A/N:: (To Therealcorpse: I all ready planned on it :D I planned on it being longer than on ch camping trip, I'm thinking of one more ch of the trip) I own nothing, but the story idea and OCsThe next morning Miley woke up and slowly got out of the sleeping bag, leaving Lilly to sleep a little more. Putting on a sweeter, Miley stepped outside to see only Megan was awake as well. Sitting down by the fire Megan was cooking quietly; Miley wondered if Megan would know what was going on with Lilly.


"Megan… what… what happened to Lilly that made her stop talking?"

Megan looked up from her cooking and sighed. She figured Lilly would have had a nightmare. At home there were many nights she had roll over and share her bed with the crying girl. She would hold Lilly the tears wouldn't stop 'til Lilly passed out.

Megan laid in bed sound asleep in bed 'til she felt something shaking her and she opened her eyes. Blinking a few times she realized it was Lilly, holding a pillow to her chest, which was trying to wake her up.

Moving over, Lilly slipped into the bed and curled into her aunt. Megan just held her and whispered soft words to her trying to calm her. It brought a tear to her eyes when she saw Lilly's body shake with the soundless. Finally Lilly fell back asleep, still crying.

"I don't really know Miley. She came home limping and holding her head about three years ago. We were having a family reunion then, because of Lilly's game win goal, so her parents were there. They were so fuc.. fricken sure she was drunk, but I knew that wasn't it. I took her to the hospital and they were shocked to find out that she had three broken ribs and a bad concussion. She didn't say anything about it and to this day she hasn't spoken a word." Megan told her, going back to cooking their breakfast.

Miley took in the new information and after a few minutes Robbie crawled out of his tent. His hair stuck up like a peacock and Miley couldn't hold back her laugh. He gave her a confused look and that just made her laugh a little more. Opening her eyes, looking back at where she had came; she was Lilly coming out with a sweat shirt over her pajama's shirt. Lilly yawned and smiled over at Miley, who couldn't help but smile back at the blond.

"Good morning sunshine!" Miley said in a mock voice.

Lilly playfully glared at her then sat down next to her. Megan handed both of them a plate before getting on for Robbie and herself. Lilly quickly ate hers then laid down in the dirt looking up at the clear sky. When Miley was done she glanced at Lilly and thought about what they could do today.

"Hey Lilly. Want to go on a ride with me?"

Lilly nodded and walked up to were she had tied up Clarissa last night. Undoing the tie she got on her horse and rode away slowly with Miley right behind her. When they were a little away from the camp Miley leaned over and kissed Lilly's cheek. Lilly didn't mind, but lifted an eyebrow at Miley.

"That was to return the gesture last night." Miley smiled.

Lilly smiled and kicked Clarissa lightly to tell the horse to go into a canter. Miley laughs from behind her and gallops to making up for the distance. They slow down when they see a lake. Get off of Clarissa, Lilly slowly wades out into the middle of the lack with her pajama pants rolled up. She had left her sweat shirt on Clarissa. Taking a deep breath she hadn't realized Miley had followed her into the water.

Suddenly she was pushed forward and was underwater. She panicked at first then she realized that it just Miley and smiled well coming back to the surface. Miley looked away acting like it wasn't her, but Lilly wasn't going to fall for it. She dunked Miley under before closing her eyes while she chuckled to herself. It surprised her a little.

When ever she tried to laugh after .. it happened .. there was never a sound. In her shock she didn't noticed that was Miley was right in front of her for a moment. When she did realize this she also realized that their legs were tangled under the water. Miley watched Lilly carefully, before she leaned in slowly. Lilly wondered what was going though Miley's mind then a thought hit her.

Lilly gave Miley a sad look before she pulled back slightly. Miley stopped, fear and sadness crossed her face and she smiled before diving below the surface of the water to clear her head. Lilly ran her fingers though her hair before she dove after Miley hoping to be able to explain to Miley a little why she had pulled away. It wasn't that Lilly hadn't wanted to kiss Miley she just… wasn't sure she was ready to love yet.

Diving a little deeper and was about to surface again when she felt something snagging her foot. She looked at her left foot and she saw a rope tangled to her foot that was tied to a log under that water. She pulled, trying to get loose, but it made it worse. By the time she tried to use her hands she was slipping away from this world.

