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!
"Hannah and I are complicated," he said, trying to explain in the best words that he knows how. "We were young and we wanted completely different things." She tried to butt in and tell him that she hadn't wanted different things, but she was once again interrupted by Nick. "She and I sort of grew apart. I still love her. It's just she wanted our relationship in the spotlight and I didn't. She just didn't understand that I wanted to keep my business life and my love life apart from each other. It was a way to protect the both of us from the paparazzi, but she didn't understand why I wanted to do it."
Miley really wanted to say that that story wasn't true, but she couldn't. "I'm sorry if this is depressing you. I just wanted to let you know that I love you, Miley Stewart. I'm glad that I got to meet you," he said. She still didn't know what to say. 'He thought I wanted to use our relationship for a spotlight topic? He was blaming me? He still loves Hannah and me?! He doesn't think I want to keep my personal life and my business life apart?' she asked herself. She was slowly starting to get angry. 'Who does this boy think he is – telling me about how he still loves my alter-ego and that I was the one to be blamed for the relationship gone sour? Well, excuuuuse me!' she thought to herself. She slowly stood up. Nick looked up at her and tilted his head to the side. He got up but she had already excused herself to go home.
She couldn't tell him the truth now – he hated her. She felt the tears falling down her face and once she heard the footsteps of someone familiar. She made a break for it and ran all the way back to her house. She reached it before her follower did. She slammed the door and slid to the floor. Her tears slowly came running down her face.
Lilly had heard the door slam shut and raced downstairs to find her sister in a heap on the floor crying her eyes out. Miley looked up from her position and noticed that Lilly's ears were really red. She only did that when something major happened and she tried lying her way out of it, but knowing her – she couldn't lie to anyone. But, Miley didn't pay any attention. She figured that her parents had probably caught Lilly and Joe making out again. She did look up to see Joe and Kevin walking down the stairs kind of dazed. She didn't think anything of it though. Joe looked like that most of the time that she talked to him and Kevin was trying to distance himself because he thought his little brothers were acting too mushy with their girlfriends – there was only so much that a guy can take sometimes.
Lilly tried to calm her down and led her to the couch. She threw a glance at the boys and they shrugged their shoulders. All of a sudden, Kevin felt his phone vibrating. He thought it was going to be Heather because they hadn't had their long talk of the day yet and he really wanted to talk to her right now. But, to his dismay, it was Nick calling him. He sighed and answered the phone. "Hey, man," Kevin said into the phone. "I thought you were Heather. What's up?"
"Can you come and get me?" Nick answered. Kevin noticed that he didn't sound too good either. He glanced at the brunette, who finally fell asleep on the couch from the exhaustion of crying. Joe looked at him and mouthed, 'What's going on?' but Kevin just shook his head. "Where are you?" he asked Nick.
"I'm at the pier by Rico's. Did you see Miley?" he asked so quietly that Kevin had to strain to hear what he was asking.
"Yeah, she just fell asleep. What happened?"
"I told her and she went into shock. She asked me about Hannah! I freaked out! I didn't want to tell my new girlfriend about my ex. Hannah should have stayed in the past where she was," he said a little bit too bitterly. Then, he felt guilty. Hannah used to be his best friend aside from his brothers. They used to tell each other everything. They were each other's first kiss and boyfriend and girlfriend. He just didn't want their relationship out in the open because he knew how ruthless the media would be, but she kept on insisting until he had too much and blew up at her.
What he didn't know was that Kevin and Joe both knew the truth. Kevin and Joe went looking for Lilly earlier – well, at least, Joe was. He stumbled into a room with a huge closet. He thought it was Lilly's room. He had never been in her room before. They always had to stay out in the living room because Robby Ray was keeping a watchful eye on the boys with his daughters. But, anyways, Joe had stumbled upon the closet. His eyes widened as he took in the sights of the many different types of tops, skirts, pants, and shoes. He looked to his right and saw some more clothes – but, this time, they looked more down-to-earth and not as wild looking as what the other room had held.
