Lillys POV
Eeep! My date is today and I'm so happy. I've been like wanting to go out with Tyler for so long because he's so cute! I get on my bed and start jumping."
"Why Miss. Lilly would you like to go out side for a second?"
"Why yes Mr. Tyler I would love that."
"Miss. Lilly may I have a kiss?"
"Why of course Mr. Tyler, you may!" I jump off my bed and start to happy dance.
"Lillian Truscott what on earth are you doing up there!" I hear my mom yell from down stairs. I immediately stop.
"Sorry mom!" I call back and start smiling. I'm so happy for this.
--
Why won't he call me? I mean I know he told m e he wanted to go out today but he never said what time and where. I guess I'll just call him. I pick up my phone and dial his number.
"What the hell do you want?" I hear a rude voice answer. Did I dial the wrong number or something?
"Tyler?" I ask looking at my phone.
"Lilly? Um hi." his tone completely changes. I, still being confused wait a little bit.
"Did I interrupt you or something?" This is not the Tyler I know.
"Oh uh well my little brother was just annoying me so,"
"I thought you were an only child?" I ask before he can finish. He pauses a bit.
"I mean uh cousin. You know were so close sometimes I forget he's not my actually brother." he sounds a bit shaky but I let it roll off my back. Maybe he's just cranky for some reason.
"Ok. Well I just wanted to know when you're going to pick me up for our thing. Did you forget or something?" I ask with a hint of curiosity.
"Lilly, how could I forget? A date with a beautiful girl can never get forgotten." that's so cute! But it sounds not forced but like feeling less. Whatever I'm just being to picky. "I'll pick you up at 8 to go see a movie ok?"
"Sounds great." Sweetness on rye! The movies, awesome first date choice.
"Yep." he blankly says. Ok this is awkward. We aren't really talking.
"So I how was"
"I'm gonna go Lilly. Bye." he quickly says and hangs up. Maybe this date is making him nervous or something. But he's gone out before with girls prettier then me. Oh whatever. I'm going to get ready. I take a shower, get changed, do my hair and fall onto my bed. I feel like something's like missing. I sniff my armpit, nope. It's not that. I need this date. I'm so out of it today.
I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be the-
"Talk to me Jakerz." I say standing up.
"Lilly! You will NEVER believe this!" Jake yells into his phone. My life always has surprises so if he's looking for me to go "What what!!" he's got the wrong number.
"I'd help to know what I can't believe." I say calmly into the phone.
"Neffy and my sister are both in town!" Wholly snippers! I haven't seen them in years!
"You mean Neffy as in scrumdiddlyumptious Schmeff?" I say way to fast into the phone.
"What?"
"I mean Oliver's Neffy?"
"Oh. Yea and my sister Gabby." he groans a bit. His sister is just like how he used to be. And I don't particularly like her either.
"Way to put a downer on the whole Neffy thing." I laugh a tiny bit. "But I can't believe it! He's here. Oh we are gonna do some fun stuff to Oliver. Break out the caramel an make ourself a sundae with Oliver's chocolate hair!" I laugh evily.
"Well both of them are only staying for tonight. They're leaving tomorrow." No fricken way. This bites.
"Dude that sucks! Erg, I'll just hang with Neffy tommarow I guess until he has to go."
"What are you doing tonight?" Oh, I never told him.
"Date." I say briefly.
"With who?"
"Tyler."
"Ohh. Be safe. Call me if you need anything. ANYTHING. You hear that?" he says sternly.
"Yes dad." I reply rolling my eyes. I love him.
"Good girl." he laughs "Well I gotta hang with the Neffsta and Gabby. Laters."
"Bye Jakerz." With that I hung up my phone and did what any excited girl waiting for a date would do. I took a nap.
--
"Lillllllly."
"Lillllllllllly."
"Do you want me to tell your little friend to go away and that you suck your thumb and that you love to clip your toe nails and that you rub pudding g all over you and that" I finally wake up and scream.
"TREVOR!" I run down the steps nearly falling over and latch onto his back and throw him onto the ground. I get off him and smile at Tyler.
"Hi." he smiles his cute smile. I try to smile back with out blushing.
"Hi. Um lets go before my brother starts telling more lies." I grab Tyler's arm and yank him out the door before another word could be said. I really couldn't have been more humiliated but I had to get out of there. My brother shall die tonight.
"I'm sorry if my brother talked to you before I woke up about like how you shouldn't try to pull things and all that." I knew he must have said something like that.
"Actually he said to show you a good time and use protection." he said kinda softly. Death by strangling will be his down fall!!
