Oliver was lying down in his tent, eyes wide open and twiddling his thumbs. He had been lying there like that for a few hours now. His mind just wouldn't let him rest.

"You blew it, Oken." Oliver was talking to himself. "You let her walk away. Tonight was the night that you were going to settle things once and for all. This could have been your last chance to really explain yourself to Lilly and you screwed it up."

Oliver buried his head in his hands. "If I don't let this out soon, I'm going to explode!" He rubbed his hands on his face. He went to stretch his arms out when he knocked his bag. He felt the thing he had taken from the shoe box in his nightstand and shot up.

"There's still time." He announced. "I'm not backing down. I said I was going to do it tonight and I am. Lilly's going to know the truth and know it now."

Oliver reached in to the bag, pulled out his special surprise, and stuffed it in his pocket. "Lets go. It's show time." He told himself, and left his tent to find Lilly.

Oliver was half passed out with Mr. Coreli had made the speech about not sneaking around the opposite sex's sleeping grounds, but he was careful anyway. He didn't have to figure out what tent housed the sleeping Lilly. She told him she was sharing one with Miley. All he had to do was look for the bright pink one.

"Psst! Lilly! Lilly!" Oliver called out in a whisper once he found the tent "It's me, Oliver." He saw her figure's shadow sit up and unzip the tent opening just enough for her to stick her head out.

"Oliver!" She scolded, putting her finger over her mouth. "You're gonna wake Miley!"

"Sorry." He apologized.

"What do you want?" Lilly yawned.

"I-I can't sleep." Oliver explained.

"Well I can and I was!" Lilly answered back.

"I'm sorry, Lilly." Oliver apologized again. "Will you go for a walk with me?"

"Are you crazy!?" Lilly shouted, but quietly. "Do you know that it's-"

"Three AM, I know, I know." Oliver cut her off. "..But I need to walk with you. I have...I have to tell you something..."

"Can't you tell me here, now that you woke me up?" Lilly asked.

"Please, Lilly." Oliver begged softly. "Please just walk with me for a little. I won't keep you long, I promise."

"Oh..alright." Lilly gave in. She slowly unzipped the rest of the tent opening and crawled out.

"Here we go." Oliver thought to himself.

"Where are we going?" Lilly asked. Oliver grabbed a hold of her arm as if he was escorting her to fancy ball.

"Down the beach to walk along the ocean." He informed her.

"Won't it get cold down there?" She asked, lifting her one eyebrow.

"You won't be cold." He assured, unzipping the hoodie he was wearing and handed it to Lilly to wear.

They made their way down the beach towards the waters edge and walked along just where the waves would come up on shore. They were both barefoot, but surprisingly the cool water felt good covering their feet. For Pacific Ocean water, it was quite a refreshing change.

"You've been quiet." Lilly pointed out as they walked. "I thought you had to talk to me about something."

Oliver almost forgot what he had to say to Lilly. He was too busy enjoying the fact that he linked her in his arms and they were taking this walk on such a beautiful night.

"Lilly," He began. "Do you remember that time two summers ago... when your dad had one of his episodes over the divorce?"

"I remember." She replied, a little quiet.

"You came running to me all cut up and bleeding...I helped take care of you that night."

Lilly titled her head down. She didn't like the feeling that was being brought on by this conversation, but she didn't want to upset Oliver. "Yeah." She answered.

"You...you had nasty gash on your face."Oliver continued. "I cleaned it out for you but do-" Oliver paused. Now he was starting to feel uneasy. "do you remember...I kissed your cheek...to-to make the pain go away."

Lilly slowly moved her hand to her check and gently brushed over the scar that was left from the injury. It was a very small one, because Oliver had taken her to get the required stitches she needed for it to heal properly the day after. The only ones who could tell it was there were the two of them. "I-It did." Lilly said, feeling her eyes watering.

Oliver walked Lilly to the middle of the beach and turned to face the ocean.

