"Now what are we doing?" Oliver asked eagerly as Miley purchased a light yellow, baby doll tank top from one of the many stores they have been into today. Lilly was doing all the helping, scoping out cute things for Miley to buy. She didn't seem to mind, though. Which she shouldn't, since it was her who decided not to buy anything because nothing else would fit in her suitcase, therefore, not being able to bring anything she bought home.
Miley didn't answer right away, just thanked the cashier and walked towards the exit, Oliver and Lilly following behind her. They got outside, and Miley scanned around. Her moving eyes stopped, and her face lit up. "Going into that boutique!" She exclaimed excitedly, pointing at a little boutique across the street. It had very flirty, colorful, sun dresses hanging in the window for display. She looked at her friends, waiting for them to share her enthusiasm.
Lilly bit her lip, and Oliver groaned while flinging his head back. "You said that was the last store!" He complained, "We've been shopping for hours! Can't we give it a break?" He asked, looking wide-eyed at Miley in frustration.
"B-but." She prupurously stuttered, sticking out her lower lip and giving him the infamous 'puppy dog pout'
Oliver rolled his eyes, "Not gonna work this time." He said, crossing his arms with an arrogant smirk on his face.
Miley sighed and looked desperately a Lilly for support, "Please tell him that he's being an idiot and that one more store isn't that big of a deal."
Lilly shifted uncomfortably where she was standing, trying to find a comfortable position in an uncomfortable situation. "Um, well." She started, looking back and forth between Miley and Oliver's glares. She sighed, "We have been shopping all day." She looked apologetically at Miley before continuing, "Why don't we give it a break. Go to the beach or something before it gets dark."
"Thank you!" Oliver called out in relief, throwing his hands in front of him and out at Lilly. She giggled nervously and looked back at Miley.
Miley rolled her eyes and sighed in defeat, "Fine!" She said, in a very displeased tone, crossing her arms and shooting dagars at Oliver, who was giving her faces and laughing happily like he just won the lottery.
"Wow, Oliver." Lilly said, furrowing her eyebrows, watching the over-excited boy. "You really hate shopping that much?" She asked in disbelief. She's never seen anyone so happy to stop shopping. And plus, he didn't get that aggravated with it when they went back home.
"Here, yes." He said, nodding his head and looking at her like it was the obvious explanation in the world. Lilly looked at him curiously, and he sighed aggitatically and continued, "We're in the Bahamas. Shopping. For four hours. Actually, I think it was even more!" He complained, throwing his hands up over his head and shaking his it disapprovingly. "Theres so much more better things to do."
Miley, who was walking far ahead, stopped and turned around. "Oliver, will you stop complaining already! We're not shopping anymore. You got what you wanted, so SHUT UP!" She yelled harshly, as Oliver immaturely stuck his tounge out at her.
Lilly giggled, un able to contain it. It was funny watching them argue over something so stupid like shopping. "Okay guys, thats enough." Lilly said, still giggling. Miley rolled her eyes and continued to walk ahead. "Miley!" Lilly called out, running to catch up. "Wait!"
Miley turned around, still looking very displeased. "Yes?" She asked, agitated.
Lilly noticed the tone in Miley's voice, but shook it off, "Just wait, okay?" She said, looking at Oliver and waited for him to catch up. When he noticed them waited, he purposely slowed down, occasionally stopping completely, pretending to be interested in something on the sidewalk. "OLIVER!" Lilly screamed, throwing her arms out in frustration. He started picking up the pace again, laughing, until he reached them.
"You are so annoying." Lilly laughed playfully, rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
"AGREED!" Miley laughed along, already over the little spat they had. "So, were beachin' it?" Miley asked, regaining her happy-go-lucky attitude she had earlier when they were shopping.
"Oh yeahhhhh." Oliver said, while Lilly laughed, pointing down indicating that he already has his bathing suit bottoms on and was ready to go.
"Yeahhh." Miley said, shaking her head at Oliver, slightly laughing. "Me and Lilly have ours on too."
"Then we're all set!" Oliver said excitedly, clapping his hands together. Miley and Oliver high-fived each other.
"Um, guys." Lilly interrupted, looking skeptical. Oliver and Miley stopped, in looked at Lilly in confusion. "Where exactly is the beach from here?" They all looked at each other, waiting for one to answer. All there was were blank stares.

"Go to the beach! Great idea!" Miley said sarcastically, scolding Lilly for her idea. "If we just continued shopping like I wanted to then -"
"Oh, please." Oliver interrupted, "I'd rather be stuck here then be shopping with you."
Miley gasped, "Hey! It wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be here!"
"Yeah, thanks a lot!" Oliver retorted, stretching his arms out and moving them, making clear the issue they were in right now.
