Ok thanks everyone for reviewing or adding this story to story alert. I made this chapter extra long because I can't add any more chapters till Monday. I have a soccer tournment over the weekend.

Disclaimer: As always, I don't own HM!

Miley's POV

Knock. Knock. I was laying on my bed, flipping through a magazine when someone knocked on my door. "Come in," I called, never looking up.

"Hey bud, someone's here that you might want to see," My dad said coming into my room. I sat up and threw my magazine onto my desk.

"Who?" I said. I had a feeling I knew who it was.

"Lilly," My dad said before leaving my room. I knew she would probably be the first one I would see. After all, she was dating my brother. I don't understand why. Jackson is weirder than Uncle Earl wearing a dress, I thought as I headed downstairs.

""Hey Miles," Jackson said, walking over to give me a hug.

"Hey Jackson," I said, hugging him back. We aren't super close, but I know he will always be there if I need him. We pulled away and I looked at Lilly. She was looking at me with no expression on her face.

"Hi Lilly," I said quietly. I sat down on the chair beside her. I couldn't help but remember the time we were practicing for cheerleading tryouts and she flipped over the house. Those were the times, even though I now remember having to wear that disgusting mascot helmet.

"Why are you smiling," Lilly asked me, almost annoyed sounding.

"I was remembering when we were practicing for cheerleading tryouts and you flipped over the chair," I said. Saying it out loud made me start laughing. Lilly started to laugh.

"And you had to be a mascot, because you had so much energy, "she said laughing. I giggled.

"And then I start to fight with that stupid bird," I said. I hung my head in embarrassment.

"Then I didn't want to quit and we got into a fight. I ended up thinking about you during a hurkey and hurting myself," she said, stopping her laughter. I frowned.

"I'm sorry about that. I didn't want that to happen," I said sadly. Lilly smiled and walked over to me.

"Well, I forgave you. You were my best friend. And still are," she said. I grinned up at her.

"Really?!" I said excitedly. She nodded. Squealing, I stood up and hugged her. "I'm soo sorry, Lilly."

"It's ok Miles. I didn't try to get in touch with you either," she said when we pulled away. Jackson walked over to us.

"Wasn't that when Dad paid me to unclog the sink," he said sitting down onto the couch. Lilly sat down next to him. Jackson put his arm around Lilly. That is something I need to get used to, I thought to myself. "And one of the times the bottom sprayed all over Oliver," he said chuckling. Lilly laughed.

"Speaking of Oliver how is he?" I asked.

Lilly's POV

I froze when Miley asked about Oliver. "Uh... um," I mumbled. Jackson started to rub my shoulder. "Well. He's been better," I started. Miley frowned,

"What are you talking about?"Miley asked. She looked like she was about to cry.

"After you left, he changed. A lot." I said. "I was the only person other than family he would talk to, and that was only at school. He takes a lot of walks, and is always seen with his dog, Destiny." Miley started to cry.

"And it's all my fault why he is like that," she cried loudly. I got up and sat down next to her.

"No, Miles. He was upset about his family," I informed her, rubbing her back. She looked at me confused. I took a deep breath and explained how his father died within the first week Miley left. I held the fact that he liked her away from her. Miley sighed and wiped her tears.

"I still feel responsible," she cried. I sighed and continued to rub her back.

"What if we go to visit him," I suggested. She smiled.

"I would like that," she said. I grinned.

"Come on then, let's go get you fixed up before we head over," I said, standing up. She nodded as she got up as well. We headed up to her room.

Oliver's POV

I was sitting at my computer, searching the web. I heard the doorbell ring, but I wasn't going to go downstairs to answer it. My mom could do that. I heard two voices talking with my mom. Whatever I thought, turning my attention back to the computer.

A couple seconds later, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in," I said. In walked Lilly and Miley. Wait, Miley's here. At my house. "What do you guys want?"

"Smokin' Okan to be back," Lilly said sitting down onto my bed. Miley just stood by the doorframe.

"What do you mean? I've been here the whole time," I said looking at Miley. Lilly sighed.

"You know what I mean Oliver," she said getting off my bed. "You two need to talk. Miles, I'll be downstairs." Lilly headed out the door.Miley nodded slightly.

"I see you are back in town," I said spinning my chair in her direction. She nodded.

"I got back yesterday," she said looking at her hands.

"Is there a reason why you're here?" I asked her, slightly annoyed. She sighed.

"I'm sorry Ollie. I'm a horrible friend," she cried. It broke my heart to watch her cry like that. And over me. Yes, I was mad at her, but she still was the girl that held part of my heart since the first time I met her. I walked over to her and pulled her into a hug.

"It's ok Miles," I said soothingly into her ear. "I'm not mad," I said. She looked at me and wiped her tears away. "Come on. Let's go get Lilly and we can go to Rico's." She smiled and led the way out the door.

Jackson's POV

"One hot dog please," some young boy asked me. "And hurry." I rolled my eyes as I got to work on it.

"Here you go," I said handing it to him. "Two dollars." The kid threw two bills onto the table before leaving.

"Thanks for the tip," I mumbled under my breath.

"Not everyone likes you," I heard a voice beside me say. I spun around. It was Lilly who spoke. She was with Oliver and Miley.

"Well, lucky for me, you do," I smiled before giving her a kiss.

"Eww," Miley and Oliver said with a laugh. I rolled my eyes at how immature my sister and her friends were. Miley and Oliver took seats while Lilly sat on the counter.

"I would like a Coke," Miley said.

