Too Close For Comfort
Oliver looked a little disappointed that I was leaving, but that was too bad for him because I just know he'll like Lilly if he talks with her more. Lilly looked happy and was obviously waiting for some time alone to talk with Oliver. I walked off the beach and headed for home quickly.
When I got home I helped my Dad with dinner. He had told Jackson all about the trip. Jackson didn't like the part about doing homework everyday either, but he was still fine with free time on the weekends.
Just before I went to be I decided to call Lilly. I'm sure she's home by now. And she better tell me everything that happened. That is if anything happened. I called her, she answered.
"Hey Miley, what's up?"
"What's up with me? Don't you mean what's up with you? You know I left early on purpose don't you?"
"Of course, thanks. But Oliver was kind of quiet for a few minutes after you left, kind of odd huh? I mean I thought he would want to talk right away."
"Uh, yeah that doesn't seem like him. That is a little odd." Even though I know the real reason, so it wasn't very strange to me. Gosh I wish he would stop doing this. "So after his um, little quiet thing, what did you talk about?"
"Well I started talking about what we should do on the trip. Like hang back stage during one of your concerts. Unless you want us to watch."
"That's ok; you guys have seen them enough. Just hang backstage together, alone, in my dressing room if you want." I said really quickly, hoping she didn't notice my eagerness for them.
"Yeah sure we might do that" she said slowly and suspiciously. "Anyway we talked some more about the trip on our way home. Then he gave me a quick kiss before I went inside my house."
"Oh, that was sweet. Well that's great that you guys finally got to talk some more. So how was the kiss?"
"Oh I'm fine with short ones like those. At least he's not all over me like before. So besides all the school work, I know this trip will be really fun."
She sounded really excited about having Oliver there. And if he had talked to her that long then he must have gotten to know her more. I sure hope he has fun too.
"Yeah I know it will be. Well it's getting late; I think we should go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow though. Good night Lilly."
"Ok good night Miles" Lilly yawned and hung up.
The next few days went by quick because of preparation for the tour, packing and getting all of our school work. I called Jake and told him that we could come but I wouldn't get to see him much for another two months. He was still excited about it because it's better then nothing.
When the morning of the tour finally came I had almost finishing packing my stuff and Lilly and Oliver still hadn't come yet. I was about to call them when I saw them running up to me almost out of breath because of holding big suitcases in both hands.
"Why did you guys run all the way here?"
"My Mom had to take the car. I said I could walk." Lilly said between breaths.
"Yeah, same here" Oliver said as he dropped the suit cases in front of our car.
"You said you could walk? So why didn't you walk?"
"I don't know, we thought we were going to be late." Lilly said,
"Well yeah that's true, you almost were. But I was about to call you."
"Although we would have been a whole lot faster if somebody didn't have so many bags!" Oliver said glaring at Lilly and then looked over at me. "Guess what? Only one of these is mine." Oh great he sounded pretty frustrated. Hopefully we can change the subject in the car ride.
"Hey I'm a girl Oliver; I wanna wear different shoes and outfits. Plus my skateboard takes up a lot of space."
"Lilly, why don't you just carry your skateboard? And you don't need that many clothes, you can wash them over again. I mean it's not like we're going to a foreign country. Romania will have washers and dryers you know?" He said.
We just looked at him as we each picked up some bags and began walking to the car.
"What?" he was confused by the looks on our faces.
"Still a doughnut." Lilly and I said together as we got into the car.
The plane ride was really long, but fun. Lilly had the window seat and Oliver sat next to her, so I sat next to him. Then my Dad and Jackson sat in the row behind us.
I told Lilly and Oliver what the tour bus would be like inside. Then we played some games for a few hours until it got late.
"Well I think I'm gonna try to sleep for a few hours. Good night you guys." I said and lay back on my seat with a small pillow.
"Good idea, me too. Good night." Lilly said and turned on her side towards the window.
"I'm not tired. I think I'm just gonna listen to some music. Good night." Oliver said
A few hours later I woke up and glanced around while still lying in my seat. I wasn't in the same position as I was when I fell asleep. Now I was resting on Oliver's shoulder. I looked up at him; he was just looking out the window and still listening to his iPod. Looks like he didn't bother to push me off and I know why. I glanced over at Lilly; she was still asleep in the same position. Thank goodness she didn't see this. I was still tired so I slowly lifted my head and turned to Oliver.
"Hey what time is it?" I yawned and stretched a little. I whispered because it looked like lots of other people were asleep, including Dad and Jackson.
"Oh, good morning, it's um just after one in the morning." He said after looking at his watch.
"Look Oliver, I appreciate it and everything, but why didn't you move me off of you?" I whispered.
"Uh, well because you…I-I mean I just…well you just looked peaceful you know? So I didn't want to wake you." He admitted quietly.
"That's sweet, but you know that's not the only reason is it?"
"Ok you're right, but Miley it's like I told you before, I don't feel much when I'm with Lilly. But when I'm with you I-"
"Oliver I-" I looked around me as I began to talk a lot louder, forgetting that everyone else was still asleep. I dropped my voice back down to a whisper. "Oliver I have a boyfriend ok? You can't keep doing this. Do you realize that you're leading Lilly on?" I whispered loudly and hoped I got my point across.
He went silent for a moment as he looked over at Lilly. She was still fast a sleep.
"I know I just…" he paused and looked over at me and into my eyes. "...I just don't know how to tell her." I ignored his gaze and looked away.
"Well you better say something before I do because the longer you keep this up; the more she is going to hurt."
"Alright, alright I'll tell her soon, maybe on the bus or something."
"Thanks Oliver, you know I'm sure she'll be fine." I said as I slowly rubbed his shoulder with one hand, completely unaware. Then Oliver looked at me.
"Um…Miley." He whispered and pointed at my hand on his shoulder.
I realized what I had been doing only after he pointed. Before I had the chance to take it off Oliver did very reluctantly. I knew that he still wanted it there of course. But he took my hand in his and placed it gently back on my lap. What's going on? What am I doing? I can't let this happen. Just after he did this, I quickly un-clipped my seat belt.
"I-I have to use the bathroom real quick. I'll be back in a minute." I said as I got up.
When I was inside the bathroom, I ran my fingers through my hair a few times to give it a quick comb. Now this ride was not going to be very comfortable any more. We only had a few hours left, but I had to get Lilly awake somehow so I wasn't alone with him. I mean what am I thinking?! I know he gave it another chance and there wasn't anything. So now he is leading her on which is why he should tell her. But why me? I cannot be feeling the way I am. Ok, ok I just have to get a grip. This is only because I haven't seen Jake for the past week. Yeah that's it. These feelings should go away as soon as I see him. Which won't be for awhile, but I can make it. When I went back to my seat Lilly was awake and talking to Oliver.
A/N So how do you all like it so far?
