Episode 1: Sleepwalking
Chapter 7
It was Saturday night and Miley and Miley were sitting on the couch watching television together. Miley's head was on Lilly's shoulder and Miley had her feet up on the coffee table so that they were in a more comfortable position. Lilly was currently drawing circle's on Miley's belly while Miley had her arm around Lilly and was rubbing Lilly's arm. They were supposed to go back to the college campus tomorrow since classes started Monday. All week, ever since they got together, they have been inseparable. They decided to start sleeping in the same bed every night since they both slept better with the other one by their side. They could feel their love growing and somehow they knew that they would last a long time.
While Lilly was drawing circles on her best friend's belly, she was deep in thought. Last night she had a dream, a dream very similar to the first dream she had. In the dream Lilly saw both Miley and Oliver in a crowd. She walked towards them but this time instead of them drifting away, they stayed right where they were. When Lilly walked up to them, this time Miley gave her a kiss and Oliver gave her a hug. She didn't really know what to make of the dream. All she knew was that in the first dream she felt empty and like things just weren't in the right place but with this dream, she had a sense that everything was as it should be.
Miley looked down at her best friend who had a serious look on her face and she could tell Lilly was deep in thought. She always loved the faces her Lilly made but this one was really cute in her eyes. She gave Lilly kiss on her head then said, "Penny for your thoughts," As Lilly glanced up at her.
"I'm just thinking Miles." Lilly said as she gave her best friend a slight smile. She could tell Miley was looking for a bigger answer than that so she decided to tell her. "Miles, do you remember the first night when you came back from Paris and I was sleepwalking?"
Miley nodded her head giving Lilly permission to tell Miley about the dream. When Lilly was finished telling Miley about both of her dreams, she looked up at her girlfriend and said, "I have no idea what those dreams meant Miley. All I know is that when Oliver was my boyfriend and you were just my best friend, something didn't feel right, something was missing but when you became my girlfriend and Oliver became just my best friend, everything felt complete."
Miley really didn't know what to think of those dreams either but she always believed that your dreams sometimes were meant to tell you something. "I don't know Lils, maybe it's a sign of some kind. Sometimes we probably aren't really supposed to know."
"I guess. I like to think it was a sign that you and I are supposed to be together," Lilly said as she hugged Miley.
"So do I Lils," Miley said with a smile as she held Lilly closer to her. Miley loved little moments like this with her best friend. Before they started dating, they had it all the time but now it seemed different. She couldn't really explain it. Maybe she wasn't meant to but all she knew was that she was happy. When Lilly was dating Oliver, she would always get grossed out when they would kiss or act anything like a couple. At the time she thought it was just the idea of seeing your two best friends acting in a way that you're not used to but now, looking back, she realized that maybe she was jealous. Maybe she was jealous because she wanted to be the one dating Lily and now that she was, nothing seemed to bother her. Except if Oliver did walk up and kiss Lilly now. That would bother her for obvious reasons but she knew that wouldn't happen.
Miley looked back up at the television as she put her cheek on top of Lilly's head, which was now on her shoulder. The news was currently talking about Miley taking a break from her celebrity life in order to go to college. Miley started thinking about when she was Hannah Montana.
"She could be the one, she could be the one, she could be the one," Miley quietly started singing.
Lilly gently rubbed Miley's side and said with humor in her voice, "What are you doing Miles?"
"Just re-writing some of my songs. I said pinch me where's the catch this time, can't find a single cloud in the sky, help me before I get used to this girl," Miley continued to sing softly.
"You're crazy Miles."
"I know, but you love me anyway."
"That I do Miles, that I do."
Miley and Lilly continued to watch television for the rest of the evening and then went to bed. The next morning, Robbie Ray helped them pack their stuff back in their car as they got ready to head back to campus. When they finished packing Miley gave her father a hug.
"Thanks for letting us come back for a little while daddy."
Robbie Ray smiled during the hug and said, "You two are welcome back here anytime you want. You know that."
"I know dad," Miley said as she pulled away from her father. "Thanks again," Miley said as she walked toward Lilly who was standing next to the car.
"Are ready to go?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, do you want me to drive?"
"Sure," Miley said as she and Lilly smiled dreamy smiles at each other.
Miley and Lilly got in the car and waved to Robbie Ray and Jackson as they drove off. The car ride was spent in comfortable silence for the first half of the car.
"Are you nervous about classes tomorrow Lil?" Miley asked staring out the window.
"Kind of but I also feel good about it. How about you?" Lilly asked, her eyes focused on the road.
"I feel the same way. It's a new beginning but still, are you sure we will be ok?" Miley asked as she looked at her best friend. She knew they would be but she needed to be reassured. Starting college or anything new can be really scary.
Lilly smiled and took one of her hands off of the wheel and took Miley's hand in hers. "Yeah, I'm sure we'll be just fine."
Miley smiled back and laid her head on Lilly's shoulder. She knew Lilly was right.
After a couple of hours, Lilly pulled into the school parking lot. She put the car in park and looked down at Miley who had fallen asleep on her shoulder. She ran her hand through Miley's hair to wake her.
"Miles, we're here."
All Miley did was bury her face more into Lilly's neck and mumbled, "I don't want to move, this is comfortable."
Lilly smiled down at her best friend. "I know Miles but we have to get our stuff back up to our room." When Miley didn't respond, Lilly leaned down and whispered in Miley's ear, "Besides, we can continue this up in our room."
