-Barely Breathing-
chapter seven
Philip Kiriakis stood leaning against the side of his car,it was raining but he didn't care.
The only thing he did care about was who he was waiting for.
It was friday afternoon and school had just let out.
Pulling the hood of her jacket on,Chloe smiled as she spotted him in the parking lot.
After she jogged over,Chloe kissed Philip softly on the lips and ran her hands through his wet,tousled hair.
Philip opened the passengers side door
"Ride,beautiful?"
Chloe placed her hands on her hips,rolling her eyes
"Oh I don't know..I was kinda looking forward to walking home,who knows I might get pneunmonia!"
"Well suit yourself then" Philip joked,starting to close the door "I'll visit you in the hospital..that is if it doesn't interfere with basketball practice"
"Philip!" Chloe replied with a grin
"Yeah,yeah" Philip exclaimed laughing.
The ride home was awkward,even though they'd both been joking around.
They still hadn't talked about the one thing on both of their minds,his journal.
As Philip pulled up in front of the Wesleys,neither said a word.
After a few moments of sitting in an uncomfortable silence,Chloe decided to speak.
"So I guess I'll see you tomorrow Kiriakis"
Philip couldn't help but smile at her when she called him by his last name "Until then"
"What time should I come over?"
"Umm well I'll phone you tonight with the plans.." Philip replied
"There's still a few things I have to work out"
Chloe reached for the door handle,while leaning to kiss Philip on the cheek
"Great,I'll be in all night I have a ton of studying to do...I want to get it all done early"
Philip pulled Chloe close as she kissed his him,leaning his chin on her shoulder.
Chloe smiled,not wanting to leave the safe feeling of his arms.
With a slam the car door closed and Chloe walked around to the sidewalk.
Philip put his hand to the glass of the window and Chloe stopped.
Laying her hand on the other side of the cool glass,Chloe smiled.
As he slowly pulled his hand away,Chloe ran up the sidewalk and under the protection of the porch.
Light from inside peeked through the door as she slide inside her house.

Belle Black laid on the couch in the penthouse living room,reading out of the textbook on her lap.
She looked up from her work as she heard someone coming down the staircase.
Her brother Brady leaned to the side as he slowly made his way down,gripping the railing tightly.
Belle smiled,secretly proud of the progress her brother was making.
Brady raised his eyebrow,and gave his sister a knowing look
"Belle don't think I don't know what your thinking right now"
"Wow Brady thats quite a sentence" Belle replied with a laugh.
"You know what I mean,you've got that 'Gee my brothers doing so good' look"
"And whats wrong with that Brady?" Belle exclaimed happily
"I do think your doing good,great in fact"
"Yeah well-" Brady stopped himself short,remembering how upset his sister got when he started something
"Nevermind,you want a drink or something?"
"Sure,that'd be great Brady" Belle replied cheerfully
"Two soda's coming up" Brady exclaimed as he disappeared into the kitchen.
A few seconds later he reappeared with their drinks.
"Here you go"
"Thank you very much" Belle said as she took the soda.
"So whats up with my favorite sister?" Brady asked dropping back onto the couch.
Belle put her book to the side and took a drink
"Just doing some homework"
"Going to Phil's party tomorrow?" Brady asked cracking open his drink.
"Oooh yeah it's going be a blast!" Belle replied excitedly
"Parties at the his house are the best"
Brady laughed at his sisters excitement
"Anyone special going?"
"Brady!" Belle blushed
"Don't even say it,I know what your thinking"
"What?" Brady replied with a grin
"We both know who your so excited to see there"
Belle grabbed a magazine from the end table and shot a glare at her brother
"So how'd YOU know Philip was having a party anyway?"
Brady pretended to be hurt
"You don't think I'm cool enough to-"
Belle cut him off,feeling bad
"No Brady I didn't mean it that way"
Brady laughed playfully hitting his sister with a pillow off the couch
"I was invited actually,the only problem is I don't have a date,and I don't wanna go solo"
"What Brady Black doesn't want to go alone?!?"
Belles eyes widened,and she pretended to be shocked
"Tough,bad boy Brady?"
Brady grabbed the pillow again and laughed as he whacked her.
Belle laughed,putting her hands up
"Okay,okay"
Brady stopped and leaned back with a yawn
"Ah well there's a football game tomorrow I wanted to catch anyways"
"No way Brady" Belle replied sitting up
"I've got the perfect person for you"
She leaned over and pulled her backpack off the floor
"Lets see..its in here somewhere"
"Forget it Belle,I'm not going out with one of your teeny bopper friends"
"Brady shut up and listen for a second" Belle exclaimed quickly
"I'm not going to let you sit inside and brood all day"
"Okay mom" Brady groaned and rolled his eyes
"And besides" Belle replied ignoring him
"She's perfect for you!"
"Well who is this perfect person?" Brady asked eyeing his sister
"She's smart,and caring,and beautiful" Belle exclaimed cracking open her yearbook and pointing
"And she's right here!"
