Chapter Six: I Love You Too

A/N: This is my last chapter. Thanks for all the reviews guys. I really appreciate it. It's great how y'all thought I did so well on my first story. Don't worry, I will write more but it will be harder with school coming up soon. 7th grade is big. Lots of homework. So... here's the chapter.

Oliver entered his bedroom with a smile on his face. He had just gotten home from his prom and had had the best time of his life. Of course he had to write about it! So he pulled his journal out from under his mattress. Still with a huge smile he picked up a pencil and began writing...

Dear Miles,

How are you? I'm FANTASTIC. I could not be happier. I had the BEST day of my life today! I shall write about it all in flashback form.

FLASHBACK DAY

Lilly and I rode in a car together all the way to Miley's house. It was probably the longest ride I've ever been on. I know it really wasn't, I have been to Miley's house before, but Lilly was REALLY hyper. REALLY REALLY REALLY hyper. Her mom (who was chaperoning) wasn't much help either. They both just chatted away, not noticing how much I really didn't care about how their hair looked or how cute Lilly looked and what a lucky guy Jackson was and that I was lucky to be going with Miley because she's a really nice girl. (Notice how I got absolutely NO complements by the fashion girls...) I just kinda nodded my head every once and a while. My date was really the only thing on my mind. Oh and I also thought about how I might puke but... that's beside the point. I had no second thoughts about going to the prom with Miley (but I can't say the same about throwing up. I had MANY thoughts about that...).

Anyway, when we finally reached Miley's house I was so relieved to get a break from Lilly and her mom I practically leaped out of Lilly's parent's van. (Miley would be providing the limo. She, of course, had Hannah's and we figured that would do.) The minute I stepped out of the green van, my palms began sweating. I wiped them on my black pants and walked up the front porch to Miley's house. I pressed the gold doorbell and waited for an answer. I could NOT believe that I was actually going to go through with this.

"One second!" I heard a voice call. I'm pretty sure it was Miley's. (Well, I hope it was Miley's. It was a female sounding voice and she's the only girl in that house. So.. it better have been her.)

Slowly, Miley's front door opened. There she stood. I couldn't explain if I tried how beautiful she looked. She was wearing a pink dress that flares out at the bottom and a white top with pink flowers. (A/N: At the bottom of this page I will post this dress.) I couldn't help but just stand there and stare at her. What can I say? I've never seen a girl like this. All dressed up in a gorgeous dress. So sue me.

Miley smiled. "Come on Oliver. Before my dad sees you like this." She snapped her fingers in front of my face. I just nodded and showed her her corsage. "Here," I said with a smile. I wasn't really sure what to do until she held out her arm. She curled her hand into a fist and allowed me to tie the mini white flower bouquet to her wrist. She blushed slightly and smiled. I removed my hands and she pinned a similar looking white flower to my tuxedo. I smiled up at her.

"Come in," she said. She took my hand and pulled me inside. We both didn't notice Lilly and her mom until Miley turned around to see Lilly standing on her porch.

"Oh Lilly! I didn't see you!" she said. She let go of my hand and ran over to her best friend. Lilly smiled. They hugged each other and Miley whispered something to Lilly which caused Lily to let out a small giggle. These are the times I wish I could read minds... Or at least lips. So anyway, the Miley said,

"Jackson is up in his room. He should be down soon." Miley pulled Lilly inside and waved her mom in also. Lilly's mom, who's name I keep forgetting to mention (It's Lauren), smiled and stepped inside. I don't think it was necessary to mention that she was smiling. She had been smiling ever since her and Lilly came to pick me up. I think it's a little freaky. But that's just me. Anyway... Jackson then came down the stairs followed by his and Miley's dad. Jackson tied Lilly's lily corsage around her wrist while saying how pretty she looked and blah, blah, blah. That's not really important.

Then Robbie said, "Picture time." and we all groaned. It's not that we didn't like out pictures taken (you should see all the pictures I have of Lilly and I as little kids!) but we were all eager to just get going.

"Yeah, yeah. But the quicker we get this over with, the quicker y'all can leave," he said and we all scurried to get next to each other. Robbie laughed.

"Now that's more like it," he said.

