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 haven't said this in a while but thanks for putting this story on alert and favorites! : )

Miley arrived at the party and everyone was getting ready to find a hiding place. "You've made it, dear," Denise said, as she pulled Miley into the house. "Everyone is getting in position. Paul and I were sad to see that you didn't arrive with your parents earlier."

"Yes, I am sorry," Miley apologized. "A friend of mine was going through a mini crisis and I was trying to calm her down." Denise looked appalled. "I hope everything went alright," she said and Miley gave her a small smile.

"I hope so too," she mumbled.

"What did you say, dear?" Denise asked as she turned to walk back to the living room. "Nothing, Miley said.

As she walked into the living room, she saw all of the decorations in place. She wished that she was there earlier to help decorate, but she didn't want to run into Nick. Then, she would have to explain to him and she didn't want to do that just yet. She did bring the cake that her parents had asked for her to pick up at the bakery. "The kids should be here soon," Paul said from his seat on the couch. "Kevin just called me and let me know that they are heading out right now. So, places everyone!"

Joe, Kevin, and Lilly walked up the Jonas's walkway. "Are you glad to be back, Joe?" Kevin asked, grinning ear-to-ear. Joe nodded his head excitedly. "I miss Mom's cooking," he said and Kevin and Lilly both laughed at his answer. "What? Her food is better that what they had at that hospital. Thanks again, man, for the other day."

"That is true about Denise's cooking and the hospital food. Wait a minute, what do you mean 'thanks again, man?' Joseph Adam, what did you do?" Lilly asked her fiancé as he tried to reach the front door first.

"Nothing!" he called back. Lilly didn't believe him one bit. She turned and glared at Kevin as they continued the trek after Joe. "What in the world did he mean by that, Paul Kevin?"

Kevin looked dejectedly at Joe. Joe knew that he was going to be in trouble now. "I brought him some fast food from the restaurant down the block from the hospital," Kevin said as he rushed towards the door with Joe following on his heels. "You two, come back here right this instant!" Lilly yelled as she caught up to them. She whacked the both of them on the back of their heads. "You should know better, Kevin. The hospital food, even though it does taste horrible, is supposed to be good for you?" she stated but it came out more like a question. All three of them burst out laughing. Lilly was never able to stay mad at the two for long. "Let's go in," she said, as they all calmed down. She linked arms with both boys and led the way in.

They reached the living room and everyone jumped out surprising Joe. "This is wonderful," Joe said, as everyone welcomed him home. He gave his mom a giant hug and told her that he had missed her cooking. She laughed and laughed until she cried. "Oh, Joseph," she said and hugged him even longer. Everyone got to hug him and they went off in search of food.

Miley stayed in her corner after she finished her lunch. She saw Nick a couple of times, but tried to walk in the other direction. Joe came up to her as she was trying to find her way back into her corner. He threw an arm around her. "You know, you deserve some happiness in your life, Miles," he said. She looked up at him confused. She already felt the happiness, well, sort of. He nodded his head towards his younger brother. "You need to tell him. And, if he knows what's good for him, he will understand." With that, he walked away and put both arms around Lilly. Miley could see the big smile on her sister's face. She wished that she was able to have that. But, she knew that if she told Nick the truth, he would hate her forever.

She took a deep breath and pushed herself off the wall that she was currently leaning on. She had made up her mind. Everyone was telling her that it was a good idea to tell him now rather than later. She searched around the room for Nick and found him by the refreshment table. She unconsciously ran her hand through her hair as she walked towards him. She caught Robby's eye as she walked towards Nick. He gave her a small smile and nodded his head. He understood why she had to do this. He wasn't mad at her. Hannah Montana was long gone.

Miley tapped a finger on Nick's shoulder and he turned around, surprised to see her standing so close to him. "Hi," she said, shyly. He gave her his infamous smile – the one that always made her knees weak. "I was wondering if we could talk?" He nodded his head and led her upstairs to his room. He knew that that was where they would get the most privacy. He had a feeling from the way that the conversation was of a serious matter and not one of those conversation starters at parties.

He sat down on his bed and patted the seat next to him. She shook her head. "I think it would be best that I sit over here," she said, gesturing towards the computer chair in the room. "I don't think you will like me sitting next to you after I tell you this."

"Miley, I could never hate you," Nick said, as he tried to get her to sit next to him, but she still wouldn't budge.

"Nick, please, don't make this harder for me," she said, as she plopped herself down on the revolving chair. She sucked in a huge breathe. "I…I…um…ahem…I'm not who you think I am."

"Of course, I do," Nick said.

"You do?" she asked confused.

He nodded his head. "I'm sorry for doubting you," he said, getting up from his seat on the bed and started pacing. "I had this crazy notion that you and Hannah Montana were the same person. It was crazy. I started looking up your name and hers and I found pictures. I thought I was going crazy. Robby totally looked like Robby Rae – Hannah's dad. It was really uncanny. He just had some different features. But, I blame that on sleep deprivation. I was searching for a needle in a haystack. Please, forgive me for acting all crazy and thinking all of that stuff," Nick said and went to grab her hands.

