Disclaimer: I don't Hannah Montana or the Jonas Brothers! I do however own this plot and such characters as Josh and Ryan. I don't own Kevin's GF and Jackson's GF.

A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. I'm really sorry about the late updates. Too many things going on with life in general. Happy readings!

They closed the door as soon as the car backed out of the driveway. "So, what was that about?" Lilly asked Miley as soon as they entered Miley's room. They were going to have a girl's night just the two of them. Evette and Kadie had gone home before the Jonas left to go home. "I don't know what you are talking about, Lil's?" Miley tried to say. She couldn't lie for the best of her and Lilly knew that. "Miles," Lilly said in her no-nonsense voice. Miley sighed and walked to the kitchen. She was going to busy herself with helping clearing the counters and putting away the leftover food. Lilly stood by the doorway and saw that her sister wasn't going to answer her question, so she tried again. "Miley Rae Stewart!" she said in a louder voice. Miley jumped in shock and looked at the blond again. She tried to ignore the questioning tone of her voice and continued on with her clearing and cleaning.

Lilly rolled her eyes and went to grab Miley's wrists. She held them in place by Miley's side. "What was with the giggling and whispering with the one and only Nicholas Jerry Jonas?" she asked. Miley sighed and said, "We were just talking about dating again." Lilly raised an eyebrow at 'again' and Miley rolled her eyes, this time. "No, I didn't tell him that I am Hannah Montana. I just said 'again' because – well, you know why." Lilly nodded her head. Miley was going to smile, thinking that her best friend was going to stop with the questioning, but she should have known that that wouldn't stop Lilly Josephine Truscott at all. "So, it looks like we're back to the topic at hand – the thing we were talking about early this evening before the guys were here," she said.

"Lils, I don't know okay. I mean, I want to tell him, but he's going to hate me," Miley said unsurely. "He broke up with Hannah because he couldn't handle the public knowing about our relationship. If he knew about the truth now, he might go ballistic."

"Miles, he will go ballistic either way," Lilly supplied. "You know how he hates lying. Even Joe and Kevin hate it."

"Thanks, Lils. Now, instead of feeling guilty about one reason, I have to worry about three reasons."

"Well, since they're brothers, you can count that as one reason," Lilly suggested and laughed when Miley threw her a glare. "Come on, Miles, you know that if the truth comes out now, it will get better in time. Besides, wouldn't you want the news to come from you and not from some media source?"

Miley knew that Lilly was right. She told Lilly that she would tell Nick soon. As soon as she finished getting ready for bed, she called Nick up. "Hello?" he answered.

"Hi, Nick," she replied. "It's Miley."

"Hey, Miles. What's up?"

"Do you think that we can meet up tomorrow? I have something important to tell you."

"Oh okay. Yeah, sure. I have something to tell you too."

"Okay. How about at Rico's at two?"

"Sounds great, Miley. I have to go. Frankie's giving me the evil eye because I promised to help him with his homework. Night," he said and hung up the phone. He didn't even wait to hear Miley's 'goodbye.' She brushed it off because she knew that he didn't mean to do it on purpose. She knew how Frankie gets when he doesn't finish his homework. She also knows how his mom would get when Frankie doesn't finish his homework. Education came first in that family.

She settled further in bed trying to figure out the ways on how to tell Nick. She tried many different scenarios in her mind but nothing right would come up. They all went terribly wrong in her head. Her scenarios kept ending with Nick yelling at her and leaving her at Rico's crying her eyes out. She shuddered to think that would really happen. She tried to calm herself down and finally fell asleep around three in the morning.

The next morning, she woke up around one o'clock and realized that she was going to be late to meet Nick and she still had to shower. It looks like she had to cut down on her shower time from forty-five minutes to about fifteen. She still had to put her make-up on and everything. She finished with ten minutes to spare. 'Crap!' she thought to herself. 'It takes about ten minutes to Rico's and that's if I ran. But, if I run, then my make-up will look bad. I don't want Nick to see me like that.'

I raced downstairs and saw my parents sitting around the living room watching soap operas. "I didn't know that they were on weekends too," she said as she tried to run pass them. Robby Ray looked at her like she had gone mad. "Where ya going, sweetheart?" he said in his Tennessee accent. "I'm going to meet Nick at Rico's!" she yelled as she raced through the door. She slammed in Joe and Kevin as they were walking into the house. "Whoa, slow down, Miles," Kevin said laughing. He had taken the full impact of Miley running into him. "I've got to meet Nick! See ya!" she yelled in a huff and ran pass the two brothers. She didn't stop until she reached Nick and, by then, she was huffing and puffing. She sucked in a lot of air in a short amount of time.

Nick stood up and walked over to where she was standing, trying to catch her breath. "You okay, Miles?" he asked, placing a warm hand on her shoulder. She looked into his concerned eyes and felt like her heart sped up even faster than it already was. "I'm okay," she replied, slowly calming her breathing down. "Just thought I was late," she said, sucking in another gulp of air. Nick laughed and put an arm around her shoulders.

As they sat down and stared at the ocean for a while, Nick kept running his hand through his hair. Miley knew that he only did this when he was trying not to be nervous. She didn't know what he was so nervous about – she was the one that was going to tell him the truth. How he is still together with his ex-girlfriend. She pumped herself up. She took in a deep breath and exhaled softly. She could do this. She could tell the one other boy that she loved the truth. 'Don't chicken out, Miley,' she psyched herself up. 'Okay, Miles. Just turn towards the boy and tell him the truth.'

"Nick…" she started to say but was cut off by his outburst. "I love you!" he sort of yelled out in a rush. She couldn't believe her ears. 'What the heck did he just say?' she thought to herself.

"Miley?" Nick asked uncertainly. She had been sitting there for almost a full five minutes. She wasn't responding to any of his actions. He tried waving a hand in front of her face but she kept that 'staring into space' look. He didn't want to shake her because he had a feeling that she might smack him. He had learned his lesson from before. You see, Nick had walked into his kitchen one day and saw Lilly staring off into space. 'She's probably dreaming of Joe,' he thought to himself as he walked closer to her. She wasn't responding to any of his actions either. He decided to have some fun and shake her lightly. He should have known it was a bad idea. The next thing he knew was, he was smack right in the face by Lilly's hand and that really stung. She, off course, apologized but she did tell him that served him right because he started shaking her like a snow globe.

His face still hurts whenever he thought back on that day. He shook his head to clear away the thoughts and focused his attention back on Miley. He noticed that she was slowly coming back down from her space trip. "Welcome back, Miley," he said, chuckling nervously. He thought she didn't like what he had to tell her.

She wanted to tell him that she loved him too but, of course, she had to stick her foot in her mouth. "What about Hannah Montana?" she winced as she heard herself asking. She knew that it was a mistake as soon as the words left her mouth. She glanced up and noticed that Nick looked more somber some. The hand in his hair was now rubbing the back of his neck.

A/N: I hope you guys like this one. Sorry again for the late update. I'm kind of behind on my readings for class and too many midterms to worry about. Thanks again for being loyal readers. :)
