Wow! Thanks for all the reviews, guys! I can't believe I got 12 reviews on the first chapter! And, I noticed one question that seemed to pop up in most of the reviews, "Is it going to be Loliver?" Well, that's for me to know, and for you guys to find out later. And, I realized I was spelling Lilly's name wrong. Silly me. Okay...enough talking, here's chapter 2.


Secrets Are Supposed to Stay Secret
Chapter 2: Snipped In Half

One by one, pictures of Drew Evans floated to the ground at Miley's feet. They were snipped in half. Lilly watched her friend laugh evily as she snipped pictures of her rival from a magazine that was lying around in Miley's Hannah closet.

"Who does that guy think he is?" Miley said as another picture fell to the ground. "Messing with Hannah Montana, trying to take the spotlight away from me."

Lilly didn't argue. She just continued watching her friend's pictures floating to the ground. Seeing them being cut up made her want to cry. But her tears were held back.

Miley snipped the last Drew picture. "Well, that's all of them. Hey, Lilly, do you happen to have any magazines?"

Lilly snapped back to earth, "Oh, no. Sorry."

Miley just shrugged, "I guess I'll just go through Jackson's stuff, he's bound to have something!"

Lilly watched Miley-on-a-mission leave the secret Hannah closet in hopes of finding more magazines. Much to Lilly's liking, the doorbell rang before Miley even reached Jackson's room.

"Is anyone going to get that?" Miley called out into the empty house and rolled her eyes. "Why don't I get it?"

Miley grumpily dragged her feet to the front door, mumbling random things under her breath.

"Miley, Lilly," Oliver said walking straight in the open door. "Got any Wheat bread? I'm hungry."

"Is that all you care about?" Miley asked as Oliver searched the cupboards in hopes for sustenance.

"Psh, of course not," Oliver said taking his head out of a cupboard for a few seconds, before diving back in. "I care if you have ham and mayonnaise too. So, what's up?"

Miley sat down at the stool at the kitchen bar, "Oh nothing, just going through some ol' magazines." She looked down at Oliver's colossal sandwich with disgust on her face.

"You gonna eat that?" Lilly asked over Miley's shoulder, grossed out.

"Of course," Oliver said as if it were the most natural thing in the world. He shook his head adding another layer of ham and an unidentifiable substance, "Girls."

"We weren't fawning over the pictures," Miley said rolling her eyes. "I mean like we normally do. We were cutting up Drew Evans pictures, I mean he's everywhere!"

Oliver, on the other hand, had just taken a bit of his colossal sandwich and choked slightly when Miley said that.

When Miley turned around and walked towards the couch, Oliver almost glared at Lilly and mouthed 'You too?'

Lilly shook her head, and gave a smile to Oliver.

"You know," Oliver said, his words muffled with the monster bite he had taken, "Drew might not be that bad. He could be...nice." Oliver swallowed and awaited the reply.

"Oliver, you don't know that," Miley said, turning on the TV. "How can you say that? That pretty boy face hides his true soul inside. For all you know, he could take candy away from little kids." Miley flipped the channel and an interview of Drew Evans came on. Miley screamed and dropped the remote as if it were on fire. "I told you he's everywhere!"

Oliver took another bite to avoid saying anything else. Lilly gave him a reassuring smile.

Lilly followed Oliver on his long journey home. The sun was just about to set, and a slight breeze was coming.

"Oliver, don't you think you should tell Miley your secret?" Lilly said, kicking a rock on the pavement.

Oliver kicked his own rock and it bumped into Lilly's, "No. Things will just get weird."

Lilly continued her rock kicking, "Well, maybe she'll stop hating Drew. Aren't you tired of her always talking about what a jerk he is?"

"Lilly, it's complicated. It's the publicity, and all the nonsense. And...Drew is gonna do a movie with Hannah." Oliver said.

"Really?" Lilly asked, "That's awesome! But that's not an excuse to not tell Miley. And, you know, if it's like a romance, don't you think it'll be a little awkward if she hates you?"

"Lilly, it's too complicated to explain. Can't we just avoid this situation?" Oliver asked, hopefully.

Lilly sighed, "Fine."

Oliver looked at the ground, his foot repeatedly kicked the rock. Oliver looked at Lilly, and started to say something, but she interrupted, "This is my house."

"Oh, right. Good night." Oliver said quietly.

"Good night, Oliver." She closed the door slowly, and it clicked shut.

"Way to chicken out, Oken." He kicked the rock as far as it could go, and dissappeared from sight.

The next morning, Miley woke up to the sound of eggs frying. She sniffed the air, and didn't believe her nose. Her dad didn't usually cook unless he had big news. Miley jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs. She sat at the kitchen stool bar and put a smile on, making herself look as innocent as possible, "Morning, Daddy."

"Morning, Bud." Her father said, not taking his eyes off the eggs.

"So...any reason why you're cooking breakfast?" Miley asked, innocently.

Before he could answer, the phone rang. He picked it up and said, "Hello?" Then he immediately hung up and said, "Lilly in 10."

Miley got up and opened the front door. Lilly came in rolling on her skateboard.

"Sup, Miley. Mr. Stewart. Oo, eggs!" Lilly dropped her helmet onto the couch and took a seat next on the kitchen stool bar.

Miley took her seat, "Okay, Daddy. What's the big news?"

Robby Ray turned around and served the two girls fresh omelettes. "Now, if I told you that, it wouldn't be a secret."

"Daddy, come on! I can't stand secrets!" Miley cried. Lilly quickly stuffed a mouthful of omelette into her mouth.

"Okay, Miley. Hannah Montana is going to film a movie, called 'Blue Eyes' or something like that. Guess who's the leading man?" Robby Ray turned around and started washing the pan.

Miley squealed, "Jake Ryan?"

Robby shook his head, "Nope."

"Uh...Jesse McCartney?" Miley said.

"Wrong again."

"I give up!" Miley cried. She looked at Lilly. "Any idea?"

Lilly shook her head, even though she knew exactly who the leading man was.

"Daddy! Tell me!"

"OK, Drew Evans. Ya happy?" Robby said.

Miley burst out laughing. Lilly joined with a fake laugh. "Haha, that's funny, Mr. Stewart. Really, who is it?"

"I wasn't kidding. Drew Evans is the leading man."

Miley stopped laughing, and screamed, "WHAT?!"


Make me happy again! I mean...please review!
