A few more days have gone by and both girls were dieing inside. They would not win the battle of their feelings for each other, but they both new that fear would prevent them from doing anything. The risk of their friendship was too high. They tried to stay close as possible, but each girl started to distance themselves from one another. Making up excuses as to why they could not see each other. Neither girl was satisfied. Staying away from each other was hurting them of loving the other.

And with each passing day their love grew stronger.

"Oh my gosh it's like she haunting me!" Lilly opened her eyes quickly after a flash of Miley passed before her eyes. She sighed and lay down on her bed. "This is getting to be too hard, I-I can't do this anymore."

Lilly stuffed her face inside her pillow and took the other to wrap around her ears. When vibration from her left pocket caused her to get up. Looking at the caller id she recognized Miley's number. And debated with herself about answering it. She can't leave her best friend hangin' so she answered the phone with a shaky breath. "H-hey Miles, what's up?"

"Hey Lilly," Miley cheerfully smiled at hearing the voice of her blonde companion, and Lilly could not take away the smile that painted on her face when she heard the pop stars voice. "Look, it's been awhile since we hanged out and I was just wondering-"

Panic struck inside Lilly and she quickly answered, with Miley not being able to finish her sentence. "I can't."

Miley's smile faded into a frown and she knitted her eyebrows together. "But why?" Lilly heard the sadness in Miley's voice and her stomach cringed.

"I'm really sorry Miley, but, umm, m-my Mom needs my help today." Tripping over her words and her heart beating faster every second did not make it easier for Lilly to lie.

"Lils, you're lyin'" Even though Lilly could not see it Miley folded her arms, as she placed the phone between her shoulder and neck, and tapped her foot. "Give me the real reason Lil."

Lilly's face dropped at Miley's statement, but returned to normal, knowing she was right. "I just cant Miles, i-it's a personal thing, I guess."

Lilly started to grow depressed. She wanted to hang out with Miley but the risk of her doing something or getting caught was increasing. "Lilly," Miley sad her name with a sigh and Lilly closed her eyes, not wanting to hear it. "C'mon on seriously why?"

"Miley stop." Lilly was growing aggravated. "Just because."

The tension in Miley started to increase so she responded with the same sternness and energy Lilly gave her. "Just because why?"

"Because Miley!" The angrier Lilly get the more her heart hurt. She did not want to fight Miley, or lose her friendship with barely even telling Miley what was wrong with her.

"Fine." Miley rolled her eyes and decided to release her stubbornness. "You don't have to tell me because why."

Lilly opened her mouth to speak but thought against it. She went to respond. "Because…" The line went dead and Lilly pulled the phone away from her ear to the front of her face looking down at it. "Because I love you." Lilly tossed her phone away and laid back down as tears started to fall slowly out of her closed eyelids.

Miley grabbed her teddy bear, Beary, and held on to him tight as she cried. She let out a sigh as tears started to stain on Beary's tan fur. "I hate this Beary. I just don't know what to do." She turned the stuff animal around so it would face her, and traced the outline of the bear's eyes. "She makes me crazy."

Miley stared deep into the bear's black eyes hoping for an answer. "We have not hung out for the longest time, and anytime we do hang out I end up looking like an idiot. I don't know, she makes my stomach fill with butterflies and warms my body up just with her smile."

Miley lay down and held Beary in the air while looking at him. "Beary?" She placed the doll on her stomach and looked up towards the ceiling. "I think I'm falling in love with Lilly."

Miley curled up on her side gripping her bear tightly as her tears started to flow faster. Wishing the conversation she just had with her best friend and now crush never happened.

Night has now fallen over Malibu covering the city in a dark blanket. Lilly had not moved all day. She had fallen asleep on her bed after her tears finally calmed down.

Tossing and turning in her bed she was fighting a dream that was slowing turning into a nightmare. The conflict of the dream was coming when it became too much for Lilly and she woke up jumping half of her body into the air.

Sweat was dripping down the blonde's body and her hair was a mess. She pushed her fingers through her hair and swung her legs over to hand off the bed. She put her arms on her knees and her hand in her palms closing her eyes. Shaking her head she decided that she has had enough. "I can't take it anymore!"

Lilly got up and changed quickly into not so wrinkled clothes. Throwing on a pair of shoes she rushed out of her bedroom door, down the stairs, and out into the cool night air.

