Four days had passed since the "incident"; and Ray hadn't been to school in all of that time. Lily and Robbie were getting worried, and upset.
"What if something's wrong, like really wrong." Lily turned to Robbie. It was the first time they had spoken in days, it had been quite awkward for them.
Robbie was taken aback when Lily started talking. "Oh Lily I'm sure he's fine. I mean what could be wrong?" For the past few days Robbie had been really upset. He and Lily had had a beautiful moment and now it was gone.
"Well I don't know, but... I just don't know. He should be here." Lily was actually worried.
"Lily I'm sure he's fine. Stop worrying."
"Ok I'll stop." Lily looked at Robbie. He was staring deep into her eyes. HE looked quite pitiful. She wanted to lean in and kiss him, but when she looked at him she just felt wrong. The whole thing felt a little off. Just then Kim came walking up. She wrapped her arms around Robbie's neck and kissed him. He kissed back, but all the while he was staring at Lily. Lily felt as if her heart had just been smashed into a million pieces. She then remembered that Robbie hadn't had a chance to break up with Kim yet. When Robbie and Kim stopped kissing he stepped away from her.
"Kim. We really really need to talk." Robbie said to Kim.
"O...k. Sure meet me at Mickeys tonight, and we'll talk." She tried to sound joyous but Kim knew that something was wrong. After Kim walked away Robbie spoke again.
"Lily I'm sorry I just haven't had a chance-"
"It's fine." Lily faked a smile. " I have to go now, we should talk later. Yeah Ok see ya" She walked off to class. Robbie watched her walk away. His heart breaking that he couldn't make any of this easier for Lily.
Ray opened his eyes and looked out the window. He looked over at the clock. 10:30.
"I guess I'm missing school again." He didn't really care. He felt as if there was no reason to live anymore. He got up and had a shower. It helped a little, but he just couldn't muster the will to do anything else. He crawled back into bed. After another hour of sleep he woke up, and turned on the radio. Lily's song was playing of course. HE started to cry. Not just one glistening tear; He actually started to bawl. He was just so broken hearted that he couldn't stop crying for over an hour.
The next day Ray was back at school. He felt as if he didn't belong there anymore, like he didn't fit in. He felt as if he was watching everything happen instead of living it. While walking down the hall he spotted Lily. She was crying. His first instinct was to run over there, and ell her everything would be ok. But he just couldn't. He didn't feel any connection to her anymore. And he doubted that he ever would.
Lily was sitting on one of the benches with her head in her hands. She felt so awful. She felt as if she wasn't even the same person anymore. She tried to regain her composure. She looked up. Ray was standing in the middle of the hallway looking at her. AS soon as they made eye contact he turned in the other direction. Lily couldn't contain herself. She started bawling right there in the middle of the hallway. Robbie walked passed cougar radio and noticed that Kim was red faced, and puffy eyed. She didn't notice him thankfully. He suspected that she wouldn't want to see him after what happened the night before. He had ended their relationship. He was relieved, but he also felt strange, like he missed her. He brushed the feeling to the side when he noticed Lily crying. He ran over to her.
"Lily what's wrong. Are you ok?"
"Yeah... I'm ok." She brushed away the tears. She looked up at Robbie; the boy she had given everything to. Her mind body and spirit, but all she felt was pain and regret. The love she thought she had felt for him was now turned into a sick painful feeling that she wished she could take back. "Robbie, I... think we need to talk."
"My thoughts exactly. I think in a few days we can bring our relationship out. We shouldn't just yet, I mean I just broke up with Kim." Robbie smiled at her. Lily winced.
"Robbie. I don't think we should bring our "relationship" out in the open."
"What do you
mean?"
"Well I mean, think about Ray. It will hurt him even
more then we already have." Lily looked away.
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter about him anymore. I know that sounds awful, but this is about us, and what we've found."
"Yeah I guess... But-"
"But what? There are no buts. We like each other, and we have the right to be together. I mean after what we did there isn't anything stopping us. And Lily, I think I love you."
"Robbie I'm so sorry."
"Sorry about what?"
"I'm sorry I have to do this now."
"Do what now?"
"Robbie it's just that, I just think that we're just two really great friends, who made a really big mistake."...
Authors note:
I have decided, for
future plotlines, that it is almost the end of grade 10 for them.
Thankyou for reading.
