Why Me?
Ch 3: The Big Call Then Walking Tall Then A Huge Fall For All
Radio Free Roscoe

I knew what I needed to do, whatever the price. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw her number dialed into my phone. I only needed to push one button to tell her I liked her. "Send" the dreaded button stared viciously at me in the eye. I stared back until I found my right hand pushing it slightly until I heard her numbers dialing, it rung and rung and rung until a familiar "angelic" voice came on.

"Hello?" asked the familiar voice.

"Hi, is this Audrey?" I asked, knowing it was her, I could recognize her voice anywhere.

"Yes, but what I would like to know is who this is?" she asked with a slightly sarcastic tone to her voice.

"Oh sorry" I apologized "This is Ray, Lily's friend"

"Oh hi Ray, Lily's friend, how are you?" She asked with a laugh. Her laugh was extraordinary I was in heaven when she laughed it made me feel great, and it made me forget about Travis, it also made me forget the information Radio Free Roscoe had just given me, I glanced at my phone clock, 4:30, the show was almost over, I needed to tell Audrey then get back on the air.

"I'm good, just...." My voice trailed into the air.

"Just?" she asked.

"Just, I have... lately I ... I mean if I try... Audrey...." I mumbled, geez, I was a replay of lunch, I had no idea how to tell I girl you like them, maybe Best of Both Worlds would work.

"Audrey I think you're fretty" That's what I had called Paige and Erin and the warehouse dance, they thought it was cute, but I had also told them the history of pants, that they DIDN'T think was cute.

"Fretty?" she questioned, she wasn't used to my "Best of both worlds" thing.

"Yea", I started, "Fine and pretty, best of both worlds"

"Thanks... Ray" her voice was almost trembling, maybe she felt way awkward, maybe she didn't like me, I could barely tell her what I was going to but it sorta already came out before I could change anything.

"I like you Audrey, a lot" I told the phone, I got no response, it was like I was talking to a wall, I heard breathing, slow breathing, slow and low breathing, I took it that she was alive, which was good, at least I didn't kill her.

"Audrey? Did you pass out?" I joked. I gave a faint laugh but I still heard nothing, I was feeling very durt, Dazed N hurt, I now officially thought she didn't like me. Before I knew it I heard a "click" and a dial tone. I put my phone away and realized I had been up here either debating to call or calling and hanging up or calling and waiting for her response for 15 minutes, I will only have 15 minutes of RFR to finish. He runs down the stairs and gets his head phones back on.

"Ahh, so Mr. Pronto will be joining us for the remainder of the show" QM joked, Lily grinned at me and Travis was preparing for the next song.

"While we greet Pronto, you guys will be listening to Switchfoot with their hit "Meant To Live" Smog said into his microphone.

"Where were ya Ray?" Lily asked with her curiosity.

"I called in" I said, they looked puzzled.

"You were unknown, eh?" QM asked, he had known I was, but he guessed to look like he was confused.

"Yea" I said shortly.

"Who you got it for?" Travis asked, wondering deeply.

"Actually---"I got cut off by my cell phone ringing loudly. I jumped and Lily cracked up while I left and went to the roof.

"Can you guys save for me?" I asked, even though I had rarely been there for more then 5 minutes hopefully they wouldn't mind it.

"What's New?" joked Robbie, "Sure we always do and always will"

I left and walked up the stairs and looked at the called ID, I recognized it, it was Audrey.

"Umm Hey!" I said very friendly, waiting for her to talk.

"Hi Ray, I kind of wanted you to know why I hung up on you earlier" she said with a voice that wasn't determined as happy, but definitely wasn't angry or mad either.

"Ok" I said.

"Earlier you said you liked me, I was startled, and surprised, I had no idea what to say, but now I do" she said again with an undetermined voice.

"That would be?" I said, not getting nervous or excited, she had hurt me earlier, and I knew how this was gunna end, she didn't like me I could tell.

"Ray, when you said that, I couldn't answer you because I like you too" she said with a now relieved voice to her.

"Really?" I said nearly bursting, Audrey liked me!!!

"Yea, and I didn't answer you or even talk to you last time because I couldn't find my tongue to tell you that Ray" she told me with pure happiness.

"So would you ever consider going out... with me?" I asked nervously, I was shaking, my hand wouldn't stay still.

"Yea, how bout Tomorrow, Mickey's, at 8, sound good?"

"Yes, very good, I'll see you then"

"Good bye Ray"

"Good bye Audrey"

With that our conversasion was over, I was so happy, it was 5:03 RFR had ended, and I could see my friends leaving. I didn't bother shouting at them or even simply saying hi, I was floating and I didn't want anyone to ruin my moment. I laid down on the roof and realized something. What would Travis say? I had never thought of what he might do, so I had to yell at Travis and ruin my floating feeling.

"Yo Travis, get up here!!" I shouted as he turned around, he nodded and I heard feet coming up the stairs.

"Yea Ray?" he asked.

"Do you like Lily? I don't anymore, and I was just seeing if ya did?"

"Yea, I do, I'm good at hiding it though"

"She likes you too though Trav"

"yea?" saying with a little intensity

"Yea, she told me, but she wanted me to ask you if you liked her and I'm asking you and you do so... are you going to ask her out?"

"probably sure yea bye Ray" he grinned and I smiled, Travis got up and Waved good-bye. Intense conversation, it was like he was hiding something

"Oh and by the way Travis" I continued as he stopped walking and turned back, "I asked Audrey out" It's like the world stopped spinning and he just stared at me, with his gleaming eyes, and I was scared for his response. I never really got one in fact. He just nodded and left down to the ground no emotion in his face, neither bad or good, I yelled for him to wait so we could talk these things out, but I think it just made him walk faster. I ran down to Travis and put my hand on his shoulder, I was completely out of breath.

"Trav...So...Are...You...Mad?" I mumbled barely through my deep breathing, at this point I was glad I hadn't made the soccer team I may die on field one day.

"No just shocked I guess" Travis replied not looking me straight in the eye.

"Look I know she hurt you" I began I could sense Travis wincing with those words, "but you can have Lily now right? Without me getting completely psycho either, shouldn't that be good?"

"Yea, I like her a lot, and I'm glad you actually told me before you dated behind my back" Travis said still not meeting my gaze, just staring into the sky then to the ground.

"Something wrong Travis, you seem preoccupied, REALLY preoccupied, unless it's some weird Zen focus thing" As I said that I made my Zen hand gestures and weird things that got from Travis a little smile, but then he told me something.

"Ray, there's something I've been meaning to tell you..."He said, yet again not meeting my eyes, it was scary, it felt there was something serious going on, but I was thinking whether or not I really wanted to know what that something was.

"Ummm, yea Travis, what?" I said with a scared/tense tone, I had no idea what he was going to lay on me, and I didn't know whther I was prepared for it.

"Ray, Me and Lily have been dating behind your back since My Birthday", He said.