"Wait!" Lauren said and scurried next to Miley's dad. "I want pictures too." We all groaned again. But as soon as cameras started flashing we all put on our best smiles. Once again, I wish I could explain the feeling I got when my arm wrapped around Miley's waist but there really are no words to describe it. The best way I can think of is, imagine 100 butterflies, no. Maybe not butterflies. More like bats. Yes. Imagine 100 bats. Now imagine them all in your stomach. That is exactly what it felt like. But I guess it was a good feeling. It sure was a good position.

'Okay. All done. Thanks for your cooperation," Lauren said.

"Now let's all get in the limo!" Robbie said smiling. We all raced like a wild herd of buffaloes out the door and to the limo. Not once did I remove my hand from Miley's waist until she kinda coughed and I let go. I don't even think I realized my arm was there the whole time. It just felt natural. We slid into the limo. First Miley, then me, followed by Lilly and last, Jackson. Lauren offered to take her own car but Robbie insisted that she could sit i the passengers side and he could drive. I could sense some definite sparks between those two. I'm not sure Lilly and Jackson would be too happy about that...

When we finally got to the school, Robbie opened the door on Miley's side and Lauren opened it on Jackson's side. We all climbed out of the sleek black limo and smoothed out our clothes. This time I let Miley make the first move. She put her arm around me and I wrapped my arm around her. We both smiled at each other and everyone headed for the gym.

I must admit, for a gym, the prom committee dressed it up pretty nicely. There was a DJ booth set up in the far right hand corner which was playing an old Simple Plan song and there was dark blue streamers hanging from the basketball hoops everywhere. It looked really cool. There was a disco ball right in the middle of the ceiling. It just kept spinning and flashing bright lights everywhere. Robbie Ray and Lauren left us 4 alone. Jackson said something to Lilly about getting a drink. Lilly nodded and they headed over to the punch table which was in the corner opposite the DJ. It was basically just a small card table holding a bowl of punch and a platter of cookies already half gone. I guess most people get rid of their nerves by eating. There were only about 3 other couples there. We had gotten there pretty early.

"May I have this dance?" I asked Miley, bowing.

"I'd be delighted," she said. She curtsied and giggled. I led her out to the dance floor. We danced like complete maniacs until more people started arriving. Then we stopped and walked over to the little "punch table" and got ourselves something to drink. I must say, dancing wildly for 3 songs can make you pretty thirsty! We just stood there talking about... stuff while we drank our punch.

Soon, a slow song blasted through the speakers. It was hard to recognize at first.

But then Miley whispered, "It's our song." and I recognized it immediately. It was, in fact, Butterflies Don't Lie. We had declared it "Our Song" after Miley gave me the CD with that song on it. We had decided that we needed a song for us. It was the first song on the CD and we agreed it was both of our favorites.

"We have to dance," I whispered to her and pulled her on the dance floor. I didn't have to pull that fast. In fact, I barely had to pull at all. She was just as happy as I was to dance together. I wrapped my arms around her waist very gently and she placed her arms on my shoulders. I smiled as she placed her head on my shoulder and we moved closer together. I glanced over her shoulder and I saw Lilly and Jackson dancing the same way. I sighed and blew a strand of Miley's hair away from my mouth. I took a deep breath and said the words that I had been wanting to say ever since we had gotten to the prom. I knew that this night would be the night I told Miley the 3 magic words I've always wanted to say to her. I tipped my head so my mouth was to her ear.

"Miley, I think I... I love you," I said and took a deep breath. I picked my head back up and let out my breath.

"Oliver, I know I love you," Miley said and I realized my life was complete. My best friend loved me and I loved her back. I smiled brightly and Miley picked her head up. She was smiling also. We both leaned in at the same time and kissed lightly on the lips. I definitely felt some sparks.

"Wow," we said at the same time. We just looked into each other's eyes and breathed deeply.

END FLASHBACK

Well, that was how my very first prom went. Pretty excellent if you ask me. After that we just kept dancing the night away and were brought home by Miley's dad and Lilly's mom. I still could tell there was something going on between them. They had been talking all night and on the ride home they talked some more. It was sweet. Well, it's getting late. I better get to bed before my mom realizes I'm still up. Goodnight journal. Goodnight forever.

The guy who really truly is in love,

Oliver Oken
