Chapter 4
"Thanks Chloe, I'll do that. You're the best." Travis said and hugged her. Right after that, Robbie came over looking really upset.
"Hey Robbie, are you okay?" Chloe asked.
"Leave me alone Chloe. Travis we need to talk." Robbie said sourly.
"Alright, good luck Travis. Bye Robbie." Chloe said and walked out. When she got back Lily was home. "Hey Lil." She said quietly and sat on the sofa.
"You okay Chloe? You look like you have something on your mind."
"Well I went to Mickey's to meet Travis because he needed advice. I gave him the advice and he hugged me and then Robbie came over really mad." Chloe said very softly.
"The hug was only friendly right?"
"Yea of course. But Robbie seemed really mad."
"I don't think that's how Robbie took it. I think he's jealous." Lily said
"Over me?" Chloe asked.
"It's kinda obvious he likes you." Lily said.
"No way." Chloe said, "But I guess that would explain the conversation on RFR yesterday."

Back at Mickey's Robbie was practically yelling at Travis.
"HOW COULD YOU?!"
"How could I what?" Travis asked perplexed.
"Hug Chloe!" For one, you have a girlfriend, and two I like Chloe!" Robbie said.
"It was as friend, she gave me advice about..." But Travis couldn't finish.
"Yea sure Travis." Robbie said, and then his cell phone rang. 'Who's number is that?' he thought
"Robbie its Chloe."
"Don't try to explain Chloe. I get it, you like Travis."
"No, Robbie, would you listen to what you're saying? Or at least listen to what I'm trying to say?"
"Fine then, explain."
"I'm sorry Robbie, The hug was just as friends. I didn't realize how you felt. But I like you too, I'm sorry I didn't realize you liked me." Chloe said.
"I don't like you." Robbie lied.
"Fine then I was wrong to call you. Forget I did." Chloe said and hung up.
"Why'd you say that?" Travis asked.
"I don't know." Robbie said realizing his mistake.
"Call her back then." Travis said.
~*~
"Chloe what happened?" Lily asked.
"He said he doesn't like me." Chloe said barely holding back small tears. Just then her phone rang. "It's him, Lil I can't answer."
"Let him leave a message." Lily said and after a few minutes her phone 's message waiting alert went off. She called her voicemail and listened.
"Chloe, I know you're mad, but I'm sorry. I didn't mean that I don't like you. I do, you mean everything to me. I know I just met you but it feels so true. Please forgive me." The message made Chloe's tears come flowing out Chloe held the phone out to Lily.
"Chloe give it a day. We'll stay home tomorrow and not let them come here." Chloe nodded but her tears didn't stop. Lily hugged her. They went to bed early that night. Lily woke up early but let Chloe sleep. St around 9 Ray called.
"Hey Lily. Travis and Robbie let me know what happened. How is she?"
"Still sleeping. Me and her are going to have a bonding day."
"Ok, I'll let the others know. We'll cover for you at the station."
"Thanks you're the greatest." Lily said.
"No problem babe." Ray said.
"I'll call you later." Lily said and hung up.
"I told you he liked you." Chloe said from the doorway of the bathroom.
"Hey, thanks for that by the way. He told me about your little pep talk." Lily said with a smile.
"Least I could do, you are taking me in. Plus you two make a cute couple." Chloe said.
"You want me to make waffles?" Lily asked.
"Sounds great, I'm starved." Chloe said with a smile. As they were eating Lily told Chloe about her date with Ray.
"And he said he'd cover for me at the station." She added at the end.
"That's awesome Lil. I'm so happy for you, you found a great guy who's totally into you." Just then the doorbell rang. "It's okay, I'll get it." She said and walked to the front door. She opened it, "Go away" she said plainly and slammed the door.
"Chloe who was it?" Lily said but before Chloe could answer there was a pounding on the door.
"CHLOE!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!" The heard Robbie's voice loud and clear.
"Never mind, Go sit down in the living room. I'll handle it." Lily said and walked over to the door. She opened it, "Robbie not today."
"Listen Lily I'm really sorry and I brought gifts. Please get her to listen." He said and held out Salt and Vinegar chips, chocolate covered raisins and a rented Lord of the Rings interview tape.
"I'll give them to her, but you have to give her time. She told you she liked you and you just stopped her in her tracks. Can you blame her?" Lily said taking the food and movie. She closed the door and went into the living room. "Chloe he brought bribes. I took them and sent him home." She handed Chloe the food and movie. Chloe got teary-eyed. "Chloe what's up?"
"When we were getting the snacks the other day I told him I love these snacks. I guess he was listening." Chloe said.
"That's really sweet." Lily said. "Are you ready to forgive him then?"
"Yes, I definitely am." Chloe said.
"I have an idea how." Lily said. "But how about we eat these snacks and watch this movie. I bet they are better when given out of guilt." At 5 o'clock Lily and Chloe went upstairs to listen to RFR.
"Thanks Chloe, I'll do that. You're the best." Travis said and hugged her. Right after that, Robbie came over looking really upset.
"Hey Robbie, are you okay?" Chloe asked.
"Leave me alone Chloe. Travis we need to talk." Robbie said sourly.
