Ch. 10: One Question
I pulled her shoulder back, turning her around. I knew she was cheating on me, I had wondered about it long enough, and the clues added up.
Where do I go now? Do I break up with her? Do I talk to her about it?
Do I... assume the wrong thing!
Staring me in the face was definitely NOT Audrey.
Immediatly, my face flushed, a wave of embarassment washed over me.
How could I have been so stupid? I looked into the girl's eyes. There was fear gripping her, she was expecting to be attacked. Her eyes started to tear up, she brushed past me. Running.
I heard her start to cry, it trailed off.
I went back to face Ray.
Pure anger with a mix of disbelief. The whole hall was still staring, oblivious to the situation.
"Ray, I-I-I.. I don't.. " I spitted out.
"Yeah, whatever, nice going." He ran past me, bumping my shoulder in the act.
I heard him softly shout "Melissa" as he ran off.
As soon as I got home, I called Lily and told her about everything.
"I know, and Ray won't be at RFR today..." She sounded disappointed.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! You and I both knew something was probably going on."
"Yeah, well, sometimes you have to be more careful, Travis." She almost sounded angry at me. Angry that I could have done something so foolish to Ray.
"Well if Ray isn't going. Then neither am I." I stated.
"Alright, I'll call Robbie, and tell him RFR is off today."
"Fine."
"Fine. Bye."
Click.
Just like that, all of the closeness Lily and I had shared and gathered was crushed.
And always a rarity, RFR was cancelled. Was this a dream? If so, somebody please wake me up, it's turning quickly into a nightmare.
Unfortunatly, after a few firm pinchings, I learned that this was life, and I wasn't sleeping.
As 4'o'clock rolled around, I turned my radio on to RFR purely out of curiousity.
Somebody must have put on a repeat show. Perhaps Robbie.
I put my hands behind my head and laid back on my bed, the words I had already heard before, and the songs I already knew that would be broadcasted glaring through my mind. I closed my eyelids for just a brief moment...
"NO!" I sat straight up in some kind of blurry world, my face was very warm, I was seeing specks of light popping infront of my face. I stood up very quickly, and feeling dizziness I fell right back down on the ground. Where am I? I rubbed my eyes for a second and opened them again, seeing my bedroom door still open infront of me.
A nap.
Of course.
I looked at my watch -- 5:13 PM. Calming myself down and standing slowly up. I turned off my radio which was now playing static as the repeated broadcasted was over.
I realized I had a dream, the thoughts of it now coming back to mind. There was... something, about... I couldn't remember it.
I decided to go to the RFR station, it was very serine there and I could calm myself and just clear my thoughts.
As I was walking I started remembering the dream.
I don't remember the exact start of the dream, not many people can recall that fact. However, I remember when it started for me. There was me, at school, and Audrey... She was angry. I was angry.
No words were spoken. She walked off, I didn't care. Then there she was, Lily.
She was happy, as was I.
She walked up to me. I stared in her eyes for a few moments.
"Travis..."
"What?"
"Travis... I have a question..." Her voice had been so weary and cloudy.
"Yes? What is it?"
"Do you love me?" She asked.
"I... " But it was too late, she was gone, and I woke up screaming the word "No!"
I didn't want her to be gone.
Thankfully it had been a dream, but it was so vivid. In the dream, apparently Lily loved me, and she wanted my love back.
My stomach sank... The realization had finally hit me after all these days.
I liked Lily.
There was only one question, and problem -- Did she like me back?