--x--

Miley also had fallen asleep once her tears ceased and she was gripping Beary tighter as groans escaped from the singers mouth with every toss her body made. The dream becoming to intense her eye shot open and was welcomed to darkness. "Oh my gosh."

Miley sat up in her bed and rubbed her eyes. She moved her hands to her hair, pushing it back. "What a dream." Miley put her legs Indian style on her bed and with her right arm plopped it on her knee while her hand pressed upon her cheek holding her head up.

Sitting in silence Miley started to hear noises outside of her balcony window. Even though scared she walked over to the doors and opened them scanning the outside. "W-who's there?" Shaking in her voice and her body Miley stepped out into the night.

Seeing a hand appear above the railing made Miley squeal, to scared to do anything else, her body just shut down out of fright. The stranger made their way over the railing and started shushing Miley. "Miles, relax its me."

"Lilly?" Lilly made her way over to Miley and placed her hands on the girl's arms nodding. "You scared the sh-"

"I know, lets get inside." Lilly grabbed Miley's arm and walked them both back inside Miley's room.

"Lilly what are you doing here." Miley stood in her room closing the door of her balcony behind her as Lilly paced back and forth.

"I-uh just wanted to apologize for this afternoon, y'know on the phone and the other days before." Lilly started fidgeting with her hands as she paced across Miley's floor.

"Oh," Miley let her guard down, the tension and anger inside of her diminishing. "Its okay Lils, and would ya stop pacing, you're gonna make a hole on my floor."

Stilling running back and forth and fidgeting with her hands Lilly shook her head 'no'. "I don't think I can Miles, I'm just nervous, scared, nauseous." Lilly paused for a second to hold her stomach and the continued to pace.

Miley grew concerned for her best friend. "About what Lils? Everything is fine between us."

"No, no," Lilly pointed with her finger and started to wag it in no one in particular. "That is where you are wrong Miles, nothing is fine between us." Miley did say anything and just raised her eyebrow at her blonde friend. Giving Lilly a chance to speak up again. "Something is going on, an, and I don't know what it is, I-I can't figure it out. Y-y-you make me feel this-this thing something that I thought was impossible, a-and you have me totally confused Miles, I just d-don't I don't what it is, a-and the strange thing is I like it." Lilly paused for a second and turned to Miley looking at her dead in the eye. Miley remained speechless and motionless, her heart started to race at each word Lilly was saying. "Miles, I…I don't know what is going on between you and I and I don't want it to stop. But you are killing Miles, everyday every minute, second even. I…" Lilly looked down and bit her bottom fighting tears that might fall. She walked close to Miley face to face. "I wanna know what it is Miles."

Miley searched Lilly's blue eyes seeing fear, curiosity, and confusion. Miley swallowed the lump in her throat and could not decipher if this was actually happening or not. But Lilly started to make Miley weak in the knees. "W-what are y-you talking about Lilly?"

Lilly stepped closer and Miley took a step back. "You can't tell me you have not noticed Miley. Something changed between us. Please Miley I promise, I mean I'm scared I don't want things to change but I just need to know."

Miley grew scared as well. She did not want their friendship to end. But she also would like to try an explore her new feelings, but she was afraid. What was holding her back? She could not figure it out so she kept in utter denial. "I-I don't know what you are talking about Lils."

"God Miley!" Lilly grew fed up and she held the taller girls arms and pushed her against the door to the balcony making them shake and overlapped her lips with Miley's. Miley slowly lost control and her eyes shut instantly as her hands found Lilly's waist. The feeling both girls were getting was incredible and neither wanted to stop.

Realizing Miley would not fight back Lilly became daring. She moved her hands to Miley's face as their lips moved in rhythm. Sparks of electricity flew through both girls and causing their hearts to jump with excitement and joy. Lilly moved her body closer to Miley just to feel the warmth as their lips danced in heaven.

Not satisfied with their contact Miley grabbed Lilly's hips and pushed them into her own making Lilly moan deep in her throat. Lilly moved barely centimeters away from Miley's velvet lips to swipe her tongue across them. Not wasting anytime Miley's mouth parted and Lilly's slippery tongue slid in traveling all over Miley's mouth, making her moan and echoing in Lilly's mouth.

Lilly pushed herself on Miley a little harder as their tongues battled in a war. Becoming tired and need for oxygen grew the girls slowed down. Lilly withdrew her tongue but not before getting another swipe from Miley's. The girls slowly pulled away lightly kissing each other as they heard the other breath through their parted mouths. Their lips met one more time lingering on each other before slowly pulling away.
