Trip Down Memory Lane
Radio Free Roscoe
Chapter 5
A/N: A big part of this was thought of by Ava, because I was clueless on how to put it. Also, big thanks to Dani, because Ava spotted something she had written and asked if I could use it and I'm really glad she did.
"Hey man, Lily isn't yours." A blonde haired boy said to his friend.
"Hey she's not yours either pally!" a familiar brown haired boy said to his friend.
"We've bonded, we kissed, and she has a thing for me Ray."
"You know what Swami? I don't even know why I bother! You and Lily's history is no bigger than a damn kiddie pool" Ray shouted, he was furious at his newly found friend, he believed the friendship wouldn't last that long. Ray had known Lily longer, he deserved her, she was his...
"Maybe Lily is the type of girl who prefers chemistry over history!" the boy shouted, and left the familiar coffee shop. Ray slammed his fist on a nearby table
"Easy there kid, something buggin you?" a husky voice asked from behind the counter.
"A lot Mickey..." he said as he approached Mickey's counter. Mickey waited for Ray to explain. "You know that girl I hang with, Lily? Well... I've known her for my life obviously, and recently, I've been feeling different to her... like I like her more than a friend, and my other friend Travis is crushin on her too...and I have a feeling she likes him more than me." Ray stated, he was loathing in his own self-pity.
"The world ain't going to give you everything you want, you gotta roll with the punches, and if this girl digs you, she'll let you know." Mickey reassured him.
"Thanks Mickey, were you ever a psychiatrist?" Ray joked.
"Nope, but when you work around a bunch of love-sick teens, it grows on ya." He said as Ray walked out and straight to Lily's.
"So that's what you two fight about now?" Lily said, half surprised and half mad.
"Not all the time... but we both love you Lily, and it difficult when you don't decide on anyone." Ray said to his defense.
"I can't choose between friends... Ray if this is why you came here, you were wasting your time, neither of you two can "woo" me to deciding on one of you... I'm sorry." Lily said sternly. She was tired of them both talking to her about this.
"I'm not asking you to ask me out... I was here to talk things over, and get my mind off the guy Travis." Ray spoke.
"He's not all bad..." Lily spoke, eventually regretting that she said that.
"Lil, you like him more than me..."
"I don't like either of you guys that way!" she nearly shouted, she was mad now.
"I'm sorry Lil, it's just hard." Ray said as he got off her bed.
"No, don't be sorry, this should be great, I should be happy! Two guys like me I should be the happiest girl alive but I'm not!"
"I know its hard being you, but I'll always be here for you." Ray said as he came back and put an arm around her.
"Ray... don't start" Lily pulled his arm off of her shoulder.
"I'm trying to say I'm sorry Lily, how will you ever forgive me?" he asked.
"I'm not sure, I just am tired of this." Lily said
"I understand and I'm really sorry..." Ray said.
"I know, I guess I overreacted..." Lily came to truths with herself on this
"No, you had every right to get mad me, it's fine." Ray said with a goofy smile on his face, and it cheered Lily up.
"Ray, are you ever going to go home" she joked
"I guess I should, I'll see you later than." He smiled to her
"Hey Ray..."
"Yea Lil?" he turned around.
"You're my best friend." She said with her head slightly tilted and an adoring smile on her face.
"Is that all we will ever be?" he asked, almost pleadingly.
"For now..." she said," but maybe sometime in the future, we might be something more, but nothing now, or soon. I'm sorry." She spoke apologetically.
"It's fine, as long as I have you as my friend; I have everything in the world." He said as he left her bedroom.
Lily sat there on her bed and skimmed through the pages of the photo albums. Some pages were torn on the end, some were brand new. She looked at some pictures she and Ray hadn't looked at on that day, and others they had, she had some thoughts in mind, mainly the fact of her and Ray going out.
"Maybe..." she started out to herself. "Maybe the future will come sooner than we thought it would." She said to herself
She closed the photo album and lies back on her bed, and bit her bottom lip. Maybe the future was right around the corner, she started to look at Ray differently, and then felt guilty because of her love of Travis as well. She was confused yet again, she felt as if she were back to square one, she gave up, romance was just not near her, and if it was, she wasn't sure with who...

A/N: Hope ya'll liked it... it wasn't much, but I really liked writing it! Hope to get more reviews on it. Also, now that I have finished this, I will be working harder on Premonitions and trying to get that done, please review both!
Much Love,
