Ah! The lovely feeling of a thousand pounds of writer's block and guilt lifted from your shoulders. Yay! Sorry to say that this is the last chapter...fifth and final! After forever I've updated for those of you who care, and I hope you enjoyed it! And guess what...I still don't own RFR...
That was it. Enough was enough! Ray jumped from his spot on the floor, causing Robbie to fall over and suddenly wake.
As Travis parted from Lily's lips, the lights came back on, and both were now staring up at Ray, whose fists were clenched; eyes squinted in anger. Robbie was sitting up dazed, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"What are you doing!?" Ray shouted. No one spoke, and Ray's voice seemed to be bouncing off the walls.
"What...?" Travis still sat on the couch, avoiding Ray's eyes and looking for an answer from the walls. Ray practically ran over to Travis.
"What do you mean 'what'!? You just KISSED Lily! What the hell is wrong with you, man?" Ray shouted again. Travis moved from the heart of the couch to edge of the cushion, hands over his eyes.
"No...This..it's not! Wait..." Travis stumbled along his words. He didn't know what to say now. Everything had seemed to go so fast, he hadn't thought much of Ray...And Ray was probably more worth worrying over now than what would happen to him and Lily. It seemed all wrong now, he'd betrayed Ray.
'No...Ray never made his move! I got to Lily first because I told her...and she...she told me!' Travis thought. He noticed someone's hand on his wrists now, sliding his hands down from his eyes.
"Travis...what's going on?" Lily's face was right in front of Travis', and Ray was only getting more upset. Her eyes told Travis that she really did not know what was going on and that Ray's secret was about to be revealed.
"Lily, it's nothing! It's--" Ray was stopped as Travis jumped from the couch and faced Ray.
"It's because Ray...Ray..." Travis began, his face full of sudden anger. But then his expression softened as he realized what he was doing. He'd already kissed he reveal Ray's secret, too? He could tell that Ray was seriously hurt now, and he knew he would seriously regret if he told Lily...that.
"It's because I love you..." Ray stood there, looking past Travis to Lily. Robbie was fully awake now as Ray said that, and stood up quickly. Travis' eyes widened and Lily mouthed a few inaudible words that looked like, "Oh wow..."
Lily said nothing now; she was dumbfounded on the couch. She closed her eyes and sighed. She knew what she had to do...Give it to him straight.
'Just say it...Tell him...Go ahead! Say it!' Lily pushed herself inside. She had everything mapped out in her head now. What to say. What to do. It was like when something's happened and you didn't come up with a good enough comeback or action, and when it's all over you know what you should've done and said. Lily's head had already made out those plans, but she didn't have the right heart for them. She stood.
"Ray...I don't think I can...I mean, Travis.." Lily was having trouble with her words now. How could she break Ray's heart? She closed her eyes again and placed her hands on her hips.
"Ray...I can't. You know I can't. It's really...Well...It's really wierd. I mean, I've known you for a very long time...and I...I just couldn't do that. I really love us being friends. I do! But something more than friends is just not happening for me...and Travis...he made a move before you, you know?" Lily swallowed hard.
"Wow...So...If I'd said something before Travis, then you'd love me too?" Ray looked around, heart pounding, half breaking.
"It's not like that, Ray! I love you so much, Ray, but you know that it's only friendly. I'd do anything for you! Or Robbie, or Travis. You guys are my best friends...It just so happens that I just...have certain feelings for Travis...and I just....Yeah." Lily couldn't say anymore. And for that, she noticed that what she'd said made no sense whatsoever.
Through all this Robbie was speechless. Somehow this was not processing in his head. Travis kissed Lily...or did Lily kiss Travis? Ray spilled the beans, Lily rejected. Travis was now standing between the two, looking heartbroken just like Ray. And now Ray had lifted his fists in anger, Travis was walking out again.
"Travis!" Lily called out. Travis ignored her and everyone else. Ray was the second one to run out. "Ray! ... Robbie!" Lily grabbed Robbie's arm and pulled him out of the station.
It was still raining outside. It was freezing, but it looked like the sun was just now coming up. The dim lighting was horrible. You could barely see anything, if not just the outline of the station, and, as Lily noticed, the outling of two figures, one up against the wall, the other right next to it.
"You...I can't believe you! How could you!?" Ray yelled. He pushed Travis, who rolled across the side of the building and ran back at Ray.
"You know what Ray? It's your fault! You never said ANYTHING to Lily! You were too scared to say something...And you just didn't. So then what happens? I come to Roscoe and I find out that I love Lily too! I find out that I'm too weak and couldn't say anything either because I thought Lily was yours! But I've had enough of your damn whining and complaining that you love Lily so much, but you can't tell her! And you know what I did? I told her...And she told me too!" Travis came back at Ray with his speech, and it was almost as if it was his punch in the face to Ray, because Ray didn't say anything after that.
"So...she loves you too, eh?" Ray said. His voice was faking his bravery, he was shaking now, but he sounded unaffected.
"Yes."
"I don't believe you!" Ray took a swing and Travis, and came full on rage with him now. Travis didn't know what to do; he couldn't get up, he couldn't move. All he could dow was try and block Ray's attacks to him.
It was so unreal to him. He never thought that Ray would go full on combat with Travis. But Travis was quicker. He waited in between one of Ray's kicks and rolled to the side, jumping up to hit Ray. It was enough, then, for Lily and Robbie who'd just reached them now.
"Stop it! Now!" Robbie pulled to two apart, watching as Ray wiped a bit of blood from his lip where Travis had hit him. "Look at you two! Fighting...over none other than a girl! ..No offence Lily.. What is wrong with you!?" he pushed both of them back and then let Lily in to say her part.
"I thought that it wouldn't be this bad...I didn't want to break your heart, Ray. If I have to I will, and if you keep this up I can't help but do much more! I don't want to see you two fight...You're best friends! But Ray, you'll have to accept that I only have friendly feelings for you...but that I'll always be there for you! Always! And me and Travis might not always be together...but I love him...and I will no matter what you do...But stop fighting...stop fighting..." she said. Ray said nothing, and he looked to Travis, who also said nothing. He place his hand on Travis' shoulder, who flinched partly, and then smiled.
Each nodded as if in apology, and it seemed like everything after that was okay again. Lily was right in what she said...She may not love Ray in that way, but she wouldn't ever leave him. Robbie was just satisfied that no one died..And Travis? Travis was happy that he finally got his girl..
It was like on those steryotypical stories...Doesn't the hero always get the girl?
That was it. Enough was enough! Ray jumped from his spot on the floor, causing Robbie to fall over and suddenly wake.
