It had been five days now. Oliver had a hard time telling everyone about how Lilly had passed away. After the news, he ran upstairs to his room. He couldn't bear this pain any longer.
"Can I come in?"
Oliver looked up to see Daren. Daren sat down next to Oliver.
"Be strong Oliver." he said.
"She loved me."
Daren looked at Oliver. He sighed and got up.
"Oliver, you haven't eaten in days, please just come downstairs."
Oliver stood up.
"Daren, can you promise me one thing?"
Daren turned to face him.
"What?"
"I want you to promise me that when I die, you will keep me next to Lilly forever."
Daren didn't know what he meant but nodded.
"I promise."
Oliver walked up to him and gave him a hug. Oliver left him standing there a little confused.
Oliver's POV
I walked out of my house, completely focused on where I was going. I couldn't think about anything else but Lilly. I just couldn't live like that. To know that I'll never her see again makes my heart stop beating. Why can't I just get her out of my head? This feeling was killing me.
Before I knew it, I had already stopped walking. I was at the cliff, looking down. It looked really high and scary. The rocks down there looked sharp. "Perfect" I thought. Lilly went through so much pain when she died and it was all my fault. If I could've just told her about how I felt that day, none of this would've happened. She could've been standing right here with me.
All I wanted now was to be with Lilly. I looked down at the cliff again and closed my eyes.
"I'm coming Lilly." I whispered to myself.
Daren stayed in Oliver's room a little while longer, but seeing as how he hadn't returned yet, he went back to his own home. Daren jumped onto his couch and turned on the TV. He turned to the news channel and took out his mobile. He started dialling Oliver's number.
Ring Ring.
That was all that could be heard. He continued waiting for someone to pick up.
Breaking News on Today Tonight.
A dead body had been found today near the rocks, which is just above the cliff. Police are finding evidence of what happened, but police believe that the boy may have committed suicide.
Daren dropped his phone and looked directly at the TV.
Daren could see the reporter making her way towards the dead boy. Daren bit his lip until it bled.
"Oliver" he whispered.
He switched the TV off and closed his eyes.
"I want you to promise me that when I die, you will keep me next to Lilly forever."
"I want you to promise me that when I die, you will keep me next to Lilly forever."
Those same words repeated in his head. He finally understood why Oliver said that.
