Here we go, with another update. I didn't take that long, did I?...Anyway, first, let's get your donuts. (throws donuts at reviewers) Ok..that's over with.

Some of you may know about someone who "copied" my story. What do I have to say about it? Actually, I don't know what to say about it. If you look at it one way, it's a way of flattery. If you look at it another way, it's a total theivery. You know what I say? Who cares. If you like that story better, read it. If you like mine, read it. If you like both, then read both. Cause I don't care. All I care about right now, is you guys who like my story and that you get an update. K?

Secrets Are Supposed To Stay Secret
Chapter 10: The Aftermath

Lilly stared at her now destroyed phone. There was no use staying home. Her eyes were cried dry, and the room was getting stuffy. She grabbed her coat and headed for the beach, where she could think. She walked out the front door, called to her mom where she was going, and began her silent walk to the beach. The sun had already set, and the air had a crisp ocean taste. As she approached the beach, she heard voices. Lilly, being curious, headed toward the sound of the voices. She crossed the trees, and found the source of the noises. Her friends, well, her ex-friends, with wigs on the ground, and Miley looking shocked.

Wigs on the ground.

Miley shocked.

Miley's eyes were wide opened, her jaw was going to fall off eventually. Oliver waved his hand in front of her face. "Miley?"

Oliver looked into her eyes. They were slowly forming a fury. Oliver stood up and slowly stepped back, "Miley..."

Miley stood up, her fist curled. Oliver could see them turning white. "Why... didn't... you... tell.. me..."

Oliver started to sweat and began babbling, "Well I was gonna tell you before, but I was scared you'd get mad, like you are now. And maybe if I told you before, you wouldn't like Drew, and then you wouldn't like me. So then I wouldn't get the nerve to ask you out on a date. And... I'm sorry, just DON'T HIT ME!!!"

Oliver continued stepping backwards, as Miley began stepping forward on Oliver. "I can't believe you kept a secret from me." Miley said. "After I told you my secret. Oliver! We're best friends! Why didn't you tell me?! Cause you were afraid I'd tell your secret?!"

"No!" Oliver exclaimed. "So I could get you to like me!"

"Oliver! We covered this. I will never, repeat NEVER like you more than a friend. Face it! Get a life. Move on." Miley barked.

"It was worth a shot, okay, Miley. Just, just don't let our friendship end because of a stupid mistake I made." Oliver shouted back.

Miley shook her head, and stopped walking, "I can't believe you lied to me, just so I could like you. After that, I don't think we should be friends anymore." She grabbed her wig from the ground and started walking away.

"Miley, wait!" Oliver called. But it was too late. She was gone. Oliver sighed and sat on the rock. He heard a rustle in the trees. Turning around, he saw Lilly emerging from the tree. Oliver turned his head back and said, "THIS is why secrets are supposed to stay secret, Lilly." He waited for Lilly to respond, but heard nothing. He turned around again, and found that Lilly was no longer in the tree. Oliver was left alone.

Miley sighed and stroked the blonde Hannah wig. The guy she thought she liked, was her best friend. Funny, that sounds like something I said to Oliver when he liked Hannah Montana.

Miley sighed. She had lost two friends in less than a week. She had to get one back. She picked up her phone and dialed Lilly's number.

---

Lilly sat on her bed and sighed. So, Miley didn't like Oliver back. But Oliver still liked Miley. How was she supposed to feel right now? Slightly relieved? Before she could answer her own question, her phone rang. Lilly sighed, picked it up, and said, "Hello?"

"Lilly. This is Miley."

"Oh. Hi Miley." Lilly said surprised. Why would Miley want to call her now? Oh duh.

"Lilly, you will not believe this. Drew Evans, he's OLIVER. Can you believe it?"

Lilly thought it over. Would Miley get mad at her for not telling her before?

"Miley, I'm sorry. I knew it all along. I know I should've told you before. I'm sorry, just don't hang up on me." Too late. Lilly heard the dial tone before she even finished her sentence.

---

Miley clenched her phone. Why were so many people keeping secrets from her? Do they not trust me? Was Lilly helping Oliver with the plan all along? Idiots! Miley dropped her phone and sighed at the ceiling.

Her friends could not trust her with a secret, yet, she had trusted hers with them. Miley thought about telling the world about Oliver's secret, but then he might counter that by telling hers. She couldn't risk it. But she had to get back somehow. But, how?

Oooo, Miley is MAD. BUHAHAHAHA. (cough) Yeah.
