Chapter 14

Second Thoughts

When Oliver and Lilly arrived at the lake house about three hours later. There was traffic, which was quite unusual in a way, but they made it.

The lake house was pretty big for an ordinary house. Oliver's friend probably loaded with cash to have a getaway house. The house was beside a lake and it stood two stories high with which looked like many bedrooms. When they got inside, they saw how many rooms there were which wasn't much at all, but with the amount of people staying there; they were shocked to even have a room. It was a three bedroom upstairs, two downstairs. One big living room downstairs and one small one up.

There were a whole bunch of Oliver's friends there, many of which Lilly hadn't even met before and she had fun meeting them. There was a pretty good amount of girls as well, which made her feel good knowing that she wasn't the only girl there.

They were getting their things into the house when Lilly felt a tap on her shoulder, when she turned around, she was pulled into a tight hug.

"Lilly! Why are you here?"

Lilly was shocked that someone would know her, but once she realized who it was, she felt a little odd. Who else in this state knows Lilly, other than Oliver, who is thin and has long blonde hair? Yep, Trisha.

"Trisha, what are you doing here?" Lilly asked, but Trisha just waved her off.

Trisha looked past Lilly and to Oliver, and then shrugged as she looked back at Lilly. Lilly was struggling getting her things together, but Trisha hadn't bothered helping her cousin.

"Wow, you and Oken here huh? Well, I'll see you later…" She smiled at me and left in a rush toward a group of guys. There she hooked her arm with some random guy and pulled him away from the crowd.

"Figures, she's with a dude." Lilly rolled her eyes and started off with her bags.

"And that surprises you?" Oliver asked as they went inside of the house.

"Nope, one thing is that I'm afraid she's going to be all over you." Lilly sighed as she dropped her bag to the ground.

Oliver stopped and turned around to Lilly, dropping his bags to the ground. "You shouldn't care. I'm here with you and I brought you here to have a fun night with you! You should feel anything but jealousy. If anyone should be jealous, it should be her." Oliver laughed.

Lilly gazed at him questionably, but then he pulled her into a tight hug and kissed her cheek, trying to show her that he wouldn't leave her.

"Okay." Lilly replied uneasily and let go of Oliver. Of course she's going to be defensive when someone tries to take Oliver from her and Trisha was the last person she wanted to see on the trip.

They picked up their things and went up the stairs. Oliver was following closely behind Lilly. He hardly said anything to his friends; he wanted to introduce Lilly as his girlfriend, again, later on when they were outside and having fun.

-----

Lilly and Oliver placed their things in, of course, their room, which was one they were sharing since apparently all the other rooms were taken.

Lilly was let down when she found out her cousin was there as well. Lilly suspected that Trisha didn't want to hang out with her at all, but now that she was stuck with her for the night with some other girls and boys who she didn't know, it just made her feel a little insecure. Of course the girls know Trisha, but it made Lilly feel like she was the odd one out.

Lilly and Oliver were just lying on their bed in their room. Their room was pretty big, bigger than Oliver or Lilly's normal sized room. Lilly could sense a lot of tension in the air which made her feel awkward.

The first thing that came to her mind as the two stare at the ceiling was the talk they had in the car. She didn't feel weird with the subject since she would always have small talks about sex with her friends at home, mostly Miley, but she didn't know if anything that intimate would ever happen here. Miley would always say that it had to do with moods and how when the mood is right, things happened. What if what Miley was talking about would happen to Lilly that night?

They have the day and night all to themselves and anything could happen at this point which worried Lilly. Did she want to lose something precious by someone she will break up with by the time she gets on the airplane?

"My heart is yours." Oliver randomly said as Lilly turned to him.

Oliver smiled at Lilly as he slipped his hand with hers and raised it on the bed, interlacing their fingers together. Oliver moved closer to her and pressed his lips to her shoulder while furrowing his brows.

"What?" Lilly asked with a late reaction of what he said. It didn't come to her clearly; did she even hear him clear enough?

"My heart is yours. You don't need to worry about anyone else. You have me tied down, its like I'm on a collar and you're holding my leash." Oliver chuckles and nuzzled Lilly.

"Well, Oliver does sound like a dog name." Lilly giggled.

