I Haven't updated in a 'while' but I really want to finsh this story... I really like it... I hope you will too... It's almost done now...
I, Rally4ever/ J.T13do notown RFR, it's characters, or it's affiliates. As Always, Thanks for reading.
It's been a while... So back track a little from where I left off...
Shocked, Ray asks, "Why didn't you tell me"
"Because I thought by then, it'd be too late..."
"It should never be too late, Lil."
Another voice comes into play, "Sweets, I've been looking all over for you... I think we should get back to the dance."
"Yeah, let's go River. I'll be right in, behind you."
River turns giving "Brennan" a death stare, cold as ice.
But Ray didn't care about him, he had bigger things to worry about.
Lily has her hand on the door handle. She doesn't look at him as she says, "Ray, maybe this time it is too late..."
With that. She disappears behind the safety of the gym doors.
Ray looks at the doors disbelieving, almost like a lost puppy. Expecting them to open back up any minute now.
They don't.
He can't breathe. He needs to get out of there. Away from the spot where his heart broke for good.
Dancing A Lie...
Lily made back in through the doors, when River puts his arm out to escort her out into the gynasisum...
She didn't look back, but her 'mind' was there... with Ray... always 'on' Ray (light a switch she couldn't turn off)... Why can't she 'shake' him?
Lily shakes her head, as if to rouse herself from a 'trace'...
People were watching her as she make her way through the crowd, "RIVER'S GIRL"... the Special, "CHOSEN" ONE...
'Smile Randall, smile put on that 'face,' make River look good, just like 'everything' else in his life...
She cares about River, she really does...
WHY ISN'T IT ENOUGH?
She's Dancing with him now, She hardly noticed they started.
You know... River could have his 'choice' of girls. BUT it's not like she felt like she was really 'HIS' anyway, WHY IS THAT?
She starts to smile to herself... SHE KNOWS THE ANSWER.
River makes a comment, "SWEETS, I think that's the first time I've seen a 'REAL' smile on you all night..."
She looks up at him after a moment, "Huh? Um... Yea. I guess these 'kind of' dances never give me much to 'smile' about…"
River asks playfully, "Well, I hope I 'give' you something to 'smile' about..."
She responds, "You know, River. I'm sorry. You really don't..."
River stops her, "WHAT, I DON'T."
Lily bemusing says, "NO, not as much as Ray does..."
River states, "OH, BRENNAN, I SEE. Then, I'm sorry this 'couldn't work out..."
Lily takes her hands from around River's neck, and says, "Well, I'm not. He is the 'ONE' ... I've been 'foolish' to fight it." Lily laughs at herself.
River shakes his head, "I know. SO… you finally 'realize' it too, huh? "
"Yeah, Time for me to stop playing the 'fool'…" Lily answers and excuses herself with a smile.
