When Miley Stewart came into our lives everything changed so fast. Soon she was all Lilly talked about and they became best friends. Miley took my place in Lilly's life and I was just the stupid doghnut that always hung around them. Our daily life was changed by the new girl Miley. Now Lilly would rather tan on the beach than catch some waves or head to the skate park.

But who was I to stand in the way of my girls happiness. If haging out with a girl made her happy, than I was also happy. She really deserved somebody she could do all that girly stuff with. Our whole lifes so far she has never had a real girlfriend. She was your typical tomboy. She needed sombody like Miley. Someone she could talk to, other than me. But these girls seemed to have a connection that completely outshone our friendship.

Lilly's parents were ecstatic to learn that their only daughter finally had a female friend.

Nobody talked about Lilly and Oliver anymore. Forgotten were all the plans of us falling in love and getting married in the future. It was her and Miley against the rest of the world. Nothing could ever get between them. They shared all the same classes and liked to do the same things for fun. I never saw this girly side of Lilly before. Suddenly she bought Make Up and wore skirts. Maybe she was scared to be real with me?

Even though they were inseparable, they never forgot about me. Alway trying to include me into their activities. I remember once they took me to get our nails done. Or trying to convince me on asking Sarah out on a date. They just couldn't see what I saw. The perfect girl was in front of me and that it just wasn't time to reach for her yet. The thought of fairytale endings was permanently branded into my mind. Someday Lilly would wake up and see. It would all come perfectly clear to her. And I would be there waiting for her. We were oing to be so happy together and everybody would see. I was in so deep and I couldn't get myself out of it.

I realized that this friendship with Miley was probably just a phase for her. She wants to try something new. Maybe she just needed some space. Some time away from me could make her realize what's been in front of her all along.

So I turned to Jackson. Miley's brother. He was just a year older and became a very close friend. Someone I could do stuff with I couldn't do with Lilly. Jackson and I started hanging out more often and soon enough I only saw Lilly during class. It was so hard to go through with it. But it had to be done to get my girl back.

And after a couple of weeks my plan seemed to be working. Lilly called and apologized for practically ignoring me the last few weeks. Everything seemed to go fine. Perfect even. Lilly and I started to hang out again. I felt like I would get my fairytale very soon. We were now at the end of our sophomore year of High School and all the girls were crazy abouth boys right? She would start to notice me in a different way soon enough.

I liked Miley. It may doesn't seem like it, but I really do. She's funny and smart and extremely pretty. Even though in my eyes nobody could ever compare to my blonde haired princess. Lilly and I drifting apart for awhile, wasn't really her fault. My girl just needed someone else for a while and Miley was someone you could count on. And I loved her for that. She wouldn't let us down. No matter what happened, she would always be there for Lilly and I. The southern girl had something that just made you forget you worries.

Summer was approaching fast and I had been making plans for all of us. Yes I wanted to include Miley as well. I had no reason to feel threatened by the other girl. Miley and Lilly were meant to be friends. I can see that now. Just like I can see how Lilly and I are meant to be everything.

I wanted us all to go on a 2 week long camping trip. Miley, Jackson, Lilly and I. Everything was planned, we just needed permission from our parents. Lilly was thrilled and her parents even allowed her to go. Nothing could ruin our summer. Spending time with my two best friends and the girl I was hopelessly in love with.

Of course something crossed our plans. Miley's family was supposed to go back to Tennessee over the whole summer. There was no way of getting out of it. I told them that we were sad but that we understood that they couldn't come. That had to mean it was going to be just Lilly and I on the trip. Yet again i thought wrong. Lilly wouldn't go without Miley.

All my plans for summer had been cancelled. But you should always look for the bright site, right? With Miley and Jackson in Nashville it was just Lilly and I for the whole summer. Everything was finally gonna change.

The Stewarts were scheduled to leave the in a day and I couldn't be happier. But I've never seen Lilly as sad as in the last week. Her and Miley were spending every freaking minute together. Always laughing together and goofing around, but if you looked really closely you could see the sadness in both of their eyes. Seeing my girl hurting like that was heartbreaking. Even more so because it was someone else that was making her feel those intense emotions.

The girls were supposed to spend the day at the beach so I was more than surprised to see Lilly at my door. The first thing I noticed was the intense color of her eyes. The dull sad look was gone. Instead they were shining in bright green and were clouded with happiness. You could say I was more than confused. Why was she so happy? Was Miley going to stay in Malibu?

My girl smiled so brightly as she told me how Miley's father invited her to come along to Tennessee. Her parents allowed her to go for 6 weeks. Six weeks she was going to spend away from me and she didn't seem the least bit faced. It was just the exitement for the trip, right? She just didn't want to show her sadness. She told me she was going to miss me and that she would write and call every week. Every week? I wanted to spend every second with her and she wanted to call or write once a week? Before I could argue and talk her into staying with me she hugged me and told me she had some serious packing to do. Yet again my plans and hopes for his summer had been shattered. I wasn't going to see her for nearly two months.

It's safe to say that this was by far my worst summer so far. Lilly called 3 times and wrote me exactly one email. Not once has she told me she missed me. Or that she wished I could be there with her too. She only ever talked about how beautiful everything was and all the things Miley was showing her. It was 20 minutes total of Miley here and Miley there.

