Chapter 2

Oprah

"Yes, I can't believe we're going on Oprah!" Hannah said. We are back stage and she is Hannah and I am Lola. "What do you mean 'we'? I can't go out there." I said. And I knew I couldn't because I had terrible stage fright. "Yeah you can," she tried to reassure me. "I'll be right there with you." And so knowing she was going to hang on with me I went out there with her when we were called. "And who would this be?" Oprah asked. Hannah told her "this is my best friend Lola." I winced when she said best friends. I didn't want to be just best friends. But I can't think about that right now. "Oh, how sweet is that?" Oprah said.

After the show Oprah caught up with us. "Umm excuse me Hannah, Lola, could I talk to Lola privately for a moment before you leave?" Hannah looked back and forth between Oprah and I then said "sure if Lola doesn't mind." I shook my head I didn't really want to talk to her but the curiosity was killing me. We walked back into a secluded area of the backstage area for privacy. "So what did you want me for?" I asked. "Well I just wondered…" and her she paused and said "do you love Hannah?" the question took me off guard. " Of course I do. She's my best friend." I replied. And I wasn't lying. She was my best friend, and I did love her just not how I intended that to sound. "That isn't how I meant. I mean do you love her in a romantic way?" Oprah asked smiling like she already knew the answer. "Am I that obvious?" I asked shyly. She laughed and said "kind of but its ok. Obviously Hannah hasn't noticed." It was weird how she just accepted it like it was the most natural thing in the world and when I asked her about it she said " did you see the one lady doing my makeup backstage?" and she pointed to her, " she is my girlfriend." I smiled and said that I was very happy for them and I was. "I want Hannah to be my girlfriend and am so afraid to tell her for fear of rejection." I told her. Oprah told me to just tell her, that is what I plan to do tonight is just tell Miley how I feel and see how things go. I thanked Oprah for the advice and ran to catch up with Hannah.

When I finally caught up with her we went out to the limo. Her dad was waiting for us in the limo. We drove home and Miley and I were tired so we when up to her room. She let me wear her cotton pajamas and she wore her silk ones. I knew that she didn't like the silk ones because they were always cold when she got into them and took fifteen minutes for her body heat to warm them up so I offered her the cotton ones but she insisted on wearing the silk. I thanked her and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and she followed me. While I went right to the sink to brush my teeth she went to the bathroom. We were completely comfortable with each other. It was so cool but I simply couldn't tell her how I felt about her and it bothered me so I was going to tell her no matter what.

(Later that night)

Miley and I lay in bed watching a movie when I turned to her and asked her "Miley, what would you say if I told you I was a lesbian?" I guess she wasn't expecting that question because she took a minute to answer. "Umm I wouldn't mind. Like I would hate you or push you away because you're still my best friend and I still love you. I figure that you've known for a while and when I didn't know and you did I was still your friend and now we both know and you'll still be yourself and not change." Wow I can't believe her reaction. She was ok with me! "You sound like you've thought a lot about it. Like more than just tonight." She looked at me in amusement and said "well that was kind of what I imagined that you'd say to me when I told you that I'm a lesbian." I'm think I'm in shock. She's a lesbian! I have a chance. Now I just have to tell her. Come on Truscott you can do it! "Well do you think that...?" I started but she said "I'm sorry Lilly I don't mean to interrupt but I just have to tell you… I love you. And not just as a friend. And I can understand if you don't like me back in the same way but…" and this as far as I let her get because I kissed her. I didn't plan on it but I was just so happy and she was ranting.
