The song used in this chapter, is none other than "Protecting Me" by Aly Michalka, or should I say Keely Teslow. Keep in mind that there will be numerous chapters with songs in them. Enjoy
After countless breakouts of crying, Keely attempted to stand strong after having so much emotion going through her.
I know that I must stay strong until I forget him. Keely tried so hard to not think about the man that ended up hurting her so. She sobbed. No, what am I thinking? I can never forget his lovable charm and the cute little grin he always had on his face.
Keely kept thinking about him. All the things he did for her; all the things that would simply disappear when he leaves for good. She remembered that if it wasn't for him, she would've never gotten over her stage freight. She couldn't believe that in a certain amount of time, one of the greatest fears that she conquered would suddenly come back to her.
She decided to get up and search her closet. She dug up a tape. She stared at it for awhile, still thinking about the whole thing She popped the video into her VCR. It was the video of her performance at the Star of the Future contest. She wanted to watch the video one last time, before any record of it disappeared.
You,
you're always there for me
When I need you most
Day and
night you're by my side
Protecting me
She couldn't believe how nervous she used to be when performing. She remembered how Phil's presence was the only thing she needed to conquer her fear. How could the closest thing to her perfection end up being so far away from her?
When
I feel like crashing down
You seem to be around
There you are
You're not that far 'cause
Phil was always there for her. He stuck with her whenever she needed him. He was a true friend. Keely still couldn't absorb the fact that he was about to disappear from her life entirely. Keely still thought to herself, I hate him for doing this to me.
Whenever, where
ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me tight
with all your might
And
you'll never let me go
Protecting me
Phil was the only one that protected her. He made sure that nothing bad would ever happen to her. She had no idea that even the best protector can turn into the one that hurt her the most.
When
it's my turn
To help you out
I'll gladly lift you up
without a doubt
She was just as willing to do anything for him as he was willing to do anything for her. He deserved it after everything he offered her. They promised that they would help each other no matter what the situation was, just as long as they were there for one another.
Whenever,
where ever baby
You'll protect me
No matter what
Hold me
tight with all your might
You'll never let me go
(Protecting me)
That was it. There was nobody to protect her anymore. She had to live the rest of her life with that incomplete feeling again. The one she always had before she met Phil. She never wanted that feeling to come back to her.
Keely knew that Phil would drop the note into the capsule and vanish any time now. Keely closed her eyes, just imagining Phil. She didn't think about anything else besides him. She told herself to try and remember him no matter what. She simply stood there, with her eyes shut, hoping that when Phil disappears, she would still remember him.
