A/N: I wanted to thank you for all of the wonderful reviews for that story. You guys put me over 100 reviews! I haven't said this in a while but thanks for putting this story on alert and favorites! : )

Miley gave one last look at her sister and took a deep breath. She opened the sliding door and saw that Nick started tensing up. "Hi, Nick," she said so softly that if he wasn't paying attention, he wouldn't have heard it. He turned around and smiled at her. "How are you feeling, Miley?" he asked. "Welcome home." He walked over and pulled her into a hug. She tried to memorize the feeling of being in his arms. She knew that she would never get this chance ever again. She sniffed in his smell that was distinctively him and committed to memory.

"Thanks," she said, feeling her hands getting clammy as he pulled away from the hug. "I think we better talk, Nick."

"Isn't that what we're doing?" he asked, giving her his infamous smirk. She gave him a small smile. "I think you better have a seat, Nick," she said. He did as he was told. He didn't like how she sounded when she said that.

"Shoot," he said, not really liking the feeling that he was getting. "What's up?"

"I haven't been honest to you, Nick," she said, feeling the tears coming to her eyes. He wanted to pull her closer to him and wipe away her tears but he had a feeling that it would be a bad idea. He decided to let her finish before he would do anything else.

"This is really hard for me," she continued. She looked out at the view of the beach and turned her attention back to him. "I haven't been telling you the whole truth. I do…re…."

"Miley, it's fine," he said and pulled her into another hug. "Of course, you haven't told me the whole truth. You don't even know the whole truth. You have amnesia. Don't worry about it, Miley. You should be inside warming up and not being out here in the cold with me. You might injure yourself worse or something. I know how clumsy you are. Shoot, sorry. You don't remember being all that clumsy."

"Nick, you're not listening to me," she tried again.

"I am, Miles," he replied. "The truth is that you are scared. You were scared and mad at me for earlier, but I promise that I am going to make it up to you. No matter what happens, your's and my relationship is going to be okay. Now, let's go back inside. You are the guest of the party and you, standing out her with me, isn't going to do any good for your condition."

He ushered her in and Lilly walked right over to her and gave her a hug. "Is it okay, if I talk to my sister for a minute?" she asked. Nick nodded his head. "Yeah, that's fine. I'll talk to you in a bit, Miley," he said, kissing her on the cheek lightly. He saw his brothers on the other side of the room and walked towards them. 'That was a really confusing conversation,' he thought to himself as he sidled up next to his brothers.

Lilly started ushering Miley up to her room where they could talk privately. "So, what happened? I see that you're still in one piece and I didn't hear any death sounds coming from outside, that must be really good right?" she asked once they both were situated on the bed.

"I didn't tell him, Lils," Miley explained.

"What?!" Lilly shrieked.

"Shhhh," Miley said to her. She paused a bit to hear if anyone was coming up the stairs or not. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't hear anything. "He wouldn't let me…"

"He wouldn't let you?" Lilly asked incredulously. "You? The girl who would stop at nothing to say what was on her mind? Seriously, Miley?"

"I was trying and he just kept saying that it was 'okay' because he understood that I was scared of not remembering our relationship or starting it again," Miley explained. "I just don't know what I'm going to do." She fell back on her bed. "Please, help me, Lilly."

"Look, Miley," Lilly answered. "You and I both know that it's not going to be good if Nick hears it from any of us that you are lying to him, yet again, Miley. He doesn't deserve that. Yes, he hurt you back then, but he is trying to make it better. He is trying his best to be the man that you always wanted. Just…you need to tell him before any of us will. If you're scared that when Joe and I get married…"

"I understand that it's okay for me to marry Nick or for me to be with Nick after you and Joe get marry, okay? It's not like any of us are related by blood. Yes, I know that, Lillian. I'm just saying that he's not going to like me anymore. I just want to have this good feeling stay for a while," Miley answered.

"Really?" Lilly asked. "You do understand that this is completely wrong. We see this so many times on Mom's soap operas. Do not turn out like them. This isn't a TV show. You can't play with people's heart." She shook her head and walked towards the door. "I'm serious, Miley. Tell him before it's too late."

"You're supposed to be my sister," Miley snapped back. She felt the anger rolling off of her body. Lilly was supposed to be on her side.

"I am," Lilly retorted. "But, there's a line that I will not cross even if you are my sister or my best friend. Get that through your head, Miley. Nick is a person and he doesn't deserve whatever you are going to put him through."

With that said, she slammed the door and walked down the stairs. She took a breath before she walked into the living room. She looked around and saw that everyone was standing up and looking at her. Joe rushed over to her side. "Are you okay, baby?" he asked, his voice filled with concern. "We all heard the door slamming shut."

"Oh," she exclaimed trying to come up with something at the top of her head. "I'm fine. Miley's fine too. I just accidentally closed the door too hard that's all. We're all good." She mentally patted her back when she noticed that everyone hadn't noticed her lie. She looked up and saw that one person caught it though. Joe ushered her towards the kitchen and quickly nodded his head to Kevin in the other corner. He nodded his head in return and turned his attention back to his little brother.

"So, what was that really about, Lils?" Joe asked, as he got him and her situated with a slide of cake in front of them.

"She didn't tell him," Lilly said, sighing. "We told her to tell him tonight. I know it's hard but she hasn't been around him to see him like this. She says that she loves him but that she hates him at the same time. That girl can't make up her damn mind and it's tearing everything apart. Nick is walking around on eggshells when he doesn't even have to. Miley's trying to exact some kind of revenge that will only come back to hurt her in the end."

"Lilly," Joe said, letting out a long breath. "I know my brother and he will get mad. Yes, we do know that. But, we can't really do anything about it. We just have to let nature takes its course. You and I both know that we can't dictate their lives for them."

"It's just that…"

"I know that you are feeling helpless," Joe replied. "I do too. Hell, Kevin and Kadie do too, okay? But, you have to understand that this is not our battle. It's their's. They have to handle this. Nick is a big boy. Miley's a big girl."

"She is a big girl and she needs to own up to her mistakes and her actions, Joe."

"Lils, this isnt' our battle. We have to let it go." He pulled her into a hug and felt her relax in his arms.

"I know you're right, but…" Lilly started to say but Joe cut her off. "No, 'but's,' Lilly. This is their problem not ours. We are going to be neutral as best as we could." She nodded her head and turned her attention back to the cake in front of her. 'I hope that when everything comes out, it will be okay in the end. This isn't going to be a good ending though,' she thought to herself as she dig back into her cake.

A/N: I hope everyone doesn't hurt me after this. It might take a while before I can post up the next chapter. I hope everyone has a great week. Maybe I can squeeze in some more writing! : )
