"Goodnight everybody!" Hannah waved and walked off stage.

"Good job, Hannah," Kevin pulled her into a hug the second she stepped backstage. "You were awesome!"

"Thanks," she smiled and turned to Nick. Now she had a dilemma. Does she hug Nick too? Would that be too awkward? Has is been long enough past the break-up that it would be okay? Does she just stand there and do nothing?

Her problems were solved when Nick made the first move and gave her a hug anyways, "The concert was great, Hannah."

Hannah's knees wobbled a bit as she melted into Nick's hug. After all this time he still had that effect on her. But he pulled away too soon. "So thanks again for opening for me tonight. Everyone loved the Jonas Brothers. Although, maybe not the shirt…" Hannah said. "Where is Joe anyways?"

"The last time I saw him, he was in the back room moping," Kevin said. "That was really harsh of Lola."

Roxie came over then and told Hannah her limo was ready.

"Do you guys want a ride?" Hannah asked the boys.

"I have to drive my car back, but Nick and Joe can ride in the limo," Kevin said.

"Sure, I'll go get Joe," Nick said and walked off. Hannah stared at the back of his head, and the pain she was expecting came.

Kevin shook his head, "You love him."

Hannah snapped out of her daze, "What?"

"Just admit," Kevin pressed on, "you are still in love with Nick."

"I…" Hannah dropped her head. It wasn't until Kevin said those words did she realize just how true they were. "So what if I am?"

"Well why don't you get back together?!"

"He's in love with someone else. And she's perfect."

"Nobody's perfect, Hannah."

"Trust me, she is."

They started walking outside to the parking lot. Fans surrounded the sidewalks and camera flashes went off on Hannah. She half-heartedly waved at them before opening the door of the limo.

"Take my advice and tell Nick how you feel," Kevin said. Hannah knew he was right.

Just then, Nick walked out the door dragging a sulking Joe behind him.

"On second thought," Kevin put an arm around Joe, "why don't I take this piece of mess with me and Nick can ride with Hannah. Alone." He winked at Hannah and dragged Joe away.

Nick and Hannah both climbed in and sat down on the leather seats. The limo drove off and neither of them said a word. Hannah took deep breaths to build up the confidence she needed to tell Nick about her feelings. Finally, she opened her mouth to speak, but before she could get a sound out, her phone started ringing. The caller ID flashed Miley's name. That girl sure has great timing. Hannah pressed the answer button then turned on the speakerphone.

"Hi Miley," Hannah said.

"Hey Miles," Nick called.

"Hi. Is that you, Nick?" Miley said.

"Yup."

There was a soft murmur that could be heard before Miley said, "So Lola and Lilly were bugging me to ask you this. Did Lola's plan…work?"

"Sure did," Hannah sighed. Was this really worth breaking Joe's heart though?

Through the phone Hannah and Nick could hear a faint cheer followed by a smack, then an "ouch!" and finally a soft "sorry."

Nick laughed, "What's going on?"

Miley laughed as well, "Lola and Lilly are excited that the plan worked on Joe. One down, two to go, you know? Anyways, they tried giving each other a high five, but they missed and Lilly hit Jake in the face."

"Jake is with you?" Nick asked, jealousy dripping in his voice. Then he added as afterthought, "And Lilly?"

"Yeah, they decided to drop by tonight."

Hannah watched Nick's expression turn sad. All the confidence she had built up a minute ago were all gone now. How could she tell him she still loved him when he was so deep in love with Miley?

"Okay, is that all then?" Hannah said.

"Yeah," Miley replied. "I'll talk to you later then. See you tomorrow Nick!"

"Bye," Nick and Hannah both said and Hannah pressed the red button.

Nick sank in his seat, "Love stinks."

"Uh huh," Hannah dropped her head back on the headrest. Why did they all have to be in love with the wrong person? She heard Kevin's voice in her head again, Take my advice and tell Nick how you feel.

Hannah shook her head at the voice and instead said to Nick, "I think you should tell Miley."

