A/N: So I wrote this like almost over a year ago and meant to post it but never did. Its my first fan fiction ever, and personally I don't think its that great and maybe I'll rewrite it someday,but for now I just figured I'll put it out there. Anyways, here it is. I hop at least one person likes it. I have like 3 more chapters written. Let me know if I should post them or not.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hannah Montana or the song Realize by Colbie Caillat (title and used in later chapter)

Chapter 1: Revelation

Miley POV

I didn't know when I had started to feel this way. Never before had I thought of Oliver in any other way but a friend, but now, watching him flirt with some girl at Rico's, felt like a stake had been driven into my heart. Maybe I had always liked him, but was to scared to realize it. We were friends, best friends and I cherished his friendship, and if we went out and broke up, I didn't know how I would deal without having him in my life.

But maybe, maybe there was a possibility that it might possibly work out and we would be happy. But I didn't know how one goes about dating their best friend. I did know that I definitely had to talk to Lily, she would have the answer. I reached over to my purse lying on the table to grab my phone while glancing over at Oliver, no longer talking to the girl, but eating a hot dog. I remembered when I to used to think it was gross how he ate his food, but recently I had begun finding it endearing the way he shoved food in his mouth. She didn't know why, but she liked watching him eat. Wow, she had never noticed how stalkerish that sounded until now. I guess I just had a fascination with his lips. I watched as his lips wrapped around the straw of his smoothie and longed for them on mine. I picked up my phone and dialed Lily's number out of instinct. But then I got sucked in to him again as he flipped his gorgeous hair out of his eyes. I didn't even realize when Lily had picked up her phone. She had said "hello" like three or four times before I realized.

"Hello, earth to Miley." I was shaken out of my day dream.

"Oh, hey sorry." I said feeling my cheeks become slightly red.

"It's okay, where are you?" she asked.

"I'm at the beach, but I really need to talk to you." I replied.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few--" I interrupted her "NO! We can't talk here. How 'bout you come to my house"

She replied hesitantly "Right, I'll be there in a few, um, do I need to bring Oliver?"

"Absolutely NOT!! It's a girl thing" I replied probably too quickly. "Sure, I'll see you in a few. Bye." She finished questioningly. "Yeah, bye"

Then I rushed to my house, and started pacing back and forth in the living room waiting for her to get here. I can't remember when my life got so complicated. It had always been complicated because of the Hannah secret but never had my Miley life been so dramatic.

I couldn't get Oliver out of my head. I wonder if he likes me. Am I kidding myself, of course he doesn't like me, not like that. I was like a sister to him, and that hurt. Then I heard Lily coming, that girl could never be quiet. She walked through the door and I immediately grabbed her hand and we ran upstairs.

When we got up there and I closed my door, we went into the Hannah closet to get more privacy. All the while, Lily had been looking at me curiously and slightly frightened. Once I closed the door to the closet she immediately asked me "What is up Miley? You are acting so strange."

"I have something major to tell you." I replied.

"Okay, spill."

"I think I'm in love with Oliver." said nervously. What she said next surprised me. She was looking at me anxiously waiting for my news, and when I didn't say anything she simple said. "That's it?"

"Yeah, that's pretty major."

"Yeah your right, if I hadn't know since like two hours after I met you."

I stared at her in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

"Miley, everyone knows that you like Oliver and Oliver likes you." she told me as if I should know this.

"What? Oliver doesn't like me. And I just figured out I liked him like a month ago. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I guess I thought you already knew and were just denying it." I sat down on the chair. "Wow… everyone knows?"

"Well everyone that knows you two and have ever been around you guys at the same time." she answered.

"Okay, well I feel stupid." I said sadly, how could I not have noticed this. I still doubted that he liked me, but how could I miss that I liked him for so long?

"Don't feel stupid, it happens to everybody." she said while placing her hand on my shoulder.

"So, what do I do?" I asked, anxiously awaiting her answer. I had never felt this way.

"Tell him." she replied simply. "I CAN'T DO THAT!" I practically yelled.

"Why not?" she asked clueless.

"Because what if he doesn't feel the same way?" I told her as if it was obvious. I don't want to get my heart broken.

"But he does, trust me he does, I think he is more in love with you than you are with him."

"How do you know that?" I asked seriously hoping he had told her or something.

"It's pretty obvious." she replied. But I still wasn't sure.

I didn't know how I was going to tell him how I felt but I guess I needed to figure out a way because I couldn't go on like this for too much longer.

A/N: I hope you guys liked it, please review, I need all the help I can get.
