"No, you're lying, she… she can't be…dead….you're lying to me right, RIGHT PARKER, TELL ME THAT YOU ARE LYING TO ME, TELL ME PARKER, THAT THIS IS JUST SOME BIG JOKE AND LILY IS HIDING AROUND THE CORNER."
"I'm sorry Ray, I wish I was lying, but I'm not." Said Parker as she began to cry
Ray couldn't believe it, his one true love was gone from him…forever, he couldn't take it, he wanted to die, he wanted to just end it all, at least then he could be with her, there was nothing more on this earth for him, he wanted her, he needed her, he couldn't live without her.
"Bye Parker." He said
"Ray, where are you going?" Asked Parker
"Don't worry about it." He replied
"Ray, I can't let you leave." Said Parker
"And why is that Parker, why can't I go, there is nothing more for me here, why can't I just…go."
"Because of Lily, Ray, she loved you, she would not want you to do this, don't do it for me, or you even, do it for her."
This hit close to home with Ray, he knew that Parker was right, Lily would not want him to do this, and she would want him to continue on with his life and try to be happy, even though she wasn't with him.
"Okay Parker, you're right, I'm not leaving, I'll stay."
"Thank you Ray, thank you."
Ray decided to try to act as normal as possible for now, he went through the entire school day with the eyes of the school on him, everyone was coming up to him saying how sorry they were that she was gone, he hated it, them being sorry wasn't going to bring her back, these people didn't know her, at least, not like he knew her, he just hated how these people could go on ignoring her for her entire life but when she's gone they are so sorry about it. He acted normal for the day and the came RFR, when he got there Travis and Robbie were already there.
"Ray, we need to talk about what happened" Said Robbie
"Let's just do the show."
The show was going fine, until a caller asked where shady lane was. At this, Ray took of his headphones, went to the couch and started to cry, to answer the caller's question, Robbie said that she moved away, after the show, Ray was just sitting on the couch by himself when Travis came to talk to him.
"Ray, you need to talk to someone about this, we need to talk about this."
"Travis, the only thing connecting us was Lily, and now she's gone, so there is nothing for us to talk about, just…leave me alone, I wish everyone would just leave me alone."
