I know, this update is a miracle. Thanks to SVUlover...probably would've had to wait longer without her. Check out her awesome fics if you haven't already.
Chapter 5: Awkwardness
Lilly's POV
After we had been playing in the water for about an hour and a half, we decided to come out. The three of us collapsed on our towels, exhausted from swimming for so long.
"I'm hungry."
"You're always hungry, Oliver." I replied.
"Although, this time I agree." Miley argued, as she and Oliver put their fingers on their noses.
"Why do I always lose this?!" I exclaimed, since I really didn't want to have to be the one to go up to Rico's and get food. "Who came up with this stupid idea to decide who gets food anyway!?" I challenged, clearly annoyed.
"You did." They replied in unison.
"Whoa, that was like at the exact same time! Did you guys plan that?"
"No." They replied together yet again.
"Okay, I'm getting scared now, so one of you go get the food."
"Oh, no, Lilster. You lost, so you have to go." Oliver replied, clearly happy about not being "it" for the first time in a while and probably wanting to spend alone time with Miley.
"Please don't make me!"
They gave me strange looks, probably wondering why I was so against going to Rico's. I couldn't lead them into figuring out the real reason, so I had to get up and hope that Jackson was off his shift, or that somebody else would be working with him, but as I approached the shack, I realized that he was the only one working and there wasn't even anyone else around, except for a few happy couples at the surrounding tables.
So, I walked up to Rico's and said an awkward hello to Jackson as I realized that I hadn't put on my cover-up over my bathing suit and he was staring at me, probably remembering the incident from this morning. I put my hand on his chin and directed his stare to my eyes.
"Can I have the usual, Jackson?" Miley, Oliver, and I always ordered the same thing for lunch at Rico's.
"Coming right up." He replied, blushing, and walking away to get the food.
I hopped up on one of the bar stools and watched him make his way around the shack, inadvertently picturing scenes from this morning's encounter in my mind. Shaking my head, I looked back at Miley and Oliver, to see Miley blushing and Oliver looking shocked. I'll have to question them about that later.
Nobody's POV (what's happening with Oliver and Miley when Lilly leaves)
Miley turned back around after watching Lilly stalk off to see Oliver staring at her.
"What? Something on my face?"
"N-no, it's perfect." she smiled, but that quickly faded when remembering that she had to tell him something serious.
"Oliver... Oliver... OLIVER!"
"WHAT?" He exclaimed, finally coming back from Ollie land to hear her calling his name.
"I've been calling your name for a while. I have something to tell you, and it might change how you feel about me."
Oliver smiled. Yes! Miley feels the same way! She's going to tell me that she likes me!
"Sure, Miles. Anything, what's up?"
"Well, I um don't know how to tell you this, but I um okay, I'm just going to say it… I'm pregnant."
Oliver's jaw dropped, and his eyes grew as wide as saucers, as his face paled, hearing Miley's news, causing her to blush.
"Um are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. I went to the doctor's and everything. I'm sure you hate me now, or think I'm a slut or something, and I've been thinking the same thing. I mean, I don't even know who the guy was. I must've been so drunk that night. I feel awful about it, but I created the baby, with the father, whoever that is, and I feel like its special and I can't just kill it, Ollie, so when it's seven months they can do a paternity test and then I can work up the courage to tell the dad that he's going to be a dad and hopefully he'll support me, but if not , I'm still going to keep the baby because I feel like even though its only been for a really short time, he or she is a part of me."
Oliver gained the color back in his face when he heard that Miley didn't know who the father was, but he was still worried about Miley.
"Well, if you need me, I'm here."
"Aww, thanks Ollie, you're the sweetest." She replied hugging him. If only she was hugging me after we confessed our feelings for each other. He sighed. "No problem."
Lilly's POV
I looked back at Jackson to find him bent over searching on the ground for something, and quite frankly I didn't want to know what it was. I was too busy watching him. What are you doing Lilly?! Get a hold of yourself. I shook my head for the second time that day, and decided to observe everyone else if looking at Jackson was making me a little too happy.
All around me were happy couples, and it was making me wish for someone to be a happy couple with. Things didn't work out so well with Matt or Lucas, but I know all guys aren't like that. I mean, Jackson's nice. WHOA! Did I just compare Jackson to my past boyfriends? The heat of the sun must be getting to my head.
