Chapter 13: The Old Lilly
"Hey," Oliver greeted, walking in the house.
"Hey," I smiled. I was sitting on the couch in the family room. He came and sat next to me.
"So, you wanna do homework?"
"No," I laughed.
"Good, me neither." he laughed throwing his backpack on the ground and putting his feet up on the table.
"I don't feel like going to school tomorrow."
"Me neither," he agreed again.
"My mom said I don't have to if I'm not up to it."
"I still have to."
"Not if you 'accidentally' over sleep." I smiled, making him grin too.
"Good plan." he said, getting up. "Now let's go chug some mountain dews."
"Sweet!" I got up and we went into the kitchen. We had a chugging contest, and he won. Then we had a burping contest…he won again. We also ate lots of M&Ms…and some more sodas. It was really fun.
At 10:00, Oliver's parents got home. They stopped by, assuming that he was at my house. My parents explained everything to them, and they let him spend the night here with me. He doesn't have to go to school tomorrow either.
At 11:00, my mom made us move to the basement 'cause we were making too much noise and laughing too loud. We were both on a massive sugar high, so what did she expect? We were bouncing on the couches, and literally bouncing off the walls. It was so much fun. We played DDR for an hour, and made up our own games to entertain ourselves after that. We watched a bunch of movies and TV shows. It really was a great night.
At 4:00 a.m., we began to calm down. We lay down on the rug on our backs, his legs facing one wall, my legs facing the other, and our heads side by side. "Hey, Oliver?" I asked, turning my head towards his.
"Yeah?" he asked, turning his face towards me. I laughed, because his face was upside-down in my eyes. He smiled.
"Did you mean it before in the hospital…ya know when you said I was…well…perfect?" This is the question that had been on my mind since he said we were just friends.
"Yeah, Lil. I did mean it." He sat up and faced me, and I did the same. "I mean, I don't understand how you don't see yourself like everyone else does. And I especially didn't like the 'new and improved' Lilly. I liked it when you didn't care what anyone thought of you. That's the Lilly I've known my whole life."
I nodded. "I liked it better too, trust me."
"So, from now on it's just gonna be the old Lilly, right?"
"Yes, definitely."
"Good," he smiled.
"I think I'm ready for bed, how bout you?"
He yawned.
"I'll take that as a yes." I laughed. We each got on a couch and tried to fall asleep, but it just wasn't working. "Oliver, are you as uncomfortable as I am?"
"Yes!" Oliver groaned, getting up.
"Let's get the blow-up mattresses," I suggested and he agreed. We opened the closet and he grabbed the mattresses, and I grabbed the pump. We blew up the first double mattress with no problem, but the second one, which was a single, had a hole in it.
"Uh-oh." he said. "Now this is a dilemma." Of course the mattress was big enough for both of us, Miley and I slept on it all the time. But he wasn't Miley, and it would just be weird. Last night was different…I needed him to be with me.
"Umm…you can have the mattress."
"No way, you take it."
"No, Oliver, you're the guest."
"But it's your house."
"I'm not taking it," I lay on the couch.
"Neither am I." he lay back down on his couch. We lay in silence for about 10 minutes when Oliver spoke up. "This is stupid. One of us needs to take that perfectly good mattress, and it's not gonna be me."
"Then I guess neither of us will take it, 'cause it won't be me either." Both of us stared at the mattress in the dark. "Ok," I stood up. "I have a solution."
"What is it?" he asked, sitting up.
"Ok, umm…we can both take the mattress, but we'll just sleep as far away from each other as possible. Ok?"
He looked around nervously. "Ok." So we each got on opposite side of the mattress, with our own blankets. But since the mattress wasn't fully blown up, I kept accidentally sliding towards the middle of the mattress, and so did he. Finally, I just grabbed the side of it and forced myself to stay put. I fell asleep after a while, and I'm assuming Oliver was asleep too.
I woke up in the middle of the night because I was freezing, so I stole one of Oliver's blankets. He caught me though, because he was a really light sleeper.
"Lilly!" he grabbed the blanket from me.
"Oliver, I'm freezing!"
"So am I!"
"Well we don't have anymore blankets."
"Great." he groaned. "Can we share the blankets then?"
"They won't reach."
"Then let's move closer 'cause I can't stand being cold."
"Good idea." I agreed and we moved closer, sharing the blankets.
I woke up once more while it was still dark out. But this time, my arm was around Oliver's stomach and my head was on his shoulder. One of his hands was resting on top of the hand of mine that was around him. His other arm was around my shoulder. Since I was extremely comfortable and I didn't want to wake him, I didn't move from that position and immediately fell back asleep.
