I'd like to thanks those of you who have been reviewing, It means a lot to me :-) Ok, anyways, I read something really cool in a magaizine I bought. They asked Emily Osment "How would you descrive Lilly?" and she said- "She's very, very sporty and she loves hanging out with Miley, she's her best friend. They hang out together and they're made for each other because Lilly is very "go get 'em" and she sheds light everywhere and Miley is this little careful sould and she probably gets straight A's. They make a perfect match because they're completely different." -- Made for each other.. Perfect match.. Hmm..they need to stop with the teasing lol. I donno, I just thought that was fun to read. It made me think "Oh come on! Put them together!" lol, anyways, enought with my babbling. Here's my next chapter, hope you enjoy it:-)
Chapter 7-
The next day at school, Miley was a total zombie; the rumors going around about her didn't help her mood either. She approached her locker, leaned against it, and took in a deep breath to keep herself from crying. That's when double trouble approached her.
"Aww, poor little Miley is so sad," Amber said, faking sympathy.
"I'm not in the mood, Amber…" Luckily for Miley, Oliver rounded the corner.
"Oh, but I bet you're in the mood to kiss other guys. It's hard to believe that little Ms. Miley Sunshine turned into Ms. Miley Slut-shine," Amber and Ashley laughed.
Miley whipped around, "Shut up!" She was about to throw a punch at her when Oliver pulled her back.
"Miley, stop! It's not worth it," he held onto her tightly.
"Let me go," she said bitterly.
"No," he looked up at Amber and Ashley, "You two…leave."
Amber and Ashley walked away, still laughing, and disappeared in the crowd of students.
Oliver turned Miley around so she was facing him, "Miley, you need to calm down. I know what they said was way out of line, but you can't get yourself suspended."
"Who cares…" she pulled herself away from him.
"Look; it's Friday, school's almost done for the day, and you're going to hang out with Lilly later. Just ignore those two, okay?"
"I wouldn't exactly call it hanging out. It's more like me begging on my hands and knees for her to fully forgive me or whatever…"
"She's not mad at you anymore. But, she still wants time to think."
"Think about what?" They both started heading towards class.
"She thinks you still like Jake in a way."
"I told her yesterday I didn't," Miley rubbed her eyes.
"Well, she's still afraid that you do," they finally got to their classroom.
Miley froze at the doorway when she saw Lilly sitting at her desk with her head down in her arms. She slowly walked over and sat in her seat behind her, "…Lilly?"
Lilly's head popped up and she turned around, "Oh…hey…"
Miley fiddled with her pencil, "So…are you still going to the beach later?"
Lilly smiled a little, "Of course I am," she gently placed her hand on Miley's and whispered, "You know I still love you, right?"
Miley smiled for the first time in pretty much twenty-four hours, "…Really?"
She smiled more, "Well, yea. How could I not?"
"…Cos I'm a bitch," her sad look returned.
"Hey, I just got you to smile. I miss your smile…"
"I can't smile knowing I upset you, Lil."
"I got over that, kind of, after hearing all those nasty rumors about you…I told them they weren't true."
"It's not going to change anything…"
Lilly was about to say something when their teacher entered the room, "Alright class, for today I want you to read chapter five. No talking; now read," he sat at his desk.
The class groaned as they pulled out their books. About twenty minutes into class, a note fell onto Miley's desk. She looked around and slowly opened it; it read- 'Are you really pregnant with Jake's baby? -Kate.' Miley turned around quickly to face Kate Randalls, "What?!"
The teacher looked up at Miley, "Ms. Stewart, I said no talking."
Miley jumped up from her seat, leaving the note on her desk and ran out of the classroom as tears streamed down her face. Lilly stood up and picked up the note; she read it and anger took over her. She looked at her classmates, "I don't know what you all think, but Miley didn't do anything with Jake! He kissed her, that's it!" She stormed out of the classroom to find Miley. Lilly ran into the bathroom, "Miley? Are you in here?"
Miley came out of a stall and threw herself at Lilly; crying on her shoulder.
Lilly leaned up against the wall and slid down to the floor, bringing Miley with her, "Shh…it's okay…"
Miley held Lilly tighter, "I-I'm sorry, Lilly…I want t-to take it all back…" she said while crying.
Tears lined up in Lilly's eyes, "Let's just forget about that, Miles, okay? It's not a big deal anymore."
Miley glanced up at Lilly, "Yes it is…I hurt you, and…I'll never forgive myself for it…"
"We can get through this, Miles…We'll set things straight with people…and then I'm going to kick Jake's ass."
Miley laughed a little, "You always know how to make me laugh."
"Well I want to see you smile. You've been so miserable and it's killing me."
"I guess we're both on the same page," she placed her hand on Lilly's stomach.
"Just how it's supposed to be," Lilly rested her head on Miley's.
