"Jackson!" Miley yelled up the stairs. She had just gotten home from Oliver's, who had gone back to sleep after she had left that morning. Thankfully she could tell him the truth before he had to hear the rumor himself. "Lily?"

Miley went to the window and saw that Jackson's car was gone. She dialed Lily's cell. No answer. Jackson's cell. No answer. She heard the back door open and turned to see her father with his floppy hair was matted to his forehead. He had just come back from a run and was completely out of breath.

"Miles." He spat out. "Where's-Lily?"

"I have no idea. Jackson's gone too." She walked over to her dad and gave him a big hug. She didn't care that he was sweaty, she just cared that she had her father who still loved her. "Jake Ryan sucks daddy."

"What happened, darlin'?" He hugged her back, then grabbed a water bottle and sat down to catch his breath.

"He told everyone he and Hannah are dating. And he even said that we were planning our wedding!" She sat down next to him and felt her phone buzz in her pocket. She whipped it out, hoping it was Oliver, but it was Jackson. "Hold on Daddy. What do you want Jackson?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I took Lily home after you ditched her." He said.

"I did not!" I stood up and walked on the porch so I could yell at him. "I'm having a hard time and you don't have to be an ass."

"You didn't have to be a bitch to Lily." He said accusingly. "She was really upset Miles. You always leave her in the dust for Oliver. You need to forget about him, for once, and think about being a better friend."

"Jackson that's not fai-" She started, but he had already hung up. So what if he cared about how she treated people. Miley was not going to let another thing get on her mind

when she had Hannah's rep to fix. She walked back into the house, mumbled that she was going out to her dad, grabbed her keys and sped off to Oliver's.

Miley hopped out of her jeep and knocked on the Oken's front door. His mother answered it. She was in her uniform and looked like she was on her way out to work, thankfully.

"Hi Mrs. Oken." Miley smiled. She always liked Miley better than any of Olivers other friends. Well, she like Lily the same, but Miley was always polite and tried her hardest to get on Mrs. Oken's good side. If she ever found out Miley had her Friday's with Oliver, she'd be banned from the house...or maybe arrested. "Is Oliver home?"

"Of course." She smiled and grabbed her keys. "I'm just on my way to work, but he's in his room. Be sure and knock. I never know what that boy's doing in there."

"Thanks." Miley said as she slipped past her, dropping her bag and slipping off her sandals. She knocked on Oliver's door, entering without waiting for an answer.

"Mom! I'm busy!" Oliver was still in his bed with the covers pulled up to his shoulders. His floppy hair fell over his eyes as he flipped over to yell again. "Oh. Sorry Miley. You don't look like my mom or anything. I just thought-"

"No worries." She shut and locked the door and slowly walked over to his bed, crawling in next to him under the covers. "I miss you."

"You only left an hour ago." He wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck. "Where's Lily?"

"I guess Jackson took her home. He said I was being a bitch because I was hanging out with you. I don't understand some of the shit he says." She started unbuttoning her jeans and slipped off her shirt and his boxers. "I love you."

"I love you too."

(Lily's House)

Lily looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was straight and her lips were 'Perfect Pink Pucker', her new favorite lip gloss. She was wearing her black sweater dress with purple tights. Hopefully Jackson wasn't taking her anywhere nice. She put on another coat of lip gloss and heard the doorbell ring. He father opened it and she rushed to get him away. He knew Jackson was in college and that he is Miley's brother, so she hoped he didn't say anything stupid.

"Thanks dad." She smiled and pushed him aside, but he stood his ground. "We're gonna go now. I'll be back before curfew."

"Midnight." Her dad said as he closed the door behind them. "Don't forget. Be safe."

She sighed and looked down in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, all dads do that." Jackson smiled and opened the door for her. He shut it and walked to his side, got in and started the car. Katy Perry's Hot N' Cold was playing. He changed it and started to drive away from her house. "I bet you're wondering where we are going."

"Yeah, kinda." She smiled and tapped her foot along with the song on the radio. Something about some dangerous, bad girl or something.

"Well I'm not telling you." He looked at her and smiled. "But I hope you'll like it."

"I probably won't." She joked and thankfully he laughed. They listened to music and talked about how weird her dad is, until they pulled up to Lily's favorite restaurant. Jem's. It was super expensive and she had been there only once. Hannah and Lola were celebrating her album going platinum. She had had the best dessert ever.

"Jackson." She smiled and looked over at him. He was already out of the car and coming around to her door. He opened it and she stepped out. "Thank you, but this is so expensive. Are you sure you don't wanna go to McDonald's or something?"

"No. You know who my sister is. I can afford this just fine, don't worry." He walked her to the door and opened it, grabbing her hand and walking up to the hostess. "Reservation is under Montana. For two."

"Is Miss Montana going to join you at any time tonight?" She asked grabbing two menus.

"No, something came up and she told us to go ahead without her." He followed her, smiling at Lily. Using Hannah's name was the perfect way to get a seat on a fully booked night. "Works every time."

