Chapter Seventeen

One Final Night

Cody

No one touched upon the subject of Tank Hackmen ever again. No one wanted to relive it. We were able to stay in Malibu for two more days before we would head back to Boston—for good. There were a lot of memories that had been formed in Malibu.

In order to thank us for everything we've done and to celebrate friendship, our health, and each other, Robby treated us to another Hannah Montana concert. It was very similar to the one we had gone to earlier on our trip, but still, you just couldn't get over the fact that it was Hannah Montana.

And still, Miley didn't come. I figured this out at intermission—I was feeling…

10 Sadness

20 Angry

50 Confused

And 10 Concerned.

Was something going on that she wasn't telling anybody? I hoped not. Miley was a smart, pretty, talented girl and I'd hate to see her throw that away.

Pushing Miley out of my head (if that was possible) I focused on the concert. Wow was Hannah pretty. I felt like I almost knew her…. I wish….

Oliver

I was really sad that this was our last time together. Especially after all we'd been through. Sure I didn't find someone I liked like Lily and Zack, Jackson and Maddie, and Miley and Cody (all the guys kissed the girl on the cheek—except for Cody). But I'd found something more—friendships that would last. I knew the chances of seeing these strange but exciting people from Boston were very slim, but I felt that, if our friendship could withstand what we'd been through, we'd get through a little distance (little was an understatement).

Who knows? Maybe we'll be seeing them at Boston soon.

But I know this: We're friends till the end!

Maddie

I held Jackson's hand tightly, tears welling up in my eyes. I didn't want to leave him, but I knew I had to. I'd probably never see him again. When Jackson leaned in and kissed my cheek, it only made it all the harder. But I liked him all the more.

Jackson

God I loved Maddie….

Cody

Robby Ray managed to get us more backstage passes. Hannah walked out, signed autographs, and had to head out. Whatever, I saw her.

But I'd heard that voice before. It had kind of a rasp to it and it was deeper than Maddie or Lily's voice. But I'd heard it.

We were heading out, when some big bodyguard bumped into me, knocking all my merchandise from my hands. I bent over to pick them up, when I saw that Hannah's dressing room door was open about half way. I took a peek inside.

But I didn't expect what I saw.

I saw Miley….

"Uh…thank GOD none of them recognized me. I'm just not ready for people to know. Dad, I know they're my friends….I'm not ready. If this secret got out…I don't know. Ok, I'll see you at the house. Bye."

I scooped up my merchandise, stood up, and caught up to the group. Then I smiled to myself. Don't worry, Miley….Your secret is safe with me.

THE END

--

That's it! I am done with this story. There will be a sequel but I'm going to take a break from Zack, Cody, and Hannah for a little bit. Now I'm not going to be able to update for quite some time starting August 21st because of high school. Anyways, please check out WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE: THE MAGIC MASTERS, my newest story. Secondly, I will be posting KINGDOM HEARTS III soon AND I'm announcing that I'm going to be posting an AMERICAN IDOL story in the Misc. Shows category. It will be my own original characters, own original plots. Everyone will be my own creation except for Randy, Paula, Simon, and Ryan. Occasionally I WILL throw in a mentor or two. Also, you will be able to vote for who you want to move on. I'll explain more when I post it.

To find my Wizards of Waverly Place go to TV, scroll down and click on Wizards of Waverly Place. When the stories pop up, look for the title THE MAGIC MASTERS.

My American Idol story will be posted in TV. Then click Misc. TV Shows. Idk when it'll be up, but soon. I'm gonna multitask with the two stories.

Thanks to everyone who read this story and I hope you read my others!

R&R!!
