Chapter 25: Now It's Miley and Olivers' Turn To Hide Something
Lillys' POV
I was walking in a line, cuffed in chains.
The rain drizzled down, soaking us to the bone.
The sound of guns firing, chains clanking and people screaming while whips hit their bare backs were all I could hear.
I looked up to the sky to see a lighting bolt flash across it.
As I looked back at the frozen prisoners I imagined the sunny beach of Malibu,
Jackson trying to flirt, Rico ripping people off, Oliver waving, Miley yelling at me to come at meet them.
But that was all over now.
I looked up to see someone yelling at my face.
I could only see his mouth move over the rain and thunder.
Suddenly I felt hands on me, shaking me.
I could feel the same people dragging me and throwing me against a wall.
The cold stone stung my body but I didn't care.
I seemed to have lost the will to care for pain.
I saw a man raise a whip,
It struck not once but 30 times against my cold flesh,
Leaving scars of painful memories.
There was yelling, shouting,
Then someone raised a gun and…………
I bolted upright in terror. I looked to my left to see Oliver sitting right across from me. He was looking at me as though he couldn't believe something. I lay back down on my bed.
I heard a small whisper from Oliver.
"Lilly?"
"Yeah?" I whispered back at him.
"Welcome back." He smiled.

Mileys' POV
I was wondering the hallways of the hospital. Days had past since the first terror we had of Lillys' heart failure.
"234, 235, 236 and ah! 237!" I said reaching Lillys' room.
The first thing I saw was Oliver, looking as pain ridden as ever. Then my eyes shifted to see an astonishing site.
Lilly was awake.
Lillys' POV
I heard the door open and I saw Miley standing there with a look of amazement.
"Hey." I croaked.
She dropped her bag and rushed over to me.
"How are you doing?" She asked peering into my eyes.
I just shrugged.
We sat in awkward silence for a moment.
"Thanks." I mumbled to my sheets.
"For what?" Miley asked.
"Everything." I said. "Helping my Mum, saving me, in short everything."
"What else are best friends for?"
I smiled.
"But please," Miley said looking very serious. "Don't you DARE ever scare us again!"
I just laughed.
"Lillian this is VERY serious!" Miley said using my real name
"I know! But Miley, how many times have I told you not to use my real name?"
Now it was Mileys' turn to laugh.
"Too many!"
We went back to silence.
"It's a lot like, Romeo and Juliet, I feel like something's happening to me." Sang Mileys' phone.
"Jake." She muttered searching for her phone.
"You have the song Romeo and Juliet by Toybox as your ringtone for Jake? I asked in incredulity. A/N: Love that song
"Well you had Best Friend by them and then you changed it to You Belong With Me for Oliver." Miley snapped back. A/N: I also love these songs!!! You Belong With Me is the best song! And is it just me or is the song Best Friend perfect for Lilly and Oliver?
I opened my mouth then closed it. Oliver looked at me as though he couldn't believe his eyes.
"You're kidding?"
I shook my head.
Now it was Olivers' turn to laugh.
"Because I had If We Were A Movie as mine for you."
"Now that must be a joke!" I said.
"Nope!"
"Hello, on the phone here!" Miley shouted at us.
"Sorry!" We mumbled.
There were a lot of ahas, followed by a yes and she's awake. We could guess just by Mileys' side of the conversation that they were taking about me. Why am I always the centre of conversations these days? It's always "How's Lilly?" or "She's finally woken" or something like that. You know some days I like to know what is going on in someone elses' life for once!
Miley put down the phone.
"Jakes' coming." She said bluntly.
10 minutes later, Jake arrived looking dishevelled but eyes were sparkling with joy.
"You're awake!" He said in happiness.
I could only nod.
We then went through the whole conversation that started with Jake asking about me and then turning his attention onto Miley where it should be. I always knew they would end up together. I was really happy for them. They deserved each other. I regret not being at their wedding. It would have been fabulous. The day Jake Ryan would no longer be a bachelor. Now I HAD to see that but sadly I couldn't.
Suddenly there was a scream from the door. Now I was included in the whole 'Jumping 10 metres into the air' thing.
"Lilly!" I heard my Mum shout.
How many times we must go through this conversation? Okay let's count. There's Jackson, Hayley, Dad, Mr Stewart……AH!!!!!
So for the rest of the day we went through that whole conversation. Finally Oliver and I were left alone.
He looked at the ceiling as though he was trying to make patterns but I knew better. He was trying to avoid any awkward conversations. I decided to break the ice.
"Thanks." I said to his face.
"What else are best friends who happen to be crazy and in love with you for?" He asked looking into my eyes.
"I just wanted to say it was really brave. You could have died."
"Do I have to repeat my last sentence?"
I laughed again.
"No. I just wanted to say thank you!"
"Well you're very welcome." Oliver said placing a kiss on my lips.
***
The next day, I woke up to find Oliver gone. He must have left during the night. I suddenly heard footsteps and I quickly pretended to be asleep as the door opened.
"Do you honestly think she should come considering?" I heard Mileys' voice say.
"Well she went didn't she?" Olivers' voice said.
"But considering!" Miley said.
"Considering what? That she disappeared before she could finish it?"
"Yes that and considering it might bring back too many painful memories!"
What on earth are they talking about? It sound like Miley didn't want me to come with me to something and Oliver was backing me up. Maybe it was taking me to a Hannah concert.
"She has had more painful memories than what you are talking about!" Oliver hissed.
"Oliver this is no Hannah concert we are talking about!"
Okay so that rules that idea out!
"I know but Miley do you really believe she wouldn't want to come? It would be good!"
"Oliver you have no idea what you are talking about! People still think she is dead!"
Wow, didn't see that one coming.
There was silence. Maybe Oliver was thinking.
"You're right!" He said at last.
Miley didn't respond. I wonder if she had leaned back in her seat looking victorious. I slowly opened my eye a centimetre and saw that I was right.
"But I still think she should go." Oliver added.
"And I think-"
"I KNOW!"
I thought that was my cue to stop pretending to be asleep.
"Know what?" I said faking a yawn.
"Nothing." Miley said quickly.
But for the rest of there visit I thought they were hiding something but what? I was racked up in thought. What wouldn't Miley let me come to that Oliver thought I should? Couldn't be anything Hannah related so that rules that one out. By the way, I wondered what happened to Lola. I wonder what lie Miley had come up with. Note to self: Ask her about it.
Miley then suddenly stood up ending my trance in thought.
"Going?" I said sadly.
"Gotta go, Jake has just texted me."
"Oh."
Miley then tripped on her seat leg, her contents of her purse went everywhere.
"Let me help!" Oliver and I said together.
We both bent down to help scramble up everything.
"I think that's it." Oliver said.
"Thanks guys." Miley said.
"Wait, what's that?" I asked picking something up and reading it.
I suddenly knew what they were talking about.
"Guys, is this what you were arguing about?" I asked holding it up.
They looked at each other and then at me and I knew what they were thinking.
"Oh shoot she heard us."
"Guys," I started again. "So were you?"
They didn't answer.
A/N: Is it just me or did Lillys' dream seem like poetry? If it does I aplogise. We are studing poetry in English. YAY Longest chapter word wise and length wise I have written! WOOT!!!!
