In a dim light, Lily is sitting upon the infamous red couch; lying upon the interior of a very familiar underground site. Slowly the carefully lit room becomes less and less in view, as the red couch becomes more in focus. Lily is the focal point . . . the closer the view, the more she's visible. Slowly a salty tear rolls down her cheek.

This conflict had been attacking her for the past year, no matter what they always seemed to out-weigh each other in one way or the other. First there was Travis, oh Travis with the intelligence of Einstein himself and that face! That beautiful face, whether it be that dimpled smile or that full faced scroll . . . it would be Travis, the full hearted 'dream boy' with a heart of gold. Then there was Ray, the boy she's known since birth . . . her best friend. He has the brain of a fly, yet he's the funniest guy she knows. How was she supposed to choose?

Softly and slowly a song begins to play in the background.

'Here, here I am again

And I'm staring at these same four walls

Alone again

And now all the colors blend

And I'm growing numb and I've become this empty page

Hold on it's tragic, stumbling through all this static

I just wanna talk to you

My broken heart just has no use

I guess promises are better left unsaid, yeah

Well every time you try to tell me

Say the words and I'm the only

But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground

When you say love makes the world go round

My love look at what you've done to me

For someone who has felt so strong

It's amazing I'm completely gone

Hold on it's tragic stumbling through all this static

I just wanna talk to you

My broken heart just has no use

I guess promises are better left unsaid, yeah

Well every time you try to tell me

Say the words and I'm the only

But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground

When you say love makes the world go round

I guess the kind of love you give me

I'd rather be alone believe me

Is that the way you 'posed to treat me

I'd rather walk away

I just wanna talk to you

My broken heart just has no use

I guess promises are better left unsaid, yeah

Well every time you try to tell me

Say the words and I'm the only

But I'm the one who's crawling on the ground

When you say love makes the world go round

Yeah

You say love makes the world go round

Every time you try to tell me

I don't care you're not the only

Don't you know I'm coming back around

'Cause I say love makes the world go round, yeah

'Cause I say love makes the world go round '

Upon the leaf covered path walked a slumped figure. He was wearing a tight white shirt, faded jeans, and a gray hoodie . . . an outfit different from his usual attire. He strides steadily down the dirt path, colorful leaves swirling around him. It's now visible who this blonde figure is . . . Travis.

"How can I get her to love me? To love me and only me?" the question repeated itself in Traivs' thoughts. Then the obvious hurled at him . . . he knew what to do. The only conflict was, he had to act upon it . . . and fast!

HoPE YoU ENJoy!!
