Lilly's POV.
I was standing in the rain. Tonight was the night I feared for a long time now. I always thought I would die happily, or at least as happily as I could, with Miley next to me and we could have our last kiss before I passed away.
I guess destiny had other plan for me.
The sight before me was completely the opposite of what I thought. It was dark, really dark, and raining too. I was lying in the streets my clothes covered with blood, my own blood. Everything around me seemed so far away but so close at the same time. I wanted to get up and run away, run away from the house I wasn't welcome into anymore. Next beside me was the paramedic working on my body, they wanted to bring me back but I already knew my fate.
The cops standing on the sidewalk holding the crowd back looked disgusted. I couldn't blame them for feeling that way. I was disgusted too. I was disgusted that someone I trusted and loved so much could betray me in the worse way possible. I always thought my father was the kind of person who would understand me and help me throughout life.
I guess we can't really know a person.
Robbie Ray was talking to a cop, he kept looking at my body and the expression he had was that of someone completely disheartened. I guess when you are a witness to a murder you must feel that way, especially when you tried to save that person and failed. I really wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault and that he shouldn't be blaming himself.
Oliver was there too. He looked as disheartened as Robbie Ray but there was something more to his feeling. He looked more furious and mad than sad. I saw him giving my father the death glare, I also heard him talking with his mother. The discussion was pretty interesting. I caught the words 'revenge' and 'kill' in the discussion. I knew Oliver was more than this weak boy. I knew he had a darker side that he kept locked away all the time, I understand now why.
Now you might ask yourself why I was standing here in front of my house and not walking to the other side. It's simple. I have a choice to make and an important one too. I was at an important crossroad in my destiny and from that decision the lives of several people could change forever. I was lingering in the living world for one reason only.
I was here to think about my answer… and I needed to be really careful.
Flashback - Lilly meet Miley –
"Mom!" I yelled.
I was in my bedroom putting on my swimsuit. Today was the best day to go to the beach. It was sunny and warm. Usually I would stay at home with my best friend Oliver hanging out with me. We would watch TV, movies and play video games until it was time for him to go home.
Today I wanted to go out. Although it was surprising since I rarely went out, except when Oliver called me so could hang out at Rico's. Today was the exception because I woke up with the feeling that something good will happen to me.
"Yeah" Mom yelled back.
"I'm going to the beach. Oliver will be there and he might come back for lunch." I yelled.
"Okay" Mom yelled. "Tell him to be more careful this time."
I rolled my eyes. Last time we went to the beach, Oliver ended up with some 'clothes' problems and had to wore mine until he got to his house and got new one. It had been really funny for me, for him not so much.
The walk to the beach wasn't that long since we lived right next to it. But I had to go by Oliver's place before so it took us slightly longer to get there. The beach was packed but Oliver knew where to go if we wanted a place to sit. We had our little special place where we could be alone and enjoy the water and the sun.
Today though, our special spot was already taken. When we got there, there were a girl about my age and a boy slightly older than me, playing or fighting. They stopped whatever they were doing when they noticed us.
"Hi" the girl said with a big smile.
In my entire life, I had never seen a smile so beautiful. That girl had that incredible aura around her because I caught myself smiling back.
"Hi" I said.
"Want to join?" she said pointing to a spot beside them.
By that point I was rendered speechless by the beauty of the girl. She was wearing a white top with a black skirt. Although her body was really sexy, her best features were her eyes. They captured mine the moment I laid my eyes on her. I would have stayed still for a long time if Oliver hadn't pushed me so we could sit down.
"You need to excuse my friend." Oliver said. "She isn't used to see other people that much."
"It's okay." The girl said. "We're new in town anyway."
I couldn't explain it but when she said they were new in town. I had that incredible feeling that somehow, our lives were bound to intersect and it would stay like that for a long time.
Flashback – Lilly and Miley's first date –
Finally, I was finally able to tell Miley how I felt about her. The best part was that she felt the same way about me. I was a bit surprised it took us until our senior year in high school for us to admit our feelings. It was worth the wait though. We wouldn't have enjoyed it that way if we had told each other earlier.
For our first date, Miley had decided to take me to a restaurant. She chose 'Allegria' and from what I heard earlier from mom, it was a really expensive restaurant but with foods to die for. I almost fainted when I heard the price of their simplest meals. I guess when you are secretly a pop star, you can afford that kind of treats but I never thought Miley would actually use her celebrity for our first date.
"Feeling weird?" I heard Miley said.
I was looking at the menu and I really tried to keep myself from fainting. The price kept repeating in my head like my mom's voice when she was lecturing me. The lowest price I saw so far was 50 dollars.
"Kind of." I said.
Miley dropped her menu and reached for my head, she enveloped my hand with hers. She picked my menu and put it on the table. We looked at each other for a moment and then she leaned over the table to give me a kiss. I was a little bit taken off guard because Miley had always been against showing our love to the public.
"You don't have to." She said when she broke the kiss. "I brought you here because I love you with all my heart."
I smiled. For the first time in our relationship, granted it was really early, she said she loved me. Around me I noticed some gaze turning toward us. Most of them came from older people and what was surprising was the understanding in their eyes. Maybe seeing us in love remembered them of when they fell in love the first time.
