Sorry I haven't updated in a few days, I've been working on my other fanfic "Europe is a fairytale"
I got the inspiration for this in my math's class today at school :P You know when you have an idea and you need to write it down before you forget it? Well it was one of those moments so I was sat in math's, writing this chapter lol
In science I just read my friends magazine with her... it makes me wonder what I go to school for :P
Please enjoy x

Lilly POV
I was having an Ashley Simpson SNL moment. The spotlight was aimed at me (this school should consider investing in new lights, me and Miley were always saying the flickering was docking our IQ points), an imaginary audience gasped and I felt I was on a sitcom.
Jackson was still looking at me with shocked and questionable eyes and I wished I could be anywhere but here.
Should I lie to him? It would make things better, I would be his sister's best friend again, the one who was dorky and wouldn't have looked at me if I wasn't at his house 24/7. Had a volcano erupted within me and lava had rushed to my cheeks, making them painfully burn? I was alone, isolated if you will and the clock was ticking.
Say something Truscott! He's only human! Miley might disagree but it was true.
"Lilly?"
Winning a skating final under enormous pressure I could do, admitting to Jackson Stewart I liked him was much harder.
"Is it true?"
Yes I should tell him. Why didn't I just watch the dang video in Health!? I would be happily throwing up in the toilet right now.
Jackson waved a hand in front of my face.
"I-I erm." I stuttered stupidly. This was perfect, I couldn't even speak.
His eyes widened in realization and I felt like shutting myself into a locker and screaming until I was deaf or lost my voice … whatever happened first.
Crikey! I was turning Australian now … dang; crikey what other culture could I throw in there? Bollocks. Oh look some English too!
I was pondering all of this when Jackson took the last step and kissed me.
Oliver POV
She kissed him? She KISSED him? Like on the mouth? Please tell me they didn't use tongues. Oh no, did Miley-
I had to stop this! Platonic, platonic, platonic! I despised that word, I despised the person who created that word and I despised that dictionary that printed it and brought it upon the world without any consideration.
What was going to happen now? Were they together? Like boyfriend, girlfriend? Would I have to cope with seeing them hold hands and whisper in each others ears and smile that special smile at each other every single day of my life! Would I have to see them kiss? Her beautiful mouth on his was too much for me to stomach and since I can digest almost anything, was making a serious statement.
Nu-uh. No way.
I wonder what happened to me only liking her as a sister? That wall came crumbling at my feet when I overheard Lilly and Miley talking. What was I thinking letting her be alone with Jake Ryan? I should have known he'd make a move and try to claim her like a TV award. He'd stuff her and hang her up on the wall like a decoration. Maybe that is a step too far but, I have now decided, he doesn't deserve her.
At least I can admit I don't deserve her.
Who does she deserve?
Well someone who makes her happy for a start.
Did Jake make her happy? She was standing right there, why can't I just ask her?
Maybe I am afraid of the answer.
Was it really fate? Were they really meant to be?
I demand answers! People were too complex, wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone just laid there emotions out before them like a jigsaw puzzle and I could shuffle up the pieces and make Jake Ryan back into the cocky, arrogant, TV star he once was?
Miley was stood right there. I was so close but I had never been more far away. I was the dorky, slightly (ok major) annoying donut who made her laugh when she was down, smile when she was sad, pick her up when her wings forgot how to fly and yet … that's all I'd ever be. A friend.
I thought I was ok with that, I really did. I'd rather have her in my life like she was now than not at all. I could not risk losing her completely.
She's said to me before … well Lilly as well that she would always be here for us no matter what and that we'd be best friends for ever and ever.
She made it sound so easy. In reality it just doesn't function like that. Our bubble was popping and it was all my fault. My heart had decided to give itself away with my darn permission. I never agreed to like my best friend, it just happened. One day I just woke up and saw her in a different light. A really, spectacular, glowing light that ignited a flame in my chest, an ever-burning fire that would never really fade as long as she was in my life.
Could I ever manage to get over her? Was it even possible? In time would my feelings grow stronger or just disappear? I needed to know these things, it was kind of important.
She met my eyes and smiled. She made me smile too even though I couldn't see why I had the need to smile.
Jackson and Lilly were around the corner … wow I had been so distracted I had no idea what the heck was going on. Lilly would accuse me of being self-involved and being the mayor of sleepy town but it was hard work trying to deal with all of these feelings, especially when you were a rookie and didn't know what to do.
Please let me see her as only a friend again. I miss the last time I could look at her without my heart thumping and speak to her without my voice cracking. I miss the time my thoughts were about food and not of her and I could actually eat a meal without her distracting me.
