Chapter 4: 24 Hours Till Midnight
When Miley got home that night , she wasn't looking at the two people kissing on her couch. Or, for that matter, anything above the floor. She threw her purse on the floor and stormed upstairs to her room, ready to cry.
Lilly heard her feet pounding the stairs. She broke apart from Jackson suddenly, leapt off the couch and started towards the stairs.
"Look, I gotta go see what's up. I'll see you later." She whispered to Jackson. He nodded and went into the kitchen.
When Lilly came into Miley's room, she was banging a soft cover book against her forehead.
"What's wrong, Miley?" Lilly asked, closing the door behind her. "What did Oliver say?"
"Nothing. That's right, nothing. I thought he was about to tell me that he liked me, but I guess that I was wrong! he just wanted to talk about school. See, Lilly? I was right. I'll never be Rose...because I have no Jack." Miley sighed and fell forward onto her bed, sobbing.
"No, Miley! You are so wrong! Oliver likes you, I can feel it in my bones," Lilly laughed in her head for a moment, because she knew it for a fact, and went on, " Look, just...just give it 24 hours. If Oliver doesn't tell you he loves you before," Lilly looked at her watch to see the time, " midnight tomorrow, then you can give up on him, if that's what you think you should do. Just promise you'll give him one more chance."
"Fine, Lilly. I'll give it 24 hours, if that'll make you happy. But you have to tell Jackson you like him, too, or I won't do it." Miley said.
"That's taken care of!" Lilly laughed with a sly grin on her face.
"WHAT?" Miley asked, forgetting Oliver for a moment.
"Sit down...this will take a while." Lilly said, as she began to cheer up Miley with the night's events.
