A Very Stressful Prom
Chapter 4
I Love You
Ok, so let's go through everything that made my life turn from fantastic to completely suckish. First off, I found Joanie and Josh discussing something with each other, making me very suspicious of those two. Secondly, Josh totally made me feel like crap and the worst person in the world when he put his hands on me and called me baby. And to top it all off I found Joanie and Oliver talking, laughing, and hugging on the beach together. So, here I was, in my bed sleeping with tear stained eyes, I've been that way for who knows how long, my mom and Miley were both smart enough to know not to bother me for awhile.
"Lilly, honey, I know you don't want to be bothered and you don't really want to talk to anyone right now, but I really want you to eat something, please open your door so that I can give you this bowl of food," I heard my mom say from behind the door waking me up.
I didn't really want to be rude to my mom and tell her that I really wasn't all that hungry, so I got up and opened the door, "Thanks mom," I gave her a smile taking the bowl of beef stew out of her hands.
"No problem sweetie and you know when you want to talk; I'll be right downstairs or in my room, right down the hall, okay," she sighed, probably worried about me, putting her hand under my cheek and stroking my cheek with her thumb.
"I know mom, thank you, I'll be fine, and if I need someone to talk to, I know where to find you," I smiled again setting the food down on my dresser before giving her a hug.
"I love you sweetie," she whispered in my ear.
"I love you too mom," I whispered back before pulling away. She smiled at me for a second before walking back downstairs. Once she was gone I closed my door and looked at my phone to see what time it was and to see if Oliver had called. It was ten 'o clock, meaning I slept for a good four hours.
Then I checked my calls. Calls from: Miley, Miley, Miley, Kelly, Asher, Miley, Miley, and my cousin Jessica. So I guess there were no calls from Oliver.
"Why wouldn't he call me, I'm sure Miley has talked to him by now, she probably yelled at him, so he should be calling me to talk about it," I said to myself sitting criss-cross on my bed and just staring at my phone hoping, maybe it would make him call.
After a few minutes of doing nothing, I finally got up off my bed and grabbed my blue and white striped sweater from my closet, and then I went to the door and picked up my black converses to put them on. "Ok, so how do I get out of here without letting my mom know I'm leaving," I pondered looking around my room. Then it came to me, I ran over and opened up my balcony before grabbing a rope that Oliver and I put up in case we ever needed to sneak out, this was definitely one of those times. My mom would never let me leave the house at ten 'o clock at night, under any circumstances, and I needed to see Oliver, now. So I threw my legs over the ledge of the balcony, grabbed tightly onto the rope and climbed down.
Once I was safely on the ground, I ducked under my kitchen window, which is where my mom was, cleaning the dishes, and began running down the sidewalk to Oliver's house, which was like five houses away. As I started nearing the Oken household I looked to the side of the house to see if Oliver's bedroom light was on, it luckily was. When I was right under his balcony, I unraveled the rope that was tied to the tree and began to climb up it. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, damn, he got the rough rope I'm guessing," I whined grabbing onto the top of the balcony and pulling myself up. "Easy Lilly, easy, easy, easy, ouch," I screeched as I dropped onto the balcony.
"What the heck is going-, Lilly, what are you doing," he exclaimed helping me up.
"Sorry, I kind of slipped and fell, I'm fine now though," I apparently lied because right as I stepped away to show him that I was okay, I almost fell again. Luckily he grabbed me before I hit the floor.
"You're not fine, come on," he sighed wrapping his arms around my waist as he helped me into his room and onto his bed to sit down.
"Ugh, thanks, man I didn't think I hit the floor that hard," I winced rubbing my bare leg, I was wearing jean shorts.
"Here, let me go get you an ice pack or something, stay right here," he said sliding his arms out from behind my waist and walking out of his room, shutting the door softly.
Once he was gone, I looked around the room and took in the smell of the bedroom, lying down on the bed with my feet dangling off. I stayed there for about ten minutes before he walked back in, shutting the door softly again.
"Here, hold this against your leg," he said handing me an ice pack while he sat down on the bed next to me.
"Ouch, ouch, it stings," I winced touching the ice pack to a scrape on my knee that I got when I fell down.
"Wow, I've never seen you wince at that kind of pain," he laughed holding the ice pack, that I removed, back to my leg, and holding it there.
"Hush, it really hurts," I giggled lightly slapping him on his chest.
"So how are you going to get back to your house then, I'm not letting you limp all the way back, you might fall and hurt yourself again, plus your mom might find out you snuck out, because you won't be able to climb up that rope with a hurt leg, like yours," he smirked at me looking me straight into the eyes.
"Yeah…wait, how did you know I snuck out," I questioned wondering how he knew.
"Please Lill, I know you and your family way too well, your not aloud to leave your house after eight-thirty on school nights, nine-thirty on weekends and holidays, your mom is very strict on those rules," he chuckled still holding the ice pack to my leg and began rubbing my leg with his thumb, I love it when he does that.
"Guess I kind of forgot how long and well we've known each other for a second there," I grinned at him. "Well, all I know is that I could not stay in that house any longer, so then I decided to come here, where I could see you," I told him touching his arm and laying my head on his shoulder.
"You really wanted to see me that badly, huh," he lit-up still rubbing my leg.
"Of course, I hate it when I'm away from you, you should know that," I reminded him closing my eyes for a good three minutes as we sat in a comfortable silence. "Oh, and do you remember how I wasn't supposed to meet David Archuleta until this weekend," I perked up, picking my head up off his shoulder as he nodded, "Well, I got to meet him today, I didn't really want to stay with Josh, he got on my nerves very quickly, so I went to the bathroom, texted Miley to come help me change into Lola, and went to meet him, he's really nice, I don't really understand why you don't like him," I joked telling him about my day. "Oh man, and the song that their doing together is called 'I wanna know you', I got to listen to the beat of the song, and read the lyrics, it was such an awesome song," I finished, exhaling.
"Wow, sounds like you had fun, did you guys do anything for the prom," he wondered.
"No, we left the studio, Josh got another ride, and then we went straight Miley's house, I wasn't really in the mood to do any prom stuff today, we're working on it tomorrow, well, Miley and I are, Josh is going back to work with the 'annoying, bickering couple'," I laughed.
"Why isn't he working with you guys anymore," he pried wanting to know the whole story, I didn't really want to talk to anyone about that right now, especially my boyfriend.
"I just couldn't handle anymore Josh, and I think Miley was starting to see how much he really ticked me off," I answered rolling my eyes and shivering at the thought of Josh.
"So you won't be spending anymore time with Josh," he beamed picking his head up to look at me.
"I can honestly say that he will definitely not be hitting on me, coming near me, or doing anything that involves me in the situation," I chirped glad to see him so happy.
"So do you think he'll ask Miley to prom now," he questioned.
"I don't think so, I really don't think Miley is into him as much anymore," I giggled remembering earlier today.
"Thank God, Josh is completely out of our lives now, no more dealing with jealousy," he smiled putting his hand, that wasn't holding the ice pack and rubbing my leg, into the air excitedly.
"Yeah huh, about that," I frowned pulling his hand down making him look at me a little surprised. "I'm not exactly jumping for joy about you spending time talking, laughing, and being friendly with your ex, a.k.a the girl I hate," I glared at him.
"Look Lilly, I was just talking to her it's not a big deal," he explained.
"Please, she will do whatever it takes to get you back, she's not the type to let you go that easily, I don't want the risk of losing you," I said. Right as he opened his mouth I put my hand up to stop him, "And don't say that she is going to just be a friend, because Joanie can't be, 'just a friend', she's going to try breaking us up, there is no way I'm letting that happen, so please, I'm begging you, don't hang out with her anymore, I trust you, but after everything she's done to me in the past, there is no way I can trust her, especially after what happened yesterday."
"Fine, I get it, you don't want me spending time with her, I won't, not if it means losing you," he smiled kissing my forehead.
"Thank you, now I have another question, why didn't you call me, you always call around nine, and I looked through my phone calls, none from you," I pointed out pulling my phone out from my shorts pocket and showing it to him.
"Sorry, I just, I was a little out of it this afternoon, nothing you need to worry about though," he said taking his other hand and rubbing my leg, that wasn't hurt, up and down.
"Okay, I won't pry," I giggled putting my arm around his neck. "But there is something that I really want right now, something I haven't been able to get since this morning," I smirked.
"Hm, I think I can help with that," he smirked back leaning in and kissing me. I don't know if it was the fact that we haven't kissed each other all day, or if we haven't seen each other for awhile, or if it's because we had a heart-to-heart, but this kiss was different than our usual ones. He wrapped his hand, that wasn't holding the ice pack, around my waist rubbing it back and forth while the hand that was holding the ice pack went a little up above my knee as we kissed a very passionate kiss.
"Mm," I moaned reluctantly pulling away from our kiss.
"What, what's wrong, did I hurt your leg," he choked looking at my leg and then picking up the ice pack that had fallen on the floor during our makeout session.
"No, no, no, it's not that, my leg is fine, but I just remembered that I need to be back home by at least, let's see, my mom probably took about fifteen minutes doing the dishes, I was supposed to be eating my dinner, that would take about thirty minutes, and she probably would have let me sleep a little longer too, so I need to be home by eleven, what time is it," I worried pulling my cell phone out and looking at the time. It was exactly ten-forty. "Oh, I need to get home," I hurried to put my phone back and tried to get up, but Oliver wouldn't allow me to do that.
"I told you I wasn't letting you limp home, but if I'm with you, then it will be fine, come on I don't want you to be late," he sighed helping me off the bed by wrapping an arm around my waist and then walking out his bedroom door.
"What about your parents," I whispered as we began walking down the hallway.
"They went to sleep around nine and they will never notice I'm gone, now hurry up," he whispered back as he scooped me up into his arms, so that it would be easier to get down the stairs. "Alright, there you go," he breathed setting me down on the floor before wrapping his arm back around my waist and opening the front door.
When we were safely outside and no one could hear us, we began walking down the sidewalk and talking, "Oh I meant to tell you what Miley and I were discussing on the way to the recording studio," I chirped happy that we didn't have to whisper any longer. "We were in the car and when Miley turned the radio on, the song 'Lucky' by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat was on, and Miley kind of made a point."
"What point would that be," he asked pulling me up closer to him.
"Well, seeing as how we can't seem to decide which song is our song, 'Thinking about you' by Radiohead or 'Yellow' by Coldplay, 'Lucky' is a song that truly relates to us and always makes us think of each other, so now it's my ringtone for you," I giggled pulling out my phone and playing the song.
"They don't know how long it takes, waiting for a love like this, every time we say goodbye, I wish we had one more kiss, I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will," the second verse played making him grin and stop the both of us so that he could put his free hand on my cheek and lean down to kiss me.
"I love you with all my heart Lilly," he smiled again licking his lip when we pulled away.
"I love you too Oliver," I smiled back at him forgetting about the fact that I was supposed to be getting home.
"Well uh, I have that song as my ringtone for you too, I was listening to it on the radio a few hours ago, thought about you, and decided to get it," he smiled pulling his phone out of his pocket as we began walking again.
"Lucky I'm in love with my best friend, lucky to have been where we have been, lucky to be coming home again," the chorus of the song played from his phone.
"Aw, that is so sweet," I smirked kissing his cheek.
"Yeah I know, that's just how I am," he slyly said flipping his hair.
"Oh, shut up," I giggled at his cuteness slapping his chest.
"Well, here we are, I'll help you get inside," he whispered to me looking at my very dark balcony, I only had a lamp on.
"How the hell do you think you are going to do that exactly," I scoffed leaning on the tree next to my window as he untied the rope from it.
"I have absolutely no idea, is your mom asleep," he questioned looking back at me as the rope swung back and forth.
"Gee, I'm out here and she's in there, oh, here let me channel my psychic powers," I sarcastically screeched in a low tone to him.
"Ugh, well let me climb up and check the house," he latched himself onto the rope.
"No way, what if she isn't asleep and she sees you," I quietly screamed at him while pulling him back onto the ground.
"Well, do you have a better idea, I didn't think so," he groaned getting back onto the rope and began climbing up to the top while I just stuck my tongue out at him.
"We laugh til' we cry, read each other's minds, live with a smile, make it all worth while," my phone began to ring so I quickly picked it up.
"Miley, why are you calling me so late," I growled into my phone.
"Geez, sorry, you didn't answer my phone calls, I thought something was wrong, is something wrong," she interrogated.
"Miley, I will talk to you tomorrow," I grumbled seeing Oliver come out so I shut the phone and turned it off, so that I wouldn't get anymore harassing phone calls from her for the rest of the night.
"Your mom is asleep, I'm coming out the front door to get you inside, do you think you could limp over there," he yelled softly down to me.
"Yeah, that'll be no problem," I softy yelled back moving from my spot and limping over to the front door as Oliver ran down the stairs. "Ouch, stupid bush," I hissed when a rough leaf on a bush hit my knee while I tried to get to the front of the house.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm right here, come on," Oliver whispered to me pulling me up into his arms.
"I enjoy this," I giggled wrapping my arms around his neck as he walked into the house and shut the door behind him. "I don't know why, but I feel like a princess," I chuckled softly making him grin.
"Well sadly, I have to put the beautiful princess down, I need to see when I'm trying to walk up the stairs," he said as he set me on the floor. "Hey, have you eaten?"
"Uh, no, my mom gave me some food earlier, but I never ate it," I whispered holding onto the banister.
"Well, you need to eat before you go to bed, so is that food still up there," he questioned.
"Um, well, no, I kind of fed it to Luna, I knew she would eat it," I guiltily said looking down, Luna was my little teacup poodle.
"Oh Lilly, well let me get you something, how is your knee feeling, do you think you can make it up there," he wondered looking at my knee.
"I'll be fine Oliver, I'm not useless, plus I have this to hold onto," I softly hit the banister that I was leaning on.
"Alright, be careful going up the stairs, I'm going to get you some food," he warned kissing my forehead.
"Alright, go, go, go," I pushed starting to climb up the stairs already.
After about three or more minutes of carefully climbing up the stairs, I finally made it to the top, "Whew, finally," I quietly cheered limping quietly to my room and opening up the door right as Luna jumped off my bed and ran over to me. "Hey sweetheart," I smiled picking her up in my arms and limping over to my bed so that I could sit down to pet her. "Did you like the food I gave you, girl," I chuckled scratching her ear as she kicked her leg. "Yeah, I thought so," I laughed.
"Alright, here you go, I brought you the rest of that beef stew your mom made for dinner and an ice pack," Oliver whispered walking into my room with a bowl of stew, a glass of sweet tea, and a small bag of ice, and then shutting the door behind him. "Hey Luna," he cooed as she jumped into his arms after he handed me the bag of ice and set the food and drink down on my nightstand.
"Thank you Oliver, um, I think you should be heading home by now, I don't want you getting into any trouble," I said to him while he scratched Luna's neck and I started eating the beef stew once the ice was securely on my leg.
"Yeah, but I really don't want to leave, my mom doesn't wake up until like seven thirty, and your mom doesn't wake up until, what, seven, I can be out of here by six thirty," he gave me the puppy dog face. "I don't think Luna wants me to leave either," he said putting Luna's cute little face up to his.
"Alright fine, but if my mom catches you and I get into trouble, you are so going down with me," I warned him taking another bite of my dinner.
"Alright, cool, trust me, I'll be out of here by six thirty, here let me set my alarm and your alarm," he said pushing buttons on my alarm clock and then pushing buttons on his phone to set his alarm clock after setting Luna on the bed. Then she decided to jump off.
"You want to watch some TV while I eat," I asked sliding back in my bed and putting the comforter over my legs making sure the ice pack didn't move.
"Sure, sounds good to me, what's on," he asked taking the remote off the bed and flipping through the channels.
"Oh, I love that movie, turn it back," I squealed.
"Alright, what is-, ugh, Lilly, I don't want to watch A Walk to Remember, it's a chick flick," he whined after turning it back to ABC Family.
"Well too damn bad, I haven't seen this movie in years, and I love it," I shot back taking the remote out of his hands and placing it next to me.
"Fine, but I get to pick the next movie we watch, whenever that is," he gave up putting the cover over him and putting his arm around me as he lay down.
"Thank you, now watch the movie," I demanded taking a sip of my tea.
After about ten minutes into the movie, I had finished my dinner, "Do you want to go get changed for bed," Oliver asked when he saw me set the food on my nightstand.
"Yeah, I'll be right back," I spoke, slowly getting out of bed just as a commercial came on, then I hurriedly grabbed my clothes off my dresser and ran into the bathroom to change, hoping that I wouldn't miss any of the movie.
"You took the remote with you," Oliver yelped quietly in disbelief once I had walked back into my room in my satin blue and purple lined pajama pants and my green tank top.
"I knew you would probably change the channel while I was gone, so I took it with me, yes," I squeaked sliding back into the bed.
"You are really unbelievable," he stared at me.
"Aw, thank you," I chuckled, laying back down when he suddenly got a confused look on his face. "J-just watch the movie Oliver," I sighed with a smile on my face.
"Yeah, easier said than done," he groaned wrapping his arm around me again. "I'm guessing your leg is feeling better, you didn't really have a trouble walking when you went to change your clothes, and you didn't put the ice pack back on either," he pointed out.
"Yeah, I guess it is," I smiled cuddling up next to him as we began watching A Walk to Remember again. "Ollie?"
"Yeah Lill," he questioned stroking my hair putting a smile on my face.
I sat there smiling for a second as the thought of telling him about what happened with Josh or not telling him about Josh was a good or bad idea. I was still a little shook up over what happened, I'm surprised I was able to mention any of it to Miley. He really violated me and went way too far, I don't even know if I can work up the words to Oliver. Laying there thinking about it, I decided, "We really need to talk about something," I gulped sitting up and turning the TV off.
"About what," he wondered sitting up with me while keeping his arm around me.
"Something, happened, this afternoon, something that, is really hard for me to talk about, I mean I told Miley, but at that moment I needed someone to know, a-and you're my boyfriend so I think that you deserve to know and-," before I could finish he cut me off by putting a finger to my lips.
"Calm down Lilly, just tell me," he calmly said removing his finger from my lips.
"I-it's about Josh," I frowned looking down at his hand squeezing the blanket at the sound of Josh's name.
"Yeah, and," he mumbled trying to smile at me so he could comfort me into going on with what I was saying.
"I-I g-guess you c-could say, h-he 'violated' me," I stuttered still looking down at the bed trying to avoid eye contact with him at the moment.
"What do you mean by, he 'violated' you," he asked with apparent anger in his voice.
"H-he wrapped his a-arms around my w-waist, c-called me b-baby, and if I hadn't of gotten out of there in time, I th-think, he would have tried to k-kiss me," I gulped trying not to vomit right then and there.
"So, you did get out of there, you didn't go along with it," he asked now looking me in the eyes.
"What, no, no, no, no way in hell would I stick around for that jerk or go along with something that disgusting," I shivered making him grow a smirk on his face. "Oliver, I would never ever cheat on you, I mean while he was doing all of that, the only thing that I could think of was you and, how can anyone cheat on the person they love with all of their heart," I looked him in the eyes being totally, and completely honest with him. "Having someone else's arms around me just felt so wrong, you're the only guy that I want to wrap their arms around me and whisper softly into my ear, and call be baby with your Smokin' Oken tone," I giggled making him crack a full on smile. "It's like I said, I love you Oliver Oken, with all of my heart."
Instead of responding to me with words, the arm that was wrapped around my waist pulled me close so that we were only a few inches apart. Then instead of kissing me like I thought he would have, he leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Baby, you are the most amazing, beautiful, and sexiest girl that I have ever met," he whispered sending a huge jolt down my spine as a giggle let out. "I love you too Lillian Truscott, with all of my heart," he smiled using my full first name.
After he pulled away from my ear we sat there staring at each other for a couple of minutes. That was until he made the first move and began kissing the bottom of my neck trailing kisses from my neckline until he reached my lips. I then got into his lap and began kissing him harder and with more passion with my hands entangled in his gorgeous, soft brown hair. Apparently he was really enjoying this, because he let out a soft moan and wrapped his arms around the bottom of my legs to pull me closer putting a small smile on my face while still kissing him. Then he took over and pulled me down onto the bed with me below him as he once again began trailing kisses down my neck allowing me to let out a soft moan also. This was most definitely the farthest that we have ever gone in our makeout sessions. But I think that he was definitely willing to take it farther, because he began taking his jacket off and then his shirt throwing both of them onto the floor, leaving only his black wife beater. Once he was done ripping of his shirt he moved his hand up and down my waist and then ready to take my shirt off, but that was when I stopped him. But not without letting another moan escape my lips as I pushed him softly back a little to stop our kissing.
"W-what's wrong," he panted completely out of breath.
"I-I just don't think that we should go that far," I whispered getting out from under him and standing on the floor.
"But, I thought, you know since we do really love each other, that we would take that next step in our relationship," he sighed running a hand through his hair before flipping it, yeah, not really helping the fact that I was trying not to have sex with him at the moment.
"I know, and we do it's just that," I sighed looking down at him with my arms crossed. "Not in my parent's house," I mumbled under my breath causing him to get a confused look on his face.
"Wait, that's the reason," he laughed.
"Yes, shutup, quit laughing at me," I whined stomping my foot like a little kid.
With a smile still on his face he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him while he was still on the bed, "Chill Lilly, I understand, but it's really hard to understand when your really turning me on with that pissed off, sexy look," he groaned kissing my arm.
"Well, it's hard for me too since you won't leave your hair alone, and it is really, really sexy too," I bit my lip while he still trailed kisses on my arm making my knees go weak. "But, I don't want our first time to be, in my parents' house, with them right down the hall, that's just weird," I sighed sitting next to him on the bed, hoping he would stop kissing me, but instead he started kissing my shoulder. "You know, you're really not helping the cause," I moaned once his lips started to kiss my neck.
"Ugh, sorry, I'll stop," he stopped kissing my neck as I looked down still thinking that he was disappointed with the fact that I didn't want to do that right now. He apparently noticed this, because he put his hand under my chin and turned my head so that I was looking right at him, "Quit acting so down, I understand that you don't want to do that right now, I love you and I respect your wishes, and I promise that I would never guilt you into something like that, your too important in my life," he stroked my cheek.
"Thank you Oliver, I just, want our first time to be real special, and this would have been special if we weren't in my parents house with them right down the hall," I repeated what I said earlier.
"Trust me our first time will most definitely be special, I promise you," he smiled ear-to-ear making a smile come across my face too. "Now, uh, it's time for bed, its like," he stopped for a second to look back at my alarm clock, "One o' clock," he grimaced.
"Wow, hopefully we can both still get up around six thirty," I sighed laying back down with Oliver still sitting on the edge of the bed.
"What, no, Lilly, you don't have to get up when I do, I'll just wait to see you at school," he replied standing up and walking to the other side of the bed.
"Um, excuse me, don't tell me what I can and cannot do, I'm getting up and telling my boyfriend goodbye, like a proper girlfriend would, even if it is at six thirty in the morning," I said as he gotten under the covers next to me.
"Alright, fine, sorry, now go to sleep," he chuckled wrapping his arm around my waist, my back was to him, and pulling me closer. "Night Lilly-pop, I love you," he whispered softly into my ear once again sending a jolt throughout my body.
"Night Ollie-pop, I love you too," I grinned entangling our hands together before falling off to sleep.
