Lily watched as a nurse came into her and Oliver's room. Lily's eyes followed from the package of liquid, which she presumed to be pain medication, down the tubes to where it connected to Oliver's arm. Lily noticed the muscle on Oliver's arm was bigger than she had expected it to be. She couldn't help but wonder silently to herself, why was Oliver in here? He didn't look like he was hurt in any way. But what if, this poor unfortunate soul was seriously sick? It' couldn't be right, it shouldn't happen. In just the few minute Lily had known Oliver, he seemed like a nice, caring person who didn't deserve anything bad to happen to him. At least that was all Lily knew about Oliver, but everyone had their secrets, right?

Lily looked over at the nightstand between the two beds, separating the two teenagers. She saw a jersey in blue, gold and white colors. Once Lily saw this she sighed and rolled her eyes. Another stupid jock, who probably wants to get in my pants, Lily didn't want to believe that. She didn't want to believe that there were cruel, selfish, rude people in this world. Sure, Lily wasn't perfect but she hated people who were mean to other people just to boost their self esteem. Lily watched as Oliver reached for the remote that his dad had used to turn the TV off. Oliver pressed power and Lily watched him as he turned on VH1.

Oliver laid in bed; he knew Lily was watching him. But Oliver was used to people staring at him. Oliver was a pretty popular guy at Sea view High, still not as popular as his best friends, Miley Stewart and Jake Ryan. But really, nobody in the world is that popular. Miley's secret had been let out that she was secretly Hannah Montana and Jake Ryan was a movie star, and before you ask, yes they were dating. Come on people, it's not rocket science. Oliver's jaw clenched as he looked over at Lily. He just stared at her, giving her a questioning look for about a minute before talking, breaking the silence.

"What?" Oliver snapped at Lily. With brown still locked with blue Lily cocked her head to the side as she took a good full look at Oliver.

"Why are you here? I mean, you look perfectly fine to me" Lily said as her eyes traveled up and down Oliver's body.

Oliver rolled his eyes and moved the cover off of his right leg, showing Lily the brace that was on his ankle, "Soccer accident. I collided with Tom Owens in a game and I twisted my ankle." Oliver's jaw tightened again as he grimaced at Tom Owens' name rolled off of his tongue. His arch enemy since 8th grade, they hated each other with passion.

Lily's eyes rolled for a second time within ten minutes, "That's it? I've twisted my ankle and I was out in less than 2 hours."

Oliver just glared over at Lily for a moment or two, then broke the silence once again, "I got kicked in the balls. They're running tests because my sperm count is dropping and I might not be able to produce babies by the time I turn 17. I just didn't think someone your age would want to her about that. I bet you probably think I have cooties, don't you little girl?"

Lily always hated looking younger than she really was. She had a slim body, but she really didn't have much of a chest and was a little on the short side. Lily didn't wear any makeup because she knew by the end of the day it would be running down her face along with tears. Why put it to waste? Lily took a deep breath and just shook her head. Her arms crossed over her small chest and looked over at Oliver, "For your information, I'm 15 turning 16 in a few months. And I haven't thought guys had cooties since 9 years before I lost my virginity. Which you probably still have, am I right?" Lily raised an eye brow as a smirk slowly appeared on her face.

"Slut" Oliver mumbled under his breath. He didn't mean it at all, but he couldn't think of anything else to say. If he told her that he had lost his virginity only a month ago on his 16 birthday, he knew that he clever mind would just think of an even better come back.

"You know what Oliver, I knew from that start that you would be an arrogant bastard" Lily lied threw her teeth "And I just want to say that yo-"

Lily was cut off as she heard the door of their room open. Lily's frown turned into one the biggest smiles. Oliver watched her piercing blue eyes light up along with her smile and couldn't help but smile as well.

"Adam!" Lily cheered as she sat up in the bed and opened her arms wide as Adam filled them. They hugged for about a minute.

