So the last chapter was really short…because I wanted to see if people would like it. Yes, there will be more Jilly…and definitely some Kevin. Also, this is kinda a transition chapter to the tragedy's that will occur…so stick with me!

Please please please review. Thank you! Also, I forgot this in the first chapter. I don't own Hannah Montana/Miley Stewart/Miley Cyrus. However, I do own the Jonas Brothers. Just kidding. A girl can dream can't she?

StoryTagger: They're all older now….Nick's turning eighteen. So I'm pretending Lilly's only a month away or something.

Too Many Tears to Drown Them Out – Chapter 2

New York, New York

Nick's POV

"Niiiick! The wifey's here!" I wished Joe would stop calling her that. Him and Kevin both started calling her that after I gave her the ring.

As I walked down the stairs about to yell at Joe, I was shocked to see Kevin and Joe, along with Miley and Lilly and a whole bunch of suitcases by the door.

"What's going on?" I was immediately suspicious, although I didn't know what of. Miley simply smiled an innocent smile, "Why Nick, that's no way to treat the girl who's taking you to New York for your 18th birthday now is it?"

"You're what?" I turned around in shock, "We're going to New York, alone?"

Joe laughed. "Of course not, you don't get to have all the fun. Lilly and I will be joining you also." He winked at Lilly, and I cringed at the images of what the trip could possibly hold.

"Down boy." Lilly stated. She then proceeded to kiss him. They were definitely a very physical couple. Kevin awkwardly cleared his throat. All Joe did in response was hold up his purity ring.

"I'm not doing anything against the pact, bro. Let me enjoy what I've got." Everyone chuckled, and then turned back towards Miley expectedly.

She looked towards Keving, who started a drumroll, and then in her best game show host voice she announced what I had won. "Nick Jonas, along with winning the heart of Miley Cyrus, you get an all-expense paid trip to New York for five days and four nights. We will be flying by private jet, staying in luxurious hotels, go down memory lane with Broadway shows, eating at the finest restaurants, and shopping!"

Joe jumped up and down and clapped his hands at the mention of shopping. Lilly rolled her eyes, "He makes up for whatever girly I'm not". Everyone laughed.

"Wait, where's Oliver?"

"He's meeting us at the jet."

So after picking up my girl, twirling her around, and giving her some seriously good kisses, we were off.

Miley's POV

As we boarded the private air plane equivalent of Air Force One, everyone looked around in amazement. "It's my baby's 18th birthday! I wanted to make it really special!" I said in defense of the slightly ridiculous plane.

Kevin let out a slow whistle and sat down in front of the PS2. "So who wants to lose at Guitar Hero first?" I could hear Oliver bragging about his secret life as a guitar playing rock star, and how Kevin would be very embarrassed, but not much after that because Nick began talking to me, and I couldn't focus on anything besides his beautiful face.

"Miley, this is amazing. The plane, the fact that we're going to New York, and even better is the fact that we're going alone!

Kevin momentarily stood up from his jam session. "That reminds me. There are some rules. JOE AND LILLY COME OUT BECAUSE THESE APPLY TO YOU MOSTLY!"

Lilly and Joe sheepishly came out from god knows where, a little rumpled and clearly in the middle of something.

"As the responsible "adult" of the group it is my duty to inform you of the rules. 1) There must be some form of clothing on at all times. 2) Everyone must have their cell phone on at all times, we will be using the buddy system. 3) The girl's must stay in their own room…without Nick or Joe spending the night. However, I don't want to know what happens during the day. Oaken and I are going to find ourselves some lovely ladies, I can promise you that!!!"

Oliver stood up and went "Yeah, you know it! New York get ready for some Smokin' Oaken!"

Everyone just laughed at him, and returned to their respective activities. Nick returned his attention to me and said, "As I was saying, you are basically the best girlfriend ever."

I laughed at him, "Oh, I already knew that. It should be interesting to see if you can match your party for me." As his face immediately fell, I couldn't help but giggle.

"Don't worry Nick. I already have the best birthday present ever. You. And if it was just you and me in a shack, eating greasy fast food for my birthday meal, it would be the best possible birthday I could ever have."

He relaxed a little at this, and then kissed me. "Have I told you that I love you, and that you're gorgeous, and that you're the best girlfriend ever lately?

Our cute moment, was interrupted by Oliver screaming out the lyrics to "Welcome to the Jungle". Judging by the looks on Kevin's face, his eardrums had just been shattered by the tone def Oliver.

"It looks like it's going to be a long three hours."

I stared at Nick. "How did I get so lucky with you?" And then I wrapped my arms around his waist, never wanting to let go.

Nick's POV

"Attention all passengers, we are now beginning our descent into the New York area. If you could please wake up. That would be fantastic."

I yawned and looked down to see Miley's brown head on my chest. "Come, Josephine, in my flying machine, going up, she goes up,up she goes." Miley stirred, and looked up at me. "Good morning sunshine. We're landing in a few minutes."

"Goood. I can't wait to finally get some alone time with you. I feel like we've constantly been interrupted lately. By everyone possible."

"Don't worry Miles, I can already tell this is going to be a fabulous trip." And so as the plane landed in New York, New York, Miley and I were curled up together, Oliver was snoring, Kevin was playing guitar, and Joe and Lilly were doing exactly what Kevin asked by not telling us what they were doing.

I could hardly wait.
