AN: Honestly, I really tried to leave this as a one-shot but it kept calling at me. Telling me it wasn't finished yet, and I tried to shush it but then it said something to me. It said I had to write it. I had to write it for one person in general: my best friend, Caitlin. And she's probably looking at this in her inbox and thinking I must indeed be put on some medication for sending it to her, which is why I love her so much. And because I love her, she needs to be with Sean. I know she's all Harry/Hermione but sidekicks are supposed to be with other sidekicks, babe. Partly because I'm never going to end up with Sean, ick. And partly because, well, she's already fallen from him and neglected to notice. Now I'm sorry if I make her cry, okay? I need her to read this though.
Part Two
We're just sitting on the floor, innocently eating ice cream. I mean, yes, my mother doesn't really like for us to substitute it for dinner but she's working late. So we do it anyways. Lilly's clicking through the channels quick like always, and man, is it annoying. I mean I can barely see what's on before, CLICK, it's gone again. Lilly watches TV likes she reads though, ungodly fast. So just as she's about to click it past Nickelodeon I grab the remote, because it's seven-thirty on a Saturday night and I know Spongebob's on. And it's a good episode of it too. The one where Mr. Krab's shoots a commercial at the Krusty Krab and Spongebob thinks he's famous.
Lilly doesn't think so. "God, what are you five?" I choose to ignore that comment and listen to Spongebob sing.
"The best time to where a striped sweater, is all the time!" I giggle and look at Lilly, I like her to join in my amusement at stupid things. She looks angry, but I think she's laughing on the inside.
Now she's getting up and going into the kitchen, she's rinsing out her bowl. Couldn't she do mine too? Pssh, selfish much. Oh god, that noise. Crap, if I get up she'll take me remote and I'll end up watching yet another episode of the Real World. And since the Collie/Alex/Jen love triangle from Denver I haven't really enjoyed it. Those are names I shouldn't know, aren't they? This is what I get for being severely lacking in guy friends. God, she just has to keep running that water! How long does it take to rinse a dish out?
Ooo, I've got a solution. I grab the remote and sprint towards the bathroom. "Oliver!" I hear her yell after me. "You can't take the remote in there, you cheater!" He, he, I enjoy winning. So I take care of things and go back out because even there's a good chance of her jumping me, I've learned you have to face these things at some point. And if she does jump on top of me, I might actually enjoy it a little. Okay, a lot. Alright, way too freaking much to be healthy for a best friend.
So I eagerly walk out of the bathroom and am disappointed to find her sitting in front of the TV watching Nickelodeon, not jumping on me or anything. And I wasted so much energy trying to anger her. She's watching iCarly, and I haven't seen this one before. She moves to change it when she sees me she tries to change it.
"Wait," I say, barely realizing I'm talking. I'm mesmerized somehow by the scene before me. Sam's telling everyone Freddie's never kissed a girl. Lilly's looking at the ground. "Let's watch this," I mumbled, sitting down on the rug next to her.
"Let's not," She squirms in her place and scoots away from me a little bit.
"Why not?" I mutter, still staring at the screen. "You love iCarly, last week you said Sam was like your twin."
"I was exaggerating because Miley loves Carly so much," She whispers, and I know she's lying because her nostrils flare.
"Okay, Lils," I snort and keep watching. After all, I've got the remote. It's actually a great episode, Carly ends up yelling at Sam for making Freddie's life miserable. And then Sam tells everyone she's never kissed anyone.
"So if you want to make fun of someone, make fun of me. Which isn't a good idea unless you live near a hospital," She threatens.
"Oliver, change it, I don't want to watch this," Lilly demands suddenly and reaches for the remote. I immediately jerk it away, Sam's going to talk to Freddie. "Oliver, I'm serious. I don't want you to watch this." She lunges for the remote.
I stand up, holding it over her head. The TV forgotten for a moment. "Why don't you want me to?"
"I meant us, me really. It has nothing to do with you." And there her nostrils go again, flare, flare, flaring away.
"Why Lilly?" I ask again, glaring at her.
"I don't know, I just don't feel like it." She tries to grab the remoter from me, and I twirl, catching sight of the TV again. Oh my god, they're kissing. I stop and stand still. Sam is kissing Freddie, or Freddie is kissing Sam. I don't know, Lilly made me miss that part. They're just pulling away now-
It's gone! What the hell just happened? Oh wait, I know what happened. Lilly happened, considering I'm not holding the remote anymore and she is. "I told you I didn't want to see that," She hisses at me.
"You didn't want to or you didn't want me too?" I ask angrily.
"Does it matter?" She yells, turning off the TV altogether.
"Why didn't you want me too?" I ask quietly.
"It wasn't you." She lies.
"Yes it was, Lillypie, I can see it, I'm not stupid."
"There's a billboard near Rico's that proclaims otherwise." She snorts, and picks at her nails.
Jesus christ, what does she have against me watching Sam and Freddie kiss? I mean, yeah, Sam's kind of mean sometimes and she never gives Freddie a break. She's pretty though, and she compliments him perfectly. All that bickering gives them chemistry doesn't it? Fighting is like their foreplay. They're kind of like- "Oh."
"No, Oliver," She shakes her head, "I know that look. And no. Just no, no, no."
I'm going to spew out something about her not knowing my looks. "Why not?" I say instead, and she freezes.
"W-w-what?" She croaks out after a minute.
I can barely find my voice. "W…why not?" I ask, and she looks up at me wide-eyed.
"I…I…" I don't know, just say it Lilly. Come on, just do it. "I've got to go," She mumbles and runs.
AN: Huh, this part wasn't supposed to happen but I think it actually adds to the story, what do you think?