I never knew I had so many emotions. I was a plane waiting to crash, a ship waiting to sink and I needed a parachute or a life jacket to save me before I was completely gone.
What was the cure to heartbreak? Someone should invent one. Girls say chocolate and a girly slumber party should do the trick but when you're a guy, no one thinks you can have true feelings so the antidote is kind of unsolved.
I'm going to make it my life ambition, on the side of opening up my own candy store, to help every single guy out there who fell for there best friend.
It wasn't my fault, she tripped me. I used to think that line was funny but now I despise it as much as the word platonic.
I wanted to say something, anything. Did she notice this was awkward? What was on her mind at this moment?
I was doing some serious fidgeting today. I couldn't say still.
She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
I stared back at her.
She looked at me even more confused.
My thoughts stopped for that single second. I was putting a halt to the traffic in my head, I needed to do something. Something I knew was not allowed when you were best friends, something that erased the borderline of platonic boy and girl and yet I couldn't stop it.
This was the only way I would ever find out.
I kissed her.
She didn't pull away but she didn't kiss me back either.
I prayed I wouldn't feel anything, my life at this moment depended on it.
But then I felt the fireworks and the explosions and the feeling you would only get when you kiss someone you like. I hated myself for feeling those things.
Miley POV
We left Lilly and Jackson alone, no doubt they needed there privacy no matter how much I wanted to give them a prod in the right direction.
It was left for best friend and big brother to find it out for themselves. At least Lilly knew I wouldn't have a nutty if they did get around to dating.
What she had told me made sense. Jake wouldn't leave me after declaring love right? He was so sincere at that moment; the greatest actor on earth could not have the look in his eyes when he told me those three little words that can change your life around.
It had changed my life around I just wasn't sure how.
Nothing was exactly official at this moment. Well, we were kind of binded in a way. The word binded is scary! It reminds me of a snake.
Ok so let's forget the word binded and use a much, sweeter simpler word.
I think I did like Jake Ryan, quite a lot after he kissed me. Its amazing how much can change in one kiss... well it was kind of steamy and it made me blush just remembering it but the point is my feelings changed.
I was actually excited about seeing him. Mr. Clark had kept him back for being an 'ego-maniac' although he didn't' call him that. Jake had watched me walk out of the door longingly; it was obvious he wanted to talk to me.
I'd wait until Lilly and Jackson began the journey of a new relationship before I barged around the corner, disrupting there moment and going to meet Jake outside the office.
I had to see what was going to happen next. I wasn't really a patient girl; my daddy could tell you that on Christmas morning.
Why was Oliver staring at me? I just suddenly noticed him out of the corner of my eye.
There was a lot of trauma going on today. What was his deal?
WAIT A MINUTE!
Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling!? Oliver's kissing me! My best friend is kissing me!
Where did that come from!? I couldn't move, I couldn't even close my eyes or pull away, I just stood as still as a plank, in complete shock.
"I'm sorry." He apologized as he eventually pulled back. How must time had just gone?
I just looked back at him blankly, not knowing what to do or say. I had never been speechless or actionless before.
He didn't know what to do with himself. He was appalled, mortified, perplexed, and unsure.
What was I meant to do? Start happy dancing around the corridor while he had a silent debate with himself.
When had my life become so confusing?
Jackson POV
I had to see if I felt the sparks and believe me when I kissed her my hair stood on end.
Who would have thought today I'd be kissing Lilly Truscott? I bet guys were jealous of me… if they actually knew.
Wow, she was a good kisser after she'd regained control of her mouth. It had kind of dropped when I first kissed her.
I liked to be unpredictable. It kept people on there toes. This was probably the most spontaneous I had ever been and let me tell you, the adrenaline rush was great.
It was the feeling you got when you braved a rollercoaster. Your scared, excited, thinking why did I do this but when you're done you get a sense of accomplishment.
Kissing Lilly was so much more.
Maybe she was my one. If Miley could hear me now, she'd diagnose me with diabetes as the amount of sugar I was spouting was light, fluffy and sweet.
Sugar was addictive and so was Lilly. I would never get tired of kissing her. I'm just glad I overhead her talking, it was the start of a new adventure and believe me this was going to be a journey.
I was glad I had got out of maths and offered to take those calculators. Destiny had my back you could say; it gave both me and Lilly a literal shove.
I wish it hadn't hurt so much when I landed on her but hey, at least that wouldn't be a problem any more.

Phew, that took me a while lol
Please review D Did you all like that chapter? I didn't think it was that good to be honest.
