A/N: Sorry it took like forever for me to update but I have been having a really rough week. You can tell by the story I quickly wrote up called 'Not Worth My Tears.' I have also been getting really stressed out about homework so whenever I get a change to write I take it. Writing calms me down and lets me express my feelings. I hope you like this chapter!

The bright sunlight shone through the open curtains waking me up from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes and stretched out in bed. Miley had already made her bed and disappeared. I slipped on my slippers with my cozy housecoat and walked up to the glass door which led to the balcony. I sighed looking outside. It looked like the perfect picture to paint. The white snow covered the ground so perfectly and the green trees had snow on every branch. The sun was starting to peak through the thick clouds giving off very little light. It looked beautiful. It also looked like the perfect day to go skating. I was defiantly looking forward to going skating again.

I made my bed and took a quick shower getting ready for the day. I put on a pair of skinny jeans with a long sleeve shirt which was the color peach, threw on a bit of makeup and blow dried my hair. I did one last mirror check before heading out the bedroom door.

I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. I was a little a taken back by what I saw. There was Miley and Oliver sitting at the kitchen table but there was another girl sitting in between them. The girl had chocolate brown hair and looked a lot like Savannah. Maddie, I assumed. They all looked at me as I walked into the kitchen.

"Morning" I said.

"Lilly, I'd like you to meet my cousin Maddie." The girl stared at me with her chocolate brown eyes and smiled. "Maddie, I'd like you to meet my best friend Lilly."

"Miley has told me a lot about you, you seem like a really nice girl." I smiled. "She also told me that it was your first time skating yesterday and you did quite well. I remember my first time skating, I was horrible."

I could tell this girl really liked to talk. "I was okay" I said. "I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of Oliver." Oliver lifted his eyes off the eggs he was eating and smiled at me.

"I think the four of us should go skating later. It will be fun!" Maddie suggested.

"Defiantly!" I said.

I grabbed some breakfast and sat down next to Oliver. I ate some pancakes and eggs and gave my leftovers to Oliver. I continued to listen as I sat there listening to Maddie talk about herself. Maddie seemed friendly but she also seemed like the kind of girl who talks nonstop. It's a good thing her bedroom was on the third floor beside her parent's room instead of being on the second floor beside mine.

Miley and Maddie soon left to go get change leaving Oliver and I alone. "So, what do you think of Maddie?" I asked Oliver.

"Well she's pretty, funny, nice, and seems like a really fun girl to be around" he replied. I wasn't expecting that answer. Did he really think she was pretty? Was she prettier than me? What did Oliver think of me? "What do you think of her?" Oliver asked.

I hesitated for a moment. "She seems friendly" I replied.

There was an awkward silence. I was wondering what Oliver was thinking. Was he thinking of her? The way her dark hair bounces on her back every time she walks or the way her brown eyes twinkle when she talks. I didn't say another word; I just got up off the chair and walked up to my room.

"Time to go skating!" Miley said as she threw my jacket my way. I caught it and slipped it on. We walked down the stairs and there was Oliver and Maddie. They were already ready and were talking fairly close. I rolled my eyes as I walked down the last step and put on my boots.

"Alright let's go!" Miley exclaimed. Oliver and Maddie's heads shot towards us. Did they even realize we were there?

Oliver draped the black bag full of skates over his shoulders and we headed out into the cold. We walked in the snow and through the trees to the ice rink. I walked further ahead as Miley, Oliver and Maddie walked behind chatting away. It's not that I didn't like Maddie it's just Miley and Oliver seem to enjoy her company more than mine. I wasn't actually getting jealous of Maddie, was I?

When we arrived at the ice rink Oliver placed the bag down and got out four pairs of skates. I waited for the others to tie up their skates so I could get help with mine. I attempted to get them on but it was a complete fail. Oliver helped me tie up my skates as Miley and Maddie went on the ice. Maddie did one lap around with no problems then started to do some continuous spins and turns. She wasn't just a skater, she was a figure skater. Oliver stopped tying my skate to watch her.

"Wow" I heard him say.

"Oliver?" I asked.

"Sorry" he said and continued tying my skate. Every now and then he would glance over at Maddie. I don't think he even wanted to skate with me anymore. Okay, so maybe I was acting jealous but now I had a reason to; Oliver was about to ditch me for a girl he just met.

"Alright let's get you on the ice" he said. I wasn't expecting him to say that but I took it anyways. Oliver helped me off the ground and onto the hard ice. I took a couple steps then tried to go a bit faster. I thought I had the hang of it until I lost my balance and fell but was caught just before I hit the ice.

"Slow down. You're still learning." He said. I nodded and continued to follow Oliver's instructions.

Skating wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be but it wasn't nearly as much fun as yesterday. I sat in my bed just thinking about the day's activities. My mind kept wandering off to Maddie. Did she like me? Was she trying to take my friends away from me? Was she falling for Oliver? Or was I just becoming delusional?

I shook those thoughts out of my head and walked down stairs for a glass of water. I got a cold glass of water and drank up every last drop. I put the empty glass into the sink and walked to the living room hoping to have some alone time by the fire place. Instead, there was Oliver and Maddie sitting close on the couch talking away. Their backs were facing me so they hadn't seen me walk into the room. I hid behind the door and peaked in. They were talking and laughing. Oliver would say something and Maddie would laugh, Maddie would say something and Oliver would laugh. I couldn't hear what they were talking about because they were talking in a whisper. I saw Maddie bring her face close to Oliver's and whisper something in his ear. I felt many disturbing emotions run through me. I was brought into a flashback of earlier on the trip when Maddie had not arrived. From the time in the bus to the snowball fight to the skating. It all seemed perfect. But as soon as Maddie arrived everything has been going downhill. That's when I realized it. After all these years I finally realized that I was in love with Oliver. I looked at Oliver, He was smiling bright. That was it, I couldn't watch anymore. I felt a single tear slide down my cheek as I ran to my room and fell on my bed.

A/N: So I had two different endings to this chapter, this one and a totally different one that would change the whole story around. I decided to go with this way because it would make the story more dramatic…I think. Tell me what you think.

The next chapter might not be up for awhile because I have three projects due this week that I have to finish and one midterm. So don't be shocked if it takes a week and a bit for me to update. Thank you all!
