Hay guys sorry it's been so long since I updated but I have quite a bit more written and almost all the rest of this story planned out. More of a disclaimer at the bottom. Don't wanna put it her in case of spoilers! Slightly longer chapter this time, Thank you all for your wonderful comments :-) Now, are we sitting comfortably? Good. Enjoy
By the time the girls finally arrived at the airport they had started to relax around each other a little more, indulging in some pre-flight shopping and were finishing up their fourth coffee of the day. Although each was trying to keep the tone light and breezy the tension between them was obvious, especially to their parents. They were too guarded, standing a little too far apart, apologetic if their arms or shoulders touched as they flicked through the racks of clothes.
After a while they boarded the flight and took off (Lilly holding on to Miley's hand being a nervous flyer) and began to watch the in flight movie. The tension was thick between them but as the movie wore on and sleep threatened to over power them they no longer felt the need to talk about it or even to each other. They were both lost in the private world of their own thoughts, their minds wandering and trying to process everything that had happened in the past 24 hours, eventually falling asleep as the movie came to a close and as if seeking the other out subconsciously Lilly managed to wrap her arms around Miley's arm and lean her head onto her shoulder, Miley's head leaning against Lilly's in a peaceful slumber.
Miley began to dream.
Miley found herself in her living room. For some reason feeling utterly nervous. "Okay this is weird" she said to herself. It was one of those dreams where you know it's a dream but you go along with it anyway. 'Where is she?' she thought to herself. Looking down and smoothing out her clothes unconsciously she noticed she was in a rather gorgeous evening dress. 'Am I going to prom or something?' She heard a small cough come from behind her. Turning around she saw a beaming Lilly standing on the stair case a few steps from the bottom in a stunning floor length navy blue prom dress with an orchid corsage on her wrist. Miley instantly relaxed. She was here, everything was okay. Lilly, slowly walked towards her, seeming so elegant that she was practically gliding. "You look beautiful' was all Miley could muster, so overcome with emotion at the sight of her she couldn't even really talk. Lilly chuckled at this and pointed a finger at her "Okay don't you dare start crying on me cos you're gonna make me cry and I just spent over half an hour on this make up." They both laughed a little. Miley took hold of both of Lilly's hands and pulled her close. Lilly looked into her eyes with utter adoration and love. Lilly's eyes flicked down to her dress and then over Miley's before looking into her eyes again.
"You always wanted tonight to be special"
Miley smiled. "I'm with you. It's perfect."
Miley gently pulled Lilly closer and kissed her. IT was a kiss unlike anything Miley had ever experienced before. So perfect that it felt like as long as she could keep kissing Lilly she'd never need anything else in her life ever, not food, not water, not even oxygen. As long as she could kiss her everything was right with the world. There was no way to tell how much time had passed but as they broke apart they were elated but almost shy. She could still see that look of pure love in Lilly's eyes. Miley felt something change. The light behind Lilly's eyes started to fade and her smile fell. All her eyes showed now was the beginning of a deep emotional pain. Miley stopped smiling, Lilly took a step back, tears threatening to fall.
"How could you do this to me?!" Lilly seemed so broken.
Miley didn't understand what was going on. She checked herself in the mirror. Instead of her evening gown she had on a pair of skinny jeans, a sparkly golden top and a white leather jacket. A single pink glove on her left hand. Her hair was platinum blonde. She quickly turned around. Lilly had move behind the kitchen island and was leaning forward against it.
"Lilly I....."
"Save it! A minor Hannah emergency right? I deserve better than this Miley." Lilly turned and walked out of the room by the back door, leaving it open behind her. "Lilly!" Miley raced after her but as soon as she was through the door she was .......in the hallway at school, dressed normally…........'Definitely weird.' She could see Lilly putting books in her locker. She looked tired. As Miley walked towards her she noticed every one was staring at her but she kept walking forwards. Some started laughing, some looked angry and some seemed confused.
Someone shouted 'DYKE!' at her and she felt an egg hit the side of her head. Her hand immediately went to where she had been hit, running her hands through her hair feeling the slimy orange mess and seeing it on her hand. All of a sudden the egg disappeared and she started walking towards Lilly again. Lilly took one look at her, closed her locker and turned around slowly walking away down the hall.
"Lilly! Wait Don't leave me!" Miley yelled as people started to crowd the hallway. They all walked towards her when someone punched her in the face. Miley was knocked down but she couldn't feel the blow or a bruise where the punch had landed. She got up and more urgently tried to push her way through the ever increasing crowd to Lilly who seemed to be getting further and further away. People started barging into her shoulder and tripping her up but she didn't feel it. She HAD to get to Lilly before she was gone.
People started to physically hold her back now and she strained with all her might to move forward but couldn't. The noise of the crowd got louder with people screaming hateful remarks at her. She heard one or two whispers of 'leave her alone' and 'it's okay' but they were quickly drowned out. Miley couldn't see Lilly any more and the crowd quickly circled her , the screaming getting louder. " Wait no you don't understand! I NEED her! Lilly! Lilly!" The crowd started moving forward and Miley closed her eyes crouching down protecting her head with her arms. The blows she was fearing never came. After a moment or two she opened her eyes.
