Chapter thirteen
Ferb didn't go to bed until late at night. He had sat in the living room, trying to read his book, but was failing again. He had read the same sentence over and over again, because he was too busy thinking about what he could possibly say to Phineas. He had never thought talking to his brother would be so difficult, since Phineas was usually the only one he ever really talked to.
Phineas was already under his covers. The room was completely dark, like it usually was at night. Ferb was half tempted to turn on the light to wake up his brother, but he decided not to, because he didn't want his brother to be too grumpy. He wanted to apologize after all, not start another fight.
Ferb tried getting ready for bed in the darkness, wishing he had pulled on his pajamas before Phineas had gone to bed. After a few minutes of stumbling around, he was crawling into his bed, completely ready to sleep.
"Phineas." Ferb quietly called out into the darkness.
There was no reply. Not even the slightest movement came from the other side of the bedroom.
"Listen Phineas, I know you're mad at me, and you probably hate me, but I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude! But I just wanted a chance to hang out with you. Can you please forgive me?" Ferb pleaded, watching his brother's unmoving figure.
His pleas were only answered by silence. Phineas still didn't move. It was starting to worry Ferb, especially because he knew Phineas was an extremely light sleeper. He hopped back out of the bed, trying to be as quiet as possible. He tiptoed over to where Phineas laid on his bed, and shook him. The thing he shook was too soft though. It wasn't his brother. He gasped and ran over to the light switch, hoping he had just grabbed a pillow Phineas was holding or something like that. Phineas wasn't there. All that was there were pillows, and a piece of paper. Ferb walked over and picked up the note, tears gleaming in his eyes.
Sorry Ferb. I'm just doing what you told me to do. If I can't be the perfect brother here, I'll at least make you happy by disappearing from your life. Don't worry about telling mom and dad, I left them a note also. I'm sorry I wasn't a better brother.
Phineas
Authors note: Sorry this chapters so short, but I thought this would be the perfect place to end. I'll try having another chapter up later, but I also wanted to work on Remember, or She's Mine! So for now, I will torture you all with this cliffhanger :D!
Don't forget to comment XD! You don't have to, of course, but it would be nice to hear what my readers think :)
