A.N. Hey guys, this came to me whilst I was working on my next story and my muse wouldn't help with it until I wrote this, so here we are! Lol.

Dads Really Do Know Best

She was staring again. She knew she was but she couldn't tear her eyes away from the beautiful young woman dancing on stage. She held the crowd in the palm of her hand every time she performed and unknown to her, she also held her heart. Lilly sighed and watched and her best friend belted out "I've Got Nerve". Her best friend. Nothing more. At least not as far as Miley was concerned, but Lilly wanted so much more. She felt her heart flip as Miley glanced to the side of the stage and met her eyes for a second, winked and then turned back to the crowd. She was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she didn't notice Miley's dad walk up next to her and she jumped a mile as he spoke.

"You need to tell her" he said, knowingly.

"Whoa Mr M! A little warning next time" Lilly exclaimed with a huge fake smile, trying to avoid the statement he had just made. Robbie Ray smiled at this and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

"Now Lola, I know you heard me" he chuckled.

"Tell her what?" Lilly asked, playing dumb instead of ignorance this time.

"I may be old Lola, but I aint dumb" he squeezed her shoulder, "You've been a little obvious to anyone with good observation skills that you have feelings for my little girl and if the hurt on your face is anything to go by, I'd say that you're not sure firstly whether to tell her at all and secondly, how you'd go about it if you were to tell her. Am I getting close?" he smiled gently. The breath was deflated from Lilly's lungs and she looked back to her best friend as she launched into her next song of "Best of Both Worlds".

"I don't know what to do" she admitted.

"Do you love her?" he asked.

"With every beat of my heart" Lilly replied without hesitation. Robbie Ray smiled again at this.

"Then there's your answer"

"I'm scared I'll lose her, that she'll hate me" she told him as she turned to look at him again.

"As Miley's Aunt Dolly says, If you keep yourself out of the race for fear of losin', there aint no way in hell you're ever gonna win. More than that Lola, she is your best friend, you trust her with everything. Why not this?" he questioned.

"It's not that fact that I'm bi that I'm afraid to tell her, I think she'd be cool with that. It's the fact that I'm in love with her that might be difficult for her"

"Well ya never know until you tell her" he finished.

"Thanks Mr M" she grinned at him, feeling lighter than she had since she had told her mom about her sexuality.

"You're so welcome Lola" he replied and turned away to talk to the stage manager as Miley finished up with "Best of Both Worlds".

"Ok guys, you have been awesome tonight and I'm gonna finish up with one of my favourite songs, it definitely means a lot to me. It's "True Friend" and as always I dedicate this to MY best friend in the world, Lola!" Miley turned as she said this and winked at Lilly again as she launched into "True Friend". Lilly smiled at this and found her courage growing. Tonight. She was going to tell her tonight.

A.N. Ok so I have a few ideas about how to continue this or I could leave as a one shot, I haven't decided yet. Please let me know what you think as I certainly won't write anymore if people aren't enjoying it ;) thanks guys Nicki xoxo
