A/N I feel like I'm going to be getting real into this story, even if no one reads… or reviews. I'm doing this solely for my pleasure!

No one's POV

Cameras were flashing, people were yelling. The minute she walked into the mall with the boys, they were bombarded by screaming fan girls and the paparazzi. She let out an exasperated sigh as she pushed herself through jealous fan girls. Jason was panicking, Nate just politely smiled and waved. Shane, on the other hand… that boy was milking it. Blowing kisses at the girls and stopping to take pictures with his fans. He loved them, especially the hot 18 year olds. Lilly turned around, only to have Shane run into her. It was at that moment, time stopped. All the fan girls let out a gasp in unison and pointed an accusing finger at her.

"OH. EM. GEE. YOU MADE SHANE FALL!" One of the crazed fan girls screamed, Lilly gave them all a dirty look. Shane had already gotten up, dusting the dust off of his clothes.

"Ladies. Ladies. Calm down. She's just a close friend," he said, emphasizing the word "close." The girls all let out a loud sigh, still glaring daggers at Lilly.

"SHANE HAVE MY BABIES!" He ignored that comment, as he held a hand out to help Lilly up. She reluctantly accepted it as he pulled her up. He had such a strong grip that he pulled her extremely close to him. He had his arms around her waist, as he stared at her surprisingly. He looked into her electrifying blue orbs, she was as shocked as he was. The shocked expression on Lilly's face was soon replaced by a cold glare, while as for Shane, he had a smirk plastered on his face.

"You know, if you wanted to be close to me, you could've came up with a better excuse," he whispered into her ear. She let out a loud huffed and pushed herself away from him. Nate and Jason were watching this encounter from afar, extremely amused. She stormed up to the two and grabbed them both by the arms, pulling them into a store. Shane following shortly behind.

Lilly's POV

Shane, that jerk! That egomaniac, big-headed, extremely gorgeous jerk! I just wanted to pull his eyes out. His gorgeous, dark brown pools of…MUD. Lilly, what are you thinking? He is the bane of your existence. He's…he's annoying, yeah. Plus a total jerk. He was totally milking it back there.

"I wonder if they sell birdhouses at the mall," Jason piped up, breaking me out of that thought. Nate and I gave him a weird look, he returned it with a giant smile.

"I think I'm the only sane one in the family," Nate quietly muttered to himself. I giggled and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's alright Nate. I think you're the only sane one too," I laughed. Shane finally caught up with us. He stopped, with his hands on his knees, bent over breathing heavily.

"Jeez. It looks like you were chased by a flock over birds!" Jason exclaimed. We all stared at him weirdly, again. The look in Shane's eyes was so funny, he looked frightened.

"HIDE," he said, when we heard loud screams. He pulled me by the arm, running after Jason and Nate.

"From what?" I exclaimed as he dragged me into the store.

"This is normal for us, but our fans are a little…crazy," Nate explained as we hid inside a costume store.

"Of all the hundreds of stores we have in this mall, you had to pull us into a costume shop," I said, glaring at Shane.

"What are we going to do? How are we going to get my birdhouse with all these fans chasing after us! What if we never get to leave? Oh my gosh. We'll never get to see Frankie, mommy, or daddy!" Jason started panicking, running frantically around the store.

"Calm down, Jase. We can get disguises here," Shane said nonchalantly. He pulled the aviators I had on, off of me and put them on. He took off his leather jacket, and pulled a beanie out of his pocket. He had on a white v-neck and some black skinny jeans. The v-neck fitted him perfectly and oh my gosh, is that a six-pack?

"Unlike some people though, I came prepared," he bragged. Nate and Jason glared at him.

"Come on Nate! Jase. I'll take you guys to go buy some hats and sun glasses. We have to hide your curly hair Nate," I suggested, as I pulled on Nate's arm. I looked over and saw Shane glaring at my hands coming in contact with Nate's arm. Jason grabbed my other hand and we walked out. We looked left and right to make sure no one saw us. Nate and Jason made sure they hid their faces as I ran into a store and bought what they needed.

