The Truth Is Out There

"Miley, you're Hannah Montana?" Meghan exclaimed.

"Umm...," Miley said, still in shock.

"I cannot believe this!" Meghan said.

"Are...are you mad?" Miley asked nervously.

"Mad?!" Meghan said. "Why would I be mad?"

"Cause you told her the truth about you but she totally lied right to your face," Oliver said. "On several occasions."

"Thank you, Oliver," Miley said through gritted teeth.

"Well," Meghan said. "He does make a good point. But it's okay."

"Really?" Miley said, sitting down on the sofa.

"Of course," Meghan said. "I mean, the less people who know, the less chances there are of it getting out, right?"

"You know what," Robbie Ray said. "I think I'm gonna go take a bath." He quickly went upstairs.

"So you're not mad?" Oliver asked.

"No," Meghan said. "Now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense. I'm feel kinda silly for not connecting the dots. It must've been annoying though, having to hear all of my stories twice, huh?"

"No...," Miley said, smiling.

"So if you're Hannah," Meghan said. "That makes you..." She turned to Oliver. "Mike Stanley III?"

"Guilty as charged," Oliver said.

"And Lily's...," Meghan began.

"Lola Luftnagle," Miley finished, nodding.

"What I don't get, though," Meghan said to Oliver. "Is why you acted all different when you were Mike. He was really...special."

"I thought you'd think I was cool," Oliver confessed.

"Mike Stanley is so not cool," Meghan said. "But Oliver Oken totally is."

"Thanks," Oliver said, blushing.

"Well," Miley said. "I feel a lot better now that you know."

"I'm glad you do," Meghan said. "This really explains the comment about Nick Jonas, though."

"Yeah," Miley said, sighing. "He is sooo cute!"

"Can't argue with you there," Meghan said, grinning. The girls giggled.

"Um," Oliver said. "Could we keep the chick chat to a minimum, please?"

Meghan and Miley both rolled their eyes. "Do you guys wanna go hang out at my house now?" Meghan asked.

"Um, you think your mom will be okay with that?" Oliver asked, his voice laced with fear.

"She's out with my aunt," Meghan said. "She won't be back for a while."

"Oooh," Miley said mockingly. "Is Ollie afraid of the big bad ex-Broadway star?"

"N-no," Oliver said, puffing out his chest. "I just want to respect her, uh, personal space and, uh, stuff."

"Sure," Meghan said, grinning.

"Wow," Lily said as she and Jackson left the movie theatre. "That was a horrible movie."

"I know," Jackson said, laughing. "James Bodego cannot act for his life."

"You wanna go down to the beach?" Lily asked.

"Sure," Jackson replied. They walked down to the beach and sat down on the sand.

"I'm really sorry for the way I acted this past week," Jackson said.

"It's okay," Lily said, smiling warmly. "You were just trying to get Miley to talk to me again."

"Yeah," Jackson said. "But Meghan seemed to fix that pretty well."

"She kinda rocks that way, eh?" Lily said.

"Definitely," Jackson said, nodding in agreement. "You know, I gotta be honest. I really missed you this week."

Lily blushed. "Me too."

"It's just so weird," Jackson said. "We've known each other so long, but we never really knew each other, you know?"

"Yeah," Lily said, nodding. "To think I used to hate Meghan; but if it hadn't been for her, none of this would have happened."

"Kinda puts a whole knew meaning on everything happens for a reason, eh?" Jackson said.

"Absolutely," Lily replied. "I just hope Miley's going to be okay with all this."

"Does it really matter?" Jackson asked.

"Of course it does," Lily said.

"So you wouldn't want to be friends if Miley wasn't okay with it?" Jackson asked, concerned.

"I would want to," Lily said. "But I don't know if I could, you know?"

"Yeah," Jackson said. "Sometimes you've got to hide what you really feel when you're afraid what someone might think."

"Exactly," Lily said. "Sometimes, you get confused about what you're feeling, but you're too afraid things would get worse if you told somebody."

"Yeah," Jackson said, leaning closer to Lily. "It's like, you want to follow your heart, but you don't want to ruin something for somebody else."

"Uh huh," Lily said, nodding. "But it's not really your fault. It's like all these feelings came out of nowhere."

"And you're not really sure what to do with them," Jackson said, bringing himself closer to Lily.

"Exactly," Lily said, also inching closer to Jackson. "Life is weird that way, huh?"

"Absolutely," Jackson said, leaning forward, so that his and Lily's noses were touching. They closed their eyes, their lips about to touch, when Lily's phone rung out into a chorus of 'Nobody's Perfect'. She pulled away from Jackson, took out her phone and flipped it open. "Hey Dad," she said. "I'm out. Yes, I'll be home in time for 'Are You Dumber Than A Dog?'. Don't worry. I'm leaving right now, okay? Bye." She closed her phone. "Sorry, Jackson. I gotta go. See you at school?"

"Sure," Jackson said as Lily got up and walked away. "See ya." He was grinning ear to ear.
