Chapter 11
When Ray got home his phone rang. He answered and heard Travis's voice on the other end.
"Ray, get down to the hospital now!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong. Lily just woke up!" Ray dropped his phone and ran out of the house. He arrived at the hospital ten minutes.
As he entered the room he saw a crying Travis holding Lily in his arms. At that moment Ray knew that his love for Lily was purely platonic. He could see the look of joy on Lily's face. Ray left the room and let them have some time alone.
"Travis..."
"Lily, I'm so sorry. I never meant for this to happen."
"I know. I could hear everything you said while I was...sleeping." Travis smiled and gently kissed her on her rosy lips.
The next day Lily was released and Travis decided they would go and hang out at Mickey's since Lily hadn't been there in two weeks. When she entered she saw Ray sitting on the couch. Her heart swelled with joy to finally see Ray again. She had only seen him for a few minutes the night before. But as soon as the joy had come it disappeared. Sitting next to him was the same raven-haired girl that she had seen Travis with five weeks before. She was wearing a white belly top with Aquarius written in purple on it. The top showed off her impeccable abs. She was also wearing a pair of denim low- rise jeans and a pair of purple DC's. Her hair was pulled into two long pigtails that fell to the small of her back.
"What's he doing talking to her?" Travis looked up to find Ray talking to his ex. Travis walked over to them.
"Hey Tessa, what's up? Trying to get with my best friend I see." Contessa looked up at him. He immediately saw the tears forming in her eyes.
"Don't call me Tessa." Travis and Lily sat down.
"Why not? Your dad used to call you that all the time?"
"Yah, well he's dead now so don't call me Tessa." Travis gave Contessa a warm hug.
"I had no idea. How?"
"He went on a trip to New York and he never came back. He was caught in a drive-by shooting." Lily was the first one to speak.
"I'm so sorry." Contessa finally noticed the blonde.
"Oh how rude of me, hi I'm Contessa."
"Yes, I know. Travis has told me all about you. I'm Lily. His girlfriend." Contessa was silent for a few minutes. She just looked Lily over with her big neon blue eyes. Finally she cracked a smile.
"You're the one he was running after. Sorry for kissing him. I had no idea you two were dating." Lily smiled.
"We weren't technically dating at the time but it's okay."
"What happen to you, Lily?" Contessa had just noticed the bandages.
"I was hit by a big rig." Contessa's eyes grew wide.
"How did that happen?" Lily began to tell Contessa the story. By the end of the night Lily and Contessa were the best of friends.
