WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPEND TO PHINEAS?!
Exclaimed an irritated Isabelle. It had been 3 days since the "incident"...3 days since Phineas locked himself in his house and refused to come out...And no one would be straight with her about what happened!
Her mother watched her with sad eyes..."My dear...it's a complicated situation- "Then make it uncomplicated!" Shouted Isabella.
"Phineas is my friend and he's hurting! Now tell me what happened!"
Her mother gave a small sad sigh..."Very well...Phineas was on his way home...he took a shortcut down a dark alley...and a man followed after him...
One innocence shattering conversation latter...
This was the fifth time Isabella has thrown up into a trashcan the past hour.
Then she got to her feet, steeled her resolve, and marched out the door.
"My dear, where are you going?" Asked her concerned mother. "I'm going to help my friend"...

We were made to be courageous
We were made to lead the way
We could be the generation
That finally breaks the chains
We were made to be courageous
We were made to be courageous
We were warriors on the front lines
Standing, unafraid
But now we're watchers on the sidelines
While our families slip away
Where are you, Women of courage?
You were made for so much more
Let the pounding of our hearts cry
We will serve the Lord
We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
This is our resolution
Our answer to the call
We will love our Husbands and children
We refuse to let them fall
We will reignite the passion
That we buried deep inside
May the watchers become warriors
Let the Women of God arise
We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous

Phineas was there when Isabella entered her room. The same place he'd been sitting for the last couple days.
Not moving, not talking, not eating, not doing anything...Isabella steeled herself once more as she begin to speak...
"Phineas...I found out what happened to you...And to be honest I don't know what I can do for you...I wish there was some word...or something that I can do to make it all better...but there isn't...I'm sorry...but I do know this whatever happens, whatever it takes. Know that I'll be right by your side no matter what."
And with that she reached over and hugged him...and then Phineas did something he hadn't done in a while...he moved...and he cried...

Seek justice
Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
In the war of the mind
I will make my stand
In the battle of the heart
And the battle of the hand
In the war of the mind
I will make my stand
In the battle of the heart
And the battle of the hand
We were made to be courageous
And we're taking back the fight
We were made to be courageous
And it starts with us tonight
The only way we'll ever stand
Is on our knees with lifted hands
Make us courageous
Lord, make us courageous
…...
"Thank you", whispered Phineas...
…...
We were made to be courageous
Lord, make us courageous

TO BE CONTINUED?