Above water Miley wondered if Lilly had left, but she saw Clarissa and was confused. She looked around then she noticed bubbles and dived under to see Lilly just floating with a rope around her ankle. Miley panicked and quickly untied the rope around Lilly's ankle. She swam then to the surface and dragged Lilly out of the water. Once out of the water she got on her knees and started doing CPR. After a few pushes on Lilly's chest the blonde started coughing up water.

Miley sighed with relief and ran a hand though her arm trying to calm herself down. She glanced at Lilly who was giving her a odd look in Miley book. She felt Lilly squeeze her hand and she knew that meant they had to talk. That meant they had to get back to camp. Lilly smiled when Miley realized what she wanted then she passed out. Miley poked the girl's side then checked to see if she was breathing, glad that she was. Lifting the blonde up she carried her over to Blue Jeans, glad she had took 'n' his saddle off. She laid Lilly on his back and double checked that she wouldn't fall off of the white quarter horse.

When that was done Miley looked at Blue Jeans' saddle then glanced at Clarissa. She walked over to the horse care not to scare her. Clarissa reared up, letting Lilly's sweater fall off her back and the mare moved away from the sweater, trying to get away from Miley. The brunette picked up the sweater and went back the blond owner. She placed that sweater on Lilly's back; trying to keep her a little warm then went back to Clarissa.

The mare snorted at her and Miley sighed. Every step she took closer to Clarissa, the horse would move back. She stood still and studied the horse before she sighed, glancing at Lilly again. The blond shook with a shiver and Miley walked back over to her, knowing that Clarissa wasn't important at the moment. She placed her own sweater on the sleeping girl; even if she was wet she was more worried about Lilly.

Miley looked at Clarissa and told the horse, "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to help Lilly and I know you do to… I love her. I need your help though. Please Clarissa. I wouldn't ask you if I didn't have a choice. I know your Lilly's horse and I wouldn't want to treat me any different than this one time. This has to do with Lilly so please?"

Clarissa studied Miley for a little then looked at Lilly. Even if she was a horse you could tell that she understood what was going on and she stepped closer to Miley, still looking at Lilly. The brunette smiled and picked up Blue Jeans' saddle, before walking over to Clarissa. The horse didn't move so she put Blue Jeans' saddle on top of Clarissa's own. She patted Clarissa gently, getting a look that said, 'don't push it'. Miley shook her head at how much Lilly and Clarissa were a like when it came to expressing their feelings though faces.

Untying the mare she walked over to Blue Jeans, untied him then started walking them back to camp. Clarissa nudged Lilly's sleeping form softly with her head then hung her head, sad that her owner hand responded. Miley smiled sadly at the horse and looked at Lilly herself. She was worried to. When she got back to camp she noticed that Megan and her father were gone so she tied Clarissa up, taking both saddles off then she tied Blue Jeans up.

Slowly she slid Lilly off of the white horse and carried her, bridle style into their shared tent. Once she had laid Lilly down she zipped up the tent and put both of them under the sleeping bag. She held Lilly and waited for Lilly to wake up. She only moved once to grab Lilly's phone for when she woke up.

A few minutes later Lilly started to stir and Miley smiled down at her. Lilly looked up and Miley knew it was time to talk. She handed Lilly her phone before starting her questions.

"Do you mind that I like you?"

'no I don't'

"Why did you… do you not like me back?"

'i… its better if we weren't together'

"But I want to be with you." Miley told her.

'I'm not sure I'm able to love… still'

"I'm sure you Lilly. Just give me a chance and I'll show you that you can."

'I…'

Miley looked at the text weirdly before looking down at Lilly. The moment she had she felt soft lips against her own. It only took her a second, but she kissed Lilly back and smiled. When they pulled apart Lilly typed a text, handed her phone to Miley before she snuggled into the girl in the sleeping bag with her.

Miley looked at the text and couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. She couldn't believe this was happening. One minute she's moving her horse to a stable near by; meets a quite stable hand, learns she is mute, learns she is gay, and the best part, is she fell in love with a stable hand that is a gay mute.

Miley the text one more time Miley put the phone down and snuggled into Lilly more. The words still in her head and still had her smiling.

'I'm scared that I'm gonna screw this up, but I'm willing to give you a change, if you'll have me'
