Chapter 4
Lily checked her watch and saw that it was already close to eight. She headed off in the direction of Mickey's. When she stepped into the local disc store her eyes fell upon the couch that she usually sat on with Ray and Robbie. She felt her stomach tie into knots when her eyes fell upon Travis sitting next to a girl around her age with long, raven-black hair. As she flipped her hair back Lily saw that she had a stunning complexion and bright aqua eyes.
She leaned over and gave Travis a quick kiss on the lips. A sudden flood of tears flowed out of Lily's eyes. Just at that moment Travis looked back and caught sight of Lily. His eyes widened as he saw the tears flowing down her face. She quickly turned around and ran out of the disc store. He got up and sprinted after her.
After running for three blocks Travis caught Lily in an ally-way. He ran up and grabbed her by the wrist. As she turned around Travis winced at the look of pain on Lily's face. He let go of her wrist and attempted to touch her shoulder but she flinched away.
"Lily..."
"Travis how could you! You go and you kiss me and then start freaking out about Ray liking me and then, you go and let some stranger kiss you even though you know I like you!" Lily screamed at Travis with hate in every word.
"Lily, I didn't know she was going to kiss me..."
"But you sure as heck didn't stop her! Just never talk to me again! And I'm won't be going to RFR tomorrow or the next day! Not as long as you're there!" Lily stepped past Travis and ran home, leaving Travis standing alone in the freezing rain.
When Lily got home she ran upstairs and fell onto her bed and cried into her pillows. Her shaky hand picked up the phone and she dialed Rays cell. After three rings he picked up.
"It's go time!"
"Ray, It's Lil."
"Lily, what's wrong?" Ray's knuckles were white as he gripped the phone. Lily had never sounded this hurt in her life.
"Ray, I waited too long and I think I've lost Travis."
"How?"
"When I left your house I went to Mickey's and I saw some other girl kiss Travis. On the lips. I ran out and he ran after me and we got into this huge fight and I told him I wasn't going to talk to him ever and that I wouldn't go to RFR and..." Lily has to take a breath of air. "Ray, how could he do this to me? I thought he loved me."
"I don't know Lil. For the first time I don't have anything to say to cheer you up. Look, you just try to calm down and go to sleep and I'll see if I can get a hold of Travis."
"Okay. Bye." Lily hung up the phone and wound up falling asleep within ten minutes.
As soon as Ray hung up the phone he dialed Travis's number. Travis picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?"
"Can you please explain to me what you were doing with some girl at Mickey's!?" Travis let out a sigh.
"I'm guessing you talked to Lily."
"Yah, she was just bawling in my ear. I've never heard her so upset. What did you do?" Ray had a somewhat sympathetic sound to his voice.
"The girl was hitting on me and I was trying to tell her off when she just leaned in and kissed me."
"Why didn't you push her off?"
"I was stunned. I was shocked that she was so forward and I was discussed and shocked."
"Okay, I understand that but why didn't you tell Lil?"
"I tried to but she refused to listen. Wait, are you actually trying to hook me and Lily up?"
"Yes. Lily talked to me earlier and I realized that I couldn't keep her for myself. She loves you man. Look, I'll call her in the morning and we'll work this out."
"Okay. See ya." Travis hung up and flopped onto his bed and quickly fell asleep.
