Oliver's POV
Oh. My. Gosh. If I have to listen to one more song about being a hillbilly or redneck ways of life, I will die. What am I talking about? Watching CMT for the past two and a half hours. Why am I watching it? Because Lilly doesn't want to watch hot girls making out (a.k.a. Next. Yeah, a lesbian Next! Yet I'm stuck watching old guys in cowboy hats….).
"Holy crap, can we watch something else?" Yeah, I'm so desperate I'm begging. I know, sad, right?
"No." Lilly said, not taking her eyes off the TV.
"Why not?!"
"Cause, my house, my TV, I get to pick what we watch."
"Technically, it's not your TV." She gave me a death glare.
"Well it's not!" I shrugged.
Them pretty girls can play their game
But their damn well gonna know my name
I'm a crazy ex-girlfriend
"Shit!" Lilly muttered before running upstairs to get her phone. 'Sweet' I thought, reaching for the remote.
"Oken, if you change channels, I'll kill you!" she yelled from upstairs. Damn, she's good. I just sat back and watched the end of So Small (best song ever & amazing video!). The Cowboy in Me came on next (I know it doesn't have a video, but just pretend it does!). Great, not only is it a hillbilly song, but it reminds me of when Lilly and I were together.
I don't know why I act the way I do
Like I ain't got a single thing to lose
Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
I've never really listened to this song before. It kinda relates to me…
I got a life that most would love to have
But sometimes I still wake up fightin' mad
At where this road I'm heading down might lead
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
Yup that's definitely me.
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
Damn, that's even more me.
Girl I know there's times you must have thought
The urge to run, the restlessness
The heart of stone I sometimes get
The things I've done for foolish pride
The me that's never satisfied
The face that's in the mirror when I don't like what I see
I guess that's just the cowboy in me
There ain't a line you've drawn I haven't crossed
But you set your mind to see this love on through
I guess that's just the cowboy in you
Sadly, that's not the cowboy in Lilly.
We ride and never worry about the fall
I guess that's just the cowboy in us all
"Whatcha thinking bout?" I turned to see Lilly sitting next to me. I guess I was too into the video to notice when she came back down. Dang, she's really hot…
"Oken!" she yelled, bringing me out of my trance.
"What?"
She laughed, "What is going through your head?"
You, how much that song relates to me, your hotness (ahah I love that word!), how I get to spend 5 days with you, you……
"Nothing." I said, kinda rude, before turning my attention back to the TV.
"Come on Oken, I know you better then that."
"Yeah, well I don't always have to open up to you Lilly!! See, this is why I was going out with Jamie!! She didn't try to know my every thought!!" I yelled. Shit. I instantly regretted what I just said. She just looked at me with a straight face, emotionless, before walking upstairs. I've known her long enough to know not to run after her right away. So I just sat and waited. After about a minute I heard her blasting Misery Buisness. When the song switched to I Hate Everything About You, I decided to go talk to her.
"Lilly!!" I yelled while pounding on the door, trying to be heard over the music. "Damn!" I muttered before pulling out my phone to text her.
'lilz open ur door' She responded almost immediately.
um, no….
come on, plz?
y?
i wanna talk. plz?
When she hadn't responded 3 minutes later, I slid down the wall facing her door. I sat there for another minute before seeing her doorknob move some.
its open
I jumped up and rushed for the door, pausing a moment when I got there and opening it slowly.
"Three Days Grace?" I joked when I got in her room. She just glared at me, laying on her bed.
Lilly's POV
What the fuck? He seriously has the nerve to come in here and joke. Well, knows that his jokes always used to make me laugh, even when I was mad at him. But now we're not together, so I'm not gonna laugh, especially cause I'm pissed, which he can because the only time I ever listen to anything other then country is when I'm really pissed. And I Hate Everything About You, well, I usually save that for special occasions.
"What do you want?" He sighed,
"Lilly, look. I can't even describe how sorry I am right now. You know me, sometimes I say things before I even think about it. It's not like I rehearsed a speech, so I don't remember everything I wanted to say. But I'm so sorry, and I will never regret our relationship." He said, sounding really sincere, before starting to walk out of my room.
"Oliver, wait." He turned, looking confused. I sat up and motioned for him to come over. Hesitantly, he came over and sat on my bed facing me.
"Now Oliver, you do say things before you think about them. But you really should start to think, because the things that you say can really hurt."
"I know! And I'm so sorry, I'm really gonna start trying!"
"But I guess I can forgive you this time." He smiled and started to lean to give me a hug.
"Only," I stopped him, "if you give me the Snickers in your pocket." He's so weird, he always has a mini Snickers in his pocket. I ended up taking it most of the time, being my favorite candy and all (hence my dog, Snickers…).
"Fine" he sighed before grabbing it and gently throwing it at me. I let out a small laugh, and a smile started to grow on his face. Suddenly all these emotions rushed back to me, and I remembered how much Oliver hurt me. I laid back down, putting my head in my pillow so I didn't have to look at him. He sighed and I felt the weight shift on my bed before hearing footsteps and my door closing. If this is the first day, I don't even wanna know what the rest of the week's gonna be like.
