AN: Thanks to SameDeanWinchesterLove, adryrules99, Arisa Beryy, and IheartORANGE for reviewing. All of you guys put this on story alert; that's awesome. Now we move on to the flash back chapters. Hope you guys like it and RR.
"Thanks Jackson." Oliver said, as he scooped up two hot dogs and drinks from the counter of Rico's Surf Shack. He tried not to drop or spill anything as he stumbled his way over to a table on the other side of the beach.
"Here you go, Lills" Oliver said, placing a hot dog and drink in front of his best friend. "Hope I didn't go overboard on the mustard this time."
"Nope. It's perfect." Lilly said after examining her food. "Thanks Oliver." She started to reach into her shorts pocket.
"No, No." Oliver stuck his hand out to stop her. "This one's on me."
"Thanks." Lilly replied. "But you don't have to do tha-"
"I insist." Oliver cut her off. "Eat up."
Lilly took a bite of her dog and Oliver felt a smile curling at his lips as he sipped his drink.
"So how's Joannie?" Lilly asked. "I have seen or head from her in awhile."
Oliver stopped drinking and put his cup down on the table. "We broke up, Lilly..."
Lilly gasped. "Aww, I'm sorry! I didn't know!" She, too, stopped eating and concentrated on Oliver. "When did this happen?"
"Yesterday." Oliver informed.
Lilly reached out and rubbed Oliver's shoulder. "Wanna talk about it?" She asked, in a caring voice.
"Don't get too worked up." Oliver said. "I was the one who broke up with her."
"What!?" Lilly's eyes widen. "Why? You guys were perfect for each other!"
" No we weren't. "Oliver replied.
"Are you kidding me!?" Lilly exclaimed. "She was everything you ever wanted in a girl and you loved her!"
"I liked her," Oliver started. "But I never loved her..."
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"She was everything I ever wanted in a girl." Oliver began. "But the truth is there's another girl who has those qualities. A better girl. One that I can actually say I love whole-heartedly."
"Oliver's got a crush!" Lilly replied in a sing-song voice. "You've got to tell me who it is!"
"Way to act mature about this." Oliver replied with a little laugh.
"Do I know her?" Lilly asked eagerly, ignoring Oliver's comment.
"Yeah...you know her." Oliver began. "You know her...pretty well."
A slightly look of horror formed on Lilly's face. "Please don't tell me it's Mi-"
"No, no!" Oliver quickly blurted out. "Never!"
"Good!" Lilly said with a sigh of relief. "Then who is it?"
Oliver swallowed hard at the knot that had formed in his throat. He could feel his face warming and was almost certain he was ready to pass out. This is what he'd been wanting to do for the twelve years of friendship they had. This is the moment he'd been waiting for.
He started to lean in ever so closely to his best friend with each word. "I-It's...L-Lilly...I..."
Oliver got with a few inches of Lilly when the piercing loud ring tone of her phoned startled them both. It was sitting on the table between the two of them.
"Sorry!" Lilly apologized and quickly grabbed the phone off the table. "Just one sec."
"Yeah, sure, whatever..." Oliver let out a flustered sigh.
"Hey mom." Lilly spoke into her cell phone. "At the beach with Oliver, why? What? Right now!? But I'm kinda in the middle of something, can't it wait? Oh, alright. Fine! I'll be there in a minute." Lilly had hung up without saying to goodbye. "Ugh!" She said in disgust as she slammed the phone down. "Sorry, Oliver. I can't talk right now."
"Wha-Why?" Oliver asked.
"My mom needs me at home." She explained getting up from her seat. "She said it was important and sounded a little frantic."
"But, but this will only take a second." Oliver replied getting up. "Can't you just wait?"
"My mom said to hurry." Lilly said, tossing her half eaten hotdog in the trash. She started running. "I'm really sorry! I'll catch up with you later tonight!"
"But I leave out of state for my grandparent's house tonight!" Oliver called out in a whine. "I won't be back for a week!"
"Then call, text, or whatever!" Lilly shouted back. Her figure was almost gone from sight. "Have fun, Ollie! Bye!"
Oliver stood by his chair and stared off in the direction Lilly had went.
"Yeah..." He spoke quietly out loud to himself. "I'll have tons of fun..."
Oliver picked up his drink and the hotdog that he never even took a bite of and headed back home. He stopped at the trash can by Rico's and pitched his hotdog.
"That's a perfectly good hotdog! What are you doing!? "Jackson cried out from behind the counter.
Oliver didn't bother looking up at Jackson when he spoke. "I'm not hungry anymore..." He muttered and continued to sulk off the beach and all the way back to his house.
Declaration of love interrupted; a classic situation. Depending on how fast the reviews come in and how many of them I receive will determine if the second chapter gets posted later today or tomorrow morning. Either way, I'd say an update will happen with in this 24 hour period. Thanks again and keep reading!
