Chapter 13: Not So Happy Reunion

(A/N: Okay, who wanted to kill Bridget after last week's episode? I made my boyfriend watch it with me, and he still has the fingernail marks embedded in his arm from my anger. Anyway, I have a job for you guys. I hate the name of this chapter, so whoever can come up with a new name for this one gets ten brownie points and a piece of virtual key lime pie, so happy hunting, as they say! This is where things get bumpy, and this is exactly what all of you Trily fans have been waiting for, so enjoy while I sit and hate the fact that I wrote this.)

I sighed and looked at my watch. I had been sitting on the couch for over an hour, listening to my fiancé and his former flame chat about "old times" all night and honestly, I was sick of it. I didn't want to be rude, but I had been ignored most of the night, and it sucked.

Lily and Ray had invited us both to their house for dinner when they found out we were in town. Robbie was invited too, and I was more than happy to see him again. He kept me san for most of the night, but he seemed bothered about something and bid everyone good night, leaving me by myself.

"Remember when I ran for freshman student council president?"

"And you dyed your hair pink?" She nodded in reply. "I still have that pink wig. I can't believe I kept it," he replied, laughing.

Then Lily laughed too. I saw something in his eyes; something I had never seen there before. It was a sparkle; his smile had gone all the way to his eyes, which didn't seem so stormy anymore, more of a baby-blue. The sight made my heart fall and I felt tears stinging my eyes.

I stood up and excused myself to the bathroom. I couldn't watch anymore.

I hid out in the washroom until around midnight, when I was sick of being in isolation and I retreated, stretching my legs that had been asleep for the hour I had been sitting down.

I walked down the hall and back into the living room to see Travis saying goodbye to Ray and Lily.

"There you are, Del. Where did you disappear to?" he asked, when he saw me walk into the room.

"I wasn't feeling to well. I must be getting the flu from the cold weather or something," I said, walking over to say goodbye also.

We climbed into Travis's mother's car and drove home in silence.
