Author's Note: Just so everyone knows my computer seriously went crazy on me, screwing up my story, and causing me to lose everything I had on my computer so I have to rewrite all these chapters! Yay! I know things are going to be a bit different so sorry! =[

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the main characters in this story even though I wish I did.

I love her and that's the beginning of everything.

He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie."

It was nearly two in the morning when Miley Stewart's cell phone went off by her head. Rolling onto her stomach and throwing one of her hundreds of pillows on her bed at her alarm clock, she suddenly realized it was her phone. Her eyes shot open and she looked at her the alarm clock on the ground now.

1:52 A.M.

But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me

Realizing her phone was still going off, she quickly grabbed her phone off the night stand. She couldn't help but smile as she saw Lilly's face on the caller ID.

"Hello?" she answered still trying to wake up

"Miles, I need to talk to you." she heard her best friend say on the other line, realizing what time it was Miley became worried, "Are you alright?"

"I am fine Miley, I just... I really need to tell you something and it can't wait any longer." Miley's heart started beating faster, not wanting to get ahead of herself she took a deep breathe, "What...what is it that you want to tell me?"

"I can't do tell you this over the phone." Lilly sighed on the other line and Miley's mind began wandering once again, "Can we meet at our tree?" she heard Lilly ask shaking her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah... yeah, of course." she replied running her hand through her brown curls, "I'll meet you there in five minutes."

"Miley one more thing." Lilly stood up from her bed and looked out her bedroom window at the stars.

"Yeah?"

"Just promise that no matter what happens... we will always be best friends okay?" Lilly rubbed her eyes, she hadn't slept much lately, and she had been fighting with her parents for two days now about this.

"I don't know what is going on Lils, but I promise." replied Miley as she gave Lilly.

"I'll see you soon Miles." said Lilly with a small smile before hitting the end button on her phone.

Miley looked at her alarm clock again.

2:04 A.M.

Miley got up from her bed and picked it up placing it back on her night stand. Slipping on her Nike sneakers and grabbing her soccer jacket she began making her way down her stairs and to the tree Trevor, Lilly, and her had planted three springs ago. Once she was there she sat down and waited for Lilly.

"Hey." Lilly smiled as she sat down next to Miley.

"Hey." replied Miley turning her attention from the night sky to her best friend, "What is going on Lilly?"

Lilly's smile faded as she suddenly remember why she was there again, "This is so hard." muttered Lilly

"What is?" asked Miley

"Miley... I... I..." Lilly began stumbling on her words.

Miley's heart was starting to quicken. Was it possible that Lilly had feelings for her too?

"I just keep thinking that if I don't say it, if I don't say it out loud, then it's not real." Lilly kept rambling on, "And if it's not real then nothing will change... everything will just stay the same." Lilly rubbed her face with her hands.

"Lilly whatever it is, you can tell me." said Miley as she scooted closer to Lilly, "It's okay."

"Miley... I... I am moving back to Malibu."

Miley's heart broke at that last sentence. Lillywas not moving. She couldn't be... not after being here for six years...

"How long have you known this?" she finally mustered out.

"Two days now..." grumbled Lilly knowing she was about to be scolded.

"Then why haven't you told me!?"

"I hate seeing you hurt." answered Lilly, "Most of all I hate being the reason you are hurting." Lilly moved close enough to Miley to wrap her arms around the girl.

"I don't want to lose you Lilly." whispered Miley as she laid her head on Lilly's shoulder.

"You will never lose me Miley." whispered Lilly in Miley's ear, unknowingly causing goosebumps to go throughout Miley's body, "I love you Miley."

"I love you too Lilly."

Miley shot up in bed. Every night this past week she had beeng having the same recurring nightmare of the night Lilly had told her she was leaving. Immediatley reaching for the locket around her neck she she couldn't help but feel sad as she opened it and looked at the pictures it held.

"I can't believe you are really leaving Lilly." Miley cried hugging her best friend as they hugged good bye.

"I don't want to be!" whined Lilly into her best friends hair.

honk!

"Sweet niblets! Your parents seriously need to stop honking that dang horn." shouted Miley loud enough for Lilly's parents to hear, "I don't get why they stopped liking me Lils, it's just weird."

"Sorry Miles, you know I love you though right." said Lilly with a half smile.

"I love you too, Lilly."

"I got you something... you know so that you won't forget me." smirked Lilly as she watched Miley frown at her.

"Lillian Mia Truscott you know that will never happen!" scolded Miley as Lilly just smiled at her best friends freak out.

"You want your present or not?" laughed Lilly, as she pulled out the small box for Miley to take.

Inside was a beautiful white gold heart locket with their initials engraved on the back. Inside were two pictures, the one to the right was of the two of them at Miley's thirteenth birthday, wearing those impossible pointy birthday hats that strap under your chin. They were covered from head to foot in frosting and cake from the previous cake fight. To the left, was a picture at their combined Sweet Sixteen party, much more mature of course, no more of the pointy hats... but still covered in the cake and frosting. Miley could not hold it back any longer.

"What am I going to do without you Lils?" cried Miley, "It's our senior year! What amd I supposed to do without my best friend?"

"It's going to be okay Miles." tried Lilly as she wrapped her best friend in a hug, "We are going to call each other all the time! Not to mention you are still going have Trevor, and he's great."

"Lilly hurry it up!" yelled Heather Truscott yelled from the jeep.

"I'm coming mother!" yelled back a very annoyed Lilly, didn't they get she was saying goodbye to her best friend, "Miley...."

"I know... I love you Lilly."

"I love you too Miley."

Maybe just maybe if she had known quite how much that I love you had really meant to me she would not have continued that sentence...

"You will always be my best friend."

Hearts are as fragile as glass... and sometimes it is better to leave them broken rather than getting hurt all over again by trying to put it back together.
