So I'm only fifteen years old, so I've never been in love before, which pretty much no fifteen year old has. So I don't know what it feels like. So for you older people who know what it feels like, you're just going to have to bear with me on the whole not really being descriptive on being in love. I'll try. After watching all these movies that people tell what they feel like, maybe they'll help.
"I am an awful fiancée," Lilly said in her room lying on her bed with tissues all around her. Once the tissues ran out she was just crying into her pillow.
"No you're not," Miley said rubbing circles on Lilly's back to help comfort her. "You just have a lot going on. Oliver was your first love. You know they say you'll always love your first love."
"Miley, the thing is, is that there is something between us, and it's feels stronger than it did when we were just teenagers," Lilly said explaining. "Remember when you were torn between Jake and James. Well this is what it feels like. But I also love Johnny. Johnny is perfect in every single way. He buys me flowers, he knows our song, and he listens and remembers everything I tell him. Oliver on the other hand is always getting under my skin. When we were dating, we argued half of the time. He didn't remember our song or first date. And whenever I tried to talk to him, he was always engrossed in some football game playing. But there was just something about him. The way he made me feel when he hugged or kissed me. It just felt like no one existed. It was just us."
"Listen Lilly, there's only one thing I can tell you: listen and follow your heart. Believe me, it's a lot easier than what you think," Miley said. "I think you should tell Johnny about how you are feeling."
"Are you kidding? He'd freak!" Lilly exclaimed hoarsely.
"It would be better if you just tell him, than rather you trying to keep it from him," Miley said continuing to rub circles on her back. She continued to do that until Lilly cried herself asleep.
Beep, beep, beep. Lilly tiredly moved her hand in search of her alarm clock.
"Five o'clock?" Lilly exclaimed. "Oh yeah, that's right, it's Monday! Darn school for starting so early."
She tiredly got up and went to go take a shower. Unconsciously, she grabbed her apple shampoo bottle and put some in her hand. She massaged her hair. When the aroma of her shampoo hit her nose, she realized that she had grabbed the apple shampoo. She hadn't used it since she found out Johnny was allergic to apples. She had started using shampoo that made her hair smell like a waterfall just for Johnny because he had told her that he liked it when girls' hair smelled like a waterfall. Whenever she was around Oliver though, he always scrunched his nose if they hugged each other. Lilly remembered him telling her when they first started going out that he was lucky to finally have found a girl who didn't use shampoo and conditioner that made their hair smell like a waterfall. All his past girlfriends had apparently used that kind, and he said that it smelled like his grandma's strong perfume that she overly sprayed on herself.
She finished her shower and went to go dry herself. She put her robe on and started to blow dry her hair. She sniffed her hair. It felt good to be using the apple shampoo and conditioner again. She put on her makeup, and then she went to her closet and put some clothes on. She walked her way into the kitchen. She stopped halfway and saw that Miley was asleep on the couch.
"Awe, I have the best friend ever," Lilly said remembering the night before that Miley was at her house trying to comfort her. She felt a little cheered up. She walked over to the closet in the living room and got a blanket out and put it over Miley. She continued her way to the kitchen and made some instant coffee for her. She put hazelnut creamer in it. She didn't think about it being Johnny's favorite creamer to put in coffee. She pour it down the drain, even though she knew she would probably be in a bad mood the rest of the day without her morning coffee. "Ugh, gosh, why does everything remind me of them both?!"
She went back and straightened her hair. She brushed her teeth, and put some caramel lip gloss on. She realized a second later that her caramel lip gloss would probably be the only thing both Johnny and Oliver would agree on. It was their favorite lip gloss she wore. She remembered when she dated Oliver that he would ask sometimes right before they kiss for her to put on her caramel lip gloss. Johnny was the same way.
"GAH!" she screamed. She threw the tube of lip gloss in her trash can. She stomped her way through the living room not caring if she woke up Miley and slammed the door on her way out of her apartment. She was stomping so loud that she heard some of her neighbors wake up. She knew she'd probably be getting complaints later from her landlord, but she didn't care. She continued to stomp on her way to her car.
She started up her car and sped her way to Seaview High School. She put on a happy face and tried to pretend like everything was okay with her. When she got to her classroom, she tried to find any papers that needed to be graded, so it would keep her mind off of Johnny and Oliver. To her surprise, the announcement in her class came on.
"Ms. Truscott?" the school secretary on the other end asked to see if she was there.
"Yes," Lilly said.
"Hi, you have two new students that will be in your first period class," the secretary said on the other end.
