Chapter 8

Tommy sat on the couch of Phil's apartment watching TV as Phil came in. "Hey Tommy." he said. Tommy was silent. "Tommy?" Phil asked. Tommy again said nothing. "Hey T, I know you're upset and all but, I mean, at least live a little." Phil said.

"Phil, I'm ready to die right now." Tommy snapped and walked out the door. He closed the door and bumped into a familiar face, Laura. "Laura?"

"Thomas, I heard you and Lil broke up so I was wondering if you and I...could get back togather?" she asked.

"I'd rather pound my head with a concrete block." Tommy said.

"Oh please! I promise I won't go with anyone else this time." Laura said.

"Well, after a pound my head, I'll put a hornet nest over it." Tommy said and started walking down the stairs. He walked down to Doug's Diner and sat down at the bar next to Dil. "Hey D." he said.

"Hey."

"Well, Lil's plane leaves in 45 minutes." Tommy looked at his watch. "I'll never see her again."

"Sure you will. I mean, surely you'll go to New York some time in your life and run into Lil." Dil said.

"Thats not helping one bit." Tommy said as Phil and Chuckie walked into the diner. "Hi guys."

"Hey T. Okay, listen. You have to get over her and live the rest of your life! Find someone else. Get back with Laura." Phil said. The last four words that Phil said made him extremely angry. Phil continued, "Lil said she had an unfair life, and maybe she was right. But you T, you have to get out there forget about her and get your job back." Tommy remembered telling her, "Your life is not unfair." It had made her so happy to hear that. Phil kept going, "So, Tommy, just say to yourself, you do not love Lil!" Tommy paused for a minute.

He then whispered, "I do love Lil. I can't let her go."

"What?" Phil asked.

Tommy turned and looked at Phil. "Ya know something, Phil. I always thought having you as a brother in law would be cool. Now I'm just not sure. You're enough of a pain as a friend, so imagine the hell I'd go through if we were related. So I don't think I want you as a brother-in-law." Tommy said. He then clenched a fist and punched Phil hard in the stomach. Phil fell to the ground and then sat up. Chuckie and Dil went to help him up and Tommy got in his face and said, "But, ya know what? I'm gonna have you as a brother-in-law, ya know why?" Phil shook his head. "Because I will marry Lil. So, um Phil. Um, bite me, then go to hell, asshole." Tommy smiled. Everyone was staring. "I love her! I can't let her leave!" Tommy shouted and ran out of the diner. Phil just glared at him leaving but then smiled.

"Go get her." he whispered.

.....

Tommy ran as fast as he could to get to the airport before she left. But he'd never make it on foot. Tommy heard a car horn. He turned around as Dil pulled up in his truck. "Need a ride?" he asked. Tommy smiled and hopped in. They drove quickly down the road.

"Stop Dil!" Tommy yelled. Dil was confused but stopped anyway. Tommy hopped out and ran into the store they stopped at. A few minutes later he came back and showed the ring he had just bought. It was beautiful. "Lets go!" Tommy said. Dil started riving again but they were soon pulled over by the police.

"Do you know how fast you were going?" the officer asked. Dil shook his head. "90 mph." the officer said writing a ticket. "License and registration."

"Ugh! We'll never get there in time now!" Tommy yelled.

"Where?" the officer asked.

"I have to get to the airport in 20 minutes so I can ask the most important person in my life to marry me." Tommy answered.

"Huh? Oh! Don't let me stop ya! Go! Go!"the officer cheered. Dil put the petal to the metal as the truck zoomed down the street. Finally they were at the airport. Tommy hopped out and ran through the crowds. He then saw Lil. She was two people from the ticket lady. Tommy ran closer to her. Then she was one person away. She was about to give her ticket when Tommy finally got up to her.

"Lil!" he yelled. She turned around and saw Tommy. "Lil! I beg you! Forgive me. I don't love Laura! I love you!" he said. All the people around them went, "Awwww."

"I don't know Tommy." she said.

"Lil. I'd never do anything to hurt you. I love you more than a person could love person." he said. Again, all the people went, "Awwwww." Tommy got down on one knee and asked, "Lillian Marie Jill DeVille, would you marry me?" Everyone was silent now waiting for an answer. Lil stared deep into Tommy's eyes. At this time Dil came. He saw Tommy on one knee and wondered, will she say no, or yes.

"Yes." she said. Everyone cheered for Tommy and Lil. Tommy wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a deep kiss.

....

Tommy and Lil ran out of the church, with the bells ringing. Everyone cheering. Lil threw the bouquet up into the air. It fell and Kimi caught it. Phil grinned and scooted next to her and put his arm around her. She giggled and kissed him on the cheek.

Tommy and Lil jumped into the limozene and it drove off with the words just married on the back. "So, where to go on our honeymoon?" Lil asked, "The Bahamas?"

"NO!" Tommy quickly answered since that was where he and Laura went. "Um, how about Hawaii?" Lil giggled and kissed him again.

Thats it . Its over! I will be sure to make a sequal that will focus on Phil and Kimi. But I have another idea in mind right now.
