The morning had started out chilly, Travis woke up quite early, he planned to sleep in later because he wasn't going to classes that day, he had promised Audrey that he would help her move Ray and Lily to the city. He couldn't sleep, he got up and fixed himself a warm cup of tea and had a piece of whole wheat toast, the phone rang, who could be calling him at this hour he thought, he picked it up.
"Travis?" Audrey said "Good your awake."
"Audrey, it's barely 6:30," Travis growled
"I know, it's early, but we're running late, we need to be in Roscoe by 7, 7:30 at the latest, we have a lot do to today." She said
"I understand that, settle down, it's not your life that's changing, it's Ray and Lily's" Travis calmly told her
"I know, but I just want everything to be perfect for them, they deserve it." Audrey said
"They do, but so do we Aud." Travis stated
"Not now Trav" Audrey pleaded with him "We'll talk about us later."
"When Audrey?" Travis asked with a slight tone of anger "Every time I try to bring it up, you change the subject or say, we'll talk about it later and we never do. I love you Audrey, I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level."
"Travis" Audrey shouted, "Later, I promise. Now I'll be there to get you in about 10 minutes, be outside and waiting"
"Fine" Travis retorted angrily
Travis realized it had only been two months since they got back together, but he loved Audrey ever since he first laid eyes on her, then she left, and suddenly there she was back in his life. He had never wanted to make a commitment like this with anyone before, it had always been Audrey and as far as he could see, it would always be Audrey. He didn't understand what it was he was doing wrong. His thoughts were broken by the sounds of a horn blowing, he looked out the window, it was Audrey, and he quickly put his jacket on and was out the door and into the car.
"Trav, I told you to be waiting outside, now I've probably woken up the whole neighborhood." Audrey said "Hurry up, we have to get there in less then half an hour."
"I'm sorry." was all Travis could say, he sat in the passengers seat of Audrey's car and buckled up
They drove all the way to Roscoe in complete silence. When they reached town, they dropped her car off at her parent's house and exchanged it for her dad's truck. Audrey finally said something, as they drove off to pick up Ray and Lily.
"Trav, something wrong?" Audrey asked?
"Are you that clueless Aud?" Travis yelled at her
"Gee, settle down, I said we would talk about it later, and I promise we will." Audrey yelled back
"Keep telling yourself that, Audrey, and it just might happen." Travis exclaimed "By the way, I'm riding to Toronto with Ray and Lily."
"And I'm suppose to drive by myself? We can talk then Travis, if it means that much to you." Audrey said
"Forget it, this is obviously a lost cause." Travis said
They reached Ray's place, Lily had jogged over from her dad's house earlier. He slammed the car door shut; Ray and Lily were both carrying boxes out of the apartment, getting ready to put them in the truck.
"What is going on?" Lily asked looking at Travis, then over to Audrey who had just gotten out of the car.
"Nothing" They simultaneously replied
"Doesn't look like nothing." Ray stated
"I'm riding with you two to Toronto." Travis huffed
"What?" Lily asked, "No, you can't make Audrey ride by herself."
"I can and I am." Travis said
"Well whatever," Lily began looking at Ray "I'll ride with Audrey and Travis can ride with you, ok?"
"That's fine." Ray agreed thinking something has just gone done, he didn't know what it was, but he was going to get to the bottom of it. He kissed Lily good-bye as she climbed into the truck with, Audrey.
"Ok spill, what is going on?" Lily sternly asked
"He wants to talk and I don't, is that such a big deal?" Audrey wondered
"Well, yeah Aud it is, what does he want to talk about." Lily replied
"Us, he wants a commitment and I honestly don't know if I'm ready for that yet, I'm 18 Lil, I'm young." Audrey said
"So you can't talk to him about it? I have it on pretty good authority, that Travis is a very open and understanding person, give him a chance to explain his side, and he'll do the same for you." Lily said
"So what? Are you mad at me?" Audrey asked
"No, of course not Audrey, but it takes two to make a relationship work, trust me I know it all to well." Lily said
Meanwhile Ray and Travis ride in silence, driving down the road.
"You wanna talk about it bro?" Ray asked
"You wanna listen?" Travis asked
"Yes, talk to me." Ray replied
"Ok, I have been asking to talk to her for weeks now about our relationship, I want a serious commitment, every time I see the way you look at Lily and the way she looks at you, I want that, but Audrey won't talk to me about it, she avoids talking about it, how can I get her to open up?" Travis asked.
"I don't know what to say, you know me Trav, I have always sucked at stuff like this, give her some time alone with Lil and I'm positive things will turn around. You will have what Lily and I have someday." Ray said
"Is it so wrong to want it today, even yesterday?" Travis wondered aloud
"No, you deserve to know what's going on in your own relationship, but trust me, Lily can work wonders. By the time this trip ends, you'll have the answer you're looking for." Ray replied
"I hope so." Travis said
"Have some faith, I know you have some of that." Ray said
"I don't know about that anymore." Travis mumbled under his breath.
But would everything be back to normal when the cars stopped moving? Stayed tuned next time to find out what really happens.
"Travis?" Audrey said "Good your awake."
"Audrey, it's barely 6:30," Travis growled
