Love Bites

Chapter 9

Like I always say...let this story end and make that review out to Cassgrl087!

Travis' POV - Putting Things Together Again

            I couldn't believe all that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. I know that all of life is suffering, but this was out of control.

            Once Ray blew up at Lily, she said she needed to be alone. So, I finished up our now solo broadcast with some music. At five, I went off air, alone, and traveled to Mickey's. I walked in and immediately saw Ray. He was looking through CD's when I cornered him. It was the only way things would get done.

            "Strong." He said, nodding his head. "Come to steal something else of mine?" He asked. "You already stole my girlfriend. What about my money?" He said sarcastically, digging into his pocket. "All I have is a five. Just take it. It's the least I can do." He continued, rolling his eyes. I sighed,

            "Ray, you have to hear me out." I insisted.

            "Why's that? So you can convince me to be happy about you and Lily's new founded relationship?"

            "There is no relationship." I said sternly. Ray was a little taken back. "Lily was obviously upset and because you left to go chase Robbie, someone had to comfort her. She was.... hurt...emotionally. All we did was hug." I say, a little embarrassed because nothing would ever come from a relationship between Lily and I. Besides, I wouldn't do that to Ray.

            "That's all you did?" He asked me.

            "Yes." I nodded.

            "Well," He sighed, realizing he was wrong, "I'm sorry."

            "I forgive you." I say.

            "Man!" Ray exclaimed, hitting himself on the forehead. "I really screwed up. Ya think Lily will ever forgive me?" I smiled a little.

            "I bet she's been trying to call you all afternoon." I knew how much Ray meant to Lily. She was heartbroken. Ray grinned, grabbing his cell phone from his pocket.

            "I hope so." He said as he dialed her number, walking away. I nodded my head in satisfaction and went to sit at a table. I watched as Ray explained everything to Lily. Even I had to admit that it was sweet.

            "Lily. I'm really, really sorry." He began, "I didn't mean what I said to you guys. I know it was a misunderstanding and I know that you wouldn't do that." He sighed in anticipation. Then he smiled. "Can you meet me over at Mickey's?" He asked and then nodded. I turned back to my tea.   It was now cold but I didn't care. Everything was just about all worked out. Except for Lily and Robbie. As far as I knew, Robbie could be off somewhere far, far, away with Judy. I hold in a shudder. A girl who almost coaxed Robbie to revealing Question Mark was never any good. Ray jumped back into a seat across from me.

            "Wassup, Swami?" He said, grinning like a fool. I rolled my eyes, too worried to get mad.

            "Did you end up talking to Robbie?" I asked Ray. He shook his head.

            "Not really. He said Judy wouldn't interfere with RFR anymore, but I don't think I believe him," Ray said doubtfully.

            "Oh really? Well you should believe me." Robbie said, coming up behind Ray and laughing. "Because Judy and I broke up."

            "Robbie! That's great!" Ray began. I kicked him under the table and he cleared his throat, the smile going off his face. "I mean, uh, that's really," he coughed, "sad…and…everything." Robbie laughed as he sat down in the chair next to me.
            "Stop faking it, bro, you're happy about it." I was glad to see Robbie as his old self. He was even wearing his old clothes.

            "But are you?" I asked him, always concerned about my friend's feelings.

            "I'm getting there." He told me as he looked toward the door. Lily was walking in, smiling now, her puffy eyes and crying gone.

            "Hey guys!" She said happily as Ray stood up, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. I rolled my eyes at their nauseating PDA. Of course, inside I thought it was great that everything was back together. Who knew that there could be so much drama in Roscoe? I laughed at that thought and turned to look at Robbie, who was lost in thoughts of his own.

            "Are you sure you're okay with this?" I asked him. He looked up.

            "Yeah," he said, slowly smiling. "I'm okay." He looked over at Lily, who kissed Ray on the cheek. Ray turned and whispered something in her ear, causing Lily to laugh and punch him in the arm. Robbie shook his head.

            "I came to a conclusion, though." He said.

            "Oh really? What's that?" I asked him. We both watched Ray pull Lily into another kiss as Robbie finished his thought.

            "Love bites!"
