Chapter 7 – Pestered By Love

Travis and Lily walked down to Roscoe Lake, both thinking about what had just happened with Ray. As they sat down on a bench, Lily relaxed a bit. The scene was beautiful, the stunning lake glistening in the starlight, they dull light of the lamps on the walkway lighting everything up. Travis was taking in the scenery too, and he glanced over at Lily. She looks more beautiful then ever, he thought to himself.

Lily saw Travis starring at her, and shifted herself over to she was sitting right next to him. She leaned against his warm body as he put an arm around her. "Our lives would be almost prefect if Ray wasn't in them." Lily sighed thoughtfully.

"I know sweetheart," Travis said. "I wish that I could help, but I can't."

"You help enough by just being there for me Travis," Lily said. "I don't know what I would do without you."

Travis leaned in and gave Lily an affectionate, gentle kiss. She thoughtfully returned the favor.

----------

After couple minutes, Travis walked Lily back to her house. They shared one last kiss before Lily went back into her house, and Travis walked home.

MEANWHILE

Ray and Robbie had finished up the show, and they had both gone home. Robbie was mad at Ray, like Travis and Lily. How could Ray do that? He asked himself. Ray told them that he would be supportive of their relationship, and like one day later he changed his mind? Some friend!

Ray got into his house and lay back on his bed. He went through the events that had happened that evening. I'm going to have to work hard to get Lily to like me, he decided. I'm going to do some major things for her during the next few days. I hope that will help. Ray grabbed a pen and paper, and starting making some arrangements.

THE NEXT DAY

Lily had woken up and dragged herself to school. The only reason that she went was because she wanted to se Travis. She got to her locker, and was just opening it up. She swung the door open, and saw a box sitting on the shelf. Hmmm…Lily wondered to herself…I wonder what this is. Only three other people know my combination. Ray, Robbie, and Travis. She picked up the box, which had a card on it. All that the card said was, "From someone who cares." Lily slowly open box's lid and gasped. Sitting neatly in the box on top of some pure white tissue paper was a single, yet beautiful, red rose. Oh my! It must be from Travis! Awww, that's so sweet! Lily thought.

Just then, Travis walked up to her. He was surprised to see the rose in her hand. "Who is that from sweetie?" he asked gently.

"Don't play games with my Travis," Lily said jokingly, "I know it is from you!"

"What?" Travis exclaimed. "I've never seen that in my life. It must have been someone else."

"Weird," Lily said, as she put the rose and its box back into her locker. I hope Travis isn't jealous…wait, what am I thinking, Travis isn't that type…is he?

----------

The lunch bell had just rang, and Lily was walking into the cafeteria. As she approached the groups' normal table, she noticed that there was something on it. When she got close enough, she realized that it was a silver platter, with a round lid on it. It looked like it was an expensive gourmet-type meal. She noticed that there was a note on the lid. All that it said was:

To my Dearest Lily,

Enjoy!

Just then, Robbie and Travis came walking up. Lily was pretty sure that the meal came from Travis, but she wasn't 100 sure. It could have been from the same person who left the rose.

"Hey Lily," Robbie said, as he sat down at the table. "What is that?"

Lily gave Travis a quick kiss as he sat down next to her. "I dunno, it looks like some sort of gourmet meal. I don't know who it is from though, there is no name on it, just like the rose."

"What do you mean, the rose?" Robbie asked curiously.

Travis and Lily quickly explained to Robbie what had happened earlier.

"Honestly Lily," Travis said, "I think that Ray might have put it there. He could be trying to make me jealous, hoping that you will fall for him instead."

"You know," Robbie said, "I think your right Travis. It is a stupid idea, which makes me think that it is Ray even more. Speaking of Ray, has anyone seen him?"

"Nope," Lily sighed, "And truthfully, I'm glad. I need a couple hours without him following me around like a dog."

Robbie stood up and gathered up his stuff. "Anyways, I better get going, I have to finish my science essay before third block. See ya after school."

As Robbie walked out of the cafeteria, Lily started to gather up her things to.

"Hey Lily," Travis said, "How about another walk around the lake tonight? It was so beautiful the other day. If you want, we could stop in at Mickey's for a shake afterwards too."

"Cool idea Travis!" Lily said happily. "I'd love to go! How about 7:00 at the bench we were at last night?"

