A/N So I'm pretty sure you all hate me for leaving and not updating for nearly a week, but I have an excuse. There's been so much pain and drama in my personal life that I can barely find time to think for myself. I'm currently on Chapter 27, which is pretty bad considering I should be 5 chapters ahead normally.

LoveisMyDrug: She'll find it really soon! I promise!

Bella-swan1: Oh you know how little girls are! Waiting to attack when no one expects it! :D

KIBM: I'm glad you like the shoutouts because a lot of the people I know, don't! But I enjoy keeping in touch with my reviewers because I love you guys very much!

Carmen: He's mad because he knew deep down that he was guilty, but didn't want to admit it! I hope that clears things up. I get really angry when I know I'm guilty. Ahah!

Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers!

No POV

The room was awkward and quiet. The three teenagers sat on the leather couch as the producers sat in front of them. Shane sat in the middle, whilst Lilly and Mitchie sat on either side of him. The two girls would occasionally throw dirty looks at each other. One was angry because he didn't mention who he was working with. The other was angry because she wanted him to herself. Everyone felt the hostility in the room.

"Guys, focus. Shane, you and Mitchie have to come up with a duet before today ends," Tom, their producer, announced. He felt the tension in the room as well.

"We'd be working, but there's a little distraction in the room," Mitchie muttered, earning a look from Shane and Lilly.

"Well this little distraction's mommy signs your paycheck," Lilly retorted, shutting Mitchie up. Shane rolled his eyes.

"I was thinking about a slow song..." He interrupted.

"Ooh, me too Shaney," Mitchie gushed. Lilly rolled her eyes and tugged at Shane's arm. Mitchie scooted closer when she saw this. Tom sat there awkwardly trying to think up of a way to ease the hostility in the room. Shane on the other hand was trying to figure out what to say.

"Uhm, so.." Shane started awkwardly. Lilly raised one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows.

"You're so cute when you're awkward," Mitchie giggled. Lilly shot her another glare. Shane sat hopelessly between the two girls.

"This is going to be a long day," he thought to himself.

Maddie's POV

Jason and I were on another one of our dates. You could say we were official - yet, we weren't. We haven't even kissed yet! We were taking things extremely slow, but I liked it. Jason had a knack for taking me out on romantic dates. We just got done horseback riding and now we're having a picnic near a lake.

"Maddie?" He asked as he gazed intently at the birds.

"Yes?"

"Do you think birds know what relationships are?" He asked seriously. Okay, so he may have a little obsession with birds, but everyone has something about them, right?

"I don't know. I don't know if they think like humans do," I answered.

"I think everyone, every animal, has a soulmate," he said dreamily. He was so philosophical and deep when he wanted to be.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I think love is a beautiful thing. Just having someone and knowing that they're your better half - it just seems really magical. Its really nice to know that there's someone out there for me, waiting," he replied staring at me.

"Its nice when I look at my parents because I know they're still madly in love with each other and its been so long since they first met," he continued. Whenever I looked at my mom and Lilly's dad, I can see it. True unconditional love.

"How do you know when you're in love?" I questioned. He thought for a minute, then his eyes brightened.

"I think when you fall in love, you won't have to ask what love feels like. Its indescribable and I think only people in love could ever feel it," he replied thoughtfully. So how do I explain how I feel about you, Jason?

"How do you know all of this?"

"Because. I see it everyday. With my parents. With friends. With Lilly and Shane. I could see they're madly in love with each other, but they're too stubborn to admit," he laughed. He then turned to me, his beautiful eyes looking straight at me.

"I see it every time I look at you," he whispered as he kissed me. It was sweet. Even thought it felt like such a fairy tale, it was too real to be a dream. The kiss had left my heart pounding. He pulled away and smiled at me.

"Jason, I don't know how I feel about you. Its too soon to know if I love you yet, but I feel it, that strong connection between us. I more than like you," I admitted softly. I felt bad because he pretty much told me he was in love with me.

"Its okay Maddie. Love isn't rush. I just wanted to let you know how I felt about you," he said reassuringly as he wrapped his arms around me.

Love doesn't seem so far away after all.

At the Studio

"No Mitchie. How is that a love song?" Tom sighed, frustrated.

"I don't know! It just sounds nice..." She bit her lip. They've been at the studio for 2 hours now, with nothing. Lilly sat impatiently beside Shane, keeping her eyes on Mitchie' every move. At first she was angry at Shane for not telling her about Mitchie, but her anger eased when she realized that he wasn't allowed to tell anyone and understood. She looked over when she heard Shane humming to the chords he was playing.

"You're the voice I hear inside my head, the reason that I'm singing, I need to find you. I gotta find you. Oh. You're the missing piece I need, the song inside of me - I need to find you... I gotta find you," he murmured. He stopped and wrote down the notes.

"Hey.. I have a song that would go smoothly with that," Lilly exclaimed. Shame beamed and handed her his guitar.

"Don't break my baby," he warned jokingly at her. Mitchie and Tom were across the room arguing.

"I didn't know you played," he added as he watched her strum his guitar.

"No one does." He stayed quiet. Lilly closed her eyes, she was afraid that Shane would hate her singing.

"This is real, this is me. I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be now. Gonna let the light, shine on me. Now I found who I am. There's no way hold it in, no more hiding who I wanna be... This is me," she sang softly. Shane looked at her surprised. When she was younger, she sang like a tone-deaf hippo, but her voice was more than angelic.

"That's perfect," Shane whispered.

"That's perfect!" Tom exclaimed as he walked over to Lilly.

"You have to let us use that song!" He continued as he gave Lilly a pleading look. She bit her lip, unsure if she should or not. She had wrote it personally for herself comfort, but when she looked at Shane she was unsure. He needed the song, but at the same time, it looked like he understood that it was HER song.

