Chapter 17: Interventions

When they arrived back at Phils house, Keely, Phil, and Riley (her father) went into the living room to talk. Riley politely asked Phil to let him and his daughter talk alone, and he reluctantly agreed.

After a while of patiently waiting by the door, he decided to go up to his room to start attempting constuction on the crib they had bought for their daughter. By the time he had finished, an hour had gone by. This didn't completely worry Phil, 'She hasn't seen her father in thirteen years. They probably have a lot of catching up to do,' he reassured himself. He headed downstairs and found the living room empty.

"Pim, where is Keely?" he asked his sister, as she walked by.

"Dunno, I just got back. Debbie dragged me to the retirement home. Boy, old people can wear you out."

"Thanks for the help..." he said under his breath. He searched the rest of his house and came up empty, 'Okay, now I'm worried'

"Phil, are you okay?" Barbara asked, coming inside from gardening.

"Keely's gone a.w.o.l. on him," Pim butted in from the couch, Phil glared at her.

"Oh, her father practcally dragged her back to her house. They started yelling a little in there," she explained, gesturing to the living room.

"Keely..." he grabbed the levitation gloves (sorry, couldn't remember the real name for them...) and rushed out of his house and down the street to where Keely used to live. Her room was on the second floor. He slipped the gloves on and pulled himself up to the roof, unfortunately her window was closed and locked and he couldn't get iin, but, she wasn't in there anyway.

Phil got down, quickly realizing that she might be on the computer, since her mother had moved it after Keely started living with the Diffy's.

He logged onto his screen name on AOL Instant Messenger.

PDiffy: Keely? Are you okay?

SuperKawaii51190: No

PDiffy: What's wrong?

SuperKawaii51190: My dad won't let me out of the house. After you left the room we talked for a while. Then I jumped cause she kicked again, and then he went off on probably the longest rant ever about how irresponsible I am, and that he never wants me to see you again. Then your mom came in, and then my dad pretty much dragged me back here and locked me in.

PDiffy: I was over there outside your window, but it was locked and I couldn't get in.

SuperKawaii51190: I'd let you in, but as we speak he's putting locks on the windows...actually more like bars.

PDiffy: Should I just try talking to your dad?

SuperKawaii51190: Not if you want to live...

PDiffy: ...--...

SuperKawaii51190: Okay, but it might not go well...

PDiffy: I'll be right over.

PDiffy has signed off.

Just as he said, moments later he was at her doorstep, waiting for someone to answer the door.

Riley opened the door and stared evily at Phil. "What do you want?" he asked, not letting Phil enter.

"Keely. I want Keely," Phil stated as he watched her slowly come down the steps.

"No. What you have done to my daughter is completely unacceptable. You arent' coming anywhere near her again," Riley remarked, attempting to shut the door, but Phil blocked it.

"I love Keely. Nothing you can do will ever change that. Nothing can take her away from me. Her and Raileigh mean everything to me. And I'm not going to risk losing either of them, so if you care anything about your daughter you won't keep her locked up. If she wants to stay with me she can. You choose your path which left her fatherless for most of her life, I won't stoop to your level." Phil spoke confidently, looking at Keely the whole time. When he finished, she pushed her father out of the way and hugged Phil.

"I love you so much," she said, and they started walking back t his house, leaving Riley, dumbfounded after Phil's speech.

"I love you, too, Keel," he replied, kissing her lightly. "Oh, and by the way, I finished building the crib."

"Great job, Phil. Oww...that hurt..." she said, and then clutched her stomach

"Keel, are you okay? What's wrong?" he asked, going into over-protective mode.

HAHAHA I'm Gonna stop here, just so I know for sure you'll all come back since I confused you so much last chapter.
