(A/N: Last chapter threw you off? Well this one is kinda weird too, so remember my motto " WHO CARES ABOUT LOGIC!" LOL :D
Chapter thirteen: Sad news
Phil couldn't believe that she didn't remember him. He had expected this to happen, since she was old, but she didn't remember him at all. His mom was watching the news once again.
"...Thanks Rob, folks I'm sad to report that our once oldest living resident, Keely Teslow died yesterday from a heart attack. The cause of the heart attack is unknown, but people gather round to remember this special resident."
Phil spit out his cereal and it got all over his dad's face.
"Ohhh..sorry dad."
His dad wiped his face off and Phil didn't know how the day would get any worse, but it did.
Later that day Phil found out that after he left Keely had gotten into a massive wave of depression. A few times she had tried to choke and kill herself (A/N: See? That's why I changed the rating to "T" instead of "K+")
College wasn't any better for her, so she adopted a child hoping to relieve her stress.
Thankfully she wasn't an abusive mother, although she did have terrible ways of curing her problems. She would stay out late, and even though she wasn't abusive that didn't mean she was a wonderful mom also. She ignored her child and the only time she interacted with her was when she signed permission slips, and gave her lunch money.
In a fit of rage, Kim (Whom Keely adopted when she was two four weeks old) moved out of the house at 17. Complained that she hated living this way, and the fact that she never had any real parents to begin with. Turns out, she secretly wanted a father, but Keely refused to g out with any of the men her daughter her set her up with. She turned them all down, and only agreed to be friends with them but nothing more.
After Kim left, Keely found a new way to cure any kind of stress and was given a reward for her discovery. It was a tape that played soft music, and told you caring things. At first people thought it wouldn't work for people who are negative thinkers but guess what? It did! So thanks to her tape, that took out all her stress.
Keely was always seen at the store buying fish, bread, fruit and vegetables. She only drank water, and that was it. She didn't even drink any coffee if she was tired. Instead she'd splash water on her face and try and stay awake.
Phil couldn't believe it. Keely had thrown away her life just like that. She also never became a reporter, but she did have a job in the studio. That was holding up the microphone for the newscasters.
Phil walked up to hi dad, but before he could say anything his dad took something out f his pocket.
It was a photo of them they had taken yesterday when they returned .Phil wasn't smiling in the picture, neither was Pim, but his parents were so that made it an "okay" picture.
"What's this?"
"It's a photo from us coming back yesterday."
"Thanks dad." Phil took the photo with him and thought long and hard.
"No matter what it takes, I'm going back tomorrow."
Phil couldn't take it anymore. He was going to go back..tomorrow.
