a/n:This is my second story posted here.I removed the other one because it apparently sucked.Well,I hope this one is better!

Disclaimer/I don't own Radio Free Roscoe.I would have the boys in my closet if I did!

Ray sat alone in his room.He had just lost his best friend,and true love,Hope Strong.He could'nt believe that she was gone.To him it did'nt seem real.Only a very bad nightmare.But he had to face it.Hope was gone,and she could'nt come back.

Ray had met Hope two years ago,and she was the best thing that had ever happened to him.Hope was nothing like her brother.Travis was weird and into zen.Hope was different,unique in her own way.

Ray and Hope had become the best of friends.There wasn't a day that went by that they did'nt see each other.She was always over at his house.

Even though they were close,Hope had a secret.A horrible secret.Hope was dying of accute myloid luekemia at the age of 13.She could'nt bring herself to tell Ray until a month before she died.

On December 26,2004 she collapsed while walking to Ray's house.The two were going to exchange gifts.When Hope did'nt show up,Ray went out looking for her.He found her lying in the snow in the woods outside of her house.

When Travis told Ray about Hope's condition,Ray vowed to stay by her side until the end.And he did,until the last minute.He was holding her hand as she died.Before she died,she looked into Ray's brown eye's and said,"I love you,Ray,and I always will."And then she was gone.

Now Ray was alone,he had lost his love,his joy.He had lost his Hope.

Well,what did you think?If you like it,please review!
