Lilly."
"That's all I'm asking, Miley. Please…"
She started walking towards class and he followed, "That would be called cheating on my girlfriend. So, I'm not going to do that."
"If you do, I'll leave you two alone…" he gave her a hopeful smile.
"Is that a promise?" she was really starting to get annoyed with him.
"Absolutely. I really hate hurting you, Miley. And if I get one last kiss, maybe I can find peace within myself."
She stopped walking, "What if Lilly found out?"
"She doesn't have to know. Please Miley…Just one last kiss," he looked as pathetic as he possibly could.
Miley bit her bottom lip; then, she leaned in and gave him a soft, gentle kiss. 'What am I doing?...'
Jake put his hand behind her head to deepen the kiss. 'Yes, she fell for it.'
Amber peeked around the corner holding her cell phone. She smiled evilly and took the picture. Quickly, she hid behind the corner and showed Ashley the picture, "Think Lilly will like it?"
"Absolutely," they both laughed and Amber sent the picture to Lilly's phone.
Jake broke the kiss, "Sorry…a little longer than I planned."
Miley's heart ached; she couldn't believe she actually kissed him. "I…I have to get to class…" tears built up in her eyes and she ran off.
Lilly cupped her mouth with her hands to hide her yawn. She glanced at the clock; they still had about a half hour of class left. She hated this class; Miley wasn't in it with her. She jumped a little as she felt her phone vibrate. Slowly, she took it out of her pocket and opened it, 'A pix message?' She opened the picture. Her heart sank; she couldn't believe what she was seeing. She didn't even hear the teacher call on her.
"Ms. Truscott? Can you read the next paragraph please?"
Lilly stared blankly into space. Oliver turned around and noticed how pale she looked.
The teacher walked over to her, "Are you okay Ms. Truscott?"
Still no answer; but, Oliver noticed tears building up in her eyes, "Lilly?"
"Mr. Oken, can you escort her to the office?"
"Yea…sure," he stood up and pulled Lilly up. They left the classroom and tears rolled down her face. "Lilly?" Oliver stopped in the hallway, looking at her, "What's wrong?"
Lilly blinked furiously to hold back her tears as she held up her cell phone. "S-she…" she started crying more.
Oliver's mouth hung open and his eyes widened. He took Lilly's phone to get a better look at it; Miley was definitely kissing back. Oliver looked up at Lilly and pulled her into a hug, "I'm so sorry, Lilly…" He looked around and noticed Miley rush into the bathroom. She didn't even notice them. He gently had Lilly sit on the floor against the wall, "I'll be right back," he headed towards the girls bathroom. When he walked in he heard Miley throwing up, "Miley?"
After a few moments she stopped throwing up and came out of the stall. She looked at Oliver with her tear streaked face, "What are you doing in here?" her voice cracked from crying.
"To ask you why you're kissing Jake behind Lilly's back," he said harshly.
"…How do you know about that?" she wiped her eyes.
"Don't ask me. Ask Lilly…you know…your girlfriend."
Miley panicked, "She knows?!?"
"Yea, she does! How could you do this to her?! Especially after how Jake's been acting!!"
"I didn't want to!"
"Whatever, Miley…" he turned around to leave.
"Oliver, he tricked me, okay?!"
"I'm not the one you need to talk to," he left.
She quickly left the bathroom to follow him, "Oliver, I…" she froze when she saw Lilly. Lilly looked at her with bloodshot eyes, it broke Miley's heart. "Lilly…" Lilly got up and started walking away. Miley chased after her, "Lilly, wait!"
Lilly whipped around, "How…How could you do this to me?!"
"He tricked me somehow. Lilly, you have to believe me…"
"Then explain this picture!" she held up her cell phone, "Looks like you're kissing him back!"
Miley sighed and looked at Oliver, "Can we be alone, please?"
"Fine…" he squeezed Lilly's shoulder and left the two girls alone to talk.
Lilly headed towards the bathroom and Miley followed her. "Look, Lilly…This was all just a big misunderstanding…"
"…You were kissing him back, weren't you…"
"I, uh…" she looked down, "I…I started it…"
"…Wow, that's so much better. Now everything's perfect!" Lilly snapped back sarcastically.
"No, it's not like that…he said if I gave him one last kiss he'd leave us alone. I did it to protect you, Lilly…I feel horrible about it…I was just in here a few minutes ago throwing up…"
Lilly looked down, "…You still didn't have to kiss him…"
Miley walked closer to her, "I know…Once it happened, I realized I was making a huge mistake. I just really want him to leave us alone…Mostly; I just want him to leave you alone…"
Lilly leaned against the wall, "I believe you…but…"
"…But what?" Miley's heart was racing.
"I just…need some time to think…Maybe we should just…take a break…" a tear escaped from her eye.
Tears flowed from Miley's eyes, "N-no…" she put both her hands on Lilly's shoulders, "I made a mistake…it's never going to happen again…We don't have to break up…please, Lilly…"
"I don't want to break up with you…Just a little break…"
"So…we're still together?" she looked hopeful.
"…For now at least…" she looked at Miley. "You really hurt me, Miley…"
"I wasn't trying to do that," she ran her hand through Lilly's hair, "I love you, Lilly…"
"I love you too…I just need some time alone…" she pulled herself away from Miley. "I'm going back to class," she slowly left the bathroom.
Miley slammed her fists against the wall, fell to the floor, and broke down crying.
The rest of the day went by really slow for both girls; especially the last class of the day. Miley constantly went into the bathroom, so their teacher just excused her for the rest of the day. Watching this killed Lilly, but she couldn't stop thinking about what Miley did to her. When class ended, Lilly didn't even bother going to her locker. She didn't care about her homework right now. It wasn't even that important. Oliver caught up with Lilly outside as she waited for her Mom to pick her up.