"I know you love me" I said. "But you could have taken me to a fast food and it would have been the same." I added jokingly.
Miley chuckled but shook her head. "Not in a million year. I want the best for you and if I can afford it, I'll do it."
The surprising part was that I completely trusted her. When she said she wanted the best for me, I understood she would do anything to make me happy and that our life together would be filled with happiness.
Flashback – Lilly and Miley's wedding, the reception –
I couldn't believe we had moved so fast in our relationship. At first, I had second thought about us getting married but as the days passed by I started to understand that Miley and I were meant to be together. If I needed proof I just had to look back to the time we had together and I would see the good time we had. Beside were in college and adults, we were old enough to make our important decisions about our lives together.
When I told my parents about Miley and I getting married, they told me it was great and they were going to bless the wedding. It sounded good but I couldn't help but feel that something was off with my father. He hadn't reacted like it was big news instead he distanced himself from me and my mother. I hadn't thought about it that much since I had much more on my mind like planning the wedding.
Miley wanted a big wedding but I wanted a small ceremony. We had some fights about that but in the end we ended with a compromise, we would have a ceremony at the church but with only our closest friends and family. The media wanted to be there to capture what they called 'the wedding of the millennium'. We granted the exclusivity to E! Tonight.
"Lilly?" Miley said.
We were outside the hotel where the reception had been taken place. I wanted to some air and Miley decided to accompany me outside. Earlier this month, my father freaked out on me. I was shocked when he yelled at me that he didn't want me to marry Miley, that I was too young to get married and, the worse part, that I shouldn't be getting married to another woman.
The last part was really shocking to my mother and I, we always thought my father was okay with my relationship with Miley. When we told them about us seeing each other, they were fine with it and we were happy about it. But now that my father told me his true feelings, it had been hard on me. I was thinking about postponing the wedding or cancelling it altogether but at the last minute Miley talked me out of it.
"Still thinking about your father?" Miley said while holding me close to her.
I looked at her. Her face was emotionless, nothing was showing on it. It was like looking at a robot.
"Yeah." I sadly said. "He isn't fine with us being married. You know how I don't like hurting him."
Miley put her head against mine. She kissed my forehead and then said, "I know. I know. But look at it this way, we are adults now. We are in love and adults. I don't see anything standing in our life together. So what if your father doesn't approve of the wedding. He doesn't know how we feel about each other and even if he knew it, what can he do about it?"
"I don't know." I said.
The feeling I had before and had started to fade suddenly return and they were stronger. I had the feeling that something really bad would happen, I wasn't sure when but it was going to happen eventually.
Flash forward – Lilly's funeral –
As I was expecting Miley was completely destroyed when she learnt about my death. She had been on a tour when she learnt about it, she cancel the rest of her tour so that she could be here today. Her fans didn't understand at first but when her manager told the news they supported. I think it was her fans' support that stopped her from getting too depress.
My funeral wasn't what I expected but way better. Everybody I knew was there. All my classmates were there to support Miley throughout that tragic time. The two people I thought I would never see again were there too, Amber and Ashley were standing among the thousands of people gathered around me coffin. Miley and her father were standing the closest to me and Jackson and Oliver were behind them. So far, no one couldn't help but cry.
I was surprise that I touched so many lives in my life.
The ceremony wasn't that long but it was charged with so much emotion that even I, someone dead, could feel it. I felt the emotion inside everybody's heart but the one I cared about was Miley's. I took time to feel hers and I was starting to regret it. Inside Miley's heart was something I hadn't seen before. Inside Miley's heart was revenge, in my entire life with her I hadn't seen her wanting revenge on someone but right now she wanted revenge on my father.
The only difference with Oliver was the fact that she wasn't going to kill him, but she was going to make his life a living hell.
Miley's house –
Miley didn't look at the expense. She hired the best lawyer in the world to sue my father. The trial lasted for months but the verdict was pronounced yesterday. My father got out free because of some missing evidence. Miley nearly killed my father when she heard the verdict. I actually laughed when she lunged at my father in the court. He screamed like a little girl when Miley punched the hell out of him.
Since the end of the trial, Miley spent her time inside her house doing nothing but watching some old movies we made together and crying. She became a complete train wreck waiting for her end to come.
I stayed with her all the time and believe me when I say that seeing her like that was the hardest thing I ever did. I was helplessly watching her ruining her life.
Miley's bathroom –
"Miley" I yelled.
What I feared she would do had happened. Miley was on the floor her wrists cut wide open. The blood was spilling out like a river. I knelt beside her and tried to help her but me being a ghost, or something like that, didn't help the matter. I watched helplessly Miley dying and there was nothing I could do except making my decision now.
"Angel" I screamed. "I'm ready!"
A blinding flash appeared soon followed by a sudden gust of wind inside the bathroom. When I opened my eyes I saw an immaculate angel standing by the door. She was holding some kind of globe in her right hand.
"Are you ready for your choice?" She asked.
I nodded.
"Yes" I said weakly.
I guess from now on, I'll have to live with the consequences of my choice.
Post notes: So what do you think? What is Lilly's choice? I have my idea on it but I want to know yours. If someone wants to write something that follow these events then that person should write it, as long as that person credit my works I'm fine with it.
