Lilly ran to the beach in the ocean with the water coming to her knees. She stopped and pushed her hair out of her face as tears rolled down her eyes.
This is too hard, I-I can't decide now. I never meant for this, I did not want this. Why can't I have both? Oh yeah they will kill each other. Ugh, what do I do? Miley is she is so caring and her skin is so soft and she is a good listener, then Oliver he is so worried and wants me safe, protected, and happy. Well they both want me happy I just…
Lilly could no longer take her confused mind and feelings and exploded. She screamed at the top of her lungs out into the ocean and fell on her knees, the oceans gentle waves coming up and hitting her stomach and chest. Tears came faster. "I can't take this anymore, sure I don't want to hurt them but they are hurting me."
--x--
Miley and Oliver saw Lilly leave but neither of them moved a centimeter to go after her. They were having a staring contest, a contest that would determine who could pass the most poison and fire in their glare.
"See what you did!" The two yelled at each other and took a step closer to each other. "Me! It was all you!" The two approached each other until their faces were inches apart. The hate that was boiling in one was reflected by the other.
"This is not my fault." Oliver stood an inch taller than Miley and used that to his advantage to try and tower above her.
"In away it is, she left you and you could not just leave her happy." Miley gritted her teeth and he may have been slightly taller then her but she would sure fight for Lilly.
"Me! You are the one who ruined my wedding, engagement, relationship, and friendship." Oliver spat the words in Miley's face and refused to move. Oliver took a step back as tears welled up in his eyes. "Me and Lilly were best friends in preschool and middle school, then you came along." Oliver turned his back to Miley as he let a few tears fall. "Sure I was happy for her to finally find a girl that was a friend but I did not think that she would just dump me."
Miley looked at a broken Oliver and her hate grew to concern and compassion. "Oliver," Miley lowered the volume in her voice and took out the hatred. "Oliver I am so sorry," She walked over to Oliver and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I know me just coming in between you two must have been hard and hurt. I didn't mean to I just-I don't know, I guess I can do nothing but apologize for separating your friendship. I'm sorry, but y-you never said anything."
Oliver stiffened but relaxed as he let out a sigh. "I wanted her to be a happy, have fun, I could never do all the girl things that she wanted," Oliver turned to face her and was not ashamed that he was crying right in front of her. "I'm sorry I was jealous, or maybe envious. Miley our friendship, you, Lilly, and I, mean so much to me. And look at us fighting over Lilly. I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I screwed up so bad. But I don't want to fight you Miles, you are my best friend, you were there for me and I was there for you. Can we get back to that, can you forgive me?"
Oliver looked at Miley desperately with his red eyes and Miley let a small smile appear. "Oliver our friendship was very important to me too. We had a lot of adventures and a lot of laughs, I would like to get back that, I missed you Oliver, but I don't know if I could totally forgive you, and you should not totally forgive me. I did steal Lilly way from you, in three ways, and I'm sorry. Lets rebuild our friendship and maybe start new."
Oliver smiled. "Okay, I guess in a way we were both crazy and dumb huh?" Miley nodded and Oliver laughed lightly. "I'm sorry Miley, friends, best friends to the end right?"
"Right…spit shake." Miley smile grew and Oliver laughed again they both spit into their hands and shook them. "Hope you know how to make chicken soup." The old friends smiled at each other and embraced in a hug. "I'm sorry and I know those two words would never be enough."
"Ditto, but hey at least now we are even." The two stayed in each other arms until a thought or someone popped into their minds.
"Lilly!" They both sprang apart and looked in each others eyes with worry, and in an instant they were both out the door.
--x--
"Lilly!" Miley and Oliver searched her back yard and got no response. "Oliver were could she have gone?"
"I don't know, lets check the beach." Miley nodded her head and jumped off her porch to run out to the beach. "Lilly!"
"Lilly!" Miley looked all around the best her eyes could into the night. When loosing hope she scanned out into the ocean and noticed a figure in the water. "Lilly! Oliver!" Miley ran towards Lilly with Oliver hot on her heels. "Lilly!"
Miley and Oliver splashed into the water and stopped when they came up to a crying Lilly. They both kneeled down beside their blonde friend and hugged her. Lilly dove into their arms and cried harder. Miley and Oliver held on tight to Lilly's cold body and lightly brushed her hair and rubbed her back to calm her. "We are so sorry Lilly, come on lets get back to Miley's you are freezing."
Lilly did not respond. Oliver picked her up and held her as Miley put a sweater on top of Lilly to keep her warm. "I'm so sorry Lils." Lilly shook in Oliver's arm and still did not speak. She clutched on to Oliver and Miley walked right beside her holding her free hand.
Tears still came through Lilly's closed eyes and Miley and Oliver could not tell if she was asleep or not but once inside Miley's house Oliver laid Lilly on the couch and put a blanket on top of her.
Miley went and turned on a pot of water for Lilly to have some tea when she would wake up to help warm her up. While Lilly slept Miley and Oliver just waited, silently watching her.
--x--
About an hour later Lilly started to stir. "Hey Miles I think she is waking up, go turn on her water for tea." Miley went and did as she was told as Oliver knelt down beside Lilly. "Lilly, Lilly please wake up."
