Dear Diary,
I was under the impression that best friends were supposed to look out for you. Or do what's best for you. I think Miley's best friend function is broken or something.
I've spent the past week moping in my room. I've listened to sad music, kept my room dark and cold, and didn't get out of bed. That changed this morning when Miley came barging into my room, changed my music to Hannah Montana, and opened my blinds. She turned to face me, her hands on her hips.
"OK that's it. I've let you grieve this week, but enough is enough! Kevin is a boy and boys are stupid. Do not let him affect you this much. You're young, you're hot, and you should be having fun! That is why I've set you up on a blind date."
Secret pop star say what? Before I could protest, she started talking again.
"His name is Colin Taylor. He's the friend of a friend of Jackson's girlfriend's cousin."
Oh my… I think my brain just exploded. I tried to stop her.
"Miley, I don't want to do this. I just want to mourn in peace. Please leave me alone." I rolled over and hid under the covers. It was silent for a few minutes and I thought Miley left before the bed sank slightly and I realized she sat down. When she spoke again, I was surprised to hear it come out as a whisper, her voice soft and broken.
"Lilly, you're my best friend. I hate seeing you like this. It' just that… you deserve so much better than Kevin. I probably don't tell you this enough but you are amazing. Don't ever let a boy make you think different. I just want you to be happy. And I feel guilty because it's my fault you're Lola. When I saw Kevin's face after I told the truth, I realized that he… doesn't deserve you. You're a skateboarder, you're girly, you're tough, strong, loud, loyal, and one of the greatest friends anyone can have. Jesus Lilly, you sparkle. People stop and look at you when you walk or skate by. People notice you and they like you. You can make friends with anyone. You just have this… shine around you. And it kills me that you can't see that. You deserve everything. You deserve to sparkle again. Don't let some guy like Kevin Jonas take away your self-respect, your dignity, your ability to enjoy life."
Wow. Talk about emotional. I looked at Miley with tears in my eyes. She was crying too. I pulled her into a hug and we just sat there for a long time. Finally I pulled back and wiped my eyes.
"OK, I'll go. What time is he picking me up? And what should I wear?"
Miley jumped up and clapped her hands, "Great! Well. He said he was going to pick you up at 6 and you should probably wear something girly but not too girly. I don't think he's taking you anywhere fancy but you should still look nice. And what will we do with your hair? Some up some down? This is perfect! I know you're going to have a great time! Eepp!"
I smiled and listened to her ramble. This is the Miley I know. I decided to let her have her fun and let her take over.
6 hours later I was on the couch at Miley's house, waiting for this Colin character. I was wearing a black flowy skirt that went right above my knee and a green tank top. I had on green Converse and my hair was straight and pulled back from my face. I had on some makeup but not a lot. To sum it up, I looked hot. And for the first time in a week, I felt good. Miley sat next to me and I think she was more excited than I was. The doorbell rang and Miley jumped up and pulled me up with her.
"OK it's time. I have a really good feeling about this. Remember to have fun! Go on! Open the door!!"
I laughed slightly at her excitement and went to the door. I opened it and in walked an extremely hot guy. He had shaggy brown hair, green eyes, and was slightly tan. He flashed me the most amazing smile and stuck out his hand. He shook mine while saying, "Lilly, right? I'm Colin. It's really nice to meet you. So I made reservations at this Italian restaurant down the street. Are you ready to go?"
I got myself ready to embarrass myself and was totally shocked when I heard a voice.
"That sounds great. Who told you I love Italian? Well we better get going. See ya Miley."
The voice was confident and calm. Then I realized it was ME! I managed to speak normally. It was a miracle. In fact, the entire night was a miracle. We drove to the restaurant and managed to talk about basically anything and everything. The conversation carried throughout dinner. Colin was smart, witty, funny, and a great conversationalist. The night flew by and I can honestly say it was the best date of my life. The next thing I knew, we were standing on Miley's porch saying goodnight. He took my hands and leaned in close to my face. He started to whisper.
"Lilly, I had a great time tonight. You are amazing. You're funny, smart, and really cute. And I think I'm going to kiss you."
He leaned in and gave me a short, sweet kiss. He pulled back and smiled at me. He took a step back and spoke normally.
"Well. I'll call you later. I really want to see you again." He walked away and left me standing alone.
"See you later," I whispered. I pretty much floated into the Stewart's living room. Miley and Nick were sitting on the couch, watching a movie. When Miley saw me, she jumped up and paused the movie. She ran to me and grabbed me.
"Well?! What happened?"
I sighed and walked to the couch.
"Miles, it was perfect. Colin was a total gentleman. We talked the entire time. I paid attention to everything he said. I didn't cry or freak out. It was totally normal. It was the best date I've ever been on."
And with that, I burst into tears. I saw Miley and Nick give each other an alarmed look and sat down on either side of me. Nick gently put his arm around me and Miley rubbed my knee. She hesitated a little and then began to speak.
"Lilly, normally people enjoy dates like that. What's wrong?"
I looked at her through my tears and took a breath.
"He isn't Kevin. I was able to follow the conversation because he didn't distract me with his good looks. I didn't ramble because he didn't make me nervous. I didn't spaz in front of him because I didn't really like him."
Miley gave me a sympathetic look and squeezed my knee.
"Oh Lilly…"
I cut her off in a shaky whisper.
"You told me I deserve everything. Well, Kevin is my everything."
Miley shot a look at Nick. She spoke a little coldly.
"I hope your brother is happy."
Nick pulled me into him and began to speak earnestly.
"He's not happy Lilly. He's pretty miserable. All he does is mope around and write sad songs. He's lost without you Lilly. But he's having a hard time admitting he was wrong. He's an idiot."
I laughed slightly and stood up.
"Well I agree with you there Nick. Miley, I'm just going to go to bed. G'night Nick." Before I went up the stairs, I turned around. Miley and Nick were whispering. And I got scared. Because Miley was up to something. She had her scheming face on.
And I've been friends with Miley long enough to know that if she has her scheming face on, it means trouble for me.
Oh boy.
Lilly
