It's been a week since Ms. Stewart helped me in math. Surprisingly I actually passed. I got a B-, Ms. Stewart seemed more happy than I was. I was starting to grow nervous, basketball tryouts were in about a month, and I still had to get ready for them. I heard a familiar screaming coming from downstairs. My parents were still arguing, something that would probably never change. This time there was something different about their fight.
I heard my mom yelling don't leave about twenty times. This was weird because she's always telling him to get the hell away from her. I crept out of my room to see what was happening. My mom was standing outside their room with her hands on her hips. Her face was red, and I could make out tears coming from her. I felt bad, but I did try to comfort her many times but she always told me to leave her alone. My dad flung a suitcase out of their room. My mom moved as he came out carrying another suitcase.
"Where are you going?" my mom asked hysterically.
"None of your god dam business women." He yelled while kicking a piece of luggage down the stairs.
"What do you expect me to do? I can't support this family alone." She yelled as he continued to kick pieces of luggage down the stairs.
"Do you think that's my fucking problem?" He yelled.
"The last time I checked you're part of this family." My mom yelled back.
"What family?" He yelled.
My mom stood there, she was unable to say anything back. More tears came down her cheeks.
"Thought so, this family fell part the day Timmy died. All thanks to that bitch upstairs" He said angrily pointing towards me.
I was unable to keep quiet anymore, "It wasn't my fault!"
"It's all your fault." My mother said speaking up. "I told you not to go to your friend's house."
"That's right, and now look what happened. Your brother is gone." He yelled.
"I miss him too, but there's no reason for you two to fight. Sure it may be my fault, but I'm not responsible for this." I said angrily pointing towards the luggage. I ran outside, towards the beach. I felt tears threatening to come down, but I held them back.
I spent an hour at the beach just sitting there, I slowly got up. I turned to face Ms. Stewart and her boyfriend sitting on a blanket in the private section of the beach. I noticed she looked uncomfortable. Curiosity rushed through me and I made my way over towards them, keeping out of their sight.
"Come on Miley." Mark whined.
"Look I told you so many times, not now." Ms. Stewart said sounding annoyed.
"Come on no one is around, no one will see." He said pouting.
"Mark, I work in this town. If a student happens to walk over here…" She began to say. I decided to pretend to talk on my cell phone while walking over towards them.
"Alright I'll call you later bye now." I said closing my phone. "Oh hey, sorry to intrude, but I always take this shortcut."
"Lilly! Oh it's fine." She said looking relieved. Mark on the other hand looked annoyed.
"Well I guess I'll be on my way." I sighed.
"Of course, us to. Why don't I walk you back up to Rico's?" She asked giving Mark a look that I couldn't make it out. I'm guessing she was embarrassed I caught them in the secret part of the beach.
"Oh well I'll get going, bye Miles." He mumbled. We watched him walk off.
"So let's get up to Rico's." She said leading me through the beach. "So are you going to the talent show tonight?"
"Yeah, I'm actually in it." I said while staring at my feet.
"Really? What are you doing?" She asked sounding amused.
"Oh I'm in a band, we're singing." I said looking into her perfect blue eyes.
We got near Rico's and noticed a small stage was being set up. Rico was hosting the talent show.
"So are you going?" I asked hoping she was.
"Well I was thinking about going, but now I'll be sure to go. "She said smiling.
"Great." I said happily.
"Your band better be good." She joked.
"Oh we will." I said as she walked away.
I sent Jake a text, it was time I told him.
I waited impatiently on the beach pacing back and forth. I really hope Jake wouldn't hate me. It was one thing to like a girl, but a whole other topic about being in love with your math teacher, I mean liking your math teacher, right? Right. I looked up to see Jake walking towards me.
"Hey Lilly." He said while brushing a piece of hair out of his face.
"Hi." I said nervously.
"Lilly are you okay? Are you going to be able to play tonight?" he asked looking concerned.
