Hey hey! Okay so here is the storyline: Lilly and Oliver used to be in a serious relationship. They broke up though because they decided they both wanted different things. However the both didn't really want to stop seeing each other completely, so they are both each other's rebounds. When Lilly breaks up with a guy, she goes to Oliver and they have a little thing that goes on for a while. And when Oliver breaks up with a girl, he goes to Lilly. Well, don't you think there's something there if they keep going back to each other?


Complicated relationships aren't unheard of. Romeo and Juliet had a love that was forbidden. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy couldn't stand each other. But those stories had encouraged that love could fix anything. When Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy saw past the lies and realized their true feelings, they fell madly in love with each other and their hatred for each other was no longer separating them. And did not Romeo's and Juliet's suicides take away their families' feuds. But those were just stories. They weren't real life. It is often said that William Shakespeare was teasing love in Romeo and Juliet. And people say that Jane Austin was teasing society in her stories. Lilly Truscott however laughed at people when they talked about stuff like love, prince charming, the one. "It's all nonsense," is what she would normally say. However, this time was different.

"Oliver, I don't know if I can do this anymore," Lilly said quietly. She looked down at her shoes as if she were embarrassed.

"What do you mean?" Oliver asked looking at her in a confused way.

"The game we always play. Instead of just facing our feelings and battles, we run away to each other. We seem to think that one of us has the answer to our problems. That we'll find it in each other."

Oliver looked down and rubbed his hand on the back of his head sheepishly. Lately he had been feeling that he was just a waste of Lilly's time. He took a minute to reply. "So are you saying we need to move on from each other?"

"Oliver, I don't think we ever got over each other. I think we both want to end up with each other, marry, and live happily ever after," Lilly said.

"Happily ever after?" Oliver asked smiling. "Lilly, you laugh at that kind of stuff."

Lilly rolled her eyes. Oliver really knew how to get on her nerves.

"Wow, even when I'm pouring my heart out to you, you can still be annoying as ever," Lilly said crossing her arms.

"And wow, even when you're pouring your heart out to me, you still criticize me," Oliver said.

Lilly sighed. She wanted to throw her arms out at her. To tell her that she loved him. To tell him that this game was pointless. That they needed to get over themselves and quit playing games with each other.

"Oliver, I'm trying to tell you that I'm scared!" Lilly's voice cracked.

"Scared?" Oliver asked.

"Oliver, I'm scared of the fact that I feel like I'm wasting my time," Lilly said. She knew it was a lie. It was a bitter taste that toothpaste or mouthwash wouldn't be able to clean.

"You think that you're wasting your time with me?" Oliver said. He felt like a mouse that had come across a cat. It was obvious which one was going to get hurt. Oliver's fears had come true. Oliver turned around so he wouldn't be facing Lilly. "Then if you feel like you're wasting your time on me, don't return to me. Don't ever come back and see me again, because if you're wasting your time on me, then even just a friendship isn't worth it with you."

"Oliver," Lilly walked a little towards him and started to put her hand on her shoulder but stopped. "Oliver." She repeated his name. "Oliver." The third time she said it, she realized she couldn't find the words to say anything. "I guess I better leave." Tears were running down Lilly's cheeks.

"I guess you should," Oliver spat back.

Lilly slammed the door on her way out of Oliver's house. She regretfully walked out of his yard and closed the fence. Before she continued to walk, she took one look at Oliver through a window.

"What have I done?"


So was it good, bad? You be the judge!
