Travis was awakened by his cell phone ringing to one of Lily's fave songs, "Shady Lane" that he put on there. Lily loved hearing that song, it's what made her get into playing the guitar, and gave her her radio name.

"Hello?" Travis said groggily.

"Hey, wake up sleepyhead." she laughed.

"I'm up, I was just....umm...doing my morning meditation?"

"Oh mmmhmmm sure, but I called to tell you that Robbie can't make it to the station today because he's got an dentist appointment. I think he has to have a root canal or soemthing like that, but anyways, he pre-recorded some tapes for you to play for today's show."

"Okay." he said, still trying to wake up.

"See ya at school Trav!" she said happily.

"Likewise...ahhhhh....bye."

He slowly got up and put his cell phone on his dresser. He walked out, got dressed and did some morning meditation.

He got his backpack and his cell and headed out the door.

He saw his mom's boyfriend standing in front of the door.

"Where ya goin' sport?" he said.

"I'm going to school Jake..." he said softly. "But first, I'm getting me some breakfast..."

"You do that. Always have a good mind ready for school." he said. He had a glare in his eye, the same glare he had when something wasn't right. Travis was scared of Jake, after 6 months ago, when his mom started dating him. Travis could always tell when something was wrong with him.

Travis got a glass out of the cuboard and got out the orange juice. Jake stood by the oven and watched him with serious interest.

Travis poured the glass of O.J. and went to put the orange juice up when he accidentally knocked over the glass, the glass shattering all over the floor.

Travis, frightened, started picking up the. Jake grabed him by the back of his neck.

"Better start being a little bit more careful wtih your hands sport, never know what trouble they'll get you in to..."

Jake threw Travis down right onto the glass. Travis laid there for a minute, throbbing in pain. He got up to find a piece of glass sticking into his leg, and it was bleeding. Bad. He had glass all over him, but he could not run up to his rom adn change. He would be late for school.
