The Things We Do For Love

Keely sighed heavily, she couldn't believe what was going on… she hadn't felt good in a few days, but her mother had no idea.

Meanwhile: Barb Diffy watched as Phil and Keely watched TV together… she had a nagging feeling something was wrong with Keely Teslow that she didn't want Phil… or anyone else for that matter, to know. She seemed off, a little weaker than she ought to be.

Phil, too, noticed that there was a problem with Keely.

"Keely, are you sure you're okay?" Phil asked

"Yes Phil, I'm fine" Keely insisted, but her insistence was like waving a giant red flag in the faces of Barb and Phil, who were certain she was trying to dismiss their concerns with lies.

"Keely, I'm not so sure that you're as fine as you seem to want us to believe… we may be from the future but we aren't completely clueless" Barb said

"I never tried to say you were, Mrs. Diffy" Keely said

"Keely…" Barb said and walked over to her son's friend and looked into her eyes… she noticed instantly that Keely seemed weak and her other symptoms added on to that made Barb truly concerned.

"Will you get your mom on the phone?" Barb asked

"Okay Mrs. Diffy" Keely said jadedly and walked over to the phone and dialed her home phone number.

Her mother picked up on the second ring

"Mom, it's Keely… there is someone hear who needs to speak with you…"

"Is it Phil?" Mrs. Teslow asked

"No, mom, it's his mother, Barb Diffy"

"Okay, Keely, put her on" Mrs. Teslow said

Barb and Keely's mom spoke for several minutes about Keely's obviously abnormal condition.

Keely arrived at home that evening and her mother told her that she had a doctor's appointment scheduled for after school the next day to be checked to find out about what was wrong with her.

"Mom… I'm scared" Keely said weakly.

"I know, sweetheart, I know" her mom replied warmly

Phil looked at his mom.

"Mom, do you think that was the right thing to do?"

"Yes, Phil, she needs medical treatment as soon as possible"

"I guess you're right, she has been a bit off" Phil said

"She wasn't, you didn't notice how tired she's been the last couple of days… and she's always thirsty, something isn't right"

"Yeah, you're right" Phil replied "she didn't seem right"

The next day Phil met Keely at her locker and he could tell that she was weak.

"Keely…" Phil started but stopped as he saw that she looked genuinely upset and scared and his heart broke… she wasn't well. All Phil could do was hug her near and say a silent prayer that she was going to be okay.

Kimberly Hart watched this in concern… she wasn't sure about Phil Diffy, she didn't have him in her class, but, from what she had heard, she had judged him to be similar to her high school boyfriend, Tommy Oliver, the type to look out for others… especially those they care about. She did have Keely in her creative writing class and saw a lot of herself reflected in Keely Teslow, but she also saw how sick Keely was.

Keely pushed away from Phil

"Phil, I have an appointment to see my doctor this afternoon… but I'm scared of what he might find" Keely said "with my family history this could be bad!" she was near tears and Phil understood that she was terrified of what might come up.

"Keely, don't worry, you aren't alone." Phil said gently "Listen… why don't we ask your mom if I can't come along to give you some support through this… I know my mom wouldn't care."

"That would be great Phil" Keely replied as he hugged her near again.

Kim overheard this and her mind told her that would have been exactly what Tommy would have done for her, and she made a mental not to call Jason to see if he had Tommy's phone number, it had been too long since they had been in touch.

A bell rang and Keely and Phil started towards their classes… Keely went to Kim's class room and Phil went towards his class.

"Keely, are you okay?" Kim asked

"Yes, Ms. Hart, I'm fine" Keely dismissed.

"Keely, you do know that if you need to talk I'm willing to listen" Kim said gently

"Thanks Ms. Hart" Keely smiled trying to hide the fact that she had been crying.

Phil walked into his class and noticed that there was a different teacher in the room today… he stepped back to make sure he hadn't gone into the wrong room this was normally Mr. Perkins's room, but he knew that wasn't Mr. Perkins.

"If you're in Mr. Perkins class this period you're in the right place" the stranger said

"Okay" Phil said and took his seat

"Name please?"

"Phil Diffy"

"Phil… okay" he looked at the roster then put a check mark by Phil's name

After class started the stranger walked to the front of the room.

"I know you're wondering where Mr. Perkins is, I am sad to inform you that he won't be back for the rest of the year… he did resign due to health reasons, I am Dr. Oliver, and no I am not a medical doctor… I am a paleontologist and I will be your new teacher for the rest of the year…" Tommy said "He didn't leave a lesson plan, but I was told to come up with my own, as I have done already… it is mostly about dinosaurs… so you have been given permission to switch out of this class if you want to, but I hope that you will give me, and this class, a chance"

Phil wasn't sure what to think about this, but he was going to give the class a chance.

Tommy started to get to know the students he was going to work with… the next time he saw them he would actual start to teach them.

At the end of the class period the students started to leave, but Tommy stopped Phil.

"Phil, I couldn't help notice you seemed distracted, is anything wrong?"

"My best friend isn't feeling well, I'm a little concerned about her, she had a slight breakdown at the lockers this morning"

"If there is anything I can do, just let me know"

"I will, Dr. Oliver, thanks"

"No problem, Phil" Tommy had a feeling that Phil wasn't being completely honest with him, but that was to be expected, they didn't know each other very well

Tommy sighed as Phil left, he hoped that things weren't too bad, but he had no idea the truth no one did.

Later that day Keely went into Dr. Oliver's class and sighed, it was the last class of the day and one of two that she didn't have with Phil. She sighed as she only half listened to the new teacher, and Tommy noticed this, but didn't say anything as he didn't want to seem nosey. She raised her hand

"Yes Ms. Teslow?"

"May I go get a drink of water?" she asked

"Sure… I'll get you a pass" Tommy replied, he didn't know what was wrong with Keely but something felt a bit off.

Keely got her drink and quietly went back to her seat. The class ended and Keely met with Phil so he could know whether her mother said yes or no… of course her mom did say yes that he could join them and Phil called his mom to ask… just in case.

They were in the waiting room for what seemed like hours before they were called back… Mrs. Teslow told the nurse that she was perfectly fine with Phil knowing what was wrong with her daughter… he was there to give Keely moral support through whatever was going on.

Tests were ran, blood was drawn and when the results came back the next day Dr. Wilson could come up with only one conclusion and that was what Keely, her mom and Phil didn't want to hear… she was in kidney failure.