"Thank you." Lily said as they sat down across from each other. "What are you getting?"

"I ordered your favorite ahead of time." He smiled and moved his foot. He kicked Lily in the shin and she cringed and leaned down to rub it. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Don't worry." A plate covered in chocolate was placed in front of her. And another with some kind of cake, and another with some kind of cheesecake.

"Thank you for dining with us, Can I get you a drink?" The waiter asked politely.

"I'll have a Sam Adams." Jackson said.

"Just a water for me. Thank you." Lily said leaning towards Jackson after the waiter turned away. "You're only 19."

"No worries." He grabbed a fork and started digging into the cheesecake. "They don't even card here. This is great. Here, try some."

He lifted the fork up to her mouth and she took a bite. It was great, some sort of chocolate was drizzled atop the dessert.

"Mmm." She swallowed. "Thank you. How did you remember that I liked this place?"

"I read your diary." He said with a straight face. She jumped a little. "I'm kidding. I was there that night you came here for Hannah. You said you loved the dessert tray and you got these three desserts."

"How do you remember that kind of stuff?" She took a bite off the chocolate covered plate. It was AMAZING. "I can't even remember what I had for lunch yesterday."

"Do you remember that night?" He blushed and the waiter brought them the drinks. He took a long sip.

"Yeah." She swallowed. That was the night it happened.

*Flashback*

"Jackson!" Lily yelled as he walked to his car from the restaurant. "Wait up!"

"Where's Hannah?" He asked, opening his car door. He started it and rolled down his window.

"She left with you know who." She sighed. She looked so sad, her cheeks flushed and her eyes sad. "Can I get a ride?"

"Sure. Get in." He let her hop in, buckle up, and he sped off towards her house.

"I was supposed to stay with Miley tonight and my dad thinks I'm there, so do you mind taking me there?" She hiccuped. She had been drinking a little. He saw her doing it. She smiled more when she drank. It was nice.

"Yeah." He turned the car around and headed to his own home. "She probably won't be back tonight, I hope you know."

"I know." She sighed and stared at me. "That's fine. I'll sleep in her room and that should be okay since she won't come home and no one else would be in her bed I hope since you have your own and your dad-"

"Lily." He stopped her. "I got it. How much have you had to drink?"

"Not too much." She slurred as he pulled into the driveway. They got out and he unlocked the front door. "Thank you Jackson. Do you want gas money or something?"

"No it's okay." He walked her upstairs and into Miley room. "Do you have pajama's?"

"No." She sighed and plopped onto the bed. "I don't know why she always leaves me alone places. I feel bad always asking you to take me places and do stuff for me."

"Don't." He said, grabbing some clothes from Miley's closet, assuming they fit Lily. "I guess you can have these. Just try to be quiet when you get up. I like to sleep. Good night."

"Jackson?" She stopped him. He turned around and looked at her. She looked sad again. Lonely. "Will you stay with me for a little while?"

"Sure. You change. I'll go brush my teeth." He left and she quickly changed, stumbling as she tried to pull the shorts and tank top on.

When he returned, she was sprawled out on the bed. He thought she was asleep, but she sat up and smiled at him.

"I've always kinda liked you." She spat out, standing up and walking towards him. She put her hand on his chest and ran them slowly up around his neck.

"Well..." He put his hands around her waist, not thinking. "I like you too."

"Really?" She looked up at him with big eyes. He nodded. Lily leaned in and Jackson leaned in and their lips met. He didn't want to break away, but she was drunk and he felt like he was taking advantage of her.

"Are you sure?" He paused, taking a deep breath.

Her answer came physically instead of verbally. She kissed him hard and pushed him out of Miley's room and into his own. He laid her in his bed and pushed her hair behind her ears. Her lips were soft and her skin was smooth. The small voice telling him not to do this slowly faded until it was nothing but a buzz. She was a sophomore and his little sisters best friend, but it just felt so right to him.

They kissed for a while before she got the nerve to remove the clothes he picked out for her. He followed her moves and removed his own clothes. They were only left in their underwear. His skin was warm against Lily's breasts. Her fingers roamed his back and she made her way down to his waistband. He pulled his lips away from her and looked her in the eyes.

"Are you sure you're sure?" His eyes were big and innocent.

"Definitely." She pulled his boxers down and he quickly put on a condom while she removed her own underwear. Her face went from shock to pain to pleasure all within three seconds. Jackson started his pace off slow but quickly sped up. Their faces blended together in their kiss as they finished together.

When they both came down from their high, they drifted off to sleep in his bed. The next morning, Miley got home around 4 and went to make sure Jackson had brought Lily home safe, but was surprised by the sight of them in bed. Lily woke slightly as she opened the door, but Miley shut it quickly, hoping she didn't see her. But the truth was, she did. She saw the look she had and knew from then on, their friendship would never be the same.

*End Flashback*

"Let's not talk about right now." Lily finished her dessert and her wine. "What now?"

"Well." He paid the check and looked at Lily. "You have two choices. Movies, or my house."
