a/n: ohh sorry I went to my gf's house last night…couldn't write anything obviously. Hadn't been planning on doing that….but anyways, I'll post a couple chapters tonight.
--oh crap and I was reading over that first thing I posted and I realized I had said she was going to have a Hannah concert that weekend…but then I forgot and didn't add that in. so I'm going to change that in that part…and make it so it's like the weekend coming up. I hate when I leave things out it bothers me …lol
Chapter nine:
"Miley! Where have you been? The school called and said you never went to school today!" Daddy yelled at me the minute I walked in the door of our house.
"Daddy…I was just over at Lily's…I don't know, I didn't feel good so we stayed home." I said, hoping he would believe me.
"Miley…you can't just skip school like that and especially not with out telling me." He said angrily.
"I'm sorry Daddy."
He paused, his voice not as harsh when he spoke again, "I'll let it slide this time…but don't do it again, you hear bud?"
"Alright, I won't." I sighed, heading for the steps, "I don't feel good still so I'm going to go upstairs." I just wanted to be alone.
"Okay bud, come down later and get some dinner if you're hungry."

Sighing, I flopped down onto my unmade bed from the morning, also wondering what Lily was thinking about. She hadn't really seemed upset when she asked me to leave…so why had she asked me to leave? Was she going to ask to be just friends with me, but if she was going to do that…then why'd she kiss me? So many questions, and no way to get the answers…I looked around my room, my eyes falling on the moccasins I had just kicked off my feet when I walked into the room. Or maybe there was a way…I grinned slyly.
I went out my window, to avoid my father seeing "Mike" and being questioned, and left it open so he would just think I went out for a walk on the beach…which I was doing, only I was going as "Mike" and not "Miley". The beach was Lily favorite place to go when she was upset, especially if it was nighttime. She said it was calming, something about the waves and the usually busy beach being silent except the occasional bird or bugs. So I knew "Mike" would find her there.
And I did, almost right away, she was sitting where her feet would get wet by the waves as they came in, but everywhere else on her stayed dry. "Hey you," I said softly, "What're you doing out here so late?"
She turned quickly, "Oh shit Ohio, you scared me." Then she gave me a lopsided grin. "I'm just thinking…why are you out here so late?"
"Oh…I uh…don't know really, just felt like a walk."
"You sure you aren't looking for birds to shoot?" She joked, "I'd be careful which ones you go for out here…it can be against the law in some areas to shoot birds."
"Oh, thanks I'll keep that in mind." I chuckled mildly, and then sat in the sand beside her. "What're you thinking about?"
"It's a long story." She sighed.
"I'll listen," I told her gently. "I've got all night…I don't know about you."
"Well…it's Miley…" She looked at me, "She uh, kissed me."
"Yeah? Is that bad?"
"Well, no. But then I kissed her. And not when she kissed me, but like a completely separate kiss. She also said she likes me…and I don't know if I like her, well…okay I do. I do like her but, I don't know if I'm ready to tell her."
I tried to stop my self from taking a sharp intake of breath when she said that, I honestly hope she never finds out that I'm Mike now…I felt like I was spying on here almost. "Why do you think you aren't ready?"
"'Cause we're best friends…I don't want to ruin our friendship over us wanting to be more with each other. Us just being friends is so perfect, but then I can't help but wonder what it would be like to be more with her…" She whispered, "I think that could be even better."
I smiled at her sadly, "If you just take your time I'm sure she'll understand."
"I'm just scared…scared she's going to not want to wait, or while she's wait she'll find somebody else."
"She wouldn't do that."
"She could though."
"Definitely not, anybody who has a chance with you definitely wouldn't mind waiting for you."
She smiled at me sadly, "Don't be so sweet and understanding Ohio."
"It's just in my nature; I'm a lady's man." I joked.
Rolling her eyes at me she said, "Definitely."
"Maybe you should call Miley later and let her know you're okay…" I said getting serious again. "She's probably worried about you."
"Yeah, good idea." She got her phone out.
"Wait, are you going to right now?" I asked, now slightly scared shitless.
"Sure, why not? You don't mind do you?" She asked as she flicked open her phone and went through her contacts till she got to, 'Miley'. "Oh hey you don't have a cell phone do you? We could text and sh-…" She trailed off as she hit the call button, and several seconds later my phone started singing 'Best of Both Worlds'…just like "Miley's".
"Miley…?" She looked devastated.
