Hey you all…well, I decided to do a song fic to "Two Is Better Than One" because that's my favorite song right now….I'm extremely addicted to it right now!! I hope you all like it!! =]
There she was! The love of my life, the girl who stole my heart, the one I couldn't live without was sitting on the beach waiting for me. I ran to her. I couldn't explain it, but every time I saw Lilly, I just wanted to go and sweep her up in my arms and escape out of Malibu and start our lives together.
"Hey Lilly-pop," I said as I grabbed her hand and helped her up. I kissed her on her sweet lips that tasted like strawberries.
"Oliver," Lilly said. I looked into her blue eyes. "We need to talk."
Uh-oh! This was not good. I mean, whenever Lilly said we need to talk, it was never good.
"Okay, Lilly if this is about yesterday when we were playing the game Apple to Apples with Miley, Jackson, Rico, and Todd, I was just joking about the adjective card demanding when I said somebody needs to lay down women or girlfriends," I said trying to cover up for myself.
"Oliver that's not what I'm talking about," Lilly said.
Well if it wasn't that, then what was it? Oh! Wait! Ooh, I'm in big trouble.
"Lilly, I swear it's all my little brother's fault for being late on our date last Saturday!"
"Oliver it's not about you being late," she said.
"Then what is it?" I asked.
She looked at me with tears falling down her cheeks. "Oliver this is not easy for me to say, but…"
"Lilly, come on what is it?" I asked.
She backed away from me. I was confused. What's happening?
"Oliver, I can't see you anymore!" Lilly said breaking down into tears. She turned her back to me and started running.
I watched her as she ran. I didn't know what to do. I started getting dizzy. I couldn't keep myself stable. I fell backwards on the sand. This couldn't be happening.
Life without Lilly seemed worthless, useless, and pointless. It seemed like there wasn't a reason to continue breathing. I have every day I've spent with Lilly memorized. And every day they play in my head like a movie.
"Hi I'm Lilly," a three year old girl with blonde pig tails wearing a purple skirt, a green long sleeve shirt that had a small parrot on it, and some sandals.
"I'm Oliver," a little three year old boy said.
"Can I color with you?" she asked.
"Sure," Oliver said.
"I really like your crayons," Lilly said.
"Really? I'll let you use them if you'll hold my hand," the little boy said raising his eyebrows up and down repeatedly.
"Okay, but only because that face you're making is scary," Lilly said. Reluctantly she grabbed the boy's hand. She wouldn't admit it, but she didn't want to let go of his hand.
The teacher was walking around the room monitoring the students. She stopped by Lilly and Oliver last. "Oliver Oken let go of Lilly Truscott's hand!"
"Yes Mrs. Howell," Oliver said like a little boy scared of a monster under his bed.
Lilly was definitely something. She was the person that you didn't want to lose. You didn't want to throw her out of your life. Everything she said. Everything she did. It all takes my breath away.
"Hey," Lilly said coming up into my tree house and sitting beside me.
We were nineteen, and we still hung out in my tree house.
"Are you sure you still want to talk to me?" I asked.
"Of course I do," she said smiling. "Oliver, nobody blames you. They all know it was an accident."
"Lilly I killed her! It doesn't matter if it was an accidental murder! I still took a life away!" I yelled.
"Oliver, it was dark and he was wearing dark clothes. The family didn't press any charges against you," Lilly said looking into my eyes.
"Lilly, I was driving over the speed limit. And all of a sudden this girl jumps out across the road. I didn't see her until it was too late. I slam my foot on the break, but it was too late. Before I know, I hear a thump on the car," I said with a tear rolling down my cheek. I walked to the mini-refrigerator. I grabbed a bottle of whiskey.
"Oliver Oken, what is that?!" Lilly questioned.
"It's some whiskey. Do you want some?" I asked offering.
"Oliver put the bottle down!" she said.
"Lilly, you don't understand. You don't know what it feels like!" I said.
"And yes you're right Oliver! I don't understand or know what you're going through! But alcohol isn't going to take away the pain and suffering you're going through or change things!" Lilly said. "Oliver put the bottle down!"
I did what she said. She got up and walked over to where I was. She stood beside me for a minute calming down. She grabbed the bottle. She took it with her as she climbed down the ladder out of my tree house. I watched her out the window. She threw the bottle against a tree. To my surprise, she climbed back up the ladder.
Tears started rolling down my eyes as she looked at me with her blue eyes.
"Oliver don't beat yourself up over something you had no control over!" she said to me with tears rolling down her eyes. She ran to me and hugged me. I hugged her back.
Lilly always seem to know the right thing to do. She was always there for me when no one else was.
She helped me realize who I could be.
"Hey high school graduate! Congratulations!" Lilly said to me. "So what does it feel like? The last thing we wear at this school are our robes. Are you ready for the future?"
"Lilly, I don't think I can do this," I said.
"Of course you can. I know we're skipping over the biggest party of the year to go and spend this night with our families, but you know it means a lot to them," Lilly said.
"No that's not what I mean," I said.
She looked at me and smiled. "Ah, you mean you don't think you'll survive out in the real world?"
I nodded. She looked at me with genuine care on her face. "Oliver, do you remember when you first learned how to ride a bike? And how you kept on falling, but you just kept getting back on."
"Yeah, but that was because my dad made me," I said.
"Well, the point is, is that you are going to fall. But you have people around you who love you that they're gonna put you right back on that bike!"
"Lilly, this is the cheesiest piece of advice you have ever given to me," I said.
"Yeah, I know," she said. She looked at me, "Did it help?"
"Yeah," I said. I kissed her. What did I do to deserve Lilly?
Whenever I was around Lilly, it was like she could see right through me. She had me coming undone. I was confessing my deepest fears to her. Telling her secrets that me insecure. I was nothing without Lilly. I just can't help thinking two is better than one.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought,
"Hey, you know this could be something."
Cause' everything you do and words you say
You know it all takes my breath away
Now I'm left with nothing
And maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Well maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time to figure the best of my life
And you've got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
