It's been months since I've last posted a story! I'm really sorry, but my grades are slipping a bit and I'm forced to...*takes a deep breath*...study *wheezes*. I'll let y'all know, if you haven't yet figured it out, that I am a terrible updater. I am very inconsistent and it takes many reminders and begs from readers to get me going again. Freshmen year is very different and I've been having a little trouble with my boyfriend, but we talked it out and everythings better! Which explains why I'm writing this new story!

I'm in a liley faze craze, forgive me for not working on my older stories, but I have no motivation to continue writing those stories. I may start writing one-shots so that I can FINALLY complete a story! Anyways, here's a liley story.

5/31/09:

Okay, so looking back at my previous entry, I realized that this would not have been my first completed story...

Also, I'm thinking about connecting this story to my first liley one-shot. This could be one of Miley and Lilly's first hardships together! :D But this is also a sort of depressing story too...:/

This story takes place after "Oliver, I Want to Murder You" and its sequel. There will be a story explaining Joannie's return later, so don't be confused with her sudden presence in this story. The story will also explain Miley and Lilly's coming out to the school and to their families.

Oh and I realized I've been spelling Joannie's name wrong :P It has 2 n's!!

Alright, here we go!

Lilly laid awake on her bed, staring at the plain white ceiling. She didn't even bother with the dried tear-stains that covered her beautiful face. Groaning, she sat up and gazed out the window. She stood up and slowly walked over and placed her hand on the cold glass. Watching the rain fall, she recalled the events that just took place not a few hours ago...

-

The school bell signaled the end of English class. Lilly quickly stood up and gathered her things. She wanted to leave the room as soon as she could to avoid the glare that was being sent her way. Twice she had dozed off in class and she didn't want a lecture from Mr. Howard.

Tripping over herself to leave, she nearly dropped her books. Rushing over to her locker, Lilly saw that Miley was already there waiting for her. Smiling a little to herself, she slowed her pace and crept up to her gorgeous best friend, who seemed to be staring off into space.

Grinning evilly, Lilly stopped next to her friend and leaned forward until she could smell Miley's conditioner. "Watcha' thinking about, gorgeous?" Lilly asked seductively into her ear.

Then, as if she was in a trance, Miley leaned forward and murmured "you" before pressing forward. Their lips met sweetly and they intertwined their hands once they broke apart. Grinning madly, Miley put her free arm around Lilly. "I've been waiting forever to do that."

Grinning back, Lilly answered, "Miley, it's only been three periods since we last saw each other." She giggled.

"Three periods is too long, girlfriend!" Miley said as she ran a hand through her wavy brown hair.

"Yeah it is." Lilly admitted, sighing. But her signature smiled came back full force. "But it's Friday, so we get to hand out all weekend!"

Miley leaned forward slightly so that her lips could brush against the hyper blonde's ear. "I'm all your." Lilly shivered at the seductive tone and blushed. Trying to turn the attention away from her, Lilly quickly turned to Oliver, who had just arrived with his girlfriend Joannie.

"S-So, Oliver...got any plans with Joannie tonight?" Lilly stuttered, rubbing her burning cheeks with her palm.

Oliver smiled and put an arm around Joannie. "Actually, we were wondering if you guys wanted to see a movie with us later."

"Umm...sure, Oliver, we'd love to." Lilly answered after glancing at Miley for confirmation.

"Yeah! What time do we have to be there?" Miley spoke up, leaning a little onto Lilly.

"Well we were planning on seeing it around 8 if that's okay." Oliver beamed, happy his two best friends were coming. They hadn't spent time together since Joannie got back, much to his displeasure.

Lilly frowned. She glanced at Miley and said, "Well I might get there a little later 'cause my mom wants to talk to me about something." She furrowed her brow, an expression that Miley found extremely adorable. "I think it's important." Secretly, Lilly was worried. She found her mom grimly talking into the phone whenever she got home from school, and then she'd see her slam down the phone quickly. Before Lilly could ask though, her mom would change the subject and continue working as if nothing was wrong.

A sinking feeling was starting to develop in her stomach. Were they moving? Was her mom mad at her? Did she suddenly not approve of her and Miley's relationship? Thoughts were swimming into Lilly's head. All the possible scenarios flashed in her mind and she wanted nothing more than to call up her mom and force her to say nothing was wrong. But she knew something was up....she was almost too afraid to find out what it was.

Realizing she had been spacing out for several minutes, Lilly blinked back into reality. Miley and Oliver were looking at her concerned. 'Joannie must have left already.' Lilly concluded when she saw the tough vegetarian was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you okay, Lils?" Miley asked, looking deeply into her eyes as if searching for the answer.

