Chapter Seven: Back Where We Belong

"I can't believe he stood you up!" Lilly explained to Miley, who trying her best not to cry.

She already did it twice, and she was certain she didn't want to do it for a third time in a row.

"Lilly." Oliver said, his voice stern.

"What? It was just like you said: Chad's a player, and he stood Miley up for another girl." Lilly stated.

"Not the time, Lilly." Oliver said again.

Lilly looked at Miley, and she could tell what Oliver ment.

"Oh. Sorry, Miley." she replied.

Miley sniffled, and grabbed a tissue that was infront of her, and blew her nose, making Lilly and Oliver look at her.

Miley looked at Oliver, and asked him, "Aren't you going to tell me, 'I told you so?'"

Oliver smiled as he looked at her.

"And why would I do that? You didn't deserve to be stood up, Miles. Noone does." Oliver told her, which made her smile.

"Yeah, and I bet Oliver has been rejected before, haven't you, Oliver?" Lilly asked, as Oliver blushed.

"Yeah...of course I have." Oliver replied, while Miley giggled.

"And, when Oliver gets rejected, he knows there are other fish in the sea, isn't that right, Oliver?" Lilly asked, which made Oliver's blush go deeper than it already was.

"Yep...right." Oliver stated.

"So, what your saying is, I should be like Oliver?" Miley asked, her voice still rasp from crying so much.

LIlly nodded.

"Yep!"

Miley looked down at the ground, and Oliver explained, "And, you will have to face Chad sooner or later, Miley. You can't keep on avoiding him for the rest of your life. It'd be nice if you can."

"I know, it's just that..."

"He'll make it seem that everything was cool? Yeah, we've seen it before." Lilly responded.

Miley finally smiled, and Oliver got up from his spot between the two girls, and annouced, "Who wants hot chocolate?"

Both girls raised their hands, and they looked at eachother, making Oliver crack up.

As Oliver went to go make the drink, Miley realized something that she hadn't thought of just now:

Oliver and her were fighting, yet, Oliver didn't rub it in her face that Chad had stood her up, and she found it weird.

But, she knew Oliver could be the sweetest guy on the planet, and maybe that's what Lilly ment by "other" fish in the sea.

She ment Oliver, of all people.

"What are you thinking about?" Lilly asked, whispering.

Miley looked up to see Oliver still in the kitchen, brewing up the hot chocolate.

She then turned her attention towards Lilly.

"Remember the pep talk you gave me not so long ago?"

"Uh, yeah, why?" Lilly asked.

"Because you want me to get together with Oliver, isn't it? Other fish in the sea?" Miley asked.

Lilly grinned.

"Hey, didn't I tell you that you and Oliver would make a cute couple?" she whispered.

"Yeah, but--"

"Here we go!" Oliver annouced again, placing the tray of steaming chocolate in front of Lilly and Miley.

"One for you," he said, handing one to Lilly.

"One for you," he explained to Miley, handing one to her.

"And one for me." he stated, sitting down in his spot again.

"Thanks, Oliver." Miley replied, taking a drink from hers.

The warm java was heaven to her throat, and she smiled even bigger as she took another drink.

"See, that was what you needed. A hug, two friends, and a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Who could agrue with that?" Oliver asked, as Lilly and Miley both laughed.

As Miley and Lilly waited for Robby-Ray, Miley found out what she need most:

Oliver.
