A/N: First off I would like to thank my kind and wonderful reviewers who have gotten me so close to my goal (Only 2 to go and then I'll set a new one!) jhhhhjfjk89, LyingUnder-BlueMoons, and Crizzy4RFR! And no it wasn't too much trouble getting part 20 out to you guys, I rather had fun writing that part :)! I would also like to inform my unregistered readers that anonymous reviews have been enabled. I had no clue that they weren't and when I found out they were I kicked myself and quickly enabled them. It isn't fair for you guys to not be able to share your opinions and I also realize that sometimes it's easier to tell the truth if I don't know who you are. Also if you like Degrassi feel free to check out my latest fic Behind Brown Eyes. But enough with the rambling, on to the show!
Part 21: Part of the Deal
Travis was not expecting a call from Lily today, but when she said it was urgent he had no choice but get to her place quickly. They rarely called each other, and he assumed that this was because she was busy talking to Ray, Robbie, or Parker and in the past even Audrey. So if this really was urgent as she claimed why had she called him? Well he was about to find out as he would soon reach his destination.
There was a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that could be," Lily smiled.
"You really didn't have to tell him it was urgent!" Parker protested.
"I know, but it got him here quicker," Lily countered.
Lily opened the door.
"So Lily what's so urgent?" Travis asked and then he saw Parker and frowned. The look on his face was menacing, and in fact Lily had never seen such an expression on him. "Parker? What're you doing here?"
"Now then, since you're both here," Lily put her arms over their shoulders and dragged them closer together, "We're gonna work out your problems."
"Randall, that wasn't part of the deal!" Parker begged.
"And what do you have to say, Travis? Since you guys hate me we might as well get all our feelings out in the open," Lily explained.
"Lily, are you feeling alright?" Travis asked.
"This isn't about me," She stated. "Now are you guys gonna start talking or do I have to make you?"
"Why were you avoiding me?" Travis asked.
"I was mad," Parker shrugged.
"Well?" Lily nudged them.
But instead of talking the pair sat quietly on Lily's couch. This was not the miraculous 'I forgive you', hug, kiss scene that Lily had pictured, and she didn't even know what was going on. Parker loved to talk and she wasn't talking which really made no sense at all in a situation like this.
But then Travis started to talk, "Look, Parker, what happened happened, that can't be changed, but it's in the past and Buddha teaches to let the past stay in the past."
Parker nodded, "So does that mean we can start dating again?"
Travis didn't seem sure, "I don't know, it depends."
"Depends on what?" Parker asked.
"If we both want to or not," Travis explained.
"Well do you?" Parker question.
Travis smiled, "Only if you do."
Lily had never seen this side of Travis before. He was always cryptic and never shared his feelings. She found it interesting that without even trying Parker could turn him into a softy, and if Lily wasn't mistaken they'd even forgotten she was there. Until she cleared her throat that is, and both heads popped up instantaneously.
"Look, guys, I gotta go," Travis informed them.
Parker frowned, "Already?"
Travis nodded and then quickly left.
"Looks like you two are back together," Lily smiled.
"You think?" Parker asked sarcastically, "Hey, Randall, you wanna go do something?"
Lily looked at her watch, and realized Travis was right it was almost time for a special after hours RFR broadcast, "Sorry, Parker, I gotta go too." And she quickly rushed out leaving a baffled Parker sitting quietly by herself.
"What's up with Randall?" Parker asked herself as she left Lily's house. "She's busy so often that it's almost suspicious. One of these day's I'm gonna follow her and find out what she's up to…and what about Travis?" She laughed to herself, "Looks like I'll be doing a lot of following."
