Okay, so I've been trying to post this chapter all day, this website just wouldnt let me, it got really annoying. But anyways, here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy:-)

Chapter 12-

The next morning, Lilly woke up face to face with a sleeping Miley. She grinned as she saw the small smile plastered on Miley's lips. Lilly shifted her right arm, realizing it was a tad sore, 'Oh well, she enjoyed it,' she grinned. She carefully leaned in and gave her girlfriend a soft kiss on the lips. 'Ow,' she thought as she massaged her jaw. 'My jaw hurts too? What did I exactly do to her last night?' she laughed to herself.

Miley stirred in her sleep, slowly opening her eyes. She grinned as she saw Lilly staring up at the ceiling massaging her jaw. "What'cha doin'?"

Lilly turned and smiled, "Hey, how you feeling?"

"Fine. But, uh…why are you massaging your jaw?"

Lilly blushed, "Why do you think?"

Miley laughed, "Oh yea, that was great," she leaned in to kiss Lilly. "You were on fire last night and I loved it," she grinned.

Lilly kissed her back, "I'm always on fire with you around."

"Well, you certainly made me feel much better," she ran her hand through Lilly's hair.

"Good to hear," she smiled. "I love you, Miley."

Miley smiled, biting her lower lip, "I love you too, Lilly." She continued to lovingly kiss her girlfriend.

Once they broke the kiss, Lilly ran both her hands through Miley's hair. "So…What do you want to wear today? Sweatpants? Pajamas? Something else?"

Miley thought about it for a minute, "I think sweatpants…and a looser shirt or something."

"Coming right up," she sat up, got dressed herself, and wondered over to Miley's dresser; picking out the perfect thing for her girlfriend to wear. "Here you go, Miles. This should be comfortable for you."

"Thank you," she smiled. "You know…you've never dressed me before."

Lilly grinned, "First time for everything." And with that, she helped Miley get dressed. "Now that you're dressed…what next?"

"Well, I'm kinda hungry…But I don't want to eat up here. Can you help me walk downstairs?" she smiled sweetly at her.

"Absolutely," she took both of her hands and carefully pulled her up, wrapping her arm around her for support. "Does that hurt?" she worried.

Miley gripped Lilly's shoulder, "A-a little bit…but, I'm okay."

They both started heading down the stairs, "I'll get you to the couch, don't worry."

When they got downstairs, Mr. Stewart was in the kitchen cookin' up one of Miley's favorite breakfast dishes. "Hey girls, sleep well?"

Miley grinned as she glanced at Lilly, causing her girlfriend to blush slightly. "Yea, we did."

"That's good. Anywho, I'm cookin' up your favorite, bud," he smiled.

"Chocolate chip pancakes??" she beamed.

"Yup, almost done making them too. You two have a seat and I'll bring them out for you."

"Thanks, Dad."

"Thanks, Mr. S," Lilly led Miley to the couch, laying her down.

Miley looked up at her with a questioning look, "Where are you going to sit?"

Lilly smiled, lifting up Miley's legs, "Your legs will be on my lap," she said as she set Miley's legs back down, on her lap.

Miley smiled back, "I could live with that."

Robbie Ray rolled his eyes as he laughed to himself. He picked up both plates and brought them over to the girls, "Here you go, girls. Nice, fresh pancakes."

"Sweet!" Lilly dug into them as soon as the plate reached her hands.

Miley laughed as she reached for the plate her Dad handed to her.

"Since you two are busy, I'm going to head out for a while."

"Okay, Daddy," Miley smiled.

He grabbed his car keys and cell phone, then headed out.

Miley looked back at Lilly as Lilly took the last bite of her pancakes. "You're finished already?"

Lilly smiled innocently, "I was hungry…"

Miley placed her own plate on the coffee table, "I'll finish that later…I can't eat a lot at once…"

"Ohh, that reminds me. You need to take your medicine," she got up, bringing her plate to the sink.

"Oh joy," Miley replied sarcastically.

"It'll calm the pain, sweetheart," she got the medicine and a glass of juice for her. Miley took it and gulped down the pill. "That's better, Miles," she reclaimed her seat by Miley.

Miley grinned, "Come here," she said seductively.

She licked her lips as she smiled, crawling on top of her girlfriend. "Still wanting more?"

"Always." They closed the gap between them; sharing a long, deep kiss. They both giggled, not breaking the kiss, as hands started to roam all over. Miley was just about to pull down Lilly's jeans as the door swung open.

"Hello??" Oliver called to no one in particular.

Lilly jumped and fell off Miley, landing on the floor, "Oliver!"

His face turned red as he realized he probably just interrupted something, "Oh…sorry…"

Miley tried not to laugh as Lilly stood up, "Good one, Oken."

"It's not my fault you two are always all over each other," he smiled.

"You could knock," Lilly replied.

"It would've been less funny," he walked over and leaned against the back of the couch. "Feeling any better?" he asked Miley.

"Yea…Lilly made me feel much better last night," she smiled over at Lilly.