He heard a gasp come from behind him and he turned around. Kevin had walked in a few minutes after Joe did and was amazed at what he had seen. "Wow. I didn't Lilly had this much clothes," Kevin whispered to his little brother. Joe felt himself nod and whirled his head around again. He marveled at the sight until he heard a smaller gasp coming from the doorway. "Kevin," he said pointedly, "I heard you the first time. You don't have to do that again."

"That wasn't me," Kevin replied as the two brothers' head snapped up to look at each other and then slowly stared at the door to the entrance of the closet. Kevin heard the clearing of a throat and threw a look at Joe. "It's not me," Joe said shrugging a little bit, still kind of in daze from the room. "No, it was me," said a voice from the closet door. The two men whipped their heads so fast that one could swear that they got whiplashes. They saw a blond hair woman standing with her hands on her hips, at the entrance of the closet. "What are you two doing in here?" she asked angrily.
"Lils," Joe said smiling. He walked up to her to give her a hug but she took a step back. She could see that Joe's brightened face had fallen a little bit. 'Good,' she thought to herself, 'he deserves it. Kevin too. What the heck are they even doing here?' "I asked you guys a question," she said again.
Kevin knew that he and his little brother would be in trouble and he didn't want that to happen, so he tried to come up with a plan or at least something that could be able to get them out of this jam. "Well, you see, we were looking for you and we tried to enter your room and we opened this door instead," he said, while silently patted his back. 'That's a good idea,' he thought to himself. 'That's true and I didn't have to tell her the whole details.'
"Yeah, right," she said scoffing a little bit. "I know you two. I'm asking you guys again, what in the world are you doing in here?"
Joe took a step closer to her and she stepped another step back. "Joseph Adam Jonas, tell me! I'm not going anywhere near you until you tell me what the heck are you two doing in here?" she said. He sighed and told her that they were really looking for her and they did happen to have stumbled upon this room. She looked over at Kevin and she felt guilty. "I'm sorry," she said as she went over to the oldest brother and gave him a hug. Joe looked at his brother enviously. His brother got a hug from his fiancée and not him. What was wrong with that picture?
Kevin looked at his brother with surprise. "Lils?" he asked the petite blond in his arms. "I'm sorry that I didn't believe you, Kev," she whispered as she hugged him closer and then got out of his arms and went to Joe. "I'm sorry, baby, that I didn't believe you either." Joe pulled her closer into the hug. He looked up at his brother and saw that Kevin had a confused look on his face too.
"Lils?" Kevin asked from his side of the room. "What is this place? Why do the clothes in here seem so familiar?" He scratched his head as he looked around again. He tried to place where he had seen the clothes before but he couldn't make it out. At least, that was until his eyes fell upon a small blue hat that said 'Jo Bros heart' on it, sitting in the corner of the closet. That hat was always Nick's favorite. He had lent it to Hannah Montana one time during a rain and after it dried, and when she gave it back to him, it became his favorite hat in the world. He was still in love with her at the time. Kevin shook his head from the memory and tried to figure out how the girls were able to get a hold of the hat. "That hat," he said after a while. He didn't even know that he had said it out loud. He thought he only said it in his head, but for once, he was wrong. Joe looked to where his brother was looking and saw the same blue hat. 'That hat was once of a kind,' Joe thought. 'The last time I saw that hat was….was…on Hannah's head. What is it doing in Lilly's room?"
"Lils, baby, where did you get that hat?" Joe asked her. He wanted to know. He had a feeling he didn't like where the answer might be going. He didn't want to find out that his girl used to date his little brother. He didn't want to find out that the girl of his dreams was actually Hannah Montana. Lilly didn't know what to say. She knew that the brothers were smarter than that. She knew that once they looked at that hat, they would realize what was going on here. She just wished that Miley was here with her instead of being off with Nick. 'Lilly, you can't be mad at her. She's telling him the truth right now,' Lilly thought to herself. "Well, that hat isn't mine. I'm borrowing it from a friend," she said, happy to think that for the first time, she was able to lie.