Lilly's eyes were slowly opening, she blinked a couple times to get rid of the sleep and the lighting and looked around at her surroundings. "Oliver?"
"Shh Lilly its okay relax, umm you still cold?" Lilly nodded and Oliver got up and went to get more blankets.
"Here you go Lils drink this it would warm you up." Miley came over to Lilly with her hot tea and Lilly gently sat up as Oliver wrapped another blanket around Lilly.
Miley and Oliver sat on top of the coffee table and watched Lilly take a sip of tea. They both stared at her and she stared back. "What you two not fighting anymore?"
Both Miley and Oliver looked down to the floor at Lilly's comment and both felt the sting in her voice.
"Lilly," Oliver went to grab one of Lilly's hands, but was rejected and continued with his story. "Lilly I was stupid, a jerk, and jealous, I'm sorry. When you love someone you should want them to be happy, and accept that you are not the one that makes them happy. Lilly I'm sorry and no matter how many times I say it I know you will not forgive me. I just I do love you Lils, I just didn't want to loose you. I was always afraid of loosing you and you actually leaving scared me. I don't want to be alone, but I can't force you to stay."
"Oh like how you forced to me to choose." Lilly wrapped her hands around the tea cup to keep her fingers warm and took another sip.
"Yeah that was wrong, I should not have put so much pressure on you or tried to trick you in anyway."
"Me too," All eyes turned to Miley as it was her turn to explain. "In the beginning Lil, I did whatever I could to make you fall in love with me, hangout with me, and ditch Oliver. I should have never done that. Thing is I love you to and probably should not have forced you to go out with me; we could have avoided all of this, so it really is my entire fault. I am so sorry, to both of you. I split up a friendship, relationship, and engagement slash wedding. I am so sorry," Miley fiddled with her hands while she looked at them and refuse to look at her friends. "Listen why don't you two stay here for the night and…stay together," Lilly and Oliver both looked at Miley with shock.
"Miley-"
"No, Lilly I have done enough damage to you two I don't want to keep doing that."
"Miley-"
"Oliver please you loved her and love her, I'm sorry I know you and I are friends now and I am hoping we could all be friends again. Please you don't have to forgive me just accept my apology and go and be happy together go have a wedding, kids, and grow old together."
Tears pricked Miley's eyes and she stood up from the coffee table and brushed pass Oliver and Lilly. Lilly went to go reach out after her but Oliver stopped her. "Give her time Lil." Lilly looked at Oliver and into his eyes. Was he serious? "We will check on her in a few."
--x--
Miley ran into her room and landed on her bed, took her pillow, and shoved it into her face filling it with tears.
I guess everyone can't be happy, but I should be happy for them. They have been together for years. I will always love Lilly, but it's just not meant to be. But my love for her will never burn out. I will still be there to protector and support her. Oliver is right you have to let the ones you love go and you should want them happy. Lilly clutched to Oliver after we took her out of the water. They were meant to be.
Miley was pulled from her sobs and thoughts when a knock was at the door. "Miley, can we come in please; Oliver and I need to talk to you." Miley did not answer and only looked at the door to see it open. Lilly came through with a blanket around her and saw Miley's tear stained face. "Oh Miley," Lilly ran to her and pulled her into a hug. "Don't cry."
Oliver closed the door behind him and walked around to Miley's other side hugging her as well. "We don't want you out of our lives Miles."
Miley pulled away from Lilly and Oliver moved back away from Miley and they all sat looking at each other. "But-" Miley was hushed by Lilly's finger on her lips.
"Miley we are friends forever and always that always comes first. You left once I don't want you gone again."
"Exactly Miles," Miley moved her eyes towards Oliver. "We used to be great friends and no matter who we date we should remain friends we can not let relationships destroy us. Hey didn't you two make a promise like that years ago?"
Miley and Lilly looked at each other remembering the memory. "Yeah we did, and I guess I broke that huh Lil?"
"Just a tad." Lilly shrugged her shoulders and smiled at Miley causing the brunette girl to push her gently, getting laughs from everyone.
"So friends are we okay guys?" Miley looked at Oliver and Lilly and they all smiled.
"We will always be okay Miles, and we will always be friends." Oliver went and hugged Miley first and Lilly joined soon after. They all hugged and smiled remembering each moment that they spent together.
"Not to bring up old wounds but, I'm just curious, I don't want to pressure you Lil, but who are you going to choose?" Lilly looked at Miley for a moment and then turned away.
"I don't know, I can't have both of you," Miley and Oliver looked at Lilly anticipating her answer. "I wish I could," snickers both came from Miley and Oliver as they waited. "Okay you know what? I do know who I am going to choose."
Miley and Oliver looked at her then at each other and Oliver remembering what happened last time spoke up. "Are you sure Lil? We don't want to pressure you."
Lilly held up her hand. "Yes, I know the person that I could love and who could love me, the person who will always be there to make me laugh and make me cry, comfort me and hold me, basically make me feel anything with every word, touch, and look. I'm ready to choose. I was not just sleeping for an hour and thinking about nothing y'know."
Miley and Oliver both laughed and Miley leaned in closer waiting for Lilly to answer. "Okay Lils who do you want to make you happy."
Lilly bit her lip and looked from Oliver to Miley knowing she held happiness and sadness in her hands. "Oliver…"
