I'm not going to lie, I had my little period of HUGE laziness, but I couldn't leave you all hanging like that, and there are some things that I left out in the last few chapters... so there you go. I'm sorry!
This chapter will include some Lackson, to make up for her brother's absence in the previous chapter. I don't know where this will take me, but wherever it does lead me to, I'll be happy with it! I hope...
I'd like to thank EmeraldLilly as well for helping me out with this chapter. Without her, I would have been stuck on this for a long time, and it's already been two weeks!
Disclaimer: Do I have to draw you a map? (shakes fist) I also don't own the songs "6 minutes" by The Jonas Brothers and "Are We The Waiting" by Green Day, or "The Catcher In The Rye" by J.D. Salinger [BUY THE BOOK!.

Lily's POV
Starry nights, city lights, coming down over me...
I hummed quietly to the song playing on my iPod while looking at the stars in the sky and laying down on the warm sand, looking at the tide waves rushing up to the shore. This was one of my favorite spots on the beach, and one of the reasons why I love Malibu. You can do anything you want without being bothered, it's just so...
"BOO!"
Nice.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I shrieked, almost falling to the ground, before turning around and catching a glimpse of the person who tried to kill me, before I tried to kill them.
I saw him laughing his head off on the floor, rolling in the sand like the little cute, adorable fool he is...
"Jackson Daniel Stewart..." I said, with gritted teeth.
"Lillian Jordan Truscott..." he said, with the same tone of voice. "We meet again."
I stared deep into his blue eyes.
"So we do." I said, taking a step closer. "Do you really want to go there?"
His eyes pierced my own.
"With pleasure."
At that, he charged and tackled me, tickling me like no other person could. I tried to squirm free but failed, unable to contain my laughter inside any longer, it all flew out of my mouth faster than a crowd of people who noticed a skunk.
I stared deep into his blue eyes.

"Jack...son... I... can't... BREATHE... let me... go... JACKSON... STOP!!!" I said, in between breaths and laughter.
He continued tickling me for a little bit before I was loose and pinned him to the ground, with locked gazes. It seemed like an eternity before he leaned up, and I leaned down to do this.
SMACK.
"OW!" he yelped, getting up from the sand. "What the hell was that for?!"
"Jackson, you know I hate it when people do that to me. I don't like being tickled, and I certainly don't like it when people surprise me like that."
"I know, but I couldn't resist. You should have seen the look on your face when I scared you!"
"You should have seen the look on yours when I hit you."
BURN.
"Ow. That really hurt, though." He said, with a hint of seriousness in his voice, which made me feel guilty for smacking him in the first place.
"I'm sorry Jackson," I said, getting on my tiptoes and kissing his forehead lightly, before hugging him. "It's just that I don't like surprises. Especially bad ones like this."
He hugged me back, pulling me close to him. "It's okay, Lily. I shouldn't have scared you like that." He rubbed my back a bit before continuing. "Want to take a walk down the beach?" he asked, taking my hand, and intertwining my fingers with his.
"Of course." I said, smiling.
Jackson's POV
Lily and I were walking down the beach in silence. Nothing could make me a happy man now, Lily's already made me feel that way for the past sixteen months. I remember the time I asked her out...
Flashback:
The sun was setting and I was on the beach, adding the last touches to my plan. I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she was going to see this! I looked at it one last time, and saw that there was one thing missing, but quickly added it and looked at it again.
It was PERFECT.
My thoughts were interrupted when I heard noises coming from behind me, and turned around to see Lily on her way over here. She stood around at first, and I could even hear her ask, "Where's Jackson?" in that cute tone of voice of hers.
I could tell she was surprised because she let out a gasp as the music played.
She's the kind of girl that you see in the movies
Seen her in my dreams and now she's standing next to me
Down by the shore first weekend of the summer
Gotta take chance and just ask for her number
I wish I had a song on MTV,
Because in a crowded room I'd be the only one she sees
She's looking bored and now I'm running out of time
I've only got six minutes if I'm going to make her mine...
