Is it so bad that I enjoy writing in Lilly's POV more then Miley's? Ha ha... anyways, this whole chapter is in Lilly's POV, but there is Moliver goodness in it! Which I hope you like... And don't get the chapter's title confused, based off the song 'Who Knows' by Avril Lavigne, it is not based off 'Who Knew' by Pink... in case you thought that... if not then I'm the only one.

Chapter 9-

Who Knows?

"Hello? Anyone home?" I called as I knocked on the door. I heard a crash and then a bang before the door finally opened.

"Miley's not here." Jackson said.

"What happened?" I asked and then poked my head in through the gap and saw the couch toppled over.

"Nothing." He said sleepily before letting me in and walking towards the sofa. "Help me?"

"Only if you help me first." I said. Jackson sighed.

"Lilly, it's too early in the morning to make any deals now." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"You won't sell your soul to me or anything." I stated. Jackson looked at me for a moment and I thought he really did think he was going to sell his soul to me or something along those lines…

"Ok, what is it?" He asked.

"Alright, do you know what's going on with Miley?" I asked him. Jackson shook his head. "She's helping two of the most evilest girls in the school break a guys heart. Only problem is this guy is my friend and I don't want him to get hurt, nor Miley."

"And why should I care about what my little sister is doing?" Jackson asked. I walked to the other side of the couch and then helped him pick it up.

"Please Jackson, I'm the one asking you for help. I don't want Miley or Oliver to get hurt with this whole thing."

"Why me? What can I do?"

"All we need to do is stop Mikayla, Amber and Sarah from messing with Miley's head. Please help me Jackson, I'll even pay you!" I begged him.

Jackson sat down on the now righted couch and looked at me. I was starting to get worried that he wouldn't agree, but eventually he nodded his head.

"Alright, I'll do it. But I have to warn you, my services aren't cheap!"

"Thank you Jackson!" I said and quickly hugged him before pulling away. "I, uh…"

"We'll pretend that didn't happen." He said.

"Yeah. Ok, do you have any ideas?"

"Well, first you're going to have to tell me everything, starting from the beginning."

"Uhm, ok. So it all started in gym class…"

xXxXx

"Lilly, what was so urgent?" Miley asked me. I turned around in my seat; still drinking the smoothie Jackson had just given me.

"Just wanted to talk, find out how last night went." I said, leaning against the countertop.

"That all?" Miley asked. I just nodded and she looked at Jackson.

"Ok, I get the hint, but I work here you know." He said and then moved off to the other customers.

I patted the seat next to me, which Miley then sat on. I crossed my leg and put my hands on my lap, trying to look business like. Miley just gave me a weird look so I sat normally then.

"Last night was…" She started but then trailed off. "Well, uh…"

"You can be honest with me." I told her.

"Amazing!" She finally said. Hhm, just as I feared. "But that's good right, it means the plan is working?"

I looked at Miley and I could tell she was worried now, worried that she wasn't messing this whole thing up. I couldn't comfort her because I couldn't let her know I would do anything in my power to make sure she stays with Oliver, otherwise she wouldn't tell me anything.

"Uh, yeah sure. But remember the promise you made to me?" I asked.

"Lilly, I haven't fallen for him. Honestly, I could be the only girl in Malibu who won't fall for Oliver Oken." She said it with such determination that for a fraction of a moment I believed her.

But for like a split second.

"Then prove that to me then, 'cause here comes lover boy." I said and smiled innocently while Miley glared at me. Hey, this would be so much fun if Oliver didn't act like a jerk. Like maybe in some alternative reality the three of us could have been like best friends, which would make my job so much easier.

Yeah, like that'd ever happen anyways.

"Hey Miley." Oliver said as he walked towards us. Of course he completely forgot about me and I thought he was messing around, but he really wasn't. I noticed that once he'd spotted Miley, he couldn't take his eyes off of her!

"Hey Oliver." She said and spun around so fast that she knocked the smoothie out of my hand. Or she did it on purpose; I really hate karma sometimes.

"Oh no, it's fine. Forget the fact that the rest of my smoothie is now on the sand and that I won't go asking you to buy me a new one." I muttered, but Miley hadn't heard me. I looked and saw she wasn't sitting on her seat but was standing next to Oliver, the two of them talking softly to each other.

Oliver had taken Miley's hand and was holding it while he had his other wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Was it odd that I found this scene sweet and sickening at the same time? I mean, Oliver is like a brother to me… I do not want to watch him kissing girls who happen to be my friend.

Yet it was so sweet because it was obvious that those two looked so cute together. And by the look on Oliver's face, last night was a success too.

"So what's the plan then?" I heard Jackson ask me and I turned to face him. In his hands was a new smoothie. "On the house."

"Thanks." I said as I took it from him. I then looked back at Miley and Oliver who seemed oblivious to everyone else. It was amazing how quickly the plan was unravelling for Mikayla, Amber and Sarah, but I had a feeling they'd try to stop that once they found out.

And that was were Jackson and I come in.

"Right now, we do nothing." I told him.

"You sure? Because here comes the other three." He said and I turned around to see Mikayla, Amber and Sarah walking down the boardwalk, straight towards Miley and Oliver.

"Oh crap." I said and then jumped off my chair again and ran towards them. "Hey guys! What are you doing down here at the beach?"

"Is that Miley with Oliver?" Mikayla asked.

"Uh… what if it is?"

"Has she forgotten about our plan?" Amber asked. "What is she doing with him anyways?"

I turned around and saw the two of them sitting down in my seat, but Miley was sitting in Oliver's lap now. He was holding onto her like his life depended on it.

"Uhm, I think it's called flirting." I said to the other three.

"Why didn't she tell us she was meeting him down here?" Mikayla asked, ignoring me now.

I rolled my eyes. "Because they just met here! Look, how about you guys go off and I go save Miley and then you can talk to her." I lied.

Sarah looked at the other two who were busy glaring daggers at Miley and then looked at me. "Lilly's right…"

"Keep quiet Sarah." Amber hissed.

"Ok, tell Miley we'll meet at her house in an hour. She better be there or else." Mikayla said and then turned around and walked off. Amber was unsure as to what to do, so she followed behind. Sarah smiled at me before following them.

I turned around and was getting prepared to go back and give Miley the message, but she wasn't there.

Nor was my smoothie.

"Where'd they go?" I asked Jackson as I sat down back in my seat.

"I think back to my house. Miley saw you talking to the other three and then grabbed Oliver and ran."

"And my smoothie?"

"Oliver took it."

"I'll kill him later then." I said as I then picked up my bag. "Wait, give me your cell phone."

"Why?" He asked, but handed me his cell.

I quickly typed in my cell number. "So you can reach me if you see the others come back here. And for the future, in case we need to reach each other."

"Ok." Jackson said as I handed back his cell phone. I then turned around and headed towards the Stewart's house.

I wasn't mentally prepared for what I saw when I got there.


Next chapter we'll (eventually) go back to Miley. Though I don't know for how long, I may write a chapter in Oliver's POV... though I may not. We'll see how things go. :)

And I am not going to comment on Lilly's ending statement.

Uh... there's a poll up on my profile, if you could all take the time to vote. I just want to know if I should change my pen-name to my common username (because my pen-name is very weird...) and I just want to see what everyone thinks.

That is it... I should update again on Sunday or Monday. Till then guys.
