"Thank you so much Oliver, I love it!" I whispered throwing my arms around his neck. I guess I surprised him; we both stumbled backward into my dresser. And you can guess how loud that noise was. Then I heard a door open and loud footsteps coming towards my door. I grabbed Oliver by the shirt collar and shoved him into my closet. I leaped towards my bed just as the door opened. It was Jackson.
"Miles? Was that you?" He asked sleepily
"Whys your window open?" He accused
"I opened it" I spat and Oliver sneezed.
"What was that?" Jackson said walking to my closet.
"It was the wind" I said quickly as I flung my self on my bed. I let out a small cry.
"Miles I'm sorry that dad was so harsh on you and Oliver." He said looking sympathetic
"You weren't there for the half of it!" I said letting out some fake tears
"Ugh yeah I was, I was in the car." He said. I must have been so upset I miss looked who else was in the car.
"Listen, I know you have a lot of feelings right now, I was seventeen once two, but I agree with dad, I don't want you seeing him." He said sitting down on my bed
"Who are you to tell me who I can and can't see?" I said fuming
"Well, when I see the kid again, I swear I'm gonna make sure he CANT see you!" he said sternly
"And what's that supposed to mean!" I accused
"He tried to hump my little sister!" He said stomping his foot.
"Get out!" I said pulling him towards the door.
"Fine but remember what I told you." he warned slumping back to his room. I waited to hear his door close before I let Oliver out.
"Did you have to sneeze?" I whispered punching his arm.
"Sorry, it was dusty!" he whispered pushing me
"Well you should probably go too!" I whispered
"But not after I get my goodnight kiss"
"Fine but then please go!" I whispered as he pulled me close. I felt his arms wrap around me as he kiss me.
I spent the next day at Lilly's house, she happened to have the flu. I didn't care much, I wanted to tell her much of an ass my dad is and how I want to kill my brother. I went home a little earlier, Lilly decided to puke all over the floor. I sat in my room for the wrest of the day and through Sunday. I was starting to have Oliver withdrawals. Can you forget how to kiss? I think I did. I just sat on my bed making pucker faces in a mirror. I want to keep my lips in tip top shape. It wasn't doing it. So I decided to practice on my hand. Yeah my hand was all slobbery. I gave up my attempts and went back to puckering. The next morning I was excited to see Oliver again. I me him out side school and we walked to our lockers. He leaned down and gave me a small kiss as we intertwined our fingers. But what I didn't see was Jackson. He pulled Oliver and just punched him. I looked and saw Jackson's bloody knuckles and Oliver's bloody nose. I didn't know what to do, so I slammed Jackson's head into the nearest locker.
"What the fuck Miley!" Jackson yelled as he raised his hand
"Don't touch her!" Oliver yelled punching him back.
"I told you not to touch her!" Jackson yelled grabbing Oliver by the neck.
"Let him go" I screamed pounding on Jackson. Everything went by so fast. That is until lunch. I didn't know whether to throw up or faint. I guess I caught what ever Lilly had. I felt my lunch creep up my throat. I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom. I felt my hair being gently pulled back as I heaved in to the bowl. I finished, I flushed, and I turned to see Oliver wetting a paper towel for me.
"Ugh you are aware that this is the girl's room..." I said wiping my mouth
"Well yeah…" He stammered
"I saw you run and I heard you so I thought I would see if you were ok!" He finished turning a deep scarlet
"Thanks Oliver" I said as he wrapped his arms around me. I felt a little woozy.
"Are you alright? You're really hot" He said sounding scared.
"I ugh… I don't know" I said weakly as my head spun and my knees buckled.
"Whoa! Miles!" I heard Oliver yelling. He didn't let go of me. I couldn't stand any longer. He got another paper towel as he sat on the floor next to me. I felt the cool water on my forehead. I guess we were in the bathroom for a long time. He brought me juice as I puked like there was no tomorrow.
"Come on ill take you home" Oliver said as he steadied me on my feet.
"I can carry you if you want" Oliver laughed
"No I'm fine" I said feeling like I might puke again. We pulled into my drive way right behind Jackson's car.
"I'm gonna go get your dad" Oliver said
"Wow you're so brave" I said taking a sip of my juice. I watched the yelling and pointing until my dad finally go the message. My dad ran out to the car yelling my name.
"Dad its not a big deal…" I said
"Oliver said you fainted!" He said helping me out of the car
"It's just the flu!" I said
"Come on" My dad urged as I stood up
"Don't be so damn dramatic" I said hobbling to the door
"Ill make you soup or something" My dad said helping me to the couch and shoving a thermometer down my throat.
"No wonder you fainted! 102! We can bring your fever down and ill take you to the doctor" My dad fussed
"Yes Oliver can stay for a while" He finished. Oliver sat next to me and put his arm around me. He kissed my forehead and that's when I noticed it.
"My Locket! It's gone!" I yelled
Note: yeah i moved it along a bit... soap opera style lol thought you might appreciate a damsel in distress!
