Chapter 3: Gone Missing
A/N: YAY! New chapter! I hope you like it! Review please!
Oliver's P O V
It was really cold out tonight. I was walking home from Miley's house after she basicly kicked me out. I just told her I loved her and all she could do was ask me to leave? I walked out of her room right after that. I should have probably called my mom for a ride home but, whatever. I started to pick up my pace until I was in a full sprint. I just kept running to wherever my feet would take me, past my house, past Rico's, and past the school. The cold air was starting to pierce my skin but I didn't stop even though my legs were aching. I finally stopped at the one place I loved. It was an abandoned house, with a giant stairwell, like the one in Edward Scissorhands. My favorite movie. I always came to think here. I knew no one would come to find me, like in those cheesy movies, where the girl mysteriously finds the boy on the beach and expresses her true love to him. Then the get married, and no one has anything to say about it. I wish that would happen.
I wish.
Lily's P O V
Ok, I should stop. I had been pacing back and forth in my room for about 10 minutes. Oliver missing? He isn't that stupid. He has to come back? Doesn't he? I wonder what happened. I had just gotten a phone call from Oliver's mom asking if he was at my house. He is probably just swimming or something! Right! He has to be!
Ringggg
I ran over to the phone as fast as I could and answered it before the second ring.
"Hello? Whoever you are, do you know where Oliver is?" I said quickly into the phone. I smacked my forehead. It's probably my grandma! She is probably freaked out right now.
"Lily?" A quiet voice said on the other line.
"Yes?"
"It's Miley." I froze. Oh no. What do I say?
"Look Miley, I..."
"No Lily, it was my fault. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you. I'm sorry Jackson thought he should break up with you. But, you are probably going back out right now..."
"No, no we aren't actually. Did he tell you we were? He never even called me back."
"Oh Lily! I'm such a terrible friend! If I hadn't freaked out, you and Jackson would still be dating and maybe Oliver wouldn't have told me he loved me..."
"WAIT? WHAT!"
"Umm, uhh Oliver kind of kissed me and told me he loved me. I wasn't ready. I wasn't expecting it! I didn't even think before I asked him to leave! I didn't even say anything! He just walked out and now he is gone!!!! It's my fault!"
"Whoa, I'm coming over."
"Bring your stuff, too. You should stay over."
"Okay, be there in a few."
I hung up the phone and dashed into my closet and threw a bag of clothes together. I ran into my mom's room to tell her what I was doing, and I left to Miley's.
Miley's P O V
I have ruined everything. Oliver probably won't be my friend anymore. That was the worst thing I could have done, as his friend, I should have told him what I felt. I hope Oliver doesn't do something stupid.
"Miles, Lily in 10!!" Miley's dad called from the kitchen. I ran down the stairs and opened the door quickly to let a skateboarding Lily in the house.
I ran over to her and gave her a big hug.
"Friends?" Lily asked.
"Friends."
"Now, we have to worry about our other friend."
"I'm sure he is fine. He just probably just wants to be alone."
"Your probably right."
"I hope so.
We walked upstairs and into my room, passing Jackson on the way. Talk about awkward. For both of us. Once we got into my room, I shut the door.
"Lily, I hope this isn't to awkward for you, you know because..."
"No, don't worry it won't be."
We sat ourselves down by the phone and waited for a call from Oliver's mom. She said she would call us when she got news from the police that were out looking for him. I hope they find him.
Oliver's P O V
I jolted awake. Where was I? I looked around me and saw the familiar blue and black walls of the abandoned house. I checked the watch on my arm and it read 1:46 am. Oh my gosh. I must have fallen asleep. I stood up quickly and had to stop and sit back down. A piercing pain shot through my forehead. I stood back up slowly and started down the stairs and out the door into the pitch black outside. I started to run again so I could make it home faster. Everyone will probably think I ran away. They probably have the police out looking for me. Great, now I have to think of a good explanation of why I was gone so long.
I continued running until I made it to my house. I walked up to the front door and grabbed the key from under the rug. I opened the door, to an awake house with my family sitting on the couch. They turned and saw me.
"Oliver! Your home!" Addy, my 6 year old sister ran over to me and hugged me. She ran back over to the couch and went to sleep.
"Oliver, I'm so happy you came back! What happened."
I walked over to the couch and sat next to my mom and told her I had gotten upset about a fight I had with Miley so I went to the beach to think, but ended up falling asleep. Not the whole truth, but I didn't want my mom to know where my secret spot was. Or what actually happened between Miley and me.
