Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Just like nights ago before Lilly woke up in panic and sweat, by yet another dream that she had had. The dream consisted of her in Miley back when they were young, and Lilly had the same feeling that she had like in the camping dream.
Lilly was staring at herself in the mirror: wet face, tired eyes, and matted hair. Okay Truscott, this is not true. You do not love Miley, repeat you do not…Sigh there is no fighting it, I do, I do love Miley. Lilly shifted from her position and was now leaning on the sink with her head tilted back and eyes closed. How could this have happened? It was not suppose to be, I just felt bad for her, so I dated her, now I have fallen for her. Ugh this totally complicates things.
Lilly was to lost in her thoughts, she did not hear the alarm go off, or Oliver waking up. "Lils? What are you doing up so early you don't have classes today, or are you going to see Miley again."
Lilly was taken back to reality when she heard Oliver talk to her, and noticed his new demeanor and the last part of his sentence coming out a little too harsh. "Um no, she is coming over here today, and what is wrong with you?" Lilly took note to her bitterness in her sentence, and could not figure out why Oliver was so upset about her hanging out with Miley. Of course that is all he thought they were doing.
Oliver let out a breath and strummed his fingers through his hair. "I don't know Lils. You two have become inseparable once again and I feel like the third wheel once again." His gaze shifted to floor, showing his sadness.
Lilly got up from the sink and walked over to Oliver taking one of his hands. "Oliver there is no worry, I love you more than anything." Saying this Lilly could not help but feel something did not feel right the way she said the last part.
Looking up to meet her gaze he looked at Lilly intensely. "But do you love me more than Miley?"
Lilly was taken aback, her mind went completely blank, and her mouth agape for a few seconds before responding. "Wh-What?"
Oliver started to get frustrated and anger grew in his voice. "Do you love me more than Miley?"
"Yes of course I do, Oliver how could you think that." Again a weird filling grew in the pit of Lilly's stomach, but she pinned it as just fear of what was happening.
"Oh gee Lils, let's think, you are always with her, you have been ignoring me, every second of everyday you find some way to mention her, every time she calls you get lost and end up talking for hours, when you plan on going over there you barely say two words to me, and you come home late! What am I supposed to think it's like I don't exist anymore!"
Oliver dropped his hand from hers and turned around and stormed into the bedroom. "Oliver! Look I'm sorry that you felt like I deserted you, but remember Miley and I haven't seen each other in years you should be happy for us!"
He turned to face her with red glaring eyes. "Of course I'm happy! But that doesn't mean I like it!" His hands grew into fists and knuckles started to turn white.
"How in the world does that make any sense?!" Lilly started to get annoyed by Oliver's behavior and reciprocated her words in the same tone.
"I'm happy for your Lils, you guys were great friends, but that does not mean you should shove me out of your life again, that's what I'm not happy about!" He kept is stance eyes fiercely looking into Lilly's.
"What do you mean again?! Oliver you have been my best friend since preschool and now we are soon to be married! Forgive me for having a friend!"
"This is just like what happened when Miley first moved here! You couldn't get enough of her, you would always hang out with her, talk about her, stay on the phone with her, be over her house like twenty four seven! You never had time for me anymore and it's happening again!"
No way I couldn't have. Did I act like this back when we were teenagers? I didn't like or love Miley back then did I? "Oliver she was my first real friend that was a girl! I couldn't really stay all tomboyish for my whole life!"
Oliver was now pacing around the room before he finally lost his temper and knocked everything off the dresser. "Damn it Lilly!" Everything fell to the floor picture frames were now shattered and little trinkets where rolling everywhere. "Just answer the question do you love her more than me!" He moved closer to Lilly coming right up to her face. Lilly was frozen, Oliver never acted this way and it was scaring her. "Please Lilly, answer. I love you Lilly I love you so much words are not enough, if I die for you it will not be enough to show how much I love and care for you. Please."
