AN: Hey I just wanted to let yall know that this chapter might be really
long. As I type this to you I'm still not finished writing it and its
already 3 pages according to word.
ALSO! I'm totally stoked right now cause the new RFR was just on, although I was sort of pissed the Ray and Lily only kissed to get rid of Veronica. And how annoying was she?
And I'm glad there was no Travis Audrey action, sorry to all the fans of those two. I do not like it. I find Audrey. I don't know. annoying I guess, she reminds me of Judy. oh well.
Oh and thanks for all the positive feedback. But Id like to know, is anyone a Megan and Travis fan because I find myself writing about them, and then I think "these people don't care, they just want lily and ray!" lol anyway. drop me a note and let me know. Thanks! _________________________________________________________________
Ray had stopped singing and looked at Robbie who gave him a nod of approval.
'Great' ray thought. 'Thanks a lot McGrath.'
Ray sat there for the next few minuets, with Robbie periodically looking up at him from his cartoon. He finally got fed up with waiting for Ray to make his move and stood up off of the hammock. Lily continued to play and looked up at Robbie.
"I am going to see what's going on at the café." Robbie said.
"Maybe you'll see Kim there." Ray said jokingly. Robbie had told him the story this morning.
Robbie smiled sarcastically. He looked at Lily, "you want anything?" he asked.
"No, thanks" she replied and watched her friend walk away.
Lily remained playing her guitar as Ray got up and sat on the hammock and watched her. He wanted her so much. He couldn't quite tell if he was in love with her though. When he wasn't around he wasn't quite the same. He was happier when he was around her that was for sure. And he did love her, they'd been friends since they were two. But he didn't know if he was in love with her.
"Ray?" Lily asked, noticing that he was thinking about something.
"Hm?" he said snapping out of it.
She smiled. "Want to go for a walk?"
"Travis?" Megan asked as she climbed up to the observation deck.
He looked over at her surprised. He was setting up his telescope in front of a seat, which resembled a porch swing. He smiled.
She held up the blanket in one hand and the coffee in other. "Though you might want some company." She said.
"Definitely." He said offering her a seat. She walked over and sat down wrapping the blanket around her but leaving some for him and handed him the coffee.
"Thanks." He said.
"No problem." She said as she opened hers. "So?"
He looked at her. "What?"
"Well, I've been debating about what to do tonight with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, after today, at school, I felt horrible, Travis"
He sat down next to her. "Yeah, me too."
She looked at him and he smiled. She smiled back.
"What?" she said.
"Thanks."
"I half expected you to say I'm sorry." She said joking.
"I thought id change the pace."
"So. what can we see out here?" she asked looking up.
"What do you want to see?"
"Mars."
He laughed. "Well, number one it's not currently in sync with earth's orbit. Meaning."
"It's not close enough, which doesn't make it bright which means I can't see it."
He smiled.
"I know things, I just don't know when or what is in orbit."
"What else?"
"What about the Gemini?"
"Are you a Gemini?"
"Yes" she said proudly.
"I can try to find it for you, but we might be a few months early."
While Travis got a few things in view of the telescope for Megan, she watched him. She hadn't decided how she felt about him yet. But then she though, if you have to decide how you feel about someone then you don't really feel anything, if that makes sense. She wanted to be there for him, she wanted to be needed. And not just to be needed, she wanted to be needed by him. She watched him and sighed.
After he set it up and she was looking at things he though about her. He liked her as a friend, or so he thought. He often found himself thinking about her and not being able to concentrate on whatever he seemed to be doing when she was around. This was weird for Travis. He had never felt this way about anyone mainly because he didn't know how, or he didn't let anyone in. he had stayed in Roscoe for a while though, so maybe this would work out for the best.
Ray and Lily walked up the bank by the pond. It was a large pond and it looked gorgeous with the current Christmas decorations the park had set up on the trees. Ray was trying to act cool and Lily knew something was up with him.
"This is nice." Ray commented. Lily had noticed the changes in her friend. She liked it but part of her was missing the old Ray. She still wanted to punch him when he said something stupid, or roll her eyes at his stupid jokes but she hadn't found herself doing that lately.