"Well If you -" Miley began to argue back.
"GUYS!" Lilly cut it, "This isn't helping."
Miley and Oliver both crossed there arms and turned there backs to each other. Lilly groaned, how where they going to get anywhere if Miley and Oliver kept fighting? She looked around, the sun was now setting, so everything looked a bit orange-ish. She had no idea where they were, nor did Miley and Oliver. They should of just went back to the hotel, or maybe just sucked it up and kept shopping with Miley. But, it was too late now. They were in a big open cement circle, it kind of looked like a parking lot. Then, she got an idea.
"Miley! Your cellphone!" She screamed out in excitement, startling both her friends. Why hadn't she thought of this before! She felt so stupid.
"Yeah, what about it?" Miley asked in confusion, still a little heated about the last spat with Oliver.
"DUH!" Oliver hit his head with hand, "To call for help!" He sneered at Miley, making fun of her for not understanding.
"Exactly!" Lilly exclaimed, smiling and flipping the cellphone open. "What's your dad's number?" Lilly asked, looking at Miley.
"NO!" Miley yelling, snatching the cellphone out of Lilly's hands. "He'll KILL us for getting lost! He probably won't trust us anymore and we'll be stuck in the hotel for the next two weeks!"
Lilly and Oliver exchanged glances. They both new Miley was right. So, they had to do it. Call the one other person they knew here who could drive. They all looked at each other and Miley sighed heavily, flipping her cellphone open and dialing numbers.
After a couple of rings, groans, and lip bites from Miley, he finally answered. "Um, Jackson?" Miley asked cautiously, giving Lilly and Oliver a 'wish me luck' look. They smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Miley wondered away, and Lilly and Oliver could the distant yells of her negotiating with her brother.
"Think he'll do it?" Oliver looked at Lilly, his eyebrows raised.
She shrugged, "I don't know." She looked at Miley is the distance, then back at Oliver. "And besides, will he even be able to find us?"
Oliver thought for a minute, coming to the realization that if they had no idea where they were then how was Jackson going to? "Good point." He said, nodded his head slowly. He turned his head to look at Lilly, "So, um, are we okay?" He asked, looking right down to his fingers and figiting with them.
Lilly turned and looked and watch him figit around with his fingers before answering, "Yeah. Why wouldn't we be?" She asked, but she knew exactly why they wouldn't be. Well, not exactly. She still couldn't find out why Oliver had been such a jerk about the whole 'Peter' thing. Miley had said he was jealous, but looking at Oliver now she thought that was impossible. He didn't like her like that, couldn't like her like that. She felt herself pondering that question a lot lately, and she couldn't figure out why. Sometimes she would find herself thinking Oliver looked cute, with his signature collared shirt underneath a normal one, the way his hair fell over his eyes – Okay, STOP! She hated thinking like that. Because Oliver was her best friend, and thats it. Right..?
He still didn't look at her, and spoke to the ground, "Well, you know. The night club and that kid.." He shrugged, and looked up at her.
"Yeah, well, I'd rather not talk about him." She said, shaking the memory of that two-timing rat out of her head. How did she like him? "But, why did you care so much anyways?" There. She said it. The question thats been haunting her since the night of the night club incident.
"I, uh, well.." He stuttered, thinking of something to come up with. He, himself, hadn't even known why he was so angry about that. He hadn't really cared before when Lilly had a boyfriend, well, not too much anyways.
"Guys, he's on his way!" Miley excitedly ran up to them, interrupting before Lilly could hear Oliver's explanation. She suddenly felt anger towards her preppy friend. "Apparently were not that far away from the Hotel.. Jackson knows where we are." Miley continued, looking away, wondering whether or not her brother was going to pull through.
"Great." Oliver said blankly.
"Yeah, great." Lilly repeated in the same tone as Olivers.
Miley looked skeptically between her two best friends. She thought they at least they would be happy about getting back to the hotel, or maybe even mad that they hadn't realized how close they were. She was snapped out of her thoughts when a black rental car pulled up beside them.
"You owe me so big!" They heard Jackson yell from the window. Miley rolled her eyes, and Lilly let out a small giggle as they hopped in the car, ready to just get back.

Okay, I seriously don't know what I think about this chapter. I don't know where it came from, I just kind of wrote and thats what came to me. Aha. I just wanted to make all of them be a part of it, and tone the relationship drama down a bit. I'm not so sure about the whole Oliver and Miley fighting thing. I don't know why I did it. It just kind of went along with the story. I know it's usually Lilly and Oliver fighting, so that might upset some people. Sorry! I did add a little Loliver in there, though. Hoped you liked it :)
