Uhm... so I haven't been in the HM fandom much, I've kinda shifted over to Glee now... but I was upset about something and wanted to write something. And for some reason this came out, which is crap so I am extremely sorry about that. I haven't been in a Moliver mood lately and all and haven't watched HM in a while either. I was also listening to Alice by Avril Lavigne when writing this, which is how I got the title. So read and if you can, enjoy?
When The World's Falling Down
"Miley?" The girl pause and frowned; she recognized that voice. She hadn't heard it in ages and now she wasn't exactly sure if she could face that person. Not ever.
"Miley, it is you!" The person sounded excited and Miley couldn't help but turn around and take off the huge sunglasses she wore and force a smile at his smiling face. She couldn't help her heart from skipping a beat when she laid her eyes on his face again, the one thing that made her whole world just seem bearable.
The one thing she missed most when she left those years ago.
"Hey Oliver!" Miley said, now sounding excited and giving him a huge hug.
"Why didn't you tell us you were coming back to Malibu?" He asked, when he pulled out of the hug but kept his hands rested on Miley's waist. Well, this was exactly why she hadn't told him in town, because he would have forced her into a meeting and she just would not be able to handle it. Truth was Miley hadn't seen Oliver since they were both 19, Miley then came out that she was Hannah Montana and went on to be a successful singer as her own person. Unfortunately that meant a lot of touring and very little time with friends. Now 6 years later and it just seemed nothing had changed for Miley.
In fact, she couldn't remember how she fell for Oliver herself. It really took a long time for her to realize it, but she realized it too late, Lilly had him. And if memory served correct, they were still together.
"I didn't want to bother you, with the paparazzi and all following me." Miley said and shrugged.
"Ooh, I see." Oliver said and nodded. "Well, since you're here you should come over to our place and see Lilly too. She'll be thrilled."
"Oh, you're living together?" Miley asked, trying not to let her voice break.
Oliver frowned. "Well, yeah."
"Uhm, yeah, I'll come around some time then." Miley said and then took a step back. "I should get going…"
"Wait, why don't we go have some coffee or something?" Oliver offered. Miley really wanted to say no, she should have said no but just couldn't help it. He just kept pulling her back into his life and she couldn't help but relent.
"Ok, sure." She said and cleared her voice, then falling into step as Oliver walked towards the nearest Starbucks he could find. The two got a booth in the back of the place and Oliver got them both coffees. They started talking about the old days and soon Miley felt at peace with him. However it all went away when they started talking about the present.
"So how are things going with Lilly?" Miley asked innocently.
"Oh, it's great. Being married for four months now." Oliver said and Miley almost dropped her coffee.
"Married?"
"Yeah. Didn't you get the invite? We just assumed you were too busy to come, though Lilly was upset as she wanted you to be her maid of honor."
Miley placed her hands on the counter top to stop from falling over. Married. Oliver was married. Married to Lilly. She couldn't help but look down at the gold band on his finger that he was now busy twirling between his thumb and index finger.
Then it came back to her, how this whole thing started.
"Oliver, give it back!" She said, trying to grab her cell phone out of his hands but he just wouldn't give it back.
"I'm sorry Lilly but Miley is going to have to call you back later. You are cutting into Miley and Oliver time, so I'll see you tonight. Bye sweetie!" Oliver said into the phone and then stuck his tongue out at Miley as he closed her phone and handed it back.
"I could have done that, you know." She said and sat down on her bed, looking up on him. This was all Lilly's idea; she was worried that her and Oliver dating would ruin Miley and Oliver's friendship, as they never spent time together anymore so she suggested they spend time together. However since Oliver arrived at the Stewart's house, all Miley had done was talk on the phone to Lilly.
"You know Miley, I get the feeling that you don't want to spend time with me." Oliver said as he sat next to her.
"It's just weird, we shouldn't be spending alone time together. This should be you and Lilly." Miley said, then lying down across the bed. She didn't expect Oliver to follow and hover over her face.
"We did spend time together before I started dating Lilly." He said.
"Yeah, but that was when our friendship was different. Now if your hurt my best friends heart, I'll have to break your arm." Miley teased and grinned.
"What about me? If Lilly hurts me?" He asked and honestly looked hurt about this. Miley couldn't help but laugh at this as Oliver continued to look confused. Miley made to sit up, thinking Oliver would move out the way as she did so but he was too busy trying to figure out what was funny to notice what was going on.
Which was how they hit heads, causing Miley to fall back on the bed and Oliver to follow. They both paused as his face was dangerously close to hers now. The atmosphere in the room changed suddenly and Miley couldn't help the beating of her heart which Oliver could feel as his hand was resting over her breast. Miley blushed as she realised this and was going to tell him to move his hand when he closed the space between their faces and his lips touched hers.
She should have smacked him and pushed him off her, but she couldn't. Instead she kissed him back, her hands moving from her sides on the bed, up his chest and then around his neck. Oliver removed his hand off of Miley's breast and put it on the bed to support his weight instead of crushing her as they kissed. Both of them lost any thought of what they were doing or what it could mean, all they knew was that they wanted each other.
As the kiss intensified there was suddenly a rush to get the other's clothes off and for their skin to touch each other. Neither one knew how far they would have gone had they not been interrupted. Oliver was in his boxers and Miley's shirt was off when they heard the front door bang and Robbie Ray's voice echo throughout the house. The two broke away, breathing heavily as they looked at one another.
Realization dawned across their faces and soon Oliver was off Miley and pulling his clothes on. Miley grabbed her shirt and fumbled with her bra that Oliver was in the process of undoing. She quickly pulled her shirt on and turned to see Oliver busy pulling on his pants, shirt already done. They looked at each other and knew that what happened had gone out of hand.
They made a silent promise to never think or mention of that again. Oliver left right after that and went straight to Lilly's. Miley couldn't help but sit on her bed, trying her best not to cry.
"Miley?" She felt his breath on her ear and jumped with a start and spun around to see him by her side, his eyes filled with worry for her.
She was crying, she could feel the wet tears on her face. Miley grabbed a napkin and wiped them away.
"I'm fine." She said. "I… I just can't believe I missed the wedding."
"Oh." Was all Oliver could say and then take his seat again. She looked over at him and knew this wasn't going to work, ever since that day their friendship had been reduced to pleasant comments to one another, mostly talking to each other through Lilly. Miley could see now that he was hoping for a redo, for them to be in the same place they were before.
But they were both just fooling themselves.
"We have a daughter." Oliver continued, not looking at her. Miley nodded. "We called her Rae."
She looked up. "Rae?"
"I wanted to call her Miley, but Lilly didn't want her daughter to be named after her best friend. So we went with Rae instead." He said, smiling. "She's got Lilly's eyes."
He was trying to make this as painless as he could, letting her know he had a life. A family.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why did you name her after me?"
Oliver paused here and then finally looked her in the eyes. "Because you were my first love. Her middle name is Hannah."
"What?" Miley asked, in shock.
"I'm sorry, this wasn't a good idea." He said, quickly looking away and then gathering his stuff. "I'm sorry I bothered you."
"No, wait." Miley said, standing up and stopping him. This was a way to start over; she could still have him in her life even though she couldn't have him. "I want to see Lilly. And meet Rae."
Oliver smiled and put his arm around her in a half hug. Once again Miley's heart started racing, but she tried to control it.
"Ok." He said and kissed her on the cheek. It was the small things like that that made it worth while.
I'm sorry about the bad ending...
