Oliver was tired. Tired of keeping everything in. Tired of dropping hints,
only to have them be ignored and misunderstood. Tired of standing back
and watching as guy after guy hurt her. Hiding his true feelings only
worsened things and prolonged his agony. Ignoring them didn't work at all;
they always came back even stronger than before and made it impossible to
forget.
So, he only had one choice, and that was to somehow tell her how he
felt about her. He had kept his secret for years, and what had that gotten
him? An aching heart and countless times of wondering if she liked him
back. No, this was the only solution to his problem. Now, if only he could
figure out how he was going to do it . . .
Late that night, Oliver lay on his bed, trying desperately to come up
with a way to tell Lilly that he loved her. If he could just find out how she
felt first, it would be a whole lot easier for him, but he knew that the odds of
that happening were a million to one. Lilly hardly showed her true feelings
to anyone. But there had to be a way. Oliver sighed in frustration and
grabbed his iPod. It was always easier for him to think when he was
listening to music. He put it on shuffle and closed his eyes, barely noticing
that the song that had been picked was "Faking My Own Suicide" by Relient
K. Subconsciously, he began to sing along.
So I've made up my mind
I will pretend
To leave this world behind
And in the end
You'll know I've lied
To get your attention
I'm faking my own suicide
I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
Wish you thought that I was dead
So rather than me
You'd be depressed instead
And before arriving at my grave
You'd come to the conclusion
You've loved me all your days
But it's too late
Too late for you to say
Because I'm faking my own suicide
Because I know you love me
You just haven't realized
I'm faking my own suicide
They'll hold a double funeral
Because a part of you will die
Along with me
I'll write you a letter that
You'll keep
Reminding you your love for me
Is more than six feet deep
You say aloud that you
Would've been my wife
Right about that time
Is when I come back to life
And let you know
I'd let you know (whooaa)
I was faking my own suicide
Because I know you loved me
You just never realized
I was faking my own suicide
I'll walk in that room and
See your eyes open so wide
I've been so lost
Because you know
Because you know
You will never leave my sight (you will never leave my sight)
Until the day that I die for the first time (until I die for the first time)
And we'll laugh, yeah we'll laugh
And we will cry
So overjoyed with the love
That saved my life
Our love is so alive
About halfway through the song, Oliver's eyes shot open. He quickly
restarted it and really listened to the lyrics. His hands shook as he realized
that there, in that random song, was the answer to his problem. Sure, it was
risky, ridiculous, and could end up being a complete disaster. But he didn't
know what else to do; he was desperate. That night, he stayed up until three
in the morning, trying to figure out who to convince first to help him out.