She then looked down at the floor and saw a note, and read what was written on it:
One minute and the earth begins to shake,
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break,
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new,
That's just three minutes with you.
Four minutes and she's everything I see,
Five minutes and shes where I want to be,
Another minute everything just feels so new...
I need six minutes with you...
Six minutes.
"Obviously I'd need more than six minutes with you. I'd love to spend every moment with you, whether it's just us talking, or if it's during a movie with everyone else at night. I love the way you jump into my arms when you get scared, or the way you finish a slurpee when you order one from the shack. I love the way your golden blonde hair falls down past your shoulders and match your crystal blue eyes, and when they gaze mine, I'm lost forever in thought. The way your giggle fills the whole room with warmth and comfort wipes away the feeling of awkwardness around us."
She's looking at her watch while the DJ is spinning,
This could be the end or it's just the beginning,
She's the kinda girl that I wan to know better,
Reaching for her keys so I guess it's now or never...
I wish that I was on the radio,
I'd sing her favorite song she'd be front row at every show...
This party's lame and now I'm running out of time,
I've only got six minutes if I'm going to make her mine...
"I remember the first day I met you. It was my first day of High School, and I was a sophomore, while you went to school with my little sister and Oliver. At first, I was a bit... afraid of you with your hyperactive but fun personality, but I grew fond of it over the years. We grew closer, you, me, Oliver, and Miley too! (Even though he's not going out with her yet.) I remember when you came to me to talk about certain things, and how I was always there to listen, and to give you advice if you ever had any problems back then. You also gave me some advice when I went through a rough period, and that's when the feeling hit me."
One minute and the earth begins to shake,
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break,
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new,
That's just three minutes with you.
Four minutes and she's everything I see,
Five minutes and shes where I want to be,
Another minute everything just feels so new...
I need six minutes with you...
Six minutes.
"I guess it's those little things I noticed about you that made me realize I had a crush on you, but soon those feelings developed into love. I couldn't bring myself to admit these feelings for you until it smacked me in the face. Fear and rejection took over me for a long period of time, but now those are gone. By now, you probably know what I'm going to ask you, but maybe the message in the sand will help."
Sometimes I feel like the catcher in the rye
Sometimes I wish that I could catch her eye
Sometimes I wish that I could be that guy
Yeah...time is passing by,
I'm losing my mind,
I need 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...6 minutes with you...
I heard her gasp, and knew that it was my time to come out.
One minute and the earth begins to shake,
Two minutes and my hearts begins to break,
Another minute and she makes me feel brand new,
That's just three minutes with you.
Four minutes and she's everything I see,
Five minutes and shes where I want to be,
Another minute everything just feels so new...
I need six minutes with you...
Six minutes.
She looked at me, with an expression on her face I wasn't quite able to read. I put the rose I had for her in her hair, and she then hugged me with so much force she knocked me onto the sand, but I was able to get up and hug her back. I felt her tears of happiness soak through my shirt, before she looked up at me and gave me the most passionate and romantic kiss on this sunset beach, in Malibu, Calfornia.
End flashback
I must have gotten lost in thought because I heard someone yell my name.
"Jackson!"
"Yeah?"
"Were you off in Lilyland again?" she asked, with a smirk, as we were sitting down on the sand, watching the sunset.
"Maybe so... why do you ask?" I replied.
"Just wondering." She put her head on my shoulder.
"To be honest, I was thinking of the day I asked you out. I remember it all so clearly."
"Aww, Jackson..." she said, smiling before giving me a quick kiss.
I put my arm around her, and we sat there, enjoying the beautiful sunset on the beach.
Sorry for the long wait guys! I promise there will be a LOT more drama in the next chapter — that's a promise!Hope you all enjoyed this Lackson moment. The more reviews I get, the faster I'll update so... please REVIEW!
