Chapter 8-
Monday…
Robbie Ray knocked on his daughter's bedroom door, "Miley, Lilly, wakey wakey!"
Miley and Lilly both groaned, not letting go of each other. "Alright, we're up!" Miley hollered back to her father. They heard him leave and she turned her head back to look at Lilly, "Morning beautiful," she leaned in and kissed her.
Lilly smiled, "Man, I don't want to go to school," she rubbed her tired eyes.
"Neither do I. You spoiled me this weekend," Miley grinned.
"You know I can't resist you," she rolled practically on top of her.
"Well, you need to now. We have to get ready for school," she kissed Lilly on the nose.
Lilly smiled, "We still need to take a shower."
"Are you, by any chance, hinting at something sweetheart?" she grinned.
"May-be," she leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Miley's lips.
"Lilly, you know how I feel about making love too much."
"I know, but…I just got this feeling that I should be with you this morning."
Miley brushed her hand against Lilly's cheek, "I'd love to, but we slept in a little. We don't really have the time. How about we take a rain check on it?" she smiled.
Lilly smiled back, "Deal." They both got up out of bed, "Ohh, Miles, can I pick out your outfit for today?"
"Why do I get a feeling you're going to pick out a skirt," she grinned again.
Lilly gave her an innocent look, "Because you know me too well?"
She laughed a little, "You're lucky I love you."
Lilly smiled as she started digging through Miley's clothes. She eventually picked out a denim skirt and a light blue shirt. "Here ya go," she said as she handed it to Miley.
"Thanks, Lil." They both changed and got ready for school. "You know…you should wear skirts more often."
Lilly looked over at her, "Are you crazy? I can't pull off that look."
"I think you could," she took her hand and they headed downstairs.
Lilly smiled, "Well, in that case…I think I'll give it a shot."
She leaned in and kissed her on the cheek, "Can't wait." They reached the kitchen and the smell of pancakes surrounded them. Both girls smiled, "Dad, it smells so good."
Robbie Ray smiled, "I figured pancakes would be a good way to start off the day."
"You figured right," Lilly said happily as she sat down at the table with Miley.
He set the food on the table, "Eat up, girls. Even with me dropping you off at school we might be a little late."
"Don't worry, Daddy. We'll be just fine." They continued on with breakfast; eventually, they finished and the three of them headed out.
"Have a nice day at school, girls," Robbie Ray said as the girls got out of the car.
"We will," Miley waved.
"See ya later, Mr. S," Lilly said and also waved goodbye.
He waved back and drove off. The girls linked hands and walked into the school. When they reached their lockers, Miley was relieved to see that the spray paint was removed, "Look, Lilly, they actually got it off."
"Good. I'm still going to kick Amber and Ashley's butts though."
Miley smiled, "Thanks, hun, but I won't let you."
"How come?" Lilly asked, slightly confused.
"Because, you'd get suspended and I'd miss you."
"Aww," Lilly smiled. "I'd miss you too," she leaned in to kiss Miley when Amber and Ashley walked by.
"None of that in the hallway," Ashley said rudely.
"I will if I want to," Lilly snapped.
Miley noticed Amber seemed distant, "No snappy remark from you?"
Amber looked up at them, "Huh? Oh…um, yea, what she said," she pointed at Ashley.
Miley gave her an odd look, "You don't seem like your snooty little self today."
Amber didn't say anything back; she just took Ashley by the arm, "Come on…let's go." Then, the two walked off.
"That was weird," Miley said as she opened her locker.
Lilly agreed, "Yea, it was. I wonder what her deal is."
"I don't know," they walked off to class. "But, I have a bad feeling about it."
"I'm sure it's nothing. Come on, the bell's going to ring soon." They walked a little faster and made it just in time.
As Amber and Ashley walked down the hall, they spotted Jake. Amber grabbed him by the arm; pulling him to the side. "Jake, why won't you tell us what you're going to do?"
He smiled, "Amber, relax. You'll find out during break. You two ready to do your part?"
"I…I guess so," she replied nervously.
"Just do your part and everything will be fine, okay? I'll take all the blame."
"…Why?" Now she was really unsure about this.
"I, uh…just will. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get to class."
The two girls watched as Jake walked away. Amber turned to Ashley, "I have a really bad feeling about this."
Ashley rolled her eyes, "Why? He's probably just going to humiliate Truscott, big deal."
