Chapter 8: Always on my Mind

(A/N: Travis POV)

I can't get her out of my head. Her dark eyes, the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she gets nervous, the way she smiles.

I shook my head, clearing the mental cobwebs away and stood up. I had been trying to meditate, but Delilah's face and sweet voice kept running through my head, interrupting me.

I can't believe I was letting this happen. I was completely head over heels in love with her and it scared me.

I picked up a picture of Delilah and me at the school's T-ball fundraiser. She had a Marlins' baseball cap, a coke in her hand and was sitting in my lap. She had the goofiest look on her face. She hated posing for pictures.

"I have no idea what to do. I need help."

I picked up my phone and dialed Robbie's phone number. I didn't get an answer, so I tried his cell phone.

"Hello?" He sounded groggy. He must have just woken up.

"Hey, Robbie, it's Travis. I've got a question for you."

"Well, you guys didn't call me 'Question Mark' without reason. Shoot."

"Do you think love is worth getting hurt over?"

"Yeah, of course it is. Why do you ask? Is this about Lily?"

"No, a friend of mine here in Miami. I can't stop thinking about her. I'm just scared."

"So, who is this girl? Why haven't I heard anything about her?" he prodded.

"Her name is Delilah." No reply. "Robbie, are you there?"

"Oh yeah, just spaced out. Sorry. So, uh, tell me more about her." I could hear hesitation in his voice.

"She's amazing. She makes me feel things I thought I would never feel again. She's beautiful, she's perfect."

"I can imagine. Listen man, I have to go. My advice is to go for it. You let one get away and you spend a long time regretting it. Don't let it happen again."

"Thanks Robbie, I knew you could help."
"Remember, you can never tell when love will pull a sneak attack on you."

(A/N: This chapter made me feel really bad for Robbie. I almost wanted to make Travis disappear just so Robbie could finally get the girl, but then the rest of the plot wouldn't make much sense, so I guess this is just the way it has to be.
