"Phil? I heard what happened, you okay?" Angelica asked, standing in the doorway. She was on work experience in the Children's ward. Phil smiled at her.
"Yeah, thanks," Phil said. When Angelica left there was an awkward pause. Lil didn't know what to say. Phil began talking again.
"You know what happened, don't you," Phil said, "You were there when Chuckie got his card, so was I. But seeing his...and your expressions made me run away, hide myself. I was such an idiot. Well Chuckie didn't fall for it did he. He knew Nicole didn't like him that much. I saw him and Nicole meet in the middle of the corridor. Both held the cards in their hands and laugh. I felt stupid. Tommy went up to them and asked what was up. Seeing the cards in their hands he said it must be fait. Stupid Idiot. But Chuck and Nicole laughed it all of, saying they were just friends now and that Nicole liked seeing Lil and Chuckie out together. Deep down, Lil, I did too."
Lil smiled at her brother. Since she started going out with Chuckie her twin relationship with Phil hadn't been as close. She hoped that this accident would bring them closer together. And now she knew that Phil approved of Chuckie she felt even better.
"Of course Tommy was bummed that his plan didn't work. He knew it wouldn't work though. Tuesday, when he came over, he started crying. Saying that the world was cruel. Nothing was right for him. That he was cursed with horrible emotions."
"I thought he meant his feelings for Chuckie. I told him 'You should tell him,' Tommy looked at me shocked. I guess he felt he couldn't tell him the truth because it would ruin their friendship, I thought it would make it stronger."
Phil sighed. "After a little while at our house Tommy randomly agreed that he would tell Chuckie the truth. He must have been thinking about it all evening, because he was concentrating on anything else I had said. And this decision came whilst I was talking about our Science project...though now, I guess I wished I didn't give him that idea. Who knew it would lead us here...."
