Okay, thank you the alerts and for those who reviewed, every single one is much appreciated! Here's the second chapter, this is more a filler and used for setting what happens later on in the story. I would have liked to make it better but was unsure how without rupturing the rest of the story. As usual any reviews good or bad would be appreciated.

I also forgot a disclaimer, so here it is.

Bon Jovi – I Am

We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing

And I ain't got no halo hanging over my head
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I Am
I Am

The sun was just rising when Lilly cracked open her eyes to look at Miley who was lying next to her. Lilly gently brushed Miley's wild hair away from her face before kissing her softly. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you no matter what."

"I know you do." Miley whispered back before opening her eyes, rolling on to her back and stretching.

"Hey. Did you get much sleep?" Lilly have her lover a soft smile.

"No. I don't think I slept at all." Miley rubbed her eyes.

"Your face is still red and puffy."

"How flattering, thanks for the reminder."

"Sorry. What's the time?"

"Ten past five, way too early to be awake really."

"Stay in bed then."

"Na, I'm gonna get up, I want to go for a ride of Blue Jeans. I need some time to think." Miley got out of bed and wandered around to her draws.

Lilly propped herself up on her elbows. "Do you want company, or would you rather be alone?" Lilly said nonchalantly. She didn't want to press Miley in to letting her come; she knew that sometimes Miley needed some space.

"What made you ask me that? Of course I want you with me." Miley chucked a bra and panties at Lilly. "Now get up. Oh and you're riding Satan."

"Great." Lilly said flatly.

"Come on Lillian! I wanna get going before Dad comes out."

"It's twenty to six in the morning; I seriously doubt he's up yet."

"Move your butt!"

"Alright! Just trying to do the cinch up on this fat beast!" Lilly said tugging at the straps.

"You do know that you can do it loose and then tighten it up when you're on him." Miley said as she took Blue Jeans past and hopped on him.

"Great, tell me that after he's bitten me a hundred times." Lilly undid Satan and led him out to the front of the barn were Miley was waiting for her. "Jesus, this is a bit bigger than Blue Jeans." Lilly said jumping with one foot in the stirrup and one foot on the ground. Miley watched Lilly stretch herself in her jeans before kicking Blue Jeans and heading towards the open land. "Miles, still mounting!" Lilly said as she tried to go with the now walking horse.

Miley laughed. "That'll teach you to be slow." Miley kicked Blue Jeans in to a trot and Lilly's horse followed suit.

"Miley!" Lilly yelled as she scrambled on the horse. "I'm stilling getting on!"

Miley gave Lilly a knowing look before smiling and urging Blue Jeans faster. "You'll never catch me!"

"Wanna bet?" Lilly said as she caught up with Miley and gave her a playful shove.

Robbie watched the interaction between his daughter and her best friend through his bedroom window. They'd been best friends since the day they met and he assumed that the natural closeness between them was down to the years they had spent together, there was obviously another side to this coin. Robbie kept getting flashbacks from what he saw last night and tried to push them to the furthest reaches of his mind. Finding out his daughter and best friend were gay was one thing but the unfortunate way he did would stick in his memory for a long time. Robbie closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of nose. He groaned. He had no idea how to react to the situation in front of him.

"I wish you were here." He whispered. "You always knew what to do." Robbie rested his head on the pane of glass. "Help me Susan."

After over an hour's riding Miley and Lilly stopped by a river to allow their horses and themselves to have a rest. They untacked and hobbled both horses before lying beneath the tree next to the river.

"You know, this is my favourite place to come when I need to think." Miley said simply.

"I can see why it's beautiful."

"It's where I came to think before I started dating you."

"Really?" Lilly looked somewhat surprised. "What did you think about?"

"You mostly. How you'd react when I told you I loved you, what you felt like, how your lips felt on mine..." Miley trailed off as her thoughts overtook her, Lilly noticed that Miley's eyes had glazed over, she knew that Miley had gone in to dream mode.

Lilly leant over Miley. "You don't have to imagine what my lips feel like on yours." She whispered before placing her lips on Miley and kissing her deeply.

Miley gave a low, throaty moan. Lilly pulled away. "Is that better than you imagined?"

"More than words could say." Lilly dropped herself back to the ground and allowed herself to be swallowed up by the country. "Do you have any places that you go to when you need to think?" Miley said turning her head to look at Lilly.

"When my Mum and Dad were splitting up I spent a lot of time at the beach, it was just quiet. It got me away from all the arguing."

"I'm sorry Lils, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay Miles that was a long time ago."

"When Mum died I spent all my time with Blue Jeans." Lilly wasn't sure how to react to Miley's sudden statement, she glanced at her girlfriend. "I would be out with him all day, doing exactly this. I'd ride out to my favourite spot and sit there for hours. Blue Jean's would come and go as he pleased."

"Miles, you okay?" Lilly was slightly concerned for her girlfriend, she had never told Lilly that much about her Mum's death and Lilly accepted that without any questions.

"Yeah, I just want to go to Tennessee now. I know I'm there for a month in the summer but it doesn't mean that I don't miss it."

"You're going to Tennessee for a month?" Lilly asked, Miley hadn't mentioned anything of the sort to her before now.

"Yeah, I thought I told you?" Lilly shook her head. "Oh."

"So when are you going?"

"What do you mean? I'm not going without you!" Miley gave Lilly a naughty grin.

Lilly groaned and slapped Miley playfully. "You're such a tease!"

"Sorry, your face when I said that. I want you to come with me to meet the rest of my family."

"The rest of them?" Lilly shrieked. "There can't be anymore."

"You only met Grandma Ruby's side of the family, we're staying at Mamaw's this year, I want you meet the other half."

