Me & You

Chapter 11. "Just be happy for me!"

Lilly's POV

"Lilly? Are you in here?" Luke asked as he knocked on the door.

"Y-yeah, give me one sec." I quickly wiped my eyes and all the dripping makeup before opening the door.

Luke wrapped me in a hug and kissed my head. "Are you okay?"

I shrugged.

"You still have feelings for him, don't you?" Luke pulled away and looked a bit disappointed.

"No, Luke! I'm with you, and I'm happy. It's just that Caleb was my first love, and I don't think I was ready for him to tell me that he still likes me because I moved on." I explained.

Luke nodded and hugged me again. "I understand. But instead of debating with your feelings in a bathroom and missing a fun party, how about we head out into the party?"

I smiled and grabbed his hand. "Sure, let's head out."

Everyone was dancing and hanging out as we walked back into the room. I noticed Caleb was in the kitchen away from everyone drinking punch.

Luke noticed I was staring, so he turned me back around to face him.

"Go, talk to him." He smiled and gently pushed me away from him.

"Thank you." I mouthed as I headed over to Caleb.

I stood next to him and took a cup of punch myself.

"Why are you here all by yourself? Shouldn't you be socializing and having fun? After all, this is your party." I said before taking a sip.

He shrugged. "It seems like everyone hates me now."

"Nah, they don't hate you, just me." I joked as I playfully elbowed him.

He laughed and playfully elbowed me back. Before I knew it, we were having an elbow fight and it ended with us laughing uncontrollably.

"I wish we could go back to being like this." Caleb said after we stopped laughing.

I nodded. "Me, too. So we should!" I turned to face him and I stuck out a hand. "Friends?"

Caleb looked from my hand to my face. Then he shook his head.

I looked at him with a confused look, my hand still out.

"Don't you get it? Didn't you hear anything I said earlier? I still like like you! It would be really hard to be your friend while you're dating Luke." Caleb said.

I put my hands on my hips. "So are you saying the only way we can be friends is if I break up with Luke and date someone else?"

"I'm not joking, Lilly. I can be your friend if you're single or if we start dating again. I'm still not over you. Our relationship was the best thing I've ever had, and I hate that I let it slip through my fingers. Please forgive me, and consider taking me back...?" Caleb said.

I scoffed. "Seriously? You just want me to drop everything in my life going on right now, including my relationship with Luke, just so we can be friends and start dating again? That's so selfish of you, Caleb!

"I get it, you're not over me, but I'm over you! I've moved on and I'm happy with Luke, because he was a better boyfriend than you were!

"He knows how to treat a girl right, when all you did was complain and want to start fights with me all the time!

"Caleb, I just ask for one thing from you; just be happy for me! And I'll be happy for you when you move on. And I still want to be your friend because I hate losing you!"

Caleb looked shocked at all the feelings I poured out. "Lilly, I'm sorry you felt that way. And I get it, you're happy with Luke and I'm happy for you. And you're right, I need to move on, too. And I'm about to right now."

I smiled as I watched Caleb walk over to Sydney.

"Sydney, I want to tell you something."

Sydney turned around and smiled at him. "Hey, Caleb! What is it you want to tell me?"

Caleb held her hands.

"I've liked you for a while now, but I was still caught up in my thoughts and feelings that I was too scared to tell you, but now I'm not. I like you a lot, Sydney, and I want you to be my girlfriend." Caleb admitted.

Sydney grinned. "Yes! I'll be your girlfriend!"

Everyone clapped as they hugged each other. Then, Caleb cupped his hands under her chin, pulled her close to him and kissed her.

Throughout their kiss, I noticed Caleb was eyeing me, maybe trying to make me jealous, but it wasn't working.

I know this may sound weird and probably stupid, but I felt like I shouldn't be happy, I felt like I shouldn't support this and that I should try to break them up.

But you know what? I didn't feel those emotions. I didn't feel mad, angry, jealous or upset.

I was happy. I was happy that he finally moved on, and that he could be happy like I am now.

But those feelings started to fade away that summer.
