Author's note : I had a bit of a writer's block for this one. I managed to get this... hope you'll like it. Thanks again for the previous reviews :-) I dedicate this chapter to Nicki coz our conversation made me want to update (screw this stupid paper lol)
I know I called Lilly's mother differently in my other story, but I chose to stick with the name she has on the show, Heather. Sorry...

You Rock My World, Chapter 4
The rest of the week flew by. Between school and the project, the girls had been quite busy. They only saw each other at school and talked on the phone at night before bed. It wasn't nearly enough for them, but it had to do it for now.
Jake was acting... normal. He was nice, and supportive. Lilly was quite surprised actually. She was starting to believe that Miley was right and that Jake really didn't love her anymore and had moved on.
Friday night was finally here which meant that Lilly and Miley could finally spend some time together. They were curently at a Hannah concert. Lilly, dressed as Lola, was watching her girlfriend perform her third encore.
''She's good, uh?'' Lilly heard from behind her. She turned around and groaned as she recognized the person in front of her. Jake Ryan. God, he was everywhere.
''How are you Lola?''
''I'm good.''
Lola knew Jake. They hadn't seen each other much though and it was fine by her. But she had to be nice to him. It wasn't like Lilly. She didn't need to pretend to like him at school. She wasn't even trying. But here, as Hannah's bestfriend, she needed to protect her image and all.
''how about you? How are you? I heard you had put on hold your career.'' I should be an actress...
''Yeah, I needed some time off,'' he said vaguely causing her to frown. Was he hiding something?
''Haaaaannah!'' Jake suddenly exclaimed as he wrapped the popstar in his arms. Lilly hadn't even noticed the concert was done.
''Hey Jake! Long time no see!'' Miley smiled.
''Good thing I'll be sticking around for a while!''
''Right,'' Miley nodded.
''So, erm, I'm having this party next saturday. It'd be cool if you could come...'' He turned to Lilly.'' You're welcome too Lola, of course.''
''Thanks... but no thanks.'' Lilly immediatly replied.
''Yeah... I don't know about that either...'' Miley said carefully.
''Okay... well... you don't have to tell me now anyway. Just come over if you want. It will be great. And if you don't, well, it's okay too.'' Jake declared. ''I've gotta go. Once again Hannah, great show. See you around!'' He waved and walked away, letting the girls on their own.
Miley was nicely surprised Jake wasn't insisting. Although, when a boy wasn't interested in a girl often meant he had already someone else in mind... Maybe her alter ego? she couldn't help but think. The brunette shrugged off this thought and pulled Lilly towards her dressing room, eager to change and head back home. She needed some quality time with her girlfriend.
The driver deposed the girls at the Stewart's house, where Miley grabbed a change of clothes while Lilly waited for her downstairs. They were sleeping at the Truscott's tonight. Miley soon came back and they headed out.
''You're sure your mom doesn't mind if I come over?'' Miley asked as Lilly unlocked the door of her house, a few minutes later.
''For the nth time, no!'' Lilly laughed. ''I promise.''
They stepped inside the dark house, not bothering to turn on the light.
''Besides, I really want to spend some time with you. I've missed you.'' she said as she hang her jacket on the hatstand. Miley could see the light shade of red on her girlfriend's cheeks.
She walked to her and wrap her arms around her from behind. ''I missed you too.'' She whispered in her ear. She felt Lilly shake in her arm and smiled. She loved to be able to make her shiver with just a touch.
Lilly leaned her head on her girlfriend's shoulders, exposing her neck. Miley accepted the invitation and started nibbling on her neck, savouring the unique taste of the blonde in her arms. Moaning, Lilly turned around in her arm, and wrapped her arms loosely around the brunette's neck.
''I love you,'' she told her seriously.
''I love you too,'' Miley replied as serious.
Miley leaned down and started sucking on Lilly's pulse point. She felt Lilly's knees buckle so she tightened her grip aroud her waist, pulling her closer.
''I need you so bad right now,'' Lilly moaned as Miley kept her ministrations. She placed open mouth kisses all over the skin under her lips, licking from time to time.
