AN:
I'm so glad you guys like this story! I wasn't really planning on keeping it going, but since you asked nicely... :)
----
I'm dreaming. That's the only logical explination I've got for why this happened to me. I can hear what all girls think, whether I want to or not.
Sure, it brought me and Lilly together, and I'm one hundred percent thankfull for that, but it's still too weird. There has to be a catch somewhere. You can't just wake up one day being able to do these things.
So I decided to take my problem to the internet. The only things I found that are even close to my situation are mutant, like from X-Men, or this junk from ancient legends.
I gave up hope for a reason and just decided to blame my luck. I mean, maybe someone up there just really likes me? Seriously though, who on Earth can pull off being Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart, having the best friends and family in the world, and be able to hear women's thoughts?!?!
No one. No one...but me.
"You feeling okay?" Oliver asked me during second period. His voice knocked me out of my deep thought.
"Yeah." I tried to smile. "I was just up all night. I was searching the web for a possible reason why all this is going on."
"Any luck?" He lowered his voice as the bell rang.
"Nope." I sighed.
"Well from what I can see you got pretty lucky with Lilly." He smirked. I tried not to laugh, or even smile.
"What all did she tell you?" I hoped she didn't say everything. I'm not too comfortable with the idea of Oliver knowing what me and Lilly did yesterday afternoon.
"She said you guys did some talking and actually kissed." He whispered. His smile showed that he was amazed.
"Yeah." I smiled, secretly relieved. "It was..."
"Awesome? Amazing? Wonderful? Hot? Sexy..." Oliver smirked while flipping the pages in his book.
"Easy, boy." I whispered. "Don't get too worked up."
"Speaking of getting...worked up." He said quietly. I was almost afraid he was going to ask if me and Lilly did more then just kiss. "Since you can hear what girls think...if they're like...dreaming, or even day dreaming...can you see it? Like if some girl is having a...fantasy. Can you actually see it?"
"Kind of." I whispered to him. "I can only hear or see what the girl is thinking about at that moment. Like if they have a mental image of their dog, then yeah, I can see it. But I have to really focus on it. It's hard to see because it's not just like watching the TV. The image can change from puppies to food in less then a second and my own mental images and thoughts can get mixed in. I have to really concentrate to see."
"Wow." Oliver sighed. "Sounds hard."
"It is." I replied.
"But...can you see their...can you see it if they're having a fantasy?" He grinned.
"Yes, Oliver, I can." Stupid boys.
"Is it...hot?" He smirked.
"Oliver." I gave him a warning tone.
"Okay, okay." He looked disapointed. "But can you tell me which girls think about it a lot?"
"Oliver!" I whispered.
"Okay, fine." He muttered. "But do any of them think about me naked?"
I pinched his arm instead of yelling at him since class had started. Thankfully he stopped asking questions after that.
I couldn't wait until lunch. When it finally got around to coming I ran to the cafeteria. I didn't even bother getting food, I wanted one thing, and one thing only. Lilly.
"Hey." I greeted her, sneaking in a quick kiss on the lips.
"Miley..." She muttered, blushing and looking around the cafeteria. No one had seen the kiss so she relaxed.
"What...you don't want our relationship to go public?" I asked her, smiling.
"Relationship?" She smiled and looked at me. "I didn't know we we're going out."
"Actually we're not." I tilted my head to the side and her smile started to fade. I smiled again and looked straight into her eyes. "Do you wanna go out with me? Girlfriend and girlfriend style."
She smiled so bright that it must have hurt her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around me and hugged me so tight that I swear one of ribs almost broke.
"Yes!" She laughed. "Yes! Oh my god, you have no idea how long I've wanted this."
"Lilly..." I said quietly as she let go of me.
"Yeah?" She smiled and held on to my hand.
"If I kiss you again...in public...will it be okay?" I asked, a soft smile still on my lips. She thought it over and looked around us. No one was really watching, but when we locked eyes again her thoughts showed they she wanted people to watch.
"Yes." She smiled. "Unless I kiss you first."
"I'm okay with that." I laughed.
