Chapter 2 – Lily Admits the Truth

(A/N) Hey guys! I wanted to tell everyone that in the summary, I messed up. Robbie and Kim's relationship will not have any part in this story. Also, I apologize in advanced to all the Ray lovers. You'll have to read on to find out why. Just want to quickly thank purity85 for that kind review! Now, back to the story!

Lily had run to her house, and cancelled her plans with Parker. She spent the night crying her eyes out. She kept on thinking of how much of an idiot Ray was being. She knew that he had liked her for ages, but she didn't know that he would get that defensive when someone else started liking her. Speaking of that, she couldn't believe that Travis actually had a crush on her! Lily had noticed how sweet he was being, but she just thought he felt sorry for her. After all, she had been under a lot of stress lately. She then thought about what she had almost told Robbie. She had kept it inside of herself for so long! Lily decided that she would tell him at school. She needed to get it out of her.

Travis had walked home. He couldn't believe that Lily knew that he liked her. He really hoped this didn't change their friendship too much. He knew that he would have to talk to her at school the next day. That would be interesting. There was something else in the back of Travis mind though. Would Lily choose Ray, or him?

THE NEXT DAY

Lily had woken up, and dragged herself to school. She really didn't want to go, because she didn't know how Ray and Travis were going to act. She didn't see Robbie, Ray or Travis until lunch.

"Hey Robbie," Lily said, as she sat down at the table.

"Hey Lily, the others will be here is a minute. How are you doing," Robbie asked.

"Um...pretty good. I am a bit nervous to face Ray and Travis though," Lily admitted. "I think what really upset me yesterday was how much of an idiot Ray was. I didn't know he liked me that much to get so defensive."

"Achym!" Robbie and Lily heard someone clear their throat and spun around. Ray was standing right behind them.

"Hey guys," Ray said, pretending that he hadn't heard anything. He sat down at the table, right beside Lily.

"Um...Hi Ray," Lily said, putting on a false smile and a fake cheery mood. "How's it going?"

"Honestly, not that well." Ray explained. "I am still upset about what happened yesterday...stupid Travis...having to come and butt in like this-"

Robbie interrupted him, "Ray, SHUT UP! As you can see, -we- are already upset enough," as he silently gestured to Lily.

Tears were welling up in Lily's eyes, but she blinked a few times and brushed them away. Just then, Travis walked up.

"Hey guys...how's everyone doing?" Travis asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Hey Travis...," Lily quietly said. "I'm doing all right...how abo-"

"Why would you care, Strong?" Ray yelled. You don't care about anyone, you only care about yourself!"

Lily froze for a second, then gathered up her stuff and stood up. "I have to go now guys...I have to...um...go somewhere. See you at music class Robbie. Bye," and she hurried off out of the cafeteria, tears starting to flow down her cheeks.

"Nice one Travis!" Ray spat. "You scared her off!"

"Ray!" Robbie said harshly. "How freaking dumb came you be! Travis did NOT scare her off, YOU DID!

"Oh don't be stupid Robbie." Ray stated.

"Its true Ray," Travis said, smirking a little bit. "I guess that you are just so rude, that Lily doesn't, want to be around you any more."

Ray jumped up, and before anyone could stop his, he swung a punch straight at Travis chest. Travis screamed, fell to the ground, and didn't get up.

Ray started to run out of the cafeteria, but Robbie grabbed him and said, "Oh no you don't Ray. You're not running away."

A few teachers ran over to help Travis. He was unconscious for 5 minutes, but he was breathing. An ambulance came, and took Travis to the hospital. Principal Waller came and took Ray to his office, and Ray was suspended until further notice. There was one little problem though. RFR was supposed to go on that day, and Robbie didn't know what to do. He doubted that Travis would be there, and what if Ray decided to punch someone else?

LATER THAT DAY

Lily and Robbie were packing up their instruments from music class. Lily still didn't know about Travis and Ray, but Robbie knew he would have to tell her.

"Hey Robbie?" Lily asked. "Can I talk to you outside for a minute?"

