I'm finishing up this story soon, so I can start a newer, and better one that people actually like. Thank you for reading this one though! Reviews aren't expected, but highly appreiciated!
I walked back into the room to help pack. Thankfully after an entire hour of picking things up, debating on whether to keep it or throw it, and putting it into the box carefully, I got a phone call. It was Lilly.
"I've gotta take this," I said running out of the room. "Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Olive. What're ya doin?" she asked.
"Packing." My answer was as dried and shriveled as my attitude was towards it.
"Oh. Sad. You wanna catch a movie?" she asked.
"Hold on I'll ask," I said. I put the phone down and went into the office.
"I know we are having such a wonderful time packing today, but can I go catch a movie later tonight?" I asked.
Mom and dad discussed it through their eyes.
"Only if we can get this packing done," mom answered.
I nodded and ran to the phone.
"Hey Lil. I can go if we finish up packing the office in tonight, so I'd better go," I said.
"Okay. I'll call you at eight," she said.
"K. bye," I said.
"Bye Olive," she said. Why did she want to call me Olive? she has so many stinkin nicknames for me. I went back into the office and looked at my corner I was supposed to do. It had more stuff to go through since I had noone else to help me with.
"Hey Cody, I've got it from here, but I think Ollie could use some help, okay?" Courtney asked.
"Okay," Cody said coming over to my corner. I gave him a fist.
"Thanks little dude," I said.
"Yeah whatever. You owe me a game, only this time don't let me win," he said.
"Okay than," I promised, even though he seriously won on his own. I didn't tell him though. My man pride would suffer. Courtney finished quickly so she came to help me too. She boxed while Cody and I went through things wondering if we should keep them. All of a sudden, about fifteen minutes into it, there was this red flash, that we all saw.
"What was that?" Cody asked. We turned to see mom and dad smiling holding our digital camera.
"That's a good one for the christmas card. Don't see it very often," dad said.
"see what very often?" Courtney asked.
"You three getting along at the same time," mom answered. We rolled our eyes but kind of smiled, and than got back to work. I realized that mom and dads space was done, and we only had about a box left to go. I checked my watch. Five o'clock. Definatly enough time to catch a movie.
"Okay we are done," Courtney declared putting the last thing in the box.
"Cool. See ya," I said leaving.
"Where ya going?" Cody asked.
"Um...don't know yet," I answered. I turned out playing Cody some more at our video game, and lounging around, getting ready to pack up the upstairs living room, since we mostly spend our time in the downstairs living room. We brought the furniture downstairs, and boxed everything in there in two boxes. Now we had two rooms done. Tomorrows mission was to pick out our clothes for the next week, and pack the rest of it.
Lillys family picked me up at nine for the movie, and it turned out to be us two and Miley and Jake. Jake and Lilly of course sat next to each other. I got kind of jealous, but decided not to let it bug me too much. When it was done, I got home after promising to be back on I.M. at midnight. When I looked at the clock I had half an hour left, and didn't know what to do until Miley said she would meat me there. So I watched t.v.
The rest of the days followed this patern. Pack, eat, pack, pee, pack, go hang out a little bit, sleep. Pack, eat, pack, pee, pack, go hang out a little bit, sleep. See the trend? It went on like that for the rest of the time until the day. THE day. The moving day. The day where all of sudden I found myself out front, starring into the black hole, of the FOR SALE sign sitting in my front yard. It is MY front yard no matter what for sale sign said, or the persons name on it.
"Oliver? Earth to Oliver," I heard. I snapped back into reality so fast. I saw Miley sitting on the bench, Jake holding Lillys hand, and those two sitting down right next to each other, Lilly pretending to sit on Jakes lap. How do I tell her now?
"Yeah?" I answered.
"You okay? You kinda spaced out."
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine. It's nothing," I said.
"Hey I'm gonna go to the bathroom, don't go off to Idiana before I get back," he said going into my house. Now if only Miley would go, I would have the privacy I needed to tell Lilly.
"Hey Miley! Come here," Courtney called, almost as if God had counted my blessing. I smiled inside, but I couldn't smile on the outside. We were moving, and there is nothing on this Earth that would make me smile, other than for parents to turn around and say APRIL FOOLS! Or for this to be the part where I wake up and shut the annoying alarm clock off. But I couldn't. because my alarm clock was already on it's way to Indiana. It'll beat me there.
"Hey I'll be right there," Miley called getting up and walking over to Courtney showing her something. I right away sat down next to Lilly before she thought that she was obligated to go over there.
"Hi Lilly," I said.
"Hi Oliver," she said. she looked horribly sad. "I can't believe you're moving."
Oh no. guilt trip. "I know me niether. Although it could be worse. It's just a year, maybe even only nine months. I promise you Lillian Truscott if I don't make it back here in a year, I will hitch hike," I said. She smiled and shook my hand.
"Deal."
Now what can I say?
"So...Lilly," I started.
"Yeah Oliver?" she asked, begging me to go on.
"I was wondering, you know I've really enjoyed our past years as friends, and I'm ready to say this to you. I love you," I said. I was COMPLETELY shocked that I had actually did that. But what I was more COMPLETELY shocked at was her answer.
"Oh Oliver, I love you too," she said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Of course," she said. she was actually crying, as we gave each other a hug.
"What about J-" I started. I wanted to know if she was going to break up with Jake or not for me.
"Hey guys," he said coming in and ruining my life altering conversation.
"Oh hi Jake," she said to him. He sat down.
"Oliver you are the best friend I could have," she said continuing our convo.
"ah.." I started, trying not to let her go on with Jake sitting right next to us. "Hey wait huh?" I asked.
Did she just say BEST FRIEND????!!!!! Is that what she thought I meant?
"I'm going to miss you," she said. "And you have to always remember that I love you. You're my best friend ever."
My insides dropped. HOW COULD SHE THINK THAT???
"Oliver, are you ready?" mom asked.
"No!" I shouted, grouchy, angry, mad, all of the above.
"Good than, get in the car," she said.
"Uh!" I screamed. When I looked, I saw Cody and Courtney hugging their friends good bye. It made me think of the one day in the past week where we went out of routine, by having that sleepover. We went through forty pizzas. We had a few leftovers, but not many.
"I guess this is good bye," Miley said coming up behind me.
"Yeah," I nodded. I got a huge hug from Lilly, Miley, and Jake all at the same time. the girls where crying, and Jake was trying his best to calm them down, even though he hadn't controlled himself very much. He wasn't crying, but acted like he could at any moment. I felt myself on the verge of tears. I didn't say much after that, like it would make everything worse.
"I'll see you in a year," I said as I turned and walked to the van to take us to the airport. They all waved at me, and we took off for the airport. When we pulled into the parking lot, I saw a plane taking off. I felt depressed when I saw it. It was like all hope of me and Lilly where on that plane. Escaping us, going off to Jake land.
And that's how it's going to be.
Well, until I come back next year.
-End.
