"I pickā¦Jackson, since you taped it on the big camera."
"But that was Lilly's idea."
"JACKSON!"
"Well, you still did it, even though I thought we were best friends."
"WE ARE!"
"I know, I'm just messing with you. But still, truth or dare?"
"After what you did- truth."
"Chicken. But fine. I got one." He smiled really mysteriously at Jackson and glanced at Lilly. "Who do you like?"
"N-n-nobody."
"Let's not forget that I know the answer to this, Jackson. I know if you're lying, so either spill or take the alternate dare."
Jackson's POV
Great, just great. What did I get myself into? Now, I can either tell Miley and Lilly that I like Lilly and get laughed at for the rest of my life and totally rejected, or I can go streak the entire neighborhood. Most of you would probably think that the choice is easy- who would ever go around naked through the whole town- but the relationship (which is basically nothing) between Lilly and me is delicate, and Cooper should know that.
Oh boy. What do I do?
Lilly's POV
Great. Jackson probably likes another one of his teachers or something, and I am going to get shut down again. But, Cooper did look at me when he asked Jackson. And, Jackson is taking a pretty long time to pick, which could mean that he doesn't know if I like him back. Oh, stop it Lilly. We both know that is just wishful thinking.
Miley's POV
I can't believe Jackson is even considering streaking the neighborhood before telling us who he likes. It can't be that bad, unless it's a guy. OMG!
"Okay, I guess I will go streak."
"SERIOUSLY?!" Everybody shouted.
"I can't decide!!!"
"Well make up your mind, bro, I'd like to have you choose before dad gets home and stops us." As if on cue, the front door opened.
"Hey kids, what's going on?" My dad asked.
"Nothing much, just playing a game, dad. Is it already midnight?" I asked, not believing that Jackson and I had survived being in the same room that long.
"No, but I got a call and apparently I have to go to Florida overnight for some, uh business." By business, he means Hannah stuff, but Cooper still doesn't know that she is my alter ego.
"Oh, really."
"Yes, but I will let you continue your sleepover if you can promise me that you won't invite anyone else and you will be responsible."
"Of course, dad. Thanks." I said as he walked upstairs, got a bag that somehow he must've already packed, and went out the door after kissing me and Jackson goodbye and waving to the other two.
"Well that's interesting. I am surprised that dad would actually trust us."
"I know, but I guess he feels bad about the time he left us with Roxy and we nearly died of exhaustions and bad food."
"Who's Roxy?"
"Uhh, our Aunt, yeah, our aunt."
"Oh, so Jackson, what's it going to be?"
"Aww, man I thought you would forget. Fine. I guess I can tell you, but you have to promise that you won't laugh at me or think that I am some kind of pervert. Promise?"
"We promise, Jackson." Lilly and I said in a monotone unison.
"Okay, the truth is thatIlikeLilly."
"What?"
"See, I knew you'd make fun of me."
We were saying what because we couldn't understand you, donut." I replied.
"Oh, I said I like Lilly."
"OMG! Lilly, this Lilly, my best friend Lilly?"
"ME?!"
Jackson nodded lightly, and Lilly grabbed his arm, taking him out to the patio. I took one look at Cooper and we ran to the window, where we were able to hear and see everything they were going to say.
"You really like me, Jackson?"
"Yeah. I wasn't allowed to lie, remember?"
"You would've lied?"
"Well I didn't know if you liked me. And as a matter of fact, I still don't know."
"OH, right, well." She took his hand and placed it on her lap, aww.
"The truth is," She started, looking up into his eyes, "I've had a little crush on you for about three months."
THREE MONTHS! SHE TOLD ME TODAY!
"I've liked you for about six."
"SIX! He just told me today." Cooper whisper-yelled to me.
"Yeah, so did Lilly to me." I replied.
"Wow. I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid you only thought of me as you're little sister's best friend."
"I thought you only liked me as your best friend's older brother."
"So, now what?"
"Now we make it official." He got down on one knee. "Lilly," He started, taking her hand. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"YES!" She shouted, jumping up and taking him with her into the air, hugging him. SO weird. They took each other's hand and walked back inside. What? No kiss? Well, at least I get to keep my lunch down. Cooper and I ran back to the "circle" and started talking about Spiderman 3.
"So, I guess you two are dating, huh?" I asked.
"Yup." Lilly replied, simply, as they both sat back in the circle.
"And now it's my turn," Jackson said.
"Lilly, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to kiss me."
She bit her lip, but walked on her knees to the center of the circle, while Jackson did the same, put her hands on his cheeks, as he grabbed her waist and kissed him hard. They were still absorbed in the single kiss after a minute, so I took one look at Cooper and we both shouted, "GET A ROOM!"
"Okay." They replied, grabbed each other's hand, and ran upstairs.
"WHAT? NO! Come back, we were just kidding!!"
"So were we, calm down Miley. Do you really think we'd be that irresponsible?" Lilly responded.
"No, I just you and him and a room, and uhh!" I replied.
