Chapter 1

xx

Lilly, who was 21, was packing things up at her dad's house. He had passed away July 7th, which was two weeks ago. Andy and Kristie had come down to Florida to help with the funeral and everything. They had left their 5 year old son, Daniel, with Robbie and Heather. "I'm glad your brother convinced you to come back to Cali with us." Kristie told Lilly.

Lilly sighed. She didn't want to go with them, but she didn't want to stay in that house anymore. "I just hate leaving my job." She worked as an accountant. Her dad had gotten her into his business.

"Yeah, but your company said they'd transfer your position to the branch in Malibu." Kristie replied.

"I know.." Lilly responded. She got more things together. "So when are we leaving here?"

"Andy has a couple friends helping out with getting rid of stuff. Our flight leaves at 6 tonight." Kristie answered.

"Great." Lilly muttered, under her breath. Then she got back to work, stacking boxes in the kitchen area.

Kelsy was at Miley and Nick's house with Miley. She had also brought her and Kevin's son and daughter Melody, who was 5 years old, and Carter, who was 6 months. Kelsy and Kevin had gotten married the July after Melody was born. "I like what you guys did with the living room." Kelsy told Miley.

"Thanks." Miley smiled. She and Nick had moved in together a year ago, they were engaged, but they wanted to wait to get married. "It was Nick's idea."

Kelsy laughed. "Of course." Kevin and Kelsy had moved to their home in New Jersey, but they spent a lot of time in Malibu with their family too.

"Aunt Miley, can I watch my Barbie movie?" Melody asked.

"Sure, sweetie." Miley answered. "You can just go up to the room you sleep in sometimes and watch it there."

"Thanks. I hope Barbie doesn't dump Todd this time." Melody grinned and went upstairs. She looked a lot like Kevin, she even had long curly hair.

"She's so funny." Miley laughed. She had stopped performing as Hannah Montana when she graduated high school. She retired Hannah and then she went to college.

"So...Lilly's coming back." Kelsy mused.

"I know." Miley replied. "She's only been back to visit about 3 times since she moved. It'll be weird having her back here." Lilly had changed a lot since she left. She didn't care about her old interests, all she cared about anymore was work.

Kelsy nodded. "I know, I feel bad, though, about her losing her dad."

"Me too." Miley agreed. "How do you think Joe will take it?"

"Not well." Kelsy responded. Joe hadn't been himself since Lilly left. He'd adjusted, but he just became a different person. He didn't help with songwriting anymore, and he got drunk every night.

Nick and Kevin walked into the house. "We're back." Nick called.

Miley got up and went over to the walkway. "Shut up, Carter is asleep." Then she laughed. "Did you guys find anything good?" They had gone to rent some movies.

"Not really." Kevin answered. "Nick, here, wouldn't agree on anything."

Kelsy followed Miley to the walkway. "Nothing?"

Miley shook her head. "Nick is to disagreeable."

"I'm going to go upstairs and grab a movie or two." Nick told Miley. He went past Miley and Kelsy and up to the guest room upstairs. "Hey, kid." He smiled at Melody.

"Hi, uncle Nick." Melody looked up from the tv. "Guess what?"

"What?" Nick asked.

"You're just like Uncle Jesse from Full House!" She responded.

"I am?" Nick questioned.

"Uh huh. I watched that show this morning." Melody replied. "He sings and plays music just like you do!"

"You're right." Nick laughed.

"And I even have an uncle Joey too, but he's not really like Joey on Full House." Melody went back to watching Barney.

Nick felt bad, he wanted to say something, but he didn't want to have to explain anything to her. He went to the side of the room and found a couple movies.

Late that night, Lilly, Andy, and Kristie got to the airport where Robbie was picking them up. Heather was at home with Danny. "Lilly, it's good to see you again." Robbie hugged Lilly and took the two bags she was carrying from her.

"It's good to see you too." Lilly gave him a sad smile.

The four of them made sure they had all the bags and everything before leaving. "You can run and grab Danny when we get there. I'll put the stuff in our car." Andy told Kristie.

"Ok." Kristie agreed. "You can text me if you need anything." Kristie said quietly to Lilly.

"I know, thanks." Lilly responded.

Robbie pulled up to the house and he helped Lilly get her things in the house. Andy and Kristie did what they had decided and then left.

"Honey, I'm so happy to have you home." Heather hugged her daughter and kissed the top of her head. Heather had gone to visit Lilly a few times with Robbie, but it was different knowing that she was actually back.

"It's good to be here.." Lilly lied. She brought some of her stuff upstairs to her old room. Then after getting things put up there, she decided she'd unpack the next day. She was tired, so she went to sleep early.

Ok, so that was pretty short, but it'll be longer next time. I just wanted to go into things a little and show you where everyone stands in the future. Lilly and Joe will see each other again in the next chapter I think. So review if you want it soon. Let me know how the first chapter was.
