He he! Cliff-hanger. Is Mia dead? Or could it have been Michael? This is the last chapter.
We all froze. There was yelling, the sound of Lars shouting instructions. Horrible thoughts rushed through my mind. What if Mia was... or Michael! For two minutes we sat in silence, no one moving. I started relieving all the things I had done with Mia. Playing with Barbie's when we were little, going to secondary school together, filming Lilly Tells it Like it Is, finding out she was a princess, all my plans for her and Michael. I couldn't help it; everything we had done together was running through my mind.
Then Mia poked her head round the sitting room door. "Mia!" Helen screamed.
"Mom", said Mia, running forward and giving her a huge hug. She was crying. I got up and Mia turned and hugged me too. Then it was Michael's turn. He was already hugging Mom. Then he turned to me. "Alright Lil'?" He asked. I didn't answer, just hugged him. "I'll take that as a yes then". I burst into tears all over again. Then it was like a spell had been broken, and everyone was smiling and laughing and talking. I saw Mia and Michael look and smile at each other. I whispered to Mia "I know".
"What do you know?" She asked.
"About you and Michael".
She laughed. "How?"
"Tell you later".
Then Lars came in and explained that when the 'hostiles' had seen the men surrounding him, he had fired a warning shot, before realising that they were outnumbered. Mia, not being able to see anything out the blacked out windows, had screamed in surprise. Relief flooded over us when we were told that no one had been hurt.
"Where is my Granddaughter?" asked a voice imperiously from the doorway.
We all turned. "Grandmere?" said Mia incredulously.
"Am I not allowed to see if my granddaughter is alright? Amelia, are you okay?"
"Yes, yes I'm fine," said Mia, still in shock
"Well if we're all finished here then I'd like to take you all out for dinner. Mia, you can choose the restaurant."
Which is how Mia, Michael, Lars, Helen, Mr. Gianni, Mia's dad, my Mom, my Dad and me came to be sitting in two limousines, heading for a posh restaurant that Mia said she had always wanted to go to. Over dinner I told them all why we had been down that road in the first place. My explanation of the way Mia and Michael had been avoiding each other had everyone in fits of laughter. By the end both Mia and Michael were bright red, and the atmosphere, which could have been very tense, was relaxed and happy. Looking round the table, I realised what was missing. I had no boyfriend. He didn't want me anymore.
When we got home I went straight up to bed, saying I was really tired. I collapsed onto my bed and burst into tears for the third time that day. I missed him so much. Eventually I dried up my tears and went to sleep.
The next day I was woken by the sound of Michael coming into my room. "You didn't tell me that you had broken up with Boris", he said.
"How do you know?" I asked groggily.
"I've just spoken to him on the phone. I thought he ought to know about yesterday. Why did he dump you?"
"I don't know", I said, just as my voice cracked and I burst into tears again.
"Hey, don't worry", said Michael, coming over and giving me a hug. "He's coming over now. He sounded really worried".
"What?" I said, suddenly wide-awake. "He's coming over?"
"Yeah, so I suggest you get dressed. I'm going out with Mia today. Oh yeah, Lilly?"
"What?"
"Thanks for everything you've done for me and Mia. If there's anything I can do for you and Boris, just say."
"Okay, thanks"
I flung on some clothes and was running a brush through my hair when the doorbell rung. I edged to the front door. 'Deep breaths', I thought to myself. I opened the door. "Hi Lilly", said Mia, bounding into the hallway.
"Wha-"
"Hi Mia", said Michael, coming into the hall. "Oh", he said, looking at my face, "Did you think it was Bor-"
I silenced him with a look. Mia didn't know yet and I didn't want her asking questions. "I'll see you guys later", I said sunnily. I pushed the door shut and slid to the floor. Moments later there was a knock. I stood up and opened the door. Boris was standing there looking awkward. After staring at each other for a moment, I said, "Do you... do you want to come in?"
"Ye-yeah, okay". We went into the kitchen.
"Do you want a drink?" I asked.
"Yeah, please". I turned away and poured out some orange juice. Then I came to a sudden decision. Turning quickly, I said "Boris, why did you dump me?"
"I- I got an email. It was one that you sent to Tina. It said that you really liked Felix, you know, that guy from the band. It said that you were fed up with me and you were just going out with me until you got another boyfriend. It said that you never really liked me in the first place." He said all this without any emotion, staring at a spot on the table. "I didn't want to break up with you, but I didn't have much choice."
"But..." I interrupted. Boris held up his hand, and I fell silent.
"But yesterday I was walking home and I passed Lana and her friends. I heard her talking about an email she'd sent to break up Lilly Moscovitz's relationship because she couldn't seem to make Mia's life more miserable than it was already, so she had to get back at her somehow for the thing with her and Josh. When I realised what an idiot I'd been, I didn't think you'd want me back." He looked up at me. "Do you?"
"You idiot", I smiled at him, and pulled him to his feet. "Of course I want you back." And with that I kissed him.
Woohoo! Finito! A soppy ending, which wasn't what I planned, but hey, there you go. Thanks to all the people who've reviewed me – Fizzie-lizzie, RooneyRockz (I dunno about Rooney, but you certainly rock), loveslover14, aphi72, Angel, micarmine05, jess, and Annamillion – You all rule!

Heeeeey!!!! You forgot about me reviewing! This is a "hi" from the behind the scenes person who made her keep writing!! I poked her repeatedly in the head until she carried on grins sheepishly
