A/N: Thanks for all the reviews everyone!
Disclaimer: Me equals no ownership except for Kyle, Adam, and the plot.
Lilly knocked on the Oken residence door. Two months had past since she and Adam had gotten engaged. The door swung open and Oliver stood on the other side looking at the girl that he could have had.
"Hey." He said. He looked like a mess.
"Hi." Lilly replied. She looked him over and noticed that he hadn't shaved in a few days and it looked as if he had just taken his clothes out of the hamper.
"Please come in." Oliver replied as he opened the door further to let Lilly in. Lilly walked in.
"So, uh, you called and said you wanted to talk to me?" Oliver asked as he closed the front door.
"Yeah." Lilly answered. Silence fell between the two. "Look Oliver," Lilly started breaking the silence. "I don't know what happened two months ago, but I don't want to stop being your friend. What did I do?" Lilly asked. "I haven't seen or heard from you since then!"
"It's nothing." Oliver lied. "Kyle and I have just been busy, that's all." He continued. "And we will be at your wedding in four months."
Lilly nodded not believing anything that Oliver had just said. She continued further into the house and looked at the living room. She raised an eyebrow at the site. She saw beer cans all over the floor. She was shocked.
"Oliver I thought you said that this beer thing was just 'occasional'?" Lilly asked putting air quotes around occasional.
"I-i-it is!" Oliver stuttered. "I uh, I just had a few college friends over last night and haven't gotten around to cleaning up yet."
"Oliver stop with all the lies!" Lilly replied in a raised voice.
"It's not a lie!" Oliver shot back, his voice raised as well.
Lilly looked at her friend. "Please tell, that you're not an alcoholic" She begged him.
Oliver turned his head away. He knew it was the truth, and he knew that Lilly would see threw his lies. She already had. "Oliver, Kyle does NOT deserve this!" She said to him.
"I'm doing just fine raising my son!" He yelled at her.
"Oh, yeah right!" Lilly yelled back. "Open your eyes you dough nut, drinking while having a kid in the house isn't smart! It isn't smart period!"
"Whatever Lilly." Oliver muttered.
"Oliver, I can't believe you!" She continued. "I have every reason to call Social Services!"
"No!" Oliver protested. "Please no, don't take my kid away."
"Look at you," She said, in a calmer voice, "You're nothing but a hopeless drunk." Lilly walked towards the back door that led to the beach. "See you around." She said softly, and sadly She opened the sliding door and walked out into the night air.
Oliver sighed. He hit the couch with his fist. His love just walked out of his life for good. He turned and saw Kyle looking at him from the arch that led from the entry hall to the living room. "I wish he hadn't seen that." He approached his son.
"Kyle," He started slowly.
"I don't wanna be taken away!" Kyle yelled in his small four year old voice. Oliver was shocked that his son actually talked. "I don't wanna be taken away! I don't wanna be taken away!" Kyle repeated over and over again.
Oliver ran over to his son and scooped him up in his arms. "I won't let them take you away!" He whispered. "Daddy will get help and they won't take you away." He promised his son. "I promise."
"I can't believe this Lilly!" Adam shouted.
"He's my friend!" Lilly protested. "Or at least he use to be!"
"Well if you two aren't friends anymore then why were you over at his place?" He questioned her.
"I wanted to talk to him but then we had fight!" Lilly screamed at him.
"Well, do you like him?" Adam asked her.
"What?" Lilly asked him back.
"Do you like him?" Adam asked again. "You know, as more then a friend."
"Of course not!" Lilly yelled.
"Are you sure about that?" Adam asked her, still angry.
"Yes!" Lilly protested.
Adam fell silent. "You know what, I can't do this." Lilly said breaking the silence.
"Do what?" Adam asked.
"Marry a guy who doesn't trust me." She replied as she looked Adam strait in the eye.
"Oh so now I don't trust you?" Adam asked, angry again.
"Well, that's what it seems like!" Lilly replied back. She hoped this fight would soon be over. All this fighting was giving her one heck of a head ache.
"So, what are you breaking up with me?" Adam asked her.
Lilly looked at Adam and didn't say anything.
"I can't believe it's been ten years since High School!" Oliver thought as he straitened his tie in the mirror.
