Let It Snow

Ch 23: Harmless Fun and the Secret Above All Other Secrets

Radio Free Roscoe

All the boys:Sure

Robbie: What did you have in mind?

Lily:well..............

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lily: Well………….. I was thinking something like this game Audrey told me, it's called ten fingers, it's pretty interesting, but you have to ask personal questions, and if your not ready for more secrets to be revealed then I suggest you don't play.

All the guys agree and leave to the roof.

Robbie: Ok 10 fingers I've never heard of it before.

Lily: It's really easy to play all you have to do is ask a yes or no question I'll go first and then if it's a yes you put a finger down if it's a no then you leave your fingers up, when everyone gets all ten fingers down they lose and get to ask the questions from then on.

The group plays and opens some weird things in each others pasts, including Travis' little picture, but eventually Ray gets all his fingers down. It was Robbie's turn to ask a question and this is what Ray got down on.

Robbie: Has anyone ever… ok how am I going to put this… um… has anyone ever been with another person… like yea?

Travis and Lily looked at each other and laughed neither of them had put down a finger, and neither had Ray, but then his pinky just went down. Travis Lily and Robbie sat there in disbelief as Ray moved out of the little circle they had formed, everyone was glaring at Ray with disgust and disbelief.

Lily: Ray? (she questioned with a curious tone and even slightly concerned, had she just learned that Ray had been alone with a girl before?)

Ray: Long story guys ad I would rather not get into it ok?

The rest of the gang had knew every single girl Ray had ever dated, was there something they were missing. They didn't want to bother Ray, he just asked them more questions.

Ray: UMMM, has anyone ever skipped classes

Everyone put fingers down

Lily: OOO I guess I'm in the prescence of rebels!

They all laughed

Robbie: You're one too (pointing to Lily's finger down)

Lily- ha ha Robbie.

Ray- OK nest question, Have any of you ever done anything against the law? Like smoking, drinking?

No one except a surprising source put his finger down.

Lily: WHAT???

Travis: It was just once Lily, when I was 13, I got a little drunk in London, nothing big, my parents never found out, I paid for it though, sick the entire next morning.

They continued to ask questions and went back into the underground and Robbie and Ray talked and eventually fell asleep on the floor.

Lily: look at them (points to Robbie and Ray who are asleep on each other)

Travis: they are going to wake up to a huge shock tomorrow morning

Travis and Lily laugh and then all of a sudden Travis kisses Lily and they move over to the red couch, they start to kiss on the couch and Travis takes his shirt off, revealing a tank-top undershirt, and Lily sees something that makes her pull away.

Lily: Travis what are those? ( she points to little scars on his upper arm)

Travis: Scars from scratches.

Lily: What scratched you so many times in the same place?

Travis: uhhhh, tree branch

Lily: and you couldn't move out of the way of the branch why?

Travis: Lily come on.

Lily: Travis… (nearing tears which confuses Travis)

Travis: What's wrong Lily?

Lily: You… didn't make them… did you?

Travis awkwardly looks away and she sees the colours of his face leave, she sees the tears he's holding back, why was he doing this? Travis a cutter? It was scary she just rubbed his scarred arm, which she had failed to see earlier, and hugged him close.