"Sure Lily, I need to tell you something too," Robbie replied.

They walked outside together, and found a nice, private place, with no one in sight.

Lily spoke first. "Okay Robbie. You have to SWEAR not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you okay?"

"Okay Lily," Robbie said. "Is it good or bad news?"

"Um...it depends how you look at it." Lily said, her voice shaking a little bit. She couldn't believe that she was going to tell Robbie one of her deepest secrets. "Robbie, I like Travis. No...I take that back. I think I love Travis." Lily just blurted it out. It felt good, in a way. Now it wasn't bundled up inside of her anymore.

"Wow...wow Lily...I never knew...or thought...wow." Robbie was speechless. He couldn't believe what Lily just told him. She LOVED Travis!?!

"I know...," Lily sighed. "I didn't tell anyone because I was worried about Ray. I have loved Travis for a long time, and when I found out that he liked me, I knew that I had to tell someone."

"I understand Lily, I understand," Robbie said, the shock wearing of a little. "It must feel better getting that out of you. You do know that Ray is going to find out though, and Travis will too?"

"I know, but I'll have to just live with that." Lily said, her voice calming down. "Thanks for listening Robbie, telling you helped a lot. Anyways, what did you want to tell me?"

"Um...its nothing. I will tell you at RFR later." Robbie quickly said.

"Oh, okay. See you later Robbie, and thanks again!" Lily called out, as she started walking home.

EVEN LATER THAT DAY

Lily was already in the station, tuning her guitar, when Robbie walked in. He knew that he was going to have to tell her about Travis soon, but he couldn't bring his heart up to it. She looked so happy.

"Oh, hi Robbie!" Lily said, sounding more cheerful then she had in weeks. "Thanks again for listening to me. It REALLY helped!"

"Ya!" Robbie laughed, smiling. "I've noticed!"

Just then, Ray walked in. Robbie smile faded for a moment. He hoped that Ray wouldn't say anything about Travis.

"Hi Ray," Lily said, halfheartedly.

"Hey Lily and Robbie. Listen Lily; I just wanted to apologize for what happen earlier at lunch. I didn't mean to upset you."

"That's okay Ray," Lily said forgivingly. "I think we all had a bit of a bad day today. Anyways, where's Travis? We are supposed to start is five minutes, and it is not like him to be late?"

Ray started to speak, "Haven't you heard about wh-"

Robbie interrupted, quickly thinking about a lie. "Um...Travis spoke with me earlier, and said that he couldn't make it today. I um... think that it is some sort of Buddha holiday or something."

"Oh, okay, we will just say that Smog is sick or something. Anyways, we better get started; we are on in a minute.

"Okay," Ray said. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, were on."

"This is Radio"

"Free"

"Rosco"

"I'm question Mark, and I'm wondering, what happens to a friendship when two people become more then friends? They can't just stay friends, even if they break up, can they? Listeners, we will take your calls on this topic after you listen to these songs," Robbie said, as he flipped on some songs.

After the break, Robbie took the calls of some people who phoned in.

"Hi Stary, what do you think?"

"Who cares about that! Did anyone see what happened in the cafeteria today! Poor T-"

"Um...we aren't talking about that right now. How about some more songs?" Robbie said, as he started another track.

"Robbie, what happened in the cafeteria today?" Lily asked suspiciously.

"Ah...is nothing Lily," Ray said quickly, glancing at Robbie.

"Ray, Lily has the right to know," Robbie said. "He is her friend too."

"I have the right to know what? What are you talking about?" Lily asked sounding confused.

"Lily, I really don't want to tell you this, but I have to" Robbie started. "In the cafeteria today, after you left, Travis and Ray starting fighting again, and Ray punched Travis in the chest. He was out for five minutes, and an ambulance came and took him to the hospital."

(A/N) So, whadya think? Good? Please R/R! Next Chapter will be up on Monday. Its called Lily's Reaction! Sry that travis had to get hurt, but that's how the story line went!
