Phil was sitting on his bed in his room one mourning trying to get dressed. To bad he had just woke up. The only thing he had accomplished was taking his shirt he slept in off. He was mumbling to himself still half asleep.
"Ok, any minute now. I'm going to finish. I will get up and finish dressing now. Any minute now. Ok ready, set, go! (still sitting). I will now begin to stand up. NOW! (…still sitting)."
"Phil what are you doing?" his mom, barb, called from the outside of his door.
"fooling myself…" Phil said with half open eyes.
His mom then came into his room. "Well hurry up. Keely is already downstairs waiting on you. And you know its not nice to keep a women waiting like that."
"I will keep that in mind. So if its not nice to keep her waiting could you please leave so I can get dressed.
"Oh please Hun, you have nothing to hide that I haven't seen before. Besides there is something I want to talk to you about. (she then closed the door and sat down on Phil's bed and brought her voice to a whisper.)
"What is it mom? Is everything ok. (then his eyes got huge) don't tell me that dad fixed the time machine. I don't want to leave. I love it here!"
"Phil, calm down! Its nothing like that. I just want to ask you how are things with Keely.
"…Oh. Things are good. Why do you ask? He said giving her a look'
"Well its just that you and her have been friends ever since we came to this century, and now you both are seniors in high school and you 2 are completely ignoring your feelings toward each other.
"Mom what…?"
"Phil I know that you love keely and don't you say otherwise. Look if your worried about us going home and then breaking her heart then you don't have to worry about that. Your father spends so much time using those virtual goggles, yes Phil I know (seeing the look on his face) that I don't think he wants to go back home. And to tell you the truth I am just fine with that.
"Mom you just don't understand." Phil said looking down
"I think I do. Your worried that she does not feel the same way and by telling her your true feelings you will destroy your 3 year friendship with her and there by separating you 2 apart.
"How did you know that?"
"I'm a mother. It just comes naturally I guess.
"Well now that you know my problem, can you help me find a solution? Mom I just don't know what to do. I love her but I don't think she loves me.
"That Phil, is something you have to deal with on your own. I could tell you but I don't want to get in the way of destiny. If something is supposed to happen between you and Keely I don't want to interfere." She then got up and walked to his door.
"Wait, first you tell me to admit my love but then you say you won't help me. what kind of mom are you.
"The kind of mother who you will thank later for not interfering in your relationship with Keely." She then walked out the door but came back for a second. "But think about this. You said you were afraid that telling her might ruin your friendship, correct"
"Yeah…"
"Did you ever stop to think that she might fell the same way?" with that, she closed his door leaving Phil to his thoughts. 10 minutes later he was Silently getting dressed as he was still pondering what his mom had told him. Then he heard a knock on his door. "Come in."
"Hey Phil just want to see what was taking you so long." His blond best friend said coming in his room and sitting on his bed.
"Hey Keel, sorry. I will be down in a minute I just had a talk with my mom.
"Oh, what about?
"I'll tell you when your older." He teased. "Be right back I have make some last minute adjustments.
When he left the room, Keely stared into her lap. Then silently whispered "That's ok, I already know. And I wish you knew I feel the same way."
"What was that?" Phil said coming back in the room.
"I'll tell you when your older" she said smiling
"Your getting me back for that thing said to you aren't you"
"yep."
"Well, lets go." He said grabbing his backpack walking out his room
Before she walked out the door she whispered to herself again. "Its like your mom said, nobody can make us happen except for us." She then closed his door.
So tell me what you think. Reveiw please.