Oliver slipped an arm over Lilly's tummy and sighed. It was the afternoon, but the long drive made him and Lilly tired.

"I'm going to nap, is that alright?" Oliver asked as he pulled Lilly tighter against him.

"Sure… I might go down-"

"No, stay with me, please." He said firmly as he kissed her neck.

Lilly sighed and nodded. She closed her eyes as she drew closer to Oliver. There she hooked her leg with Oliver's and put her hand over his on his stomach.

Lilly shut her eyes and felt Oliver pull the blanket over their bodies. She snuggled closer to Oliver and smiled while sighing softly to herself.

Oliver wanted to have a lot of fun here, but he didn't know what to do. He felt like an idiot for not knowing what good things to do for Lilly tonight, but he decided to let whatever happen as the day went by.

Without thinking, he kissed Lilly's forehead and said, "I want you." and shut his eyes. He did mean it, he wanted her, and didn't want her to leave him.

Lilly was a bit shocked to hear Oliver say that. She knew they were getting close, but not at the point where he actually said he wanted her. She shook her head and decided to go to sleep. She was tired and knew that she shouldn't care of what Oliver said, yet.

------

It was almost dinner time when Oliver woke up. A friend came in the room to wake him up so that he would eat. It slightly disappointed Oliver though, he never expected to sleep so long, but then again, he hardly had any sleep the night before. He looked at the spot next to him and noticed that Lilly wasn't there.

She must be eating already. He sighed and got up from the bed, running his hands through his hair, and walked out.

Oliver went into the living room seeing Lilly interacting with 4 of the girls. They were laughing and Oliver stood aside admiring Lilly as she laughed. He smiled and finally caught Lilly's eyes.

Lilly waved at him and Oliver went over to her, planting a small kiss on her cheek.

"Have you eaten?" Oliver asked.

Lilly shook her head and looked over to the girls and stood up.

"I wanted to wait for you." She blushed.

She felt a little embarrassed. She did wait for Oliver as the girls ate in front of her, but the thing she told the girls when they went to get their food was that she wasn't hungry.

"That's so cute!" One of the girls sitting on the couch squealed and Lilly blushed even harder.

"Okay." Oliver simply said and took Lilly's hand, leading her into the kitchen.

When they reached the kitchen, Oliver and Lilly took the last remains of the food and decided to go in the dining room, where a few people were in and ate in silence.

After that awkward dinner, Oliver went with the boys, and Lilly took her place with the girls. The girls were engrossed in a talk and when Lilly came to sit down, they filled her in with what she missed.

Lilly was one who really didn't care about what to talk about, but then when she realized what they were talking about, she wanted to leave. It was like that three lettered word was going to haunt her and it pissed her off.

"So yeah almost all of us have, but about 2 of us haven't you know?" A dark haired girl named Jackie said. She was one of the more open people in the group and she didn't mind talking about anything at all. It was kind of odd, but Lilly didn't mind the secrets being told.

"Okay?" Lilly said and leaned back against the couch.

"Have you?" A small girl named Ashley asked with her eyes turning big as she stared at Lilly.

Lilly shook her head. "No, no, no. I'm all clean; pure I guess you could say." Lilly giggled and felt her cheeks heat up.

"Ah, you're still pure. Are you saving yourself?" One of the other girls said.

Lilly started to cough. "Umm I don't know. Whatever happens, happens. I have to find the one I love first you know?" Lilly crossed her legs and looked around.

From the distorted circle they formed, from Lilly's left was Jackie, Ashley, Aimee, and Rachelle. She met them when she was going to the bathroom when she woke up. They talked and she decided to stay with them while Oliver slept.

"That's sweet." Rachelle said and Lilly smiled.

"Do you think Oliver will make you lose it?" Jackie instantly asked and Lilly shrugged.

"Like I said, whatever happens, happens and I don't know. I mean I want to do a lot of things with Oliver, I care for him, but I'm going back to California on Saturday-"

"Wait, you're only here for 3 more days here? Aw, poor Oliver." Aimee said and Lilly frowned.

"Yep… it sucks. Like you get so close with one dude while you're on vacation, your best friend since preschool at that, and now you have to leave him when you two start dating. Sucks." Lilly sighed and put her face in her hands.

