Jen of the Future

Chapter fifteen: go get her…

"Phil, over here!" Keely motioned for him to come over to their table as he walked in the ice cream shop. He walked sluggishly to the table and plopped down on the seat beside keely.

"Phil, what's wrong?" Keely instantly knew that there was trouble on her best friend's mind and was determined to help him sort things out.

Tia gave Phil a once-over. "Yeah, Diffy what's up? You look…weirder than usual…" Phil was kind of pale, sweaty and his hair was really, really messed up. He realized that it must have been that way because of all the times he scratched his head from thinking…but before he could think of a smart retort to that, Tia's phone started beeping. "ooh, Seth just sent me a text message, he wants to meet me by the park like, now… see ya!" She ran out of the ice cream shop.

"The park… greaaat…" Phil said sarcastically as he sank lower into his seat.

Keely crossed her arms."So, are you gonna tell me what's wrong or do I have to guess, because judging by the way you look I'd say it's…"

Phil knew that Keely had a pretty good idea it was Jen but he finished her sentence anyway. "It's Jen…" Phil told Keely about everything that happened before, during and after the fight.

"You WHAT!" Keely practically jumped out of her seat when Phil told her about Jen getting mad because she wasn't introduced to Alice's friend.

Phil put his hand on Keely's shoulder to calm her down since her reaction was so… sudden. "Keel, I didn't do anything!"

"Exactly Phil, you… didn't… do… anything…" She tried to make Phil see why Jen was so mad. And why she reacted that way. "Honestly, Phil…"

"That's exactly what she said…" Phil rolled his eyes and took a sip out of her milkshake

"See?" She took the milkshake from Phil. "How would you feel if a guy asked her Jen out right in front of you and she neither declined nor introduce you?"

Phil looked down "Wow… was that what I did?"

Keely lowered her head to meet Phil's eyes "Yeah… so you've got to apologize, okay?" She put her hand on his shoulder "Tell her you're so sorry for doing that and you feel like a complete idiot for taking this long for realizing what you did…"

Phil sighed and took Keely's milkshake again. Keely snatched it from him just before his lips touched the straw. "What are you waiting for, Phil? Go!"

He stood up took a deep breath and sat back down. Jen just entered the shop. "Keel, I can't do this…She's right there…"

Keely turned around and saw Jen at the counter "She ordered something to go… she's leaving… Phil, you better follow her…"

He sank down lower in his seat "I can't do it, Keel… what if she doesn't accept my apology? What if she breaks up with me? I cant do it…"

She took his hand "You think there's a better chance of the two of you staying together if you just sit here? C'mon Phil, she's not gonna dump you… if she loves you even half as much as you love her-and she does- she'll forgive you…you just have to admit you made a mistake…that's all it's gonna take…"

He took his hand away from Keely's "You're right…I cant lose her… I have to go" HE stood up and ran off to look for Jen

Keely was left alone in the ice cream shop. "Go get her, Phil" Tears were streaming from her eyes to her cheeks. She stood up and decided to go for a walk to clear her head.

Phil, on the other hand, was running to the park. He reached the spot where the fight occurred. He took a look around and saw Jen sitting on the swings sipping a milkshake, wearing dark glasses. Phil looked up. It was almost 6 and the sun was gone so he knew she had been crying. He sat down beside her and she turned her head, facing away from him.

"Jen…" Phil began
