So I haven't updated this story in a long time. I didn't know what else to have happen so I've been thinking about it a lot. Anyway let me know what you think about it.
Chapter 4
xx
The next few weeks, Lilly and Oliver saw less and less of Miley. Lilly was standing in the kitchen with her mom. Heather was doing dishes while Lilly scooped some ice cream. "So, honey, why hasn't Miley been around lately?"
"I don't know...she started hanging around with Amber and Ashley a lot." Lilly answered.
"So you've just been hanging out with Oliver?" Heather asked.
"Pretty much. We're going bowling tonight I think." Lilly shrugged.
"Oh, bowling on a Saturday night? Like a date?" Heather questioned.
"Mom! It isn't like that..." Lilly left the room with her bowl.
"Sorry, I just thought since you two were together so much.." Heather apologized from the kitchen.
Lilly rolled her eyes. She sat down on the couch and flipped through the channels while she started to eat her ice cream. She stopped on a music channel. He sees everything black and white, never let nobody see him cry. I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine. Lilly started thinking about what her mom had said as the words of the Taylor Swift song went through her mind. I could tell you his favorite color's green, he loves to argue, born on the seventeenth. His sister's beautiful, he has his father's eyes and if you ask me if I love him, I'd lie.
x Lilly's POV x
I switched the tv off and left my bowl, still half full of ice cream, in the kitchen. "I'm going for a walk."
"Alright, don't be gone long. If you're going to be. Call and let me know." Mom answered.
I nodded as I headed out the door. I checked my back pocket to make sure I had my phone. Yep. I don't really know why I left, I just needed some air. I couldn't stop thinking about the song either. It kept playing in my head. Unknowingly I walked towards Oliver's house and soon found myself on the sidewalk in front of his house. I sighed and walked up to his doorway, ringing the doorbell.
Soon, Oliver opened the door. "Hey, Lilly! What are you doing here?" He smiled a little. It was cute. Why am I thinking this? I wouldn't normally think Oliver's cute. What is wrong with me today?
"Oh, well I just wanted to go for a walk to get out of the house. Then I thought I wonder what Oliver's up to!" That sounded stupid. I mentally hit myself. Why was I so self conscious around him now? We'd been friends since we were little.
"Cool, so you want to come in and hang out? My mom is at the station today." Oliver opened the door wider.
"Sure." I stepped inside. I liked being at Oliver's house, it always felt so much like home. Growing up, we would stay at each other's houses all the time because we each lived with only our mom. "So what have you been up to today?"
Oliver sat down on his couch. "Nothing really, my mom got me up early to tell me she was leaving and that I had to clean my room or she'd ground me, so I got up and cleaned my room."
I laughed and sat on the couch with him. "That's awesome." Oliver's room was never clean. "But...you stuffed it all in your closet didn't you."
"Hey! I only stuffed like half of it in there. The garbage- I actually threw away." He laughed and I did too.
"Aww, what a good little boy." I looked at the tv. "Oliver, why are you watching Are You Dumber Than a Dog?"
Oliver quickly took the remote and turned it off. "I'm-Pshh-no-I am-I AM NOT dumber than a dog!"
I started laughing hard. "Stupid beagle." I could hear him mutter.
"Yet you still watch the show." I sighed, jokingly.
"Psh- no it was on cause my mom- yeah." Oliver got up. "So anyway we should go to the beach or something."
I smiled. "Ok."
"Let me go change." He pointed up the stairs.
"Alright, I'll wait here." I watched him go upstairs. The song was still going through my head. If you ask me if I love him, I'd lie. Maybe I really did care for him in more than a friend way, I could never tell him though.