"Wow that really sucks." Rachelle said and the rest agreed.

"It doesn't matter." Lilly forced a smile while cupping her cheeks. "We knew the consequences that we have to go through when I go back." Lilly expressed a half smile. "I just have to try and forget about all the things we're going through right now." She sighed and leaned back.

It was quiet for a few minutes until one of the other girls started talking about something else. Lilly started to zone out and think about her situation with Oliver.

Will I regret doing what I had done with him yesterday? Would I regret doing anything at all with Oliver? Will we still be friends after this? Lilly pursed her lips and closed her eyes. I shouldn't think about this. I shouldn't think about the future. I still have to stay present and think about now. Just enjoy the time I have with him damn it, its not like it's the end of the world.

The girls started to laugh and Lilly chuckled, pretending to hear what the others had said, but she didn't care anymore. She looked across the room and spotted Oliver as he played cards with the boys. Oliver noticed Lilly staring at him and he smiled at her.

Lilly grinned and looked back at the girls who started to talk about something else. She forced herself to listen, but she kept on going back to thinking about what would happen after their relationship

Would they really drift apart, making Lilly erase all the great memories she now has with Oliver?

-----

Everyone went outside in the cold night, as they started to drink and party. The boys decided that it would be more adventurous if they went outside to just talk about things, plus the boy who owned the house didn't want the insides to be messed up so if they were to ever party, it would have to be outside on the patio.

Lilly and Oliver were leaning against the railing of the patio, just watching as people chatted. Oliver had his arm around Lilly while taking sips of his drink. She would occasionally take a few sips, but not too much. She's afraid that if she drank too much, she'd turn into the emotional wreck she was last week when she professed her love to Oliver on accident while she was intoxicated.

"How can you drink that?" Lilly questioned Oliver as she eyed the can.

"How can you say that when you drank some yourself?" Oliver asked as he kissed her cheek. "Plus its only one can, it's not like I'm going to get drunk off it." Oliver chuckled and put both his arms around Lilly.

He squeezed her tightly and kissed her cheek as Lilly leaned back against his chest. She moved her head back, putting it against his shoulder. She turned her head so faced him and kissed his chin.

"Thou shall always be my cutie." He chuckled and pinched one of her cheeks.

"Hey!" She whined and moved her elbow back, hitting his stomach.

"Hey right back at you." He quickly kissed her and smiled.

"Lilly!" Jackie shouted from across the patio.

Oliver and Lilly looked up and Jackie got up from her seat and ran over toward the couple.

"Hey! Lets talk… we hardly talked tonight." She smiled at her.

Lilly forced a smile. They talked since she left Oliver in the room, what more did Jackie have to say?

"Umm…"

"Can I borrow her for a few Mr. Oken?" Jackie pleaded Oliver and Oliver just raised his eyebrows.

He didn't mind that she was asking it just made him feel weird that she would be asking him instead of Lilly.

Jackie drew her attention back to Lilly "Lilly! Let's go talk, we haven't for a while!" Jackie said as she took Lilly's hand and started pulling her from Oliver's grasp.

Lilly shook her head as she smiled. "No, its okay, I'm just going to hang out Ollie for a bit." She smiled at Jackie and pulled her hand back.

She wanted to spend a little more time with Oliver rather than her new friends she made. She liked them, sure, but they were a little too open about their social and sexual life which made her feel a little cautious.

Lilly felt Oliver's hand slowly let go of her, falling to her sides and with her free hand, took his hand, hoping he would get the message that he wouldn't let her go. She just didn't want to go with Jackie.

Oliver leaned in toward Lilly so that only she could him. He pressed his cheek against the side of her head and whispered, "Just go Lilly, I'm fine."

Lilly exhaled and bit her lip. She let go of Oliver's hand and Jackie smiled widely.

"I'll take good care of her." She grinned and pulled her completely away from Oliver and started pulling her off the porch.

"Where are we going?" Lilly asked and as she noticed Jackie pulling her toward the trees. It was dark out and it seemed pretty odd that Jackie was bringing her to some weird place.

"I just want to talk to you." Jackie sighed and dropped Lilly's hand.

