Ch 10: I Don't Want To Go Back! - 3/10/07 - Saturday - 1:33pm
Riley Diane Brennon was pacing her room. Just yesterday her parents had called with some not so wanted news. With half of her thoughts, she was shaking her head. "No...Maybe I should tell him....I don't want to up and leave without him knowing....I wonder if he'll do a long distance relationship?" She shook her head, "I doubt it....it doesn't seem like something he would do...but I don't wanna break up with him...I don't wanna leave...I don't wanna go back to California!" Riley picked her phone up and dialed her old home phone number.
"Hello?" A woman's voice came over the phone.
"I don't wanna come back!"
"Honey, you're not eighteen yet...you don't have a choice."
"But mom--"
"I've had my say, you're father and I have agreed, we've had time enough and we want you to come back." With that, Sarah Brennon hung up her phone.
Riley turned the phone off and collapsed to her bed. She turned the phone back on and dialed Travis' home phone.
"Hello?" His mother answered.
"Mrs. Strong, is Travis there?" Riley held her composure with Mrs. Strong. She didn't want her worrying over her.
"No, hun, he's not here. Do you want me to have him call you?"
"No, it's ok..." She said, whipping away the tears. She dialed his cell number. "Come on...Travis...please...pick up..."

Travis was walking sitting in the exact center of the park, meditating when his cell phone rang. He opened an eye then picked it up. Riley Brennon 598- 7642. He turned the phone on. "Hello?"
"Travis....I...I need to talk to you..."
She sounded like she was crying, or had been at least, "What's wrong?"
"Wh-where are you?"
"I'm at the park."
"I'm gonna come to the park, ok?"
"O..ok.."
"See you...in a little while..." And she hung up.

3/10/07 - 1:48pm
Riley ran into the park enterence, saw Travis and ran to him. Travis had see Riley enter and was already standing. When she reached him, she fell into him, crying. Travis wasn't sure what was wrong or what was going on, but he pulled her to him and rubbed her back. "Riley..."
"I-I don't w-wanna go b-back...I-I wanna st-stay here..."
Travis frowned. "What?"
Riley lifted her head. "M-my parents...they...they want me to...t-to g-go back to...C-Cal-Califonia..."
"What? Why?"
"I wasn't supposed to...be here as l-long as I h-have been...it was o-only sup-posed to be about a month or s-so..."
Travis put his arm around her and led her to the nearest bench where the two sat down. Riley continued, "A-and...well...they...they w-want me to g- go back..." She leaned into him again.
"When are you supposed to go?"
"I don't know...I think Spring Break."
Travis thought about something for a moment. "You'll be eighteen before then."
Riley looked up at him, "Wh-what?"
"Februray twelfth..."
Riley frowned. "What?"
"Februrary twelfth..." He repeated, "Isn't that you're birthday?"
"No...It's June... " She leaned into his chest again, crying.
Travis closed his eyes and hugged her to him. I can't believe this....I can't....This can't be happening...
She looked up at him again, "I don't understand why...th-they changed their minds....I-I..." She swallowed, "I have...to change their minds back...I don't...I don't want to...go back to California..." She paused, looking down, then back at him. "If...If I can't get them to let me stay...would you...do a long distance re-relationship?"
Travis froze. He never really thought he could do a LDR. He always thought it was pretty pointless. He swallowed. "I....I don't know..."
"I-It's ok i-if you don't...think you could do it....I just want to know...." Riley was sitting up now.
"I..." Travis leaned foreward, his hands sliding up his face to cover his eyes. "I don't know....Riley...I....I just...I don't think....I don't think I could do it....I could try but..." The only reason he was bent over and had his hands over his face was because he didn't want Riley to see the tears.
"Travis?"
"Yeah?"
"No, Travis...look at me..."
Travis looked up at her, a few tears rolling down his cheeks.
Riley took his hand in hers, "Oh...baby...don't cry...I'm doing enough of that for the both of us....and...and plus, I could...I could still come and visit and stuff....ya know?" Another tear slid down her cheek, "Would..would that...be ok, Travis?"
"Baby I...I just don't know..."
For the first time in the last few hours, Riley smiled.
"What are you smiling about?"
"I...It's just..." She was grinning now.
"Riley..."
"That's the first time...you called me baby..."
"What?"
"Well...It's just...kinda weird...coming from you. A good weird but..." She threw her hands up. "You called me baby!"
Travis laughed a little. "It's not that big a deal."
"Yes it is! Travis Anthony Strong calling me baby? It's huge!" She giggled.
"You just giggled."
"So?"
"That's not exactly something I hear everytday."
She smiled and turned around. She leaned into him and Travis wrapped his arms around her. "Hey....maybe you can convince them to let you stay here...what do you think?"
"Yeah....if I can convince my dad...he'll got mom to it..."