"Friend?" Kevin asked. He knew that his brother was able to figure out exactly what he was thinking. 'Maybe Lilly was Hannah Montana,' he thought. 'But, that wouldn't be right. She couldn't have dated Nick. Although, she and Miley had been acting a little bit weird lately.'
"Yes, a friend," Lilly said slowly. She let out a small breath out. She didn't want the boys to hear that she was nervous for lying to them.
Kevin didn't believe her at all. Don't get him wrong, he loves her like a little sister, but she was keeping something from him and his family and he demanded to know what was going on here. "Lillian!" he said sternly. Lilly closed her eyes and took a deep breathe. "Fine," she said a little bit crossly. "But you have to promise not to say anything at all to anyone. My friend doesn't want anyone to know and if you two know, she's probably going to hate me…"
"Babe, no one can hate you," Joe tried to calm her down. He didn't want the love of his life to have a panic attack. Kevin threw an arm around her shoulder and kind of smirked when he saw his little brother's eyes widen at the sight of his arm around Lilly. He walked her to the bed on the other side of the closet and sat down patiently waiting for the blond to continue her story. He pointed to the other side of Lilly on the bed for Joe to sit on.
"I was sworn not to tell you anything at all," she explained. "But, this secret is killing me inside. I don't ever want to lie to Joe but I had promised someone close to me that I would keep this a secret. Who in a million years would have believed that you guys would come and find this room?" Joe tried to cut in but she continued on. "No, I can't tell you," she changed her mind. "I promised my friend and you know how I am when I promise someone something."
"Lils," Joe pleaded with his cute puppy dogged eyes. He knew that Lilly couldn't say 'no' to that face just like he knew that she knew that he couldn't say 'no' to that face when she did it. Lilly tried to stand her ground. She shook her head and looked over at the door wishing someone would walk by or something and stop this from happening. "Lils," Kevin tried this time. "We understand that you had promised something but this is huge. I'm sure your friend would understand why you would be doing this."
She continued to shake her head and closed her eyes. "Lils, please," Joe begged. He never had to beg for something before and he sort of felt that this hurt his pride but he was curious to find out what was going on. Why is there a room filled with Hannah Montana's clothes? Joe wished with all his might that his love wasn't Hannah Montana. He didn't want to hurt Nick anymore than how Nick was hurt before. He just didn't want to believe that Lilly, his Lilly, was going to prove that she was his little brother's girlfriend. The boys had made a pact to never date the other's exes. This was beginning to give Joe a headache. "Everything in that closet doesn't belong to me," Lilly whispered so softly that both men had to lean in closer to hear her.
"Then who…," trailed off Kevin. He was beginning to figure it out. If the clothes in the closet didn't belong to her then it has to belong to… "No frickin' way," he stated out loud. Joe looked at his older brother with a curious expression. Kevin connected eyes with him and he felt his eyes widen even more than before. "You don't mean…" Joe said, really not wanting to believe it either. 'Could she be?' he asked himself. 'But that means that Nick was out with his ex right now…'
"This isn't my room," Lilly said. "Please, don't tell her I told you this. I know that you guys figured it out."
"But if she is Hannah than that makes you…" Kevin started to say but Joe jumped in, "You're LOLA?! Lilly sadly nodded. She didn't have to look into Joe's eyes to know that he was disappointed in her. She could tell by his tone. The two had promised not to keep secrets from each other and she had broken that promise with a huge secret. Joe shook his head and ran out of the door. "Joe!" Lilly screamed and ran after her love. Kevin was left sitting on the bed trying to figure out what was going to happen now and how he was going to be able to tell Nick about the new revelation.
A/N: Hey, all! Thanks for still reading and reviewing. I can't tell you how much that means to me. For any of you that liked my story about Caitlyn and Nate from Camp Rock – I am sad to say that it had been reported and been taken off . I was planning on updating earlier in the week but when I got that email that "Naitlyn Songfics: Country Style" was deleted that just ruined it all. So, hopefully, no one will report this story and get it deleted too. : (
