Chapter 2: Hey, Lilly

"Hey, Lilly, can I talk to you?" Miley asked her as we walked to out lockers. It was the last period of the day.

Lilly sighed, already knowing what she would say. She prepared herself. "Sure, what is it?"

"Uh…Well…Jake asked me to go on a date with him tomorrow night, but I know you like him and-"

"Go for it. I don't like him anymore, remember?"

"Lilly, I don't want to hurt you. I will gladly tell him no if you don't want me to."

"Miley, he really likes you, and you really like him. I'm telling you to say yes."

Miley sighed. "Are you positive it won't bother you?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll just hang out with Oliver, it'll be fun." Sweet! Lilly wants to hang out with me! And Miley won't be there! Not that I don't love Miley, but I want some alone time with Lilly.

"Lilly, you are the greatest friend anyone could ask for! Maybe you and Oliver could come with Jake and me?" Miley suggested, which wouldn't bother me at all. That would be a double-date, wouldn't it?

Lilly didn't seem too excited. I don't think she really wanted to see Jake and Miley together. "Nah, it's Ok. You guys have fun." Lilly said. Miley hugged her and went off to find Jake before he left.

"You're a good friend, Lil." I said, putting my arm around her as we walked out of the school.

She sighed. "Thanks. So what do you wanna do tonight?"

"Doesn't matter to me." I shrugged.

"Well, I'll be home alone tonight. You wanna come over and chill?"

"Yeah, definitely." Perfect.

"Sweet. You can come over at like, seven."

"Sounds good." I agreed. It was going to be a great night. When Lilly and I were alone, we flirted a lot more, and we were very touchy-feely. I was excited! I lived right next door to her, and our windows were facing each other. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember. Whenever I'm not feeling good I just look out my window and if I see her moving around, I feel better.

Once I got home, I took a two and a half hour nap. I woke up at around 5:30, and I was still tired. I watched some TV until I was called down for dinner at six. I didn't eat much of the meatloaf; I just wasn't very hungry. After dinner, I took a shower and changed my clothes.

I could see Lilly in her room when I looked through my window. Her hair looked freshly straightened. She also looked…almost sad. I didn't have a great view, but she just didn't look like the usual happy-go-lucky Lilly. I noticed her window was open, so I opened mine to talk to her.

"Ooh, Lilly!" I called out.

She walked over to the window and smiled. "Hey, Oliver. You comin' over now?"

"Yeah, I'll be right over." I smiled and closed my window. I sprayed myself with axe: essence before I left, because I knew that was Lilly's favorite kind. "Bye Mom, bye Dad." I said, trying to leave the house as fast as possible. They never liked when I went to Lilly's alone.

"Wait, where are you going?" my nosey mom asked.

"To Lilly's. Bye!" I tried to make a run for it but she called me back.

"No way, her parents aren't home." my mom stated. Why did she have to be such good friends with the Truscotts?

"Mom, come on! I already told Lilly I was coming."

"Well, tell her she can come over here."

"But we don't have a finished basement with a big screen TV!"

"Oliver, you're not going over there alone."

"Why not!" I demanded.

"Is Miley going?"

"Well, no…but-"

"I say let him go." my dad chimed in.

"Wil, why would you say that?"

"They're best friends! What do you think they're gonna do?" my dad defended me as I watched them argue back and forth.

"Two teenagers in an empty house? I don't approve of that and I know the Truscotts wouldn't either."

"What's the difference between them hanging out at the mall versus hanging out there?" Dad asked.

My mom sighed. "Fine, you can go. But be home by 11."

"12," I pushed.

"11:30," my mom argued back.

"11:45!" my dad spoke up. "Now go!"

"Thanks, see-ya!" I bolted out of the house. I walked to Lilly's and knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, Lilly appeared. "Hey, you know you don't have to knock."

I shrugged. "I didn't want to be rude."

"Well, come on in." she opened the door wider and I walked right on through. I took off my shoes and socks, and we walked into her basement.

"I like your hair." I complimented, sitting on the couch.

"Thanks." she smiled, sitting next to me. "You smell good."

I grinned. "Thanks." We sat back on the couch and turned on the TV. I tried to watch, but all I could focus on was how she smelled. "You smell good, too." I said.

"Thanks, it's coconut lime body spray," she smiled.

"Smell's good." I smiled also.

She giggled and replied, "Not as good as you." I laughed at this, and her cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered it, putting it on speaker phone.

"Hey, Lilly!" It was Miley. "I'm in the bathroom right now. Jake is amazing!"

Lilly's smile soon faded, but she didn't let Miley know that. "Wow, that's great!" she said.

"So what are you doing?"

"Hanging out with Oliver! We're having a great time." Lilly said, trying to make it seem like we were actually doing something.

"Cool, where are you guys?"

"In my basement."

"Oh, I gotta go, Jake's probably wondering where I am. I love you and I'll call you later. Tell Oliver I said hi."

"K, later." They hung up.

"Lil, I really think you should forget about Jake." I told her, noticing that she was no longer smiling.

"I know. It's just hard to get over him."

"Well, you deserve a lot better than him."

"Thanks, Oliver." she smiled. "Let's watch a movie."

"Alright, what do you wanna watch?"

"Let's watch Saw II."

"Sweet, put it in." I said, grabbing a blanket. Lilly put in the movie and turned off the lights. She got under the blanket with me, and we began watching the movie. Lilly didn't normally get scared during horror movies, but the Saw movies always got to her.