"Here you go, Lilly." Jackson said, giving me my food and avoiding my glance. "See you later." He said really fast before walking away. It was probably because he didn't want me to see him blush, but he didn't turn around fast enough for that! Good to know I'm not the only one seriously affected by our encounter this morning. Oh well, hopefully things will get better soon.
I walked down the beach back to Miley and Oliver, to find them hugging. I wonder if they admitted their feelings for each other.
"Hey guys, hope I'm not interrupting something, like a confession maybe?" I hinted.
"Wow, Lilly, you're like psycho." Oliver replied. I gave him his donut look.
"That's psychic, you donut," Miley replied for me. "And you were right, Lilly." Yay! I was right!
"So then I guess things are going to be a bit different, huh?" I replied, smiling.
"Not really. I mean Miley told me, so yeah. I'll be there for her, but it's not going to change anything. It would've happened the same way, even if I didn't know about it." Oliver replied, making me seriously confused.
"I don't get it. She told you she likes you, you like her back, and you're not going to do anything about it?"
"W-w-what?!" They both shout-stuttered.
"Um, isn't that what you guys confessed?"
"NO!" They shouted together again, blushing.
"Oh, okay, then what did you confess?" I asked, unaffected.
"About the baby." Miley answered.
I formed an "O" with my mouth. "Oops, my bad. I got the food, though, so who wants to eat?"
They silently took their food and started eating. I looked back and forth between the two, wondering if I had started an awkward silence. Deciding that I had, I broke it, in the best way I knew how- making the problem known. "So, now things are awkward?"
"Ya think?" Miley replied.
"It's not my fault. If you two would've confessed by now, then I wouldn't have had to bring it up and make things awkward." I rebutted.
"There's nothing to confess!" They shouted together yet again, then looking at each other, and looking a bit sadder, probably at the other's remarks, and thinking that they were telling the truth.
"Well, we all know that's a lie."
"It is not. And if it is, then you like Jackson." Oliver replied.
To this I blushed. "Do not!"
"Oh my god, Lilly, you're blushing! You do like him!" Miley shouted, not realizing that I was blushing from thinking about the shower incident, or was I? What am I saying? Of course it's because of the shower incident. Anyone in my situation would act the same.
"No I don't. I'm not blushing."
"You were." Oliver said. I gave him a dirty look before replying.
"I don't like Jackson, okay? Let's just drop this and finish eating. I just try to help you two get together when everyone knows you should and you turn it on me."
"Sorry." They mumbled, before we all ate the rest of our lunches in silence.
AN: I don't know about you, but I hated that chapter. It was a serious filler aside from Miley telling Oliver about the baby.
I want to apologize so so so so so so so so so so so much for not updating in a normal time span. I hate me for it too. This is why I didn't want to write fics until the summer, but people wanted me to so much, and I missed getting reviews. LOL.
I have a million and one excuses, but I don't really think you care to hear them all. If you do, keep reading. I have the most schoolwork anyone can imagine, and most of the people I talk to from here and all the people in my school can justify that. Seriously, for not being that old, you wouldn't think I'd get so much, but honors and AP classes will kill you if you don't stay on top of your work. Aside from that, I've had after-school track, volunteering, more homework, and taking care of my brother. Plus, I was sick for like a week. And I was busy busy over thanksgiving break. Alright, I'm bored of my excuses now, but just know that I haven't had time, but I hope to get some soon. Oh, and I didn't get my normal number of reviews, so technically I could just say I was waiting for you guys, but I won't blame you for my laziness.
Official word count that not many of you commented on: 1407 words.
Hopefully, I haven't bored you to death, and you'll review the lame chapter. Tell me how much it sucked. I seriously want to hear it so that I'll write better next time. Until then, Merry Christmas. lol.. I'm kidding.. I hope to update before then. But Happy Thanksgiving because I missed that. Hope you had a great turkey day and awesome break. Tell me a funny story from it in a review if you can't think of anything decent from this chapter and don't want to bash me even though I'm telling you to. Okay, enough ramblings, hope to write soon! XD
Suggestions are very much appreciated and will probably make me update faster!
