So don't think you'd ever have a shot
Cause if you had a shot
You'd miss completely

It felt like a million construction workers were chiseling against her brain, each time she swallowed her throat burned and her nose was so clogged up that she had already gone through three tissue boxes and it was only 9 am. Robby Ray walked down into the living room to find his only daughter curled up on the couch, eyes fluttering open and closed. "I don't think you'll be able to do that concert tonight darlin'" Robby Ray sighed, making his way for the kitchen and opening the fridge to look for something to eat. Miley was just about to reject, but decided against it seeing as it would just make her throat feel worse.

"Got any idea what you got sick from?" Robby Ray walked into the living room arching his right eyebrow and taking a sip of his orange juice. Miley just blushed at the thought. She and Nick hadn't gone back to their places until 6 am. They ended up falling asleep at the warehouse and never set their alarm clocks. She just knew she was going to get sick, but she didn't listen to her conscience. "No clue" she whispered. It hurt less, then talking at a normal volume.

"Hmm…" Robby Ray eyed her skeptically, "well I'm just gonna have to call Tommy and tell him that you're sick and you won't be able to go tonight"

Miley cringed at the thought; she wanted to perform so badly. But, her dad was right. It wasn't fair to the fans for her to lip sync; it was a complete rip off. She decided to give in and just nod her head.

Selena walked through the front door, unannounced. "Hey Robbay!" she giggled, gliding over towards the island and taking a seat on the stool. "Hit me up with some pancakes!" she smiled. Robby Ray smiled down on the girl; it was nice having Miley have more girl friends. He got worried when she hung around with the boys too much. Even if he did like Nick, he was still a father. And that's just what fathers do.

There was a cough in the background and Serena turned her head away from Mr. Stewart, "Miley!" she exclaimed, seeing the girl for the first time. "What are you doing on the couch?" Selena knitted her eyebrows together while making her way towards the sick teenager.

"She's ain't feeling to well" Robby Ray sighed, walking into the living room with a plate full of pancakes. "The flu, maybe? She doesn't know where she got it from, but I think I have an itch" he laughed. Selena smiled, "Hmm…Nick isn't feeling to well either. What a coincidence, you two getting sick at the same time, that is" Selena eyed Miley.

Miley just blushed and snuggled deeper into the pillows. "Well, here you go Selena" Robby Ray stated, handing her the plate of pancakes. "I've got a phone call to make to Tommy" he then walked back up the stairs and towards his office.

"Miles, what are you going to do about tonight?" Selena asked, taking a seat on the other end of the couch and stuffing a mouthful of pancakes into her mouth. She just shrugged her shoulders and pulled the covers up higher. Her phone started to buzz. Miley leaned over towards the coffee table and tried to grab it, but Selena beat her to the punch.

From: Nicky

I'm at your front door. Open up :p

Selena smirked at the cell phone and then looked over at Miley. "Alright, I can see when I'm not wanted" she pretended to act hurt. She set the plate of pancakes on the coffee table, causing Miley to scrunch her nose up in disgust; she didn't exactly have an appetite at the moment. She walked towards the door, placing her hand on the door knob and twisting it. On the other side of the door, Nick stood bundled up in a jacket and throw blanket; nose red and eyes barely open.

"Oh Nicholas! What a surprise! You coming over that is … you being sick, not so much" Selena laughed as Nick walked passed her and collapsed onto the couch next to Miley. Selena could hear soft snores start to escape from his lips. Miley gave her a slight wave and small smile. "Nice talking to you?" Selena giggled as she walked out of the house.

"What do you mean you didn't tell her?" Lily exclaimed. She and Joe had gone on their morning jog together and were now grabbing a smoothie at Rico's. However, after all this time Joe had "forgotten" to tell her something rather … important.

"All I could think about was you and what was going to happen between us" Joe smirked. Lily wasn't falling for that look; no matter how cute he looked at the moment. "Joe, AJ is still your girlfriend! You're basically cheating on her … and I'm not gonna be" Lily paused, slightly cringing, "the other girl"

Joe let out a quiet chuckle, "Lily, you're not the other girl" he rolled his eyes, "you're the girl"

"Then what are you still doing with AJ?" she sighed, bringing the straw to her parted lips and taking a long sip of the honey-cinnamon smoothie. Her new favorite.

"It's complicated" he ran his hand through his hair. Lily mentally rolled her eyes, what wasn't complicated these days?

"Hey Tommy!" Robby Ray smiled into the cell phone.

"Robby Ray! What a smashing surprise!" Tommy answered, his voice a little fuzzy, "Sorry love, I'm going through a tunnel. Now, what can I go for ya on this delightful day?"

Now Tommy had always been an easy going guy. He was born in England and moved to America at the age of 15. Now at the ago of 27 he owned a record company and produced artists such as the Jonas Brothers, Ashley Tisdale, Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift, Chris Brown and Jesse McCartney. But, when things didn't go his way. Well, let's just say it wasn't always a "smashing" situation.

"Well, Tommy. You know Hannah is very dedicated to her work and loves all her fans and …"

"I'm a very busy man Robby Ray ... " Tommy cut in.

"Hannah's sick" Robby Ray spit out. There was silence on the other end of the phone. "So she'll lip sync" Tommy sighed on the other line.

"You know she doesn't do that Tommy" Robby Ray reasoned. "Mr. Montana you know that this night is truly important. Tons of 'Hannah' fans will be devastated. Now love, we can make a deal. Hannah performs tonight and we give her a full week off soon"

Robby Ray sighed, "Isn't there anyone else that could fill in tonight? Just for tonight!" he pleaded.

He could hear Tommy sigh on the other end, "I guess there is, no … no … she's too new. Too fresh"

"Who?" Robby Ray's ears perked up.

"Well, there is that Demi gal"

"My head aches" Miley moaned.

"Why are those lights so freakin bright?" Nick complained, shielding his eyes from the light bulb above.

"Ugh, can you move those pancakes? They're really starting to make me sick" Miley rubbed her stomach.

"Why is it so cold in here? It's supposed to be warm out!" Nick moaned.

There was a few seconds of silence before Miley ended it, "Wanna watch some TV?" she asked.

Nick scooted closer towards her on the couch and nodded. "What else do we have to do?"

"COMPLAIN!?" Jackson asked from the kitchen where he was scarfing down on some chocolate ice cream.
