A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. I haven't said this in a while but thanks for putting this story on alert and favorites! : )

The Next Day

Miley was lying on her bed in her room worried about what Nick Jonas was going to say. She had gone over every story that she could come up with, if he came up to talk to her at Joe's welcome home party. She was startled out of her deep thoughts when she heard Lilly bouncing around outside in the hallway. She got out of bed slowly shaking her head. Lilly may be her sister but sometimes, she's just too hyper for Miley. She definitely was a match for Joe Jonas.

Miley walked slowly out of her room and into the bathroom that she shared with Lilly. It was one of those connector bathrooms. She jumped into the shower and thirty minutes later, she felt refreshed. She still didn't know how to deal with Nick when they go to the Jonas's house. 'What am I going to do? What am I going to say when he starts talking to me?' she asked as she stumbled out of the bathroom and towards her closet. 'Daddy's going to kill me. I was supposed to let the Hannah thing die because I chose to a normal girl again.'

She let out a piercing scream when she entered her closet. Lilly and Kevin were sitting on one of the benches in her closet. "What in the world are you two doing in my closet?" she asked, standing her ground. "Aren't you, Lilly, supposed to be at the hospital keeping Joseph company until the party? And, aren't you, Kevin, supposed to be at your house decorating everything in sight for the said party?"

"Relax, Miles," Lilly said. "We were, but, we kind of need to talk to you. Well, Kevin has something to say to you. And, I advise you to listen."

Kevin cleared his throat. He didn't know how to begin. He figured he should just blurt out what was going on at his home. "Nick's been up all night. He passed out around two or three in the morning in mine and Joe's room. We stayed up talking about you," he said.

Miley felt her eyes widen at the confession. "What…what…um…ahem…what about me?" she asked.

"He went over the entire story over again with me. He couldn't figure it out. I think you should tell him the truth soon. If he hears it from you, it will be better than him finding out on his own and hating you for it. You know my brother, he hates it when someone keeps something from him," Kevin said, trying to reason with the young woman. "I woke up before he did this morning and went to check the laptop and I found a lot of google searches for you. Miles, I think it's really best that you do this."

"What do you think about this, Lils?" she asked, turning the tables on her sister. Lilly sighed. She had a feeling that Miley wasn't going to like her answer and she was right. "Miley, you know that I love you, but I think this has gone far enough. You should tell him before he starts hating you," Lilly answer. "I know you really don't want that to happen. You have to…"

"You're supposed to be on my side, Lilly. That's what sisters are supposed to do. I know that Kevin will do anything for his brother. So, will Joe. But, you?" Miley snapped. Lilly sat back stunned. She didn't think this would happen when Kevin told her what happened between him and Nick last night. Kevin stood up and grabbed a hold of the brunette. "Lilly is on your side, Miley. She's protecting you as far as she could. Joe and I, yes, it's true that we want to protect our brother, but you are like a sister to us too. We don't want you two to have a falling out even more. Just think about it, Miles," Kevin said, heading towards the door. "Come on, Lils, I'll give you a ride to the hospital. I already finished my part in the decorations." Lilly threw a glance back at her sister as she walked out of the closet. "We love you, Miles. We just don't want to see the both of you in such pain," she said and followed Kevin to his car.

Miley sank down on the bench that was previously occupied by the two friends. She didn't know what to do. She ran into her room and pulled out her cell phone. She scrolled down and reached a phone number that she hadn't called in a while. She waited a little and was frustrated that she received his voicemail. "Ollie, it's me. Please, call me back. I really need to talk to you," she said and hung it up. She went and got dressed. She heard her phone ring and ran to grab it. She picked it up without even checking the caller ID. Thinking it was Oliver, her other best friend, she said, "Hey, Ollie, thanks for calling me back." She almost had a heart attack when she heard the voice of a boy she hadn't heard from since forever. "Hey, Miles," he said.

"Hi….hi…Jake, how are you?" she asked. She heard him chuckle.

"I'm doing okay. Oliver is with my cousin at the moment and asked that I call you back. I can't believe that you still have this number," he said. She missed his friendship. Everyone thought that he was cheating on her and that was why they broke up, but that wasn't the real truth. He was seeing her at the time, and she accidentally kissed him when she was in her Hannah mode. It created a whole entire chaotic period. They decided that it was best that they break up and just stay friends. It would be better for both of their careers. "How are you, Miley? Oliver said that you sounded kind of sad. What did that Jonas kid do to you?" he asked, getting mad that one of his good friends was hurting.

"What? How did you know that it was about Nick?" she asked, confused. She didn't tell Oliver about Nick.

"I saw the pictures from the beach," Jake answered. "And, Lilly told me a few things when I called her the other day when she called me to tell me, Oliver, and Nora about her engagement. Please, don't be mad at her. I asked about you."

"It's okay, Jake," Miley said, sighing. "It's just gone all wrong, Jake, I really don't know what to do." She told him the entire story about what had been happening between her and Nick and Hannah. "I just don't know. It's really complicated. Remember how you didn't even want to talk to me after I told you that I was Hannah?"

"Did you forget that I thought it was okay?" Jake asked her. "I told you that I didn't care. I fell for you, Miley Stewart, not your other personality. Besides, when you tell him, and he doesn't like what he hears and makes you cry, Oliver and I will be on the first plane back to California to kick his butt. I still have my knight armor in my closet somewhere."

She burst out laughing at that comment. She remembered how he wanted her to become his girlfriend, so, he went all out and showed up at her door in the knight armor and flowers in hand. It was such a cute sight to her. She missed those carefree days.

"Miles, I'm serious. If he makes you cry…" Jake said.

"I know. You and Oliver are the best," she said. Jake wished that he could be there to give his best friend a hug. She definitely deserved it after that story she told him. "Just tell him, Miles," Jake said after a while. "He deserves the truth. Who knows? He might even understand."

"Thanks for the talk, Jake Ryan," she said, smiling into the phone. Talking to Jake really did make her feel a little bit better. "Say 'hi' to everyone for me." She hung up the phone and went back into her closet. She had to dress to impress because this might be the only chance she gets with Nick.
