Annnd... we're off hold. Hi. So, how ya doin'? :) Yes, I'm horrible. Yes, I know that I probably won't even be doing regular updates. But take what you have and be grateful, damn it!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, except the OCs if I even add any. You know the drill ma peepps!
Phillip POV
Oh god. This is it. It's finally happening, I'm going to see her again. It's been what, a year? I'm sweating bullets right now.
The lockers open and we all go through the portal. A small flash of light appears and when it fades I see a blue and white room with a tree in the middle. I believe Jax told me it's the Dyad tree, which makes it very important.
The moment it all fades we notice the crowd of people around us. They're all excited, but clearly are holding back, just as Agamemnon told them to. Great. It'll be hard enough finding Andi through this crowd, I didn't need it to be harder.
I spot a stripe of purple hair in the crowd, and begin to push through. Everyone protests, despite my 'excuse me's. God, can't win for losing.
Eventually I make it to a small circle, where I find Andi facing away from me. A massive smile ends up on my face.
"Andi!"
She looks around, clearly hearing me. I call out to her again. "Andi!"
She turns to me this time, and when she does my heart just about stops. Andi looks at me like she isn't sure I'm here, and then like she just can't believe that I actually am.
"Phillip?" I make my way over to her, as fast as I can. Now it's just us, face to face. She freezes, and it's almost as if she's not glad I'm here.
"Phillip?! What on Earth are you doing here?"
"I miss you." I answer. She stammers her words in a confused way as she looks around the room.
"Phillip, I. You. What even." Andi just starts chuckling, and I do too. This is just like those cheesy scenes in the romantic movies we like to mock. But I don't even care. Because she's here, right here. And I love seeing her look so happy and confused at the same time. I love her, period.
"Hey, Andi!" A blonde guy shouts, heading for us. Who is he? And why is he talking to Andi?
I notice her eyes widening when she looms from him to me. When he gets to be us he flashes me a grin, throwing an arm over her shoulder. In that moment a feeling I can only describe as jealousy, due to what Jax has told me it feels like, lights inside me. Why is he touching my Andi?
"Luke?"
"Hey, babe. Who's this?" He nods to me. In that moment, everything crashes down around me, as that word repeats over and over.
"Babe. Babe. Babe."
I knew she was going to move on eventually. But, I didn't think she was going to do it now.
"Babe?" I can hear my own voice getting fragile, hurt written all over me. The most sorry expression I've ever seen makes its way onto Andi's face. She opens her mouth to say something, but I don't know what it is. I've already raced off to I don't know where. I just can't be there right now.
"Phillip! Wait!"
Emma POV
"Oh no." I whimper when Andi starts running for Phillip. I knew this was going to happen. I knew it.
I take a step in the direction of the staircase they both just headed for, but Jax grabs my wrist to stop me. "Em. Not now."
"But they just-" When I try to protest Jax shakes his head at me.
"Andi and Phillip are not going to die if they argue over Luke. However, he and Phillip will kill each other if we don't get Agamemnon to switch it so Phillip is rooming with me instead of Diego. I don't like them hurting any more than you do, but we need to prioritize right now."
I sigh at the realization that he has a point. If Luke and Phillip are anything like Daniel and Jax were, this will be a bloodbath. We have to keep them as far part as possible, so they don't make this even worse on themselves.
"Okay, you have a point. Come on, Aggie's office is this way."
Andi POV
Oh no. No no no no no. This is not good. Phillip just, and, no! He ran off before we could talk. I feel terrible. He shouldn't have had to find out about Luke like that. And after he just said he missed me...
We end up in a hall I've never been to before, which appears to be a dead end. Got him!
"Phillip! Phil, wait." He turns around, pain and emotional exhaustion on his face. The feeling of utter self hatred pours into me. I did that. I made him hurt.
"What do you want, Andi?" He shrugs. I bite my lip.
"I wanted to make sure that you're okay. You ran off really fast back there."
"Ha. Figures, now you can talk. After I'm hurt." He rolls his eyes, leaning on the wall. I sigh.
"Phillip, come on. Don't be like that. I'm sorry, okay. I was surprised. And I didn't want you to find out like that. That was shitty, I'm sorry." All I seem to be able to do is apologize.
I don't understand this. With Luke I'm always sassy, and like I always have been. But Phillip makes me feel... weaker. More girly and caring. Almost like, Emma.
Okay, I'm still nothing like Emma.
"Don't apologize. I get it; it's been a year. You moved on. I don't know what I expected, anyway. I'm just going to go grab my stuff." He sighs, trying to pass me. I stop thinking, and grab his arm. He looks at me, our faces less than inches apart.
"I don't want you to be mad at me." I mumble, biting my lip. He just gives me a spot smile.
"I could never be mad at you for being happy."
With that he leaves me there, in that hall, feeling horrible. It's warm in here, but I somehow gabe goosebumps.
This just made my life complicated, didn't it?
Oh god. I need Emma, don't I?
You're welcome.