Lilly suddenly felt dubious. "What about us? I mean, dating, it's quite a big deal."

"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I want you with me."

"We might need to cross the bridge to your Dad." Lilly sighed. "I'm sorry Miles, but we can't hide out here forever."

"I know, I don't know how to even begin." Miley thought for a moment. "I know, how about 'I'm Gay!'"

Lilly laughed. "I think he might have got that one figured out." She linked her fingers through Miley's. "You can say no if you want, I won't be offended, but I kinda wanna be there when you tell your Dad. I wanna make him see I love you, not the demon girl he caught on top of his daughter."

"Demon girl?" Miley questioned. "He won't see you like that."

"Miles, he had no idea you and me dating, I'm sure seeing us both naked having sex isn't exactly shining a beacon on me."

"At the end of the day Lil, I'm legally an adult and I'm entitled to a sex life."

"Now that's an opening line."

"Oh my God! I don't think I've ever been this sore!" Lilly whinged as she waddled in to barn before pulling her jeans off. "Four hours I was in that saddle."

"You're such a city girl!" Miley said following Lilly, silently sniggering at how her girlfriend was walking.

"Hillbilly! I'm serious Miles! I have never felt anything like this! I'm sure I've got butt blisters!"

"Lillian, stop being so dramatic. You're just not used to it that's all."

"I'm serious Miles! Can you check? Please?"

Miley pulled a disgusted face. "Do I have to?"

"Miley, you've been near my butt a hundred times, deal with it."

"Alright, the things we do for love. Come here then."

Lilly went and stood by Miley. "Wise choice of underwear to ride in." Miley said before she pinged the top of Lilly's g-string.

"Oww!" Lilly moaned as she tried to turn around and look.

"Stay still!" Miley said grabbing Lilly's hips and holding them in place.

"Well, do I have blisters?"

"Do you want the good or the bad news?"

"Good."

"Well you don't have blisters."

"Bad?"

"You have two rather large sores which are bleeding." Miley laughed.

"What?" Lilly yelled before going over to mirror attempting to peer round and look at the sores. "No wonder why it hurts." Lilly went to touch it.

"Don't do that." Miley said going over to her girlfriend. "I'll get something to clean them up with."

"Great."

Two hours later the two girls were clean and thanks to a reminder from Lilly's stomach, now hungry.

"All clear." Miley said as she peered round the back door before opening it. "Dad's not here." Miley noticed Jackson sitting on the sofa testing yet another video game.

"Jerkson, its Saturday, why are you still testing games?" Miley said as she grabbed a loaf of bread.

"Some of us take our work very seriously."

"You're being paid for video games."

"Hey, it's good money." He shrugged.

"Have you seen Dad this morning?" Miley asked as she began cutting the loaf.

"No, I was up extra early too."

"What were you doing, never mind." Miley shook her head. "Did Dad say anything to you?"

"If I didn't see him then there's a pretty good chance I haven't talked to him. There's an envelope here with yours and Lilly's name on though. It looks like Dad's writing, what have you two done?"

"Just give me two seconds Jackson." Miley said going over to the coffee table and picking up the envelope. "You haven't read this have you?"

"No, why, is there anything good in it?"

"Just wait a sec." Miley said sternly before walking back over to the kitchen. "Hey Lil, Dad's left us a letter, I don't like the look of this." Miley whispered.

"Neither do I, open it Miles."

Miley & Lilly,

I love you both so much.

I just need some time to think.

Dad

XXX

"It could be worse." Lilly said quietly. "I mean he still loves us both." When no reply came, Lilly nudged Miley in the ribs with her elbow. "Miles?"

"I think we should tell Jackson."

"Really?"

"Really. He's my brother, we kept this from Daddy and look what a mess its left us in. You okay with me doing that?"

"I'm fine with it Miles, he may be a pain in the ass but he's got a good heart on him really."

"Hey Jackson." Miley called.

"Yeah?" He said still engrossed in his game.

"Can Lil and I talk to you?"

"Sure, what's up?" Jackson continued to stare at the screen and move buttons.

Miley and Lilly made their way over to the couch and sat down. "No, Jackson, I mean like seriously talk."

Jackson heard the sincerity in his sister's voice and paused his game before putting the controller down. "Miley? What's going on? Is this about the letter?"

"Yes and no."

"What?"

"Just hear me out Jackson; this may be weird and hard for you to swallow. I mean you're the first person we've actually told."

"We've?" He questioned. "You and Lilly?"

Miley nodded. "Yeah. For the past couple of months we've been dating." Miley said as quickly as she could.

"Dating?" Jackson looked dumbfounded, he's eyes flicked between Miley and Lilly. "You and Miles?" He pointed a finger at Lilly who gave a nervous nod. "You and Lilly?" He said doing the exact same thing.

"Yeah. Are you cool with that?"

"I have nothing against it, I just never thought either of you would ever be gay." Jackson opened and closed his mouth; he wasn't sure what to say. "What about Dad, does he know, is that what this is about?"

"Yeah, last night he found Lilly and I doing..."

"Yeah ok, I think I get that bit, we'll skip that."

"We hadn't told anyone and we haven't spoken to him since that moment. That's what the letter is about." Miley said waving it about in front of Jackson.

"Can I read it?"

Miley looked at her girlfriend who was being unusually silent. "Yeah." Miley passed the letter to her brother whom she watched closely as he quickly read it. "What do you make of it?"

"I don't wanna read in to it too much Miles, but at least I doesn't say pack your bags and get out." Jackson shrugged. "I'm sorry; I don't want to get either of your hopes up."

"It's ok." Miley sighed, looking dejected.

Jackson looked at his sister and back to Lilly; he truly felt for them, he placed a hand on top of each of theirs. "Whatever happens, you've got my support."
