MILEY'S POV
It's been a few hours since I told Mikayla that I'm Hannah Montana and completely broke down. I'm pretty sure that she thinks I'm asleep. She has me pulled up onto her lap and has one arm around me and stroking my hair with the other, and I really don't feel like moving. I'm comfortable here for now.
I can't believe she's being so nice to me. She hated me as Hannah, yet is nice to me as Miley? It doesn't really make any sense to me. "Miley? Are you awake?" I guess I must have made a sound or something. "Yeah", I reply. Expecting her to just resume her silence, I'm surprised when she gently moves me off her lap and begins asking me a slew of question. I yell out "Stop!" because all of her questions are stressing me out. She apologizes and I just ignore her.
Out of the corner of my eye I can see her staring at my leg. "It doesn't work," I tell her, "I can't get it to move in sync with my other leg." She doesn't say anything and just nods her head in understanding. This is getting awkward. We're just staring at each other and not saying anything.
"Sing me a song." she says out of the blue. I refuse immediately and tell her that I gave up singing after the accident and haven't sung since. "I don't care. I want to hear you sing, the real girl beneath the wig." Not seeing how I can get myself out of this, I ask her to grab me on of the guitars since I can't get up. Not wasting anytime at all, she jumps up, grabs what used to be my favorite guitar and slowly hands it to me. I have no clue what to sing, so I quietly strum the guitar until a song comes to mind…
"Wake up, here I go, cram it all down my throat Stomach's so full that I wish I could choke Seven a.m., my head's already in a spin
As soon as I'm out that door Bam, it hits me like a ton of those red bricks Can't dig myself out of this highest ditch This madness
I swear sometimes I can't tell Which way's up, which way's down It's all up in my face, need to push it away Somebody push it away, so all that I can hear Is a simple song, sing along now
La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la
Midday sun beating on the concrete Burning up my feet, too many cars on the street The noise, the red, the green, makes me wanna scream
Five o'clock now it's bumper on Bumper on, bumper horns honking Nobody's looking but everybody's talking It's another day on this highway
I swear sometimes I can't tell Which way's up, which way's down It's all up in my face, need to push it away Somebody push it away, 'cos all I wanna hear, oh Is a simple song, sing along now
La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, hey! Sing along now Sing along
What I'd give to turn it off And make it stop, make it stop You gotta make it stop, so all that I can hear Is a simple song, sing along now
La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la La, la, la, la, la La, da, da, da"
My voice cracks as I finish singing my song. Mikayla gives a small applause and I try to smile at her but I completely fail as my smile falters. No one has clapped for me in a long time. I missed that. I thank her and tell her she doesn't need to clap. "Yes I do," she says, "that was beautiful Miley. Why didn't you ever sing that as Hannah?" In response, I tell her that I didn't think it was suitable for Hannah since she usually sings upbeat songs.
"I loved it" she says. Blushing at her compliment, I put the guitar down and try to get more comfortable on the couch. She wants to talk more, but I don't feel like talking. I'm tired and want to go to bed. I wish I could walk again. My life would be so much easier. I'm sick and tired of having to rely on other people to help me around.
I ask Mikayla to help me up to my room, even though I'm incredibly ashamed. She instantly picks me up as if I weighed no more than a feather. I tell her where my room is upstairs, and she takes me there. She tucks me into bed, and she hesitates for a moment before crawling into bed next to me. And for the first time in a long time, I go to bed with a smile on my face.
AN: I enjoyed writing this, and I did most of it in Government lol. I hope all of my readers enjoyed this chapter and I'll try to finish writing the next one and get it posted quickly!