"Make that two," Oliver said. I looked at them for a second before getting to work on their drinks. Those two were totally made for each other. If only they realized that. I handed them their cokes and a smoothie for Lilly.

"Want to go to the movies tonight?" I asked Lilly. She nodded and took a sip of her smoothie.

"Sure. Pick me up at my house?" she asked with a smile. I nodded and turned my attention to my sister and Oliver. They were laughing at something. I exchanged a look with Lilly. From someone looking at them, they might think that Miley and Oliver were going out. But we knew that they aren't. That was just the way their rriendship was.

Miley's POV

"Oliver, want to hang out at the beach tomorrow?" I asked him as we arrived at my house. Lilly and Jackson had already left to go on their date. Me and Oliver spent the rest of the day, hanging around at his house. Once it was getting late, he offered to walk me home.

"Sure. I'll meet you there at 10?" he suggested. I nodded.

"See you then," I said with a smile before heading into the house. My dad was sitting on the couch watching something on TV.

"Why are you so smiley?" he asked me as I went to sit down next to him.

"I've got my friends back," I replied with a giggle. He chuckled and put his arm around me.

"I told you they would forgive you bud," he said. I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I know. Thanks Daddy," I said, kissing his cheek. I got up and headed to my room. I got online and started to talk to Oliver on AIM.

SmileyMiley: Hey Ollie, what's up?

Smoken'Okan: The sky, bahaa.

Miley rolled her eyes at his reply before sending one of her own.

SmileyMiley: Great. Glad to know.

The two of them started to talk about the things she missed while she was gone.

Lilly's POV

I couldn't concentrate during the movie at all. I kept concentrating about Jackson and how he had his arm around me. I smiled as I rested my head onto his shoulder as he drove. "So Lilly-flower," he said, calling me by his nickname for me. "Did you enjoy the movie?" I chuckled.

"Yeah." I said. He pulled into the parking lot of the park. I got out and stretched. While I was doing this, Jackson sneaked up behind me and grabbed me by my waist. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. "Jackson!" I squealed. "Put me down," I laughed. He just laughed and brought me over to the sand. He dropped me down, gently enough so I wouldn't get hurt.

"Thanks Jackson!" I said sarcastically but with a smile. He just smirked.

"My pleasure," he said with a little bow.

"I'm going to get you," I said getting up. I started to chase him around the park.

"Ahh!' he pretended to scream as he ran. This only made me run harder.

Jackson's POV

After a little bit, I gave up. I couldn't run for that long, but apparently Lilly could. She caught up to me and hopped on my back. I grinned as I grabbed her legs.

"Enjoy your little run?" she whispered into my ear. Her breath on my ear sent shivers down my spine.

"Yeah," I said softly as I brought us over to the ice cream stand. I put Lilly down to the ground. "What kind do you want?"

"Chocolate Fudge Ripple," she said in an instant. I chuckled as I ordered that plus a peanut butter cup for me.

Once we got our cones, we headed over to a bench. "Want some?" she offered. I nodded. She smiled as she held the cone out for me. I lent foreword to try some. Next thing I knew, I felt something cold on my nose. She had pushed the cone onto my noise.

"Lilly!" I exclaimed laughing.

"What?" she said innocently. I smiled as I grabbed my cone and ran it down her cheek. She shrieked. I just laughed before eating some of my ice cream. She didn't like this. Lilly started to try and get some more ice cream all over me. Before long, we were getting into an ice cream fight.

Oliver's POV

I was glad to talk to Miley on the computer. I feel like it's easier to talk to people. We started talking about what she had missed. How Amber moved and now Ashley was a nobody. How Dandruff Danny was still a nobody, except he was tied for last now with Ashley. The little things.

Smoken'Okan: Yeah. I got a new puppy. Destiny is her name.

SmileyMiley: Really? I need to meet her sometime.

Smoken'Okan: I'll bring her with me to the beach.

SmileyMiley: Sweet.

SmileyMiley: I got to go. Daddy wants to talk to me about something or another.

SmileyMiley: Bye!

Smoken'Okan: Adios!

I was sad that she had to go. I realized I was never mad at her, but mad at myself for waiting to long. Maybe now that she is back something could happen between us. Yeah right, I told myself before changing and going to bed.

Robbie Ray's POV

"What's up Daddy?" My daughter came bouncing down the stairs and sat down next to me.

"I was just letting you know that tomorrow night you have an interview with DJ Kingston, and they want you to sing a song." I said acting like it was no big news. Miley hopped up and started to dance. I chuckled. She might be 17 now,(AN: Miley, Oliver, and Lilly are all 17, Jackson is 19) but she still acted like she was 12.

Just then the door opened and Jackson walked in.

"Sweet niblets, boy, I thought you were just taking Lilly to the movies," I exclaimed at the sight of him. He was covered in ice cream.

"I would ask but then I have to pretend I care, which I don't want to do," Miley said with a smile. I sighed. Even when they have been apart from each other for a while, they still fight like they always do. " Wait! You went on a date with Lilly. Spill!" she said suddenly getting excited. Jackson just grinned and zipped his lips and pretends to throw away a key. He just headed upstairs probably going to take a shower.

"Its fine, Jerkson! I'll get it out of Lilly!" Miley exclaimed following him. I just laughed and turned my attention back to the TV. Some things just never change.

Ok I hope you guys like this. I wasn't going to have the part with Lilly and Jackson in it, but I need to have some Lackson in this story. LOL. I think the two of them are so cute. Ok so let me know what you guys think of this.