"Oh yeah I'm fine, but there's something I really need to tell you." I said twiddling with my thumbs.
"You can tell me anything, don't be so nervous it's not worth it." He said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"I know." I said nodding.
"It can't be possibly any more nerve racking than what I told you." He said putting on a small smile.
"Hah well actually…" I said softly.
"It's okay Lilly, better out than in." He said.
"I know this is really weird, but I kind of have a thing for Ms. Stewart." I said looking down at my feet.
I heard Jake laugh. Great, he probably thinks I'm a weirdo.
"Is that all?" he asked still smiling.
"Wait you're not mad?" I asked.
"Mad, why would I be mad? It's not a big deal. If I wasn't gay, I'd defiantly want her too." He joked.
"Okay good." I said smiling feeling a lot better.
"Now I think we should get up to Rico's." He said grabbing onto my arm.
So far the talent show was pretty stupid. Two girls went up and tap danced, a girl went up and played the violin, two boys went up and attempted to rap, and some other girl read a poem she wrote. I looked out behind the stage, I saw Ms. Stewart along with a large amount of people sitting down. I began to feel nervous. Luckily Jake was to sing.
"Get ready for the band Unknown!" Rico yelled. "Featuring Lilly Truscott, Jake Ryan, and Matt Thomas!"
"We will be singing Falling for you." Jake yelled into the microphone
Semester's coming soon
So I would like to mention
I woke up in my room
Alone, you're always welcome
Next week my mum's away
So now my future's brightened
I'd ask to have you stay
If I wasn't so frightened.
I, I'm really falling for you
I, hate what you're putting me through
What have you done to me now?
I just can't sleep at night
My bed is wet don't know how
Will someone please turn on the light?
You showed up at my door
Just like in a teen movie
I said, "Are you the whore?"
I paid to come and fuck me
I guess she found it funny
When I said, "Hello honey"
The piercing in her belly
They turned my legs to jelly
I, I'm really falling for you
I hate what you're putting me through
What have you done to me now?
I just can't sleep at night
My bed is wet don't know how
Will someone please turn on the light?
Taking over my life
But I don't seem to mind
And there's no stopping you
Taking me on a ride…
After the song was done, people were screaming and clapping. I felt relieved. They were now screaming encore. Rico motioned for us to sing again. Now it was my turn to sing the next song.
"Okay one more song, this one is called the hero dies in this one." Jake yelled.
As I leave here today, apartment 108
I'll always keep you in my heart.
Anderson is cold tonight,
The leaves are scattered on the ground.
I miss the seasons,
And the comfort of your smile.
Sometimes this all feels like a dream.
I'm waiting for someone to just wake me up,
From this life.
As I look out at these fairgrounds,
I remember how our family split apart.
I don't think I ever told you,
But I know you always did your best.
And the hard times,
They only made us stronger.
As I sit here all alone,
I wonder how I'm suppose to carry on when you're gone.
I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more then you will ever know.
So maybe now you finally know.
Sometimes we're helpless and alone,
But you can let it keep you weighted down.
You must go on.
Do you ever feel like crying?
Do you ever feel like giving up?
I raise my hands up towards the sky,
I say this prayer for you tonight,
Because nothing is impossible.
As I sit here all alone,
I wonder how I'm suppose to carry on when you're gone.
I'll never be the same without you,
I love you more then you will ever know.
So maybe now you finally know.
Sometimes we're helpless and alone,
But you can let it keep you weighted down.
You must go on.
Stay who you are.
You must go on.
Stay who you are.
The audience once again erupted with yelling and clapping. I smiled at Jake and Matt. I looked out to Ms. Stewart, she smiled and gave me a small wink.
Thanks for all the reviews, keep it up(:
I'm looking forward to writing next chapter
Also I do not own Hannah Montana and these two songs used. The first one is by Busted and the second one is bye The Ataris. I thought these two songs fit the story.
