"What?!" Lily exclaimed staring in awe at Miley. "What kind of crazy wack is going through your dads hillbilly mind?!"

'There it's done. See she's taking it well.' Miley thought as she watched Lily's response to her statement.

"He can't…you can't…I-I can't… I need you Miley." Lily stammered as tears began to trickle down her cheeks. "I can't survive without you Miles. You're my best friend." 'Okay maybe I spoke to soon. But atleast she isn't blubbering.' Miley thought on the bright side.

"How am I going to face Amber and Ashley without you? This isn't fair, you can't leave!" Lily cried going into hysteria.

"I know Lil I don't want to leave. Why would I? I mean I have you and Oliver here. You guys are my best friends. Trust me if I had any say in it, moving would have never crossed anyone's mind." Miley finally spoke up. "But no matter what you'll always be my best friend. And no amount of distance will ever change that." Miley wrapped Lily in a hug.

"What if you meet someone else and they become your new best friend?" Lily asked as more tears formed into her already blotchy eyes. "That wont happen. I'll just kick 'em to the curb. You're my only best friend Lil." Miley replied as a smile formed across Lily's face.

"I'm going to miss you Miles."

"Yeah of course you are. Who wouldn't?" Miley laughed trying to lighten the mood a little.

"No one I guess. I know deep down behind all that evil Amber and Ashley have a heart; one that's going to long for you when you're gone." Lily replied in a dramatic way.

"Oh yeah right. Even behind all that evil there ain't no heart." Lily smiled at Miley and they busted out in laughter.

The week flew by quicker than Miley and Lily had wanted it to. Soon the day came for Miley to leave.

"Well look on the bright side Miles, Florida is a bit like California, really sunny." Oliver piped up trying to break the funeral silence that was present between the three friends.

"Ow!" Oliver yelled as Lily's fist met his arm. "What did I do?!"

"There is no bright side of this! Miley is leaving, not like on a vacation and will be back in a week; she's leaving for good. Bye bye Miley no more see. Get it dum dum?" Lily growled glaring at Oliver.

"Don't be hard on him Lil, he's just trying to make things easier." Miley said giving Oliver a weak smile. "Thanks."

"No problem." Oliver replied, grateful someone noticed that he was trying to do the right thing.

"Well you know what? It's not making anything any easier!" Lily yelled. She hated this, hated that Miley was leaving forever. Sure she promised nothing would be different, but it would. Lily knew deep down it would.

"Come on Bud we gotta hit the road." Miley's dad called from the front seat.

"Well I guess…. This is goodbye." Miley stammered trying to force a smile on her face.

"Yeah… good bye." Tears began to pour down Lily's face.

"Have fun." Oliver said squinting his face up refusing to let it be seen that he was about to cry.

With a long hug and a wave, Miley retreated to the car. "It'll be fine Bud." her dad said giving her an encouraging smile. But it wouldn't be fine, Miley knew that it wouldn't. From here on out nothing would be the same again. Her whole life was being left with Lily and Oliver. A tear trickled down her face as her best friend went out of view.

"Goodbye."