"Sounds good to me!" Travis said joyfully. "We better get ready for next class. Come on, let's go.

---------

School was over, and the gang had just finished RFR. Ray had shown up, but didn't talk to anyone at the station. Robbie had left, saying something about forgetting his book at school. Travis had left in a hurry too, probably getting ready for his date that night, but not without giving Lily a small kiss, and handing her a box. Before she could open it, Travis ran out of the station.

The box was only and inch high, and pure white. Lily slowly took the lid off. Inside, there was a slip of paper. It said

Lily,

A start of our wonderful date tonight!

Love from Travis

She moved the paper, and gasped. In front of her laid a beautiful silver necklace. The chain was silver, and on it was a silver heart, with a small diamond in the center. Oh My God! This is beautiful! I can't believe that Travis gave me this! I will have to wear it tonight!

Ray leaned over to see what it was. He was shocked. Crap, if Travis keeps on treating her like this, there is no way that I will win Lily's heart! They have a date tonight; I have to think of something…Ray got out of his seat and left the station, without saying a word to Lily.

Weird, Lily thought to herself. I hope Ray will be okay…I mean, he is being a jerk about all this, but he has been my friend for so long…what am I thinking about this for…I gotta date! She quickly gathered up her stuff and hurried out of the station.

----------

Ray was walking past Travis's house when he saw Travis coming out the front door. This is my big chance. "Hey, Travis!" He called, walking over to him.

"Hey Ray, can I talk to you later?" Travis asked. "I got a big date with Lily to get to!"

"Ya, It is about that." Ray said, improvising. "I saw Lily a couple seconds ago leaving in her family's car. She yelled out the window to tell you that something really, really important came up, and she had to go with her family immediately."

"Are you serious?" Travis asked, stunned.

"Yup, sorry man." Ray replied sincerely. "What do you say you come over to my house? We can hang out there for a bit."

"Sure…I guess…" Travis said, clearly upset.

MEANWHILE

It was just coming up to seven o'clock, and Lily was waiting patiently on the bench by the lake. She was wearing nice, black pants and a red sweater. She had her hair all pulled up, silver hoop earrings in, and was wearing the bracelet that Travis had given her.

I wonder what is keeping him…Lily asked herself. He wouldn't stand me up, I know Travis, and he wouldn't do that.

Five minutes passed, then ten, and soon half an hour. Lily sat on the bench, nearly in tears. How could Travis do this to me? He knew that I was looking forwards to this night. That's it, I'm leaving! Lily ran home, and fell onto her bed, crying.

After a good cry, she decided to phone Travis. There was no answer. Next she called Robbie, and there was no answer there either. She really didn't feel like talking to Ray, but she called him anyways. He might have heard from Travis.

"Hello, Ray Brennan speaking." Ray said.

Lily sighed. "Hey Ray, its Lily, this is going to be a weird question, but have you seen Travis anywhere? He didn't show up for our date."

Travis had just left Ray's house luckily, and Ray replied, "You mean the date was with you? He mentioned something about a date, but I saw him at Mickey's with Audrey a few minutes ago."

Lily was in shock. "What…are you serious?"

"No," Ray lied, "I'm positive." Luckily, Ray knew that Travis was headed to Mickey's.

"Ray," Lily said, starting to sob lightly. "I'll meet you at Mickey's in ten minutes, okay?"

"Okay Lily, see you there." Ray replied.

Oh shit, Ray thought. I know that Travis is at Mickey's, but how do I know that Audrey will be there? I'll have to take a chance I guess.

MEANWHILE

Travis was sitting at a table in Mickey's, really bummed out. Audrey saw him, and went and sat across from him. Audrey and Travis used to go out, but they had talked, and reached a just friends level.

"Hey Travis." She said. "Is something wrong?"

Travis sighed. "This couldn't be any more wrong! Ray is being nice, but a jerk at the same time, I had a big date with Lily tonight, but she had to cancel it at the last minute-"

Travis looked up, and saw Lily standing in the doorway. She stared at him, then Audrey, and burst into tears. Before Travis could do anything, she ran out of the building.

(A/N) YES! IM FINSIHED! YAH! lol, sry, I'm really excited. And to top it off, I left you on a MAJOR cliffhanger! Hehehe! I'm evil! Anyways, please R/R! Thanks!
