Travis turned around and retraced his steps back to where he had just come from, the station . . . "What am I going to say when open that door? How will she react? There were so many unanswered questions to ponder on. All I want her to do is love me, not Ray and I, but just me. I am good for her, I can make her happier then she has ever been before." He continued back along the trail to the station pondering on what would happen, and continued to think about all the unanswered questions he had been wondering about for the past year.
Little did Travis know, Ray had the same plan as he did and he himself was also making his way to the station to finally confess his undying love for Lily. " I have to do this, I can not chicken out again. If you think of it like baseball I'm at bat, I've got two strikes and if I strike out again that means Travis will be up to bat. I really don't want Buddha Boy hitting a homerun because we both know that if I strike out he will be sure he wins the game. I don't know what I would do if Lily did not love me back. Well this is it," he said as he reached the large door leading in to the station.
Down in the station Lily heard someone coming down the metal stairs, she quickly wiped away the new tears that had begun to fall. She tried to get herself composed before who ever it was coming down opened the large metal door, Lily pulled her long hair down to lightly cover her face. Just as she turned her back to the door, it opened and a male voice spoke but Lily didn't turn around because she knew just who the voice belonged to. "Ray what are you doing here? I thought you went home"
Travis had quickened his pace to a light jog knowing he had to get back to the station either before Lily decided to leave or before Ray had the same idea as he did and get their first. "I would be so devastated he got to her first and she chose him over me, I don't care if they have known each other since they were in diapers. It's not really relevant when it comes to love. It all depends on what the two people are feeling then and there". Travis continued to jog moving closer and closer to the station, it was in his sight. He began to smile more and more as he got closer. It was as if he could just feel that she was there, his heart beamed with hope and pride."
"I came here because I have to talk to you, to be honest I should have said what I wanted to say last year when I first realized just what it was that I was feeling. I am in Love with you Lily and I'm not meaning the High School sweethearts sort of I love you, I know most people don't understand what that means, some do but don't figure it out till they are adults. These feelings for you are real, whenever I am around you I want to stay with you. I can't sleep at night because I am always thinking of you, I think about you every millisecond of the day Lily. I know you probably don't feel the same way about me but I felt I had to tell you, it was getting to the point where it actually hurt to see you because I care about you so much and not having you with me every second of the day was driving me insane". Lily turned around
At this point Lily began to explain, "Ray...."
He shook his head before you say anything I just have one more thing to say, and with that he moved to wards her. Ray pushed the hair out of Lily's face before grazing it with his hand and pulling her into a deep kiss.
I looked away
Then I looked back at you
You tried to say
Things that you can't undo
If I had my way
I'd never get over you
Today's the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
You're the only one
I'd be with 'till the end
When I come undone
You bring me back again
Back under the stars
Back into your arms
I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
Want to know who you are
Want to know where to start
I want to know how to what this means
Want to know how to feel
Want to know what is real
I want to know everything, everything
I don't want to fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don't want to talk about it
'Cause I'm in love with you
Travis reached the door to the station, opened the door and went down the stairs. His heart was beating harder and harder with each step he took, but it was not from his jog to the station he knew it was because this was one of the biggest moments in his life. He reached the big metal door at the bottom of the stairs, opened it and what he saw made him feel like all the life had just been sucked out of him. He cleared his throat; both Ray and Lily broke a part and with complete shock. Before either one of them could speak Travis said "I guess I'm too late to tell you I love you Lily" and he bolted out the door again leaving Ray and Lily speechless.
