The next morning Ray and Travis got up early and left so they wouldn;t get the girls in
trouble. Lily woke up and was sick again. She left before Audrey, to go to the station.
She opened the door and looked around for Ray. He was asleep on the couch. She walked
over and crouched down and brushed his hair from his. He opened his eye's.
L-Hey
R-When did you get here?
L-A few minutes ago, but the reason i'm here is because we need to talk.
R-Lily i'm so sorry I left.
He sat up. Lily decided to wait to tell him about her until he told her why he left.
L-Why did you leave Ray?
R-My dad.
L-What happened?
R-He beat me up pretty bad.
Lily could see that Ray had bruises on his arms and his lip was still cracked.
L-Ray i'm sorry.
R-Yeah, well i'm not. I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna get a job so I can live here.
L-Ray there is something I need to tell you.
R-What is it Lil?
L-You know that night at the studio?
Ray;'s face turned white.
L-Ray i'm pregnant.
R-Are you sure?
L-Well pretty sure, but when I go to the doctor we will know for sure.
Lily started to cry.
R-Lily don't cry.
L-Ray what am I supposed to do? What will my parents do when they find out i'm pregnant?
I can tell you what they will do, they will kick me out! And then what am I supposed to
do? I mean i'm a fifteen year old pregnant teenager with no food, money,and I have no
place to live.
R-I can help with the last one, you can live here with me.
L-Ray my life is so screwed up.
Ray kneeled down by Lily and huged her. She rested her head on his shoulder and continued
to cry.
R(stroking Lily's head)-Shhh
Lily lifted her head to look at Ray.
L-Ray I don't know if I can do this.
R-Yes you can Lily, you are the bravest person I know.
L(whiping her eyes)-Thanks Ray.