"No…no, I don't think that's all he's going to do. I think we need to back out of this…"
"I thought you didn't like Lilly," she said with confusion.
"I don't. Just trust me on this, okay? He's up to no good. As much as I don't like Lilly, I don't want anything really bad to happen to her."
"What about Miley?"
"Same goes to her. During break we need to tell someone that Jake's up to no good," she looked at Ashley with a serious look on her face.
"…You're serious about this aren't you…"
"Very."
"Okay, we'll tell someone."
"Thanks…come on…let's get to class."
The next two hours nearly drove Amber insane. She thought about telling the principal, or a teacher, sooner; but, she didn't want Jake to get pissed off at her. The Cracker was still going to try to beat up Dandruff Danny in the lunch area; so, she knew where to go to get a teacher. When the bell rang, she nearly jumped out of her seat. "Come on, Ashley. We need to act fast."
"Okay, okay, I'm coming," she followed Amber. They rushed off into the hallway and spotted Jake.
"Fight in the lunchroom everyone!" he shouted. "The Cracker's gonna beat up Dandruff Danny!"
That certainly did get everyone's attention. All the students rushed off towards the lunch room to see the fight. Amber and Ashley rushed off with the rest of them.
Jake leaned up against the wall that was near Miley's and Lilly's lockers. He was around a corner so they wouldn't spot him right away; which is exactly what he wanted. A devilish smile crept across his face as she saw them walking towards him. 'Good,' he thought, 'Oliver's not with them.' He heard them laugh and saw Lilly run a little bit, with Miley chasing her. Lilly stopped at the lockers and Miley pinned her against them.
"I win!" Lilly said cheerfully.
"You did indeed," Miley smiled and leaned in closer. "Pick your prize."
Lilly glanced around, "Well, since I don't see any teachers around…I want a nice, long kiss," she smiled back.
"You got it," she leaned in and gave Lilly a deep kiss.
Jake glared at them and placed his right hand in his right jacket pocket. 'I'll give them one last moment together…'
In the lunch room, Mr. Corelli, and several other teachers, was trying to stop the fight. "You two stop right now!" he yelled.
Amber and Ashley ran up to him, "Mr. Corelli!" Amber panicked.
"What is it Amber?" he looked over at them.
"It's about Jake! He…he's up to something really bad!" she felt like she was having a panic attack.
All eyes were on them; Mr. Corelli looked at them seriously, "What's going on?"
"I…I'm not exactly sure. I just have a really bad feeling about it. He-he's in the hallway alone with Lilly Truscott and Miley Stewart. He told us he was going to do something to Lilly today, but…but he wouldn't tell us what!"
Mr. Corelli turned to the other teachers and looked back at the girls, "Thank you for telling us. Let's go," they rushed off to the hallways.
As Amber was telling Mr. Corelli about it, Jake walked around the corner, "Hey girls," he said with a smirk.
Lilly and Miley looked over at him, "What do you want?" Miley snapped.
He let out an evil laugh, "If only you knew."
Lilly glared at him, "Just leave us alone, Jake."
"I'd love to leave Miley alone…for now at least. But you, Truscott…well…" he pulled the gun out and pointed it at her.
The girls screamed; it didn't take long for Lilly to start shaking with fear. Tears rolled down her cheeks, "Y-y-you wouldn't…" she managed to say.
"Oh, I would," he stepped closer. "You've screwed me over for the last time."
Miley was also crying at this point, "Jake, don't!"
"Stay out of this!" he snapped.
Lilly backed up against the lockers, "M-Miley…" she was completely terrified.
Miley was freaking out, "Leave her alone, Jake, please! You can't do this!" she cried.
All of sudden they head noise coming from the halls. "Shit!" Jake yelled. He turned back to Lilly and cocked the gun.
"NO!" Miley lunged at him; knocking him to the ground, causing the gun to go off in mid-air. Luckily it didn't hit anyone. The teachers and students froze when the gun went off.
After a pretty long struggle, Jake flipped Miley over so he was on top of her. He was glaring at her, "Bad move, Miley…very bad move," he quickly reached into his other pocket and whipped out a knife. Before anyone realized what he was doing, he plunged the knife into Miley's side. Miley screamed in pain as he quickly jumped off her. Mr. Corelli and two other teachers wrestled Jake to the ground. Jake put up a pretty good fight, but they eventually got him down.