Nate looked extremely cute in his baseball cap, aviators, crew neck sweater, and skinny jeans. Jason looked just as cute in his sombrero, sun glasses, plaid shirt and skinnies. Unfortunately, he wanted to be more festive. I couldn't get Shane out of my mind though. Even though his outfit looked like every other guy in SoCal, he was extremely attractive.

Lilly are you drooling?

What in the world! No I'm not!

Yes you are!

You know, you're really quite annoying.

It's only because I'm you.

I stomped on the floor in defeat, the three brother stared at me, each giving me a weird look. Nate chuckled, Jason just stared blankly at me, and Shane tried to suppress his laughter.

"Lillian Angelie Truscott, you will never change," Nate said as he put his arm around my shoulders. I couldn't help, but blush. Even though we were best friends as children, I still can't help but feel a little "star struck" hanging out with these boys. It was every girls' dream. Shane let out an awkward cough and we all stared at him.

"Well, why are we here? Aren't we suppose to, you know, get Jason his birdhouse or something…" He said awkwardly, looking at Nate's arm. I guess Nate saw that look and moved his arm.

"YAY, I could've sworn I saw a store with Birdhouses in them!" The eldest boy exclaimed with joy. This the one and only Jason Gray.

Shane's POV

After we got Jason's stupid birdhouse, we walked around the mall. Walking in and out of stores. I noticed Nate and Lilly were extremely close. There was always that gut wrenching feeling that hit me, but I think it's because I'm hungry. Yeah, that's probably it. Lilly looks extremely hot in her outfit. I bet she dressed up for me. Nate and Jason decided to leave to go get something to eat, but I decided I should stay back with my dearest Lillian.

"Lilliaaaan," I said in a sing-song voice. She turned around and her eyes narrowed. She really shouldn't glare so much.

"You know, if you glare a lot, your face might get stuck like that," I joked, tapping her nose gently with my finger.

"Shane Gray. I would kill you right now, but murder is illegal," she replied. Feisty.

"Let's commit the perfect crime then Lillian," I said, cooing her. Her facial expression softened. Barely. I leaned closer to her, my lips barely a centimeter apart from her ear.

"You steal my heart and I'll steal yours," I whispered softly. I pulled away slowly and saw that her face had completely turned crimson red. I placed my finger under her chin, and lifted her head so our eyes connected. I smiled as I kissed her on the cheek. I pulled away and I looked at her expression. She looked dazed, a goofy and small smile pasted on her face. Hooked.

Her soft angelic expression soon turned into a sour look.

"You know Shane, I'm not like every other girl out there. I'm not going to let you get into my pants," she said with a big smirk on her face. Okay, maybe that didn't hook her. Did she really think that I just wanted to get into her pants? Oh and I'm the egomaniac.

"Even if you wanted me to get inside your pants, I would never," I shot back. Lilly was such… a pessimist. We both had a glaring contest, standing our ground.

"Hah! In your dreams Gray. I can't believe stupid little 9 year old me fell for a dumb ass like you," she said with venom dripping from her words.

"WELL. I can't believe little handsome 'ole me actually even became friends with you. I can't even believe I agreed on coming back," I shot back with twice as much venom. For a second, there was a flash of hurt in her eyes, but as always, hatred had overcome that.

"Whatever, Gray," she said as she walked off into another direction. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now. My phone vibrated and I pulled it out.

I miss you :* - Miles

It's undeniable that she's hot, but she is extremely clingy. The way she talks and how she drags on her words is so irritating.

Hey babe. Miss you too.

I hit sent and immediately regretted it when I felt my phone vibrate not even 30 seconds later.

Do you want to come to the skate park later? Me, Lilz, and my friend Oliver are going there after she gets back from the mall!

Sure!

This seemed like an easy way to bug Lillian. Smiling to myself, I walked towards Lilly, poking her back when I got to her.

"Let's go home, I got plans," she said in a rush as she put her phone away. I nodded and follow her and my brothers to the car. This will be interesting.