"I'm fine." Lilly lied, putting on a forced smile to make it more convincing. Miley darted her eyes across Lilly's face, looking for any clues for Lilly's strange behavior. Lilly knew Miley knew she was lying. Best friends can always tell and the concern only grows when that best friend happens to be her girlfriend.

Oliver, too, tried to depict his childhood friend's weird behavior. Deciding that she would tell them when she was most comfortable, Oliver patted Lilly's shoulder. "You can tell us when your ready, Lils. We're here for you." Lilly nodded appreciatively and managed a small smile.

Miley, however, was far from convinced. She knew that deep down inside Lilly was concerned about her mother. She, too, witnessed Lilly's mom's awkward and jumpy behavior. When she asked Lilly about it, she just hung her head and said she didn't know.

Miley tightened her arm around her usually happy girlfriend and whispered, "Yeah, Lilly Bear." Lilly smiled at the nickname. "You can tell us at the movies later." After one last glance at her girlfriend, Miley withdrew her arm and, instead, grabbed Lilly's hand and led her to the parking lot where her dad was waiting. She and Lilly would usually walk home, but today Hannah has a meeting with the record company about her upcoming concert. But now that she knew Lilly was troubled, Miley didn't know if she could concentrate on her music. Lilly always comes first.

Tugging Lilly into the car, Miley asked, "Can Lola come to the meeting?"

Lilly shook her head. "Sorry, Miles. My mom wants to talk to me right away..." Disappointed, Miley pouted.

"Buckle up, girls. Lilly, are ya gonna be okay tonight?" Robbie Ray's accent ran through the car. Lilly smiled at his concern. He was like a second father to her. Her real dad was never there for her...Lilly's smile faltered for a short moment, but she replaced it quickly; only Miley noticed.

Robbie Ray drove up to Lilly's house and stopped right behind Lilly's mom's Porsche. Lilly unbuckled her seatbelt and reached for the car door handle. Before she could open it all the way, however, Miley pulled Lilly into a loving embrace, one that Miley and Lilly both needed.

Lilly let out a shaky breath and buried her face in Miley's brown curls. Miley stroked her distraught girlfriend's hair, trying to give all the comfort she needed. Reluctantly, Lilly pulled away and flashed a dazzling smile that made Miley's stomach do flips.

After getting a nod from Robbie Ray, Lilly leaned forward and caught Miley's bottom lip. Forcing herself to keep it short, Lilly broke the kiss after a few seconds. Miley, whose eyes were still closed from the sensation of the kiss, whimpered from the sudden chill of the wind. Although neither of them were satisfied, they both knew they had to stop there, much to Miley's disappointment.

Reaching out to pull Lilly's face closer, Miley whispered against her lips, "Call me later, Lilly Bear. I wanna hear your voice before I go to bed."

Grinning, Lilly whispered back, "There's no need for that Miles. We'll see each other later at the movie theater with Oliver and Joannie, remember?" Lilly laughed at her girlfriend's forgetfulness; Miley may be Hannah Montana, but she was still a regular kid.

"Thanks for reminding me, babe." Miley said earnestly.

Noticing her girlfriend's sudden seriousness, Lilly knew she was going to get an earful of questions later. "No problem, Miles." She winked. "Comes with the job of being your girlfriend. I mean, someone has to get through your big ego somehow." Lilly escaped Miley's playful grab and almost fell out of the car doing so. Miley caught Lilly's arm before the blonde could fall and, then pulled her in close.

"I'll get you back for that later." Miley growled in Lilly's ear. Shivering, Lilly was more excited for the movie get-together later. With one last kiss, they let go of each other and Lilly slipped out of the car. Miley watched until Lilly walked inside, safe.

Sighing, Miley fell back against the car seat. "She'll be alright, darlin'." Robbie Ray comforted his daughter. "You'll see her later." Miley silently nodded and looked out the window as she felt the car pull away from the driveway and down the street back home. Already, she was counting the long, stressful hours before she saw Lilly again.

Lilly waved once at her girlfriend before slowly opening the door. Dropping her bag on the floor, Lilly saw a single light on in the kitchen. "Mom? I'm home!" Lilly heard her mom call from the kitchen and she slowly made her way down the hall, mentally preparing herself for the news her mom was finally going to give her.

The familiar click of the phone reminded Lilly of the several days her mom kept from telling her. Walking into the kitchen, Lilly found her mom at the table with her head in her hands. "Mom, what's wrong?" Her mom looked up with red-rimmed eyes. But she quickly averted her eyes as if ashamed of her actions. "Mom, what is it?" Lilly asked again with more force. Her mom was scaring her.

"Lilly, I'm sorry...These last couple of days...I've been talking to your father." Lilly's heard stopped and when it started beating again, it beat five times father than normal. "He's coming back and...he wants to see you."

Her whole world crashed.