"What?"

"Yeah. Because who knows? Maybe Miley loves you too."

"She only thinks of me as her best friend. And besides, how am I supposed to compete with Jake?"

How am I supposed to compete with Miley? Hannah thought. Kevin was probably right though, she should tell Nick about her feelings. But she was too chicken now. So she will pass the advice on, "Take my advice and tell Miley how you feel."

Nick turned and looked Hannah in the eye. A shiver went down her spine. He sighed, "You really think so?"

"Hey, it's worth the try."

"Miley, um, is Lilly okay?"

Miley turned from her locker to see Oliver standing there nervously. She laughed, what did Lola do today? "Yeah, why?"

"Today and yesterday, she's been acting kind of strange," Oliver said.

"Really?" Miley played along,

"I mean, she just doesn't seem like Lilly anymore. She's like super smart now, but she can't even balance on a skateboard anymore, and since when did she ever wear dresses to school?"

"Huh."

"So you don't know anything about this?"

"…nope."

"Okay then," Oliver walked off.

Nick walked up to Miley after Oliver left, "Wow, Oliver hasn't figured it out yet? He's got all the evidence right in front of him."

Miley smiled and shrugged, "That's Oliver for you."

Nick then took deep breaths and tried to build up the confidence to do what he came here to do in the first place. Tell Miley the truth. He decided to take Hannah's advice after all. "Hey Miley, are you doing anything tonight?" he asked. A walk on the beach under the moonlight should soften Miley up, right? And rejection doesn't hurt as bad in the dark…

"Actually, Lilly is bored out of her minds staying up in Hollywood so we're all going over for a Monopoly game."

"Again? Aren't we all Monopoly-obsessed enough?" Nick joked, trying to hide his disappointment.

"It's fun and it passes time," Miley said. "You and your brothers are invited too. Will you come?"

"Sure," Nick never really could say no to Miley. "I think it would be good for Joe too."

"Oh, speaking of which, how is he?" Miley asked, concerned.

"Besides the broken heart?"

"Aw, I feel so bad now."

"You can't make everyone happy, Miley. There will always be those unlucky ones," Nick said and thought, Like me.

"Okay, well come to the Ryan's house tonight and make sure to bring Joe. Monopoly with friends is the best medicine!" Miley said. She shut the locker and walked off.

"Yeah…" Nick dropped his head. Looks like he won't be confessing anything any time soon.

"You're going out on a school night?" Robby Ray asked.

"Please, Daddy?" Miley begged. "It's the last week before break anyways. We aren't even doing anything at school. And, I finished all my homework at school. So can I go?"

"You are a senior in high school now, and almost 18 years old. Your old Daddy can't make decisions for you anymore. Do what you want, Miley, because tonight is bowling night."

Miley laughed, "Oh yeah, I forgot. You and Mr. Jonas always bowl on Tuesdays."

Mr. Stewart picked up his bowling shoes, "You bet. Hey, is Jackson going with you?"

"I don't know," Miley walked upstairs and into her brother's room. "Jackson, are you coming for a Monopoly match tonight?"

"Okay, first of all, do you know how dorky that sounds?" Jackson laughed. He sprayed some cologne and fixed his hair, "And second, no I am not going because Lilly and I are having a movie night."

"What?!" Miley gasped. She quickly tried to cover it up when Jackson looked at her funny, "Uh, I mean…what...what movie are you seeing?" Nice save, right?

"Lilly said she wanted to see some gory movie with blood and guts and stuff."

Miley shuddered just at the thought.

Jackson smiled, "I know right? How perfect is Lilly? What other girl in the world likes scary movies where body parts are detached?"

"Okay, that's enough," Miley left the room before the mental image of an arm being ripped off made her sick. She was just in time to see Lola walk into the house.

"Lola!" she whispered, making sure Jackson didn't hear. "Why are you on a movie date with Jackson? You're suppose to be making him not love you, remember?"

