Authors Note: I know this chapter is short and I'm sorry for that. School has been loading up since the quarter just ended but Thanksgiving is coming up so hopefully I can squeeze in more chapters during the holidays.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Fifty Shades Trilogy.

"I heard you screaming and then everything went quite. I got a little worried." He looks at Teddy. I know he's trying not to offend him and thankfully Teddy isn't.

"Phoebe just had a little outburst. Nothing I can't handle. Did you hear anything?" Teddy still has his hand around me and I relax on his shoulder and sit down all the way.

"Nothing I can make out on. Are you okay Phoebe? You seem shakened up." He comes and sits with us. He didn't hear me say yes. I close my eyes is deep relief. My friendship with Skyler is too valuable to just throw away because I have feelings for him.

Then it really hits me. I have feelings for my best friend of 10 years. When did this happen? How did I not see it? Now I know why Dad made a huge deal about Skyler sleeping next to me. That's it. That's the number one reason he doesn't want Skyler to move in. Daddy is scared.

Teddy phones starts to ring from the living room and he excuses himself to get it. Skyler comes next to me and I crawl into his lap.

"How are you feeling?" He speaks into my hair.

"Better now that Teddy knows but worse because Mom and Dad brought me here so he could report to them." I stay where I am. This is where I love to be. With him.

"You have to understand that your parents are worried and that they will go through any type of extreme to keep you safe. But I'm pretty sure Teddy won't tell your parents if you ask him not to." This is when I realize that Skyler is all Teddy really has too. Looking back, Teddy may have been the popular guy but he never opened up to anyone which is why it was so easy for him to pack up his stuff and come to Harvard. He has no goodbyes to say beside family.

"Is Teddy like a brother to you?" I can see Skyler shocked from the question.

"Yes. I envy him in ways that I want to protect you. He's definitely accomplished a lot in his short time of being a teenager."

"Although I never told you, you are the little brother I always wished to have." We're interrupted by Teddy. "We've told each other a bunch of stuff and done a bunch of crap together too. I mean, I am two years older than you but I know you had my back when it came to being a bad boy." I'm confused. Teddy and Skyler were partners in crime?

"What are you guys talking about?" I look at the both of them smile.

"Your brother and I are pretty close. We just never exposed our friendship to you or your parents. We've done some stupid shit together." I can see Skylers grin grow. He was proud.

"Like what?" What could Teddy possibly do against Dad's orders. He's the good child.

"Fundraisers that I would attend. We would sneak around in the adult tent while you would be dancing with Ava. During sports, Skyler would always been the youngest one of the team and we would get away with stuff during practice and even after games actually. We've done a lot together." They fist punch while I stare in shock.

"What! You means you guys had like this little friendship affair? That's weird." Personally, I'm a little territorial that Teddy has a friendship with Skyler. He is my best friend. But, then again, I love that my brother and best friend get along in their ways.

"It's not weird. You're just jealous." Both boys are looking at me with a grin. It's a horrible sight to see.

"You guys disgust me now that I know about this love affair." I make a choke face. There is so much I can do with this. So much.

"Love affair?" Teddy holds his hands up as in defense. "That's a little much for me. I mean, I love you Skyler but I prefer boobs." Both boys burst out laughing.

"And I will cherish that moment that justification." I have never seen Skyler and Teddy like this. Their personality are so different when around each other then it is when they are apart. Even when with me, it's never like this.

"Teddy, don't you have friends here that you can go around with?" It scared me that Teddy would isolate himself from everyone when he's out here. He's a family man and we all know it but he needs friends to keep his mind sated and not to go insane.

"Not really, there's a couple of people that I do study groups with for midterms and drinks but no one that I want to lean on." Teddy shrugs and I don't know if this is what he wants. It's almost as if he wants to come back home and be around the people he actually knows.

"You haven't talk to her, have you?" Skyler asks quietly and Teddy shakes his head. Who are they talking about?

"Wait a second, who is this she? And why do you know and I don't!" Now I'm getting mad. Teddy has been keeping secrets from me. Not to mention that Skyler knows.

"It's no one to be concerned about." Teddy says quietly. He isn't looking at me and I know that's a sign of him lying. One of his weak spots is not looking at me when he's lying. I think my brother is forgetting how well I actually know him. This doubt sets me off. I walk around of the room hearing Teddy call behind me. I ignore him and shut the door behind me in the room I'm staying in.

Teddy, my brother, could possibly be with someone or has been and he's never once has mentioned it to me. How can he do that? We tell eachother everything. If he thinks for a second that me keeping my problems a secret is a decent defense for him keeping this so call girl from me, I will pack my bags and go back home.

I am beyond upset. Dad brings me here to get information out of me through Teddy. I find out I have feelings for my best friend. Teddy has some girl with him and Skyler knows oppose to me. Everything is going wrong. Nothing is going right with me anymore. It's almost as if I bring the bad luck to everyone. This isn't far. Not on me or on anyone around me.

I can feel my heart beating faster and my breathing becoming shallow. It's happening again. The temptation. The thought. I have been able to keep away from my temptation for a good two weeks but I can't fight this one off. It's too strong. I try to control my breathing by thinking of something good but my mind draws a blank. Tears start to rush down my face as I look around the room trying to find something to focus on. I don't want Teddy or Skyler to see me like this. I feel too exposed. I hear footsteps outside the door and I know it's too late for me to lock it so I run into the bathroom and lock the door behind me.

"Phoebe?" I'm glad it's Skyler versus my brother but even then I still don't want to see either of them. He knocks on the door softly. "Phoebe, please."

I close my eyes and imagine he's not there. My breathing has slowed down and I know the darkness is escaping. It's still hovering over me but I know I am calming down. After a couple of deep breaths, I get off the cold tile and opened the door to find Skyler sitting against the wall next to the door. He looks up and grabs my hand to pull me down to the floor.

"Are you okay?" He whispers. I nod softly but I don't get away with it. "Phoebe, your brother was scared and didn't want anyone to know. I saw him with Hazel on accident and in a way he was relieved but scared too. You have to understand where he's coming from Phoebe. He feels bad but like you, he didn't want to take chances." I know he's right. I realize that I'm mad over myself so not being able to see it with my brother.

"I know. I guess I thought he would tell me anything regardless." I softly whisper. I can barely recognize my own voice.

"And I can assure you he feels the same with you." Skyler smiles. The tension is gone the second I see his beautiful smile. The effect he has on me is crazy. Now that Teddy confronted me about this, I won't stop. Skyler is my person. My saviour. My life.

"I love you Skyler." I pull him into a hug and bury my face in his neck.

"I love you too Phoebe." He softly kisses my cheek and rests his head against mine gently. A small smile grows on my face.

So Skyler didn't hear Phoebe say yes! :)
I'm open to ideas for this story. I have a plan but getting there is alittle difficult so shot me a PM if you guys have ideas in mind for the story. Thank you again to everyone who reads each chapter and leaves a review. They always motivate me to keep going.