Tears filled Oliver's eyes as his temper and volume started to die down. "Oliver," Lilly wrapped her arms around him and kissed his head saying his name the sweetest way possible.
"I'm sorry." He took her presence and started to let a few tears fall as she stroked his hair.
"Shhh, no, it's okay, it's okay," She led him over to the bed and they sat down. "Oliver I love you, more than anything, Miley or anyone else for that matter cannot change that okay. You are so important to me and I don't wanna loose you. I love you Oliver, I love you."
Lilly did not know why but her saying what she said about Miley not being able to change her love for Oliver, felt like she was cheating on Miley. Saying that she loved Oliver felt weird to her now. She came to the reason that she never said 'I love you' to Miley before, well she had, but it was in a friend way not lover way. "Look how about I go over to Miley's and stay for a few minuets, and come back home okay." Oliver nodded his head, and wiped his eyes. Lilly kissed him lightly and then got up to head over to Miley's.
Unknown to both of them that Miley was right outside, hearing every single word that was exchanged from the engaged couple. Miley could not move every word that they said went through her ears, traveled through her body, and attacked her heart. She turned on the heel and started to head back to her apartment. Tears were on the brink as she friskily tried to make her way through the morning crowd. She knew in the end that Lilly will go back to Oliver but she was most positive that she broke Lilly, and Lilly would be hers.
Uh, selfish much Stewart? Sigh, I should have never done it. I should have never asked Lilly to give me chance. She said in the end that she would go back to Oliver, but I never realized how much it was going to hurt. Not only did I hurt myself, but I damaged Oliver as well. That really was not my intention. It's just that the more time I spent with Lilly the more I fell in love with her. But I shouldn't have, for my love will never be bounced back by Lilly. I can't do this anymore, I don't want to hurt Oliver, I can't not keep hurting Oliver. He loves her and she loves him, for she said so, that I could not come between them. As much as I don't want to I have to end it with Lilly.
Miley made her way through her door, and tears were falling freely. For before she even made the break-up with Lilly official, her heart was hurting, literally. She felt a sharp pain and pressure in her chest and it was killing her. But she had to do it, for Oliver. She looked at herself in the mirror and cleaned her face from the tear stains and did her best to look presentable, for she new Lilly was coming over.
Just then there was a knock at the door and the sound of the hinges being moved so the door could be opened. "Miley?"
Miley took one last look at herself in the mirror and took in a breath. Okay Miley, you can do this, you have to do this, for Oliver. She then left the room and entered into the living room. "Lilly hey." Miley tried to sound as calm as she could but she new she was failing.
Lilly looked at Miley hearing the nervousness in her voice. "Hey, look I can't stay long, I promised Oliver I would only stay for a few minuets and umm is something wrong?" Lilly moved her way over to the couch and sat down with Miley right behind her.
"Nope everything is fine." Miley looked at Lilly and she had that stop-avoiding-it-I-know-something-is-wrong-with-you look. Miley sighed and gave in. "Okay, umm no something is wrong, we need to talk."
Lilly looked at her intensely with her heart starting to beat faster for those words could never mean a good thing. With a small voice Lilly spoke. "S-sure what's on your mind?" Lilly started to panic. Do I really want to hear this?
"Okay, uh how do I say this," Miley shifted herself on the couch turning to face Lilly and grabbing her hands. Lilly's focus grew on Miley and her heart started to pump faster.
"What is it Miles?"
"Lilly I feel, I think, it might be best, if-if I don't think I can go to your wedding." Miley could not do it she could not say what she wanted to say she wanted to hold on to Lilly as if Lilly was her last breath on Earth.
Lilly was somewhat hurt, she looked deep into Miley's eyes. "What? Why?"
You have to do this Stewart come on its going to hurt just say it! "Because I-I can't."
"Why cant you?" Lilly was now frantically looking from Miley's eyes as best as she could, since Miley had her eyes fixed on their hands.