"Oh my gosh." I look away. I hate my brother. Tyler puts his arm around me.
"Don't worry about it. After he said that he told me if I really did do that then I won't have a face left." he showed me a smile to try and make it seem that he thought my brother wasn't completely insane.
"Thanks for trying." I smile back and relax a bit. "So were are we going for our lovely date?" I try to get off the subject.
"Well I thought we could go see a movie."
"Awesome. I always go to the movies with Oliver." I laugh. "It's like my third home."
"Lemme guess, Oliver's is your second?" he remarked with a mean tone. What is his problem? He has these flashes where he's really mean then when I say something to him he goes back to normal. Like he's trying to hide something. I decided to stay quiet until we got to the theater. We walk up to the ticket people. I look up and see a lanky red haired girl yelling at the 2 ticket people. One I see is Todd and the other Miley.
"Um can we have two for… The Dark Knight?" I ask making the red haired shrew shut up. Todd and Miley smile as a thanks. Mile hands me two tickets and I give her the money.
"Thank you and we hope you enjoy the movie." Miley smiles. I decide to make there day today.
"No, thank you for such great service and how pretty you look." I look at Todd. "And how handsome you look too." I pause and look at red. "You might want to improve on your work. With these two here you're not gonna be manager for too long." I wink at the two before Tyler grabs my hand and yanks us into the theater.
"What was that about?" his blonde hair falls into his eyes as he asks. I reach forward to push it out and he grabs my hand and puts it on his chest. I blush like crazy and he smiles. "Never mind, lets just get our snacks." We walk up to the snack counter.
"Um can I have two small popcorns and slushies. And we don't want the regular blue, we want the dare to be different red." he pokes my arm.
"Um, I don't want that." he says quietly. Oops.
"Oh I'm sorry it's just Oliver and I always get that and-" he put a finger on my mouth, as a way to shut me up.
"Actually I'll just have nachos." he smiles at the register girl. People actually get those here? Once we get our stuff we walk and get our seats and we sit.
--
Erg I shouldn't have drank all that slushy at once because now I have to pee like a race horse! I try to whisper to him that I have to pee but he keeps ignoring me so I decided to get up and leave. Once I'm out of the theatre I run to the rest room to do what I gotta do. As I walk out I bump into a an Axe smelling guy with natural blonde hair but has enough nerve to only die his roots brown. I immediately know who it is.
"Neffy!" I yell with a huge smile on my face. He shakes his head and squints at me, taking more time to recognize me because he was never the brightest crayon in the box.
"Oh Lilly!" he finally realizes, taking his muscled arms and crushing me to his chest. I smirk at all the girls walking by with faces full of envy. He finally lets me go, showing his goofy grin.
"It's been so long, how are you? Did you find yourself a girl yet?" I wiggle my eyebrows at him.
"It's been good and sorta." he looks left the right. "If I tell you, you have to swear not to tell Jake."
"Ok, I'll keep a secret from my best friend." I say sarcastically.
"Really? Thanks Schmilly." See what I told you about the whole 'crayon in the box' thing? I roll my eyes and gesture for him to continue.
"Well I kind of have a thing for Gabby." his pleading blue eyes beg for me not to scratch his face out. Why did he have to pick her? He could get any girl he wanted and he picks her! He is so not a bright crayon!!
"Well um that's very… good for you." I nod my head, he looks away. "Hey, she wouldn't be my first pick but if she makes you happy then I'm happy for you." he still looks away. "Schmeffy." he shows his signature grin and tackles me and holds me up in the air.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" he shakes me form side to side and sets me down. He grabs my arm. "I have to show Gabby you're here." Oh no! Why now? Why while Tyler's waiting for me to come back. He probably thinks I'm constipated now!
"That's nice but I should get back to my da-" but I'm immediately being dragged by the muscular Neffy against my own will to who knows where. He's a nice guy honestly but I just wish he weren't so strong. As I'm being dragged on a carpet that's probably stained for life with butter and salt and watching the little kids play the arcade games I start to wonder why people always complain about having a boring life and yet sometimes I wish I had one! Suddenly he yanks my arm up so I'm now standing. I see a bratty looking girl with Jake's eyes. Gabby was pretty, but not when her face was stuck in the disgusted position.
"Look who I found!" Neffy puts his arm around me, smushing my ear to his armpit.
"Hi." I manage to mumble. She just rolls her eyes at me.
"Jake's trying to carry all the popcorn and sodas." she glares at me. "Why don't you go help him." I take this as an opportunity to get away from he giant teddy bear an sprint away. Before I know it I run head first onto Jake. He catches the sodas as I fall onto my butt and grab the popcorn.