''Miley,'' Lilly breathed as she felt Miley's lips leaving her neck to give her a deep, lusting kiss. Their tongues brushed in slow, amazing and tender motion. The popstar grasped her girlfriend her pulling her even closer. She felt Lilly's hands moving down her sides and gripping her shirt. She lifted her arms up as her shirt was being removed from her heated body, only breaking the kiss for a second. At her turn, she grabbed Lilly's shirt and lifted it quickly, threwing it away somewhere in the room. She grabbed the front of the blonde's jeans, pulling her girlfriend against her. They moaned at the first skin on skin contact.
Miley pulled back a little, letting her eyes traveling along her lover's beautiful body. Her eyes went from staring at the perfect warm skin to deep into Lilly's eyes. They were so intense and full of lust and love right now. It was amazing. She could literally read the thousands 'I love you' painted in those blue orbs, that only her got to see.
''Couch, now!'' Miley growled as she grasped Lilly's hair and brought their lips together again. The blonde's hands slid down Miley's back, scratching lightly the warm skin and eliciting a deep moan from the brunette. Miley pressed her body even more firmly against Lilly, leading her through the room. Never once they broke the kiss, deepening it, sloweling it, intensifying it all the way through.
Finally... the couch... Lilly felt her knees hit the cushion behind her and laid down the couch, pulling Miley with her and...
''Owww!''
''O my god! Mom!'' Lilly yelled as she jumped up, making Miley fall on the floor with a loud 'oof'. Her mother was laying on the couch. Apparently she had been sleeping on the same room as they were... getting you know... hot.
''Lilly?'' Her mom called, confused with sleep, as Miley made a beeline towards their shirts on the floor.
''uh-huh,'' Lilly nodded as she caught the shirt Miley threw her.
Mrs Truscott straightened out and looked around her. The lights on the street were strong enough for them to lighten the living room. She took in her surroundings and finally eyed the girls. Her eyebrows raised as she looked at Miley's disheveled hair, Lilly's shirt upside down and the button of her jeans off... ''Am I interrupted something?''
At this, the girls' cheeks turned a dangerous shade of red... Thank god for the darkness.
''I... uh...M-Miley and I...uh... were planning on w-watching some tv and... uh...'' Lilly stuttered.
''Lils,'' her mother interrupted. ''you might not wanna believe it but I was young once too... I'm not stupid... I know what you two were headed. And by the look of things,'' she said as she waved at their disheveled clothes, ''I'm right.''
''pssh pff pss,'' Lilly stuttered a little flustered. ''I told you, we were just going to relax watching a nice comedy on TV.''
''So, that's what you call it these days...'' her mother deadpanned.
''Moooom!'' The blonde whined, making her mother chuckle.
''It's cool girls, I understand you guys have needs. Besides, it's old news for me. I live in this house too. I'm not blind...'' She trailed off. A little smile appeared on her lips as she looked at her daughter. ''Or deaf.'' she added.
''Sweet niblets,'' Miley let out, her eyes wide at the realisation. They had really tried to be silent all those nights... Guess it didn't work...
''Well okay. We're gonna go upstairs now,'' Lilly said urgently, ill-at-ease with this conversation. No children want to have this kind of talk with their parents.
''Okay, i'll wear my earplugs...''
''To sleeeep mom,'' the blonde shot rolling her eyes.
''Sure!'' Mrs Truscott said not believing one second her daughter.
Lilly let out a growl of frustration and pulled her girlfriends upstairs and to her room.
''Sleep well girls!'' Mrs Truscott yelled in a teasing voice just before she heard the door slam.
''Oh. My. God. I'm soooo mortified. No, I'm so far from mortified that 'mortified' is actually a small dot on the map of embarrasment.'' Lilly ranted, as she paced in the room, waving her hands in the air.
''Lils...'' Miley said calmly, stopping her gilfriend. She wrapped her arms around her waist and looked at her in the eyes. ''It's okay... it's not like she doesn't know we sleep with each other. She's cool about it...''
