Fourth chapter

Travis went to The Underground to see if Robbie was still there, he just wanted someone to talk to about Ray, or more specifically insult him as much as he could, but when he got there he was already gone, so he sat down on the read couch and started crying, he couldn't even remember the last time he had cried, but right now he just couldn't help it, he cried for about five minutes until he heard someone coming down the stairs and he tried to wipe his tears off so whoever it was didn't know he had been crying. It was Lily and she knew Travis had been crying, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

"Travis I'm so sorry" she said sadly "I never thought Ray would take it this way"

Travis just looked down, and said nothing

"I just talked to him" she sighed "he said he could never forgive you, that you had betrayed him…"

"What else is new?" Travis interrupted laughing softly

"Talking to him" Lily said "made me change my mind"

"About what?"

"About caring more about his friendship then having a relationship with you" Lily said not looking at Travis

"You mean…" Travis began, but Lily leaned closer to him and kissed him. Though his reaction wasn't what she had expected, she just looked at her, a "not-so-happy" look on his face

"What's wrong?" she asked

"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but… I feel guilty now"

"Why?"

"Well I haven't even talked to him, I just want to tell him how I feel, and that I never meant to hurt him" Travis sighed "I just… I want to explain it to him"

"Well you already tried that and his obviously not listening"

"I know, but I have to try at least once more, if he doesn't want to listen then I wont feel guilty anymore, but… I just have to try"

"Ok, I guess, if that's what you want" said Lily not sounding very convinced "he said he was going to Mickey's"

"Great! Wish me luck" said Travis standing up

"You're going to need it" Lily whispered at his ear as she kissed him softly on the cheek

"Ray!" Travis yelled when he spotted Ray, just few blocks away from Mickey's. Ray heard him but he ignored him

"Ray just listen to me, please" said Travis. Ray ignored him again so Travis stood in front of him, and started walking backwards

"Ray please!"

"Why Travis?" said Ray not stopping "Give me one good reason to listen to you"

"I just want to explain"

"Forget it!"

"What do you want Ray?" said Travis looking back making sure he wasn't going to crash against something "Do you want to hit me? Then do it!"

"Leave… me… alone!" said Ray getting pissed

"I won't unless you listen to me! I know you want to hit me, just do it!"

Ray couldn't take it anymore and punched Travis in the face so hard he fell to the floor

"Can we talk now?" said Travis a little dizzy as he got up

"You're not going to hit me back" asked Ray surprised

"Well I told you to hit me, so no" said Travis massaging his cheek. "Can we talk?"

"Whatever" said Ray. They were right in front of Mickey's now sp they went in and sat on a booth near the entrance

"What do you want" said Ray

"I just want you to understand that I never meant to hurt you"

Lily (who had decided to follow Travis, because she was worried) saw them through the window

"Right…" said Ray

Lily (who was inside Mickey's now) slowly sat on the booth next to Travis and Ray, without them noticing

"Ray, after you walked on us… well… you know…"

"About to kiss?"

"Yeah… that, Lily and I talked and she told me that if she had to pick between being friends with you and having a relationship with me she would pick you..."

"Wait, wait" Ray interrupted "let me get this straight. So Lily told you she would rather have a relation with me than with you? Where exactly are you going with this?"

"She didn't say 'relation', she said 'friendship', which is exactly my point Ray, she doesn't see you as a boyfriend, she sees you as a friend maybe even as a brother!"

"But she told Robbie she had feelings for me"

"Yes because you guys are more than friends, but if she really had feelings for you, don't you think she would've said something already?"

"But…" Ray began

"Anyway, Lily already told me she changed her mind, and that she would pick me over you, but you guys have been friends since forever, and I know eventually she's going to change her mind and she's going to break-up with me, because of you, and then I wont ever talk to you again, I probably wont even talk to Lily again either, then Lily would get angry at you for being such a baby and making us break-up and she's going to stop talking to you and it wont be long before Robbie gets sick of the three of us and our problems and he stops being friends with us too!"

Ray said nothing, he knew Travis was right, but how could he be sure Lily had said that?

"I'm not even sure I believe you, I have to talk to Lily first

"Ray…!" said Travis trying to stop him from leaving, not that it was necessary

"He's right Ray" said Lily coming out of her hiding place

"But, I…" said Ray, with a surprised look on his face

"Ray you are my best friend and if he dated and then broke-up…"

"But we wouldn't…"

"You don't know that, we're too young. I would never jeopardize our friendship, and I'm sorry but I don't have feelings for you that way

"Please, I… we" she said looking at Travis "want you to understand, please don't make it harder for us"

"Do you really like him" said Ray after a few seconds of silence

"Yes, I do" said Lily laughing softly

"Then I guess, there's nothing I can do" said Ray hugging Lily

"Thank you Ray, you're the best" said Lily smiling

"So…" said Travis "Are you really ok with this?"

"Well I'll have to get used to it, but I'll be okay with time… I hope

Just treat her right, ok?"

"Of course" said Travis

"Well gotta go then, I have a math quiz tomorrow" said Ray and left

Lily sat next to Travis and kissed him

"Hey wait a sec" said Travis a part of Lily's speech popping into his mind "we're young too, we could break-up, you don't mind jeopardizing our friendship?"

"C'mon! You're more mature than Ray. I'm pretty sure if you were on his place you wouldn't have acted the way he did, would you?"

"I… guess" said Travis remembering they way he felt after leaving detention

It was then that Lily noticed Travis was rubbing his face, which was a little purple now

"Oh my God! Did ray do that to you?"

"I kinda asked him to"

"Aww, Travis" said Lily as she kissed him where Ray had punched him and then on the lips

"Anyway" said Travis after a while "That's one down"

"What do you mean" asked Lily confused

"Audrey"

"Oh! I was so worried about Ray, I completely forgot about her! What are we going to do?"

"I guess we'll have to talk to her tomorrow…"

Ok so, I'm not sure you're getting this "please review!" part, so I guess I'll explain again, all you have to do is click in "post review" and then "go" after that, you just have to write "Great story", "God job", or anything you can think of, so ok, got it? Yes...? Anyone…?

Lol, c'mon please review!
