A Travis Lily Story
Chapter 6 - When you can't sleep
A/N: Just to let you know, the chapters are supposed to be short. It's supposed to be glimpses of moments into Lily and Travis' relationship. It's a different style so a lot of you lovely reviewers didn't get it at first.
The next day Lily walked to school alone and walked straight past Robbie, Travis and Ray who were waiting at her locker. They sighed, staring at each other but Ray chased after her.
"Lily!" Ray called to her. "Wait up!" Finally she turned around.
"I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I just saw you there, so close, crying..." He paused. "I'm sorry. It shouldn't have happened. Can we pretend like it didn't?" Lily glanced up and smiled a little.
"Yeah. I guess so. I wish I could pretend like the last three weeks never happened. How could I believe Travis even liked me?" Ray looked at her sympathetically. "But you know Ray, I guess I don't really like him either. Well, I did, but not after yesterday." They stared at each other, a look of pity in Ray's eyes. "Look," Lily continued, "Can you cover for me at the station? I think I need to take a break."
"Break? But you're going to come back, right?"
"Yeah. Of course." She smiled at him. "But uh, just until things with Travis and I cool down. You know, when I can look at him and not want to physically hurt him." She said as they both laughed.
"Wow Lily, I'm glad you're taking this so well. Surprised, actually." She looked up at him, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.
"Well, you can do a lot of thinking at night when you can't sleep."