Lilly sighed. ''I know... but it's just... disturbing...''
Miley giggled. ''that it is... I love you.''
Lilly smiled and leaned her head on her girlfriend's shoulder, pulling closer to her. ''I love you too.''
The girls stayed this way for a while. But then their hands started roaming and Miley groaned as she felt Lilly kissed her neck. She felt her lips go down to her collarbone. She pulled back a little.
''Lilly Truscott! Are you trying to make me hot for you while your mother is downstairs?'' Miley asked in mock horror.
Lilly laughed. ''Yeah... I guess I do.''
''Wanna make your mother right?'' The brunette asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
Lilly chose to not respond verbally. Instead she slid her hand down Miley's stomach to the front of her jeans, slowly rubbing. ''Does that answer your question,'' She whispered hotly in Miley's ear. Miley gulped and nodded quickly. Lilly was already driving her crazy and it was just the beginning.
The next day went pretty fast. Miley was busy rehearsing a song in the morning and she had an interview in the early afternoon. She came home at 4 p.m. And got ready for her evening with Jake. She decided to dress casual. No need to make an effort. It wasn't a date, she wasn't interested in pleasing Jake. It was a business thing.
Miley heard the bell ring as she was putting her jacket on. She ran down the stairs, yelling bye to her dad on the way and opened the door. She stopped abruptly as Jake appeared in front of her. Okay... he was wearing a tuxedo...
''Erm,'' She looked down at her jeans and chucks. ''Should I change?''
Jake laughed. ''Nah. I just got out of press conference and I didn't have time to change,'' He explains. ''Besides, you look beautiful as you are!'' Jake smiled.
Miley blushed. She couldn't help it. Compliments always made her blush, whomever it was from. ''Thanks... uhm... let's get going?''
Jake smiled and stepped out of the way, as Miley got out. They headed towards Jake's range rover. ''No limo tonight?'' Miley teased.
''Nope. I'm just a normal guy now.'' Jake grinned. Miley smiled. She like this new version of Jake. It was a nice change. They got in and soon, they were on their way towards the restaurant.
Jake had brought them into a small family dinner in West Malibu. They had a nice view on the beach. They weren't a lot of people. And the food was good. They had talked about the project, as planned, but only for a few minutes. The rest of the times was spent on catching up. Miley was having a good night and she was the first one surprised. She wasn't used to having a good time with Jake Ryan. Well, that's not totally true. They had good time at the beginning of their relationship. But then he became once again Jake Ryan, and not Leslie...
''So uhm, how long you and Lilly have been together?'' Jake asked as he took a spoon of his ice cream.
''Seven months,'' She replied automatically as she sipped on her vanilla milkshake.
Jake appeared to be in deep thought. ''seven months... which means... is that why you broke up with me? Were you cheating on me with... her?''
''I uh... Not technically?''
''What do you mean?'' Jake frowned. ''Either you were or you were not.''
''I might have had feelings for her at the time, and we kissed... but we weren't really together together...''
''You cheated on me,'' He stated, clearly hurt.
''You were in Romania for months. I didn't even know if we were still together. It's not like you called every day!''
''Don't put this on me!'' Jake exclaimed. ''I'm not the one who fell in love with someone else while I was already dating someone!''
''I know... I'm sorry...'' Miley sighed. ''I didn't mean for it to happen. I always loved her... even when we first started dating... In fact, she was the one pushing me into dating you...''
''You mean... if Lilly didn't tell you to go on a date with me... you wouldn't have?'' Miley nodded. ''Well, this is even better!'' Jake snapped bitterly.
''But this was at first ! I really did start having feelings for you... I didn't lie about that.''
''Remember that afternoon at Rico's? When you told me you loved me? Did you mean it?''
Flash Back
Jake and Miley had been dating for two months now. Miley would never had thought it could go this well... She had discovered another Jake Ryan, and even though he still was big headed and all, she had the impression that in addition to be in love with his ego, he loved her too. And this was confirmed one night, when Jake brought Miley at the same spot they had their first date.
''I'd never thought Jake Ryan could be this romantic,'' Miley said as she sat down on the beach, a big smile on her face.
