Dear diary,

It's been about week. The police still haven't found her yet. I don't think I can take this any longer. I'm afraid she's... I can't even think about it. If she comes back, I have to tell her I love her. I can't go my whole life thinking what if. This is killing me inside. I don't feel like getting out of bed. I've lost my appatite. My dad is really worried about me. But she's the reason I get up in the morning. The reason I smile all day. The reason for my dreams. She means the world to me. If they don't find her.. I don't know what I'll do. Tomorrow's Monday. Not seeing her in school will just rip another piece of my heart out. I should sleep now. I'm not that tired but it's midnight.

I heard my alarm going off but I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet. It was Monday, the worst day of the week. I turned over and shut off the alarm clock. I stretched, yawned, and sat up. I looked around my room. Everything looked plain. My eyes landed on a picture of me and Lily at the beach and I quickly looked away and got out of bed.

I walked to school with Oliver. When we got there I went to my locker and bid my goodbye's to Oliver. I got the necassary books and went to first hour. I wasn't paying attention. I was daydreaming while looking out the window. I snapped out of it when I heard the door open. Everyone looked over at the door and gasped. Lily was standing there. My heart stopped and my stomach dropped. The teacher walked over and pulled Lily out of the classroom, closing the door on the way out. I faintly heard everyone mumbling and whispering. About 5 minutes later the vice principle came in telling everyone to settle down or something. I didn't notice much.

It felt like a dream. I didn't see her the whole rest of the day. I sort of felt numb. Like none of it was bothering me much. I heard that the principle and my first hour teacher took her to the police station so they could ask her questions. I also heard all these ridiculous rumors that I was sure weren't true. So anyways, when I got home my dad looked worried and rushed over to me.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Of course I am. Why?" I was a bit confused.

"Well, I got a call today saying Lily was back. I just wanted to know how you took the news."

"I took it well. Thanks for your concern. I'm going to go do homework now, though." I walked up the stairs to my room. Before I could get all my homework out in front of me, I heard the doorbell ring. I heard my dad yell at me to get the door so I ran downstairs and saw Lily standing in the doorway. I stopped dead in my tracks and all the emotions I had been putting off hit me like a ton of bricks. I ran over to her and hugged her. I started sobbing but I couldn't control myself. I felt Lily hesitantly wrap her arms around me.

"Miley, are you going to be alright?" Oh man, I missed her voice so much. It took me a minute to answer.

"Yeah, I'm just so happy to see you. I thought I'd never see you again." I then continued to sob on her shoulder.

"Lets go to the beach. We can talk more there, okay?" I just nodded and yelled to my dad that I was leaving. I put my flip flops on and we were out the door. We didn't say a word until we got to our spot on the beach. We both sat on the log and stared out to the ocean. I was the first to speak.

"I was really worried about you, Lily. What happend?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you the truth. So I'll just tell you what I told the police. I was-" I cut her off before she could go on any further.

"No, don't tell me a stupid lie. Tell me the truth." She looked down at the sand. It looked like she was comteplating whether she should tell me or not. "Please, Lily." She sighed in defeat.

"Fine. Lets just say, that crazy dream you had... it came true." Her eyes never left the sand. I was at a loss for words.

"Um, well... uh what?" She looked up at me.

"See? You don't believe me."

"Well, it's just that. Your news beats my news by a long shot." Her eyes turned curious.

"What news?"

"Oh, well. Um.. you see... isortofhaveakindofcrushonyouorsomething."

"What? Miley, I can't understand a word you're saying." I took a deep breath and decided to just spit it out before I changed my mind.

"Lily. Please don't get weirded out or anything, ok?" She nodded. "Number one, I like girls."

"And number two?"

"I like you." I closed my eyes real tight not wanting to see her face expression. A couple seconds later I felt a pair of lips on mine. My eyes shot open and saw Lily's closed eyes right in front of mine. I was so shocked it took me a couple moments to register what was happening. I closed my eyes and kissed her back, loving the feeling of her lips moving against mine. She broke the kiss first, pulling away from me. I opened my eyes and saw her smiling at me.

"I was hoping you'd say that," she said as she closed the space between us.
