+Part 3

Hard Decisions

Miley glared at the gun before her completely frozen in terror, when the shot echoed in the trailer she wondered whether or not he had fired at her, the answer came seconds later as Jesse plummeted to the floor and she saw Lily standing behind him with Chris's .45 gun in her hands, Miley's eyes filled with tears as she saw her best friend with her leg red with blood, her face bruised and her hair messed up.

-Don't... y... you... ever... try... t... to hurt... my... Miley... again...

-Lily...

-...I.... love... you... -Lily said with a whisper

Then the gun fell to the floor and Lily plummeted seconds after, Miley crawled to help her the second Deke entered the trailer.

-NOBODY MOVE!! POLICE!!!!

-GET HELP FOR LILY!!!! -Miley screamed

-Jesus... 70 David we have multiple people wounded, we also have and officer down, I repeat, two gunshot victims and an officer down!!! -he boomed

-Who's down? -Hondo replied

-Sanchez got shot, Truscott is wounded... and I the attacker is dead. -Deke said

-I'm fine, remember what I told you about getting shares at kevlar? I'm definitely going for this time.

Miley rode with Lily in the ambulance while Robbie excused her to her fans, in her ears, there were no sirens, no beeps from the medical equipment, just one voice and the words that were hammering her endlessly.

-"...my Miley... I love you... my Miley... I love you... my Miley... I love you..."

The following day she woke up when a hand shook her gently in the chair she occupied in Lily's hospital room.

-I need to take you home -Chris said

-No... I want to stay here with Lily...

-Look, people is starting to get suspicious, you're still in your Hannah clothes, come on, I'll bring you back later.

Miley understood, the only difference between her and Hannah Montana was the blond hair, it was too much of a risk. Two hours later she was back, she walked into the room and sat beside Lily holding her hand.

-Wake up please... I need you...

Two days passed and Lily's condition began to improve, Miley had gone home to bathe and change and was about to leave when Oliver arrived.

-I'm going to check on Lily, you coming?

-Uh... she's not in the hospital anymore. -He replied

-What?

-She was discharged this morning.

-How? She didn't even woke up yet... how could she...

-I don't know, that's what I was told when I went to check on her an hour ago.

Miley drove to Lily's home. Heather opened the door.

-Oh hi Miley.

-Hi, I came to see Lily.

-I'm sorry... but... she said she wanted to be on her own for a while

Miley's eyes opened wide.

-What? She's my best friend... I want to see her...

-Why don't let her call you when she's ready? -Heather said

Confused and hurt, Miley went back home. Three days later her cell beeped with a text message. It was from Lily and it read "meet me at the beach near Rico's"

Miley passed the store where her brother and Rico worked and went a little bit further until she saw her best friend sitting in the sand and letting the water touch her feet. Silently she sat beside her.

-Lily? -Miley said with a scared voice.

The blond cleaned the tears from her face.

-Hi...

-What's wrong Lily, why didn't you wanted me to see you?

-Remember what I told you when I saved you?

-Yeah, you said "I love you Miley" so?

-I wasn't supposed to say that... it was my secret...

-Lily what are you talking about? What secret?

Without any warning Lily leaned towards her and before Miley could react both her lips were touching, after a few seconds they separated. Miley was petrified.

-I love you Miley... more than anything in the world... you're my soul-mate... being with Oliver was only a facade... I'm sorry....

It took Miley over two minutes to open her mouth.

-It's all right... I... I'll need to think about all this... so... don't worry OK?

Lily hugged her.

-Thank you...

The End.