Lola sighed, "He asked me and I tried to scare him off by saying I wanted to watch bloody, graphic, nasty stuff. But then he just got more excited and now I'm stuck spending my Tuesday night with Jackson while all of you are playing the fun game of real estate trading." She pouted.

"I feel for you," Miley said. "Maybe you can think up a new plan for Jackson since the plan for Joe went even better than expected."

"Yeah, who knew an ugly shirt could be so powerful?" Lola laughed. Then she realized Miley wasn't laughing.

"Lola," Miley said slowly, "I think you should go apologize to Joe. You tricked him and made a total fool of him in front of hundreds of people. It really hurt him. As if rejection wasn't enough to break his heart. He really loved Lilly."

"I guess you're right," Lola looked in the direction of his house. She dragged her feet and walked up to the door. The Jonas's door is always open, so Lola opened it and let herself in.

Kevin saw her first, "Hello, Lola. Looking for Joe?"

She nodded.

"He's upstairs, but good luck talking to him. You might want to hide by the door in case he throws something at you."

"Haha," Lola faked a laugh, but the thing was: she believed Kevin.

Joe's door was closed and Lola knocked lightly on it.

"Nick, I told you. Leave. Me. ALONE!" Joe's voice bellowed.

Lola took a deep breath, "Uh, Joe. It's me," she called out in her best Lilly voice.

There was silence on the other side before Joe said, "What do you want?"

"I came to apologize. I—"

The door flew open before Lola could finish and Joe stared down at her angrily, "Look, I get it. You don't like me. You would rather have Oliver or Jackson. Understood. But why couldn't you just tell me? You had to deceive me and humiliate me in front of all those people. I…why would you do that, Lilly? I thought…I thought you were better than that," his voice trailed off.

"I'm really sorry, Joe. I really am. And I did that stupid trick I did because I wanted to spare you heartbreak…but I guess that failed."

"Spare me heartbreak?"

"I thought this would make you hate me. I would rather you hate me than…than…" Lola pointed to Joe. "This." Joe was a mess. His hair was sticking this way and that, his shirt was wrinkled and he was wearing an old, fading pair of sweatpants. There were faint bags under his eyes from lack of sleep and all the color drained from his face. It made Lola hurt just seeing him like that.

Joe closed his eyes and shook his head, "I don't think you understand how much I loved you, Lilly."

"I don't think I do either. And I'm so sorry I didn't give us a chance. We can still be friends right? Maybe sometime we could—"

"Just don't talk to me anymore," Joe slammed the door in her face.

It was thirty minutes into the Monopoly game and everyone was having a blast. Even heartbreak Joe was grinning every once in a while.

Miley and Oliver were obviously winning. They each had a good stack of money on the table in front of them as well as a handful of properties. Joe and Lilly were obviously losing. A few more rounds and they'll be bankrupt. Then there were the rest of them, Jake, Hannah, and Kevin, not winning, not losing, just staying in the game. And then there's Nick, who has been in jail since round 2.

Five minutes later, Lilly finally lost. She sighed, stood up and walked into the kitchen. Opening the cupboard, she took out a giant mug and started mixing herself a cup of hot chocolate. She stuck the cup into the microwave, and before the timer went off, Joe walked into the kitchen as well.

"Did you lose, too?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah, Oliver got me."

"Well, we lasted long, huh?" The timer went off then and Lilly carefully took her hot chocolate out. She turned to Joe, "Would you like some too?"

"Sure," Joe sat down on one of the counter stools, body language for 'no, I don't want to make my own, will you do it?'

Lilly got out another packet of hot chocolate mix and another mug, fixing up another cup of the warm drink. While Joe's cup was being heated, Lilly added the finishing ingredients to her own cup, making her special cocoa. The special ingredients? Five white chocolate chips and half a teaspoon of honey.

Joe watched her mix them together and said, "Hey, you make it just like Lilly does."

Lilly almost dropped her spoon. She didn't look up and just shrugged. "Um, Lilly made some for me and I liked it. So I've been making it this way since," she lied.

"It's good. Really sweet, but good," Joe smiled.