''Nice change, uh?'' He smirked.
Miley laughed and leaned her hand against Jake's shoulder as he wrapped an arm around her. They stayed quiet for a while, just enjoying the view. Miley was finding herself more and more comfortable around Jake. They had some things in commun, and he wasn't as shallow as he looked. Sure, he had his moments... lots of them, but it was less annoying. It was sometimes funny actually.
She didn't spend a lot of time with Lilly anymore though. Of course, they still had some 'girls' night ou' as they liked to call them, but it was less and less often... besides, Lilly was being distant. She was always 'busy'. And she had grown distant. Miley thought at first it was because she had refused to go to a Hannah signing and a Hannah concert the other day (for obvious reasons. Although Lilly didnt' know it) and that Lilly was mad. But Lilly had immediatly told her she wasn't upset about it. However, when Miley tried to push the subject, Lilly had avoided the question and pretended to be late for class... on a Sunday morning.
Miley was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Jake shift lightly and pull back. He was staring at her.
''What?'' Miley asked confused.
''I love you,'' He breathed out, his cheeks a bit red.
He was so adorable. Should she say it back? Did she love him? She guessed she did... althought she was still confused about this other part of her heart that still was only for Lilly. But she couldn't deny these feelings she was developping for Jake, as unexpected as they seemed.
She glanced at Jake who was looking at her expectantly.
''I love you too.'' she let out. It felt good. For once, her love was reciprocated. She was getting over Lilly.
End of flash back
''Yeah... I meant it... but...''
''But you were in love with Lilly too. Even more than with me.'' Jake finished. Miley nodded, looking down at her shake. ''You know Miles, I still love you.''
Miley's eyes opened wide ''oh...''
''I'm in love you. This hasn't changed.'' The actor continued.
''Oh...'' She repeated, a blank look on her features.
''Is that all you're gonna say?'' Jake asked frustrated.
Miley rubbed her forehead trying to process the boy's revelation. ''But you said you moved on...at school... and at the beach...''
''what else was I supposed to do? You wouldn't have paired up with me on the project, eventheless talked to me...''
Miley stayed silent. He was right. She would have never accepted any of this. She didn't want to lead him on or jeopardize her relationship with Lilly. Lilly had been right all along. And she didn't listen to her... She just thought she was being jealous and maybe insecure...
''You know, Miles, I won't give up. I know we're meant to be, and right now, you don't see it because you think you're in love with Lilly.''
''I don't think. I KNOW.''
''Then, why did you keep the bracelet?''
''What bracelet?''
''The one I gave you. You still have it...''
''Wait, How do you know about that?'' Miley frowned.
Jake blushed and looked down. ''I.. uh... kinda saw it when I was in your room...''
''You went through my stuff?'' she cried outraged. Jake nodded. He at least had the decency to look ashamed. ''I can't believe you!''
''I'm sorry!''
Miley rolled her eyes. ''God Jake! Why did you do that?''
''Listen, I didn't really do anything, okay?'' He defended. ''Your closet was opened and I saw the box... I thought I recognized it from somewhere... so I just wanted to know... and I was right...'' He paused and looked at her seriously. ''Why did you keep it Miley?''
''I... I...'' She stuttered. She didn't know why she stuttered. She felt like she had made a mistake by keeping it, even though there was nothing wrong... Maybe Lilly was right. It could send the wrong kind of message. She had to make everything clear, especially after Jake's little revelation...
''It's a nice memory, ya know?'' She tried to explain. Jake nodded. ''I'm in love with Lilly now and that will never change,'' she saw Jake roll his eyes but didn't pick up on it. ''but it doesn't mean I want to throw away my past. And you're a part of my past... I moved on. It's over. But it's nice to have souvenir for your past relationships. It's a reminder of who I was back then. Besides, I couldn't throw away something like this.''
''I think I understand.'' he grinned widely. What a piece of craps. Just say the truth Miley. You kept the bracelet because you still love me... But I understand you're stuck with Lilly right now. So I'll wait... a little.
