Chapter 5! $40 to whoever guessed what 'out of the mud' was referring to!! :P Lemme go get my wallet. LOL. Anyway, lets go on with the chapter. Oh, and I'm sorry for the lack of Robbie. Um...he's busy right now. Please leave a message after the tone. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Through that week, Ray and Lily started acting a little friendlier in front of Robbie and Travis. They were relived that they didn't have to hide it anymore, because it was getting complicated. That Saturday, Ray's birthday, Lily had a whole day planned, just the two of them together. To top of the perfect day, Ray invited Lily over for dinner. His parents cooked a big steak dinner just for the occasion and were glad to have Lily over.

Lily raised her hand and knocked on Ray's front door. She had been over to his house plenty of times, so she couldn't figure out why she had butterflies. Sure, it was the first time being over as Ray's girlfriend for a fancy birthday dinner, but she didn't see that a reason to be nervous.

Lily prepared herself to knock again when Ray opened the door. He greeted her with a smile and pulled her inside.

"Hey pretty lady."

Lily giggled at Ray's classic greeting and kissed him. He kissed back and led her to the rest of the house.

Halfway through dinner, Lily was no longer nervous. She still didn't know why she had a funny feeling in her gut. All of a sudden, she started thinking about Travis and her recurring dream. Last night, she had the same dream at a different angle. Instead of starting just before she stepped into the mud, she was already halfway down and the hand was already trying to pull her up. She woke just before her savior had her completely safe. Just as it was 10 minutes before, Lily had another gut-bursting feeling, and she started thinking that maybe something bad would happen soon. She actually had a mental fight with herself just before she came, one side saying she should go to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, the other saying something terrible would happen and she shouldn't even get dressed for it. In one quick motion, Ray stood up from his chair and threw something at his brother. Lily stared at him in shock, then at Tim who had a bloody nose.

"What the hell was that for, Ray?" Tim asked, more like yelling, as he a tissue to stop the bleeding.

"What do you mean what the hell was for? You know better than to talk shit about my friends!"

Tim gasped sarcastically. "Watch out Ray, your girlfriend might disapprove and break up with you."

Lily glared at Tim and tried to pull Ray down by his arm. Mr. And Mrs. Brennan just...kinda stared, while their sons broke out in a fight. Mrs. Brennan gave Lily and apologetic look for Tim's behavior.

"Shut up Tim!" Without thinking, Ray grabbed his glass and threw it as hard as he could at his brother. It hit him square in the face; little bits of glass stuck it and blood dripping down. Tim ran upstairs to his bathroom to clean up the cuts and Ray chased after him to continue his fight. Lily got up and stormed out of the house without saying another word.

Oooh, didn't see that one coming, didja? Huh huh huh? Didja didja didja? :P Anyway, I bet Lily's gonna break up with Ray, what do you guys think?
