Oliver's POV


"UH! This is driving me crazy!" I thought as I walked out of my room

I can't help but think about Lilly. All I see when I close my eyes is her face. When she's not near me I can still smell her, she always has that sweet smell of salt water in her hair. I picked up my cell phone to call Lilly. But there was no answer.

"Hey Lilly, it's Oliver, I was wondering if u wanted to get some ice cream later? Call me!" I cheered to her voicemail

I waited for a few hours wondering if she would say yes. I finally heard my phone ring.

"Hello?"

"OLLIE!!"

"Oh hey Lilly, so you got my message?" I asked hopefully

"Yeah, when did u want that ice cream? She asked

My stomach leapt into my throat as I answered "Um how about I come get you now!"

"Yeah sure ill wait for you outside!" and she hung up

I walked out to get in my car, a silver Monte Carlo; I had gotten for my 17th birthday. My hand shook as I put the key in the ignition. I have to do it tonight I thought as I felt the wind surround me. As I pulled up to Lilly's I slowed down and took a long look at her. Her hair was wet; she must have showered for me I thought, that must be a good sign? I got a strange feeling in my stomach as I watched her lean in my car. I couldn't help it I reached out to her and took her hand.

"Hey" she said as she squeezed my hand

"Hey" I said breathlessly

When she smiled the butterflies went away.

When I pulled up to an ice-cream shop close to the mall, I let go of her hand. I would lose my chance if I didn't do it now I thought. I leaned over and put my hand on her cheek and kissed her. She didn't kiss back.

"Oliver?" she said sounding shocked

"Lilly im not going to apologize for something I know you feel to" I pushed


Lilly's POV


"What do you mean, what I feel to?" I asked

"Lilly I-I-I think im in love with you!" he stuttered

"Oliver" I said full of guilt

"Say something else please" He pleaded sounding hurt

"I don't love you that way" I choked I could feel tears threatening to run

He went to grab a hold of my hand but I got out of the car and walked into the ice cream shop. I had to get away from him. He followed me in and bought me a scoop of vanilla.

"Lilly im sorry" Oliver said

"Oliver please don't bring it up" I snapped

"But Lilly-

"Oliver No" I yelled as I walked out of the door dropping the ice cream in the trash


Oliver's POV


I watched her leave me standing there. I don't know what I said. How could I have been so stupid? I felt tears running down my cheeks. I had to get out of there. When I stepped out into the warm night I could smell rain in the air. It reminded me of Lilly. I felt sharp pangs in my heart as I started my car. Soon enough as I drove into the silence of the night it started to rain. I choked back tears as I listened to the light patter of raindrops on my hood. It felt silent to me nothing mattered.

The silence finally broke with the sound of breaking glass, as Oliver hit the windshield.
