"She kissed you?!" Oliver stood up from the couch, his nostrils fuming, and anger taking over his body. "She kissed you!"
Lilly didn't know what to do when Miley left, who was she to turn to? She could not tell her Mom that would be weird and awkward. Plus Lilly was not sure of her true feelings yet, so she decided on Oliver, her friend forever and boyfriend. "Oliver relax, it was nothing, you could barely define it as a peck on the lips." Lilly stood up and grabbed Oliver by his shoulders. "Sit back down."
Oliver clenched his jaw. How could Miley kiss his girlfriend? How could Miley love her? How could Miley do any of that? Oliver felt betrayed. Why would Miley do that? She knows they are together. She knows he loves Lilly, so why? Oliver's deep brown eyes, caught Lilly's and he calmed down. He took a breath and sat back down, Lilly following him. "I'm sorry Lils, it's just that…"
"Oliver there is nothing you need to be jealous about." Lilly placed her hand atop of his and gave him a soft smile, he in return smiled back. "Calm down. I know you care for me and there is nothing in this world that could change the way I feel about you." Lilly leaned in and kissed his cheek. But felt weird.
Something was off, something was different. After she said that her stomach tightened and there was a tug of her heart. "I know, I know." Lilly rested her head on Oliver's shoulder, lost in her thoughts, while Oliver wrapped his arm around her. "What's going to happen?"
Lilly didn't want to think about it. How could Miley almost maybe love her? Love her for four long years and never say a thing? Lilly let out an exhausted sigh. "I don't know?" Lilly closed her eyes and snuggled in closer to Oliver. After Lilly found out about Miley's true feelings something changed inside of her. Could she possibly like Miley, as more than a friend, as well? Is that the reason she was so worried when Miley became distant? Is that why the brunette girl haunted her mind? No, she cares for Oliver. Lilly's eyes shot wide open. Cares? Didn't she love him? Of course it felt weird when Oliver told her that, and when she told him she loved him back, and she really didn't have time to comprehend to Miley's confession. "O-Oliver?" Lilly pulled away so she could face her boyfriend and looked straight into his eyes. "How do you know you love someone?"
Oliver was taken back. He was scared about the question. Was Lilly planning on leaving him for Miley? Did Lilly love Miley? "Uh…well y'know how the song goes Lilly, 'it's in his kiss'." Oliver played the question off as a joke. He didn't want to know what Lilly was thinking, it scared him. He didn't want to lose Lilly, especially to a girl that would be embarrassing. He loved her. Lilly looked at him seriously, she was in no mood for jokes. "Okay." Oliver sat up straighter. "I guess I know that I love you by: I care for you, I worry about your life more than my own, whenever I think about you or see you smile I feel great inside, and whenever you are around I feel better."
Lilly looked off to the side. Was that love? Can you really define love? How does anyone know what love really is? How do you know you have fallen in love with someone? What does it take to realize you are in love? When you lose that person? "D-do you think Miley feels the same way?"
"I-I don't know Lils." Oliver grew uncomfortable. The last thing he wanted was a showdown between him and Miley, fighting for Lilly. He also didn't like Lilly looking too much into this whole problem. "W-why?"
Lilly started to fidget and play with her hands. She refused to meet Oliver's gaze. "I-I don't know. I mean think about it Oliver. Four years, four years she felt this way. It-it just got me thinking."
Oliver swallowed the lump in his throat and tried his best to ease his beating heart. "About what?"
Lilly noticed Oliver's worry. "Oliver don't worry, nothing will change between us, I love you." It happened again, the flip in her stomach was worse and the pull on her heart was stronger. "I just feel bad for Miley that is all. What if she never finds that one?"
Oliver did his best to calm down. "I'm sure she will Lil. We did. Love can happen unexpectedly, without warning. Love just happens."
"Yeah, I guess you are right, maybe I'm lookin' way to into this." Lilly rested back down on the couch.
"Yeah…well its getting late, I should go. See you tomorrow."
"Kay." Oliver leaned forward to kiss her. His lips rested on hers and after a few short seconds she pulled away. "Bye Ollie." Oliver didn't say anything and gave her a quick peck on the cheek. Lilly let out a sigh. She brought her finger tips to her lips once again. Remembering what Oliver said and what that classic song said. "That's it."
Lilly sprang up from the couch and threw her shoes on and was out the door into the night, going over to the Stewart's and seeing Miley.
