(We all know this story hasn't been updated in a while, but if you read my profile you'll know why. But I like this story, so I'm going to start writing it again. I understand I'll lose some of my original readers, but I'm fine with that. I just want to write it again. But this story started out as an exact story of what I was going through, but no lies, I am still not with the Oliver of this story. So from now on, I'm only keeping a few things like what's really going on in my life. Mostly just little details, I'll probably change most. For a better story quality. Enjoy.)
A year and three months later...
"Kelly broke up with you again?" I looked at Oliver, feeling heartbroken for him.
"Yup. And this time, I think it's going to stay that way."
"What happened exactly?" I sat in the passenger seat of his car.
"She didn't quite tell me."
I could tell he was lying to me. After two and a half years I had this weird way of just being able to tell when the things he said weren't true. I decided I shouldn't bother him about it anymore though. But inside I smiled to myself, wondering if my chance had finally come.
He came to a stop in front of my house.
"Thanks for the ride home from school Oliver. I'll see you tomorrow." I leaned over to him and gave him a hug.
"No problem Lilly." He smiled at me, my heart melted of course.
I began the walk up to my front door as he shouted my name, "Lilly!"
I walked back over to his car window. "Yes?"
"Give Shawn a chance. He likes you a lot, and I know you guys will and can be happy."
I looked at him, not wanting to give Shawn a chance. Sure I had liked him for a while. But Oliver was finally available, and I didn't want to lose any opportunity. But wait... why did he want me to give Shawn a chance if he was single now. "What?" I asked, my eyebrows scrunched together.
"Just give him a chance."
"But... Oliver... what about..." And I couldn't continue, the words stuck in my throat.
"Us?" I nodded. "Right now, Lilly," And he put his hand on top of the one I had leaning on his car door. "I can't even begin to think about being with someone other than Kelly still." My heart sank, looking into the brown eyes of someone who didn't want me, but I wanted more than anyone in the world.
"Oliver?"
"I'm sorry Lilly." My hand slipped off his car, and I could feel myself beginning to cry.
"I'm going inside now. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Lilly?"
"There is going to be a day where you have to explain yourself clearly. And it's not going to be like every other time where you avoid hanging out. It's going to happen. I'm tired of waiting and I'm tired of feeling this way." And with that I left.

I smiled at Shawn as he held my hands in the middle of the school hallway. "Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked me.
My thoughts instantly went to Oliver, but as I looked at Shawn I decided to listen to Oliver's advice. Another smile I had worked on before was now on my face. "Yes. I would love to."
And with that he gave me our second kiss. Yet no butterflies filled my stomach. Which happened with even just the appearance or thought of Oliver. But as I looked at the smile on Shawn's face I couldn't help but smile back. He was adorable, and looked so excited to be able to call me his girlfriend. I nervously gulped down, and felt my heart begin to race. And the reason for this was because out of the corner of my eye, I could see...
"Hi guys." Oliver said in a chipper voice.
I looked up at him, becoming confused in that instance. I didn't understand why I had agreed to this. Once Oliver was single, I was now put in a relationship. I felt Shawn's gaze on me as Oliver talked to him. I gulped again, not being to handle it.
Shawn's hands were still in mine, I now realized. And I watched Oliver's eyes look at our hands, and I studied his face, wondering what his reaction would be. But to my surprise it brightened up. Not just a little bit. Alot.
His head turned to me, smiling. "Finally. Are you two together?"
Shawn was the one who said something and looked at Oliver, grinning the biggest I have ever seen him do so, "Yes. We are."
I forced a smile on my face as Shawn looked at me once again. But then as Oliver continued to look at me with a smile bigger than I wanted, I tried to make him see that I was truly unhappy with Shawn, and wanted to be with him more than anything. But his gaze at me didn't change.
"Good." He said. And I looked at the floor.
"I'm going to go to class." Shawn said to me, and Oliver began to walk away. But out of eyesight to Shawn I grabbed Oliver's arm before he could really walk away.
"Bye." I smiled at Shawn become he kissed me on the cheek, said bye to Oliver, and left.
I turned back to Oliver so quickly I wouldn't be surprised if Shawn had seen it. "Oliver. I don't know about this."
"What don't you know exactly?" He asked.
I looked up at him, his brown eyes shining. "I don't know about this thing with Shawn. It's just that you..."
"Lilly. You have to give him a chance. I'm not going to be ready for another relationship any time soon, and I'm sorry for that. And honestly..." He looked away before saying, "...I don't even know if I like you anymore or not."
At first I didn't do anything. I didn't feel anything. I didn't move. I couldn't. Did he really say what I just thought he said?
"You... what?"
"I don't know... if I like you as more than a friend anymore..."
He looked at me again. And at that moment, I wanted nothing more than to smack him across the face. To punch him. To do at least something to physically hurt him. Try to make him feel an ounce of how he had just made me feel. My heart was broken. "What the hell?" I nearly shouted.
"Lilly. I don't know what to say, expect..."
"Expect what? How you neglected to tell me this? How long have you felt this way Oliver? You never let me know about it."
The bell rang right then. Forcing him to have to go to class, while I was able to go to lunch. "I'm sorry Lilly. But I have to go to class."
"We are going to talk about this." And I walked away, before he was able to see the tears streaming down my face.
