Lilly gaped at him for a moment. "Oliver, I…" she stuttered, completely confused.
Oliver shrugged. "It's fine. I get it." He replied, turning around and digging through the fridge again.
Lilly blinked, rubbing her forehead. "Oliver…" she said softly, trying to think of something to say.
"I bet you're so caught up in all of this, you forgot what day it is today too" he added, glancing at her from over his shoulder.
She paused. "D-December 20…" she said slowly.
"Exactly. My birthday." Oliver replied, looking at her.
Lilly noticed the hurt expression on his face immediately. "Oliver, I'm so sorry" she whispered, walking towards him and throwing her arms around his neck. She could feel his body tighten as she embraced him, and she felt a rush of guilt go threw her. How could she not have realized this sooner?
He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Lilly bit her lip, and then buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry Oliver, I really am" she whispered, closing her eyes and sighing softly.
He nodded. "I forgive you" he murmured, pulling away slightly.
Lilly looked at him for a moment, trying to understand why he could possibly like her. "How long?" she asked softly.
Oliver bit his lip. "How long have I loved you?" he asked, and she nodded lightly. "Since the day we met" he replied, and Lilly smiled weakly.
Lilly opened her mouth to say something, but then the front door opened. "Am I interrupting something?" Joe Jonas asked, stepping into the house and closing the door behind him.
Lilly immediately took back her arms, pushing Oliver gently away from her. She felt her heart flutter as Joe smiled softly at her, and she gave a weak smile in return.
"Oliver, do you think you could excuse us for a moment?" Joe asked, glancing at Oliver.
"Actually, Joe, maybe you should go" Lilly said softly, noticing the pained expression on Oliver's face.
Oliver shook his head quickly. "Its fine, I'll go upstairs" he replied, turning to walk away, but Lilly grabbed his hand.
"Oliver…" she whispered, and he smiled softly.
"Lilly…" he replied, pulling her closer to him. "I saw the way you looked at him, and I know you'll never look at me like that, just go for it Lilly" he whispered in her ear.
Lilly paused, biting her lip and looking into his deep chocolate eyes. She nodded slowly. "Okay" she whispered. "But I want you to stay here."
Oliver opened his mouth to say something, but she glared at him. "Stay" she instructed, and he nodded slowly.
Lilly turned to Joe. "What did you want to say?"
Joe glanced at Oliver, then at Lilly. "I…uh, just wanted to know what's up with Nick" he replied softly.
Lilly's heart sank, of course that's why he was here. "What'dya mean?" she questioned, glancing at Oliver.
"He hasn't come out of his room since last night, and he never misses breakfast" Joe replied, and Lilly shrugged.
"Maybe he's just not hungry" she replied, her voice cracking slightly.
"Lilly" Joe said, his voice stern. "I want to know what's going on with my brother"
A/N; Ahaha. Short chapter. YES.
