Lilly woke up again, with sweat pouring from her forehead. She had that same dream again but everything was a little more clearer, however she still couldn't figure out who the two strangers were. But they did look familiar.

She got out from her bed and made her way towards the kitchen. She was deep in thought, until the doorbell rang. Lilly shook her thoughts away and turned her gaze towards the door. She didn't know whether to open the door or not. The bell continued to ring and she knew it was James.

"Should I open it?" she thought.

After what happened last night, she was afraid of what he might do next. But then again, he was drunk after all and had no idea what he was doing.

She walked towards the door and opened the door wide enough for her head to poke through. As she guessed it, it was James.

"Lilly, I'm sorry about last night, can we please talk?"

"About what?"

"About my behaviour last night."

Lilly opened the door wider to let him in. Even though she felt afraid of him, she still wanted to know what he would say.

Lilly closed the door behind her and made her way into the living room. James was already seated on the couch. Lilly grabbed a chair and sat far away from him.

After a moment of staring at each other, Lilly became annoyed.

"So what did you want to say?"

"Lilly, whatever I did to you, I had no idea, I was totally drunk!"

"I know you were drunk."

"Then do you forgive me?"

"Of course not. You don't just take your girlfriend to a club then wait for your friends to spike your drink and then do whatever you want with me!" I said angrily.

"It wasn't my fault. I didn't know they spiked it."

"It may not have been your fault, but I did warn you about your friends. They were bound to do something like that!"

"Okay, don't go blaming it on them now, this is between you and I!" he said with an aggressive tone.

"Oh, I see, so now the blame is on me?"

"I didn't say that!"

"Well, it was clearly you and your friend's fault!"

"Well what do you want me to do? Stop hanging out with them?"

"YES!" Lilly raised her tone.

"Fine, let's make a deal then."

Lilly stood frozen. This was not the boyfriend that she once liked.

"What deal?"

"If I stop hanging around with my friends, then you'll stop being friends with Oliver."

Lilly's mouth practically dropped open. How dare he even involve Oliver into this! I thought.

I shook my hedd in disagreement.

"Thought so."

Lilly raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You tell me to stop seeing my friends and you can't even do the same."

"Why are you even bringing Oliver into this? He didn't do anything wrong to you."

"Yes he did." he said a little more quieter.

Lilly stood up angrily. James looked up at her confused.

"GET OUT!" she yelled while pointing to the door.

"WHY?" he yelled back.

"Next time, don't you DARE bring Oliver into our fights!" she said with a threatening tone.

"You see, that's exactly what he did to me!"

Lilly started to calm down, curious to know what James meant.

"What do you mean? What did he do to you?"

"He's stealing you away from me."

Lilly stood there frozen. She did not understand what he meant by 'stealing'.

"He's just a friend."

"That's what you think. But I've seen the way you two stared at each other at your business party recently. The way he stared at you when you came down those stairs. The way he saw you at the restaurant."

Lilly stayed quiet.

"But your my boyfriend, and he's my best friend, nothing more." she finally said.

"Fine, then as your boyfriend, I want you to choose either me or him."

Lilly knew the answer to that question.

"I choose Oliver."

"So you rather dump the person you love for a friend?"

"If you loved me, you'd understand that nothing can separate Oliver and me."

"So you love him?"

Lilly stood there quietly, thinking very hard. Do I love Oliver? She thought. She liked him that was for sure. But love? She didn't know.

James walked over to Lilly and lifted her face so she was facing him.

"Do you love him?" he repeated.

"I don't know" she answered.

James dropped his hands from her face and angrily walked out and slammed the front door behind him. Lilly was left standing there still thinking about the question that was left unanswered. Do I love him? She once again thought to her self.

Meanwhile, Oliver was woken up by someone shaking him slowly by the shoulders. He opened his eye to see Miranda staring right at him. This made Oliver jump a little.

"Finally you're up." she said.

Oliver was still surprised she was talking to him.

"So you're talking to me now?"

"I wasn't angry with you in the first place."

Oliver looked down, feeling bad.

"Oliver, it's not your fault if you love Lilly more. I totally understand. You're a great guy and she's a great girl and you guys have known each other for so long."

"Well, it doesn't matter how I feel anyway, she has a boyfriend."

"Not anymore, she just called me saying she broke up with him this morning!"

Oliver was now wide awake. The thought of James and Lilly not together anymore made his heart beat a little faster. Was he meant to be happy? O was he meant to feel bad for Lilly. He remembered what happened last night and he was happy that James was out of her life. What he did to her was quite shocking.

"So I'm guessing you're happy about all this." she said was a small smile.

"I guess I am."

"Okay, now you can tell her about how you feel about her."

I looked at her in alarm.

"I can't do that!"

"Why not?"

"Because she just broke up with her boyfriend!"

"Listen Oliver, you couldn't tell Lilly about how you liked her because she had to leave. But now you got another chance to tell her everything!"

Oliver knew she was right, but he couldn't do it.

"You're afraid she would reject you, right?"

Oliver was quite surprised. Miranda knew so much about him!

"Oliver, just tell her, you never know, she might feel the same way."

"Alright, I'll tell her right now then."

Oliver got up on his feet and looked into the mirror. He fixed his hair up and straightened his clothes. There was no way he'd want to look bad when things did work out.

Oliver walked out of the house and made his way towards Lilly's house.

Lilly was pacing around her room still thinking. Do I love him? She kept asking herself.

She finally sat down and got her diary out. She didn't know who else to talk to so she wrote down about what she was feeling. She heard the doorbell ring and she quietly closed her diary. She left it lying on her bed as she made her way downstairs. She opened the door, revealing a nervous looking Oliver.

"Hey." Oliver said, starting to tense up.

Lilly greeted him back.

"I, uh heard about your break up."

"Miranda told you?"

Oliver nodded his head. He stepped in front of Lilly and gave her a small hug.

"How are you feeling?"

"Not too bad actually."

Lilly took Oliver by the hand and pulled him towards the kitchen.

"So anything you'd want to drink?"

Oliver shook his head. He wanted to just quickly tell her and get it over with.

Then Lilly's phone began to ring. Lilly picked it up. It was her boss.

"Sorry Oliver, have to get to work quickly. I'll be back very soon, so you can wait here if you'd like."

"Okay cool, I haven't really seen your house so I'll just explore it for now then."

Lilly grabbed her bag and gave a quick hug to Oliver and left. Oliver looked around him. Lilly's house was huge!

He made his way upstairs and walked into Lilly's room. The only thing that caught his eye was her wardrobe. It was massive! He started looking around and he was so bored so he opened one of the draws. He found a book. He opened to the first page. "Property of Lilly Truscott" it read.

He turned the page and was briefly skimming through it. It was Lilly's diary, he thought. He continued reading.

"Wow, I was a total jerk to her in high school!"

He skipped the part when they became friends again and stopped to the part where Lilly was going to tell Daren about how she was leaving. He continued reading what she wrote and he froze. Daren had told Lilly about how Oliver had liked Lilly. He also realised that Lilly didn't feel the same way.

Oliver felt his heart aching.

"So she doesn't love me."

He closed the book and popped it back into her draw. He stood up and made his way downstairs. He went to open the door but Lilly was already standing there.

"Hey Oliver, sorry I'm late." she said breathing hard.

"Sorry Lilly, I just got a call from Miranda and she wants me back at the hotel now."

Lilly was disappointed. She nodded her head as Oliver leaned in to give her a hug.

Oliver ran off with his hands in his pocket.
