The New Neighbors

Chapter 23

End

"Miley?" I voice from inside my room spoke. I quickly turned around and saw Jake Ryan in my room, with a handful of roses in hand.

His mouth was slightly open, and the roses suddenly fell from the grip of his hand onto my bedroom floor. I could see the hurt expression on his face.

I looked back at Oliver who was standing right behind me. He looked very uncomfortable but kept still.

"Jake?" I said, entering my room towards Jake. Oliver remained outside.

"What's going on?" He finally spoke, in a low voice, looking at me with his green eyes carefully. I looked shamefully down at the ground. "Miley?"

I looked up at Jake then over near the balcony door where Oliver stood in the doorway. I bit my lip, I didn't want to Jake to find out, especially like this.

I walked over to the balcony door and took a hold of the door. "I need to talk to him privately," I whispered to Oliver. He nodded stepping out of the doorway, as I shut the door and faced Jake again.

"Are those for me?" I asked referring to the flowers on the floor. I picked them up and gazed at them, then placed them on my desk nearby.

"They were," Jake replied, still looking at me.

I took big breath in then out and went over to Jake. "Jake...I-I don't know what to say," I told him.

"How long has this been going on? I thought you said you were 'just friends'?" He asked bitterly.

"This is the first time it happened," I assured him, "A-And I didn't mean for it to happen, but it did." I continued. "Jake you're a great guy, and very sweet too, but I just don't see this working..."

He looked down and sighed, "I kinda saw that one coming." He looked towards the balcony door. "If he ever, ever treats you bad or anything, you call me," He said to me seriously.

"Will do," I promised. We both embraced in a friendly hug, then separated. "Bye Jake."

"Bye Miley, see-ya around," He replied sadly, then walked through my bedroom door shutting it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She shut the door saying she needed to talk to Jake privately. I just wished he wouldn't turn on his charm and she fell right into his arms once again.

I sat down quietly on a small chair she had outside, waiting for her to come back out. I tried to remain quiet and hear what they were saying, but they must have been talking softly.

A while later I heard the balcony door open and saw Miley come out with a small smile on her face. She looked out at the ocean, then turned towards me.

"Why are you smiling?" I asked her.

"Because I'm happy," She replied, walking closer to me.

"And why is that?"

"Because I broke up with Jake, and can be with this other amazing guy," She answered, plopping down onto my lap.

"Who is this lucky guy?" I asked with a grin, wrapping my arms around her waist. She leaned her head on my shoulder.

"Oliver Oken," She stated picking her head up from my shoulder smiling at me. I smiled also capturing her lips onto mine.

"Will you be this lucky guy's girlfriend?" I asked her when I broke the kiss.

"I'd love to," She said then kissed me lightly.

I looked down at my watch, "Oh, it's really late...I should get home," I said, but she remained in my lap, not giving an effort to get off.

"Stay longer?" She asked, giving me her puppy dog eyes.

I smiled, and hugged her so she would be closer. "You're lucky we're neighbors."
