Chapter Three: What about Hannah?

Rinnnggg. The doorbell rang throughout the small, but cozy house. Miley was at Jackson and Lilly's house, waiting for them to answer the door. She was anxious to see her older brother, who she hadn't seen in years.

"Miley?" Jackson asked, walking to the door and opening it. "Miles, it is you!" He hugged her. "It's good to see you!"

"You too." Miley smiled, walking in. "So, congratulations on the engagement! I forgot to ask Lilly how you did it, so you guys have to tell me all about it... I want to know how, when, and where it happened."

She could've sworn that she heard a "Girls.." somewhere. "So, is Lilly here?" Miley asked, wanting to see her best friend.

"Yeah, she sent me in here to answer the door, since we're siblings and all..." Jackson replied, shaking his head. "I love her, but she's very wierd sometimes."

"Don't let her hear that, you dolt."

They walked into the den to find Lilly watching TV. "Hi Miley! Do you like our house?" Lilly asked, standing up.

"I love it! It's so cute..."

"Oh yeah, that's just how we want our house, cozy," Jackson muttered under his breath, but Miley knew he was joking.

"I forgot to ask you Lilly, how did he propose?" Miley asked, interested.

Lilly's eyes widened. "OH! I totally forgot! I can't believe it. Come here, we'll talk." Miley scooted over to the couch and Lilly proceeded to talk. "So we were on a picnic at the park, and the ring was inside the basket! Then Jackson got on one knee (he was already sitting down) and proposed. Can you believe that? It was so romantic!" Miley didn't think it was that romantic, but if Lilly thought it was, then it was.

"So what does the ring look like?" Miley asked.

"Oh, yes!" Lilly held out her hand for Miley to see. On it was a decent size diamond with two smaller saphires on the sides.

"Oh my gosh, Lilly, it's beautiful! You are so lucky.. I'm never going to get married," Miley said, sitting back in the couch.

Lilly gasped. "Miley, yes you are... What about your boyfriend? Don't you want to marry him someday?"

Miley sighed, not wanting to talk about Brian. "I would, but he's just so annoying sometimes... Like he's too optimistic with everything and he'll always ask me to run his errands and he'll just sit at our apartment, watching TV."

"I'm so sorry, Miley, I didn't know... At least the right one will come along someday, it has to."

Miley smiled, nodding. "It has to."

Then, Lilly asked, "But what about Hannah? Can't you do another concert and get her on the roll again?"

Miley sighed again... Too much was being thrown at her at once. She loved seeing everyone again, but she hadn't even a few days to think about what she was going to do about everything. "I could, but I don't know how much trouble that would be. I'd have to quit my job at the school. I'd kill to get up there and sing again, oh you have no idea..."

It was then that Jackson decided to butt into the conversation. "You could always call dad and see if he could get you to do a concert! He'll love to see you again too!"

Miley shrugged. It is a possibility. "Maybe," she said.

Lilly smiled. "Anyways, Jackson and I were thinking of having the wedding on the beach. How does that sound?"

Miley grinned. "That sounds so cool! At like sunset? 'Cause that would be soooo romantic."

"Sounds good to me!" Lilly replied, nodding.

"Hey, do I have a say in this?" Jackson asked, eating a chip. "Why can't we have the wedding where I want to?"

"Because you're my soon-to-be husband and you love me..." Lilly said, doing a puppy dog pout.

Miley pretended to shield her eyes. "No lovey-dovey stuff, 'kay? I mean, I'm happy for ya'll, but that stuff has got to stop in front of me."

Lilly grinned. "All right, for now."

Miley's eyes suddenly widened. "You know what I just realized? You and I will be like related! You'll be my sister-in-law!"

"You didn't realize that?" Jackson said, eating another chip from the Tostitos bag in his lap.

"No, dumbo. I just realized that. Not all of us are geniuses like you." Miley replied, teasing him.

"I know, good thing you finally realized it. If it took you any longer, I would've had to execute you."

Miley rolled her eyes, then said to Lilly, "Isn't that like awesome?"

"Heck yeah it is! But then our kids couldn't date..." Lilly said, frowning.

Jackson made a sound behind them and both women turned their heads. "What?" They asked at the same time.

"It just seems... a little early to be thinking about kids, isn't it?" He said, stating it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"If you say so..." Lilly said. "But I want kids someday."

"Yes, dear."

Miley laughed. "See! You guys already sound like an old married couple."

"Says the girl who isn't married," Jackson said to Miley.

Miley frowned, wishing that she would find 'the one'. Which is not Brian, but who?
