A/N: sorry to end like that but I had serious writer's block. Well I still have writers block but I wanted to update ok so here goes and I'm sorry that I'm taking so long. I hope that you like this chapter. PLEASE REVIEW! I feel like I have to beg to get them. So on the story.( oh and i just felt like mentioning that "Now You See It" is on right now as I'm finishing up this chapter)

There was no one that Keely could talk to. No one else knew Phil's secret so it would be hard to explain why she was so worried about going out with him. Then again… there was always Pim. Keely decided to call her for a reassuring (or at least comforting) voice. Pim didn't answer her cell phone when Keely called so she was forced to call their house. Of course Phil answered the phone. Keely tried to sound like a 16 year old so Phil wouldn't recognize her. But of course that wouldn't work.

Phil: Hello?

Keely: Um hi. Is Pim there?

Phil: Keely?

Keely: Huh? This is Veronica.

Phil: Oh. Wait, Pim doesn't have a friend named Veronica.

Keely: Well obviously she does. Will you just put her on the phone?

Phil: Keel, I know it's you. You don't have to talk with me but I just wish you tell me why you're upset.

Keely: Would you put Pim on the phone because I've been waiting for the past three minutes?

Phil: Fine. (PIM! PHONE!) He yelled.

Pim: Hello?

Keely: Hang up, Phil.

She heard a phone click off.

Pim: What's wrong, Keel?

Keely: I can't go out with him.

Pim: Why not? You're in love with him, aren't you?

Keely: But what if the time machine gets fixed and you have to leave. Then I'll never see him or you again.

Pim: Keel, if it does get fixed Phil will be a legal adult and will be able to decide whether he wants to stay here or not. And trust me, he'll stay. As for me, in the future age 16 is the legal age of adulthood and I'll be able to stay as well.

Keely: You really think that he would stay?

Pim: Didn't I just say that?

Keely: Thanks, Pim! I feel a lot better. Can I talk to Phil?

Pim: Sure. Just make sure that you tell him that you want t start dating. I think I'll die if you two don't.

Keely: Fine. Just maybe not yet.

Pim: Well make it soon. (PHIL! PHONE!)

Phil: Hello?

Keely: Look, Phil, I'm really sorry. And I just wanted to s-

Phil: Oh it's you. (He said this in a bored and angry voice.)

Keely: Well that was really loving (she said sarcastically)

Phil: Look who's talking.

Keely: Phil! I wanted to tell you that yes I'm still in love with you and would love to go out with you but obviously you don't so bye!

She then hung up the phone flopped on her bed and started to cry. She was already heart broken and they didn't even go out yet. No one said that it would be easy.

Phil's POV

Phil didn't know what to do. For starters he hung up the phone that felt like it was glued to his hand. So she did love him. If she wanted to go out with, why did she say no before. Something was obviously wrong. Even though he was a little mad, Phil still loved and cared for Keely. He decided to not even mention going out until he was sure that she was ok. He couldn't take talking to her where they couldn't see each other. He walked to her house, in the door (Mrs. Teslow just gave him a key years before so he wouldn't have to disturb them every time he went over), and upstairs to Keely's room. He knocked on the door because he heard crying and didn't want to burst in on her.

"Who is it?" She said weakly.

"It's me." He called back.

"What do you want, Phil?"

"I want to talk in person so it'll be hard to do that through your door."

She grunted so he took it as "You can come in." He saw her lying down on her bed on her stomach crying.

" Keely, please tell me what's wrong." Phil said this sitting next to her on the bed.

"I don't know what to do, Phil. I love you and would love to go out with you but I don't want to get hurt again." She sobbed and started to sit up resting her head on his shoulder.

"What do you mean again?"

"When I wrote that letter my heart was broken. I was never going to see you again. After that I swore that I would never let my heart get broken again."

"You're breaking my heart by doing this." He said quietly. Phil didn't think that she heard him but she did.

"Phil"

"No, Keely, listen. I promise that I won't hurt you. If I do you can have a hundred Pickford cops come after me with bombs that look like tomatoes. I will never hurt you and would never want to." He hugged her but she pulled away.

"You promise?" She said seriously.

"Yes, I promise to never hurt you because I love you too much." He pulled her into his arms again and this time she didn't oppose. They just sat there in each other's arms completely happy. Just then, Mrs. Teslow walked in the room.

"Keely, great news! You were given a full scholarship to that Broadcast Journalism college in Australia! You leave next week. Oh, hi, Phil." She added that finally noticing him. Mrs. Teslow then walked away proud of her daughter about the scholarship.

"Uh…Phil?" Keely said looking up at him.

"Yes?" He said looking into her eyes.

"What are we going to do?"

A/N: sorry for the cliff but didn't want you to forget me! Please review and please no flamers (or at least put SOMETHING positive.) I'm looking for constructive criticism not just criticism. Or good reviews would be even better.