"I never felt the same after that night." He said, staring out to the sea." That's when I truly knew how much I cared for you. Everything became clear to me." He turned to Lilly. His voice stared to get crackly. "Seeing you lying there in my bed like that, how hurt you were...it scared me, Lilly. It scared me to death! I never want the thought loosing you. Never ever do I want to get that feeling! Never ever do I want you to go through that again! I want to know you're safe and happy...always."

Both Lilly and Oliver's hearts were pounded away in their chests. Lilly was just wanted for Oliver to go on, while Oliver was waiting nervously to see if she'd stop him. Nothing was said, so he took a deep breath and continued.

"I've been afraid...so afraid that I've kept this from you since then." Oliver said. "And-and now...this-this might be the-the last chance I have to tell you...a-a-and I just...I- I have to let you know..."

It was a crystal clear night. Only stars dotted the sky and the moon hung low. Its reflection shimmered in the water, just as Lilly's eyes were at Oliver's when he turned to look her directly. He took Lilly hands in his and let it out.

"I..love you..."

Oliver thought he had died at that exact moment. Lilly was motionless for a few seconds, before she was able to return the favor.

"I-I love you, too..."

Oliver pulled Lilly close and their lips met just as a wave crashed at the feet. It was a pure ecstasy moment for both of them. The kiss was deep, passionate, and meaningful, just as their feelings towards each other were. When they final broke apart, Lilly rested her head again Oliver's chest.

"I'm so glad you woke me up for this." She told Oliver, listening to his heart beat and knowing that it was beating for her. Oliver looked down and smiled.

"I'm not done yet." He replied. Lilly felt the vibration from his chest and picked up her head. "I have something for you."

She watched as Oliver stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out a little box. "This is a promise from my heart that I'll always be with you, protect you, and love you forever."

He handed the box to Lilly. Her eyes widened when she opened it. It was silver ring with a small blue gemstone cut into the shape of a heart. Amethyst was her birthstone.

"Ollie-Olive-Oliver." Lilly's voice was extremely shaky.

"Don't drop it." He teased. "It's a...promise ring."

"Oliver!" Lilly just repeated his name and pulled him to in long hug.

"Let me put it on you." Oliver said. Lilly pulled away and Oliver took her hand. He slipped the ring on her finger slowly and smiled. "Fits good, huh?" Lilly didn't have a verbal answer. She just reached up and kissed Oliver again, just as passionately as the first time.

"Come lay with me for a while, Lilly." Oliver asked once they had finished. "I want to be with you tonight."

"I want to." Lilly said. "But you know the trouble we could get in to."

"Please stay with me." Oliver begged much like he did before. "It's the only thing missing to make this the perfect night."

Lilly put her hand to his face. "It's already been the perfect night."

Oliver smiled. He had gotten Lilly's approval. "Can I at least walk you back to the tent?"

"I'd love that." Lilly replied with a smile.

"But wait a better idea." Oliver said. He gently scooped her up in his arms like he did the day she was hurt. Lilly cuddled against his chest as Oliver carried her away.

"Here we are." He announced, letting her down. "Now go get some rest...and come see me first thing in the morning."

"I will." Lilly said. Oliver kissed her on the forehead.

"Goodnight, Lills." He spoke softly.

Lilly tugged on Oliver shirt for him to bend his head down. She placed another soft kiss on his lips. "Goodnight, Ollie." She replied before heading back to sleep.

Oliver watched Lilly get settled in silence. "Mission accomplished." He said to himself. Now that Lilly knew what he had been holding back from her and that she was doing the same to him, Oliver felt the overwhelming feeling of love burst through him. He just stood there for awhile, taking it all in. It was then that Oliver cried his second tear; the first tear since that fateful summer night that started it all.

See, everything worked out...but I bet you kinda had a feeling that it would. ;) I'm actually not done with the third tear yet. It may have parts like this one, but only two including the actual scene. The weekend's coming up, so I will try to do my best to supply you guys with your daily dose of Loliver love. You keep reading and I'll keep writting!
