Chapter 14
"Hey everyone lets make a whip" Ray called across the ice. "I don't
know if thats such a good idea Ray, someone always seems to get hurt
when that happens" Lily replied back nervously. Travis took her hand
as they were skating around " don't worry Lily i will keep a good hold
on you, and i won't let go" he said confidently. "OK, i guess it could
be fun" Lily replied a little less nervous. "Thats the spirit" Travis
laughed as he pulled her to wards the end of the whip. Since Ray was
at the beginning of the whip he thought he would have some fun with
the person at the end, little did he know that it was his lifelong best
friend Lily at the end. Ray decided he was going to pick up the pace
and started taking quite a few sharp turns causing Lily to let out a
blood curdling scream "Hey Ray, slow it down" he heard Travis
calling from near the end of line. Ray thought that Travis was just
telling him to slow down because he could not handle it. What Ray
did not know that Travis was yelling for him to slow down because
Travis was losing his grip on Lily and he did not want her to get hurt.
Suddenly Ray felt a hard jerk on his arm, when he finally pulled to a
stop he turned to see Lily sitting down on the ice holding her ankle
screaming in pain. Travis was knelt down beside her trying to get her
ice skate off just in case her ankle swelled, once the skate was off he
stood up and faced Ray "what is your problem man? I was telling you
to slow down for a reason." Ray looked down at his skates " I'm sorry,
i didn't realize that you were screaming to slow down because lily
was falling. I thought you were just screaming to slow down because
you could not handle it or something." Travis's lips formed into a
straight line and he looked as if he was about to explode "ME? Look
at me Ray do i look like someone who could not handle it? maybe
next time you go ice skating and want to do a whip someone else
should be the leader, Someone who knows what they are doing."
Robbie finally stepped in " hey can you guys knock
off the fighting for now, we need to find some way to get lily to the
hospital." Both Travis and ray looked at him as if they had not heard a
word Robbie had just said so Kim spoke up " i live just down the
street so i can quickly run home, grab my car. It only fits four people
so i guess Robbie and I can take you and Travis. OK Lily?" she asked
turning around. Lily just nodded while still in a substantial amount of
pain. Kim quickly skated off the ice to take off her skates, quickly run
home and get her car. Robbie and Travis both helped Lily up and
carefully carried her off the ice while Ray and Audrey just stood in
awe at what happened. Just as Ray was about to follow the rest of the
group off the ice Audrey grabbed his arm " That was kind of ignorant
ignoring their screams for you to stop, whether you thought Travis
could handle it or not." Rays continued to look at his skates " I know
and I'm sorry, i have learned my lesson, come on, i should get you
home because don't you have something else to do today?" Audrey
started smiling and nodding " yes i do,
I'm going to dye my hair and surprise everyone with how good it will
look. hey when I'm done you want to goto the movies?" Ray looked
up at her and grinned " sure, but hey aren't i supposed to be the one
asking you out?" Audrey grabbed his hand " come on let's go i have to
get home, because the sooner i get home means the sooner i do my
hair, and the sooner we are making out in the theater." Ray followed
behind her chuckling " i love the way you think." With that Ray and
Audrey left the skating rink but not before Ray
stopped off to apologize to Lily who was still holding her ankle in
pain. She noticed someone step in front of her as she was looking at
her ankle, she looked up "what do you want Ray? have you come back
to hurt the other one too?" she asked angrily. ray looked like he was
about to cry "No, Lily actually I've come to apologize for being such
an inconsiderate moron. I should have slowed down or even stopped
when Travis yelled at me the first time. I just want you to know i
never nor will i ever intentionally mean to hurt you in anyway. Since i
can't come to the hospital with you, i will call you later and maybe
come over and see how your doing if thats OK." Lily's anger had
subsided slightly and her lips turned into a much smaller frown then
what she had minutes before " i guess that's OK, right now I'm
concentrating on making sure this thing is not broken" she said with a
little more ease in her voice while pointing to her ankle. "I'm sure it
will be OK, you're strong and i think it would take a lot more then
that fall to break any of your bones. Anyways i have to get going
because i gotta get Audrey home, but i will call you later" he replied.
As soon as ray and Audrey left, Kim finally showed up with her black
mustang convertible GT. Lily took one look at it and asked "this will
fit all of us won't it?" Robbie Nodded" yeah, I've been in it once or
twice its bigger on the inside. so you ready then Lil?" "yes, let's get
me to that hospital" Lily replied happier now that she had her
transportation to the hospital. Lily and Kim sat in the front while
Travis and Robbie squished into the backseat.
