Shattered Dreams - 2

Part 2

I'm Lilian Mary Truscott, in 14... well... 13 and half... I have been Miley's best friend for over eight years, I met her when she came to Malibu when she was seven... that first day of kindergarten she came wearing ponytails, I remember how she protested when I undid them and chased me all over the classroom... the only moment when our friendship was in danger was that day... when I learned that she kept from me the biggest secret she ever had... that she was Hannah Montana... I felt so hurt... but later I realized why she did it... and the idea of having my own alter-ego was huge... I'm so happy that Mom allowed me to share Miley's dream... probably because she thinks it will help me overcome her divorce with Dad... and then came Oliver... so far I haven't figured out what is it that I feel for him... but I think he feels something for me... I will never forget the day that he fixed my tennis shoes before cheerleading practice and I complained about my right leg being to tense and he innocently began to move his hands all over it even to the point of getting under my skirt and close to...uh... figure it out... I didn't noticed until Natalia came up and just glared at us...

-If you're going to get busy with your boyfriend you should do it after practice and in a uh... more private place don't you think? -she said

Needless to say how I blushed when I realized what he was doing and where he was doing it...

-OLIVER!!

He was so blushed that I feared for his life for second... he's nice... for a while I thought about asking him out... and it was on this awful day that I decided to do it after the game... so we could tell Miley together... but just like my mother said once... life can change in a second... Oliver was helping me warm up when we first heard detonations and noise in the hall...

-What was that?

-No...

-Oliver? What's wrong?

-We have to go

-Wait a minute, what's wrong with you?

Oliver was about to answer when the sounds from the hall answered for him, I could not believe it... people was screaming and shots were fired, I tried to go out the same door Miley went out just a couple of minutes before but Oliver held me back.

-MILEY IS THERE!! LET GO OF ME!!

-WE CAN'T GO THERE!!

I remember pushing Oliver away... why did I do it?... it was then when I saw him... Dylan was smiling with a gun in his hand, he glared at me... I froze there... Oliver stood in front of me... only seconds... that for me were as long as hours...

-Dylan put that thing down...

-No... I'll make everyone pay

-Lily get out

-I'm staying here

-LILIAN GET OUT!! -Oliver yelled

I don't know exactly why I did it... all I know is that I felt like I had to... I pulled Oliver and just kissed him... then... a white flash... when I woke up... Oliver was hugging me...

-Oliver?

When I tried to move I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder, it was then when I noticed that I was injured... I shook Oliver, he opened his eyes slowly.

-Li...Lilian...

-Oliver I'm hurt, we have to get out...get help...

The next thing that I noticed was that my belly was completely wet...when I sat up Oliver moaned and I was terrified to see that my uniform was totally red... but it was not my blood...

-Oliver... y... you're hurt...

-F... find... Miley...

Tears began to run down my face

-No... I won't leave you...

I felt his hand caressing my face... his breathing was very paused...

-I... lo... love you... and... I'll always... be.. with you... just... find Miley...

-DON'T SAY THAT!! YOU'LL BE FINE!! YOU'LL BE FINE UNDERSTAND!? I LOVE YOU!!

He made a big effort to smile...

-I... know...

-please... we... we'll go out of this together... and we... we'll tell Miley about us... and... Oliver?
OLIVER?? OLIVER ANSWER ME!!

I just wished it was a nightmare... a bad dream... but I had to accept reality... Oliver... was gone... and all I could do was cry... cry like I haven't done it before... then I stood up... the pain in my shoulder was overwhelming... and the loss of blood had me really weak... but I had to find Miley... I could still hear shots... but they were far... the halls are silent... I fell on my knees... my vision is blurred... but I have to find Miley... it was Oliver's last request... I have to... I'm up... that ringtone... it's... Miley's... I can see her backpack... but... where is she... the pain in my shoulder is excruciating... I see blood coming under the janitor closet... please... no... I reach for the doorknob... please let it not be...

-MILEY!!

She's so pale... yet... she seems to be peacefully sleeping... no... why... I don't want to lose her too... but I'm too weak... forgive me Oliver... I'm... sorry... I feel no more pain... just... aslee...py...
