A/N: Ok, this chapter is what's going on with Phil while the previous chapter is occurring with Keely. Please remember to review after reading a chapter if you have any feedback you want to give me. Ok, here we go, continuing from Phil's previous appearance.
"Goodbye Keel." Phil mumbled silently in a very heartbreaking voice…
He stood there watching Keely run away, crying her eyes out. All he wanted to do was run after her and comfort her, but he knew it would only make his departure much worse for the both of them.
He spotted the music box on the ground. He walked over and picked it up. He opened the box and listened to the soothing music. He actually let out a tiny little smile like he always used to do. He really needed it. He checked to see if what he put into the box earlier was still there. Good, I'm going to need this.
Mr. Hackett was just about ready to start putting things into the time-capsule.
"Mr. Diffy, it's your turn." Mr. Hackett said, after putting in a can of tomatoes.
"Ok." Phil replied, as he slowly walked up to the time-capsule. "First off, on behalf of Keely Teslow, who sadly had to leave early, I would like to present this music box to put into the capsule." Phil held out the box, and slowly inserted it into the time-capsule. "And on behalf of my whole family and myself," Phil took a moment to look at his family, making sure that they were sticking with their decision, "I would like to… uhm…" Phil took out the note and started to sniffle up a bit. He was thinking about Keely again. "I'm sorry; I just can't do this right now. Please call me up again later."
"Very well then Mr. Diffy. I shall call you up again after everybody has finished."
"Thank you." Phil mumbled in a rather weak voice while walking off. He saw his dad heading towards him.
"Phil? Why didn't you do it yet? Don't you understand that we have to go home?" asked Lloyd, furiously.
"I know Dad, I know, but…look, I just need a moment to myself before we do this. Ok?"
"Alright, I understand Son, but just keep in mind that we can't stay here forever." Lloyd walked away to leave his son alone by himself.
Phil headed towards an abandoned tree. It was the only place where he could be enclosed from everybody else.
Oh my god, this is the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. I mean, how can I just let go of the note, knowing that she'll be gone forever? I just can't handle this. I don't want to let her leave my life. I didn't want to let her know that I'm leaving HER life. I'm not prepared to let go. I CANT let go of her. I promised her that I was always going to be there to protect her. I'm an idiot. Why am I doing this to her? SNAP OUT OF IT DIFFY! SHE'S JUST A GIRL! A very cute, adorable, and loving girl... The girl that took me into this century and kept our family's secret safe. No. NO! DON'T DO THIS TO YOURSELF! YOU HAVE TO LET GO! YOU JUST HAVE TO! YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE!
Phil had never been so confused in his life. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't just let his family down, but he didn't want to let Keely down either. Tears started dripping down from his eyes. He couldn't control himself. He just sat there, under the tree, crying and thinking about her. He simply wasn't ready to let go.
OMG. What is he going to do? Sorry, I'm just trying to make this a little more dramatic. He might not do what you expect. Next chapter is going to be a songfic chapter involving Keely. I'll leave it at that.
