A/N I know I know, it's been awhile. But I hope this long chapter makes up. It is long right? And don't worry about my other story- still in progress. I've just been a little busy. But I am open to ideas, which may help me write faster on the other stories. Thanks again for the reviews.

Feelings? Way To Complicated...

Miley's POV

"J-Jake, I-I think we should-" I said quietly, trying to break the kiss. Then he cut me off.

"Keep going? Yeah I know, feels nice doesn't it?" he said a bit out of breath, and then smiled at me.

Then he pushed his lips against mine once again and still kept his hands against my back. After a few more seconds of this pleasure, I decided to try and stop once more.

"N-no Jake…well I guess it does feel- I-I mean I think we, we should slow it down a bit." I said quietly and slowly pushed his arms down. I think he got the hint.

"Oh yeah…yeah sorry I guess I just got a little carried away for a minute." Then he pulled his arms away from me, put them in his lap and turned the other way from me- deep in thought. "Sorry"

Uh oh, now he's distancing himself from you. You can't let that happen

Yeah I know I can't, I didn't mean to hurt him

Oh, so now you agree with yourself?

Because he's sad now

Hey, you're the one who pushed him away

You're the one who got me here

Only because you chose to listen. And you've been enjoying every moment of it

I only stopped because he was getting carried away

But you thought it felt nice too and you were even about to tell him. Why didn't you?

Because it was too fast

No it's not, so just tell him. Tell him right now. Hurry!

"I will ok!" I practically yelled.

"What was that?" Jake asked confused.

He turned to me as I said this. I took his hand in mine again, hoping to comfort him. It helped.

"I-It was nothing, sorry. I was just going to say that I liked that too. But yeah, you did get a little carried away."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about-"

Jake started to say, but I gave him a quick kiss to shut him up.

"Don't worry about it, its ok. Just not so much next time." I smiled

"Next time huh?" he asked with a flirty tone. I seemed to have cheered him up. "Could that be right now?"

I was about to answer, but Lilly and Jackson came back inside.

Lilly's bowl was empty. Jackson had his arm around her shoulder, smiling at her, and was walking to the kitchen with her.

"Uh, maybe later, looks like they're back." I said quietly.

"Ok I uh, I gotta go anyway." Jake said, and then he gathered up his book bag and headed for the door. "Rain check?" Jake looked back at me and winked.

"You can count on it." I smiled back at him, and then he left.

Then I looked over at Lilly and Jackson, who had caused Jake to leave.

"What have you two been doing? Jake's gone now because of you." I walked into the kitchen to face them.

"Gosh Miles, excuse us." Lilly said a little taken aback. "I didn't know you wanted him to stay that bad. But you heard him; he said he had to leave anyway."

"No he didn't, he was just saying that because you walked in on us. But what about my first question, what have you two been doing out there anyway?" I eyed them back and forth suspiciously.

"Listen Lilly I uh, I gotta go study, but I'll see you at school." Jackson said to her.

Then he gave her a quick peck and ran upstairs. I just rolled my eyes and sat on the bar stool next to Lilly.

"Miley, come on, if-"

"No, it's still just a little weird that's all."

"Alright sorry, but why did Jackson just leave?"

"Because I just asked you what you guys were doing out there. He's obviously trying to avoid the question. So what about you Lilly, are you going to tell me?"

"Oh that, well I don't know what he ran away for. All we did was talk a little, maybe a kiss or two" she said with a small smile. "And he also ate most of my ice cream." She frowned and put her bowl in the sink.

"Well ok... hey Lilly, what about Oliver?" I added as the thought just popped into my head.

"I don't know, what about Oliver?"

"Well, he doesn't know about you and Jackson yet and I think you should tell him."

"Yeah I know I'll tell him, I just don't know when."

"I really think you should do it soon, because you know how he gets if he's the last one to know."

"Ok, ok I will. Just not-"

"Tomorrow Lilly! If you don't then I will." I said and folded my arms, trying to urge her on.

"Alright fine, I'll tell him at lunch tomorrow."

"Ok good. I just don't want him to find out on is own you know."

"Yes I know I'll make sure that doesn't happen. Well I gotta go; I need to be home before dinner, so I'll see you later." She said and walked to the door. I walked with her. "Wait a minute, what about you and Jake, what were you-"

"Like you said, gotta get home before dinner." I said really quick and smiled. Then I pushed her out the rest of the way and shut the door. It wasn't that big of a deal, so I can just tell her later.

-------------

The next day at school, I was sitting at lunch with just Oliver.

Jake had to miss that day because of a meeting for his TV show.

Lilly was at school, but I knew she was just simply avoiding Oliver.

"Hey Miley, have you seen Lilly?" Oliver asked as he glanced around the tables.

"Well I've seen her in classes, but she may have just gone home for lunch." I didn't think it was true though.

"Yeah ok, I guess I'll find her later then."

"Why did, did you need to talk to her about something particular?" I knew he had been getting suspicious. And now I just made things worse. Now I would have to find Lilly first.

"Well yeah, I was just wondering…well haven't you noticed that she has been spending more time with Jackson lately?" he said

"Oh uh, s-sort of…look I'll just help you find her after lunch." I smiled, trying to change the subject?

"But Miles, they've been like really-"

"It's really no big deal Oliver; they're just f-friends aren't they?"

