I'm feeling bored today so i'll post a second chapter. Enjoy!
The drive to Lily's house was complete silence, other than the rain coming down and the windshield wipers on high speed. Lily was sleeping, despite the fact that her house was about a 20-minute drive away from Travis' place. Travis came to quick stop when a light turned red unexpectedly, which made Lily jerk up from her slumber.
"What was that?"
Travis smiled at Lily, sort of like a laugh. "The light turned red and I wasn't paying attention when it was yellow."
"Oh. How far are we from my house?"
"We'll be there in about five minutes."
"Oh...Travis?"
"Yes, Lily?"
"Could you promise me something?"
"I'll promise you anything if it makes you happy."
"Promise me that no matter what happens, you won't risk anything important to save me?"
The audience may now take this time to get up and go waste as much time as possible before Travis answers Lily. Go get some popcorn, take a whiz, go to the store and buy something for mommy and daddy...y'know, just anything to waste time. You can even let your annoying little brother on the computer for a couple hours so he'll shut up while you're reading this very intense chapter. In which someone does something :P But I haven't written it as I'm writing this so I dono what happens ;) I'm good, aren't I? -sings along to this really cool song I'm listening to-
-It's a new day, but it all feels old It's a good life, that's what I'm told! But everything it all juss feels the same...At mah high school, it felt more ta me like a jail cell, a penitentiary. Mah time spent there it only me see...-
I love that song :) -This is the anthem, throw all ya hands up Ya'll got to feel me sing if ya with me-
-yawn- It's pretty freakin' late at night...OOH ANOTHER GOOD SONG!
-(When I pretend) Everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like whatchu ad always wanted ta see (when I pretend) I can forget about the crim'nal I am stealin second afta second just cuz I know I can-
DAMIMT MYSTY QUIT PLAYIN WITH THE EARPHONE CORD!
-.- I hate my kitten she's so damn playful.
-looks at my wrist, grabs a black marker and draws a watch that shows that it's been an hour since I wrote that Lily asked Travis the question-
OK, time's up. Get back in your chairs, you lazy bums. Travis is gonna answer now.
Travis thought about how much he loved Lily. He could never promise that he'd think about himself for more than half a second when Lily was in danger. If he did, it was about how much he was gonna miss her if he did lose her. The light turned green, and Travis hit the gas petal.
Lily and Travis were on Lily's front porch, and Lily was fishing for her key.
"Trav?"
"Yeah?"
"You never answered when I asked you to promise me that you'd never risk anything important to save me." Lily unlocked the door and looked up at Travis. He was silent. He knew what he wanted to say, but for some reason it wouldn't come out.
"I..."
Travis was cut off when Lily's father appeared at the door.
"Have a good time at Mickey's, Lily?"
"Yeah it was...it was good. you excuse me and Travis for a moment, we've...got something we need to talk about."
Phillip cleared his throat and looked at his daughter with a stern expression. She returned a pleading look in her eyes. After a moment, Phillip turned around and walked back inside.
"You were saying...?"
Travis hesitated for a moment. "I can't promise you that, Lily."
Travis kissed Lily goodnight and left, leaving a girl standing in front of a lake, deciding whether to push herself in, or wait for the water to swallow her.
OK, I know it's not as long as the last one, but I wasn't really into writing at the time.