Without another word she closed her eyes and pressed her lips against mine. We sat their kissing for I don't know how long. Oliver's tray hitting the lunch table brought us back to reality.
When we pulled apart more then just a few people had been staring. I just smiled and looked at Oliver, ignoring all their faces. Lilly just focused on her food, a hidden smile on her face.
"Having fun?" Oliver asked as he sat down across from us, our hands together under the table.
"More then we need to at school." I laughed as Lilly stuck a french fry in my face.
"Why don't you have any food?" She asked as I chewed.
"I was too excited to see you." I confessed with a small smile. She gave me a lovey dovey ooey gooey smile before sliding her tray over so we could share.
"I bet you two will be the only thing this school talks about for the rest of the day. Everyone will hear about you guys making out at lunch." Oliver told us while starting to eat his food.
"Let them talk." Lilly replied. "We don't care."
I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"It sure didn't take you guys long to go PDA." He said with his mouth full.
"Well sorry if I can't keep my hands off her. She's just too sexy." I replied. Oliver almost started choking. Lilly pushed me in a playfull way.
"Stop it." She muttered while blushing and smiling off to the side. "You don't want him to have a heart attack."
"Well after all the perverted things he was asking me about this morning he should be in pain." I laughed.
"About what?" She asked before sipping on her milk.
Oh crap. I can't lie to Lilly! What am I gonna say?!?! I can't just blurt out that I can read her mind!!
Can I?
Oliver had the same thoughts and looked at me with wide eyes.
"Well...actually...there's something I need to tell you." I started slowly. She dropped her spork and looked at both of us. Her thoughts got more and more stressed as the silence went on. Her mind was in panic mode, but on the outside she looked perfectly fine.
"What?" She asked quietly.
"I...um...I know this is going to sound crazy." I took a deep breath and Oliver watched us closely. "But I now that we're official I want you to know everything about me. Even more then a best friend should know. And to do that...I have to tell you my biggest secret."
"Miley...I kind of already know your biggest secret." She smiled slightly but the concerne stayed.
"Well...yes, but...not the new one." I said slowly and bit down on my bottom lip. She just stared at me as her thoughts swirled around in panic. She considered that I might be pregnant, but that was dropped quickly. She thought that maybe I had cancer or something, but she decided that a best friend would hear about that stuff.
"What is it? Does Oliver already know about it?" She asked, her voice showing how hurt she was.
"Lilly...it's not that I didn't want you to know...it's just that I couldn't let you know. Not yet. It's too...and I didn't even know how long it would last." I tried to explain.
"Miley, you can tell me anything. I'm not just saying that because I'm your best friend, or because I'm your girlfriend. I'm saying that because I care about you." She told me.
"Okay...but promise you won't freak out." I told her quietly.
"I promise." She said while staring straight into my eyes.
"I can hear what every girl is thinking." I figured it's like a band-aid. Rip it off fast.
She didn't respond at first. At least...not out loud.
Hear what every girl is thinking? That's not possible. If she can hear what I'm thinking then...wait...
She looked from me to Oliver, then back to me.
Miley? Can you really hear this? What I'm thinking right now?
I bit my bottom lip and nodded. Her eyes grew wide and her mouth fell open. Her hand left mine.
What?! How?! Why?! How!?!?!
I shook my head.
"I don't know. I don't know how or why...but I can." I told her quietly. I almost forgot that Oliver was watching us.
How long? How long have you been able to do this?
"Since yesterday morning." I confessed in whisper.
"But that means..." Her voice trailed off into her thoughts.
That means you heard everything I thought yesterday? Even before we kissed??
I focused all my energy on following her thoughts. Mental images came to the front of her mind faster then you could blink. I barely caught a glimpse of what she was thinking before it disapeared. I saw my own face multiple times. I saw us yesterday afternoon, from Lilly's eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Lilly." I said quietly. "I'm so sorry."
You cheated.
"What?" I was seriously confused.
This is why you were so good yesterday. You could hear my thoughts! You cheated.
I smiled.
"Sorry, but it's not like I can just turn this thing off." I whispered.
So you have no idea how? I mean, no idea at all?! This is so weird.