She pulled her hands away from his. His eyes stayed on her the entire time that she pulled away. She got up from her seat which made him back up a little bit. She began pacing around the room, this time. "What would you do if it was true?" she asked him. She couldn't even look at him right now. She felt the tears in her eyes threatening to spill over.

"I…I…I don't know," Nick said truthfully. "But, that's not even possible, now that I think it through."

"Nick," she said, breaking off his chant. "Just tell me what you would do or how you would feel?"

"Miles, why are you asking this?" he asked, confused now more than ever.

"Just answer the question, Nicholas," she said sternly.

He gave a sigh and shook his head. "I don't know. I would feel betrayed for sure. I mean, Hannah and I have a history. And, if it was possible, which it isn't, you and I can't be together," he said. She whirled around to face him. She knew that this was coming but it still hurt to hear. "Why?" she choked out.

"Because then it's like me dating Hannah again," he answered. "She hurt me so much. Yes, we are slowly becoming friends again but it's not the same anymore. We're not as close to each other anymore. Miley, why does this even matter?"

"Do you love me at all?" she asked. She knew that she was grasping at straws, but she needed to know the truth.

"Yes, of course," he answered. "Miles," he said as he came closer to her. She put her hands out in front of her to signal him to stop.

"I need to tell you something important," she sobbed out, the tears finally made their appearance. He wanted to pull her into his arms but she wasn't letting him. "I love you so much, you have no idea." He felt a smile come to his face but that was wiped off when he heard her next words. It rocked him to his core. "But, we can't be together. Because you hate Hannah and she's me. I am her."

"That's not true," he said, desperately trying to keep his image of the girl he loves and not seeing the blond-haired girl that was of his past.
"It is, Nick," she cried out. She tried to come closer to him but he backed away from her. "Hannah was my alter-identity. I loved singing but I didn't want to be famous because I had wanted a normal life. You know, with all of the paparazzi on your tail and everything. I just wanted to have that normalcy. So, my family and I came up with Hannah and...I'm sorry, Nick, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"You didn't mean to hurt me?" Nick said astonishingly. He had to sit down for a moment. This was going way over his head. "Were you ever planning to tell me?" Miley stayed silent and he nodded his head in anger. "Right, because you wanted to keep yours secrets. Did you know that it was me when we met? Of course, you did. You made me fall in love with you, again, I might add, just to watch me crumble and go crazy, right? That was the master plan, right, Hannah?"

"My name is Miley," she said. She couldn't believe the sweet boy of her dreams was saying all of this to her.

"No, you are Hannah Montana," he snapped back. "That is who you are. You can never hide that. But, that was a lie, wasn't it? You lied to my face when we were dating. You lied to my face when we weren't dating. You told me that you never would hide anything from me. You told me that you loved me."

"I do love you," she cried, but he ignored her.

"I called Hannah, I mean you, to ask you on advice about you!!!! I can't believe this! Were you just playing me then too? Who else knew? F***! Did Joe and Kevin know too? Is that why they tensed up when I mentioned you and Hannah in the same damn sentence?" he asked, angrily. If looks could kill, then Miley was halfway to being dead. She nodded her head. "This is just great," he said and stormed out of his room. He paused as he reached his door. "Does he know?" He heard a meek 'yes' come from her direction. He couldn't take it anymore. He ran into the living room and grabbed his keys. "I don't ever want to see you again after this. This is some sick joke. I hope you're happy, Hannah. You've gotten your revenge!"

"Nick," Kevin said softly.

"Save it, Kevin," Nick said sternly. "I don't want to talk to you or Joe right now."

Joe came up to his younger brother in hopes of blocking his path. "You were just at the hospital, Joe, I doubt you want to be back there so soon," he said and pushed his way to the front door. Denise and Paul gasped at the tone and sight of their son. What happened to the sweet-nature man that they raise? They caught the sad look sent by Heather and Robby. Lilly looked beyond the family members and rushed to Miley's side. She had fainted by the time she reached the bottom of the stairs. Jackson and Ryan rushed towards their little sister and brought her to the couch. Denise ran to get a cold compress for her head. She retrieved it and handed to Lilly. Lilly placed it on the brunette's head. "I'm so sorry, Miles," she whispered as she cried into her arm that was lying near her sister's arm. Joe pulled her into a hug and tried to soothe her down by rubbing the small of her back. He glanced at Kevin and saw that he was shell shocked too. Heather, Kevin's girlfriend, rushed up to him and pulled him into a hug. She didn't understand what was going on. One minute, everyone was happy that Joe was home and the next minute, Nick storms out and Miley is lying unconsciously on the Jonas's couch.

A/N: I hope everyone doesn't hurt me after I say this. It might take a while before I can post up the next chapter. It's been the first week and I already had a quiz, plus a couple more this week. I hope everyone has a great week. Maybe I can squeeze in some more writing! : )
