A/N: I am so sorry I haven't updated in forever! Something in my laptop crashed and I had to send it in to get fixed. They said it would take about a month but it ended up taking about two and a half months. So I'm really sorry about that.

So, This never really occurred to me till now, but I just want to let everyone know that my Fanfictions are just for fun. I don't take them as seriously as some other people do. I know of people who write Fanfictions because they want to become a writer. I am not one of those people. I am into acting and running; writing is just to keep my brain active. I do like hearing the wonderful reviews though. I will continue to write and I hope you will continue to enjoy my writing.

My vision was a blur. Like opening my eyes after a good night's sleep. But in this case it wasn't the best sleep. I don't even know if it was sleep I had fallen into…or something else. I blinked a couple times, clearing my vision. I looked around, unaware of where I was for a couple seconds, as if my mind was empty. I was in 'my' room. The lights were off but the sun was shining through the clear glass door illuminated the entire room. I was covered with two thick blankets with my one hand sticking out from underneath, still griping onto Oliver's.

Oliver was sitting next to me on the bed, his eyes staring at me as if he were concentrating on me, on my every move. "Lilly" Oliver said in a whisper, as if he didn't believe I had really opened my eyes and it was just his mind playing with him. I smiled. Not a smile that I thought I was giving but a real smile that I knew I was giving. My smiled seem to make him glow. "Lilly, you have no idea how worried I was about you." Oliver exclaimed in a soft whisper. I wanted to tell him that I did know how worried he was, that I heard everything he said to me, and for the first time since I woke up, I realized I could tell him.

"Oliver," I said softly. "Thank you." I wanted to say so much more. I wanted to tell him that without him my life wouldn't be the same. I wanted to tell him that I could never in a million years repay him for everything he has done for me. And most importantly I wanted to gaze into his chocolate brown eyes and tell him I loved him. I wanted to so bad but 'Thank you' was all that came out. Oliver raised an eyebrow then lowered it. His thumb grazed my backhand as he brought his other hand to my cheek. My mind was telling me to sit up and hug Oliver, but my body wouldn't let me move.

"It's okay," Oliver said. "You don't have to say anything, just get some rest." Oliver smiled his charming smile.

"No, I do" I responded. "You probably saved my life. I could have frozen to death out there. I was stupid and not thinking straight. I don't even know what I was thinking at the time."

"It's okay, we all make mistakes. Including me." I gave Oliver a questioning look. Staring into my eyes I knew what he had to say was important and that he was trying to push himself to do it. Before he got the chance to say what he wanted, the door flew open. Miley stood at the door as if a single spotlight were shining on her.

"Lilly!" she exclaimed. She ran towards me, breaking Oliver's and my clasp hands and hugging me tight. "I was so worried." She said into my ear. After a moment of just hugging me just continued "but" she lowered her voice "Not as worried as Oliver was" I couldn't help myself, I let a small giggle escape my lips. Miley pulled away from me her hands on my shoulder. "Though," Miley started, her voice quickly changing from perky to serious. "Don't you dare ever scare me like that again! "Do you know how worried I was when I went up to Oliver asking for you and he responded by saying 'I haven't seen her all day'?" Miley paused. I saw Oliver put a hand on Miley's back as if to make her calm down but she ignored it. Miley was right. "I was worried sick!"Miley's voice lowered as her eyes were gleaming at me with worry. I lowered my head as I spoke.

"I'm sorry" I said quietly. "I was thinking I was something that I am not. I know it was a stupid thing to do."

"It's okay, I'm not mad" Miley assured me. "I was just extremely worried. I don't think my heart had ever pounded in my chest so fast."

"Now we have established that." Oliver said, changing the subject. "How are you feeling?"

Before I got a chance to answer, there was another knock at the door. The three of our heads shot towards the direction of the sound. Jackson and the one person I positively did not want to see walked in the room. "Hey Lilly, How're you feeling?" Jackson asked.

"I just finished asking that, thank you." Oliver announced giving Jackson a fake glare, lightening up the mood.

"My ankle hurts but other than that, I feel fine." I glanced at Miley, to Jackson, to Oliver. "Thank you."

The room felt out of place with Maddie there with us. Like a puzzle piece that just doesn't fit, no matter which way you turn it. "Hey guys," It was Maddie. "Do you think you can give me and Lilly a few moments alone?" I felt my eyes pop out of my head as I glared from Miley to Oliver.

"Well…" Miley started but was cut off.

"Just five minutes" Maddie pleaded. "That's all I need."

I sighed nodding my head ever so slightly. The three stepped out of the room shutting the door behind them. I felt uncomfortable. I was in a room with a girl who I barely even knew who without knowing it had ruined my vacation. I wondered if Maddie felt as uncomfortable as me.

"Lilly, I'm sorry." Maddie said softly. The smile which was always plastered proudly on her face was gone.

"Excuse me?" I asked, more shocked than anything.

"I have a boyfriend and I know you like Oliver" Maddie said in a whisper, in case any of the others ears were pressed against the door listening in.

"What...I …" I stuttered in half anger and half surprise. How could she flirt with Oliver when she had a boyfriend? How could she flirt with Oliver if she knew I liked him?