"No idea." I whispered. I never realized how much Lilly's mind changed from one thought to another. "But you could you try and stay on one subject? You're mind is so...it hurts my brain trying to keep up."
"Sorry..." She muttered.
Hey! You're the one spying on my brain.
"Right..." I smiled. "Sorry."
"Okay, I'm lost." Oliver's voice made us both look at him. "Why are we all so sorry?"
Doughnut.
I laughed and Lilly joined me.
"What?" He asked. We laughed harder at how confused he was.
This could be fun.
"A lot of fun." I agreed while looking over at her. She smiled before kissing my lips again.
----
Is anyone going to be home?
School was over and we were walking towards the hosue. Just me, Oliver, and Lilly.
I shook my head no.
Good. There are some things I wanna do.
I smiled and she reached for my hand. I loved the feeling of us holding hands. Not that we didn't do it before we became a couple, it's just that us holding hands has became more of a symbol of our love in a simple way we could show it. If that makes sense...
Oliver looks uncomfortable.
I wish Lilly could hear my thoughts too. That way there's nothing between us. Nothing that seperates us. But then again, I'm kind of glad I can keep my thoughts to myself. It's kind of embarrassing...some of the things Lilly thinks...everyone thinks strange thoughts so you can't stop yourself from thinking them. But actually hearing Lilly think them is just...weird.
"Is it too quiet for you?" I questioned Oliver.
"Yes." He said quickly and looked the other way.
Maybe he's jealous of us. Being a couple and all...
"No...I think he's just lonely." I whispered so quietly that Oliver didn't hear a word.
"So...what are we doing today?" Oliver asked while folding his arms over his chest.
"Actually..." I trailed off. I didn't want to tell him that he wasn't invited to our love party.
Crap, he's going to be so mad at us. You tell him.
"Why me?" I turned to look at Lilly.
Because...just do it!!
"Fine." I muttered as Oliver frowned at us.
I took a deep breath and we slowed our walking speed.
"I'm really sorry, Oliver but...we kind of want to spend tonight...together." I could have worded that better.
"Okay." He shrugged. "But what does that have to do with me?"
"No...I mean we want to be alone." I cleared it up for him.
"Oh..." He stopped walking with a frown.
"Sorry." Lilly muttered.
"No, I'm sorry." He muttered before walking faster again. He didn't look at us or speak until we reached his street and he took off after muttering bye.
"He's so mad at us." Lilly spoke...not that she needed to.
"It'll be okay. He'll be okay." I replied as she rested her head on my shoulder as my house came into veiw.
"Do you think..." She stopped talking out loud as a lady ran by.
That you'll ever go back to being normal Miley? Not this new mind-reader Miley?
"You make it sound like I'm a Barbie or something." I sighed.
Sorry.
"It's okay." I told her as we walked up the path to the front door. "At least we've got the house to ourselves for an hour or two."
She kissed my lips and smiled.
I love you.
"I love you too." I whispered as we kissed again.
I opened the door and we walked in while making out. It was hard but got the door shut and locked behind us without seperating our lips. We dropped our bags and ran up the stairs.
We were laughing by the time I got my door opened, but when it opened we seperated and stared with wide eyes and open mouths.
Jackson was sitting on my bed with his shirt off, kissing some girl.
"Jackson!" I was going to scream, but I couldn't do it.
"Oh!" He yelped while standing up and pulling his shirt over his head...backwards. "God! Don't you knock?"
"What the...? Jackson this is my room!" I yelled at him. He stopped moving and looked around.
"It is?" He asked with puzzled look.
I think your brother's high.
I just nodded and walked closer to him.
"Jackson? Are you feeling okay?" I asked him in a calmer voice. The girl stood up and ran to the door. I never saw her face.
"Psssh...I'm just as fine as a..." He stopped smiling and frowned. His face went pale and his cheeks went a green-ish color. "...oh god!"
He ran out of the room and into the bathroom. I could hear is hurls even after Lilly shut the door.
"Wow." She muttered.
Who knew Jackson would be a pot head?
"Let's just hope my dad doesn't find out about this. Or whatever he's on." I sighed and sat on my bed.
