Chapter 9
What should I say? I didn't want to cheat on Cole, but then again, the reason I said yes was to get Jackson to get jealous…
"Jackson…" I sighed.
I need help here!!!
"I'll have to get back to you on that. I really, really like you… but I feel like I'll be cheating on Cole by being with you. I'll give you a certain answer tomorrow. Okay?" I can't believe I just said that. My mind wanted to say yes, but my mouth didn't want to agree with it.
Jackson closed his eyes and sighed. "Okay, I can deal with that." I felt a little bad for him. I really like him, but I feel like I don't have a choice.
Jackson started walking out of my room, and then I stopped him. I needed to let this out. "Jackson," he turned around to face me, "I… I really, really like you. I might even love you. I'll tell you tomorrow after school what the answer is." I said. He nodded, without expression, and left.
Once he left, I dashed to the phone (A/N: didya notice the awesome word I put in there? DASHED!! LOL). When I picked it up, my mom was talking into it. Darn it, she was on the phone!
I completely forgot where I put my cell phone! Then, I heard a song playing.
'Cause it's you, and me, together. Yeah I'm always… on… your side…
That's where I put it! In the desk of my drawer!
"Yola?" I said.
I heard a laugh. "Hey Lola, its Hannah." Miley snorted.
"Cool. What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing much. Have you seen Jackson?" I could see her smiling through the phone! Trust me, I can tell when she's smiling.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, he's on his way back to his house. Why?"
"Oh, no reason. I heard he was planning on going to someone's house and ask a certain person out… and I was wondering what she said. Do you know what she said?" Yup, she was smiling. Fo Sho!
"Yeah, I know what she said."
"What??"
"She said she'll think about it, and she'll tell him the final answer tomorrow after school." I grinned.
"Okay… I hope it's a yes. Even though it sounds wrong for that person to be dating my brother… I think it'll be fun!" She chuckled.
"Whaaaateverrr." Man, I really need to call Cole…
"So... what are you doin' right now?"
"Well, I was about to call Cole to uh… sort of… um... break up with him so I could be with Jackson…" I bit my lip. I knew she was about to started screaming.
"AHHH!!! Oh em gee Lilly! Congrats! I knew you would say yes to Jackson! I knew it, knew it, knew it!"
I pulled the phone away from my ear so I didn't loose my hearing! She can be loud when she wants to!
"Okay… so… I'm going to call him now… bye." I said.
"BYE!!!!" She screamed.
Click.
Finally! Now to call Cole…
"Hello?" He answered. By the way, I called his cell phone. That would be weird if his mom just got on the phone and needed to call someone else…
"Hey, it's Lilly." I said.
"Oh, Lilly, just the girl I wanted to talk to."
"First… I need to say something really serious."
"Wait, me first." He said.
I sighed. "Fine."
"This maybe hard for you but… I think we need to… break up. Don't take it the wrong way… it's just that, I think we need to see other people. We don't have that much in common, and we're always busy." He said seriously.
I was seriously about to start cracking up!!!
"Oh… really? I feel the same way! Whoo, this was much easier than I thought it would be!"
"Yeah… me too! So, can we still be friends?" He asked.
"Of course! I'll see you later!" I said.
"Yup, bye!"
"Bye!" I smiled, and hung up.
I ran onto my bed, and screamed into the pillow… but it was a happy scream, not a bad one!
"Gosh, I'm so darn tired! …I think I'll go take a walk…" I said. Even though that doesn't make ANY sense what so ever… I want to take a walk. Especially because it's about 7:00 PM, and it's nice to take walks at night. Nice and refreshing.
"MOM???" I called.
"She's not home!" Jordan called from downstairs in the basement. Playing video games again…
"Whatever, I'm going to take a walk, tell her that I'm going out. Okay?" I yelled back.
"Fine." Jordan said.
As I was walking down the street, I heard honking, screeching, and of course, laughing.
Wait… laughing???
I turned the corner and I saw Miley… with a guy…? I couldn't see the guy… but I knew it was a guy.
"Miley?" I got her attention. I guess she was flirting with the guy… because her face was bright red.
"Oh… hey… Lilly…" She had a worried look on her face.
I walked closer, trying to make out who the person was.
I walked closer, and it became so clear to me. Miley liked Cole, and Cole liked Miley. Cole probably asked me out to make Miley jealous. I said yes to Cole to make Jackson jealous. We both used each other and both of our "crushes" like us back! Of course! Why didn't I see that all along?!
"Cole? Miley?" I smiled, "Together?"
Cole had a worried look on his face like I was going to kill him or something…
"Cole, I'm not going to kill you…" I said, and laughed.
"What are you doing here Lilly?" Miley asked.
"What am I doing here? What are you doing here, with him?" I pointed to Cole.
"We're just hanging out…" She said.
"Okay, I was just taking a little walk. No biggie. See you guys later!" I waved, and left.
So Miley is with Cole, and I guess I'm with Jackson? What ever happened to Ben and Oliver? I haven't talked to them in ages!
Wow… now this was magic. All of a sudden, Oliver appeared right in front of me! Well… not suddenly, I was just looking to my right and looking at the houses… I guess he was walking towards me and I didn't notice it.
"Hey Lilly." He said.
"Hey Oliver, what's up?" I asked.
"Nothing much…" I said, and looked down.
"Listen…" he continued, "I was wondering if you're still with Cole… and uh… yeah." He hesitated.
"Nope, we're not together anymore. Why do you ask?" I had a feeling of why he was acting so weird…
"Well… then… I was hoping that maybe… you would want to… I dunno… go out with me?" He was shuffling his feet, like he was nervous.
I sighed. "Oliver, I'm sorry, but I have my eye on someone else… plus… I don't like you more than a friend." I felt really bad about this. Like super, super bad… but hey, that's life, right?
"Oh, okay, I understand." He swallowed hard, "I'll see you later I guess." He walked slowly away, and waited for me to say something, but I didn't.
All I did was watch him walk down the sidewalk, road, whatever, all the way back home.
Never mind that now, I need to get to Miley's house. At first this was just going to be a quick walk, but I guess I wanted to give Jackson my answer ASAP.
A/N: YAY! LOL. I hope you guys liked this chapter! Thank you soooo much for all your reviews! Please keep it up! I'll take any ideas! I just need ideas!!!
