LILLY'S POV

I decided to give Matt a second chance. He had asked me to the dance last Friday. At the dance he asked me out, and I said yes. He had changed, and I had given in to his looks. He liked the old me, and I wasn't going to change. Sometime during the past week he had asked me to the bonfire on the beach. I had spent two hours at Miley's getting ready. Jake was going to be there, he had come back. They had been going out for a month, and all the girls were envious of Miley. I didn't care, I had Matt. Every once in a while, I would start to like Oliver. I was convinced that I was going crazy.

Anyway, I am in a black Mercedes. Mr. Stewart is driving Miley, Oliver, Jackson, and I to the bonfire. Jackson is sitting up front with Mr. Stewart. Oliver is squished between Miley and I. I feel my bare thigh touch his. My cheeks burn up and I felt the urge to keep it there. My thigh was bare because I was wearing a pair of short shorts. I had on an American Eagle shirt that I loved. Oliver had gotten it for me for my fifteenth birthday. It was my favorite present besides Miley's, which was a full outfit from her Hannah closet. I even got to choose which clothes I wanted. It was awesome. The rest of my family had gotten my bonds…you can't spend bonds. My mom told me to save them for a car or college. I wanted to buy clothes with them, but I found out that you can't spend them. That is so stupid.

"Lilz…" Oliver started. It gave me butterflies the way he says my nickname.

"Huh?" I asked as I drifted out of memory lane. I liked it there, my past was stellar. The present was okay, and the future, as I saw it, was tomorrow.

"You yelled stupid," Miley said. I almost forgot that she was in the car. It felt like it was just me and Oliver. Maybe, I am crushing on him…a lot.

"Oh…" I said as I felt my face heat up. Oliver moved his hand, and it brushed against my leg. My face felt even hotter.

"Geez, Lilz…you're tomato red," Jackson said as he turned around. He must have thought that our conversation was getting good. But, his comment got everyone looking at my face, which made me blush more.

"Why are you blushing so bad?" Miley asked. A few reasons actually…me crushing on Oliver, Jackson's comment, all eyes on me, and Oliver touched my thigh.

"No reason," I lied. Nobody noticed my lie. I think…the only person who could tell was Oliver; he was also the only person to get the info out of me.

"Lilz…you're lying," Oliver pointed out. Damn…he's gonna get the real info out of me.

"No I'm not…oh, look, we're here," I said as Mr. Stewart started to stop. He came to a complete stop, and I jumped out of the car. I went off to find Matt.

MILEY'S POV

Lilly just ran out of the car after the blushing questions. I think I know why she was blushing, why she lied, and why she left. She likes Jackson. The second he turned around her face became red. She probably didn't want to answer any questions because she was thinking of her and Jackson going out. Ew…that would be nasty.

"Miles. Are you coming?" Oliver asked me as they all got out of the car. I was still seated with the seatbelt on.

"Yea," I said as I unbuckled, and got out.

"Have fun, bud. Call me when you want to get picked up," Daddy said before he rolled away. I nodded, and waved.

"Oliver," I yelled as Oliver started to walk away. Jackson was already out of sight. Oliver came to a stop and turned towards me.

"What?" Oliver asked me in an annoyed tone.

"I think that Lilly likes Jackson," I said. Everyone knew that Oliver had been falling for Lilly…hard. No one knew who she liked, but now I think that I had a guess.

"Oh…okay," Oliver said before he started walking.

"Oliver, I know that she likes you. She'll come around, don't worry," I said as he stopped to listen. As soon as I was done he began walked off to only God knows where.

"Hey," I heard a voice from behind me. I turned around, and kissed Jake.

OLIVER'S POV

I couldn't believe what Miley had just told me. I wouldn't believe it. How could she? I was convinced that she was head over heels for me. I guess not. I'll still watch over her…I was going to anyway. I just want to make sure that's she safe.

LILLY'S POV

It had been an intense make out session that I just had with Matt. Like five minutes of making out. I felt a rain drop. Matt had gone to get us drinks. I was sitting on a rock listening to the waves. They were so soothing. I felt more and more rain, until it was down pouring. I heard thunder and lightening. I turned around where I hoped to see a familiar face. I did, but it was with Amber and Ashley. It was Matt.

"You! We are so over!" I yelled as thunder began to roar. I was getting soaked, but I didn't care. More thunder, I whimpered.

