A/N I know, I'm awful, I haven't updated in forever! Well, at least it seems like it. Anyway, I'm excited to write this chapter. It's bringing back a little of the past without any flashbacks! Thanks for the reviews!

Miley's POV

I rushed things with Jake. I think I just wanted something to get my mind off of Jackson. I completely took advantage of Jake. He was just a distraction. Although, I do like him. No, I love him. But I can't just move on like that. I need time to let this sink in. It's only been 5 days. I haven't said a word to anyone in 3 days. I haven't gone to school. I can't face the world yet though. My dad is starting to worry. Well, he started to worry after one day of silence. Tomorrow is Jackson's funeral. I don't think I want to go. I need to clear things up with Jackson. I think I know how.

Dear Jackson,

I miss you very much. I hope you understand how hard it is to go on without you. I'm sorry. I used Jake a just a thing to get over you. I shouldn't have. But what am I going to tell him? I used him? He would be heart broken. I need you to help me. Send me some sort of sign. I miss the way you would help me with these things. You were always there for me, even when we fought. I love you, Jackson. It's important that you know that there is never a second where I don't think of you. I hope you do the same. I know your in a better place now, I just wish that place was with me. You are always in my heart, and in my mind.

Forever your Sister,

Miley

I folded the letter and put it in an envelope. I sealed it and wrote Jackson on the front.

"Daddy? I'm going to the beach, but before I do, I just want to say that I'm sorry. I put you through more misery than you deserved. I was just scared…" he cut me off.

"Oh, Miley, it's alright. I know you're confused. I am too. But this is our challenge. We were given this challenge because we could handle it. But Hannah has had to cancel something for the first time ever. And your friends miss you at school. You haven't called Lilly and she's very worried." this time I cut him off.

"Daddy, I'm going back to school and I'm going to handle the Hannah situation. I have a concert tomorrow, so we don't have to cancel it, okay? It's all good. Now, I need to take care of some business in the beach. I love you, Daddy." I walked off to the beach, with my letter in my hands.

Lilly's POV

"Hey Oliver! It's Lilly. When you get this message call me! Bye" I hung up the phone. I wanted to meet Oliver at the beach and tell him that I don't just like him, I love him. I heard the phone ring. Yes! It's him.

"Hello?" I acted as if I didn't know…..

"Hey, Lilly, it's Oliver. You just called right? I just got home." I really did love him. I loved everything about him. "Lilly?" Oh snap, I forgot I was talking to him. I better talk before he thinks I hung up!

"Hey, sorry. I was daydreaming. Do you want to meet me at the beach in like 15 minutes?"

"Sure. I'll see you then."

"Bye, I love you" OH MY GOD! Did I just say that?! I hung up before he could respond. Maybe he already hung up before I said that. Hopefully.

Okay, here at the beach, just waiting for Oliver. I made sure I took a long time to get ready, for two reasons. The first, just to pass time and to make me late. I'm so embarrassed. The second reason, I just wanted to look good for him. Okay here he comes. He looks nervous too. I'm sweating! Oh my god I'm sweating!!!

"Hey, Oliver…" I didn't know what to say.

"Hey Lils…um about what you said, did you mean it?" Oh, yeah, he heard it. Great.

"Well, Oliver, yes, I did. I love you. But you don't have to respond, it just slipped! I'm really sorry if it puts pressure on you." I didn't know if I could stand the embarrassment any longer.

"Lilly, I love you too." Oh my god! He just said he loved me! I pulled him into a long kiss. I was so happy! We spent the next three hours there, just hanging out, like we normally would. But this time it was like we both knew a little secret.

Miley's POV

I knew this would only take a few minutes. With the letter in my hand, I made sure it was nice and windy outside. Yep, the trees are moving, alright. I attached the letter to a balloon and threw it into the air. I watched it float away and I knew somehow, Jackson would read it. I went back home. I felt really tired so I marched right up into my room and fell asleep after a few minutes.

Miley's Dream

"Miley! Miley!" I heard a yelling from across the beach. Jackson! Jackson it's you!

"Jackson, what are you doing here?" I was in such shock!

"I'm sending you a sign, Miley. I read your letter. I missed you so much. I miss everybody still." I almost cried. I couldn't believe he was standing here. My dead brother. I almost laughed at the thought.

"Jackson, please help me. I rushed things with Jake, and I'm afraid to tell him! I don't want him to think I don't like him, because I do! But I don't think I'm ready to have him as my boyfriend. I don't want to feel like I'm replacing you." I was so anxious to hear what advice he had for me.

"Miley, just because I'm not in your life anymore, doesn't mean you can't let someone new in. It's not replacing me. I'll always have a special place in your heart. Now Jake can have one too," How is it that he always knows what to say?

"Thanks, Jackson. I really wish you could come back home." I meant every last one of those words.

"I know, Miley, but you know I can't come back. This is my home now. I belong here." No, he belonged at home, with me and Dad, but I understood.

"I love you, Jackson, and one day, we will meet again." It was so hard to let him go.

"I'll be waiting, and I love you too, little sis."

I was woke up with a jolt. I heard my dad's voice calling for me. I remember so much detail of my dream, it was my sign.

"Be there in a second, Daddy!" I called to him. Just then, I realized that I would be able to go on. With much strength, I was ready to face the world.
