The last two weeks have probably been the worst 14 days of my life(except for finding out that Jake was alive was amazing news of course). I tryed so hard to talk to Miley, but all I got was one word remarks and answers. I either spent my nights sleeping on the couch or at Jackson and now Jake's house. Jake decided to move in with Jackson after spending a good solid two weeks with his family. He only did a couple of interviews, one being with Oprah, so now everyone was aware of Doug and his followers. Police are outside their home 24/7.
I was staring at the clock, class/work will get out soon. I had a free period, which I spent my time effectively by playing tetris on my cell phone. I heard the door creak open and put my cell phone away, hoping it wasn't Ms. Adams. To my surprise it was Miley. We stared awkwardly at each other, I refused to speak to her first. After all I have been the one trying to talk to her all week.
"Hi." She said softly. Her eyes looked sad.
"Hi.." I mumbled.
"Look Lilly we need to talk." She said sitting down. I suddenly felt happy, she was going to say she was sorry, and that she just needed some time to herself!
"I'm listening." I said trying to keep my cool. Here it comes I thought.
"Look Lilly, we aren't working."Miley stated.
"What? Huh?" I said, not knowing what she meant.
"Lilly, I'm sorry." Miley frowned.
"What?" I repeated.
"I'm sick and tired of people looking at me like I'm some sort of monster Lilly. How can I teach when students think I'm going to do what I did to you?" Miley said tears starting to fall from her eyes.
"Miley, no, this can't happen!" I said hysterically."No one knows, we can change schools, get away from here!"
"Lilly, the whole school knows. Children won't listen to me during class, I can't do this. It hurts too much."Miley said crying.
"What! Hurts you too much? How the fuck do you think I feel!" I yelled."So you're choosing your job over me?"
"No Lilly, it's not like that."Miley said burying her face in her hands.
"Not like what Miley? Fucking figures, you care too much what others think. I should be the only one that matters! You're the most important thing to me Miley, I love you." I said feeling my eyes water.
"Lilly..don't."Miley said crying harder.
"Just get out, apparently I don't mean as much to you, as you mean to me." I said tears pouring down my cheeks. With that Miley got up and left.
"She didn't mean it Lils, she's just confused."Jake said frowning.
"Yeah Lilly, I'm sure it will turn out to be fine. Miley obviously isn't thinking straight."Jackson agreed.
"We haven't talked in two weeks. She won't answer any of my phone calls."I said.
"Maybe she doesn't have her cell phone on her."Jake suggested. Jackson nodded his head at this.
"I called from a pay phone. She answered." I said angrily."There's not much I can do if she doesn't want to be with me."
"But she loves you Lilly! This can't happen."Jackson said angrily."She's just going through a rough time."
"I tried to be there for her, she avoided me. I tried everything." I said. I felt like a failure."Look I'm going out for a bit, don't wait up for me."
I slowly dragged myself to a bar that was only a few blocks away from Jackson and Jake's house. As I walked into bar I realized it was a huge mistake coming here. There were happy couples everywhere. I avoided eye contact with everyone except for the bartender. I only planned on having 3 drinks but then 3 turned into 6 and 6 turned into 10, after 10 I lost count.
Before I knew it someone or something dragged me onto the dance floor. A fucking gorrila could have dragged me out there and I honestly wouldn't have even cared. Feeling bold I grabbed a person, and jumped onto a table and started dancing. I felt people throwing beer on me and even felt people sticking money into my jeans. Then I just collapsed off the table, and now I'm in a dark alley with one horrible headache. Drinking away the "pain" was a wonderful decision.
Surprisingly I didn't even care that I was all alone at god knows what time. I just sat there, feeling sleepy. Everything went dark, my body went numb.
I woke up to someone pulling on my shoulder.
"What the fuck?" I mumbled slowly opening my eyes. It was sunny. Did I seriously just spend my whole night sleeping in a dark(well now sunny) alley way next to a bunch of trash. Yupp. If that wasn't weird enough I was now facing Amber.
"Amber? What are you doing here, I haven't seen you in years." I said hoping I wasn't hallunciating, I didn't feel like being checked in at the crazy house.
"Uh yeah it's me, I work here." She said nodding at the bar."I believe you were the drunk one dancing on the table last night?"
"Yeah that was me." I said my cheeks turning red."Where you there?"
"No, the lady who was the bartender at the time told me."She said.
"Oh."I said feeling awkward."So what have you been up to?"
"Well I just got back from being out of the country for awhile. After the whole Doug thing I was scared the police would think I was involved." Amber said. I gave her a weird look after she said this."Well fine I was involved, but it wasn't my fault!"
"Right." I said rolling my eyes."Well I should get going."
"Wait! How are you and Miley?"She asked.
"I'd rather not talk about it."I frowned.
"Tell me!"Amber squealed. I rolled my eyes,still the same old Amber.
"Well we're married, but I'm not sure how long it's going to last. She doesn't want to be with me anymore."I frowned. At this I heard Amber gasp.
"Oh my god no way! What's that bitch's problem?"Amber shrieked.
"Uh don't call her a bitch, and I don't know." I said, the last part being a lie. I really didn't feel like explaining anything to Amber."I'll see you around?"
"Yeah of course! Bye Lils." Amber said waving as I walked away.
About ten minutes later I was finally back at Jake and Jackson's house. I found them sitting on the couch reading through some papers. They didn't look too happy.
"Hey guys, what are you reading?" I asked taking a seat next to Jackson. Jackson looked up at Jake, Jake nodded and Jackson handed the papers to me.
Dear Lilly,
I'm sorry, really I am, but as I said earlier things aren't working out. I know you tried, you tried a lot more than me. I don't deserve you, but I can't do this anymore, I can't live a lie. It seems lately all we do is fight, and I know, it's mostly my fault. The truth is I'm in love with someone else. I'm so sorry Lilly, but I have to do what is best for us, especially you. I know right now it won't seem like the best choice but in a couple of years I'm sure you will understand. You will find some papers enclosed in the envelope, you have until June 1st to sign them. They are the legal documents for our separation. After you sign them the court case will be held on June 15th. I know it might be hard for you but it's the right thing to do. I love you, but not how you love me. I'm so sorry.
Love, Miley
Ah don't kill me for separating Miley/Lilly, but it'll make sense later. Don't worry. And sorry for the long wait! Review please:)
