Chapter One

Lilly's POV

It's a weird concept, is time.

It never stops, not for anyone or anything.

Just keeps on going, flowing so easily, slipping through our fingers.

Seconds turn into minutes; minutes turn into hours, hours into days, days into months, months into years until, before you know it, you have no time left at all.

You can't stop it. Many've tried and failed, and many've wished with all their might that they could freeze it, just to savour a moment a little bit longer.

I was one of those people.

And now was one of those moments.

"W-What?!"

"I said I love you, Lilly."

I shook my head slowly, my mouth open as I stared at her in disbelief.

This couldn't be happening.

She couldn't be saying those words, not to me.

Of all the people in the entire world who could have told me they loved me, why did it have to be her?!

Why my best friend? And why the hell now?!

"M-Miley, I don't-"

"You don't have to say anything, Lilly. Not if you don't want to. I just…" she hesitated, glancing down at her hands for a second then back up at me as her rare shy side kicked in. "…I just thought you should know how I feel."

I couldn't believe it.

She smiled at me then, but it was the saddest smile I'd ever seen and it made my heart wrench painfully in my chest as I watched her turn and walk away, leaving me stood at the bottom of her driveway.

She didn't look back as she unlocked her door and slipped inside, closing it quietly behind her.

I hadn't moved in almost three minutes… and it felt like I'd never be able to again!

My brain seemed to have stopped working completely, leaving me stranded there, looking like an idiot as I stared at her front door, my mouth still open.

It took a whole minute before I was able to think straight, and then another two before I could move.

I blinked. Once, twice, three times.

Shaking my head slowly side to side, my mouth still gaping as I tried to find the right words, far too late.

As if in a daze, I turned and started walking.

Somehow I managed to get home, unlock the front door, lock it again behind me, kick off my shoes, drop my bag on the stairs and get all the way up to my room and onto my bed before I realised where the heck I was.

Now don't get me wrong, it was a good thing Miley had told me. A very good thing.

Because I loved her too, more than anything.

But I'd all but given up on anything ever happening, because I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that she was straight and SO not interested in me.

I was her best friend, for god's sake!

We'd known each other since she moved to Malibu from Texas three years ago now. We shared everything, told each other everything, the way it should be with best friends.

But… I'd never shared everything. Not that. I couldn't.

But now- it was- it was just-

For god's sake, I was still reeling from the events of the day before she decided to tell me how she felt!

It had started off so normal, like any other day.

But by the time lunch finally came around, I just wanted it to be over so I could go home and scream into a pillow.

I hated school with a passion.

It wasn't enough that I had to go there five days a week and sit through hours of endless, boring torture that I didn't give a damn about, but I also got fucking tormented by Amber and Ashley and looked down on by Jake fucking Ryan all day every day.

It was enough to drive a girl insane!

I had no freedom at school, where I was watched by the teachers and all the kids; I had no freedom at home where I was watched by my parents! The only time I had that I actually looked forward to each day was the precious moments I had alone with Miley.

And even they were becoming few and far between lately.

I hated my life. It seriously sucked.

I hated how unfair it was.

I never got anything I wanted, no matter how hard I worked or how hard I tried; it was always me getting stepped on by everyone else.

So I had just about given up on everything.

Especially my feelings for Miley.

But just as I let it all go, that's when the tables finally decided to turn!

In the space of a few short hours, everything had changed completely.

And all of it, it seemed, in my favour.