"…Does this mean things are good with us?"
"Yea, it does."
Miley lifted her head from Lilly's shoulder, "…Can I kiss you?..."
Lilly smiled warmly at her, "You don't need to ask me that question, Miles."
Miley grinned as she leaned in and gently placed her lips on Lilly's. The kiss was slow and passionate; both girls getting lost in the moment. Lilly ran her hand through Miley's soft hair and grinned as she felt Miley's hand sneak its way up her shirt.
"Like that, Lilly?" Miley smiled.
"What I like is seeing you happy again. We should probably head back to class though…I told them off before I came here to find you."
"Aww…you're so sweet," she kissed her again.
Lilly and Miley helped each other get up, "So…are you going to be okay?"
"As long as I have you," they shared a hug and one more kiss before heading back to class.
After classes ended, the girls headed towards their lockers; Sarah ran up to them, "Hey, Miley, Lilly…were you goin'?" she asked nervously.
"To our lockers," Miley replied, "Why?"
"There's uh…something written on your locker…"
"…Like what?"
Sarah sighed, "Come with me," she led Miley and Lilly to their lockers. "That's what," she pointed at Miley's locker.
Miley's mouth hung open, "What?!" There, on her locker, someone spray painted the word 'slut' on it.
"No way!" Lilly yelled. "No WAY! I'm so going to find out who did this and"--
"Lilly," Miley interrupted, "I think we both know who did this," she said sadly.
"Well, they're not getting away with this."
"I already told the principal about this," Sarah added. "And I told him it might've been Amber, Ashley, or Jake.
Miley smiled, "Thanks, Sarah."
"No problem. And don't worry about those rumors too much. People are starting to not believe them anymore."
"Good," Lilly said. "I guess my words got to them."
"I'm guessing," Sarah looked at her watch. "Well, my Mom should be here soon. See you two on Monday."
"Bye," they both said as Sarah left. "She's such a good friend," Miley smiled.
"Yea. She's my favorite hippie," Lilly added with a smile.
Miley laughed, "Mine too. Come on, let's head home."
They walked home holding hands the whole time. Miley felt so much better, and so did Lilly. Lilly glanced at Miley, "Hey, um…do we still have to go to the beach later or are you going to give me whatever it is you're going to give me at your house?"
"I still want it to be at the beach. It'll be more romantic that way," she smiled.
Lilly laughed to herself, "I see…" They got to Lilly's house, "So, I'm guessing I don't get to see you until seven?"
"That's right," Miley leaned in and kissed her. "I'll see you in a few hours."
"Okay," Lilly grinned, "Bye."
"Bye," Miley waved goodbye and walked off to her house. When she got there, she happily walked in, "Hi, Daddy."
Robbie Ray looked at his daughter with confusion, "You seem happier. Did you and Lilly work things out?"
"Yea," Miley sighed happily, "In the girls' bathroom."
"Whoa! I don't want to hear about that, Miles," he said with a look of disgust.
Miley's face turned red, "No, no, no! I didn't mean that! We talked things out in the bathroom, nothing happened."
"Oh…okay," he felt a tad embarrassed himself.
"Can I borrow Lucky Lulu tonight?" she asked, changing the subject.
"Absolutely, darlin'," he smiled. "Are you playin' that song for Lilly?"
"Yea. And I'm glad to say that I won't be playing it just so she'll forgive me."
"That's great, bud. Good luck tonight; I'm heading off to a meeting in a few."
"Alright," Miley walked over and picked up Lucky Lulu, "I'm gonna go practice. Have fun at the meeting."
"Will do; bye, bud," he walked out the door with his briefcase and eventually drove off.
Miley ran up to her room to go practice. She wanted it to be as perfect as possible; because that's what Lilly deserved- the best.
At Lilly's house, a few hours later, Lilly rushed downstairs, "Mom??"
Mrs. Truscott walked out of the kitchen, "Yea Lilly?"
"How do I look?" she spun in a circle.
She smiled, "You look lovely, Lilly."
"Are you sure? I'm just so nervous. I don't know what she has planned. I want to look nice, are you sure I"—
"Lilly!" her Mom laughed. "You're rambling. You look just fine. Now you better get goin' before you're late."
Lilly took a deep breath, "Okay."
"And remember, if you want to stay at her house, or vise versa, you can."
Lilly smiled, "Thanks, Mom. Bye," she left and headed down to the beach. She got a text from Miley saying that she'd be in their 'special spot'. Lilly grinned and walked a little faster to see Miley. Her smile grew when she saw Miley, "Hey you."
Miley smiled as she held the guitar behind her back, "Hey."
Lilly walked up to her and kissed her, "Whatcha hiding?"
"Just part of your surprise. Sit," she smiled as she knelt down. Lilly sat down next to her; Miley pulled the guitar into position.