"Because, because,"Breathe Stewart just say it! "Lilly I can't be with you anymore, I- we need to break-up!" Miley said these words so fast; she wished that it was all a dream. She held her breath and kept her eyes fixed on their hands.
Lilly sat there motionless for she wished she did not hear what she just heard. "Wh-Wha-Why? What made you- why?" Lilly could not function.
Miley still avoid the blondes gaze. "Lilly I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry."
"No! No! You were the one who wanted to get together in the first place! You were the one who had feelings for me! You can not just out of the blue break-up with me!" Lilly now stood up and new her voice was rising. She had so many emotions running through her right now anger, betrayal, hurt, and sadness.
Miley joined her now standing and was getting ready to raise her voice too. "Please Lilly don't be mad."
"Don't be mad! Don't be mad! I'm a lot more things than mad Miley!" Lilly's eyes started to turn red and you could see a dam of tears getting ready to break.
"Lilly! I'm sorry! Look, you where the one who said, you would only date me for a little while and go back to Oliver! So after awhile I came to the realization that you just took pity on me!"
"That is not true!" Lilly stared at Miley refusing to break looking at her while Miley was pacing around the room.
"Yes it is Lilly! Admit it! You felt sorry for me!" Does she not realize this is killing me too? I love you Lilly, but I can't be with you. "I think it would be best if we forget this charade, you go and marry Oliver and forget me!"
"Okay! Maybe at first yes, but after…" Lilly could no longer hold back the tears that were starting to drip down and she felt as if she was breaking.
Miley saw how hurt Lilly was and decided to lower her tone. "After what Lils."
Lilly looked up at Miley who now stopped pacing and folded her arms across her chest. "Miley I-I-I love you." Lilly said this in the most sweetest and nicest ways possible for she let her heart out, and it felt right.
Miley looked down, she was right Lilly had fallen for her, and now she destroyed it. But she couldn't keep up with it she had to end what they had. "Lilly," Miley walked over to Lilly and looked intensely at her teary eyes. "I always loved you, but I guess that is just not enough is it?" Lilly looked up at Miley through her blurry vision and gave her a questionable look. Miley wrapped Lilly in a hug and Lilly buried her face into the brunette and started sobbing. Miley stroked her hair and tired to clam her down.
Lilly eventually pulled away and Miley cupped her face and wiped her tears. "Listen I need you to forget about me, and not love me." Miley was the one on the verge of tears now as she rested her forehead on Lilly's, but Lilly avoided her gaze. She then brought their lips together. Lilly went into the kiss instantly wrapping her arms around Miley's neck pulling her closer and Miley wrapped her arms around Lilly's waist pulling her closer. Neither girl wanted to let go nor the kiss end, because it was a kiss of goodbye.
The kissed was filled with anything you could imagine being in a kiss. Then the girls broke apart lips still lightly touching. Miley could not take it any longer she pulled away from Lilly as Lilly tired to dive in for another kiss only to end up with nothing. Miley quickly hugged Lilly tightly and let go. Lilly then looked at Miley no words being spoken she left and Miley broke down.
Lilly walked home quickly and tears pouring from her eyes. Before she went into her house she stayed outside to calm and recollect herself, she did not want Oliver to worry or question her. She then took a big breath and went inside. "Oliver I'm back."
Oliver came in and looked at Lilly. "Hey Lils. Wow that was shorter than I thought it would be." He gave her a peck on the lips before going to sit on the couch. She followed him staying mute. She sat down next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. He accepted and wrapped his arm around her. "Rest up sweetheart, for tomorrow is our wedding day." Oliver said this with happiness and pride, while Lilly was sore.
Sigh. I guess this is best. Miley is right, I can't love her, I have to forget her. My future is with Oliver and it should stay that way. But I will always love you Miley. Making that last thought for Miley, Lilly drifted off to sleep on Oliver's shoulder.
