Lilly threw the magazine against the wall and scoffed. She felt her shoulders shake as she collapsed on her bed. She heard Miley give a muffled sob and stood up again, shuffling over to her crib. Lilly quickly wiped her face and looked down into the crib. Miley was staring back with giant blue eyes. She smiled softly and watched her eyes flutter as she fell back to sleep quickly. Lilly glanced at the magazine lying on the floor and sighed. It was yet another article about Miley's double life. Most of it was lies. They had stretched the truth like gum and made Miley look like some horrible person. She sneered at the magazine before lying back down of her bed.

While Joe, Kevin and Nick had been in New York, they had visited quite a few times. Joe eager to spend time with her, Kevin eager to spend time with his daughter (which Lilly approved of greatly) and Nick was just sort of…there. Every time she saw him she felt her heart break just a little bit more. He had given so much to Miley, and she had given so much back. If it was hurting her, it must be so much worse for him. She curled up into a ball under her sheets, still fully dressed and closed her eyes. She just lay there, not quite awake, but not quite sleeping. She was so tired, tired of everything. She was tired of New York already, tired of the lies, tired of just…everything. She wanted to see Oliver, and Jackson, Robbie Ray, her friends. Every bone in her body ached to get back to California. The only good thing that happened so far was the fact that she was finally Joe's girlfriend. She gave a soft sigh and snuggled deeper under the covers.

Faster. Faster. She had to keep up. She scurried along the long hallway after Miley, who seemed to be slowing. She slowed to a stop beside Miley, surprised that she wasn't out of breath yet.

"What is it? What is it Miley?"

Miley placed her Hannah wig on her head and smiled just a little too big. She opened the only door in the hallway and went in, closing it behind her.

Frowning Lilly pulled on the door, trying to open it. She pulled a little harder, whimpering now. Why wouldn't it open? She felt a soft hand on her back, and turned to see Kevin pushing the door open. She blushed slightly and went in; trying to ignore the fact he was following her. A long blue curtain blocked half the room from view, and she tried to pull it out of the way. Her eyes trailed over to Kevin who was staring intently at the wall. She dropped to her knees and crawled under the curtain. She stood up and brushed off her pants. They were very pretty pants, she couldn't help noticing. She looked up to see Miley still wearing her wig and singing in a microphone to an invisible crowd.

She nodded.

"Miley what-"

"Lilly?" came a soft voice, waking her up from a slightly weird dream.

"Hm? What? Huh?" she said, sitting up and rubbing her eyes with a wide yawn.

She opened them to see Joe sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Everything okay?" he asked nervously, and she nodded, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Yeah. Why are you here?" she asked, stretching slightly and moving closer to him.

"We're leaving tonight, I wanted to say goodbye" he replied with a sad smile.

"Oh" Lilly said, her face falling. He noticed immediately and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing her in to kiss her forehead.

She gave a small smile and bit her lip. "Can't I come see you off at the airport?" she asked and he nodded.

"If you'd like" he replied as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I will" she said back, sighing slightly.

She looked over at Miley's crib and the small rise and fall of the baby's chest. Joe absentmindedly played with her hair. She turned back to him and he looked up at her.

"You have very pretty eyes" he said suddenly and she laughed.

"Wanna go back to sleep?" he asked gently and she shook her head.

"I'm up now." She replied, standing.

He nodded, standing as well.

Lilly's mum walked in and smiled at them both. "You're awake" she chirped, still smiling.

Lilly nodded. "Obviously." She replied with a grin, Joe smiled and laced his fingers with her.

"Why don't you two go out? I'll take care of Miley" her mum said moving over to the crib and looking down.

Lilly frowned. "I don't know…" she said, looking up at Joe who nodded enthusiastically.

"Come on, it'll be a date." He said softly, and Lilly couldn't help smiling.

"You sure mum?" she asked nervously, and her mother nodded with a wave of her hand.

"Kay bye" Lilly chirped, dragging Joe out of her room and into the elevator.

"I'm guessing you're tired of being in your apartment?" he asked breathlessly as they left the elevator and walked into the lobby.

Lilly nodded. "I love being with Miley, it's just…I guess I miss my life." She said frowning.

"Well, guess it's your lucky day. Because you have a date with Joe Jonas" he said, opening the door for her and bowing slightly.

She giggled, walking out. She felt his arm around her shoulder and smiled.

"This is disgusting" Lilly exclaimed, spitting the food out and wiping her tongue with a napkin.

Joe began to laugh and wiped his hands. "You don't like it?" he asked, looking at the sushi on the plate in front of her.

Lilly grimaced, trying to get the taste out of her mouth.

He began to laugh and leaned over the table. "I think I can fix that" he muttered, crashing his lips against hers.

Lilly closed her eyes and deepened the kiss, ignoring the fact that there were thirty other people in the restaurant and this was more then likely going to end up in a magazine tomorrow.

She pulled away and smiled, biting her lip. Joe leaned back and his chair and winked at her. He motioned at the waiter. "Check please."

---

"It was…nice" she replied and Joe began to laugh.

"You hated it." He said, still laughing.

"The food yes…but the rest was nice" Lilly grinned.

Joe nodded and stuffed his hands in his pockets as they continued to walk back to Lilly's apartment.

Lilly looked up at the graying sky and zipped her sweater up further, shivering slightly.

"Cold?" he asked, trying to make conversation.

Lilly nodded as they stopped in front of her apartment. "So I'll see you at the airport?"
Joe smiled. "Flight's at 7" he replied hugging her. She sighed and pulled away.
"Bye Joe" she whispered, not ready to leave.

"Bye Lilly" he replied, leaning down and kissing her cheek.
She watched as he avoided a small group of girls that were practically jumping on him. She smiled to herself and went inside.