Jackie went to sit on a log on the ground just a few yards from the house and she patted the seat next to her. Lilly watched and decided to sit next to her. She stared out at the house, she could still see Oliver, but now he was surrounded by a few of his friends.

"Sorry about that." Jackie shook her head and looked down.

"Why did you bring me here?" Lilly asked and Jackie shrugged.

"Well, I know I'm weird and irritating." She chuckled. "I just wanted to get away for a bit." She smiled to the ground.

"Okay…?" Lilly said. "And you bring me?"

They sat in silence and Lilly started to fidget. She didn't like the idea of being alone with Jackie whereas Oliver's with his friends. It was almost like she was wasting time not being with Oliver, but he didn't want to feel weird.

"So how are things between you and Oliver?" Jackie then asked and Lilly chuckled.

"Everything's fine, I told you already. What's up? You seemed pretty forceful when you wanted to take me away from Oliver." Lilly said with turning her body a bit so she could see Jackie better.

"Honestly?" Jackie said as she gazed at Lilly with full eyes. "I'm just supposed freak you out by going all the way in the woods and freaking you out. Some stupid dare, but I'm not like that." She shook her head and chuckled.

"Really?" Lilly said and Jackie nodded.

"This is my first time here too, and apparently that's what most of the girls, do. My first night was on Monday and you don't know how freaked out I was." Jackie said as she shook her head.

"Wow. That must've suck." Lilly said. She noticed Jackie being calmer and more relaxed with just Lilly.

"Yep." She sighed. "Anyway, I'm going back in a few days. I have work starting next week and I just needed to get away for a bit. This place is a fun place to just go out and relax. I guess I somewhat regret not coming her before."

"You were invited her before and yet this is your first time?" Lilly questioned.

"Yeah, I was scared to come here. I've been with Derek for almost 4 years and I never really came here all those times he wanted me to. I knew he'd fool around with someone, but I still went back to him." She shook her head.

"Wow." Lilly said.

She only met Derek today and he was a nice guy. Lilly never thought he would be the one to cheat on Jackie, even if Jackie could get a little irritating at times. Also to be loaded with a house like this must be nice, but still it shocked her.

"Whatever, it's the past. I still love him even if he can be a pain." She shrugged.

"Yeah."

"I hope you and Oliver stay together. You two seem to have a strong relationship going on."

"Thanks." Lilly giggled and lightly shoved Jackie.

The two engaged into a deep conversation about their boyfriends and it shocked Lilly in how much Jackie was opening up to her. She ended up telling Jackie everything about her and Oliver's relationship which she hasn't even told Miley about, and she felt like she didn't care. Why should she care when she's not even with Miley now?

Jackie looked up from Lilly and up to the patio where she saw Oliver, but he wasn't alone.

She rolled her eyes and pursed her lips. "Lilly, look up."

Lilly did as she was told and then what she hoped wasn't there, she saw.

"Trisha, that bitch." She sighed and shook her head.

Oliver was there, with his hands forward, as if she was trying to push Trisha away. Trisha looked as if she was coming on to Oliver, which fumed her. She hated Trisha, who wouldn't hate someone who would try to steal someone away from them? It was stupid.

"What are you going to do?" Jackie asked and Lilly shrugged.

"If Oliver cared, he would ignore her." Lilly sighed. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't exactly fight with her cousin, could she?

"Well, Trisha is a bitch; she fooled around with Derek a few times… She hates me. I fought with her to stay away, it was funny." She chuckled and looked to stare at Oliver.

"Yeah," Lilly got up from her seat and looked at Jackie.

"You want to go?" Jackie glanced at Lilly as Lilly nodded.

"Yeah, I think… I should help him out." Lilly said and the two of them walked back toward the patio. As they grew closer to Oliver and Trisha, she could hear Trisha say her name.

"…and yeah she totally doesn't care for you." Trisha said with her back faced to both Lilly and Jackie.

Trisha was holding onto Oliver's hands as she tried to get close to him. She kept on moving closer to Oliver, practically pinning him against the railing. Lilly raised her eyebrow as she stared at the two, waiting for Trisha to make her move. She could care less at this point, Trisha was just jealous.

Oliver was staring past Trisha and to Lilly. He froze and bit his lip hard as he pulled his hands away from Trisha.

