Didn't stop me

Oliver Oken, I loved him ; He loved me, Lilly Truscott, but nothing ever went smoothly for us. He moved to New York and I miss him loads. Everyday I thought about him. As my 16th birthday party approached, i was finding it even harder. To my delight, he showed up. I spent the night with him, I loved it. When I woke, he was no longer beside me. He was on his way back to New York. I managed to say goodbye. This was the start of the worst summer ever. Each and everyday, I had to live without him. My mom was fed up with it and let me go on a holiday with Miley. At the airport, the best moment of my lifer occurred, followed by the worst. I saw Oliver, he returned. I ran over to him and we started to kiss, passionately. Stupidly, I stepped back on to the road and a car came fiercely at me. I thought I was going to die. I woke up in hospital to see all my friends and family all together. Even though I had broken a few bones, it didn't matter because I was with Oliver again, I loved him and he loved me, right?

I recovered and returned home. Not long of the summer remained but with each moment I had, I spent it with Oliver. We were so much in love. Sadly, I was still in crutches which made everything we did so much harder. Of course, we still got together with Miley but not quite as much. We didn't think she cared, she didn't act any differently. She was just, Miley.

The end of the summer came and the night before we started back school we met up at my house, the three of us. I hadn't been looking forward to school bit I was slightly optimistic.
"I think school will be easier now" I said "Ok for you to say. You'll have your tounge down his throat half the time anyway," Miley replied sharply.
This was the first time I had notice a change in Miley. I felt guilty, I didn't mean for her to think that.
"Miles, I'm sorry I didn't mean that in that way-"
"Ok Lilly, whatever..."
Something was seriously up with Miley, she had never acted like that before. The night when on and she practically ignored me. She only answered to Oliver. What had I done to deserve this? I could tell Oliver could also tell her strange behaviour.

Oliver and Miley walked home together later, she must of told him something about why she was acting strangely with me, surely. Curious, I called him. I knew it was late but I hoped he wouldn't be too mad.
"Hello?" he moaned, obviously tired.
"Ollie?" I asked "Oh Lilly, what's up?"
"Miley, why was she acting so strange with me tonight? She must of told you on the way home tonight."
"Strange? She wasn't acting strange, not that I noticed."
"What?" I whispered, confused. Oliver obviously noticed her strange being earlier, had he forgot?
"Oliver, she hardly spooke to me. Why?"
"No reason. I have to go, Night"

He never said I love you. My heart started pounding. What was going on? 'Does he not love me anymore?', 'Is he cheating on me?','Have I done something?'. So many question ran through my mind. Something wasn't right.

My mom had to drive me to school the next day; there was no way I was attempting to walk with crutges. We stopped off at Oliver's, I had planned to walk with him if I could. I ran his door bell but was surprise when his mom answered.
"Hi Mrs Oken, Is Oliver ready?" I asked.
"Sorry Lilly, he already left with Miley"
My heart sank.
"Thanks" I said and walked away.

When I first got into school, couldn't find Miley and Oliver anywhere. I searched every where, the lockers, the cantine, the science lab, everywhere. I eventually found them outside beside the wall. Oliver looked angry, almost as if he was shouting at her. I hobbled over.

"Hey guys" I said, putting on a smile.
"Hey Babes," Oliver replied keeping his eyes on Miley the whole time. "Am I missing something? What's going on?" I questioned "Nothing," they both said in unison.

Classes went in too slow. I had no one to talk to because both Miley and Oliver were very awkward and didn't speak, even to me. What was going on? Were they not telling me something? I felt hurt, almost betrayed. They would walk together whispering about stuff while I'd be left to limp after them.

Before Oliver had left for New York, we used to walk around holding hands, me and him. It felt good, everyone else looked up to you for once and most importantly, I loved him, with all my heart and even just to have our skins to touch was enough to put me into heaven. Today, He hardly said three words to me, never mind hold my hand. Had they forgotten about me? Why was this happening? What had I done?

The last school bell rang and I stood in my usual spot waiting for Miley and Oliver so we could walk home together. The way the day was going, I expected them not to show up, but they did.
"Hey Lilly," Oliver said, smiling.
"Hi," I replied.
They were acting normal again I thought at first. Wait, Oliver didn't kiss me, hug me or even take my hand. I started to think he had forgot everything that had happened for the last 6 or so months. We continued walking home but it was awkward. Not much was said.

That night I sat in my room alone. I was scared. Why was Oliver acting so strange with me? I was annoyed, mostly with myself. I loved him, truly I did, but I was getting the feeling he didn't love me back. Maybe he was trying to give me hints that he was going to dump me sometime soon. That would destroy me. What could I do? I thought about calling him but what if he dumped me, there and then. I decided it was best to avoid him for aslong as possible.

I then thought of Miley. She was my bestfriend, I couldn't avoid her. Maybe I should talk to her. I stood up from my bed, grabbed my jacket and left for Miley's house.

I slowly walked to her house, reahersing what I was about to say in my head. 'I really don't think Oliver likes me. Has he told you anything?' I was worried at the answer she would give me. I reached her driveway and started to walk until I heard Oliver's voice saying "Miley, we can't-" he stopped

I looked up to see them kissing. Pasitonatly kissing, like when I first kissed Oliver. We were on the beach and Oliver finally admitted he loved me and we kissed. Now, I was staring at my best friend kiss my boyfriend. I froze, not knowing what to do. 'Do I walked away, or do I say something?' I thought to myself, 'Do I let them know I was there?' I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I was in too much shock. Eventually I managed to speak. "Oliver...," I said weakly. He turned around in shock.
"Lilly, this isn't what it-" he tried to explain. I couldn't listen.

I ran off back to my house. They shouted after me. I told myself not to turn around but as I approached my door, I couldn't help myself. Miley's house was in seeing distance from mine and outside of it, there they were, holding hands. I burst into floods of tears. Why? Why had he done this? What had I done to deserve this? In 24 hours, my life had changed completely. Last night I sat with Miley and Oliver, my best friend and boyfriend, now neither of them mean anything to me.

When everything was starting to take place, everything was almost perfect, he had to go and ruin it. I sat and cried for most of the night. I played music and thought. I soon came to a conclusion to my life. Me and Oliver were not meant to be. But even that didn't stop me from loving him.
