Chapter 17

Lilly POV

We were still standing at the door way of the girl's shelter when something popped into my head.

"Rose, what are they going to wear? What are we going to use for diapers?" I asked her.

"Well, why don't you look in that suitcase?" She said smiling and pointing towards a purple suitcase that was under hers. I walked over and gently opened the suitcase to find multiple outfits for baby girl and boys. Under the clothes there were many packages of diapers, baby food, there were rattles, toys, and a little mat with animals on it.

"Aww these are so cute! You have a lot of stuff in her." I said.

"Well, my mom doesn't have enough money for baby things so my dad gave me money and I got to buy anything I wanted." She said.

"Well Rose the guys and me do have something to give to you." Lex said. He walked out of sight and then the guys moved out of the way to let Lex through. He pulled a little baby crib made out of logs and branches that was 3ft off the ground and had a blanket in the bottom. It was big enough for two babies to sleep in and not fall out of.

"You guys, its perfect! Thank you." Rose said. She handed Ava to me and April to Melissa and went over and put 2 pillows in the bottom of it. She then took April and put her and then took Ava and put her in as well. She stood up and gave the guys a big group hug. "Thank you to everyone. I wouldn't have made it without all of you. I love you all. " She said.

"I love me too." Taylor said. Everyone laughed and we all got up and gave each other a huge group hug. We stood there for a minute just hugging each other.

"This might sound crazy but I have enjoyed being on this island." I said. "I mean it. I met some of my best friends here, I met my boyfriend here, my cousin and I became really close, I don't have to worry about school or Hannah Montana, I just really like it here." Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.

"By the way Lilly," Jackson started to say, "Happy Birthday." I smiled. I just remembered it was my birthday. Ava and April were born on my birthday.

"This is the best birthday ever." I said. Jackson gave me a hug and when he let he kept his arm around me.

"You know, we still have the meal and gifts for Lilly's birthday." Daley said. I smiled and Lex hurried over close to the fire pit. Rose started to lift the crib but she couldn't because she was too weak. Jackson went over and pulled the crib under the outdoor shelter. They were both asleep when Rose sat down at the fire pit.

"Here Lilly!" Lex squealed. He was really excited to give me his gift. He handed me a notebook and I took it and opened it. The first page was a drawn picture of me in my blue Lola wig, the next one was the red one, and every page was a different colored wig.

"Aw Lex! I love it! Thank you." I leaned over and gave him a huge hug. He did feel like the brother I never had. When I let go of him Taylor came up and gave me a bracelet.

"Here. I hope you like it." I looked at it closer and it was handmade out of sea shells and colorful rocks.

"I love it! Thank you!" I got up and gave her a big hug. After her everyone came up and gave me there presents. Jackson came up last. Before he came to me he went and got a guitar. He sat down next to me and said,

"Enjoy." He winked at me and started playing a song called "I wont stand alone" It was beautiful.

"Aw Jackson! That was great! Thank you." I looked around and saw that Miley and Lex were gone. "Hey, where did Miley and Lex go?" Everyone else looked and everyone shrugged. I heard a little noise and looked down the beach. Lex hit a button and the song "Life's what you make it" came on. Miley walked around the corner as Hannah and she started to sing. Everyone jumped up and started to sing with her. Jackson stood up and offered to take my hand to dance but instead I stood up and said loud enough for her to hear,

"You just don't get it do you?" I ran back in the woods back to the little open area where Jackson and I went by ourselves. I sat down in the prairie and soon enough Jackson came up behind me.

"Lilly what happened?"

"Hannah Montana happened. She's always stealing the spotlight from me. One time on my 16th birthday I had a huge a party but then she showed up as Hannah Montana and everyone forgot about me. God, she can't even let me have the spotlight for 10 minutes." I said annoyed.

"She was just trying to be nice." Jackson said.

"She always is, but no she never says anything about me to her fans, or anything. "Its always about her and I'm sick of it." I said getting up and storming back to camp. I saw Miley still as Hannah laughing with Daley, the minute she saw me she pulled off her wig.

"Lilly, I'm sor.."

"No you're not. You just say that to be a good person. If you were really sorry you wouldn't have done it in the first place. This is just like my 16th birthday all over again. Why would that to me?" I yelled. She was quiet. "You know what; I don't want to be Lola Luftnagle anymore. Why don't you have Daley do it?" I said. "I quit."