--x--
Miley was in her room. That is where she would hang out now, all by herself. A captive, a prisoner, caged. She was afraid to go out in the fear of seeing Lilly, so she stayed home, in her room, in her sanctuary.
Her Father and brother grew worried. They knew something was wrong and that it had to do with Lilly or Oliver or both, but they didn't know what. Miley would tell them nothing and if Lilly or Oliver would call or come over to make up an excuse.
Robbie Ray was downstairs sitting on the sofa watching television. He didn't know what to do with his daughter. He figured in time she would come to him, but for him time was running out. He was losing his patience soon he was going to talk to her, soon. Robbie Ray was distracted by his television show when there was a knock on the door. He saw the blonde on the other side and opened the door halfway. "Lilly? What're you doing here? Didn't Miley tell you she was grounded?"
Robbie Ray was getting tired of making up excuses and shooing Miley's friends away, but he would do anything for his kids. "No, and don't say anything else, I know she's here Mr. Stewart, please could I see her."
Robbie Ray was defeated he gave the small girl a smile and opened the door all the way, stepping aside. "Sure, she has been down lately, maybe you could help her."
"Right, thanks." Lilly slipped passed him and ran her way up the stairs to Miley's room. Lilly got to her door and took in a deep breath. She knocked softly and asked to see if anyone was in there. "Miley?"
On the other side of the door Miley's eyes shot wide. Could that be who she thought it was? Miley whispered to herself. "Lilly?" She knew the blonde better than anyone and she would do anything when determined. Miley jumped from her bed and to her door to lock it.
Lilly knew Miley well enough too and started to turn the doorknob opening the door. Lilly pushed it opened but Miley reached the door pushing it back. "No Miley! We are talking."
Lilly closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. Miley was stronger than she thought. Miley exerted just as much force at Lilly to close the door. "I already said what you wanted to hear Lil, let's end it at that."
Lilly fought back getting a few centimeters but skidded back. "Why? What if I don't want to? What if I don't want you out of my life? The only way we are ending this is if we talk!" Lilly screamed the last giving her best force to push the door open causing Miley to fall back a few feet away. Lilly quickly closed the door behind her and locked it. Not wanting Miley to escape. She breathed heavily along with Miley, both trying to catch their breath. Miley stood up and Lilly took a step closer causing Miley to take a step back. "What is wrong?" Lilly waited; nothing. Miley was looking around a place where she could escape. "Tell me!"
Lilly drew another step forward and Miley took another one back. Miley wanted to get away. Wishing she never met Lilly, wishing she or her could disappear. Never have anything to do with Lilly, wishing she never fell for her. "I-I'm scared okay!"
"Scared? Of what me?" Lilly dropped her defenses. What would Miley be scared of?
"Yes! No! I don't know." Miley's voice grew softer. "I'm just scared. I can't explain it. Why are you here?"
Miley looked down at the floor preventing any tears from falling. Lilly cautiously took another step forward. "I need to figure something out?"
Miley looked at Lilly quickly. "What?" Lilly locked eyes with Miley. This was it. She was going to find out if all the sayings were true. She had to find out; she had to find out what she was feeling. She had to know, to fix her future, to make it better or worse. It took Miley four years, but according to Oliver 'love can happen without warning, love just happens'.
She wanted to know for sure. Lilly didn't break eye contact with Miley as she took another step forward. She cupped Miley's right cheek with her left hand. "You didn't give me enough time, last time." Miley didn't move or say anything. Lilly came closer and both can feel the other girl's breath. Lilly took her right hand and gripped it to Miley's shirt; she didn't want Miley to get away. Then she kissed her. Her left hand traveling to Miley's hair and her right gripping Miley's shirt tighter, pulling her closer.
Miley didn't know what to do. The girl she grew to love was kissing her; this might be her last chance so she kissed back. Miley's left hand cupped Lilly's cheek, and her right rested on Lilly's waist, also pulling the blonde closer.
Miley tilted her head and the kiss grew more passionate and fiery. Lilly stood on her tip toes putting more pressure on the girl's lips. The instant their lips connected for more than a second Lilly went through an epiphany. Her heart soared, music played, and lights flashed off behind her eyes. The kiss slowed down and oxygen was becoming a necessity. Lilly started to pull back but both girls continued to give small kisses. Lilly kissed Miley one last time before pulling away completely. Listening to the taller girl's heavy breathing, mixing with hers. The blonde swallowed and squeaked out the only word buzzing in her brain at that time. "Wow."