Miley let out a breath, relieved Jake had understood she was attached to the bracelet for what it meant but not for whom it came from. But still, she didn't feel like spending the rest of the evening with him. Knowing he was still in love with her, she wasn't quite comfortable around him now.
''Maybe I should go home. I need my beauty sleep,'' she said, hoping to find a safer ground.
''Believe me, you definitly don't need any,'' Jake winked.
Or not... the brunette thought.
Miley stepped into her house. Her father was waiting for her on the couch, watching some TV.
''Hey bud! You're home early. How was your evening?''
''Eventful...'' She mumbled as she flopped down on the couch next to him.
Robby Ray raised an eyebrow at his daughter. ''What do you mean?''
''Jake discovered I kinda cheated on him with Lilly.''
''uh-oh. How did he take it?''
''better than I thought...'' The brunette nodded. ''but that's not all...'' she trailed off.
''What?''
''Well, you know how I thought Jake wasn't into me anymore because he told me he wasn't?'' Her father nodded. ''He lied. He still loves me.''
''Oh...''
''Yeah, that's what I said.''
''What are you gonna do?''
''I was kinda hoping you'd have an idea,'' she said looking at him with her puppy dog eyes.
''Sorry to disappoint you bud, but I have nothing.''
Miley leaned back her head on the couch and exhaled. She honestly didn't think she wasn't going to talk to Lilly about what had happened with Jake. She will handle him on her own. She knew how Lilly could be. Besides, she didn't want to upset her or even hurt her. And telling her wasn't going to do any good to the situation... So... yep, she was going to hide the truth... I can't believe I'm going to lie to her...
At the Truscott's house, Lilly was rehearsing the song in front of her mother. Well, that was when her mother running to the toilets puking her guts out.
''So what do you think?'' She asked her mother, panting, as the music stopped.
''It was good. Better than last time. I didn't know you could sing that well. Must be...'' Mrs Truscott didn't finish her critic as she started swallowing repeatdly.
Lilly suddenly saw her mother turn green, her eyes bugging out of their sockets. ''You're gonna puke again, aren't you?'' Lilly sighed.
Her mother nodded rapidly and flew out of the couch to the bathroom, her hands covering her mouth. She was going to follow her mother and take care of her when the door bell rang. She immediatly thought it was Miley and a grin appeared on her face. Lilly kept beaming as she opened the front door and she was shocked when she found herself standing face to face with a person she wasn't seeing nearly enough for her liking.
''Hello Lillian.'' The person greeted, the smile evident in her voice.
Shock turned to excitement. ''Grandma! What are you doing here?!'' Lilly exclaimed as she jumped into her arms.
Her grandmother laughed. ''Your mom told me about her... situation. I'm here to help! I'm gonna stay for a while I believe.''
''You are?'' Lilly asked in confusion. ''Mom didn't say anything.''
''She doesn't know,'' Rose Truscott replied with a red tint on her cheeks.
Lilly chuckled. ''Why am I not surprised?''
Her grandmother nodded with a smile. ''I'm gonna take care of my two girls and the teeny tiny little Truscott to be.'' She announced proudly with a grin. "You're going to see so much you're going to be sick of it!" Lilly laughed and led her grandmother in the living room. "oh? Isn't that Miley?" Rose asked as she picked a frame up. "Ain't she a beautiful young lady," she said appreciatively.
Lilly suddenly couldn't smile as wide as she wanted. A thought had came to her mind at the words of her grandmother. She was thinking about Miley... her relationship with Miley... and the fact that she was gay. She hadn't come out to her grandmother yet, and from her previous experience, her grandmother wasn't quite... opened to homosexualty... Lilly felt the knot in her stomach grown even more. What was she going to do?
Author's note : And a new character is introduced in the series. I think I'm gonna keep the grandma around for quite a while. At least 2 episodes. Except if you don't like the character... lol. You'll tell me !!
And I have to tell you something : writing JILEY is disturbing... lol. I don't like this couple... but it's a big part of the show, and I made it a big part of this series of mine... but man... EW ! lol