"Two?" Lilly asked since she normally didn't get two new students at the same time.
"Yes, they're twins," the secretary said. "Mr. Thompson is bringing them to your class right now."
"Okay, thank you," Lilly said trying to pretend she sounded happy. "Strange we're getting new students so late in the year. It's May. School is going to be let out in a couple weeks."
In about two minutes, two boys that looked nothing alike and Mr. Thompson, who was the principle, came in. One boy had brown hair and brown eyes. He was tall, probably over six feet. The other boy had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was tall, but not six feet. He was probably about five feet and ten inches.
"Oh, I see fraternal twins," Lilly said. She held out her hand for them to shake. "Hi, I'm Ms. Truscott, and I'm your homeroom teacher."
The two boys shook her hand. The boy with the brown hair spoke up, "Hi, I'm Oliver. And my brother is Johnny."
Lilly's hand fell out Johnny's hand that was shaking it. "Of course," Lilly said falling into her seat.
"Is there a problem?" Oliver asked. She noticed that Oliver was doing all of the talking. He must've been outgoing like the Oliver Oken she knew. Johnny wasn't really talking a whole lot. He seemed shy. Just like the Johnny Ivestor that she was engaged to was!
"Don't ever fall in love with two people at the same time!" Lilly practically screamed it at them. She ran out of her classroom. Mr. Thompson followed her.
"Lilly, is everything okay?" he asked her.
"No! I'm engaged, but I fell in love with another man at the same time! But I still love my fiancée too," Lilly spat. Tears started raining out of her blue eyes.
"Lilly," he paused. "You seem to be having a rough morning. Why don't you take the day off?"
"I can't Mr. Thompson. Besides, you'd never get a sub at last minute like this," Lilly said.
"I'll take over for you. I'll have them watch a movie or something like that, or I'll just follow your lesson plans you have set out," he said.
"You know Spanish?" Lilly said wiping a tear.
"I better stick to the movie watching," the old man said. Lilly giggled a small and short laugh.
"Do that and tell them to study for the test tomorrow," Lilly said with a small smile. "Except for Johnny and Oliver." Her smile immediately turned into a frown. She just turned her back and walked out of the school.
She ran to her car. She ignored all the questioning looks from the students walking into the school building as she walked her way to her car. She started her car and drove off to her apartment.
She arrived at her apartment. She went to go see if Miley was still asleep. She saw that Miley was still on her couch snoring. It was funny how she always complained about her dad. Lilly never told Miley that she snores. She wondered if anyone had ever told her that before. The thought made her smile a little bit.
She went and got her phone off the hook on the table next to the couch. She saw there was a message from Oliver.
"Lilly, I'm really sorry," she heard the message. "I don't know what is wrong with you, but please don't shut me out of your life again."
She started to burst into tears again. She hated this. Johnny was perfect in every single way. He was exactly the kind of guy Lilly pictured herself marrying when she was young. Oliver, on the other hand, drove her crazy. He was immature and they bickered with each other quite a lot. But there was just something between them that made Lilly go wild about Oliver.
She called Johnny. She didn't know if he'd be awake right now, but she needed to talk to him.
"Hello," a grumpy voice said at the other end.
"Hey Johnny, its Lilly," Lilly said.
"Oh hi Lils," his voice immediately cheered up.
"What are you doing right now?" she asked.
"Well I was sleeping, and it's seven thirty. Shouldn't you be at school right now?" he asked her.
"Yeah, well the principle gave me the day off," Lilly explained hoarsely. She tried to clear her throat. "Listen, we've both been so busy with our jobs and the wedding that we really haven't had any time for just us. I was hoping you'd like to spend the whole day together. I know you have the day off today for once. It couldn't have worked out better."
"Yeah, I've been missing my Chilly Lilly," Johnny said.
Lilly rolled her eyes. She hated that nickname he gave her. Chilly was supposed to be cool, but cool didn't rhyme with Lilly like chilly did.
"How about we meet at Java Station?" she asked.
"Sounds good to me, when?" he asked.
"In about fifteen minutes," she said.
"Okay," he said. "Bye, see you in a couple minutes. I love you."
"I love you too, bye," she said hanging up. Shivers went down her back as he told her those three small words, and she did the same. She didn't know how she felt right now.
Did she love Johnny? Did she love Oliver? Or did she love them both at the same time? Miley told her to listen to her heart. She said it was easier than she thought. So far it was more complicated than figuring out the key to world peace.
So sorry this chapter is so short. I'll try to hurry up with the next chapter, but I can't make any promises. Review please! I love it when I get some reviews!