"Daddy!" He heard Kyle call , as the hyper nine year old ran and threw himself on his dad's bed. "When is Lissa going to get here?" he questioned.
"Hopefully soon." He answered as he started tickling his son. Kyle screamed in delight while laughing at the same time.
The door bell rang and Kyle jumped up from the bed and ran downstairs to see who was at the door. Oliver grabbed his dress coat and followed behind his son.
"Hi Lissa!" Kyle exclaimed when he saw his favorite babysitter on the other side of the door.
"Hey Kyle!" She exclaimed. "Hi Mr. Oken."
"Thanks for coming Lissa." Oliver said to her as she entered the house. "I don't think I'll be much later then mid-night." He continued. "I've already ordered some pizza for dinner so it should be here soon, I put it on the credit card so you won't have to worry about any money." He gave her the last minuet instructions. "He can stay up till 9:30 at the latest."
"Okay." Lissa replied.
"He has movie that you two can watch tonight if you want as well, and he can show you were the popcorn is." Oliver finished. "Kyle." He called his son.
"Yeah?" Kyle asked as he came back into the entry way.
"I'm going to be home late tonight, so I'll see in the morning." He told him. "I love you son." He knelled down and gave his son a hug.
"I love you too daddy." Kyle replied while hugging his dad.
"I'll also have my cell phone so if there are any problems you'll be able to reach me." Oliver told the sitter. "I don't think there will be but the numbers are on the microwave."
"Okay." Lissa replied again.
"I'll see tomorrow Kyle!" Oliver said once again and gave his son another hug before he left the house and got into his car. "I wonder what they'll say?" Oliver thought as he pulled out of his garage and made his way to the ten year reunion.
"I wonder if Oliver will be here?" Miley wondered as she, Lilly, and her husband, Jake, entered the familer gym.
"Yeah, I haven't heard from in like five years." Jake said.
"What difference does it make?" Lilly questioned. She was secretly hoping that Oliver wouldn't be there because of what happened that fateful night five years ago. She never really got over it. She wasn't sure if Social Services had taken Kyle away and she was hoping that she wouldn't run into Oliver.
"Oh my gosh!" The three heard, "Hey guys!" Sarah said as she came up behind them. "It's been a long time!"
"Yeah, 10 years!" Jake joked.
"So what have you guys been up too?" Sarah asked them.
"Well, Jake and I got married a year ago," Miley filled her while squeezing Jake's arm.
"And, I'm still single." Lilly said with a sigh.
"Well, then may I have this dance?" She heard a voice from behind her. She turned around and saw Oliver.
Lilly smiled. Suddenly she was glad that Oliver was there. "Yeah." She replied.
Oliver led her to the dance floor. Luckily it was a faster song so they wouldn't be super close. "So, uh, what happened to Adam?" Oliver asked as the two danced.
"We broke up before the wedding." Lilly answered. "So how have you been?"
"Sober," Oliver replied, making Lilly crack a smile. "That night when you called me a 'hopeless drunk' really made me think about my life and Kyle's." He started to tell her, "That night, I poured all the alcohol down the drain." He said. "And that was the first time I heard Kyle speak."
"Really?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah, you see after you left it turned out that he had seen the whole fight." Oliver told her. "And he looked at me and said 'I don't want to be taken away!' and those words made me realize that I did need help. So I started going to AA meetings."
"So how long have you been sober?" Lilly asked as the DJ slowed things down and the two pulled closer together.
"It will be five years tomorrow, actually."
Oliver told her. The two danced for a bit before Lilly broke the "silence" between them. "So, is Kyle still living with you?"
"Yeah!" Oliver exclaimed thinking of son. "The Social worker did show up but I explained that I was getting help and I had show her proof and what not but yeah, he's still living with me."
"Is he just like quiet or what?" Lilly asked.
Oliver chuckled. Quiet did not describe Kyle anymore. "No, he's turned into a little chatter box where at times I basically have to tell him to shut up and sit down."
Lilly laughed. It sounded like Oliver had his life back on track.
"Jake, Jake!" Miley whispered yelled at her husband. "Don't they look cute together?" She asked referring to Lilly and Oliver.
"Don't meddle!" Jake warned her, knowing that Miley probably would meddle.
"I won't!" She answered. "I'm just happy for them."
