CHaPTER 4: Up, Up, And Away

WRiTTEN BY Cassandra:

((Recap))

"I don't care if he's on a plane!" Lily said stubbornly to herself while wiping her tears "I'm calling his cell phone." Quickly, by memory, Lily dialed the 7-digit number. She waited impatiently while the phone rang.

"Hello?" Travis answered.

"Travis!" Lily exclaimed, "I love you, I love you so much!"

((Chapter 4))

Travis was surprised yet angry to be hearing that sweet angelic voice he had cared so long for "If you love me so much then why did I walk in on you and Ray kissing? Answer me that Lily."

Lily was crying more then ever now, people were beginning to stare " I don't know, I was about to explain to Ray that I only saw him as a best friend and not a boyfriend but he kissed me and it felt as if everything disappeared. When you opened that door though it was as if my heart fell to pieces. Travis, please come off that plane and we can talk about this more. I don't know what I would do without you; if you left me, and I love you too much to find out."

There was a moment of silence between the two before Travis spoke as he was doing his best not to let her know he too was crying "Lily, I am going to my uncles for a week. I need to clear my head. I love you too and even though it is only a week, I want you to wait for me. Can you do that?"

Lily was beginning to feel a little relieved but she was still feeling upset so she whispered a somewhat clear "Yes."

Travis smiled wiping away his tears, he began to look around and noticed that he had not seated yet and people were beginning to stare.

"Listen Lily, my plane is about to take off so I have to hang up now, but I love you and I will phone you in a few days." And with that he hung up his phone and turned it off.

Lily was still standing in the terminal crying, before she turned around and started walking to wards home. She was about to unlock her front door when she came up with a brilliant idea . . .

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

Chorus:
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Chorus

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

"Mom, Please it's something I need to do. I love him so much, you may not understand it but I do. Why won't you just let me go?" Lily asked pleading with her mother.

Mrs.Randall shook her head "Lillian you are not flying all the way to England just to be with some silly boy, besides did you not say he would be back in one week?"

Lily sighed "Mom that is not the point, and he is not some silly boy. He is my fate, he is who I want to and will always be with. I don't care that you don't understand this, but you should just support me and let me go to England. I promise I will pay you guys back."

"Lillian, you're not going and that's the end of it, now go up to your room and please stop asking me. Why don't you go do your homework or something?" Mrs.Randall suggested.

Lily sighed " Fine, I should not have been surprised, you guys are always trying to find ways to ruin my life. I'm going to do my homework and go to bed, so good night mom" And she went upstairs to her room and closed the door.

((The next Morning))

Mrs. Randall knocked on her daughters door "Lily time to get up for school." when she did not get a response she figured Lily had not heard her " Lillian it is time to get up and go to school, Right now." Little did she know, her daughter was not in her room. Mrs. Randall was getting fed up and she finally opened the door "PHILLIP GET IN HERE QUICK, LILY IS MISSING AND ALL SHE LEFT WAS THIS NOTE. PHILLLLLLIP."
