Lilly had never been so nervous before in her life. Her palms were sweaty, her mouth was dry, and forget butterflies, she felt like she had elephants in her stomach. She'd never felt so anxious about something, Lilly felt like she'd pass out any second. "Breathe Lilly, it's now or never." She muttered. The blonde haired girl picked up her phone and began texting.

'Hey Miles, Just wondering if you've got a second or two, we need to talk. Come to beach xxxx'

She pressed the send button and let out a sigh. She sat on the beach, her surfboard lying next to her. The scene in front was breathtaking. The sun was setting on the horizon, making it look like it was sinking into the sea.

Lilly twiddled her thumbs. Her hair was wet from surfing earlier, so it dripped down her back, wetting her clothes. She'd gotten out of the water and put on a pair of dry board shorts and sweatshirt over her bikini. Her text tone rang, playing Best of Both Worlds by her favourite singer.

'Hi Lils, yeah sure I'll be there in five xxxx'

Miley stayed true to her word and showed up shortly after. She came down wearing a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. Others might have said she looked underdressed but not to Lilly. Lilly stood up so she could greet Miley.

Miley ran to her friend and embraced her, pulling her close. Lilly cherished the moment, after all there might not be many more like it after this.

"So what did ya wanna tell me Lils?" asked the southern girl.

"Something important...it's serious." Lilly looked at her feet sheepishly. Miley raised an eyebrow, curious as what the girl had to say. "Either way it's gonna chance my life after I've told you."

"What is it? Drugs, love, smoking......sex?"

"I guess you could say it's something to do with love." Lilly sat back down in her spot on the beach. Miley sat down beside her, linking their arms together.

"Oh is there a new guy you like? Is he hot?"

Lilly winced. That remark wasn't making it any easier for her.

"S-s-sort of...I think they're the most beautiful person in the whole of the country."

Miley laughed.

"Lilly, Orlando Bloom lives in England you know."

"Ha ha, very funny. I was being serious you know."

Miley rested her head on Lilly's shoulder and laughed. Lilly stiffened at her friends actions and let out another sigh.

"So who is this guy? Do I know him?"

"More than you know..." Lilly muttered under her breath.

"What?"

"I said yeah I guess you do...in fact they're one of my close personal friends."

Miley's eyes drifted towards to ocean in deep thought.

"You're gonna have to give me a bit more info' than that."

"Oh c'mon Miles I'm already nervous enough about telling you...do I really have to spell it out?"

"It would help."

Lilly moved to sit in front of the singing sensation. She ran her fingers through her blonde hair, trying to calm her nerves. Miley just sat staring at her, curious about what was going to happen.

"O-okay. I don't know how to put this any other way Miles so I'll just tell you."

Miley nodded taking Lilly's hands in hers.

"Well what I'm trying to tell you is that......I'm in love with you."

Miley's eyes opened wide, the girl looked lost for words.

"W-w-what?"

"I said I'm in love with you. Can you see why I was so nervous now? I know it's not right, but for some reason I feel this way, and I don't know what to do and I know there's no way that you'll feel the same so I'll just shut up now."

"Lilly...a-are you joking?"

The blonde girl's heart sank. That question changed everything. By asking that, Lilly knew that Miley did not feel the same way. If Lilly told Miley the truth, then their friendship would surely be ruined. But if Lilly pretended if it had been a joke their friendship could be saved. After all she'd rather have Miley as a friend than nothing.

"Of course I was! I mean...c'mon it's a...joke." Lilly stuttered.

Miley looked somewhat disappointed at the blonde's comment.

"Oh....okay. I gotta say there Lils you really sounded serious there."

Lilly nodded her head. The two sat in silence a while longer.

"Well I gotta get home before Jackson and Dad decide to switch the T.V to football. You know what they're like."

"Yeah sure...."

"Hey we're still going to the movies to see Ben Stiller's new film right?"

"Course, wouldn't miss it for the world."

The blonde surfer grabbed her board and began to walk off. Miley noticed her friend's sudden change of mood and decided to do something. She caught up with Lilly, turned to face her, cupped her cheeks, leaned in and kissed her full on.

Lilly barely had time to notice what had happened. One minute she was convinced Miley didn't like her, the next thing she knew the pop star was kissing her. And on the lips too! It lasted around 5 seconds, but to Lilly it felt like 5 minutes. She was on top of the world.

Eventually the need for air was too great, so they both reluctantly pulled away. Miley leaned her forehead against her friends looking deeply into her eyes.

"So, I guess you weren't joking huh?"

Lilly blushed.