"Lilly you have to look where you're going before you just start to run!" he offers me a hand. I really need to get back to Tyler.
"YeaIknowbutIreallyneedtogetbacktoTyler." I say as if it were all one word.
"Could you at least help me before you go making out with your date?" I nod and grab his arm and we sprint to the movies.
"Your date?" I hear a confused voice ask. I whip around spill all of the contents of the large popcorn bucket. Oh no. I knew I had forgotten something.
"Oliver I was gonna-"
"Your date?" he asks again, this time wanting an answer. I look at my feet.
"Tyler." I mumble. "I was gonna tell you but-"
"But you didn't." his eyes saddened. "You said we were gonna be real with each other because were friends." I feel my throat tighten.
"I'm sorry." I try to breathe correctly. "It's just when we were just together I didn't think about him." I see Oliver's angered eyes soften just a bit before hearing a dreaded sound.
"What?" Why do people have to have bad timing? I see Tyler stop in his tracks. "You forgot about me? And our date?"
"Yea but only because-" No one was letting me have my say.
"Only because you like him." he rolls his eyes in a pissed off way. "You know I ignored your weird family," ouch. "And your weird bladder issues." ouch. "But I can't ignore your crush on someone else and forgetting me." he glares at me. "Later, freak." triple ouch. I finally am reduced to nothing but tears. I run out of the theatre, wanting to get away from all this.
--
"Lilzer?" I hear a soft manly voice talk. I quickly try to wipe away my tears quickly before he came in. I watch as he opens the door with a forced smile.
"Trevor?" I ask right back. I was still a little mad at him, but that was before. He slowly walks in the room with his hand on the back of his neck and avoiding my eyes.
"Um what's up? You seem a little down." Me? Down? Wouldn't think of it 'cause you know crying immensely means I'm just chipper. I look up at him and notice how awkward and guilty he looks.
"Well I kinda got in an argument with someone." I try to leave it as vague as possible for his sake of things getting awkward. He nodded and sat on my bed.
"Must have been someone important to make you cry as hard as you did." As brother and sister we will always have some kind of connection. And they always have those moments were they just let go and right now was one of those moments.
"So now that we've covered my problem, what's yours?" he looks at me "You keep looking sad and guilty. Why, what's wrong?" he immediately gets off my bed and walks to his room and comes back with a suitcase…
"I have horrible timing but I already made the plans and" he looks away. "I'm leaving." he refuses to look me in the eye.
"Y-you mean f-for a week?" I feel a little faint at the moment.
"No I'm not leaving for a week, or a month or even a year. I'm leaving for good Lilly." he walks toward me as I sit on my bed. "I didn't want to tell you because I thought you would tell mom and dad. I'm going with my friends tonight and I'm getting a new phone so mom can't make me come back by tracking me. So you won't be able to see or talk to me for a while." he finishes sitting on the bed with me. Why now? Why on the worst day? Just why? My eyes glaze over with new tears.
"Trev!" I sniffle and hug him.
"I'm sorry about the timing Lilzer." he says still hugging me.
"Why do you have to leave? You could have worked things out with-"
"No Lilly! We got in a huge fight tonight. He said he didn't care if I left. He doesn't care. I have to go. I'm sorry." I settle down a bit and we sit down on my bed again. I mean sure we weren't the closest siblings but we did love each other.
"Trev you're my only brother I'm ever gonna have." I croak as he gets up. He walks over to his suitcase.
"That reminds me. I want to tell you some stuff before I leave." I erg for him to go on. "First off even when I'm gone you'll always have a great friend who can double as a brother." I tilt my head and think. One?
"What about Jake?" I ask slightly confused.
"That's who I meant." he continues before I can say anything. "Last off I want to tell you that there are great guys out there and you should pick the one that loves you for you and knows who you are." he picks up his luggage as he hears a car horn beep. "Bye Lilzer, I'll always love you." and with that he walks out the door and I hear the front door close. I run to the window and watch the car drive off into the night. I immediately pick up my phone and press 3. I pace my floor with my tears still falling a bit.
"Hey-lo." I hear his voice. I start to feel a bit better.
"Jakerz I need to come hear now." I try to speak clearly.
"Lilly I'm coming right over. Do you need anything?" he switches to concerned friend almost instantly.
"Could you get Oliver to come with you? He kinda doesn't want to talk to me but I need him." I start to sound a little more upset thinking of him.
"Ok I'll be over ASAP." with that he hung up and I fell into my bed.
