Author's Notes: Thank you, thank you, thank you to all the reviewers!

You know, I think I kinda made Miley slightly schizophrenic. XD lol

Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana. But don't I wish.

Miley's POV

I couldn't believe this was happening. I couldn't believe the direction things had gone in. While I had listened to Lilly's confession, thoughts and choices were swirling around in my head, my own desires arguing with my pesky conscious.

I already admitted to myself that I was in love with her, why should I keep denying it?

Because it's wrong. It's not meant to be. You. Are. Straight.

Not according to my heart.

Well, screw your heart! What has that thing ever done for you? All it's going to do is cause problems for you. This is a relationship that-

Shut up! I can't take it anymore! I want her, dammit!

And that's when Lilly had told me she was in love with me. By that time, the tears were already flowing, and her words completely broke any self control I had managed to hang on to. My conscious was silenced, buried deep into the back of my mind.

And before I knew it, she was kissing me, and I was kissing her back. It was soft, slow. My hands tightened around her neck while she pulled me towards her. Her tongue begged for entrance, and I granted it, opening my mouth to let her explore…

"Sweet niblets!"

I knew that voice. Shit!

Lilly and I broke apart, panting slightly.

My brother had, apparently, forgotten to close up Rico's. So here he was, coming over to close up.

"You-she-and-?!" he sputtered, pointed at me and Lilly in turn. Then he fainted.

I gasped and ran over to him, kneeling down at his side. "Jackson?"

Lilly sat down next to me and felt his wrist for a pulse. "Well… he's not dead."

"Of course he isn't." Though a part of me wished he had dropped dead. Then there wouldn't be the threat of him knowing…

"He'll come around soon enough." Lilly sounded worried. It made no sense to me. Everyone already knew she was gay. "I'm sure he won't tell anyone, he's not a bad guy, just a little annoying-"

"Lilly," I interrupted. "What does it matter? You're already out to everyone."

She raised her eyebrows at me. "Miles, I don't want anyone to know because you're not out yet."

Her sincerity touched me. I smiled a little, reached over, and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. She beamed at me.

We were interrupted by Jackson, who was finally coming to. We looked at him anxiously. He groaned and sat up straight, rubbing his head. He blinked a few times, and his eyes focused on me. It took him a few seconds, but he finally opened his mouth to speak. "How… how long?"

I sighed. Looks like there was no hope in trying to make him believe it was all a dream. "Counting your intrusion, hardly two minutes."

He blinked again, looking like a deer in headlights. "Oh. I'm sorry."

I was taken aback. "That's it?" I had expected… Well, I wasn't sure what I expected, but it wasn't an apology.

"Well… yea." He got up off the ground, patting his pants to get rid of the sand. "Sorry for interrupting."

I stood up in front of him. "You're… ok with it?"

He shrugged. "Yea. Why wouldn't I be? You're my sister."

Sweet relief! I grinned from ear to ear and threw my arms around him. "You're the best Jackson."

He hugged me back for about a second, then let go. "Yea I know. Now, I'll just lock up the shop, and be on my way." He smiled at me, and turned to Lilly and winked at her. She blushed.

And then I remembered something kinda important. "Jackson, you're not going to tell anyone right? Especially dad."

He shrugged again. "Not if you don't want me to."

I looked at Lilly questioningly. She came over to me and took my hand in hers. "It's up to you."

I knew it would be hard, keeping us a secret. But I didn't want to be labeled by everyone just because I was in love with one girl… The most amazing girl to walk this earth… I took a breath and said, "I'd like you to not tell anyone Jackson."

He nodded. "Alright. But don't wait too long to tell dad at least." And with that, he finished locking up, and started back for home.

That left me and Lilly quite alone…

She turned to face me. I noticed my hand was still in hers. She stroked my cheek with the hand that held mine, and I closed my eyes. Nothing in the world could possibly feel better than this…

"Miley?"

I kept my eyes closed. "Hmm?"

"Do you love me?"

I opened my eyes at once. I gently freed my hand from her grasp, and brushed her hair out from in front of her face. I leaned up and kissed her again, trying to convey the fact that yes, I loved her with everything that I was. She smiled into the kiss, and I broke away. Looking at her straight on, I told her, "I'm in love with you Lilly."

And then she was beaming, happiness radiating off her. She threw her arms around my waist and hauled me up in the air in a huge bear hug. We were both laughing like maniacs. And the best part was that there was no nagging, logical voice in the back of my head this time, telling me I was utterly, completely, unforgivably wrong.
