First, I am so sorry for the wait. School and work has been rough the past month so I've had little time to write (and I've had writer's block whenever I did have time). Luckily, I only have a couple more weeks to go.
Anyway, this chapter takes place shortly after the online conversation between Oliver and Lilly.
Disclaimer: I own Hannah Montana as much as I own fanfiction. In other words, not at all...
Miley's POV
Boy am I tired. I haven't slept in a couple days. However, I can't go to sleep, no way no how. Not after what happened a couple nights ago. You see, the past few days, I have come to the realization that I'm in love with Oliver. Yes Oliver Oken, my donut best friend. You see, it all started with a silly bet with Lilly, in which I had to pretend to date Oliver for a week, in order to prove that I didn't love him. Oliver, being the great friend that is, agreed to participate in the bet. Needless to say Lilly was right and increasingly right every day. However, there is no way that he thinks of me as anything more. Sure he loved Hannah at one time, but that was a long time ago. A time before I wised up and saw how great he is. But now he is long past that crush. That does not make me love him any less though, which becomes a problem at night.
You see, whenever I feel guilty about something or I'm bottling down really strong feelings, I sleepwalk. And when I sleepwalk, I tend to go and blurt the truth to anyone that the feelings pertain to.
So a couple nights ago, I went to sleep and started sleepwalking towards Oliver's house. Not only that, I was sleep-singing "If we were a Movie", on the way over there. Luckily, before I got to Oliver's house (or someone heard me and put two-and-two together), Jackson caught up to me and shook me awake. Apparently he was watching "wrestling" (a.k.a. soap operas) when he saw walk out the door. For the first time since I can remember, that monkey I call a brother actually did something right.
Although he spared me from humiliating myself that night, I am struggling to stay awake. I have been drinking energy drinks (which can't possibly be healthy) to get me through the day, but I know I'm going to crash eventually. However, I am not ready for another sleepwalking session just yet.
"HEY MILEY!" yelled Lilly, breaking me out my trance. I wonder how long she's been here.
"Jeez Lilly, you don't have to scream!" I responded, snapping at her more than I really wanted to. I'm just so tired.
"Yes I do have to scream. I've been calling your name for the past 5 minutes without a response. I guess somebody's been daydreaming about someone…Oliver perhaps", says Lilly.
"Yeah I have", I say, feeling defeated.
"You know Miley denial isn't….wait….did you just agree?" she asks a bit startled by my agreement.
"Yeah, you're right. I think you've always been right. I love Oliver", I say.
"This is great! Not only will you two finally officially be together, but I'm getting a new Hannah outfit!" she exclaimed.
I raised an eyebrow at her for a second, but then I realized that she was talking about the bet. If she won, then she would get an outfit from the Hannah closet.
"Yeah that would be true, if Oliver felt the same way", I say. "Lilly let's just forget about the bet. Besides, according to the agreement, you had to date whoever I tell you to, if you lost. As much as it still disgusts me, I'm not going to break you and Jackson up".
"Miley you are so blind. Oliver has always been in love with you. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. You two are absolutely perfect for each other", says Lilly.
"I don't think so Lilly", I say.
"Ugh! And I thought Oliver was dense!" exclaims Lilly. "Fine Miley, let's just drop it. Besides you look like you're going to crash any moment".
"Yeah I haven't slept at all in a couple days. However, I have to stay awake. Otherwise, I might sleepwalk to Oliver's house again", I say.
"Fine why don't we watch a movie and if you accidently fall asleep, I'll be right here to wake you up", suggests Lilly.
"Ok" I agree.
I don't know what movie Lilly eventually picked, but I hope it keeps me…
Where am I? It looks like I'm standing in the back of a church and everyone is looking at me. Wait scratch that…I'm in the back of the church and walking down the center. There's wedding music playing. Wait, am I getting married?
Despite my mass confusion, my feet keep walking towards the front of the church. As I get closer I see that Oliver is at the front. I'm getting married to Oliver!
I finally reach him. He looks as handsome as I've ever seen him. However, as I get near him, I realize that he really isn't looking at me, he's look at something directly behind me. I turn around, and I see Joanie in a wedding dress. Oh no, he's getting married to Joanie! Quick I have to stop this.
"Oliver wait!" I yell, but get no response. Am I invisible or something!
"Oliver you can't get married to Joanie. I'm in love with you I know I've denied for pretty much ever, but it's true! You're sweet, you're loyal, you're cute, you're always there for me, you accept me for me, and I'm a sucker for brown eyes!" I yell, but still no response.
Fine, desperate times call for desperate measures. I then grab Oliver and pull him in for a kiss. I hear everyone in the church gasp. I guess I got everyone's attention now. However, I close my eyes because I'm not quite ready to see his stunned face.
I finally open my eyes and I see Oliver gaping at me, but something's strange. We're not in a church, we're inside his house and Joanie is nowhere to be found. Oh no, that was a dream and I slept walked here and must have said (and/or done) something to Oliver.
"Miley? Are you ok?" he finally asks.
"What just happened?" I ask, not sure whether I really wanted to find out.
"You just kissed me", he says. Oh no, I did kiss him.
"Oh my God!" I exclaim. "I'm so sorry, please don't hate me!"
I then run out the door and towards my house. I really need Lilly's help now.
Ok, so that was pretty much filler. This is probably the worst chapter in the story, but it does accomplish what I wanted.
As Always, reviews are appreciated.
