Oh yes... its back... sorry for the wait. I dont know what happened and I dont expect any of you to be impressed but I just started thinking about this story and felt it was time.

Hope you enjoy

The next morning I woke up with what I would belive to be the worst headache of my life. I didn't want to go to school and I didn't want to hang out at the studio after work. I wanted to lie in bed and to be alone. I didn't want to tell Lily what happened, and I didn't want to hear her talk about Ray. I didn't want Travis to appoligize for anything, which he was so good at and I didn't even want to think about Robbie.

My alarm started ringing.

I reached over and slammed my hand down on the top to shut it up. My mom came into my room with her perky morning voice and sat down on the edge of my bed and set down a cup of coffee for me on my night stand. She was going out of town this weekend and I had originally planned to have the rest of the gang over for the weekend but now I didn't want to move from bed.

"Ok sweetheart, my credit card is with my car keys. If you need anything please don't hesitate to call me. I left your cell phone on the charger, please make sure to do that because I don't want you to get stranded anywhere. And all the information about where I'm staying and my schedule I left for you on the table. There's plenty of food in the fridge and if you have your friends over please do not go into the den cabinet. You know how I feel about other people drinking in my house. If you need anything your brother is aware of where I will be and I told him to check in with you. I also went next door to Mrs. Shipman's, shes a lovely woman I cant-"

"MOM!"

"Oh right, so… everything is in order. You will be all right?"

"Yes."

"Ok… well I will call you as soon as I land. And… well… just be good ok? And if you smell gas or there is any type of an emergency call 911 and then your broth-"

"Mom…"

"Right." She stood up and kissed my forehead. "Get up, you are going to be late for school."

20 minuets later I heard her yell up the stairs at me more on how to handle the weekend by myself and I heard a car horn honk and she front door slam. I turned over, still in bed and began to cry.

3 hours later, and 20 minuets into second period photography class I had with lily my cell phone began to ring. I knew I was going to have to explain it to her sooner or later so I answered.

"What?"

"Where are you? You sound horrible!"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Did you see Travis!"

I laughed. "Yeah… and he saw me and Robbie."

"Oh no."

"Oh, yes."

"Oh megs, what happened?"

I explained to her what happened and that I didn't want to deal with anything so I was taking a personal day. I told her that I had to go though and that I would talk to her later. She could stop by after the show or whatever. Then I hung up.

Around lunch time I was up and running I just hadn't got dressed or brushed my hair let alone put on any makeup. I was in the kitchen sitting on the counter drinking some kind of espresso drink I managed to come up with, thinking about the entire situation, when the back door to the kitchen began to make a noise.

I got up and answered the door and Ray was standing before me.

He looked at me and I started to cry.

He came over and wrapped his arms around me and let me cry on him for the next few minuets.

I wasn't exactly sure how, but about an hour later Ray and I were sitting in my living room and I was explaining to him everything I was feeling.

"Robbie just wants you to be happy."

"I know but how am I supposed to be happy, say if it is with Travis, knowing that I betrayed him like that."

"Ok. I don't know how I am saying this, because, well, I'm me. But here's what I think. Robbie is better off being friends with you, seeing you happy with travis then having you persue a relationship with him that you never wanted in the first place."

It all made sence but I felt as if he was attacking me.

"And what about Robbie and Travis?"

"Listen, I have been friends with Robbie since we were kids ok? And yeah, the guy and I have been through a lot together but, when travis moved here him and Robbie had a relationship that he and I never really had. And it wasn't because we lacked anything, it just wasn't the kind of friendship Robbie and I had. Robbie and I have the type of friendship where we can play pranks on eachother or sit and watch a movie without saying anything, and we know when to talk when its not going to but the other one. Robbie and travis had the type of relationship that… I don't know. Travis was the one who pretty much started this radio station for Robbie. The two always have intelligent things to say to eachother. Yeah, I know, the two are more mature than I am. I am ok with that because I am happy how I am now." He smiled. "I love Lily, I love doing this radio show. I love to be around you and, Robbie is my best friend. Travis and I always had a sort of weird relationship but I was sad to see him leave and I am happy he is back. I don't want him to be upset, I don't want you to be upset and I don't want Robbie upset. This will work itself out. But you need to do what your heart tells you."

I was dumbfounded. I had never heard Ray say anything like that before.

"Well, now all we have to do is take you down to American Eagle and you can clean up good Brennan."

He laughed. "I know, its scary right?"

I laughed with him. It meant a lot to me that Ray would leave school and risk the wrath of his father finding out to come and take care of me.

"Thank you." I said and I got up and hugged him.
