Why Me?
Ch 4: Words Unsaid Leading to Lily's Bed
Radio Free Roscoe

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

As soon as her uttered those words I wanted to ring his neck, but I knew I couldn't, he was fine with me dating Audrey I guess I would have to be fine with him dating Lily and lying about it and hiding it and- ok fine I'll lay off, but since his birthday? I thought he hated his birthday? I remember, the whole Bike thief thing, he walked right out on his party, was there something I was missing?

"Since you are fine with me and Audrey, I'm gunna have to be alright with you two, but one question Travis?" Wondering what happened at his birthday party that made him fall for my girl ERRR best friend

"Sure Ray, what's up?" asked Travis, it's like the entire thing we had just said never happened, he was smiling, and almost completely happy, I guess Lily should end up with him.

"Your Birthday Party? Wasn't that a total bomb?" I asked, he smiled apparently knowing more then I knew, we had arrived at Travis' house, wow I was really into this conversation, it was like me and Travis were actually friends, which hadn't been the case these past few weeks.

"The surprise party, yes, total bomb, Lily's personal Party, very romantic" He said with that same smile on his face.

"Lily's Party?" I asked, Lily had never thrown me a party, I was getting a twinge jealous, maybe Audrey would throw me a party... ok anyway.

"Yea" Travis replied, I made a gesture to kind of let him know that I wanted details. "Well Lily had called my to the hangout with an "emergency" and once I walked in it was candlelite, and Lily motioned for me to sit next to her, I did and she sang this amazing song, and all I wanted to do was kiss her, so as soon as the song ended, I told her how great her party was, then she said, could you tell Ray and Robbie that because they think all my parties suck, and after that she just looked into my eyes, and before I knew it I had felt my lips against hers, and we pulled away and that's when it all happened" He said after we had sat down on his porch steps, I was trying to take it all in, then I realized he's stopped saying "It all happened" I was curious as to what that meant.

"What does It All Happened mean?"

"Ray, if I tell you, you have to promise not to get mad at me" I didn't know whether to just tell him yes, and knock him out later, so I decided.

"Promise Travis"

"OK, after that kiss, we just sort of looked in each others eyes, then Lily took of her guitar and grabbed my hand and we sat on the couch-"

"Do I really want to hear the rest of this Swami" I used his nickname I was getting a little anxious to hear his answer.

"Ray" he said with an assuring voice. "When we sat down, we talked about dating, we obviously shared our love and we were just nervous that if you found out you would shoot us both. We decided dating in secret would be way easier, although I'll hand it to you that this was not a very good thing, but it was easier and since you and Audrey are dating then we are cool right?"

"Yea", trying to take in that it was already approaching May 20th, they had dated for almost a full month. I guess I was fine with it, it was Thursday, tomorrow was my date with Audrey I should be happy though, why am I feeling so odd? I just waved so-long to Travis and he smiled and waved as he went inside, I walked home wondering why am I not happy? Tomorrow...Date...With... Audrey, I kept this running through my head and then I realized it. Something that was apparently missing was why I wasn't so happy. I was standing outside of a familiar house, with black shingles and red bricks, two stories, and looked into a familiar bedroom, I had been in so many times. I looked in and saw a familiar face on her guitar, strumming and singing. Her parents weren't home I decided to knock.

"Hey Ray" Lily greeted my with a hug, I assume she was feeling guilty for the dating behind the back thing.

"Hi Lily, umm we need to talk", I said almost like I was breaking up with her, but really I knew what I had to do, no matter if this would effect the whole Trily thing or the Me and Audrey thing, all I know is that I needed to do it.

"Sure Ray, is there something wrong", she asked while leading me up to her room. She sat down on the bed awaiting my answer, she was intent and just amazingly gorgeous.

"I know about you and Travis" ,I said, Lily had then become sort of different she didn't want to look eye to eye, but she did admit it was true.

"Travis told you?" she asked

"Yea, but it doesn't matter, I'm not going to hold a grudge against my best friend, I don't see the point" With that I hugged Lily and decided no time than the present, "Lily the real reason I came here was to tell you that I have had a crush on you since the beginning of high school." Lily sat there dumbfounded , had what she heard been real?

"Ray, you...you have a crush on me?" She asked, she smiled and let out a sigh. "I had a crush on you too" I heard the words "Had a" I knew she didn't feel the same way, and I was supposed to like Audrey.

"I actually am dating Audrey now" I said and Lily smiled.

"Never thought you liked girls like that, the really "fretty" kind"

"I liked you didn't I?

"Ray you are too sweet, I have homework or else I would let you stay longer and so we could talk more, but I'm yet again failing physics, so sorry Ray, I'll walk you out though" She grabbed my hand and walked me to the door. We hugged a great hug, something that was amazing for me, I smelt of her hair the sent was of the ocean it was intoxicating, when she let go I quickly put my hand on her cheek and moved in, What was I doing? I was kissing Lily, she likes Travis, why was I doing this? All I know is that I wanted her again, and I could feel her kissing back. All I knew is before we knew it we were back in her room...on her bed...and we both wanted each other