Again she was somewhere different. She was crouched outside her front door. Looking up she saw the angry face of her father throwing bags of her things out of the door.
"Daddy what's going on." She started to panic. He took one look at her, his face now completely indifferent and kept on throwing bags out the door.
"Daddy I'm sorry I didn't mean to.........." He turned to face her and looked more angry than she had ever seen him in her life. She took a step back from him and he started yelling and waving his arms around but the words coming out of his mouth didn't seem right He was clearly screaming at the top of his lungs but all she heard was "Miley – Miley sweetie. Wake up darlin'"
"Wake up honey we're landing any minute."
She opened her eyes gradually. "Daddy?" Her father was crouched in front of her gently shaking her shoulder to wake her up.
"Yeah Darlin'. You were out most of the flight. You okay, you seemed a little shaky?"
Miley looked over to Lilly who was still sleeping with her arm wrapped around hers and her head hadn't moved from her shoulder. Miley instantly calmed down on seeing her after the dream. Shaking a little she let out a deep breath.
"Uh yeah I guess. Bad dream. Very bad dream."
Her dad seemed to chuckle a little "Well that can happen if you pound coffee like you two were and then go to sleep. But it's over now and everything's fine." He smiled at her.
A stewardess walked up to them "excuse me sir we're going to be landing in a few minutes, if you could take your seat please."
"Oh of course, sorry." he stood up, "You can wake her up right?" He said as he was walking back to his seat. "Yeah sure" She replied, looking back at the sleeping Lilly. 'All a dream' She let out another breath and leaned her head back against the seat. Lilly really was beautiful in every way that word could be used. Miley felt a sense of pride almost that she had been the first person to get to hold her. Even if it made things awkward from now on it was special, a night she would never forget. Miley took Lilly hand with one of hers and with the other gently brushed some hair behind her ear. Leaning in a little she got close enough to whisper in her ear "Lilly.....Lilly you gotta wake up.... we're landing soon. Time to wake up sleeping beauty........."
Lilly's Dream
"Miley? Miley where are you?" Looking around Lilly found herself in a place she hadn't been in over a year. There wasn't really anything specific to tell her where she was, it was more of a feeling. Looking up the sun was blazing over the green field she was standing in and she was wearing a pair of denim cut off shorts and a white vest top in the extreme heat and had on a cowboy hat that was at least two sizes to big for her. She was in Tennessee. That hat had to be Robbie Ray's. No way he'd let her out of the house in weather like this without one. Just like that she knew where Miley was. She turned around and saw the grand southern mansion of Miley's grandma Ruby's and happily walked round the side of the house to the storage barn. She heard Miley singing before she saw her. She opened the double doors to the barn and walked in to see Miley dutifully washing Her daddy's gorgeous vintage red dodge charger with '01' written on the side in huge black letters.
Miley looked amazing. She had on a little pair of denim hot-pants and her red southern print shirt was tucked upwards showing off her toned mid-rif. Her hair in braids either side of her head she was busy scrubbing dirt off the bonnet with a sponge. She'd gotten pretty wet from the water in the process. Miley looked over to her and smiled "Howdy Lover" she drawled in that intense accent and Lilly almost went weak at the knees. "Watch out for the possum!" Miley yelled and Lilly looked down and jumped out of the way in time to see the small critter rush right past where she was and out the opened doors. Lilly stared after it incredulously but Miley just laughed at her. Lilly looked at Miley was was almost doubled over in hysterics. She smiled at her and chewed on the inside of her cheek a little"Oh you thank that's funny do ya?" She said playfully before walking forward and picking up the hose.
"Oh no!
"Oh yes" Lilly squeezed the trigger and water shot out and covered Miley who started to laugh even more.
"Oh that's it city girl it's on!" Miley grabbed the bucket she'd been using and ran towards Lilly "No!"lilly screamed and ran laughing around the other side of the car. Miley playfully chased after her around the car, both laughing hysterically until Miley finally got close enough to completely drench Lilly with the soapy water. Again Miley was laughing her head off. "Okay fair game you got me" Lilly said holding her arms out in front of her, "Now gimme a hug!" Miley moved to try and run again but Lilly just grabbed her a gave her a bear hug, at which Miley made some joking girlie protests and Lilly lifted her up until she was sat on the bonnet of the car. They kept laughing but their eyes connected and Lilly moved in for a kiss.
The kiss was incredible and Lilly quickly found her top being pulled up to be be removed as Miley moved further up the bonnet and Lilly climbed up after her. Lilly looked into her eyes again and then to the open doors. She quickly ran and shut and bolted them and ran back to Miley, climbing back on to the car and resting herself again on top of Miley kissing her fiercely again.
