3:30AM, and I couldn't get to sleep, so I decided to listen to my iPod... What do ya know? 'Only Hope' by Mandy Moore comes on, which is when I start getting all of these ideas for Pheely Oneshots! Knowing that I'd forget all about them, if I had put them aside, I decided to get typing... Took about 2 hours, but oh well... Anywho, this song doesn't really have much to do with the story, but it kind of does... I thought it would be cute.
Summary- Graduation is near, and Keely still has a few regrets...She can only hope that she'll be able to fill in that empty spot, before time runs out. Cute Pheely OneshotSongfic. 'Only Hope'- Mandy Moore.
Disclaimer- Don't. Own. Nothin'... Except the story and it's plot... And occasionally, I like to imagine that I own Phil, 'cause I have the hots for him, but that's ALL!
Might be a few mistakes; I tried my best to write in Present Tense, but I might be off on a few lines.
-----------------------------------------------------
Keely's POV- Present Tense.
There's
a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to
write over and over again
I sit there, on the top of
my roof, huddled up into a ball; my knees pulled up to my chest,
staring. Deep in thought. Just staring up at the sky. I hear rattling
from behind, as he climbs out of my window, and joins me. I smile
politely, trying not to express the feeling within. Trying not give
off hints, yet I can't help but turn bright red, as he wraps his arms
around me.
I'm awake in the infinite
cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
He takes no notice to my flush face, as he begins to talk. Talk about how things are going to change. How things might never be the same. By tomorrow, we'd all be different people. By graduation, everything'll be different. I had planned on going to a different college than he. We had this summer together, and had to make the most of it, before time was up. Sure, we'd planned to stay in contact, and call each other everyday, but that still didn't fill up that empty hole that I had imagined I would have.
So I lay my
head back down
And I lift my hands
A single tear makes it's
way down my flush cheek. I bite my lip, and take in every single word
he was says. I don't want things to end... Not like this, I mean. Not
this fast. Time was
quickly slipping from my hands, and I wasn't doing anything about it,
I needed to catch up. I had always imagined being with Phil, by now.
Unfortunately, I never actually built up the courage to tell him.
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be
only Yours
I know now you're my only hope
I wanted to be his,
though, I wanted to be with him...
but it was pointless to try now... Within hours, nothing would ever
be the same. I mentally kick myself, every night, as I think about
how things could be.
How they would be. If
I could, I would go back in time, change things... Maybe then, we'd
be... together. Maybe
then, it wouldn't feel like things were coming to an end, and
fast. Sing to me the song of the
stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
I rest my head on his
shoulder, "Phil..." I whisper in a barely audible tone.
"Hmm?" He continues to stare into the sky, at the brightly
colored stars, illuminating anything, and everything in sight. "Do
you ever... do you ever wonder how things might change?"
"Yeah... I do." "Do you ever wish that things were
different?" My voice begins to grow louder... Not by much,
though. He looks at me, as if he were to answer... but he
doesn't.
When it feels like my dreams are
so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
I blink back tears, and
shut my eyes, as if I could control time. As if I could stop time,
and change it. I regret not ever saying anything... I regret trying
to keep him from finding out... Finding out how much I really love
him. I open my eyes, and notice that everything's the same as it was
last. A quick breeze brushes by, and I huddle closer to him,
breathing in his scent. How I would miss it, much... How I would miss
him, much...
Everything about him; he was unlike anyone I knew.
So
I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
I swallow hardly... but my
throat continues to throb, and my heart rate begins to grow faster,
and louder. If I didn't tell him now, would that effect how things
actually do turn out
between us? If so, would that be good?... Or bad? "What do you
mean 'Different'?" He interrupts my thoughts, in a way, trying
to find an answer to my earlier question. "Between us..." I
whispered, as my heart rate increases majorly, if even possible.
To
be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only
hope
He takes a deep breath... Searching
for an answer. He looks back down at me, "You're my best friend,
Keel... What more could I ask for?" He smiles, but soon it
fades, as he sees my face drop. "That's not exactly what I
meant..." My voice begins to crack. Am I taking this too
seriously? "Then what exactly do you--" "All of these
years that we've known each other, I've said nothing... But now that
things are beginning to change... And we'll be going off to college,
soon... I think it's time for me to speak up." He raises his
eyebrows, slightly, wondering exactly what I'm trying to say, yet at
the same, knowing exactly
what I'm trying to say.
I give You my
destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I turn my face and stare
out into the sky, as a shooting star whisks through the night. I turn
my attention back to where it was before and look at him. I stare
deeply into his chocolate-brown eyes... He opens his mouth, once
again, to say something... but then stops, as he stares back into my
hazel-blue eyes. Maybe now time was right. I heave in a deep breath,
and smile half-heartedly. He smiles back, not breaking any contact.
Slowly, our faces grow closer, and closer.
I
want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my
lungs I'm giving it back
It takes me a while to
realize what's happening, but then it hits me, as our lips finally
touch in a slow, first kiss. I catch my breath, trying to contain my
happiness, in this serious moment of ours. Unfortunately, there's no
hoping that this moment will last forever, for breath was starting to
become issue. As we pull apart, I purse my lips, and try to hold back
my smile. He chuckles, huskily, looking down at our, now, joined
hands. He turns his attention back to me, as I quickly peck his lips
one last time, and smile. So I lay my
head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
Maybe things would
be different. Maybe it's for
the best. Maybe there's a reason
for it. Maybe, just
maybe, 'different' isn't always such a bad thing; Phil and I for
instance.
I pray to be only yours
I
pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
As
I stare back out into the sky, I suddenly realize that everything is
different, now. I look back at him, knowing that this was the
beginning of a "new relationship." He heartedly smiles, and
I can't help but blush, and smile back, pulling him into a hug.
-----------------------------------------------------
Welp! There you have it! It was kind of short, and the ending was kind of cheesy... It'd be less cheesy if I could write more to it, but I had to end it there since I ran out of song. I personally think this is definitely one of my better stories, if not my best. I don't know. :)
Speaking of stories, I'm on a HUGE Writer's Block with my other story, so if anyone has any ideas, or suggestions, please, do tell :))
Thanks for reading (Well, I assume you read it, if you're reading this, right now)! Pretty pwease review! I love those :)))
Much love. XOXO
