Hanging by a moment, chapter 3

Miley was waiting for Lilly, even if she had told her not to. She got home in the early morning and Miley was asleep on the couch. Lilly wasn't quiet though, and she woke up. When she saw Lilly, Miley saw immediately she had been drinking.

''Ooooh Miley! How are youuuuuuuuuuuu'' Lilly said, staggering and noticing Miley on the couch. She went to hug her, but Miley stood up and Lilly fell on the couch. ''woops'' she babbled.

''Where have you been?'' Miley asked, exasperated.

''Out.'' Lilly groaned, her head in the couch.

''With Liz?'' Miley snapped.

Lilly froze, like suddenly she had sobered up. ''What?'' She said, looking at Miley.

''I found the box.''

''and...?'' Lilly replied, challenging, straightening up.

''And? Is that all you have for your defense?''

''Thanks Miley, you made my day suck now!''

''Well, YOU made my life suck'' Miley replied on the same angry tone.

The girls looked at each other for a while. Anger, sadness, disgust, hatred, all these emotions were running in the electrified atmosphere.

''I think you should leave.'' Miley said.

''I think I should leave to.'' Lilly replied.

''Good.''

''Good.''

Lilly grabbed her jacket and went for her keys.

''I don't think you'll need them anymore,'' Miley told her as she grabbed them herself.

''Fine. I'll send someone to pick up my stuff.''

Lilly left, slamming the door.

Miley woke up suddenly. She was sweating, her heart racing. She looked around, trying to remember where she was. Lilly was next to her, peacefully sleeping.

''Wow, that was weird.'' She thougth.

Miley was sleepily resting her head in her hand in History. She couldn't follow the teacher's explanations. She was too tired to care.

''Miss Stewart!'' the teacher called. But she didn't hear him. Lilly kicked Miley in the shin. Miley jumped and looked at Lilly, her eyebrow raised saying.

''Whay did you do that for?'' She whined.

Lilly signaled her the teacher was talking to her with a sign of her head.

''I think it was for me...'' The teacher said, sarcastic.

Miley blushed.''Sorry.'' Lilly gave her a look, and went back to her notes.

Lilly and Miley went to lunch after their class.

''What's going with you?'' Lilly asked. ''You've been out all morning!''

''I didn't sleep well last night...''

''Oh. Did I snore or something?'' Lilly asked, a sorry expression on her face.

''Nooo, no. Not this time!'' Miley teased.

Lilly pulled her tongue to Miley and went to the line.

''I had a weird dream last night.'' Miley whispered to her. Lilly frowned.

''you wanna talk about it?''

''I guess... but not here...''

A few minutes later, they sat at a free table. Both of the girls started to eat in silence. Lilly was looking up at Miley from times to times. She put her fork dowm and leaned in her chair. ''You're gonna tell me?''

Miley looked up at Lilly. Lilly looked concern. She started telling her everything, every detail she could remember.

''It was just a dream Miley.'' Lilly softly said after Miley was done.

''Yeah, but dreams mean something.''

''Freud's reincarnation is in front of my eyes...'' Lilly mocked.

''Very funny!'' Miley snapped. She was grumpy.

''I'm sorry,'' Lilly said taking Miley's hand. ''I'm sorry I cheated on you in your dreams, and I'm sorry I made you stop your career. But you know I would never do that in the REAL WORLD!'' You probably dreamed about that because of what's happening with...''

Oliver practically jumped on Miley.

''Oliver'' Lilly ended, but more for herself than Miley.

''What are you doing?'' Oliver asked Miley. She frowned.

''What is she doing here?'' Oliver said pointing at Lilly with his thumb.

''Hey! I can hear you Oaken.'' She protested, outraged.

''Don't care...'' he simply replied, without even looking at her.

Miley gasped. Because of her night, she had completely forgotten about that.

''Err, Lilly was begging for me to forgive her.'' She lied. ''But don't worry, not gonna happen!''

Lilly groaned and looked et her plate. Here they were again. The sneaking part of their plan sounded funny, but being treated that way was really bothering her.

''of course it won't happen! You can't forgive something like that.'' Oliver exclaimed. ''Lilly, I think you should go. Give Miley some space.''

''But I'm still having lunch!'' Lilly cried.

''Don't care. Just go sit somewhere else.''

Lilly glanced at Miley, wondering what to do. But Miley seemed helpless. She nodded discretly, giving in.

''Fine. But you're gonna regret it Oliver. Believe me, when you'll know everything, you're gonna feel very sorry!'' Lilly left with her tray and sat with Matt and Nick.

That night, Lilly and Miley weren't together. It's been a few nights in a row that Lilly hadn't spent at home, and her mom wanted her there. Thus, Lilly was sleeping alone. Before Miley, she would never had thought it could get so lonely.

''Miley!'' Lilly called, looking all over the room, trying to find something. Lilly was pregnant.

''What?'' Miley cried from another room.

''Did you see my earring?''

''Nooo. Look on the sink, you always put it there.''

Lilly went to the sink... and found her earring. ''Thanks hon' ''

Miley entered the room.

''So how do I look?'' Lilly asked. She was wearing crazy sunglasses and an evening dress with a pink wig. She had the style of a pregnant funkie jet setter, which was perfectly normal for her now.

''It's kind of funny.'' Miley said;

''Funny good? Or funny hugh...?'' Lilly worried.

''Funny perfectly good...''

Lola and Hannah were at a party. Lola had put a plate of amuse gueule on her belly, and was eating them greedily. Hannah was talking to some famous people. Some celebrities gave weird looks at Lola, but her pregnancy excused everything. She told Hannah she had to go to the bathroom, for the fifth time in one hour, and left.

Lola came back in the room a few minutes later. This is when she saw Hannah kissing Jake Ryan.

Lilly opened her eyes suddenly. What the hell was that dream? She thought about Miley and her dream of last night.

''Oh man, Miley tainted me!'' She exclaimed, sitting up in her bed.