"Well yeah, but hasn't that been a little close for-"

Just then I saw Lilly begin to walk up the stairs. Oliver's back was facing toward her, so he didn't see her then.

"Oh uh, Oliver I uh…I'll just be back in a minute." I said and ran off to catch up with her. Wow that was close. Another minute and I'm sure I would've told him everything.

Then I ran over to the stairs real quick and caught up with Lilly. She was at the top by the time I was there.

I tapped her on the shoulder and without the intention, I scared her. She flipped around fast.

"Oh my gosh! Miles you scared me." she said a bit out of breath and put a hand on her chest.

"Yeah ok, sorry. But Lilly, where have you been? Lunch is almost over and Oliver has been asking about you."

"W-well, I just got out of a class late." She tried to sound innocent.

I pulled her down with me to sit on a step of the stairs.

"Oh no you didn't, you're avoiding Oliver. Lilly you told me you'd tell him at lunch today. What is up with you today?"

"Ok I'm sorry; I guess I'm just a little nervous that's all."

"Alright, but we only have a few more minutes of lunch left. So if you don't tell him then I will." I didn't want to be too harsh but I didn't want to leave Oliver in the dark.

"Gosh Miles, talk about harsh."

"Ok sorry, but don't you owe him that much? You don't want to leave him in the dark do you? I mean come on; this isn't that big of a deal is it?"

"Well no, I guess not." She decided after a moment of thinking. "Ok I'll go tell him now." She said as she stood up.

"Great thanks; I'm proud of you Lilly." I smiled at her as we walked downstairs.

I noticed Oliver had turned around to see if we were coming. He slightly nodded his head; happy to see that I found Lilly. I nodded a little back. Lilly hadn't noticed.

"Yeah you're right; it isn't that big of a deal." Lilly said

Just then Jackson walked by us. She smiled.

"Hey girl, where have you been?" Jackson said to Lilly.

Then he gave her a kiss for a few seconds.

I was on the other side of them, a few steps up. So I looked over them and at Oliver; he was still turned around and saw exactly what I was hoping he wouldn't. He had found out in one of the worst ways.

His eyes were wide with shock, yet disappointment. Then he got up with his book bag and walked toward us; an angry look on his face.

I just slapped myself in the forehead. I couldn't even imagine what he was going to say now.

Oliver was nearly at the other end of the food court, so I had a minute to separate the two.

"O-o-ok, this is more public then the other day. So you don't want to get caught again!" I said to Lilly and Jackson.

Then I pulled them apart; grabbing each of their shoulders.

"Ok Miles I'm sorry, it was just…oh, oh hey Oliver." Lilly added as I turned her around as soon as Oliver walked right up to us. "Miley and I w-were just coming-"

"What? Coming to sit with me and play innocent, like nothing is going on between you two?" Oliver said and lightly hit Jackson in the shoulder.

"Dude, what's your problem?" Jackson said.

"Mine? How long has this been going on? And why…him?" Oliver asked and lightly shoved Jackson back by the shoulders.

Jackson didn't do anything but face Oliver.

Lilly tried to go in between them; I followed her.

"Oliver stop, I'm sorry ok. I was going to tell you." Lilly said. She still had no idea Oliver had seen their kiss.

"Listen, we were going to just a minute ago ok?" I said. Gosh I have never seen him so mad before. Was he just being protective? I thought Jackson was his friend? Or maybe could he actually be….jealous? Oh no. I hope Lilly can't see that. I sure hope it's not the truth.

"No Lilly, it's ok. You're not the one who has to be sorry." Jackson said.

Then we heard the warning bell for class ring. He glared at Oliver once more. Then he stepped back, took Lilly by the hand and walked her off to class.

The next class I had with just Oliver; that I was grateful for. Maybe now I could find out what the heck just happened.

But before I knew it, Oliver was walking in the opposite direction; heading for our class. He was taking long strides, trying to hurry. Although it wasn't necessary, seeing as how we had five more minutes.

I ran a little to catch up with him. He was almost at the end of the hallway, where our classroom was. When I was just behind his back I called out to him.

"Oliver wait!" I tapped him on the shoulder.

He looked sideways, but kept walking. This made me mad now, so I grabbed his shoulder to stop him. He stopped completely without complaint- just silence. He just looked at the ground. I was standing next to him now.

"Oliver, what is up with you?" I asked a little quietly.

No response. I moved around in front of him. He still stared at the ground.

"Please Oliver, at least look at me. What's going on?" I asked again.

He sighed, and then looked over at the wall next to him and leaned on it, on his shoulder. We were just next to our classroom, so we had a few more minutes to talk.

"Lilly" he said finally, and then looked up at me.

"Lilly? Lilly what?" I asked a little confused, but in a way I knew where this was going and didn't want it to.

"Lilly is what's up with me, she is what is going on ok? I just…I didn't mean to act that way to Jackson, but he...he took her before…" Oliver paused and pursed his lips and decided to finish. "…before I could." He finished quietly.

"W-wait so you…you like Lilly?" I had already thought it was true, but I just had to confirm it.

"Yeah, yeah Miles I do. But it doesn't matter now does it? She found someone and that's it. There's nothing else I can do. There's nothing else I will do. Just let her be happy right?" he said quietly with a sad tone in his voice. Then walked into the classroom and I watched him.

A/N Thanks for the reviews last time. But I'd like to ask for at least six or seven. Then I'll keep writing...
