Miley couldn't take it anymore. She was being driven crazy from all the pain she was being put in. With all the might she could pull, she warily got up form the floor. And slowly walked up the stairs on her way to her room. She froze in her tracks when she heard her father on the phone.

"Yes. That'd be great. See you then Jake." Robby said into the phone. He turned around and saw Miley in the hall way. "Good News. Jake Ryan is coming to stay with us while his parents are on a business trip. He'll be here later today." Robby said. Miley was worried that Jake would see something and contact the police. "Great." Miley faked a smile and continued to her room. She shut and locked her door.

The only reason she hadn't contacted the police was because she knew that they wouldn't believe her. Even if they did, Robby would just find a way to get to her. Even if that ment hiring someone to. If Jake saw something suspicious, she knew for sure that he would call the cops. That is if her dad didn't get to Jake first. If Jake found out that Robby Ray was abusing Miley, Jake would defiantly pay.

Laying on her bed, she took out her cell phone, and texted Lilly. She needed to talk to someone. If she didn't she felt she would go insane.

Miles: Lils. Can I come over to your house. I'm suffocated in my own home.

Lils: Sure. when are you going to be here?

Miles: Soon.

Lils. Ok see ya.

Miley put her phone in her pocket, and walked towards her window. She had no desire what so ever to let her dad know where she was going. Not like he'd care anyways Miley thought to herself. She carefully lowered her self down the vines that grew upon the bushes that layered the outside wall of her room. When she was safely at the bottom, she walked as fast as she could with the bruises her father had given her earlier.

When Miley got to the truscott porch, she saw lilly waiting at the door. "Hey!" Lilly greeted Miley with a hug. "Hi." Miley said. "C'mon lets go upstairs to my room." Lilly said. Miley followed her best friend to her room. "So whats up?" Lilly asked. "Nothing. Why?" Miley asked. "Because this is the first time you have ever used the phrase 'suffocating in my own home' What did your dad do this time?" Lilly asked. Miley looked at her friend. Was it possible that Lilly knew? "Lilly..It's just a phrase." Miley said. "Oh. Well you do know that you can tell me anything right? I will accept it no matter what." Lilly comforted. Miley had an instant fill of guilt. She looked at her lap, "Yeah..I know." Miley mumbled under her breath. "You've been acting really different. Is everything all right at home?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah. Everything is just fine." Miley lied. "Ok. Miley...your my best friend. and I wouldn't lie to you. I love you like a sister." Lilly said. Dang! Why does she have to do this? She is making this so hard! Miley thought to herself.

She broke down. "Alright Lilly! Why'd you have to go make me feel guilty! I have to tell you something." Miley confessed. "What is it?" Lilly asked. "You have to swear to not tell a soul. No one. This is serious. You have to promise me, that no matter how bad this news is, you cannot, I mean CANNOT tell anyone." Miley said. "I swear on my life. Now tell me." Lilly said. Miley hesitated. "C'mon Miley. You can trust me." Lilly persuaded. "I'm not sure if I can trust anyone with this news." Miley said. "Miley. I swore on my life. I swear on Olivers life if that makes you feel better." Lilly tried lightning the mood. Miley brought her voice level to a little whisper. "My dad...I...um..I get.." Miley stuttered. "Miley. Tell me!" Lilly begged. "I'm sorry Lilly this is really hard for me." Miley said. "Would it be easier for me to guess? I know! You act it out and I'll guess. Like sheraids." Lilly said. Miley took a breath, and then agreed. She started singing her hand back and forth. "Um..You..you get to be a pirate?" Lilly guessed. Miley shook her head no. Her next movment was slapping her face. "You get slapped?" lilly said. Miley raised her thumbs and her hands were moving up and down. "I know! You get slapped while dancing to La Bamba!" Lilly said and laughed. Miley slapped her for head. "No Lilly! I get abused! Hit! Beat! My dad beats me!" Miley started crying. Lilly couldn't believe it.

"Oh Miley." Lilly said walking to her friend. She gave Miley a hug. "You have to get help! Your dad has to go to jail. He needs help!" Lilly started crying as well. "No Lilly! you promised not to say a word! If I tell the police, they wont beleive me! And if they do, My dad will just hit me twice as bad the next time he can get a hold of me!" Miley cried more. "You can't just leave it unspoken Miley! He is going to go to far and kill someone if you don't fess up!" Lilly tried drying her tears to be strong. "Lilly! I can't! I just can't!" Miley said.

There was a slap of thunder. It was pouring outside. Miley's phone started ringing. She answered it.

"Hello?" Miley said trying to sound like she hadn't been crying. "Miley! I'm almost at your house!" Jake said. "Oh great. Um I can't talk right now. I..I have to go." Miley said, then hung up her phone. "Lilly. I have to go." Miley said walking to the door. "Im going with you." Lilly said. "No Lilly. You need to stay." Miley protested. "Miley. If your not going to let me tell anyone, at least let me go to your house." Lilly said. Miley smiled and opened her arms for a hug from her best friend.

The two walked out of the truscott house and into the rain.

When they got to Miley's house, they saw Mr. Stewart drinking a beer. There were beer bottles all over the floor. "Lilly stay out here." Miley said. "In the rain?" Lilly asked. "Yes. Just for a few minutes."

Miley walked into her house, and regretted it. Her father swung around angrily. "Where have you been girl?" He walked toward her. "I was At Lilly's house." Miley said. "You don't leave the house with out my permission." He slapped her across the face. "You understand me?" He continued. "Y-" Miley started. He slapped her again. "I said do you understand me?" He repeated. Lilly was outside watching the whole thing. Lilly was startled when she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Why aren't you doing anything?" It was Jake. He ran into the house. "WHat are you doing?" Jake yelled. He threw a punch at Robby. "I'm teaching my daughter a lesson." Robby yelled and returned the punch. The two were in a match. "Miley run!" Jake yelled over the grunts of pain. Miley ran outside where lilly was standing. The two huddled under a tree, and watched Robby and Jake.

"Miley we have to call the police!" Lilly said. "NO! LILLY YOU PROMISED!" Miley cried. Lilly looked at Jake being beaten to death. He was on the floor and Robby was kicking, and punching him.

Robby Finally picked up Jake and threw him over his shoulder. Miley lost it. She started yelling and crying. "No. NO! NO!" Miley cried. Lilly had to hold her back so that she wouldn't go into The territory of her dad. "Miley! You can't go in there! If your dad gets you he will do the same! Calm down!" Lilly said. "How do you want me to calm down!? He just Killed Jake! I need to go! I need to..." Miley said. "The best thing we can do is call the police." Lilly said taking out her phone. Miley stopped her crying, and slapped the phone out of Lilly's hand. "You can't call the cops!" Miley said. Lilly's phone was on the wet floor broken. "Look Miley! We can't handle this on our own! We need-" Lilly was cut off. "Oh God! Lilly My dad saw us!" Miley panicked. Robby Ray was sprinting to the door. "We have to get out of here!" Miley said. She pulled Lilly's arm and they ran into the rain and fog out of sight.

Wow. Dramatic. Haha. How sad Jake died ( I'm pretty sure that will be the last death of this story. Yay! Hahaha. Leave your thoughts! Review!
