I'll Always Remember You

Chapter 2: Something Fishy

MILEY'S PERSPECTIVE

Today is such a happy day, do you know why? Because I'm with my crushy cakes right now!! He invited me to have a date at the park with him, just kidding.

He just wanted me to accompany him because we have something to talk about, so I immediately agreed because why not, he was the one who offered, ackss. I will never deny it when he offers, I have admired him for so long and I feel lucky that amidst all the girls who like him, he chose to be with me.

Am I really that beautiful?

But I'm not bragging, it's just that he really wants to be with me and it seems like he likes me too.

But oh well, I have so many thoughts running through my mind, it seems like I'm just being delusional.

As we walk in the park, I saw a familiar person sitting on a bench. Out of curiosity, I approached and was surprised to see who it was.

"L-Lilly?" I exclaimed in surprise.

What a coincidence.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, puzzled, furrowing my brows.

"W-what?! Oh Miley, it's you, uhhmm..." She couldn't say what she wanted to say and I could see the surprise in her face, which only made me more puzzled.

Is she hiding something from me? Is there something I should know? Why isn't she telling me?

But that's impossible, I know she wouldn't do that. But what if my suspicion is correct, that she's keeping a secret from me.

Oh well, let's see.

"Is there something I don't know about?" I asked her calmly and innocently. "Ahhh N-nothing," she quickly replied.

There's something strange going on with her, I don't understand what she's doing. Is she okay?

"Something fishy going on here," I sarcastically remarked. "Miley, like I said, nothing is happening here. So don't worry," she said and I saw the relief in her lips, which made me breathe a sigh of relief and smile slightly at her.

"As I hoped so," I said with a sense of relief.

I can't help but furrow my brows at her behavior towards me, so I turned around to refresh my mind.

And to my surprise, I saw a familiar face approaching us.

"Wait, is that my brother?" I asked in surprise, turning Lilly's attention.

"Jackson? Where?" She asked, showing interest in what she said.

"There, the one coming towards us," I pointed to the man approaching us with my lips.

I know I might look stupid but I don't care, I'm used to do this kind of situation.

It's called abnormal. And yeah, that's me.

As the man approached, his face became clearer.

'I was right, it is Jackson!' I thought to myself.

"It's him!" I exclaimed in surprise as my eyes widened.

As he finally approached us, I was puzzled by the emotions he showed towards us.

He smiled but I could see the pain in his eyes. He's hurting...

"Jackson, what are you doing here?" Lilly happily asked him. He looked around as if searching for something.

"Uhhh... I-I'm waiting for S-Sienna," he said, but I could feel the pain and bitterness in his voice.

I know he hasn't moved on yet, but they're no longer together, he needs to move on.

"Let me guess, you still haven't moved on, huh?" I teased in a calm tone, but I was surprised when I saw tears welling up in his eyes.

Is he crying?

The tears he was holding back were now flowing, I know he's feeling hurt because of his breakup with Sienna, but there's still hope, if Sienna doesn't accept him, then he shouldn't force it, there are other girls waiting for him.

"Whoa, I thought guys don't cry," I exclaimed. "Looks like we're thinking the same thing," Lilly responded. I saw the annoyance in Jackson's face and he just shook his head.

He seems annoyed by what we said, maybe we're adding to his problems. But hey, I have no idea what's going on.

As he walked away, Lilly hesitated to follow him.

"Jackson, wait up!" Lilly called out.

I can't understand what they're showing in front of us right now. What's really happening? Is this a riddle? Oh no, this is really confusing.

"What's happening with Lilly?" I asked Jake, still focused on Lilly who was getting farther away.

"I don't know, and I'm also confused," Jake replied.

I looked at him and saw his attention on Lilly who was still chasing after Jackson as she ran.

She looks like a dog.

I turned back to Jake and my heart raced when I realized he was looking at me.

He was looking deeply into my eyes as if searching for something.

Am I really that beautiful for him to stare at me for so long?

Oh no, I'm getting flustered, wait! My face, it's probably turning red! What should I do? His face is so handsome, now I'm just staring at him in a daze.

I can feel butterflies in my stomach. Oh no, my face must be really red now.

"You're blushing," he said while smirking, which made my eyes widen.

Huh!? I knew it!

I suddenly snapped out of it and looked down in embarrassment. How embarrassing!

I could hear him chuckle.

"No way! You're just hallucinating," I denied, looking away.

"Okay then, let's just continue walking," he said, smiling at me.

"Y-yeah, that's a g-good idea," I replied, trembling.
