Boo yea! I'm doing it again, updating the very next day!
Comfort
"Mom, I'm home!" Lilly called out as she entered her house. She was greeted with silence, which was unusual. Normally her mom would come and greet her straight away and ask how her day went. But today, nothing.
"Mom? You here?" Lilly asked and walked into the kitchen. Her mom sat at the kitchen table, crying. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Oh honey." She said, hugging Lilly. "I'm so sorry."
"About what?" Lilly asked, confused now.
"Y-Your father."
"What about Dad? Has something happened?" Lilly asked, getting scared now. Her mom shook her head. "Then what is it?"
"H-He wants a-a divorce!" Her mother said, trying to speak without crying. Lilly felt all the colour in her face drain.
"No, no. You're joking, right mom? You're joking with me, dad isn't really leaving us." Lilly said, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I wish I were." Heather said and got off the seat and hugged Lilly. "I guess it's just going to be the two of us now."
"Uh, yeah." Lilly said. She didn't hug her mother back, she was just so shocked. Her dad wasn't going to be there anymore, he wasn't going to be there for her anymore. Unless they went to court and he got custody of her…
"What's going to happen with me? Will I live with you or Dad?" Lilly asked. She had to know how her future was going to be affected by this.
"Oh Lilly, you'll live with me. Your father is moving to New York once the divorce is finalized." Heather said. "Are you ok? You seem to be taking this pretty well."
"Yeah, whatever." Lilly said and turned around and headed back towards the door. "I'm going to Miley's house!"

Jackson jumped onto the couch and smiled to himself. He had the whole house to himself, no Miley or his dad to change the channel or to talk over his TV program.
"Right, so what to watch today? Wrestling? Nah. Hannah Montana's latest music video? Have to live with her, so no. A soap opera? Nothing else on, so it'll do." Jackson said and threw the remote down in the empty seat next to him.
"Miley! You in there!" The front door was banging and Jackson heard Lilly shouting for her friend. He got a fright and fell of the chair, but quickly picked up the remote and switched the TV off. He walked over to the front door and opened it to find a crying Lilly who had her fist raised to knock again.
"Lilly, have you been crying?" Jackson asked as she walked inside.
"No." She said in a small voice and kept her back to him. "Is Miley here?"
"Sorry, missed her." Jackson said and walked over to the couch and sat back down, but looked at Lilly. "You have been crying, your face is all red and blotchy."
"Gee, thanks a lot." Lilly said and then sat down next to Jackson. "Can I wait here for Miley?"
"Sure, if you want to wait for five hours." Jackson said.
"Five hours?" Lilly wailed, eyes getting big. She put her face in her hands and started crying again. This surprised Jackson and he shifted in his seat, what was he supposed to do now?
"Lilly, is there something you want to talk about?" He asked. Lilly shook her head. "Alright."
"My dad is leaving my mom." She said as she dropped her hands and looked up to look at Jackson. "He's divorcing her and moving to New York."
"I'm… sorry." Jackson said. Lilly nodded and then let more tears fall down her face. Jackson moved closer to her and then put an arm around her to give her a hug.
"Hey, at least he will be a plane flight away from you. It's not as if he's dead." Jackson said to her.
"Oh, now I feel stupid. I'm crying over my Dad moving while your mom is dead. How selfish am I?" She asked. Jackson moved her face so she was looking him in the eyes.
"You're not at all selfish, this is how you react when someone you care about moves away from you." He said and then wiped the tears away. "But you've got awesome friends here that care for you and will never leave you."
"Promise?" Lilly asked, smiling. Jackson nodded and kissed her forehead. Lilly then rested her head on Jackson's chest and sighed. Now she knew who to go to for comfort.
Not the kiss you were hoping for? Well, sometimes the kiss will be different, same with the situation. But I was just watching Lilly's Mom Has Got It Going On over on YouTube and I was wondering how Lilly reacted with the divorce and everything, so I thought of this, Lilly going to Miley for comfort. But then I modified it to turn into a cute short Lackson moment between the two.
