Sorry it took so long to update...again. I'm in the midst of getting ready for school (eww) and I went on vacation a week and a half ago, plus we had friends visiting for the weekend from out of state. Things have been slightly hectic. But don't worry! Last night I wrote the next...two chapters, I think, of this story and I plan to write more today, since I have time to kill before I go to the beach. So enjoy, review, have a good day. :)

Oliver's THOUGHTS

I've decided something. Considering my current status as Miley's dorky best guy friend, and the fact that that doesn't look liable to change anytime soon, I have decided that what I really need to do, even more then go to the gym, is move on.

I've loved Miles long enough to know her preferences in guys. I've tried to measure myself up to them tons of times. Obviously, it didn't work. I mean, I don't have 'movie star good looks' or 'a charming personality.' I'm not graceful or dignified or anything along those lines. I don't have control over what I say a lot of the time... I'm just nothing that she looks for in a guy.

Which is precisely why I've come to the conclusion that I have no chance in the world of her liking me back and that if I want to live out the rest of my lonely days in peace, what I should really do is just...distance myself from her, I guess. Not think about her constantly. Not call her every time I get bored. I guess I could try hanging out with Lilly more often...'

Oh who am I kidding? I'm weak! I know I can't do that.

But I have to. If I don't, I'll never get over this crush.

But you love her. You can't get over love... I don't think.

Sure you can. Why do you think there are divorces?

You aren't being helpful, Mr. Hyde.

Neither are you Dr. Jekyl...loser. Jekyloser.

What kind of comeback is that?

I have...absolutely no idea.

I'm not schizophrenic!

Are you sure about that?

God, please save me now.

I'm at a point where I'm not even safe in my own head. What the freaking heck is wrong with me? No wonder Miley chose Jake. I'll bet Jake doesn't talk to himself...although he does stare at himself a lot. That has to count against him somehow...right?