I was a barely living mess these first 6 weeks of summer. All I could think about was how my girl was half way across the country and I was stuck here. I missed her so much it hurt. It hurt even more that she didn't even seemed to think of me. Hasn't she realized we're soulmates yet? This was all moving to slow for me.

I don't know how but I made it through 5 weeks and 6 days without my blonde angel. She was coming back home tomorrow. The day I was awaiting for so long. I was going to suprise her. Picking her up from the airport and then we would head straight to the beach. Her all-time favorite spot on earth.

My mom was taking me to the airport and the anticipation was nerve-wrecking. I stood directly in front of the gate my girl would walk through any minute now. Sweat was dripping from my forehead and my hands vere more than a little clammy. Just when I thought I couldn't wait any longer I caught a wave of blonde hair. I looked closely and the smile on my face reached from ear to ear. Lilly was back and she was headed my way. She looked so beautiful. She wore simple flipflops with a dark pair of skinny jeans. Combined with a white I 3 Nashville t-shirt. When my eyes finally reached hers I was shocked. She was supposed to be just as happy as me. She should be smiling just as brightly as me. But she was not suppoded to look like this. She looked exactly like she did before she decided to join Miley's trip. The sad shadow in her eyes was easily visible even ten feet away. She greeted me with a light hug and a "Good to see you again Ollie". Where was my bone-crushing-heart-stopping embrace or the "I missed you so much. I wanted to come home weeks ago"? Were was the hello I deserved for loving and missing her so much?

Jet-lag? Tired from the long flight? Of course, nobody liked long flights. Ok nashville wasn't that long of a flight, but still across the country. She must be more than tired.

I was just gonna let her rest for the day.

The next morning I was up with the sun. Lilly and I decided to meet and catch some waves.

She seemed still a little down but her eyes were a bit brighter today. I needed to know what made her so sad. She shot me a guilty look and told me how much she loved it on Miley's farm. She just didn't want to come back so soon. She told me about the animals and a small river her and Miley always went to. Miley teached her how to ride a horse and took her to all her favorite places. I couldn't help but notice the sadness fade from her eyes as she told me about the amazing time she had. She never asked me about my summer.

We decided to just lay in the sand for a while when a phone went off. A bright smile came to her face as she spoke to the other peron. I could only assume who she was talking to.

After a few minutes she closed her phone and turned to me. Her eyes were a completly different shade now. One I had never seen before. She told me how Miles decided to come home early. She was going to be here tomorrow evening. I noticed the light red blush on her cheeks as she told me how much she missed her already.

That was the first time I was worried. Had I really been replaced by Miley? Did she mean much more to Lilly now than I did? We didn't see each other for six weeks and she left Miley just yesterday. There's something I don't see. Maybe she's embarressed to tell me how much she missed me? Maybe she thinks I only see her as a friend? I really need to figure out what she's thinking. I can't lose her. I just can't. Why don't I seem important to her anymore? Oh my god! What if she met someone in Tennessee? Someone who brainwashed her into thinking she was in love with him? Made her lose her mind and forget all about me?

I was so blinded that I couldn't see what was happening in front of me. I was so obvious to it all.

It was the middle of our junior year when I started catching on. After returning from Tennessee somthing changed betwenn Miley and Lilly. I just coldn't put my inger on it. And much to my dismay the girls had grown even closer over the time.

Both girls were getting more and more noticed in school. Sometimes I was shocked at how the other boys talked abouth them in the locker room. They were my best friends. And even if Miley stood in the way of Lilly and I, I still didn't want anybody saying such things about her. But most of them were just angry. Hurt in their pride because the girls never agreed to go on any dates.

Around that time I started to notice some changes between Miley and Lilly. They were closer than any other girls in our grade. So close that certain people started to talk about them. Of course I didn't believe any of it. My girl wasn't like that. Maybe Miley but most certainly not Lilly.

Their closeness wasn't just on a emotional base. It was ike they needed the touch of the other. No 5 minutes went by without them connecting in the physikal way. Touching each others shoulder, holding hands and even long hugs became normal occurance.

Soon I would be the one Lilly wanten to be connectod to 24/7. It was just a matter of time before something happend between us now. I could feel it.

Still it hurt seeing them like this. I always told myself that the people talking about them were stupid. They all couldn't see the band between my and Lilly. Nobody could anymore. But they used to. And soon they will again.

I started to watch them. To spend attention to every move they made. Soon I noticed that it wasn't just the touches. The looks were even more intense. Whenever they weren't close to the other one, both girls eyes locked. Their stares became so intense that I had to look away. Weren't these longing looks supposed to be mine? Shouldn't I be the one, who got all the shy secret smiley from Lilly? Miley seriously needed to back off.

Somehow she draw my girl in. I don't knw how she did it, but it needs to stop now. I decided to tell her about my feelings for Lilly. Then she would see. She would help to finally get my girl. Miley was going to be happy for us. Just like I was happy for them and their friendship.

The day I wanted to tell Miley to back off, was day day my whole world shattered.