"Lilly! Is that you?" Matt said. As I saw more lightening, and then heard the thunder. I wanted to cry. I was so scared. At least if I had the tears rolling, no one would notice.

"YES! We are so OVER!" I yelled as I saw him being dragged off by Amber. Ashley was snickering. I hated them so much. I heard more thunder. It was so loud, that I was afraid to move. All the memories flowed back to me.

--------------------

It was a cold October night. I was five, and my grandmother was watching me and my siblings. It was drizzling, and Elizabeth had let Mickey, our puppy, loose. On accident, of course. She was seven, I was five, and Tanner was three. Our grandmother had fallen asleep, and we wanted to find our puppy. We got on our rain coats and our rain boots. We grabbed umbrellas, and went looking for Mickey. He was a puppy, so we didn't think that he would find his way back home. We left a note for Nana.

"Lilly, go look in the park, and I will look around town. Go back home as sure as you know Mickey's not there," Elizabeth ordered.

"Okay," I said in my squeaky voice. I went to the park. While I was there, the wind started to get faster. I got cold, and a little scared. I looked although the park. It started to rain harder, and I was about to go home, when I heard a bark. I followed the sounds of the barking. I saw Mickey in a tunnel. I grabbed him, and began to carry him home. It started to thunder and lightening. I had gotten seriously scared. I couldn't find my road. I had Mickey in my arms, and I was walking through the streets. I saw some benches, and I knew where I was, but I didn't know how to get home from there. I was by the deli that mommy always stopped at. We always stopped there after Elizabeth's soccer practices. I sat under the one table, and curled into a little ball. I fell asleep, with Mickey safe in my arms. I was terrified, that I would never see my family again. The part that made it most scary was the thunder and lightening.
--------------------

I curled into a little ball next to the rock, as I felt the same fear that I did that night when I was five. I saw a shadow looming over me. I looked up to see Oliver. He was part of the search party that found me, when I was five. He found me while his mom was taking him shopping for school supplies. He told his mom to stop the car, and they brought me home. He knew my secret, and always protected me from the thunder. He was so sweet to me. He was a very sensitive guy. I was falling for him…hard. I guess that I always had been, but never noticed it.

"Lil…want me to take you home?" Oliver asked me. He must be kidding. He had to take me home. Otherwise I was sleeping here.

"Yes," I said as Oliver scooped me up, and carried me bridal style to my porch. I kissed his cheek to thank him. His face turned red. I let myself in with the spare key. I had forgotten that Tanner was at Nana's house, Mom was at her friend's cocktail party, Dad was on a business trip, and Elizabeth was at a sleepover at her friend's house.

"Want me to stay with you?" Oliver asked. He, and I both, knew that I wouldn't make it alone.

"Please," I said as I let him in. I got out his spare clothes, and left him in Tanner's room. While I got changed in my room. He was already downstairs munching on chips on the pullout couch, watching Grease. I sat on the pullout couch next to him. I took a chip, and slid it in to my mouth gracefully.

Everyone knows it's meant to be
Fallin' in love just you and me
Til the end of time
Til I'm on her mind
It'll happen
I've been making lots of plans like a
Picket fence and rose garden
I'll just keep on dreamin'
But it's cool cause we're just friends

It was my ring tone. Who was calling? It was eleven thirty at night. Miley didn't know my fear. Oliver had my phone in his hand. I looked at the caller I.D. on my EnV.

"What?" I said just I hit the send button. It was Matt, and I didn't want his excuses.

"I didn't mean to ditch you-" Matt said, but I had already hung up on him. He could save his excuses. I curled up under the comforter, and tried to focus on Grease, and not my swirling thoughts. Matt was a backstabber, and Oliver was sweet. I soon fell asleep.

MATT'S POV

I saw Lilly get carried home by Oliver. I saw her kiss his cheek. I saw her let him in. I wanted to be Oliver so bad. I knew what I had to do. I had to get rid of Oliver, so Lilly would come crawling back to me.

I'm not sure how that chapter went. I don't think that Matt could be out of character because he doesn't have a definite one to begin with. Hm…next chapter could be interesting. Matt had his revenge, and Lilly and Oliver are falling for each other. Review, and give me your ideas on this chapter, this story, and what I could fix in future chapters.


P.S. - Lilly's ring tone is Just Friends by the Jonas Brothers. Just to let you know.
