Lily was walking down the hall that afternoon. She didn't know what to do. Ray was the one she had always wanted to be with, but lately she didn't feel the same. It might be that he hurt her, or was it that she just didn't love him anymore. She saw Ray walking in her direction. Concentrating hard she looked at him... There were too many mixed feelings for her to decide whether she liked him or not. What she did fell was the sadness of not really having him as a friend anymore.
" Yo Lily!" Ray yelled from across the hallway.
"Hey Ray"
" I was just wondering if you wanted to meet me at Mickeys Tonight. I think we need to talk, and work some stuff out." Ray looked nervous.
" Uh, ya I guess. How about sevenish?" Lily really didn't want to go, but she missed Ray as a friend so she didn't have any other choice. Blowing him off would just put more strain on their friendship.
"Great I'll see you there.
Lily got to Mickeys right at seven hoping that Ray wouldn't be late because she wanted to get this over with. When she went in Ray was already sitting there with flowers in his hand.
"Hi Lily. These are for you."
"Hey Ray. Thanks for these they're beautiful" Lily really wanted Ray as a friend, but if he was making stupid attempts to go out with her she didn't know if they could be friends.
" Lily, you need to know how sorry I am for hurting you. I never wanted that to happen. I just, well I had Grace. She was my girlfriend. How could I have ditched her for someone who rejected me not too long ago." Ray was sad that their friendship was over because of this.
"I wasn't asking you to ditch her. I just wanted you to understand, but all you said was sorry Lily I have Grace now it's too late for you. Then you almost seemed to get mad at me for telling you. But how could I not tell you Ray?" Lily was really upset now.
" I wasn't mad at you for telling me. I was mad at myself for giving up on you before and going out with Grace. If I had known that you loved me before I had gone out with her things would be very different. But I am here today to say I'm sorry for hurting you Lily. I love you. I always had. That's why I broke up with Grace, To see if I could have you back. But I guess I hurt you too much. Maybe we shouldn't hang out anymore." Ray got up to leave but before he could Lily pulled him close and kissed him. He kissed back. Ray was so happy. Lily was happy in a way. Finally she was kissing Ray, but something was off. She opened her eyes and loked at him kissing her. She felt nothing. Lily pulled away. Ray looked at her so lovingly that Lily forgave him instantly, but that didn't change the fact that she didn't feel anything for him except the longing for friendship.
