I can't help the devil likes to make my heart a double bed,

And I can't help he sometimes like to come and rest his little head.

I own nothing but the plot.

One month ago

The lamps light reflected off of Lilly's head as she tried to concentrate on her book. No matter how many times she read the first sentence off the page she just couldn't get into the book. She hadn't seen Oliver in weeks and it was worrying her. And so much had happened during the last time she saw him.

Miley was dating the mayors son! Lilly still couldn't believe that herself, tall and handsome was always Miley's type but they didn't have anything in common.

Oliver and I don't have much in common

Miley was never around anymore because of it too.

Well I haven't been around much lately because of Oliver as well…

Lilly slammed the book on her bed and let out a moan.

Why didn't Miley tell me about her significant other? Why did I have to find out through Jackson?

She knew she had been distant lately but after finding out she was forced into marriage she couldn't help but get attached to Oliver. They didn't even do much! All they did was sit by the big tree near the school early in the morning and watch the sunset. They would hold each other and talk about their day.

Oh no! We act like an old married couple….great….

Lilly just wanted a normal life! She wanted to tell her dearest friend about her and Oliver and she wanted to not marry a man who was old enough to be her father!

Lilly instantly started to rub her eyes, she had been crying a lot and crying wasn't going to help her with anything. It showed weakness and that was something she didn't have.

Even though she had been showing it a lot lately…

"I'm going to tell her!" Lilly exclaimed to the air.

"Tell who what?"

Lilly instantly looked to her window to find Oliver sitting on her window seal smirking at her as if she had said something amusing.

"I can't keep us a secret anymore! Miley is with someone and I found out by Jackson! I don't want her to hear about us like I heard about her! Don't you get it? I'm done being secretive!"

Oliver's face instantly became blank as he looked at her. So many emotions were going through his head that the only word that could come out of his mouth was "No."

"This isn't some joke Oliver, I'm serious and I'm going to tell her tomorrow."

"No you are not. Lilly no one can know."

"And why is that? Am I that bad to court? Oh for heaven's sake we aren't even courting! We watch the sun come up every morning!" Lilly said viciously as she threw her hands up in the air in frustration. Did he not see how crazy this all was?

Oliver slowly came over to her bed and eyed her carefully to see if he could sit down. Once he got permission he quietly sat down on her bed. He took Lilly's left hand and carefully examined it.

"I am not a nice person Lilly," he said slowly. "There are many people that wished that I wasn't here."

"Why?" Lilly whispered.

"It's a long story but you have to trust me when I say we can't tell anyone." Oliver let go of Lilly's hand and softly touched her cheek. "I…." Oliver choked. Don't you fucking say it!

Lilly quietly started brushing his hair with her fingers.

Oliver closed his eyes and took a deep breath. You are setting yourself up to die if you do this.

"I…you…." Oliver choked out. He was such a coward he couldn't look at her.

However Lilly grabbed his face and made him look at her. "You….me….?" She teased.

Oliver looked away as he said, "Yeah….a lot…."

Lilly's smile was so big it hurt her cheeks. She wanted to laugh out loud but had to be quite. She didn't want a maid coming in and telling Mr. Rangsford about her nighttime get togethers. After all her wedding was a month away and since Mr. Rangsford refused to let her live with Miley's family she had been cooped up in a horrid mansion for weeks. All she had done was read books and explore the huge house. If it wasn't for Jackson's visit a few days ago Lilly would have gone insane by now.

But now, with Oliver looking everywhere but her, she knew exactly what he was saying,

I love you too.

"Me too," she whispered. Oliver instantly looked at her with the most shocked face she had ever seen. She couldn't possibly feel the same way….could she?

But she doesn't even know me

Before he could say anything Lilly grabbed him by his shirt and crashed her lips onto his. She had never felt more ready than at that moment in time.

Oliver quickly pulled away, sensing what she was getting ready to do, "Are you sure?" His voice cracked. He couldn't do this to her….not her.

"I am ready Oliver." She said confidently, "And I will be damned if that old snobby man I'm marrying will be my first."

That set off something in Oliver's head. He instantly started kissing her and couldn't seem to be pulled away from her.

Present Time

Lilly paced back and forth of her bedroom, she wanted to scream in anger and pain.

She knew.

She heard the whole conversation with Oliver and his friend.

Was he going to die? Was she going to die?

"She is not like the other's that I have had to kill before-"

What did that even mean? What did I do that made someone hire a hit man?

Her head ached, and her heart felt like it had been stabbed.

She hated him

She loved him

She clutched her stomach and started to sob. Of course she had to find out about all of Oliver's little secrets on the day she finds out she's pregnant.

Not to mention her own wedding was in less than a few days away!

Lilly fell on her bed; head first onto to a pillow. She cried for a good two minutes before an idea popped into her head.

She wiped her face with her hands and instantly got up and started rummaging through her wardrobe. Grabbing her suitcase from underneath the bed and her boots.

She refused to go through the humiliation and shame she would have to go through if Miley or her grandmother ever found out about her situation. Nor would she go through facing Oliver. He never loved her.

He was suppose to kill her.

Once she put as much clothes as she could into her suitcase she started looking for a pen and paper. Lilly furiously addressed her letter to Miley telling her enough information that wouldn't give herself away.

She folded the paper up and put it into an envelope. She kissed it and gently set it on her bed, grabbed all her stuff and quietly left the house.

Lilly was fortunate to have had a stash of money in her suitcase incase of emergencies but she always felt guilty to use it. She was thankful now that she never touched it because Lilly didn't even know how much a train ticket even cost.