"There's no need to do that hun, I'd be the only one who cares for you. Lilly wouldn't know anything, come on, we'll have fun." Trisha said as she lifted a finger to Oliver's chin so that he would look at her.

Lilly rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. She was tired of it, but she wanted to see what other things Trisha would say about Lilly so she shook her head as Oliver walked forward.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Oliver said and sighed, still staring at Lilly. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Lilly shake her head, he tried to stay focused at Trisha.

"I know that Lilly would never want to be with you. Gosh, why do you pick someone who is so… gross and can't dress for shit? She doesn't even seem the type to date someone like you, how do you know that she isn't just using you? I know her and you're not even the type she goes for. She's a slut Oliver, come on…" Trisha pressed on as she drew closer to Oliver.

Lilly gaped at Trisha and felt her anger go overboard. She shook her head, even if it was just the few minutes she was here, she could just hit her and not care that she was blood relative. Oliver is hers, not Trisha's.

"You're so-" Oliver started as he started to defend Lilly, but was then cut off with Lilly walking quickly toward Trisha, then getting a hold of Trisha's arm, and pulling her back so that she faced Lilly.

Trisha was startled to see Lilly, but as she was about to say something more, Lilly thrust her hands forward, pushing Trisha back, and stepped up to her. Before she could stop herself, she grasped onto Trisha's shirt, pulling her free hand back, and swinging it forward with her hand coming in contact with Trisha's face.

"You bitch, how can you do that?" Lilly shouted at Trisha.

Trisha just gaped at Lilly, not believing her cousin would actually hit her like that. Tears started welling as Lilly's breathing grew hard and with her hands clenched in fists.

Lilly didn't care anymore. She wanted to treat her cousin like hell even if she tried her best to not do it. This was the last straw and who wouldn't do that to someone who just back stabbed you and tried to steal your boyfriend?

"You don't know how much respect I lost for you, how can you try and steal my boyfriend? God, cant you get the clue that he doesn't like you at all?" Lilly shouted as she stepped forward, getting closer to her cousin.

Trisha said nothing more; she just stared at her cousin, yelling at her, as she cupped her now red cheek.

"And the fact that we're related, can you not go one freaking minute without a boy in your fucking pants. You're such a slut!"

She felt like hitting her again, the first time wasn't even as hard a she could, it was just the beginning and Lilly just hated Trisha so much at this point that she didn't care if people were watching.

"Lilly." Olive said with a firm voice as he walked toward the fighting girls.

He went behind Lilly and took a hold of the hand that slapped Trisha. Her other hand still gripped at Trisha's shirt as Lilly tightened her hand against the shirt.

"You're so stupid! I can't believe you! You're the reason-"

"Lilly!" Oliver said louder, as he squeezed her hand.

He put his other hand on her shoulder, lightly squeezing it, hoping it would make Lilly let go of Trisha's shirt. He caressed her shoulder and got behind her, pulling her toward his chest.

"Just let go on a walk, forget about her, and remember what I said?" He whispered into her head as he leaned close to her.

Lilly closed her eyes, dropping her hand to the side. He told her that Trisha was just jealous, but how else was she supposed to react?

Oliver pulled Lilly away from the stricken girl and down the steps of the patio, and back toward the dark set of trees.

Lilly dropped her head unable to say anything as Oliver continued walking into the dark woods, and straight ahead. Lilly felt nervous, she never showed anyone her anger before, but Oliver had seen her angry before. It just made her feel bad that he had to see her like this; she didn't want anything bad to happen during their trip there.

She sighed and gazed up at Oliver as he stared forward, still quiet and walking. Lilly didn't care that they were deep in the woods at this point; she just wanted to be with Oliver.

"Where are we going?" She asked and Oliver shrugged.

"Just a few minutes and I'll tell you." He said and continued walking.

A few minutes later, Lilly and Oliver found themselves breaking out of the set of trees and into an open area which was another part of the lake.

A/NLol whenever someone mentions the Lake House I think of that one movie with Sandra Bullock lol. I heart that movie Lol. I forgot who suggested it, but someone suggested the fight and swearing scene way back when... Thanks to whoever suggested it, better credit when I find out who suggested it :D