Oliver grinned, "That is so ho"— the girls looked over at him in disgust. "Uh…never mind…" he blushed again. "Oh, can I see your scar??" Lilly hit him upside the head, "Ow…"

Miley laughed, "You're such a doughnut. So, what brought you here anyways? Don't you have school to be at?"

"We weren't doing anything in class, so I called my Mom to ask if she could sign me out for the hour. I wanted to check to see if you were okay. EVERYBODY is talking about you."

"Do Amber and Ashley feel bad?" Lilly asked.

"Actually, yes. Amber hasn't really been talking, but Ashley is trying to cheer her up."

"Well, she should feel bad," Miley added. "Jake could've killed Lilly."

"Or you…" Lilly said sadly. She lay back down on top of Miley; Miley wrapped her arms around her.

Oliver smiled softly, "It's okay now…you're both safe."

Lilly buried her face into Miley's neck as Miley rubbed her back softly, "Still…"

Oliver checked his watch, "Well, I'm gonna head out. That way you two can fool around in private, and I can grab something to eat…I missed breakfast."

"Alright. Are you stopping by again after school?"

"I could try. So, I'll see you ladies later," he walked towards the door.

"Bye," both girls said to him as he left. "So…" Miley ran her hand up Lilly's shirt. "Where were we?"

"You were about to slide my pants down," she smiled.

"Oh yea," she grinned, sliding down Lilly's jeans. She pressed her lips against Lilly's as she gave her girlfriend full pleasure.

Lilly moaned loudly into Miley's mouth; she gripped onto her waist tightly.

Nearly twenty minutes later, the girls were snuggling under a blanket watching TV. Miley kissed Lilly on the cheek, "Love you."

"Love you too," she gently kissed Miley's left hand. She examined the ring she gave her the night before. "Do you really like the ring?"

Miley looked at her, "Of course I do. I love it, Lilly."

"Yay," she smiled.

Just then they heard a car door shut, "Sounds like my Dad's home."

Robbie Ray walked in, "I'm back."

"Have fun, Daddy?"

"I just checked in on Hannah things, but yea, I suppose I had fun. I have some work to do, so you two can watch TV, a movie, or something.

"Can you put it in for us?" Miley asked, giving him her cute puppy dog eyes.

He laughed, "You know I can't resist that look," he walked over to the DVDs. "Which movie?"

"Is 'Walk the Line' down here?"
He double checked, "Yup," he picked it up and placed it in the DVD player. "Enjoy," he left the room to do his work.

An hour into the movie, the girls fell into a deep sleep. Miley's arms were wrapped securely around Lilly with Lilly's hands placed on Miley's hands. Robbie Ray walked back into the room, smiling as he saw the girls. He quietly walked to the TV to shut the movie off. After putting the DVD away, he looked back over at the girls. He smiled, took out his cell phone, and took a picture. "I'll show them the picture when they wake up," he said to himself. Then he shut off the lights in the living room and went out for a jog.

Hours passed and Miley woke up to Lilly's lavender smelling hair; a smile swept across her face instantly. She kissed the back of her head, "Lilly?"

Lilly moved a little and her eyes fluttered open, "What time is it?" she asked tiredly.

She looked at the clock on the wall, "Well, let's just say that Jackson should be home from school soon."

"We slept a lot," she kept her position. It was too heavenly to move.

"Oh well," she kissed her again.

Lilly shifted so she could kiss Miley on the lips.

Then Jackson came home, "Are you two always making out?" he asked in amusement.

"Yes," Miley replied, then continued to kiss Lilly.

"Well can you stop sucking face for a second? You have mail."

They broke the kiss to look at him, "I'll look at it later, okay?"

He walked over and held it out for her to take, "It's from Jake…"

Miley looked at it for a few seconds before she reached out to take it. "…I don't know if I really want to read this…"

"Want me to open it for you?" Lilly asked.

"Okay…" She watched Lilly open. "I'll read it…"

"You sure?"

"Yea…" she took the letter and read it out loud; it read—

Dear Miley—I know nothing I say in this letter will ever convince you to forgive me. In fact, I don't want you to. I hate myself so much for what I did to you. Once my sanity returned, I was so scared that I killed you. I was glad to hear that you were okay…but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. I really love you, Miley. But, I'll never be good enough for someone as wonderful as you. I still don't like Lilly…I never will. She has everything anyone could possibly want. And that's you. But because of what I've done, I've been sentenced for twenty years. Two more years in juvi and off to prison. I deserve it…And of course there's that restraining order your Dad put on me. You'll never have to worry about me hurting you, or anyone else, ever again. I hope you have all the happiness in the world. Even if it comes from Lilly. Good-bye, Miley… --Jake Ryan.

Miley and Lilly looked at each other. She placed the letter in her lap and sighed, "At least he won't be around us anymore…"

Lilly hugged her, "It was actually decent of him to write to you…But I still strongly dislike him."

"Same here…" she put the letter back in the envelope. "I'm just glad you'll be safe."

"We both are. And you know I'll always be around to protect you," she kissed Miley softly on the lips