"I don't know..." Mitchie glared at her from across the room.

"Please!" She looked over at Shane for help, but he shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay - only if you give me credit," she answered with a small smile on her face. Tom cheered and Shane gave Lilly a soft kiss on the lips.

"Thank you," he murmured into the kiss. She just nodded her head as they sat back down.

"Now, we have to finish our song. Put your part and my little part together," he said as he began strumming her song. She smiled as she heard Mitchie huff. Truscott: 1. Torres: 0.

On the way home

The couple sat happily on the car ride home. Her hand over his as he drove. Every now and then, usually at stoplights, they'd lean in for a kiss. It was nearly 9 p.m and the couple hadn't eaten yet.

"How about we go to that diner near our house?" She suggested. He nodded and then smiled at her.

When they arrived, the waitresses seemed to fawn over Shane as they led the couple to the table. Lilly smiled cheekily, knowing that he was HER boyfriend. They held hands and sat beside each other in one of the more private booths.

"You know what?" He asked softly as they pulled away from their kiss.

"What?" She questioned breathlessly.

"You're perfect. In every single way. You're beautiful. You're athletic. You even sing and play the guitar. You're everything I've always wanted in a girl, but so much more," he said quietly. Her face grew redder by the second, she shyly buried her face into his chest.

"No I'm not," he heard her muffled voice. He held her up and nodded his head.

"Yes you are," he said with a cheeky grin. A small smiled dawned on her face, as she looked down at their intertwined hands. He could sense the negative vibe.

"What's wrong?" He questioned with concern. She took in a deep breath and exhaled.

"I don't know how I feel about you.." She started off quietly. He felt his heart sink a little.

"But, I know its a lot more than when I was 9. A lot more than when we first got together. Its hard to explain. Like there are days I want to hate you, but then I can't because that FEELING is there. You're everything I wanted, ever since I was a little girl. I'm terrified everyday that I'm going to lose you. I've grown so attached that losing you would feel like my heart was ripped out and stomped on by a 500 ton boulder," she admitted. Shane looked at her, shocked.

"I guess what in trying to say is... I don't think I could live a day without you anymore.." She looked up, only to be captured into a sweet kiss. Customers around them had began to snap/record pictures and videos of the two, but they didn't mind.

Miley's room

The petite brunette sighed as she flopped onto her bed. She had a lot on her mind and she wasn't sure of what to do anymore. She was starting to show, so people at school would soon start to notice. Hannah Montana was going to announce a 1 year tour hiatus. The biggest problem of all - she wasn't sure her child's father was. She prayed every night that it'd be Jake's, but at the same time, she knew that there was only a 50 percent chance that it'd be his. Lilly and Shane were so happy now - she didn't want to ruin it because of a stupid mistake. She groaned as she felt the baby kick.

"You're feisty like your mother aren't you?" She said as she stared at her stomach. She smiled sadly. She had come to realize that her life will flip upside down once the baby was born. She wouldn't be able to have a normal adolescence as her peers.

"But its worth it because I have you, don't I?" She smiled. She wasn't sure when she should tell the rest of the gang, well... Nate and Jason. Nate and Jason would probably try to kill Jake. Jackson already does. She sighed as she thought of her dad.

"How could he?" She asked aloud.

"I thought he was going to take it a lot better than he really did... I thought he'd understand." Not once had he called her and it was slowly pulling her into a state of depression. She was thankful that Ms. Truscott had adopted her like she did, but she loved her dad more than anything.

"Sweet niblets dad, why do you have to be so stubborn?" She groaned as she smacked her forehead.

"Ouch," she heard a giggle from the doorway. She smiled when she saw Shane and Lilly. "Too bad I'll mess that up too," she thought glumly to herself.

"Hey Lils. Hey Shane," she said with a little wave.

"Not out with Jake tonight?" Lilly asked casually as she sat on Miley's bed.

"Nope. He has a movie premiere and didn't think Hannah should go under her condition," she replied bitterly. Lilly and Shane laughed.

"At least you know he loves you," Shane pitched in. Lilly and Shane looked at each other then blushed. Miley gave them a look and just nodded.

"We're going to go to bed now. Shane's sleeping over. Good night Miles," Lilly smiled as she gave Miley a hug.

"Feel better," she whispered knowingly. Miley nodded.

"Night y'all. Don't do anything bad now," she teased.

"Who am I kidding? Lilly's a saint."

Lilly's bedroom

After saying good night to Maddie as well, the two went into Lilly's bedroom. Kevin and Denise Gray were out on a business trip with Frankie. So Shane wanted to stay over with Lilly, not like he didn't any other day. Lilly stayed true to her vow, but it got harder the more physical their relationship got. Sometimes at night, he'd take his shirt off because it'd be really hot; Lilly would bite her tongue to try not to scream. He came out of her bathroom in black and white checkered flannal pajama pants and a plain white shirt. She was wearing something similar except they were pink.

"I love falling asleep next to you every night. I love waking up to your face as well," he whispered softly as they cuddled in her bed. They were enjoying a sappy chick flick. Lilly was dabbing away at her tears while Shane laughed and teased her.

"Why do girls like this stuff? There's no action," he whined, his arms wrapped protectively around her.

"Maybe if you actually watch it, you'll like it too," she snapped, her eyes still glued to the screen. He laughed and kissed her cheek.

"Fine, fine," he said reluctantly as he turned to the screen.

Shane's POV

How do you know when you're in love? Easy. When you can't take your eyes off her. When you can't sleep without her. When you can't wake up every morning without seeing her beautiful porcelain face. When you miss her like crazy, even when she's gone for 2 minutes. When you can't go a day without thinking about her.

When I look at Lilly, I know that I'm in love. I know what love is. Thanks to Lilly.
