THE GOSSIP
JOSH BUTLERTUESDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER 200800:02"SO MUCH DRAMA..."The weekend was perfect. Awesome. Loved it. Not only did I have another weekend of birthday celebrations, but I've also bagged myself a date with Lilly Jenson for each day of this week. Oh yes. Well, how did you do that, I hear you ask? I let me explain.......
Lauren's flat warming party on Saturday was great. She went to loads of effort and gathered loads of people together for it, Lilly was so surprised when she walked in with all of her shopping bags. She greeted everyone before he eyes clicked onto mine and she seemed really surprised that I was there. She came over and said hi and seemed a little shy. I apologised again for calling her so late the other night but she was fine with it. After a while the alcohol was flowing and more people arrived but Lilly was sat by herself in her room. I asked Lauren if she was all right, but Lauren said she was really down, although she knew what would cheer me up. She told me they were playing this game where Lilly had to agree to every invitation to a night out etc she was given for the next two weeks... Lauren's attempt to get her back on her feet and out there and having a good time. So I knocked on Lilly's door and she was sat on her bed with a glass of wine looking really sad. I sat with her for a bit and eventually asked her what she was doing Sunday. She said she had nothing planned for the whole week, and I said that's perfect, how would she like to come back to Cambridge with me for my little party. I promised I would bring her back in time for uni etc etc and she finally agreed. Then I asked her whether she'd come out for coffee with me on Monday. I made up a bit of an excuse about making up for the things I broke, and she agreed with me too. When I moved onto Tuesday, she got a little suspicious and asked me if Lauren had put me up to this. I shrugged and just said Lauren told me she was free all week. So she finally gave in, and I took her to my party on Sunday, and for coffee yesterday. We're supposed to be going to lunch today, but that's not quite gone to plan....
Sunday was brilliant. Lilly looked so effortlessly gorgeous like always. All the guys were there and my family and everyone had a great dinner. Mum went to a pretty big effort like always. Ollie was there too, but I think him and Lilly have fallen out. Something's definitely happened between them anyway. When everyone was out in the gardens after dinner I overheard them arguing about something that happened at the party. She seemed a little bit upset, and I asked Ollie about it too but neither of them explained what happened, so I guess it's up to them to sort it out. Anyway Lilly ended up falling asleep in my room. I didn't really know what to do to be honest so I just kinda took her shoes off and put a blanket over her. I didn't know how comfortable she'd be sleeping in my room but she seemed all right with it in the morning.
Earlier today we went for a coffee but Lilly seemed really down again. I finally got it out of her that Jamie's been giving her a bit of grief, being all nicey nicey to her parents etc and her Mum's giving her a bit of a hard time about finishing with him. But then Jamie's sending her stupid texts being all twatty and so he's only doing it to get to her. She seemed to perk up after a bit when we sat down with coffee, until one of Summer's best friends walked past and almost screeched the whole coffee shop down. We overheard her say some really cruel things to her friends about Lilly, and Lilly got really upset and wanted to leave. I offered to walk her home but she refused. She didn't even look at me, she just mumbled a thank you for coffee and left, putting on her sunglasses so she was obviously nearly crying.
So now I feel really gutted for her, and maybe this whole week of 'dates' thing wasn't a good idea. Lilly's going to get a whole load of new grief from Summer for hanging out with me, and I'm guessing she's not going to let it lie. It's gonna be going round like hotwire that we're dating/shagging/whatever, and I can deal with all of it but I don't want Lilly having to put up with any more shit, it's not fair on her.
I know this makes me all sound really Lilly obsessed but more than anything I really do care about her. I just wanna see her happy, she's a great, great girl. I'm just pissed off with everyone that won't leave her alone.
So anyway I'm gonna get some sleep but I somehow don't think we're going for lunch in the morning. And the next option is to visit the library and get some books out, so off I trot...