--
I hear the door slam and the thumping of feet up my stairs. In walks Jake with a paper bag. He kneels at the ground and gives me the bag. I open it to see some Ben and Jerry's, two spoons, aspirin, a pack of Dr.Pepper and pop tarts. He knew me all too well.
"Your awesome." I bend down and give him a needed hug. Jake defiantly would be my replacement brother.
"What happened?" Oh my gosh, what didn't happen would be easier.
"Well.." I tell him the whole story and by the end I'm crying again.
"He called you a freak? I'll kick his ass tomorrow." I try to smile for Jake's sake but the fact tat Tyler called me a freak wasn't why I was crying. The fact that I lost my brother and Oliver was!
"Where's Oliver? Did you get him? He probably hates me." I throw my face down into the pillow. Jake puts a reassuring hand on my back. He puts his face near my ear.
"He's in the hallway. He heard what you said. He's been here but he wants to talk to you." he gets up and leave me alone in my room. As much as I wanted to yell "Stay!" I knew I had to talk to Oliver alone. I sit on my bed, puffy eyed, waiting for him to come in and tell me he wants nothing to do with me. Why would he want a friend that lies to him? What kind of friend is that? A sucky one, I'll tell ya. I finally see him walk in with his hands in his pockets.
"You wanted to talk?" I look up at him as soon as he speaks.
"Yes."
"What's there to talk about?" he snorts. "You lied to me said you wouldn't than sneak around and don't tell me you have a date." he runs his hand through his hair.
"Like you care." I mutter. He glares at me, hard. I wince.
"You seriously don't think I care?" he yells.
"No, I think you do it's just, I don't think you care about who I date." I rub my already red eyes, probably making me even uglier.
"You don't even know." he mumbles. I open my mouth in shock.
"You don't think I know you? I know everything about you! I know you more than you do!" I shout in a raspy voice.
"I know you better that you know me! I know every freakin detail about you!" he shouts back at me.
"Well the only thing I don't know about you is why you don't care about my dating!"
"I DO CARE!" the loudness of his voice makes me jump. "Ok I do care! I care about who the guy is, what he likes about, his past relation ships, how he treats you, when he calls you, how much he talk to you! I CARE Lils!" with that he finally storms out the door. No. I'm not letting my best friend from forever leave. I'm not losing him. I jump out of my bed and race after him. Right before he gets to the door I tackle him onto the floor.
"No!" I sit on top of his flat stomach. "You're not going anywhere."
"Lils,"
"No! I love you, okay? You don't let someone you love walk out. Now finish what you were saying." he looks away.
"How could you think that I don't care about everything you do?" his eyes look full of hurt, not anger.
"How could you think that I don't tell you things on purpose? How could you think I would sneak out behind your back?" were silent for a while.
"I'm sorry." we both say at the same time.
"No I am." we say together again.
"Were both sorry." I smile for the first time all night. He gives his signature goofy grin back.
"So the reason you never told me about Tyler was because you forgot?" he questions, slightly crinkling his brows. Ah snap! I totally freaked out and yelled that. Now what?
"Well um, we were so happy it just kinda…"
"Didn't matter?" he says as more of a statement. I blush, realizing that that was the truth. I nod. "Lils," he puts his hand on my chin and directs it toward his face. "We've loved each other since forever and frankly, I don't think I could live without my daily douse of Lilly." he smiles. "Can we just try something?" he pulls me closer to him. I shiver. He wants us to kiss! No no no no no no! Our friend ship, everything no I can't lose it.
"Oliver I can't lose it." I feels my eyes sting. "Us being friends, everything. I can't lose it. For the world." I feel the tears coming "Ordinary Lilly can't handle it. I can't do it." I try to breathe steadily, clutching his hand that's on my chin. He pulls me down so that I'm now laying on him. I try to struggle against it but his arm wraps around me.
"I won't make you Lils." he whispers. "I just need to be near you." at that moment I look into his eyes, my breath raspy like my voice. His lips right in front of mine. His hand holding me close to him. Finally I decide something that I'll never forget.
"I love you. As in I really do love you. More than anything." I rub his cheek. And with that he comes up as I bend down and we kiss. I feel like I'm floating, like if I don't hold on to Oliver I'll float away so I wrap my arms around his neck. And we stay there for as long as humanly possible. It was then that I realized Oliver was right. I wasn't just some ordinary girl I always thought I was. I had great friends and even greater best friends, sure my life wasn't perfect but I was surrounded by people that loved me. And that was no ordinary thing.
Um I thinking I may do one last chapter or an epilogue.. Either or this isn't the end!!
Peace out cub scout… n I LUVLES U GUYZZZZ!
