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! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! : )

"Hey Miles," he answered her. He stood there staring with her.

"I can't talk to you right now," she said standing up but he grabbed a hold of her hand. "Please, Miley," he pleaded. He needed to talk to her to keep him sane. She made the mistake of looking into his eyes and nodded her head. They walked out onto the patio. She leaned against the railing and he did the same. "You wanted to talk," she said. "So, talk."

He sighed and took in a deep breathe. "Lilly is my best friend and I…just…she was trying to help me out earlier with the situation with us and I sort of yelled at her because she was hiding something from me…"

"And you feel bad?" Miley asked, feeling a little bit of the bitterness coming out of her voice. "You should, if you yelled at her."

"I do feel bad," he answered. "I don't want my last words to her to be bad and horrible. I just didn't want to believe what she was saying to me."

"Why did call me, Nick?" Miley asked after a few more moments of silence.

"I just wanted to talk to you and hear your voice," he answered.

"We're not together. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend or anything remotely like that," she said.

"I want to be with you," Nick said, finally gathering up the courage to say it. "I love you with all of my heart. I just wanted to know if you felt the same because that's what I thought you were feeling the same."

"Nick, you don't even know…" she said and walked off. She didn't want to hear anything that he had to say. 'I know that I – as Hannah - and he had talked but it's easier for her to forgive him. She no longer exists. Now, I'm just Miley,' she thought to herself. 'And, Miley isn't so forgiving towards him.'

Nick tried to walk after her but Joe and Kevin came out onto the patio deck. They walked over to their little brother. "We have good news," Joe said smiling.

Meanwhile:

Lilly was being dragged off to who-knows-where. She couldn't believe it. She was trying to help him and this is where it got her. She was sitting in a room with her hands tied. There was only a little bit of light coming from the slits of the covered window. She tried to figure out a way to call home or at least escape when she heard the footsteps coming down the stairs. She heard the clomp-clomp of the heavy footed man but she couldn't make out the face because of the dark. "Hello, sweet thang," the voice said as Lilly shuddered to think about what he was going to do to her. He walked closer and ran a hand down her face and towards her chest area. She tried to twist and turn so that he couldn't touch her but he smacked his hand across her face and her head whipped to the side really quickly. "Jay!" yelled a voice from the doorway. The two men that were in the room with Lilly at the moment looked startled and raised their eyes toward the man at the door. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked. "You don't follow directions do you?!" the shadow from the doorway yelled at the burly guy.

Lilly felt her heart beating faster when she recognized that voice. She didn't think it was possible. He was too nice to do this, but his mother was the one that put her in the hospital the first time and was then charged and ended up in jail. 'Oh, crap, what if this is for revenge on me for his mom being in jail?' Lilly asked herself as she tried to get free without the guys noticing but she couldn't do it. She only managed to move the rope so that it was cutting into her wrists. 'These guys sure could tie a rope. Where did they learn to do this? Did they learn it in boys scouts?' she asked herself but turned her attention when she heard the guy from the doorway moving towards her. She shut her eyes. "Lilly-pad, come on, open those pretty eyes of yours," he said sweetly before he yanked her head back.

She whimpered as her head snapped back. "That's a good girl," he said as he kissed her ear. She shut her eyes and willed herself not to gag because she didn't know what he was planning to do with her. He leaned down and continued to whisper in her ears, "You're still so beautiful. I'm glad that we're going to be together forever." He kissed her on her lips and tried to get his tongue in her mouth. She bit his tongue and he slapped her across the face. 'That's really going to bruise in the morning,' she said to herself. She wished that Joe was able to come and find her soon. She didn't know what else to do.

Meanwhile back at the Stewart Mansion

Miley was pacing around in the house, when the doorbell rang. She opened the door to see a well dressed looking man standing at the door. "Hello," she said confusedly. He chuckled and introduced himself as Zach Callaway. "I'm Kadie's father?" he suggested and that totally clicked in Miley's head. "Please, come in. I'm sorry about that," she said.

He lightly placed a hand on her arm. "I understand. I've been around many families in your position to know. Where are your parents?" he asked. She started to point towards the living room but decided to take him there instead.

"Daddy!" Kadie said as she jumped up from her seat next to Ryan. She ran and gave him a hug. "Did you hear something?" she asked him. He smiled and looked at the friends and family that were all sitting in the room. "We have a lead," he told them. "Our lead suspect right now is Joshua Matthews Skylar. We have his license plate and we're running it through the system right now. His mother is out on bail, by the way. I have a feeling from the stares that are being thrown at me, you didn't know that." Every single person in that house shook their heads. Miley's eyes widen even more, "Do you think it's his mom that is really behind all of this?" she asked. Zach Callaway shook his head.

"We fully believe it is Josh because, of right now, his mother is in custody. Well, according to the police department in Malibu – which I trust their information considering that my brother-in-law is the chief there – Mrs. Elena Skylar was taken into custody two days ago. She was pulled over for driving under the influence and concealing a weapon without a permit," he explained.

"But, Dad, so, do you think that Skylar is doing this for revenge?" asked Kadie. He nodded his head. "Ryan told me a little bit of the background last night. I do believe that all clues are pointing to him at the moment. We are issuing an arrest for him but we just need to know where he is hiding out at. He wasn't at home and he didn't go to work all morning."

"We are trying to find out where he is hiding out. We had an eye witness to inform us about the color of the vehicle and the faces of the abductors. They were only able to tell us a few things – they weren't able to see their faces at all," he continued.

Zack told them a few more details and then he got a call on his phone. Kadie looked at her father. She knew by the way that her father was standing, he was getting some news that might be helpful to the family. He ended the call and looked up to see his daughter looking at him. She smiled. She knew what that looked meant. They had found out where the guy was. She squealed and Ryan jolted up from his seat looking at his fiancée and his future father-in-law. He understood what the look the father-daughter duo was sharing. "They found her?" asked Ryan, ignoring the gasps coming from the occupants of the room. "We have a lead on where they are. The police are sending backup to stake out the house. I am going right now to find out," he said and he bade the families goodbye and ran towards his car. He drove away and Ryan turned back to his family. "Lilly is going to be okay. She's strong," he assured everyone and him included. He looked at everyone's faces but someone was missing.

A/N: Sorry for switching back and forth from the different scenes, I didn't have a better way to add it in. I have already started on the next chapter. I just wanted to post this chapter up. Sorry, if it's kind of short. I tried to figure out a good place to stop and post it up to spark interest. Lol.