Oliver watch the guy that came into hug Lily as he turned into the green eyed monster. Now Oliver was never really the jealous type, but there was just something about Lily that made him act that way. Oliver thought it was just the medicine messing with his head since he and Lily had just met.

Adam was about 5"10 with short dirty blond hair and big brown eyes. His skin was tan from the California sun, like Oliver's but somewhat tanner. Adam looked like he was around 18, even though he was 28. But that was what made Oliver react that was, thinking it was her boyfriend that had come to see her. Oliver sat back and watched the two pull apart, both with smiles plastered on their faces. It made Oliver sick.

"What are you doing here Adam?" Lily asked curiously.

"I was the one who brought you here princess" Adam cooed as he kissed Lily's forehead and smoother her hair with his hand.

"You didn't do this, did you?" Lily's smile suddenly vanished as the thought came into her head. What if it was Adam who caused the damage to her? Lily didn't remember anything but Carol coming home from the bar, drunk as hell.

Do what? Oliver thought. Then he examined her body from what he could see. There were scratches, stitches on her cheek and upper arm. He also noticed that most of the visible skin was covered in bruises or cuts.

"Of course not princess, I came into Carol's house to find you on the stairs bleeding and unconscious. I'm pretty sure it was Carol." Adam said, but then grew nervous. If she only remembered the time Adam was there when Carol and he were both drunk, then he would be in so much trouble. She would know that she had been raped at just 15 years old, a few months after her birthday, by the man she considered a father figure.

Oliver caught onto Adam's nervousness, was he the one who hurt her? What really happened earlier that caused Lily pain and agony? These were the questions running through the head of 16 year old Oliver Oken.

About 10 minutes later Adam had left and Oliver turned his head towards Lily "Sorry I was an ass a while ago, I just hate being in the hospital"

Lily gave Oliver a soft smile that sent chills up and down his spine "its ok, I've dealt with bigger asses than you"

Oliver sat up on the bed and turned his body towards Lily, "So, was that your boyfriend?"

Lily put her hand over her mouth to try and keep herself from laughing, but she couldn't. She started to have fits of giggles that she just couldn't control, while Oliver was just sitting there looking at her like she was crazy. Once Lily calmed down she sat up on the bed and turned to Oliver, just as he did to her, "Adam is my Aunt's ex-fiancé. He is like a dad to me"

Oliver nodded, still having a funny feeling about Adam. It was something he just couldn't explain. There was just some vibe Adam was giving off that set off an alarm for Oliver.

"So, what school do you go to?" Oliver asked Lily curiously.

"I go to Pacific Coast Academy right now, but I am transferring to a school named Sea view High or whatever. Where do you go?" Lily said with a small sigh, she loved PCA. Mostly because it was a boarding school, which meant she would only see her aunt on the weekends when she had to come and visit Lily to give her money for food, clothes and other things she needed. But Sea view was not a boarding school, which was one of the many reasons Lily did not want to go.

"Whoa, that's weird. I go to Sea view. What grade are you in?" Oliver asked, amazed that they were going to the same school.

"11th you?"

"Same here, but aren't you a little young to be in 11th?"

"I skipped 6th grade"

Oliver made the shape of an 'o' with his lips and nodded.

Lily and Oliver talked for the rest of the night, cracking up into fits of laughter occasionally. Once they grew tired Lily asked one of the nurses to put in the movie 'A Walk to Remember' and the nurse nodded with a smile as she put it in for Lily and Oliver and pressed play then walked out of the room.

"You've got to be kidding me Lils!" Oliver whined using his new nickname for Lily.

"Shut up, I'm trying to watch the movie" Lily put a note to self in her head to come up with a nick name for Oliver.

"Fine." Oliver grumbled as he watched the movie, he hated watching chick flicks, never once had a girl gotten him to shut up while watching them and actually watch them. Well of course besides Lily. And it amazed him at how quickly Lily got to him.

He looked over and smiled as watched Lily drift off to sleep. Then Oliver reached over and turned off the light then slowly drifted off to sleep himself. Neither knowing what tomorrow would bring.