After she finished adding the chocolate and the honey to Joe's cup, they both headed back into the living room where the Monopoly game was currently being played.

"I would like to buy another house, please."

"AGAIN?!"

"Dang, Miley. You and Oliver are demolishing us!"

"You got that right!"

"That's so not fair, I'm getting poorer and poorer."

"Is this game rigged?"

"GET ME OUT OF JAIL!!!"

Lilly laughed at all the commotion over a little board game. Her friends took this way too seriously. She walked towards the backyard and noticed that Joe was following her. They stepped outside, shut the glass door behind them and sat down on the patio step.

It was comfortably silent outside. The stars shined brightly, the full moon hung in the middle of the sky; a soft cricket song could be heard. Besides the random outbursts from the game still inside, it was a peaceful night.

Joe broke the silence first, "We're such losers."

"Yeah. I don't think I've ever won," Lilly sighed.

"No, that's not what I meant," Joe said. "We're a group of high school seniors and college students and we spend our free time playing Monopoly?"

Lilly laughed, "We're pretty lame."

They sat outside, drinking their hot chocolate and having small talk here and there. It was perfect. Lilly and Joe could spend time together without all the awkwardness because she was hiding as Lola. They could be friends again because Joe didn't know who she really was.

"You're really funny, Lola," Joe said after a while. "You're pretty cool."

Lilly smiled, "Since when was I not?"

He laughed, "Yeah…you definitely have Jake's ego. No wonder you're related."

"Hey!" she pretended to take offense and slapped his arm.

"Ouch." Joe yawned then. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Man, this hot chocolate is making me tired."

"Or maybe I drugged it," Lilly said mysteriously.

Joe gave her a strange look before he laughed, "Or maybe it's because I didn't get any sleep last night."

"Why?"

Joe dropped his head, and suddenly his happy mood was replaced by the old depressed mood he's been feeling all day. "Nothing."

A sudden stab of guilt hit Lilly's stomach, "Is this about…Lilly?"

He stayed silent. A yes.

"Come on, Joe. Get over her," she said. "Trust me, she's not worth it. You deserve so much better."

He looked up, but didn't say anything.

Lilly smiled, comfortingly, "And besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Take my advice and find another girl, someone better." Please, Lilly thought, find someone else. Someone who will love you back.

His frown disappeared, but he still wasn't convinced. Lilly walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him. Joe was surprised at the hug at first, but he welcomed it. It was a long day, he needed a hug.

It pained her to see him broken like this. "Promise me, Joe. Promise me that you won't spend another minute moping over Lilly. Promise me that you will move on," Lilly desperately whispered.

He pulled her in closer and shed a single tear. The last tear for Lilly. They pulled apart and Joe grin weakly, "I promise."

Lilly sighed, happy she wasn't causing him pain anymore, "Good."

"And thanks, Lola. For making me laugh, making me happy again. And the hot chocolate too."

"Well, you're welcome," she smiled and walked back inside.

Joe stared after her, a smile slowly creeping over his face. How easily a heart could break, and how easily a heart can beat again. Joe has forgotten all about Lilly, his newly healed heart now beats for Lola.

Yes, he was moving on alright.

Gasp. Haha. Don't you just want to yell at Joe, "SHE'S LILLY!"?

Summary of So Far: Joe doesn't like Lilly anymore, he likes Lola, but Lola IS Lilly, he just doesn't know that. Lilly and Lola still don't like any boy. Jackson is head over heels in love with Lilly/Lola. Oliver is on the edge of figuring out the switch. Hannah still likes Nick, Nick still likes Miley, Miley is still in love with Jake, and Jake…remember his little secret he told Amy?

Another thing, AHigherOctave commented on how I don't have a Mike Stanley III. After I read that, I literally slapped my forehead. How could I have Hannah and Lola but not Mike? Biggest brain fart ever. But I already planned the whole story line of LMN, so do you think I should just add in Mike in a couple chapters or have him appear at the end in the epilogue?
