Chapter 25

[L]
Lil and Kimi had slept in the day after winter formal. Elle had gone back to her house, she didn't feel up to staying at the DeVilles. Phil walked downstairs waking them up "Come on, get up." he said shaking Lil but letting Kimi stay asleep. "What do you want, Phillip?" she said covering her eyes "Tommy's here. He said he needs to talk to you." she sighed and got up. "Where is he?" he pointed towards the door and went back upstairs. Lil walked to the front door and went outside. "Hey, it's really early." he didn't look happy, he just nodded. "I know. This is just important. It couldn't wait." she looked him in the eyes and she could immediately tell something was wrong "Tommy? What's going on?" he took a deep breath "You know I love you, right?" she nodded slowly "It's just that there's a lot on my mind.. And I just think it's a good idea if we take a break..." his words slowed at the end. Lil looked at him, tears starting to fill her eyes. "I really don't want this to ruin our friendship... We were friends for years before and-" she didn't let him finish. The tears were streaming down her face and she ran inside slamming the door. Kimi woke up and looked over, Lil was leaning on the door covering her face. "Lil? Are you okay?" Lil looked at her and ran up the stairs slamming and locking her door. She leaned up against it, sliding down crying.

[P]
Phil walked out of his room and looked towards Lil's. He walked downstairs "what's with all the slamming?" Kimi shrugged, still looking confused. "She slammed the front door when she came back in and she was crying and then she ran upstairs." Phil looked outside to see if Tommy was still there and then went upstairs not saying anything to Kimi. He knocked on her door "Lil?" she didn't say anything, but he could hear her crying. "Lillian open the door. What's wrong?" he was scared for had happened but he had an idea. "Lillian" she finally opened the door. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she was sniffling "What happened?" Kimi had come up the stairs and was standing behind him. She had never seen Lil so upset over anything. She shook her head wiping her eyes "Nothing" he pushed her door open the rest of the way "Tell me" she looked up at him and hugged him "he...broke...up...with me" she said in between sobs. Phil pushed her away "Why?" she shrugged and went to her bed "I don't know!" Kimi pushed Phil out of the way and ran over to her "Are you okay? Are you gonna be okay?" Lil was crying harder and Phil clenched his fist. He didn't like seeing her hurt. He turned around and walked out.

He walked out the house and over to Tommy's. He walked in like usual and up to his room opening the door, not bothering to knock. Tommy was sitting on his computer and turned to see a mad Phil, he knew Lil told him. "Why did you do it?" he yelled "How could you do that to her after everything you two have been through?" he had moved closer and Tommy stood up "I loved her, Phil. You know that! It just... It had to be done" Phil shook his head "You two were fine just last night! What happened in between now and then?"

"Nothing. I've been feeling like this for a while, okay?" Phil pushed Tommy up against the wall "Why?! What did she do to you?"

[K]
Kimi was sitting with Lil trying to make her feel better but she wouldn't stop crying. "Where did Phil go?" Kimi looked away and mumbled something "What?"

"He went to Tommy's" Lil shook her head "He's going to hurt him" Lil got out of her bed and ran out of her room, Kimi following. "Lil, wait!" she wasn't stopping she was at Tommy's and Kimi followed her in the house. They stood in the living room until they heard yelling and ran upstairs to Tommy's room. Kimi ran over to them and grabbed Phil's arm before he could hit him "Phil, stop it!" she yelled trying to pull him away. Lil stood in the doorway, watching. She had heard what Tommy said as they came in. Kimi looked at her and and Phil pulled his arm away, letting his fist meet with Tommy's jaw. Kimi walked over to Lil "Are you okay?" she whispered and Lil shook her head turning and walking away and she followed. In the hall, Lil fell on her knees covering her face and crying.
"Lil, it's okay. He's stupid for losing his feelings. You're amazing" Lil shook her head "What did I do wrong?" Kimi shook her head and rubbed Lil's back "You didn't do anything wrong." Phil walked out and locked at Lil. He could feel her pain. Kimi looked at him and then Lil "Come on, let's get you home." Lil nodded slowly and Kimi helped her up.

When they got home Lil walked right up to her room. Kimi and Phil walked to the kitchen. "Will she be okay? I've never seen her this upset before" Phil shrugged and sat down "I don't know.. But I hope so." he sighed.

Tommy stood up and held his jaw. He walked downstairs and got some ice, luckily his parents weren't home. He was on his way back upstairs when Dil walked out "Why do you have ice on your face, T?" Tommy moved the ice and Dil could see Tommy's jaw a beat red. It was going to leave a bruise. "Woah, what happened?" Tommy sighed "Phil happened. I broke up with Lil.." Tommy thought back to when she ran in his room, he could see her heart break even more when she heard him. He shook his head "Why?"

"I just didn't feel the same. I wasn't going to stay with her and lead her on. She told Phil, and he did this." Tommy finished walking up the stairs and went to his room. Him and Lil had been through a lot and seeing the look on her face broke his heart. He did love her, but not as much. He knew there had to be a reason why but he couldn't put his finger on it. He set the ice on his bedside table and figured some sleep would help clear his head. He hoped his jaw wasn't broken. He also needed to think of a way to keep Lil in his life, he didn't want her out of it.

[L]
Lil had stayed in bed all day, not moving, not getting up. When Betty got home Phil told her what happened and she tried talking to her, but nothing. Lil was still trying to figure out where she went wrong. She curled up in a ball on her side. Phil came in "Are you feeling any better?" Lil made a noise and shook her head "It hurts, Phil." he nodded and walked over to her bed "I know. You're a strong girl, you can get through this." She sighed and curled up in a tighter ball. She had started crying again and Phil didn't know what to say to make her feel better. "he'll come around, Lillian. Don't worry." Lil looked at him "What do I do if he ever wants to get back together?" Phil thought about it before saying "Listen to your heart on that one." she gave him a weak smile "Oh, and don't let it show its getting to you. Act happy around him" he smiled at her and got up "Get some sleep" she nodded and turned over.
