Lilly opened her eyes slowly, glancing around quickly. She couldn't see anything, but she was sure she heard her name being called. Lilly groped around in the darkness, her hand finally landing on a doorknob. She twisted it slowly, and then pulled in open.

"Miley!" she exclaimed, looking surprised to see her friend sitting on the floor.

Lilly walked into the room, glancing wearily around her. It was empty. There were no windows, or lights, and the door behind her had disappeared. But there was still light. In fact it was almost blinding, she had to shield her eyes while looking at Miley.

"Why are you glowing?" Lilly asked, watching her friend carefully.

Miley stared at her with piercing blue eyes, and then she slowly stood up. "Nick?" her soft voice rang in Lilly's ears.

She shook her head quickly. "Lilly" she replied.

Miley nodded slowly, watching Lilly. She took a step closer. "I miss you" she whimpered, and Lilly frowned.

"I miss you too" she replied softly, watching as Miley pulled her into a tight hug.

Lilly awkwardly wrapped her arms around Miley, resting her head on her shoulder. "Why did you do it?" she whispered, and Miley pulled away.

Miley paused, looking over Lilly's shoulder. Lilly blinked, then followed Miley's gaze. There was nothing there.

"Miley?" Lilly asked, turning back to Miley.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" Lilly asked.

Lilly sighed, watching Miley walk around her. She paused, biting her lip before turning to look at Miley again. She was gone. Lilly turned around again, but Miley wasn't there anymore. She slowly crossed her arms over her chest and cried. What was happening?

Lilly awoke quickly, glancing at the crib to see Miley sleeping. She bit her lip, sitting up and hugging a pillow against her. She stood up, wandering over to the window and staring out it. The sun would come up soon. She grabbed a sweater and left the room, hoping Miley would be okay for twenty minutes so she could walk on the beach.

Lilly slipped on a pair of pink flip flops and walked downstairs. She glanced at Oliver, who was snoring on the couch. She smiled slightly and quietly slipped out of the door, shutting it behind her. She walked quickly to the beach, staring at the water for a moment.

"Hey Lilly" a calm voice came from behind her.

Lilly turned to see Nick; she bit her lip and sat down. "Hey" she whispered, watching him as he took a seat next to her.

Nick sighed, burying his feet in the sand. "Why are you out here?" he asked, glancing at her.

Lilly shrugged, staring at the water. The sun was just beginning to peek over the horizon. "Pretty isn't it?" she asked, ignoring his question.

Nick nodded slowly. "Beautiful" he corrected.

Lilly paused slowly. "I don't like the beach as much as I used to." She said softly, pulling her legs up to her chest.

He gave a weak smile, and then sighed again. "I miss her so much" he said suddenly.

Lilly nodded, leaning against him. "I know, so do I." she whispered.

Nick wrapped his arm around her. "How're you holding up?" he asked.

She paused, wondering how to answer that question. She could be truthful, telling him how much she missed Joe. How much she missed Miley. How much she just wanted her old life back. How much she didn't want a baby, but she had one. She could tell him that she had fallen harder for Joe then she had ever meant to, and even though she didn't talk to him that much anymore, every time she thought of him; she'd fall a little harder. She wanted to tell him that every time Joe looked at her, she got butterflies in her stomach. How whenever he kissed her, she'd forget everything bad that happened, and just focus on everything good that was happening right at that very moment. She wanted to say how confused she was, how she knew she couldn't be with Joe, but she wanted to anyways. Lilly was confused, she couldn't deny it. She was in love with Joe, but had a baby with his brother. Lilly ended up going in the truthful direction. She told Nick everything, barely pausing to breath. She ended with a small sigh, and a slight murmur of how she didn't know what to do.

Nick stared for a moment, his mouth open slightly. He cleared his throat and smiled softly at her. "I know it's hard Lilly, and you're confused…" he began.

Lilly nodded. "I don't know what to do Nick." She murmured.

Nick shrugged slightly, standing up and holding his hand out. Lilly took it, pulling herself up. They turned and began to walk away.

"You got the rest of your life to figure it out" he whispered, and Lilly nodded, knowing he was completely right.