Lilly looked down at Miley in horror, "NO!!" She rushed over and knelt down next to her crying, "Miley???" She looked up at the crowd of people and spotted Oliver; completely shocked and horrified. "Oliver, call someone!" she yelled as tears ran down her face.
Oliver snapped out of this shock and dialed 911, giving them all the information needed.
Lilly kept her eyes on Miley. She was hoping this was all one big nightmare and she'd wake up soon. But it wasn't…it was real. She could hardly take in all that had happened. It happened so quickly and without any warning. She gently moved the hair that had fallen over Miley's face out of the way, "I-It's gonna be okay…" she choked on her tears. "Help's coming…"
Oliver eventually made his way over to them. He gasped when he saw Miley. He gently placed his hand on Lilly's shoulder, "She'll be okay, Lilly…" he said as tears escaped from his eyes.
Miley tried to talk but she couldn't. She wanted to tell Lilly herself that she'd be okay…or at least she hoped so. Instead, Miley used all her strength to lift her hand and placed in on top of Lilly's.
Lilly cried more and gave Miley's hand a light squeeze. Oliver put his arm around Lilly's shoulder; she leaned her head against it and cried even more.
Before too long, help arrived and the police handled Jake. Two guys came up to Miley, Lilly, and Oliver with a stretcher. Lilly kissed Miley's hand before they lifted her up onto the stretcher. A police officer that was with the two men spoke into a police walkie talkie, "The knife is still intact, over," then he walked away as they carried Miley out to the ambulance. When she was out of sight, Lilly completely broke down crying.
Oliver quickly pulled her into a hug, "Shh…it's going to be okay…"
"I hate him!" she cried.
Oliver helped her up to lead her away from the blood, "I'll call our parents so they can drive us to the hospital. Is Jackson at school today?" he tried as hard as he could to stay calm.
"N-No…his class went o-on a career trip thing…"
Mr. Corelli walked over to them, "Miley's father has been contacted."
"Thanks," Oliver replied.
Lilly started walking away without really acknowledging what she was doing.
"Lilly?" Oliver followed her, "Where are you going?"
"Hospital…" she replied blankly.
"Our parents will be here soon once I call them," he reached out for her.
She spun around and smacked his hand away, "Let me go!"
He jumped back, "Lilly…"
She continued walking, faster this time. All she wanted was to see Miley. She got out of the school building and saw police officers practically yelling at Jake. Lilly walked over towards him, "You!!" Two police officers grabbed her before she lunged herself at him. "Let go of me!!"
"You need to calm down Miss," one of them reassured her.
She didn't take her eyes off Jake. She looked at him with so much hate in her eyes, "I swear, Jake, if she dies I will find you and make you regret it!!"
Jake looked away from her; he already regretted it. Tears were rolling down his face, "…I'm sorry…"
"Sorry?! Sorry isn't going to save her life!"
Oliver rushed over to her side, again, "Lilly, I called your parents and mine. They'll be here soon."
She released herself from the police officers' grips and looked at Oliver, "…It should've been me…" she said softly as tears rolled down her face.
"Don't say that…Come here," he brought her over to the curb and they sat there until their parents arrived. Lilly didn't comprehend anything from when her parents came to when they got to the hospital. Things were a big blur to her; she just wanted to hold Miley in her arms and never let go.
Robbie Ray was pacing around the waiting room with a tear stained face. He eventually got a hold of Jackson and he'd be dropped off at the hospital in about a half hour. He turned his attention to the doorway to see Lilly rush in. She froze at the doorway and spotted him; she ran to him. Robbie Ray opened his arms and embraced her as she hung onto him crying. He hugged her tightly as the others entered the room, "Shh…"
"I-I'm sorry…it should've been m-me…" she choked out.
"Don't apologize, Lilly. It's not your fault…" As Lilly started crying more, Robbie Ray led her over to a chair and sat down next to her. She wouldn't let go of him. "Just rest up a bit…She'll be alright…"
Lilly tried to rest, but every time she closed her eyes, she pictured Miley lying on the floor at the school. There was no way she could rest. She didn't even realize that Jackson showed up eventually. All she cared about right now was Miley.
"Mr. Stewart?"
Everyone turned their attention to a doctor that entered from the ER. Robbie Ray stood up, "…How's my baby girl?" he asked as his hands started shaking.
"We have news about your daughter."
Lilly's heart started to race…
