Sorry... haven't updated in a while... :) But, uh, I got a anonymous review asking to do Jiley instead of Moliver... that is not going to happen (sorry) because I don't like that pairing and I don't want to bring in Jake. I think that relationship is too played out and been done too many times that I don't really like bringing Jake in unless I really need to. So sorry, no Jiley.

Chapter 3

Everyone around her were panicking and running around, blocking her view. She looked around for a familiar face, but couldn't spot one.

"Miley!" Lilly shouted, running through the crowd, trying to find her best friend. She was just with her moments ago.

"Lilly!" She turned around to see Juni and Carmen making their way towards her. "We lost her."

"No." Lilly said and then turned to push people out the way. "Miley! Miley, answer me!"

"Lilly, we have to find Gary, maybe she's with him." Juni said, trying to pull her in a different direction. Lilly turned around to face him, but he was gone. Everything was gone as her vision went blurry and then engulfed in darkness.

Lilly woke up in a cold sweat. She had the nightmare again, the same one she's been having for the past three days now. The night of the concert was drawing nearer and everything was planned, but something could still go wrong. Lilly could still lose her best friend.

"Calm down Lilly." She said to herself as she lay back in her bed. But she just couldn't sleep and stayed up for the rest of the night, worrying about what was going to happen.

xXxXx

"How long until you leave?" Lilly asked Miley.

"Still a week." Miley said as she looked down at her cards and then up at Lilly. "How long before your brother leaves?"

"End of the summer." Lilly sighed and as she placed down her card. She then narrowed her eyes at Miley, who did the same as she placed her card down…

"Cheat!"

"How do you always manage that?" Miley asked as Lilly checked the card Miley placed down on the table. Sure enough, underneath the ace was a three of spades.

"I can read you like a book." Lilly said, grinning.

"Well, not like this has been fun, but…" Jackson interrupted from his seat in between Lilly and Miley. Both girls then gave him a look.

"No one said you had to join." Miley said. "I'd prefer it if you weren't here at all."

"My thoughts exactly." Jackson said, getting up off his chair.

"Wait!" Lilly said and grabbed Jackson's arm, to stop him from leaving. Both girls failed to notice that he started to blush. "Let's play a different card game then."

"I'm not playing anything with him, he cheats." Miley said and then stuck her tongue out at Jackson as he mocked her.

"Then let's go to the beach then… I'm sure Jackson has to work at Rico's." Lilly said as she got off her seat.

"Actually, I have the summer off. So I'm free from the little devil. Which means I can join you girls down at the beach."

"And listen to us talk about cute surfer boys?" Miley asked, looking skeptical.

"Right after I find out how Oken manages to hang out with you while you do that. So I'll leave you two here and find my own friends." Jackson said, picking up his keys. "And I'll see you later for your first concert, oh great sister of mine."

"You aren't getting backstage passes for your date!" Miley shouted after him. Lilly heard Jackson say, 'Dang it!' and then the girls burst out laughing. "I promise you Lilly, that boy will never find the perfect girl."

"Maybe." Lilly said and shrugged. "Now let's hit the beach, there's going to be cute boys!"

xXxXx

"Hey, it's my favourite ladies."

"Oliver." Lilly said and rolled her eyes as she removed his arm that he put around her neck, though she noticed Miley didn't. 'Oblivious.' She thought as she started walking towards their favourite spot on the beach.

"So, is Mike ready for the concert tonight?" Miley asked. Lilly felt her heart sink, the concert was tonight.

"And Lola." Lilly added. Miley looked at her, a huge grin now on her face.

"So you're coming?" Miley asked. Lilly nodded and then allowed herself to be pulled into a bone-crushing hug from Miley.

"Ok… can't breathe..." Lilly said so Miley could finally release her. She looked at her friend's face and saw the smile get wider, which made Lilly feel even worse with not telling her about her secret or about the possibility of something terrible happening at the concert…

"Lilly?" She heard a familiar voice and sighed. She turned her head slightly to see Gary walking towards her, a smug look on his face. Of course he'd know where she was, he always did.

"What?" She asked harshly. Miley gave her friend a look and then noticed Gary approaching them.

"We need you back home… now." He said and then looked at Miley and Oliver. He saw Miley advert her eyes and he smirked while Oliver glared at him.

"Not now Jason." Lilly grumbled, not moving to follow him.

"Don't make me carry you."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Ok, you asked for it." Gary then grabbed Lilly around the waist and swung her onto his shoulder. Miley's eyes opened in surprise at this and Gary winked at her, causing Miley to blush. Oliver continued to glare.

"This is so not fair." Lilly shouted, hitting her brothers back and kicking her legs, trying to hit him in the face.

"Life is not fair little sis." Gary said as he started walking. "And who's that friend of yours?"

"That's Miley you idiot. Now put me down or else I will whip your butt later!" Lilly shouted again. She heard Gary laugh, but made no movement to put her down. Lilly put up a struggle and then eventually gave up. By then, the two had reached Rico's, which actually forced Gary to put his sister down but he held onto her tightly so she couldn't get away.

Only then did Lilly notice Juni and Carmen standing there, which caused her to blush. And then walking up the boardwalk towards them was Jackson with a bunch of friends.

"Ok, what is going on?" Lilly asked quickly, trying to duck her head in case Jackson happened to glance her way.

"We have some matters to discuss. We were actually just waiting for you." Carmen said and then gave Gary an odd look. He just shrugged while Lilly and Juni looked on, confused.

"Ok, but can we discuss this in the privacy of my home so no one who knows me sees us? Or decides to eavesdrop?" Lilly suggested. The other three nodded and started to walk away, Lilly guessing to someone's car and started to follow, but heard another all to familiar voice call out to her.

"Yeah?" She asked, turning to look at Jackson.

"Who is that?" He asked, indicating the other three.

"Oh, that's my brother Gar- I mean, Jason. And two other friends who I haven't seen in a while. Just catching up. Tell Miley I'll come over to your house before we leave for the concert to get ready and everything." Lilly said quickly and dashed off back to the others. Lilly felt her cheeks were hot and knew she was blushing. It seemed like her life now was clashing with her past life.

"Who was that?" Juni asked.

"My best friend's older brother. No one important."

"Oh, ok." Juni looked behind his shoulder back at Jackson before moving closer to Lilly. She noticed this and looked at him, but his face was turned the other way. She ignored this and just followed Juni to the parking lot before she left to go join Gary at his car.

"You should avoid your friends for a while." He stated as he got into his car. Lilly just rolled her eyes and got in after him.

'If he only knew… If Miley only knew…' Lilly thought as they drove off, the concert now getting closer with every passing second.

Dun, dun, dun... The concert is coming up soon, not the next chapter but the next one. :) Hee hee... then let's see how safe Hannah will be.
