Secret Crush or Forbidden Love?
Chapter 4
Phineas woke up gasping with tears running down his face, he had a terrible nightmare while he was asleep and that reminded him more of his stepbrother crush. Ferb was always a light sleeper so when Phineas had nightmares he'd wake him up and calm him down, he stayed awake with Phineas until he fell asleep again. When he started liking Ferb he had a horrifying nightmare, Ferb was there the whole night comforting him. Phineas sighed as he got out of bed, feeling totally drained even though he just woke up.
He stood there in front of the mirror, just staring at his reflection. Phineas just couldn't stand this feeling, a feeling in his stomach saying that he shouldn't even try to tell Ferb. He wouldn't be able to handle the rejection and loss of his stepbrother, so why even tell him. Phineas wanted to get rid of the pain he was feeling so badly, so badly that he'd do anything. That's when Phineas saw his dad's razor…
'Things can't get any worse could they?' Phineas thought as he grabbed the razor, he put it to his arm and winced as he felt the razor cut open his sensitive skin. The strange thing is that he felt less and less pain the more cuts he made, he felt a little woozy but he didn't stop. Phineas sank down to the floor as he watched his blood pour from his arm, he began to slip into unconsciousness when the door opened. "Phineas! Could you stop hogging the- OH MY GOD!" Candace screamed when she saw he little brother on the floor with blood still seeping out of his arm. "Candace what are you screaming about!" Mom asked as she stood next to her, not noticing Phineas yet. "M-M-M…." Candace choked so she just pointed to Phineas. "Phineas!" Mom shouted as she ran to her son, Phineas was still conscious so he whispered one thing before drifting to sleep. "Atleast the pain is fading…He wouldn't want me to be in pain…" Phineas whispered, then he slipped into slumber. "Candace! Call an ambulance then call your father! They need to get back no matter what!" Mom said, Candace ran for the phone. "It's okay honey…You're going to be okay…" Mom whispered to her unconscious son.
Ferb woke to the sound of his dad talking to someone, when he heard his mother's name he fully awoke. "What?! Why would he do such a thing! Okay we'll be home real soon, don't worry I'll tell him right now. Okay, we'll see you later…" Dad said as he hung up the phone. He saw Ferb's face and frowned. "We're going to have to go back home, something happened to Phineas…" Dad explained, Ferb's eyes were wide. "What! What happened?" Ferb asked. Dad looked down as he spoke. "Candace…Found Phineas with cuts covering his arm and unconscious…They're all at the hospital right now…" Dad explained, Ferb was on the verge of tears. 'Why would Phineas do that? He wouldn't cut himself!' Ferb questioned.'He might if it helped stop the pain…Ferb think, he probably thought you'd hate him for life if he told you so he thought why not get it over with now!' 'But I wouldn't hate him! I love him!' Ferb thought 'He doesn't know that…' Ferb sat there until his dad interrupted his thoughts.
"Luckily we aren't too far from home, we'll get off at the next airport and then get a ride home…" Dad said as he sat down, Ferb just nodded. "Attention passengers! We're arriving at our next stop so please prepare for landing!" The pilot announced, then in less then 5 minutes Ferb and his dad were getting off the plane and were on their way home…
Phineas had woken up after Mom had hung up with Dad, he had no idea that Ferb was coming home either. "Phineas…Honey, please just tell us why you did this…" Mom asked as she motioned to the bandages on Phineas's arms. "It's nothing important…I won't do it again so can we please just go home…" Phineas pleaded, Mom frowned. "If we do go home you won't be left alone for a long time till we know for sure that you're okay…" Mom said, Phineas nodded. "Yeah, but I just want to go home…" He said, Mom nodded and they left the hospital.
Ferb still couldn't believe Phineas would do something like this, when the pulled up at the house Ferb immediately got out of the car and went to in the house. "Ferb, you're already home? I'll go help your dad…" Mom paused by the door. "Oh, and Phineas is in the backyard…" She added, Ferb nodded and went just there.
Phineas sat under the tree staring at his bandages. 'Ferb is going to SO freak when he finds out about this…Then I'll have no choice but to tell him…' Phineas thought, he sighed sadly as a few tears came to his eyes. His love for Ferb was the whole cause of this, if he could just be normal and not love his brother then his family wouldn't have to deal with this. Right when Phineas was about to start crying he heard someone come out into the backyard. 'Probably Mom going to try and get me to tell her what caused me to do this…' Phineas thought as he glared at the bandages.
'Phineas…' Ferb thought as he stared at his brother, he couldn't take his eyes away from the bandages for more then 2 seconds. "Phineas…" Ferb said quietly, Phineas's head shot up and stared at him. "F-Ferb? What're you doing h-here?" Phineas asked, Ferb made his way over till he was right in front of him. "Mom called to tell us and we came straight home…W-Why did you do this?" Ferb asked as he sank to his knees and touched Phineas's bandages. "I-I…uh…I" Phineas stuttered, he looked away from his brother. "I can't tell you…" Phineas said, Ferb weakly glared at him. "Why not, what's so bad that you had to do this!" Ferb asked, he felt like just taking Phineas into his arms but he didn't want to freak his brother out. "I…I just couldn't handle the fear and pain…" Phineas said. "Pain and fear of what?" Ferb asked, he could tell by his own voice that he'd start crying soon. Phineas stayed quiet, Ferb turned Phineas's head towards him. "Answer me Phineas…" Ferb said, Phineas just couldn't hold it in anymore. "The fear and pain of losing you! I wouldn't be able to bare it if you left! And it's all because I'm in love with you!" Phineas confessed, he closed his eyes and waited for the hateful remark.
Ferb sat there, he couldn't believe it. 'So he does love me too…' Ferb thought. 'See? Now go help him, make him see the truth…'
"Phineas…Look at me, please…" Ferb asked, Phineas slowly opened his eyes. "A-Aren't you going to do anything?" Phineas asked, Ferb kept himself from smiling. "Yeah…And here's my answer…"Ferb said quietly, he then leaned in and kissed Phineas tenderly. Phineas was surprised but he kissed Ferb with overflowing passion, they stayed like that till they couldn't breathe. Phineas was crying with a smile on his face. "I love you too…" Ferb soothed him, he held him gently as Phineas stopped crying. Phineas then leaned up and kissed his stepbrother again, this time they flew to the ground with Phineas laying underneath Ferb.
While the two were still locked in their passionate kiss, they were being watched. Mom, Dad, Candace and Isabella were all witnessing the romance from different areas. Even though they were being watched, Phineas and Ferb were in their own magical world. When they parted from the kiss they still sat there, Phineas resting safely in Ferb's arms.
The secret crushes finally becoming a beautiful un-forbidden love…
The End!
