So this is my two-shot. I know I promised a one-shot and another story. But those are on pause, because I kinda lost motivation. I wanna write sad stories and I just can't do that to Nilly. If you guys want a sad Nilly, i'll probably do it. But no promises. Okay onto this story! This is a ... LOLLIE. I have a poll on my profile and the winning ship right now is Lollie. So I got a burst of inspiration and TA-DA! This two-shot happened. Just read if you have any ideas or critisicm, i'll be happy to take it [: Okay this is too long. So read!
Disclaimer: If I owned Hannah Montana, me and Rachel would share Mitchel Musso. Selena Gomez would have a bigger role and so would Emily Osment and Miley Cyrus would have a terrible accident ... OH AND I WOULD HAVE THE BEST ROLE ON THE SHOW... So no, I don't own HM.
The invitation came in the mail on March twenty second. She was getting married to some billionaire from Beverly Hills. She met him in college if my memory serves me right. His name is Maxwell Covington. She was going to marry a Covington. And I couldn't do anything to stop it.
We had barely kept in touch over the past few years. I went to school in South Dakota and she went to Los Angeles and met Maxwell. Sure I had girlfriends, dozens. But none of them lasted or meant anything to me. The only one I thought would make it was Melody. She was a beauty, long flowing blond hair and blue eyes, exactly like Lilly's, exactly. That was why I broke up with her. She was just a temporary replacement for Lilly. And that's when I realized it would never work.
I searched all of Los Angeles for her. She had disappeared after her graduation from college. So I went home, and found the invitation.
She was only 24, why would she throw away her life like that? Why would she give herself away to a man before she could even get car insurance? Why would she let herself be unhappy with a man she probably didn't love? Why would she just let go of her high school sweetheart? She promised she wouldn't, but she would. On March twenty second. She would give up on her first love and move on to someone she would never love.
I remembered looking at her number on the invitation. I called, multiple times. She answered once. And I remembered the whole conversation.
"Hello?" she answered, with formality.
"Lilly…"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Lils I can't believe you don't remember you're best friend" I said using her nickname
After a pause I heard "Oliver …"
"How's life treating you?"
"Ollie …" I think by then her eyes would've been welled up with tears
"Lils…"
"Are you coming to the wedding?" my throat was caught up and my heart got heavy. She wanted to know if I was going to her union with another man.
"Will it make you happy?"
"Yes, it would."
"Then I'll be there." And I said it, without regrets. If it made her happy, then that's all I wanted.
"Thank you Ollie." And I heard a click and a dial tone.
She hung up on me.
And that was the end.
Two weeks later. I was in some starbucks in L.A. I was visiting my sister Andrea. And I saw her walk in, she was wearing huge sunglasses and a pretty yellow sundress. She seemed like a different person. But she was still Lilly to me.
She saw me, and smiled. She was shocked but she still smiled. And she walked out. I could tell she felt awkward and nervous. But what was done, was done. And I couldn't change it.
Another three weeks later I ran into her while I was visiting Malibu. I was driving down to my house when I saw her sitting on her porch in her mother's house. I drove up and asked …
"Do you want a ride?"
"I have no where to go" she said with a weary smile
"It's okay because … neither do I."
She laughed and got in the car. We talked for hours. We drove around all of Malibu , just remembering things. It was nice, but strange. We weren't supposed to be doing this as friends. We were supposed to be so much more. But no, Maxwell will be doing this with her. Not me.
"Do you love him?" I asked knowing she would probably hate me after this
"What do you mean?" her face was a mix of shock and nervousness.
"Do you love him, like you think you do? Like everyone else thinks you do. Do you love him?"
"Yes, I love him"
"Then why are you here with me, in Malibu? When you're wedding is in two days."
"I … uhm … I missed it here."
"Oh."
"Yeah…"
Awkward silence filled the air around us.
"Do you ever think about … us?"
"Every day." She responded me with a simple answer that made my heart jump
"Well what ... uh... happened?"
"College happened, we drifted and I met Maxwell. End of story." She kind of spat that, making me feel sick
"I still love you Lils." I said basically putting my heart on the table
"No." she whispered
"What?"
"No, you can't do this to me Oliver. Not now."
"What do you mean Lilly?"
"Oliver, you stopped answering phone calls, emails, even letters. Oliver you can't just come back and tell me you love me and expect me to cancel my wedding and run away with you." she said with tears in her eyes
"Lilly, you don't love him. I can tell. You're eyes don't have that special spark when you say his name or even talk about him. You don't have that glow, and you're weddings in two days and it's like it's not even happening."
"Maybe, this wasn't my first choice of a husband. Maybe I expected you to be my husband. Maybe I'm making a huge mistake. Those are all just maybe's. Oliver I can't wait for you anymore. I've waited years for you. I didn't accept Maxwell's proposal until weeks later, because I wanted to make sure you weren't coming back. I didn't want to say yes to him. I wanted to marry you. And I love him, but I'm not in love with him. I'm in love with you, but it's over now Oliver. And nothing can change that"
Her speech caught me off guard. I didn't expect her to tell me she still loved me. I didn't expect anything from her. But I got an 'I love you' and a goodbye. But I wasn't going to let her go that easily.
I kissed her. Not a light kiss or a peck, a full on make out session. I needed to show her that we could make it through anything. That no one could change what we felt, not even Maxwell.
"It'll never be over Lilly, we will never be over."
Eh, I might rewrite it. Should I? Reviews make me happy [:
