Chapter 7

For the last week Miley spent all of her spare time with Taylor. Weather it was because Lilly was back and she wanted to forget about her or because she actually liked Taylor Miley wasn't sure, she hadn't really thought about it. She was having fun and was happy. She hadn't seen much of Lilly which she took as a blessing. She didn't know what her feelings at this stage were so she thought it would just be best if she didn't see Lilly

"What are you thinking about?" Taylor asked Miley as they lay next to each other on Miley's bed, hands intertwined

"Not much. What are you thinking about?" Miley replied

"I know we aren't officially together but I was just thinking that I love spending time with you and we have practically spent the last two weeks together so maybe we could make this thing official?"

Miley didn't know what to say. "Look Miley you don't have to give me an answer just know that this is want I want, but I'm fine just hanging out with you"

With that said Taylor placed a soft kiss on Miley's lips "Cya later Miles" and left. Miley watched Taylor leave then she got up and started pacing around her room. Shit Miley thought, she needed to talk to someone so she picked up her cell and dialed Oliver's cell.

"Oken"

"Oliver wanna come over?" Miley asked

"Sure thing. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah I just need to talk to you"

"Good cause I need to talk to you as well"

"Alright well see you in a little while?"

"Yup see you soon Miley"

Oliver headed over to Miley's and was there in 10mins. He had decided to tell Miley again that Lilly wasn't over her and he was then somehow going to get Miley to pick between Lilly and Taylor but for his plan to work he needed Lilly to admit to herself that she wanted Miley back.

Oliver got to Miley's and was greeted by her dad who pointed up the stairs to indicate that Miley was up there. He went upstairs opened the door and saw Miley still frantically pacing her bedroom.

"Wow Miles what's with the pacing?"

"Taylor wants to be my girlfriend" she said still pacing and in a panicked voice

"Ok then. Do you want to be her girlfriend?" Oliver asked hoping the answer would be no. It wasn't that he didn't like Taylor it was just that he wanted his two best friends together again.

"Well that's the problem isn't it" she replied

"What you don't want to be with her?"

"No"

"Then you do?" Oliver asked confused

"No! I don't know Ollie!" she said as she dramatically flopped onto her bed cover her face with her pillows

"Why don't you know?" Oliver asked finally getting at what Miley was saying

"Cause of Lilly. I know she doesn't want me anymore and that's fine but it doesn't change the feelings I still have for her"

"Yeah about that Miley"

"What is it?"

"Well…..umm"

"Spit it out Oken"

Oliver distracted himself by turning on the radio. Metro Stations song Kelsey was playing.

"I love this song!" he said

"Oliver so do I but don't try to distract me. What were you going to say?"

"Ok. I know I already told you this but Lilly wants you back Miley."

"Not this again Oliver"

"Miley she wants you back. So now it's up to you to decided between her and Taylor"

Miley sat up on her bed and looked at Oliver

"If you wanna be with Taylor then fine but if you wanna be with Lilly again you need to go around to her house and talk to her."

"Oliver I can't keep doing this. I can't keep asking her to come back to me if she doesn't want to come back to me"

"Just talk to her for me. Please? Before you make any decisions"

"Ok I'll talk to her"

All of a sudden the song it's been a while by stainedcame on the radio. Miley jumped up ran to the radio, tripping over things in her rush to turn the song off.

"What was that all about?" Oliver asked

"When she first left me, that week that I thought she had died, I listened to this song all day everyday because I thought it fitted my situation so well so now when I hear it all I think about is a dead Lilly and that isn't something I wanna think about, ever again"

"Fair enough. I'll see you later Miles. Go talk to her!"

"Bye Oliver"

Miley started paced franticly around her house, something which she did often these days.

"You ok bud?" her dad asked through a mouthful of a chicken sandwich

"Yeah dad fine"

"Well stop pacing your making me nervous"

"Sorry Daddy I've just got a lot on my mind at the moment"

"Mmmm I understand it's got to be hard."

"What do you mean?" she asked

"Well on one hand you have Taylor who likes you but then on the other hand you have Lilly who's just back from New York and you just don't know what to do"

"I wish you weren't so good at reading my……wait New York? Lilly was in New York?"

"Ahhhhh"

"You knew where she was and you didn't tell me!" Miley said raising her voice

"Now Miley just let me explain"

"Let you explain?" she interrupted "I was beside myself after she left; I couldn't and didn't want to do anything. All I wanted to do was speak to her and find out where she was and you knew the whole time and didn't tell me. I thought she was dead!"

"Miley listen I only didn't tell you because I was worried about what you would do or how you would feel. She left you Miley, she went to the other side of the damn country to get away from you and I didn't wanna be the one to tell you that bud. I'm sorry"

Miley just stood in the kitchen absorbing all the information she just heard. "You're right daddy but I could have spoken to her sooner if I had known where she was and I wouldn't be stuck in this dilemma"

"What dilemma bud?"

"Like you said I've got Taylor on one hand who likes me and I like her and she wants to be with me but then on the other hand there's Lilly, my Lilly, the love of my life Lilly who, I just found out, maybe isn't over me, despite what she says"

"Wow bud I'm glad im not in your shoes" he said with a smirk

"What? No fatherly advice? You ain't gonna tell what to do?

"Not this time Miles, you're on your own. I can tell you to follow your heart and be with the one you love but in this case following your head may be a better option if its opinion is different to your hearts"

The next day Miley stood outside Lilly's house. She had been standing at the front door for the last half an hour unsure of whether or not she should knock. Unknown to her Lilly had been watching her from her front gate for the last 20mins.

"No one will answer if you don't knock" Lilly said walking up to Miley and her front door

"I…ahh…I was gonna but"

"You wanna come in?" Lilly asked

"Sure"

Lilly opened the front door and Miley followed her in.

"Wow it looks exactly the same as before" Miley observed

"Yeah we were lucky that it hadn't sold yet. I couldn't imagine not living here"

Silence then entered the room. It was awkward. Both girls not knowing what to do.

"Lil I wanna ask you something."

"Go for it"

"Well I was talking to Oliver yesterday and he said that you said something to him and I just want to know it its true"

"What did he say?" Lilly asked getting a bit nervous

"That maybe you weren't over me" Miley said rather quietly with her head down.

Lilly didn't answer. Miley looked up at her and saw that tears were starting to form in her eyes.

"Miley I'm sorry but that's not true"

"Ohhh." Miley said quietly "That's fine because I already knew it so I just wanted to double check before….well incase, you know there was someone else"

"There's someone else?" Lilly asked

"No, but just incase there might be, someday. Well I'll see you later Lilly" Miley said as she practically sprinted out of the house, her two left feet tripping over boxes.

"Yeah bye Miley" Lilly said as she watched Miley run out of her house

"Someone else?" Lilly said out loud to herself.

Later that day Lilly was lying on her bed with her Ipod in which was turned up way to loud. She didn't hear Oliver walk in so when she opened her eyes and saw him standing there she got such a fright that she jumped and fell off the bed.

"Shit Oken what are you trying to do to me?"

"Hahahahaha Lilly that was hilarious!"

"Yeah laugh it up why don't you"

"I'm sorry but that was the funniest thing I've seen all day"

Lilly walked up to him and punched him in the arm.

"Ahh shit what was that for Lils?"

"One, for telling Miley my cell phone number, two…" she punched him again " for telling Miley I'm not over her, and three…" she punched him a third time " for causing her more heartache than she needed"

Oliver held his arm with his other hand. "Lilly I'm sorry. I truly thought you weren't over her"

"Yeah well I am Oliver"

"She came and spoke to you?"

"Yeah earlier today."

"Is everything ok between you two?

"I hope so. Anyway can we just go hang out at the mall or something I'm bored"

"Yeah ok. Sorry again Lilly" Oliver said sincerely

"It's fine Ollie. Just don't do it again"

As they left for the mall, down at the beach Miley was sitting in the sand waiting for Taylor. Her talk with Lilly made her realize that she could commit to Taylor because there was no way Lilly was going to come back to her and it was definitely time to move on. Taylor walked up and sat down in the sand next to Miley.

"Hey you" Taylor greeted

"Hey" Miley said as she leaned in and gave Taylor a peck on her lips

"What's up?"

"I'm sorry about this morning Taylor. For not giving you an answer"

"Miley really it's fine"

"No it's not Taylor. I'm really sorry"

"This is the part where you tell me you don't wanna be with me right?"

"No this is the part where I tell you I do want to be with you, I just want to take things slow"

After hearing this Taylor had the biggest smile on her face. "I'm fine with that Miley" she placed her arm around Miley's waist and Miley lent in and rested her head on Taylors shoulder. After about 10mins of relaxing at the beach Taylor asked Miley "I've got to go get something from the mall before the shops close wanna come with?"

"Yeah sure" Miley replied

They got up and went to Taylor's car and drove to the mall. They parked in the car park and headed into the mall.

"Hey that's Ollie's truck" Miley noticed as they walked through the car park

"Cool maybe we will see him" Taylor replied as she took hold of Miley's hand. They headed towards the skate shop. Miley waited outside as Taylor went in to pick up new wheels for her skateboard. While Miley was waiting outside she saw Oliver and Lilly walk by.

"Hey guys" she greeted them nervously

"Hey Miles" Oliver said

"Hi Miley" Lilly said quietly. Both girls were avoiding eye contact with each other.

"So Miley what are you doing here?" Oliver asked try to make conversation

"I'm ah just waiting for a friend"

Oliver clicked and realized she was waiting for Taylor.

"Ok well Lilly and I were just heading home so…." Before he could finish Taylor came out of the shop and walked up to Miley.

"Hey babe you ready to go?" She asked Miley

Lilly's eyes shot up at the word babe and she stared at Taylor, sizing her up.

"Ahh Taylor this is Lilly" Miley introduced "Lilly this is Taylor"

"Nice to meet you Lilly"

"Likewise" Lilly replied

An awkward silence followed. Lilly kept staring at Taylor then at Miley who was still avoiding her. The silence was broken by Oliver. "We were just heading off so see you guys later"

"Yeah ok Ollie see you later" Miley replied as Oliver and Lilly started walking off but not before Lilly saw Taylor lace her fingers with Miley's and walk off with her. All of a sudden Lilly got a fiery feeling in the pit of her stomach one that she recognized as jealousy.

When she got home the feeling still hadn't left, she started pacing her room and talking to herself

"I'm not jealous, I can't be I've moved on. I can't be jealous I told her I didn't want to be with her, that I was over her. I'm not jealous, I'm not, I just can't be! I told her I was over her. Oh my god I told her I was over her? What was I thinking? Oh shit I'm so not over her"