From this point on it felt like an out of body experience for Lilly. She could see herself making love to Miley on top of the car and she could feel everything that was happening but it was as if it was through a veil, as if she was only allowed to feel part of the experience. What she was seeing was beautiful. The two girls were obviously completely devoted to and besotted with each other but somehow, looking on Lilly knew their happiness wouldn't last and she felt sad. She wanted to protect these two. Wrap them up in cotton wool because what they shared was so pure and the light of their love was so bright it had to be saved.
All too soon the sun set behind the barn and the two girls reached their climax and Lilly lay once more, panting, on top of Miley "I love you. You know that right" she said sincerely, looking into Miley's eyes, practically begging Miley to understand exactly what she felt for her. Miley placed a hand on Lilly cheek, a few tears falling down her cheeks "I love you too. I'm just gonna really really miss you." Lilly kissed her again before reaching for a blanket from the car and cuddling next to Miley. She laid her head on her shoulder and gently ran her fingers through her hair, kissing her forehead lightly.
Lilly was observing again.'Wait miss me? Why. Am I going somewhere?- Time seemed to speed up. Lilly could see the girls on the car still. Talking and cuddling and even sleeping a little but as things slowed down again they both slid down the hood of the car and got dressed again. Almost in silence, facing away from each other, and instead of putting on the shorts and vest top she had been wearing she pulled out a black canvass travelling bag from the trunk and put on a pair of slightly baggy jeans and a black hoodie. Packing the other clothes away in the bag. She turned to Miley who was crying gently now. She pulled her close and kissed her, resting her forehead against hers. "I love you. Never forget that." " I wont. I can't" They both leaned in and gently pressed their lips together one last time. Pulling back they looked into each others eyes. Lilly opened her mouth to say something but Miley gently placed a finger on her lips. "Don't ever say it. Leave it at I love you" Lilly was too emotional to actually say anything at all. She simply nodded and picked up her bag, slinging it over her shoulder.
Back in her body Lilly felt utterly devastated. She looked at the doors and noticed they were both open now. The full moon light streaming through. She saw her mother's outline by the door, dressed in a power suit with a handbag over one arm. "Come along Lillian. Time to go." Lilly took one last look at Miley. Her heart breaking all over again and walked out of the barn.
As lilly stepped through the doors she found herself in her bedroom. She dropped the bag down on the bed and sat down facing the door, where her mother was again standing, only this time she seemed almost normal.
"Everything's as you left it. Dinner's in half an hour." Lilly smiled weakly as her mother walked away. Her room was most certainly not the same. Everything was took clean, too tidy. It didn't even look like someone lived here. There were no trinkets on the desk, or clothes in the basket. Everything was .beige........no colour, no life to anything and it was because there was nothing to remind her of Miley. Without her her life felt like a prison. Her room without anything she could associate with Miley made her want to scream. She put her head in her hands and wept.
"Okay open your eyes" Lilly knew that voice and her eyes shot open at once. Miley! She was there. The room was warm and almost painfully bright after the darkness of her cell like bedroom. She smiled and relaxed. Everything here was colourful and homely, like she truly belonged here from the faire crackling in the grate to her left to the gorgeous 7 foot Christmas tree behind the love of her life, who like her was sitting cross legged in front of her waiting anxiously for her to open her gift. Lilly tore off the wrapping and opened the beautiful silk lined box to see an unbelievably sexy bustier and lingerie. "Wow!" Lilly said holding up the bustier. It was black lace and see through. Victoria's secret -nice. She looked at the tag and then at Miley confused. " It's the wrong size. It's gorgeous but a little big for me." No way would Miley get her measurements wrong, given how closely she had examined them in the past. Miley just glanced at her with a sly sexy smile and took them from her and held them against her own body. "Well they don't fit you cos I'm the one that's gonna be wearing them. Otherwise it'd be a present for me wouldn't it". Lilly's eyes bulged"Oh this is just gonna be the best Christmas ever."Lilly leaned in to kiss Miley. Miley leaned on to her, gently laying her down and started to kiss her neck. Moaning a little 'Lilly....' 'Miley' …...'Lilly you gotta wake up ".... we're landing soon. Time to wake up sleeping beauty........."
Lilly began to open her eyes and looked straight into Miley's "I know you. I walked with you.."
"Once upon a dream?" Miley chucked after finishing her sentence.
"Well it fit with the whole 'Sleeping Beauty' reference." Lilly yawned and sat up straight, her neck sore and stiff from how she'd been sleeping.
"We should be landing any minute. I think your Mom's filled out your landing card."
"Right. Thanks. Man I was having the weirdest dream......"
Miley smiled. "Yeah what was it about?"
"Well for starters I think you were Daisy Duke" Miley laughed. "Anyway I blame the coffee. And you. Best friends don't let best friends drink four cups of coffee before getting on a ridiculously long flight. No matter how hung over they are."
"Deal. I wont let it happen again."
The plane jolted slightly and Lilly squeezed Miley's hand until the plane landed. When they got up to retrieve their bags from the lockers they missed the closeness of the other. Things were still messed up but both felt the dream they had had to mean something, they just weren't sure what yet.
