Disclaimer: I own nothing.
A/N: So I'm attempting to make this into a three-shot. I hope it turned out well.
Ok Lilly, get a hold of yourself. You can't avoid him forever. He's still your best friend.
It's been a month since my "I like Oliver" revelation and everyone has noticed how differently I've been acting towards him.
"Ugh!" I say out loud.
Miley looks up from her books, "Lilly, what's wrong?"
I give her a sad look and she instantly knows what's on my mind.
"You know, you're going to have to talk to Oliver eventually," she puts an arm around me, "It's getting hard for me having to lie to him about why you're avoiding him like the plague."
I sigh, "I know Miley. It's just hard for me to be just a friend when I like him as more than that. It's even harder to see him flirt with those other girls."
"Don't even worry about those other girls. Remember what I said? They laugh at him because he bobs his head like a chicken and falls off his chair," she reassures me.
The phone rings before we get the chance to talk some more.
"Hey Oliver," Miley answers, "Uh… yeah, she's here. Oh, well, she's not really feeling well…"
I clear my throat causing Miley to look at me. I shake my head.
Miley understands, "Yeah, she'll be there. All right, bye."
She takes a seat next to me, "He wants to meet you at the beach in ten minutes."
Here goes nothing.
10 minutes later
Lilly, you need to stop being so nervous. You're shaking. It's just Oliver, right? Ugh… so wrong. Well, you know what they say – honesty is the best policy. I'm sure once you tell him what has been going on, he'll understand.
Or it could cause him to hate you and ruin your friendship.
That was a bit dramatic.
There he is. See, he looks nervous too. He's shaking his leg and smoothing out his hair. I can't help but smile at how cute he looks.
There's no turning back now.
I walk up to him and take a seat, "Hey Oliver."
He looks up, "Finally! So why have you been avoiding me for the past month?"
"I wouldn't say I was avoiding you. I've just been… busy," I say, hoping he'll believe me.
"Lilly, I know you too well to know that you're lying," he looks at me, "Have I done something to make you mad?"
I look down and avoid his eyes, "No, Oliver, you haven't. I've just been taking time to myself figuring things out."
He immediately starts asking, "Figuring what out? Is everything ok?"
I smile at his concern, "Yes, everything is… well… it's as good as it can get. Anyways, I want to apologize for the way I've been behaving towards you. You didn't deserve it. Like I said, I was figuring things out. But it's ok now."
He looks at me skeptically, "Are you sure? I mean, you avoided me for a month and couldn't even talk to me about whatever it is you were trying to figure out. I'm your best friend, Lilly."
Wow, he really knows how to make a girl feel bad.
"Trust me, Oliver. It won't happen again. I promise. And again, I'm really sorry," I look him in the eyes and hope he believes me.
He's staring at me.
He's still staring at me.
Will you please just say something?!
"All right, fine," he says. Finally! "But if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you."
"I know," I get up, "Thanks."
He also gets up and gives me a hug. Oh, I definitely missed this.
Yes, I know I didn't give him a real reason. I couldn't because I'm scared. That's right, I'm scared. I mean, what if it did ruin our friendship.If he didn't feel the same then our friendship would just be awkward. I'd rather have him as a friend then lose him.
Sigh, I can settle for this.
A/N: I know Lilly didn't tell Oliver the real reason. Maybe she will in the next chapter? Hm… Well, I tried (and am trying) to make a three-shot. Hope this was ok.