"Hey, Lilly…how you feelin'?"
"Like someone stabbed me in the heart…"
"I've been texting Miley since she left the classroom earlier. She went home early…apparently she can't stop throwing up."
She sighed, "I feel nauseous too…I don't want to lose her. I just don't know what I should do."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Jake tricked her into it, but I don't blame you for being upset. Just take your time to think things through, okay?"
Lilly gave him a small smile, "I know," her Mom pulled up and honked the horn. "Gotta go."
"Bye, Lilly," Oliver headed off towards his house.
Later, Lilly's Mom parked the car in the driveway and looked at her daughter, "You've been awfully quiet, Lilly. Something wrong?"
"I don't want to talk about it," she got out of the car and headed inside. Lilly slammed her door shut and fell onto her bed; eventually crying herself to sleep.
At Miley's house, Robbie Ray gently knocked on his daughter's door, "Darlin'? How you feelin'?"
"Awful…" she replied.
He opened the door, "You wanna talk about it yet, bud?"
Miley was under her covers, "No…"
He sat at the edge of the bed, "Come on, bud. You're obviously upset about something. Did you and Lilly get into an argument or somethin'?"
She pulled the covers off her head, "…I screwed up, Daddy…" tears kept rolling down her face. "I kissed Jake 'cos he said he'd leave me and Lilly alone if I did, and…and somehow, someone sent a picture of it to Lilly…" she wiped her tears with her covers.
"Did you two break up?" he was completely shocked.
"Not really…she said she wants a break though…"
"I'm sorry, bud. If it helps, I finished up the music for your song. Want me to play it for you?"
She sat up and held her stomach, "Sure…just a sec…" she rushed off towards her bathroom. When she came out, she looked at her Dad, "Is there anything I can take to calm my stomach?"
"Yea, come on," they both headed downstairs. "Maybe some Loco Hot Cocoa will help," he said as he walked into the kitchen.
Miley sat on the couch, slouching, "Sure…"
He walked over to her as he heated up the cocoa, "Things will be alright, bud. Just give it time."
"I just want to take it back and punch Jake in the face."
Robbie Ray sat down and Miley leaned her head on his shoulder. "If your relationship is as strong as I think it is, things will turn out just fine," he pulled her into a hug.
"I hope so," the microwave beeped.
Robbie Ray got up, "Maybe this song will help. I know she's going to love it," he got his daughter's cocoa and brought it to her. "Drink up, kiddo."
"Thanks, Dad…" she sipped on her drink.
Robbie Ray walked over to his guitars and picked up Lucky Lulu, "I hope you like how it sounds, bud," he sat next to her again. He started off the song; the tune was slow, steady, and calm. The words blended perfectly to the music. A smile swept across Miley's face for the first time in a few hours. She closed her eyes to take in the feeling of the music. It was so soothing; she really hoped Lilly would like it. When Robbie Ray finished, he looked at his daughter, "Well? What do you think?"
She opened her eyes and smiled, "I loved it, Daddy. It was perfect."
He leaned Lucky Lulu against the chair next to him, "Good to hear. Is the music simple enough for you to play?"
Miley looked it over, "Yea. It should be." She set the music and her mug down on the coffee table, "I'm gonna go over to Lilly's and try to talk to her…"
Robbie Ray kissed the top of her head, "Alright, bud. Want a ride?"
"I want to walk there…I think I could use the fresh air."
"Okay, but be careful."
"I will…" she got up and slowly headed out the door. She took in the feeling of the light, warm breeze blowing through her hair. Her body was still slightly shaking from getting herself so sick; but the cocoa did seem to help her stomach. Before too long, she arrived at Lilly's house. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Truscott opened the door, "Hello, Miley. Are you here to see Lilly?"
"Yea…" she replied sadly.
"She hasn't said a word since we got home. In fact, she hasn't come out of her room. Maybe seeing you will cheer her up," she shut the door after Miley came inside.
"I doubt that," she mumbled to herself. Miley stumbled up to Lilly's room; softly knocking on the door.
"What?" Lilly snapped.
Miley sighed nervously, "…It's me…"
"…Go away."
"Lilly…" Miley choked back tears, "Please, please talk to me…"
There was a long pause of silence, "…Fine…"
Miley opened the door and slowly closed it behind her. Lilly was lying on her bed, facing the opposite direction. Miley sat on the bed next to her, "I'm really sorry, Lilly…I didn't do this to hurt you."
"Well, you did. Big time…" she turned to face her. Her eyes were puffy and tears were slowly rolling down her face, "I love you, Miley…and I thought you loved me too…"
"I do!" she panicked. "The only reason I kissed him was because he said he'd leave us alone…I thought you said you believed me…" she laid down next to Lilly.
"I do…but you didn't have to do that. It just makes me think you still like him deep down…"
"I don't," she placed her hand on Lilly's. "I'm just worried about you. I made a huge mistake and I'll do anything to make it up to you."
Lilly rolled over and buried her face into Miley's chest, "I'm not ready to stop being mad at you…"
"…Could you at least go to the beach tomorrow after school…around seven?"
"Why?"
Miley wrapped her arms around her, "I started something a few days ago for you and I want to give it to you…"
"…Okay…"
"Well, uh…I guess you want me to leave, huh?..."
"No…not yet…Just stay here a little big longer," Lilly closed her eyes.
"Anything for you…"
After a few moments, both girls fell asleep in each others arms; both hoping that things will turn out for the best. Because there was no way they wanted to be without each other.
Hope you liked it, lemme know what you think :-) Oh, dont be too upset with Miley; she just wants to protect Lilly :-) Thanks for reading:-)