Lilly grinned, "Miley"—
Miley placed her finger on Lilly's lips, "Lemme talk," she smiled again. "I wrote this song for you because, well…things have been pretty scary ever since Jake came back. We've both been scared for each other and I'm afraid of losing you just as much as you've been scared of losing me. But…this is so you know that I simply couldn't live without you…" she started playing the song—
'I walk around like a nervous wreck
I'm a fool, but what the heck
I'm standing here up to my neck in desire
I wanna call, want you to know
What I'm feeling in my soul
Girl, I tried, but I can't control this fire
It's killing me
You're all I see
One life is not enough
You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love
I've been searching all my life
Just to feel this way inside
Now that I do I just can't hide no more
The touch, the feel of your skin
Makes me feel alive again
And it shakes me to the core
It's killing me
You're all I see
One life is not enough
You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love
I just wanna hold you
For the rest of my life
You're all I need, the air I breathe
I can't live without your love
Can't live without your love
I walk around like a nervous wreck
I'm a fool, but what the heck
I can't live without your love
I wanna call, want you to know
What I'm feeling in my soul
I can't live without your love'
Miley was looking at Lilly the whole time she sang. When she finished, she set the guitar down on top of the guitar case, and took Lilly's hand in hers. "I love you, Lilly. With everything I have…" she said with tears in her eyes.
Tears were flowing freely down Lilly's cheeks as her smile grew, "I love you too, Miles. With all my heart." She leaned in and kissed Miley deeply. Both girls wrapped their arms around each other and fell over to the ground; Lilly on top of Miley. Nothing else was needed to be said from that point on.
Moments later, after getting dressed, they laid down in the sand cuddling with each other, looking up at the night sky. "Looks kind of cloudy," Lilly said softly.
"Yea…I should probably put my Dad's guitar in its case incase it starts raining."
"That would be a good idea," Lilly sat up so Miley could get up.
Miley sat up and reached for Lucky Lulu and placed it in the case and securely shut it, "There we go, nice and safe."
Lilly grinned and looked back up at the sky, "I wish the stars were showing. Rainy clouds aren't very romantic."
"The rain can be romantic," Miley said as she put her head on Lilly's shoulder.
"Yea, I suppose," they sat there for a little while longer before both girls felt raindrops coming down. Lilly laughed, "Speaking of rain…"
Miley also laughed, "I suppose that means we should head home."
Lilly got up and helped her girlfriend get up. Just then, the rain started to come down a little more, "We're going to be drenched by the time we get home."
Miley grinned, "There's nothing wrong with that," she went up behind Lilly, picked her up, and spun her around. Lilly shrieked from the sudden surprise and laughed. By now, the rain was coming down pretty hard. When Miley stopped spinning, they fell to the ground, causing them to laugh more. When their laughter calmed down, Miley turned to Lilly, "Ever dream of kissing in the rain?"
Lilly looked at her, still smiling, "Only with you."
She leaned in and pressed her lips against hers. They stayed like that for several seconds before Miley pulled away, "Stay with me for the weekend…"
"My Mom said I could," she said with a smile.
Miley's smile grew, "Perfect. Let's go," they got up, she grabbed the guitar case, and they practically ran home, laughing pretty much the whole way.
Meanwhile—
Jake laid on his bed attempting to do his homework when his phone started vibrating. He picked it up, "Hello?" he said tiredly.
"Hey, Jake; it's Amber. I'm just calling to let you know that Monday will work just fine."
He evilly grinned, "Excellent. So, how are you going to try to distract people?"
"Well, we don't know if everyone will disappear from you, but the principal and some teachers will. But anywho, I'm going to have The Cracker pretend to start up a fight with Dandruff Danny. Then, Ashley will go to the principal and play 'nice' so he'll arrive. It's foolproof; then I'll text you."
"Sounds great. Thanks, Amber."
"No problem. But…what exactly are you going to do?"
"That I can't tell you. But, you'll know on Monday."
"…Okay…" Amber started to feel a little unsure about this. But, she wasn't going to back down. After all, she was helping the one and only, Jake Ryan.
"Don't worry, Amber. It's all going to turn out just fine."
"If you say so. Anyways, I gotta go. Talk to you later," she said flirty.
"Yea, bye," he replied nicely. They hung up and Jake put his phone on his nightstand. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face; his plan would finally be put into full action on Monday. Jake looked at a picture of him and Miley again, "Say goodbye to your little girlfriend, Miley…"
Ohh, cliffhanger! Lol, sorry about that. But, I should have the next chapter up very soon. I've been waiting a long time to write the next chapter. Let me know what ya think :-)
Also: The song "Can't Live Without Your Love" is by Billy Ray Cyrus, I make no claims to it at all. Plus I adore that song:-)
