Lilly's POV
Every night I heard the fights.
They thought I was sleeping, but how can anyone sleep?
Then after fourteen long years of fighting, I finally heard the words I had been expecting to hear a long time ago, "I HATE YOU!"
I don't know who it was, but I felt the tears coming. I threw my rope ladder out the window and started climbing down.
And I just ran, letting my feet carry me wherever they wished.
Commercial Break
I found myself standing at the beach. BOOM!
I heard the thunder before I felt the rain.
Sitting down, I started crying, and crying. The tears were way past overdue.
By five minutes, I was soaked to my skin, but I didn't leave.
That's when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw my neighbor.
My best friend.
My Oliver.
He knew me so well, he could just look into my eyes and notice what was wrong.
"Did they divorce?" he said.
I just nodded.
He sat down next to me and didn't say anything. I stared out at the ocean, crashing down on the shore again and again. He looked with me.
Finally, he said something.
"Lilly, it's not your fault." Reading my mind as usual.
"Yes it is! Ever since I was 1 year old, every night they'd fight! It started small, but today it got all the way to I hate you! Oliver, before I was born, they never fought. EVER. Now they're divorced!"
I took in a deep, shaky, breath, and then burst into tears.
He hugged me so fast it took me a second to hug him back.
"Lilly, it's not your fault!" he said, a little bit louder than last time.
"Yes it is, Oliver! Everyone hates me! YOU hate me, you only came after me because you felt sorry for me!" I knew what I was saying was making no sense, but I was just so mad!
"No, Lilly, stop, please!"
Then I realized that Oliver was crying softly.
"What's wrong?" I asked, alarmed.
"Lilly, no one hates you. Especially me." He said the last part more softly.
"I'm sorry." I said.
He hugged me again, squeezing me so hard I think I heard something crack.
I squeezed him back equally as hard.
He pushed me back at arm's length and looked carefully at me. Then he said, "Your parents don't hate you. They love you. That's why they weren't getting a divorce. They both love you so much."
"What about you?" I asked.
Oliver's POV
I looked deep into Lilly's eyes when she asked that.
"I…"I trailed off.
There was so much sadness in her eyes, I couldn't add to that by saying I loved her.
Then again, she'd probably just laugh at me and cheer up.
She closed her eyes and said, "I get it. Don't force yourself to say it."
"I love you." I said.
Her eyes snapped open.
Ooh, a cliffy! But I promise, if I get at least one good review, I will update.
And yes, I know Oliver was out of character. No need to mention it.
This is not as good as I hoped it would be, but I'm still kind of proud of it. So flames are accepted, but please don't be too mean.
Whoever reviews will get a cookie! I seriously have some, they're soft and chewy!
In fact, I'm going to go eat one now!