Miley lifted her head up quickly just as Lilly moved her face away from Miley's ear. "What are we waiting on then," Miley said as she opened the door and got out of the car. Lilly laughed at her best friend's antics and shook her head as she got out of the car.
Once they got their suitcases out of the car, they held hands as they walked into the dorms. Miley was thinking about how funny it was that the last time they walked out of there, Lilly and Oliver were a couple and now she and Lilly were a couple. Obviously Lilly was thinking the same thing as she squeezed Miley's hand.
"It's funny how things change," Lilly said with a smile on her face.
Miley knew exactly what Lilly was referring to as she said, "Yeah, it really is."
They continued to walk down the hall to their dorm. The feelings that they had while holding hands or any close contact couldn't be described. They turned the corner and walked to their dorm room. Miley was just about to open their door when they heard someone behind them.
"Miley, Lilly, where were you? We were looking everywhere for you," Amber said behind them.
"Doubt it," Lilly mumbled under her breath as Miley rolled her eyes then they turned around. All Miley wanted was some quiet time with her Lilly and they were screwing it up.
"We went home for a little while," Miley said, putting on a fake smile, "Now if you will excuse us, we need to have some time alone." After that Miley quickly opened the door and pulled Lilly in with her and shut the door behind them.
"Could they get any more annoying?" Miley groaned as she leaned up against the door.
Lilly smiled as she walked up to Miley and wrapped her arms around Miley's waist, "No, they have always been annoying. Especially when they would do that finger thing."
Miley laughed as she wrapped her arms around Lilly, "Yeah, that used to annoy you so much back when we were fourteen. I still remember one time when I had to keep you from pretty much killing them."
"You were always good at that, you know. Calming me down that is," Lilly said as she buried her face in Miley's neck. She breathed in the scent of her best friend that she loved. Today it was a mixture of flowers.
"It's all part of my job," Miley said as she stroked Lilly's hair. She bent down slightly and kissed Lilly's forehead, loving the feeling of her best friend against her. She glanced up at their beds. She wanted to be able to push the beds together to make one big bed so that they had more room to sleep. "Hey Lils?"
"Yeah Miles?" Lilly said as she buried her face deeper into Miley's neck.
"How about you help me push our beds together then we can cuddle up and watch television?"
Lilly smiled into Miley's neck as she said, "I like how that sounds."
After they rearranged their beds and the bedside table they cuddled up on their bed with Miley's head on Lilly's chest. Lilly was currently rubbing Miley's arm while Miley rubbed Lilly's side with her hand. They were in complete happiness as long as they were together. The only thing that was on Lilly's mind that was bothering her was telling people about them. They no longer had Hannah and Lola to hide behind. They were Miley and Lilly and she knew that this could ruin Miley's career.
"Miley, I need to ask you something but you have to promise me you won' get upset and you'll let me explain." Lilly said with nervousness in her voice.
Miley stopped rubbing Lilly's side and sat up on her arm and looked down at her. She had no idea what Lilly was going to tell her. "Okay, I promise I'll let you explain."
Lilly sighed. Miley only promised she would let her explain, not that she wouldn't be upset which didn't help matters but she knew she had to ask. "Well, Miles, are you sure you want to tell people about us?"
Miley looked at her with hurt and confusion written all over her face which just made Lilly feel bad. "Do you not want to? Are you ashamed of us Lils?"
"No, no, not at all Miles, that didn't come out the way I wanted it to." Lilly rubbed both of Miley's arms, trying to calm her best friend's nerves. "It's just that, you aren't Hannah Montana anymore so this won't affect her life, it will affect yours. I just don't want to see your singing career go downhill just because we came out as a couple. I couldn't live with myself if I knew I was the reason you were no longer doing what you love."
Miley sighed and shook her head. She couldn't believe that she didn't get it yet. "Lils, do you even understand why I gave up Hannah Montana?"
"Yeah, you wanted to go to Stanford and you wanted your dating life with Jesse to be easier," Lilly responded still not sure where Miley was going with this.
"Yes, that was part of the reason but only a tiny part. Lilly, I knew that this was your dream school. You were willing to give it up to got to Malibu Community College with me but I knew that deep down that wasn't what you really wanted. Lils, I gave up Hannah Montana for you. It took me a while to realize it but I gave it up for you and I would do it again in a heartbeat." Miley said with all sincerity in her voice and looking straight into Lilly's eyes so that she knew how serious she was.
Lilly had tears lining her eyes at this point. She knew that college was the reason Miley gave up Hannah Montana but she never really daydreamed the fact that she was the real reason.
"Lils, I also gave up that movie in Paris which I would also do again. I love you and if giving up my singing career is what it takes for me to be with you then I would do it. I would do anything for you."
By this time tears were rolling down Lilly's face as she pulled Miley into a gentle kiss. Miley reached up and wiped the tears off of her best friend's cheeks. After a few minutes they pulled away when air became a need.
"So I guess that means you're ok with telling people?" Lilly asked but she already knew the answer.
"Yeah, I am. I want to be with you Lils and if people don't like that and want me to stop being in the public eye then I will. I just got you and I never want to lose you."
"You won't Miley, trust me. It's not possible."
Miley smiled as she bent down to give Lilly a long kiss. They both knew that they could get through anything as long as they were together.
Author's note: I hope ya'll enjoyed that chapter. I think there will be one or two more chapters in this episode. I know I will be writing about their first week of college in this episode so it all just depends on how long that turns out to be. Then, I will start on the second episode which I have all planned out and I even have a title for it but you'll have to wait to see what it is. Please review and feel free to PM me if you want. :-)
