Wow, I loved the amount of reviews that I got. I'm not going to say that at six reviews everytime I'll update, because I've tried something like that, and it's annoying. So, I'll just say please review, if not... than ur mean. So, yeah, please review. It isn't like I'm asking for a kidney.

I let my heart race a moment later. Than I picked up the phone.
"H-hello?" I answered Lilly.
"Hey. You okay?" she asked.
"Oh yeah I'm fine," I lied. Of course I'm not fine. I'm not in love with you. I mean yeah I am, but no, wait. Wait what? What the crap am I trying to think??
"Oliver?" she asked.
"Oh yeah I'm still here," I said snapping out of my mental phaze. What was I thinking about anyway?
"Ashley is going to drive me insane. You know how I had to hang up on you earlier?" she asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"Well that's because she was walking down the sidewalk, but she didn't see me. I had to hide behind a bush, and I'm gonna go take a shower soon, but I had to tell you so you knew that I didn't blow you off," she said.
"Oh okay. I'm sorry," I said.
"For what?" she asked.
"For having Ashley on your back," he said.
"Oh, thanks, that's sweet," she said. She said I was sweet!!! She said I was sweet!! Read it over again if you need to, but the cutest girl just called me sweet! Wait, I just figure out that I have a crush on her and suddenly she is the apple of my butter, and the waves on my ocean?
"Oliver," she called, thinking that I was gone.
"Oh, yeah, I'm here," I said.
"Okay, we'll I'd better take a shower," she said.
"Okay. Bye," I said.
"Bye," she said.
It took me a while to hang up. I wanted to reach across the phone line and keep her on for just one more minute. The funny thing is, I think that I hung up first.
Mileys P O V
I sat not knowing what to do. So I grabbed the lid to the box and stuffed it back under the bed before LuAnn could see it.
"Well aren't ya gonna give your cousin a big ol' hug?" LuAnn asked. I fake smiled and hugged her. She hugged too tight.
"So how long have you been here?" she asked.
"Since yesterday," I answered.
"Well no wonder I haven't seen you. And shucks, I won't get to for a while. I'm goin to Nashville for five weeks," she said.
"What a shame," I said.
"Oh yeah, but my daddy just let me come in and give you a big ol' welcome, so I'd better get going. Bye Miley," she called.
"bye," I said non chalantly. Bitch, I thought. I remembered the times when she was horrible to me, like the well, and Hannah Montana. I think she threw me in the well because of some boy that we both wanted. I'd fall down a thousand wells just to see Jake again.
"Miley!" Cole called after LuAnn had left.
"What!" I screamed back.
"We're being picked up at eight o'clock," Cole called from right outside my door.
"Okay!" I yelled back. I turned my attention back to the wine coolers that I had the pleasure of being hid under my bed. I couldn't do this. The feeling I had wasn't an addiction to alcohol. It was an addiction to forgetting everything that boys brought to me, and that tickly feeling I get when I reallize that I'm doing something illegal.
I walked back over to my bed and pulled out the box. I grabbed a watermelon flavored one. It smelled like blueberries for some reason. I took a taste. And another... and another... and another...

I stepped out of the shower. What can I do now? I've got it! I'll go find the neighborhood that Oliver is at. What road was he on? Oh yeah. I got onto my computer, and went to google earth. An hour later I had it down that if I wanted to get to Oliver, it would take me probably four hundred and fifty dollars to get to him in transportation. I have ninety three dollars and seventy eight cents.
"Lilly!" mom called from downstairs.
"Coming," I called exiting out of the computer program that I was in and going downstairs to her.
"What?" I asked when I got there seeing her and dad.
"We think that since Oliver and Miley are gone for so long, that you should take a kid vacation," dad suggested.
"A what?" I asked.
"A kid vacation, open to ages 8-15. No parents, just kids. Doesn't it sound fun?" mom asked.
"Uh no. Not without Oliver. Or Miley. Or Oliver," I assured.
"But-"
"No buts," I started. I began going upstairs. "Call me when dinner's ready." I had some thinking to do.
I started out thinking about what Miley could be doing. I missed her like crazy. Yes, just as much as Oliver, but in a different kind of way. Miley and I are in a friendship way. Oliver and I are in my world, a romantic way.
I took out my phone and called her.

I looked at the clock. The little red digits said 7:15. I couldn't tell if I thought that it was early or late. I held up the bottle for another sip. It was empty. I had drank an entire bottle of a wine cooler. Hannah Montana drank. But no, it was deeper than that. Miley Stewart drank.

I took my ringing phone out of my pocket reluctantly. All I wanted was a refill. I wasn't thinking about Jake, and I knew another one would help me. The caller ID said Lilly Truscott. I ignored it.
"Miley," Cole called while knocking on my door. I hid the bottle.
"What?" I asked.
"Are you almost ready? Can I come in?" he asked.
"Uh-" I started thinking of excuses. "I'm changing."
"Oh okay. Just hurry up, they are here a little bit early."
Early? I checked my hair and make up. I then got some more eyeliner on.
"Miley?" someone called at my door with another knock five minutes after Cole.
"Cole, I told you, I'm almost ready," I said.
"It's Austin. Are you changed?" he asked opening up the door just a crack.
"Yeah," I said not looking up from the mirror.
"Darn," he said.
"Don't be such a perv," I said rolling my eyes.
"You love it," he said. I looked down. Somewhere along the lines, I had either changed back into my skirt, or I had never changed out of it. Either way, I couldn't remember. I had a buzz going.
"Let me just grab my cell," I said reaching for my bed. I accidently flipped over the blanket which caused the empty bottle to show. Austin bent down and got it.
"Drinking again Brownie?" he asked holding it up. My face dropped. I grabbed the bottle and got my cell, but Austin wouldn't let me by.
"Come on, they're waiting," I said.
"I will only let you go if you promise me you won't drink anymore. Please, promise. There's no reason for a pretty girl like you to drink," he said.
I rolled my eyes.
"You don't know the half of it," I said.
"Well than, why don't you fill me in?" he asked.
"You wouldn't understand, Jake is too much of a crazy story to be understood," I said. I accidently dropped a clue on why I had let the illegal poisen flow down my throat. I smacked myself on the inside for it.
"So this has to do with Jake Ryan?" he asked.
"You wouldn't understand. It's... complicated," I said.
I took another step for the door. Austin blocked me again.
"You don't know complicated," he said.
I rolled my eyes again.
"Oh believe me, I do," I said.
He stopped my third attempt to get out the door.
"Believe me. I know more about it then you ever could," he said. His amber eyes fleckered with curiousity, anger, and embarrassment. And I couldn't understand where any of those emotions where coming from. But I was soon to find out. That bottle was that start, that little start to learning more than textbooks and quizzes could teach you. This summer was not coming along the way I had expected.

"Hey Lilly. It's me, Oliver. I just wanted to say that... that... that I'm in love with you."