"Yeah." was all she could come up with to say.
"Lily. I really ant to tell you something but I'm scared to death."
She stopped and looked at him. "Is everything all right?"
"I hope so." He said with his eyes still on the water. "Lily, for a while now, I've. been trying to tell you that."
She raised an eyebrow, as he looked her straight in the eyes.
He smiled, trying to be confident and handed her a rose.
She smiled. "Ray! What is this for?
"I think I'm falling in love with you."
Travis and Megan were now lying on the ground on the blanket looking up at the stars. They're heads were next to each other but they were lying in opposite directions.
"Why'd you leave Roscoe?" he asked her.
"The states just seemed, so fun. Plus, my brother is my whole life. And my mom and I weren't getting along at the time so I followed him."
"Why is he your life?"
She paused before she answered. "My brother is the only male in my life who I have ever trusted, or done anything for. And I know in a heartbeat he'd gladly give me his life. He loves me, and annoys me when I want him to and steps back when I don't."
He smiled. "I wish I had that."
"An older brother?"
"Or a younger sister, it sucks being an only child"
"It also must suck moving around a lot"
"You have no idea."
She turned her head and looked at him. He looked back at her, and then away not trusting his lips.
"For once, I just want to have my room in my house and have my school and my friends."
"Tell me about your mom." She asked, testing his trust in her.
He faintly smiled. "She was amazing. She was always worried about me. Whenever I would go out in the cold I had to have a jacket. Or if I was fixing a broken machine, she was always close by, or cutting me carrots."
Megan smiled. "So you wouldn't get shocked?"
He nodded. "She's kind of like your brother. My life."
"Travis.." She said still looking at him.
He looked at her and they kissed.
"What?" Lily asked him.
He stood silent. He had just told his best friend that he loved her. What the hell was going on?
"Ray." she said.
He didn't think this would be good but he stood there, proud. He smiled. "Yeah. I like you Lily."
She didn't know what to do. "Ok." was all she managed.
He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and continued walked back to the campsite with her. There was silence but it was a good silence. For some reason Lily didn't mind the fact of what Ray had just told her. In fact, she almost had been expecting it. She liked Ray too, but was unsure of what she wanted from him.
Travis quickly sat up, as did Megan, shortly after him.
"I-."
"Just don't say you're sorry."
"I'm not sorry." He said. "But I'm." he stopped.
"What?" she asked.
"Nothing, should we get back down?"
She looked at his watch and nodded. He could tell she was disappointed.
He slowly leaned his forehead against hers and lightly kissed her again. "I need this." He whispered.
She nodded and followed him back down to the campsite.
Robbie returned to see that none of his friends had. He sighed. "Alone again, next thing you know, they wont be showing up to the show." He sat back down on the hammock holding his hot chocolate he had gotten from the café. He slowly drank it thinking to himself. He slowly shook his head and finished his chocolate as Ray and Lily approached.
Lily was laughing, with Ray telling her the jokes.
"Hey." Robbie welcomed them.
"Hey." Ray said.
"Where were you two?"
"We went on a walk."
"How'd it go?"
Lily smiled. Ray had a look on his face that told Robbie he took one step too far.
"It went.. Well" Lily said.
Robbie smiled.
"Where's Strong?" Ray asked sitting down.
"Somewhere with Megan I'm guessing." Robbie replied.
"Actually, right here." Travis said as he walked up.
"Hey Swami."
"Ray, how many times?"
Ray shrugged and reached over and grabbed some chips.
"So, where were you two?" Lily asked Megan.
"We were up at the observation deck."
"Yeah? Is it nice?"
Megan smiled. "It was gorgeous."
Travis watched her and smiled to himself and Robbie caught this.
"So now that Ray and Lily are. what? Almost a couple?"
Ray blushed and Lily smiled biting her lower lip. Megan looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Lily returned this with an ill tell you later look.
Robbie finished, "What's the deal with you two?"
Megan looked at Travis who looked back at her and couldn't stop his smile.
"Well that answerers that question." Lily said.
Robbie sighed.