"I see the way you look at him." Maddie said. "It's the same way he looks at you." How cliché. People say that in romance movies, sure, but this was real life. I tried to come back with anything but Maddie didn't give me the chance. "I wasn't trying to get in the way of your relationship and I definitely wasn't trying to lead Oliver on." Maddie sighed. "I was going through a lot when I came here and I guess I was just looking for someone to talk to. I didn't mean to hurt you."

For the first time around Maddie, I truly smiled.

"You know," Maddie started, sitting on the edge of my bed as far away from me as possible. "When I was talking with Oliver your name came up in over half of our conversations. You were the only thing on his mind." I turned my head towards the window, a slight blush creeping onto my face. Some girls may think it was cheesy, but I thought it was sweet. "I may not be a relationship wizard, but I think you feel the same way about him as he does about you."

With one last smile, Maddie got off the bed and walked out the door. I sat there speechless. Oliver talked about me around Maddie? I laid in the center of the bed for a few moments, thoughts pondering through my head. I bit my lip. When did everything become so confusing?

I pulled the covers just over my chest cozying into the bed. Thinking about the question, my mind brought me back to the time I saw Oliver and Maddie sitting on the couch that night. My heart pounded against my chest. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to talk to Oliver. I don't care if he laughed at me. After what he did for me, I owed him the truth.

Forgetting I busted my foot back at the ice, I stepped out of bed. The instant my foot came in contact with the hardwood floor, I screamed in pain. My foot hurt more than it had when I actually fell. As my scream trailed throughout the house, the bed room door flew open and Oliver ran into the room.

"What do you think you're doing?" Oliver asked running to my side, helping me off the ground.

"I needed to talk to you" I whimpered, tightly gripping Oliver's arms to steady myself. I didn't want to sound weak in Oliver's arms but it hurt so much, I couldn't help myself. Oliver's eyes stared into mine, the corner of his mouth twitching upwards, yet his eyes filled with so much concern. I opened my mouth then closed it again.

"Are you okay?" The voice wasn't Oliver's, it was Savannah's. I guess she heard my scream. Behind her were Miley, John, Mr. Stewart, and Larry.

"No" I said as Oliver helped me back on the bed.

"Let me look at it" It was Larry. "My wife is a doctor; I know a fair share of first aid." Everyone took a step back and let Larry examine my foot. He touched the back of my heal ever so slightly. I winced, but I was able to keep myself from screaming. "Well the good news is that it's not broken, but you may have sprained your foot along with tearing a muscle and tissue. I heard Savannah give a sigh of relief. "You should keep off of it for a while and let it heal." I nodded a thank you.

Jackson came in with a bag of snow with a towel wrapped wound it. "The best thing about being in a place where there is snow on the ground for have the year," said Jackson as he gently propped my foot up on a pillow and placed the snow on top. "Is you never run out of ice."

"Get some rest, Lilly" were the last words I heard before everyone cleared the room, leaving Oliver and I alone, his dark brown eyes staring down into mine. I bit my lower lip. I didn't know what to say.

"Come with me" Oliver whispered after a long moment of silence. He held out his hand to help me off the bed. I hesitated before placing my hand in his and pushing myself off the mattress. Oliver wrapped an arm around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, balancing on one foot. Slowly, he walked me to the glass door which lead to the balcony. Opening the door, I was struck with winter air. Cool, crisp and fresh air. It reminded me of when I was all by myself walking though the forest on my way to the ice with a pair of skates dangling over my shoulder. Thinking back to that moment, I realized how stupid that idea truly was. I would always say to Miley, 'you are you, and no one could ever change that.' Maybe it was time I start taking my own advice.

Without a sound, I got out of Oliver's tight grip and hopped on my uninjured foot to the cold railing. I sighed looking at the sun trying to peep through a small patch of thick winter clouds.

"Stupid" I whispered under my breath. Oliver came behind me and put his hand on my back in a comforting way. Without thinking, I laid my head on Oliver's shoulder. Instead of pulling away, he pulled me closer to him.

"Lilly," Oliver whispered to me.

"yeah" I didn't look up at him, instead I stared straight ahead.

I felt Oliver tense beside me. He paused for a long moment before speaking. "Remember when I said 'we all make mistakes, including me?'" I nodded. "Well that's because I have made a horrible mistake on this trip." I looked at him searching for answers. But his face was blank and unreadable. His gorgeous brown eyes looked deeply into my plain blue ones as if trying he were trying to speak to me though his eyes. Without warning, Oliver's mouth was on mine in a gentle kiss. I stumbled backwards in surprise but Oliver caught me by putting both arms around my waist and pulling me against him. I closed my eyes and leaned into the kiss as his lips softened. I could feel the rapid beat of his heart and the sweet taste of hot chocolate on his lips. I wound my hands into his hair, as I'd wanted to do for a long time. His hair curled around my fingers, silky and fine. My heart was hammering against his and I knew he could tell.

Oliver was the first to pull away. I opened my eyes. Oliver's face was inches from mine, his arms still wrapped tightly around my body. His eyes were shining at me, his lips in a tight smile making the corners of my mouth twitch upwards. I don't remember a time where I felt so surprised yet so happy.

"Lilly" Oliver breathed. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I brought my lips up to his for a short moment. When I pulled away I nodded. "I've never wanted anything more." And for the first time in so long, falling into Oliver's arms, I was not confused. Everything made sense again.

A/N: So here is the chapter most of you have probably been waiting for. I don't know when the next chapter will be up. It may be a while.

And again, sorry about the long wait.
