*~*~*~*

                It was almost 11:30 at night as Lily slipped out the window of her 3rd story bedroom and shimmied down the drainpipe. She could practically hear Ray humming the Mission Impossible theme song in her head. She slung her bag over her shoulder and set off in the direction of the station, she was planning on spending the night there. She needed to get out of her house.

*~*~*~*

                It was almost midnight as Ray flung himself at the red vinyl couch. He'd been at the station since Robbie and Travis left at 9:45 that night, and he didn't intend to leave anytime soon. He shifted uncomfortably on the cheap vinyl and closed his eyes, he needed to sleep and he knew it. But almost as soon as his eyes had shut they sprang open again. It seemed that every time he closed his eyes there were Lily and Travis doing the dirty on the turntables. "She just had to screw him." He said loudly into the darkness, to no one in particular.

                Just then, Ray heard the slam of the station door and someone stomping down the steps. The door to the station room opened and Ray sat up to see Lily flipping on the lights.

                He stood up just as she turned to around and realized she wasn't alone.  For a split second the two stood in a perpetual face off, both battling with their own minds whether to stay or go. Lily's head was screaming at her to talk to him, she needed someone who understood her right now.

                "Ray…"

                "I should go." He wanted to talk to her, but every time he looked at her the pain of betrayal came back. He wasn't mad at Lily, he could never be mad at Lily. But the thought of her with one of his former best friends hurt too much. He abandoned his backpack and headed straight for the door, but Lily caught his arm before he could leave.

                "Ray, please, just talk to me…"

                "What do you want to talk about Lily? Because I really don't want to hear about the size of Travis' penis… even though I'm sure it's tiny." Ray muttered the bitter after thought to himself but the pleading look on Lily's face didn't change. He sighed and looked her in the eyes, "I'm sorry, I really am, this isn't your fault, I shouldn't be a jackass."

                Lily dropped her bag on the chair in front of Shady Lane's mic and plopped down on the couch that Ray had been laying on only moments earlier. "I guess Travis told you what happened, then." Ray sat down next to her and she reached up to gingerly touch the purple bruise that had formed on his cheek. "And I'm guessing that conversation didn't go well." She sighed and pulled her feet up onto the couch so that she could rest her head on her knees, "This is all my fault."

                Ray's face softened and he sighed, too, "It's not your fault you like him, Lily."

                "But I don't…" She said softly, looking quickly to the ground then up at Ray again. His face would have said everything, but he asked anyways.

                "Then why did you do it?" Ray was asking her the same question she'd been too afraid to ask herself. She didn't know why she'd done it, and she didn't want to figure out why. She knew she didn't love Travis, the whole thing had just sort of… happened.

                "I don't know why I did it, Ray. It just sort of happened." She looked guiltily at Ray, silently praying that she wasn't about to lose another best friend.

                Instinct was kicking in and Ray was finding it hard not to be angry, even if Lily didn't know it she was slowly breaking his heart. "Lily how could you just lose your virginity and not know how it happened? I mean it was your first time right, or are you just some sort of slut who sleeps around-" Ray's sentence was cut off as Lily smacked him square across the jaw, dead on the purple bruise that was already on his cheek. His hand flew to his cheek and he stumbled off the couch.

                "What the hell was that for?"

                "How could you say something like that Ray?! Don't you know me at all? Of course it was my first time, just because I don't understand how it happened doesn't mean I'm a slut. You're just an asshole." Lily was on her feet now too, staring Ray straight in the eye.

                "What am I supposed to think Lily? The girl I've been in love with since I was five is suddenly out fucking one of my best friends and I'm supposed to think I know you?"

                "In…love with me?" Lily said softly to herself, looking at Ray curiously, but he wasn't paying attention. He took another deep breath in and kept going.

                "I've been trying to tell you I liked you for months now and just as I'm almost there you go and screw Travis… and it's not like I even like the guy either, I probably could have dealt with it if it were Robbie… well, actually, no, I would have beat the crap out of him, too, but this, I just-"

                Ray sentence was cut short as Lily pulled him towards her, and kissed him. His eyes widened in shock, but he could taste the faint flavor of strawberries in her mouth, and before he knew what was happening, his eyes were closing and he was melting into the kiss.