Uh...Miley.
I looked over at Lilly when she started giggling. I couldn't stop from laughing when I saw a bra sitting on my lamp. Lilly picked it up and tossed it to me.
"Ew!" I shrieked and pushed it to the floor.
Geez, you didn't do that yesterday. If I remember it correctly, you were just about dieing to get my bra off of me.
"Shut up." I laughed.
"I didn't say anything." She smirked.
"Whatever." I smiled.
Whatever...your face!
I mocked surprise. "Lilly!"
"Oh...just kiss me." She said in a fake dramatic voice. She walked over to me and pushed her lips on mine so hard that it knocked us both backwards so that I was on my back and she was on top of me.
"I love you." I whispered into her ear.
I love you more. She thought as she made the kiss deeper. Our tongues danced together.
Just think...Jackson and that girl could be on your bed doing this right now.
"Ew!" I muttered and rolled us over so that I was on top. I pushed myself off Lilly and sat next to her.
"What?" She asked out loud.
"Sorry if I don't like thinking about my brother kissing some girl on my bed." I told her, wishing again I couldn't hear her thoughts. Is she gonna ruin every moment like this?
"Sorry Miley." She muttered in a tone that told me she wasn't loving the mind reading thing right now either.
"Let's just...pretend like it didn't happen." I tried to smile and pulled her closer to me. Our lips met and soon our tongues did too.
God I love kissing you. It's way better then any of the guys I've kissed. Better then Lucas and Oliver...
"You kissed Oliver?" I asked in shock, seperating our lips. Her cheeks went red.
"You weren't suppose to know that." She whispered. "You can't tell Oliver I told you...or thought about it, I mean."
"I won't say anything." I promised just before she attacked my lips.
Don't even worry about it. It happened years ago. It meant nothing.
"You don't think that's why he's been so jealous about us spending time together...do you?" I asked while she kissed my neck.
No! Ew, no. It's just like you said...he's just lonely. I think. What if he IS jealous of you? For being with me...
I grabbed on to her shoulders and pushed her off me again as her thoughts started wondering what it would be like to kiss Oliver again.
"Lilly!" I whispered.
"What? I can't help it that you're in my head." She replied while standing up and crossing her arms. "You know, I'm starting to get really tired of this mind reading crap."
"Oh, really?" I asked standing up. I was more upset then I thought. "You're getting tired of it? Well I'm sorry, Lilly. I'm sorry I have to walk around hearing the personal thoughts of every freakin girl around me. I'm sorry I can't stop myself of hearing every word you think. I'm sorry that I can't just flip this on and off. And I'm sorry that we have to fight like this. But you wanna know something I'm not sorry for? This gift. It brought us together Lilly. I know it totally sucks sometimes...but if this never happened then who knows where we'd be right now."
"I didn't think about it like that." She said quietly while dropping her arms to her sides. I grabbed one of her hands and held on to it.
"I really am sorry that I have to invade your privacy like this Lilly. I really really am." I told her. She gave me a small smile.
"It's okay. I know you can't stop it." She replied quietly.
But it still sucks. Why can't it just go away? We're together! Why can't whoever or whatever gave this gift to you take it back?
"I don't know, Lilly." I whispered. "But we have to make the best of it."
How?
"We have to set some rules." I sat down on the bed. She walked forward and sat next to me.
"Rules?" She questioned out loud.
"Yes, rules. Like...I'll try to stay out of your head as much as I can, but if I hear something that you didn't want me to then I'll just have to pretend I never heard it. I can do that much for you." I squeezed her hand gently.
"You'd do that for me?" She asked with a lovey dovey smile.
"Yeah." I smiled. She kissed my lips softly.
"I guess..." She started and looked around the room. "I guess I could be more understanding with this. I'll try to not blow up every time you hear something I didn't want you to."
"Thank you." I said softly. She kissed me again, this time making it longer.
"Why don't we go down to the beach?" She suggested.
"That sounds great." I replied.
Yeah. I really want something from Rico's. All this drama is making me really hungry.

AN: Yay! Sorry it's been taking so long to update my other stories...I'm trying to write a little bit for each every day.
