DISCLAIMER: This is me, not owning RFR.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Children, my children. I am soooo sorry that it took me 9 days to update. I'm a jerk… NO, I'm worse than a jerk. I'm a jerkbag.

Anyways, now that I'm done with all my subtle RFR references, let me formally thank every single one of you for all of those GORGEOUS reviews. I have 50 of them, and not a single one is a flame. I am SO proud. But, on a much sadder note, I must announce that although you all reviewed for a R-rated alternative, and I am so happy for all of the enthusiasm, that you will probably not be seeing one anytime soon. I will do one, eventually, I promise you guys that, but I'm having a hard time cranking out my ideas lately because of school. I'm hoping to maybe get to work on one over Thanksgiving break, but that's the earliest I can try for. I also have a few other fics in mind at the moment but I am so positively swamped at school that all I can even THINK of doing right now is updating this story. But I PROMISE, I will get this stuff up soon. I took the day off school today and got some stuff under control (including my immense lack of sleep) ad I'm hoping to maybe get a new fic up this week, as well as a few more chapters of this. But enough of me. Let's talk about THEM:

*~*~*~*

                "You had really sex with Travis?" Audrey's voice echoed in Lily's head once more and she sighed into the phone.

                "Yes, Audrey, we've been through this already. Get past it." Lily rolled over on her bed and stared up at the ceiling were she had plastered a photo of her, Robbie, Ray, and Travis. She sighed again and sat up, pressing the phone to her ear as Audrey's loud wave of chatter flowed over her.

                "…You know if I weren't over him I would totally hate you right now. But just because I don't like him doesn't mean I'm not jealous, he is so sexy…" Lily was starting to remember why she had disassociated herself with Audrey in the first place. She may have started caring about her appearance a little more, but just because she could get a date didn't mean she wanted to talk about it. After one week of her company she found that she preferred the guys occasional boy talk to Audrey's constant stream of gossip.

                "Alright, I get it Audrey, he's hot, the sex was great. We're done with this part of the conversation. I have a major problem right now. I don't know what to say to him anymore, it's obvious this isn't turning into a relationship. But it's not like I don't want to stay friends, but, I mean, I told you what happened. What am I supposed to think?" Lily could hear an audible sigh as Audrey abandoned the image of a naked Travis and tried to concentrate on the problem at hand.

                "Well, why don't you say that to him, then-" Audrey began, but Lily cut her off.

                "Audrey, I told you what happened. I don't want to talk to him."

                "All because he walked out after sex, Lil? Hun, it was probably his first time, too, maybe he was in shock or something… I don't know, but you shouldn't take it personally."

                "No, you had to see the look on his face, it was like… pure disgust or something. I mean what am I supposed to think of that?"

                "Umm, maybe he has a really religious family and he's not supposed to do it until he's married?"

                "Audrey, be realistic. It was something about me, I know it." Lily let out a grunt of frustration and sighed again. "And, I mean, it doesn't help that I can't stop thinking about him."

                "Yea, well, sex might do that to you…"

                Lily muttered agreement and closed her eyes, picturing Travis, as the phone line fell silent for a moment.

                "Hey Lil…"

                Lily's eyes snapped back open, "Yea, Audrey?"

                "Do you love him?"

                Lily detected the slightest bit of longing in Audrey's voice as she asked the question. As popular and pretty as Audrey was, she seemed to have little luck with boys. Lily flopped back on her bed, staring at the picture on her ceiling one more time. Her eyes floated over Robbie, Ray, herself, and landed on Travis.

                "No. I don't."

A/N: Alright, there we go. You may have noticed that this chapter bears a striking resemblance to the last one, RIGHT? I know, I know, I suck. But the purpose of both these chapters were basically to get some much-needed information out there. If you don't understand who loves who, you are NEVER going to understand the rest of this story. Anyways, stuff heats up next chapter, it'll start to get good again, I promise. I'm hoping to MAYBE even get chapter 6 up later today, so keep your eyes open! Drop me a review, even though I've got plenty.
