Ok, before I start writing, I would like to thank everybody who has reviewed and gave me good feedback. I would especially like to give special notice to the anonymous user with the name of kEeLyNpHiL4eVeR for reviewing after EVERY single chapter. That's the kind of reviewing I like. Hehe . So anyways, thanks again everyone for the positive reviews I've received so far. Now I'd like to give credit to the Backstreet Boys for their song "Crawling Back to You," which is the song I'm going to use in this chapter. So anyways, continuing with when we last saw Keely…

She simply stood there, with her eyes shut, hoping that when Phil disappears, she would still remember him.

A minute has passed and Keely hasn't noticed anything different. She opened her eyes and still remembered him. What's going on? Is he still here?

She shut her eyes again, still thinking about him. A minute passed. Two minutes. Three minutes. Five minutes. Ten minutes have passed and Keely just stood there, with all her memories intact.

OMG, what's happening? Did he do what I think he did? What I HOPE he did? Is it possible…? No, it can't be. He's gone. Accept it Teslow, just accept it…

But why do I still remember him? Maybe it IS possible…

Keely had a sudden feeling; a sudden hopefulness wishing that he remained in this century.

He didn't drop the letter. I know it. I can sense it. He stayed. He stayed for me.

Keely couldn't believe that she actually had a tiny little smile on her face. Her instinct told her that the boy she loved stayed just for her. She had a rush of happiness just hoping that it was true.

I bet he's just thinking about me. I just know it...

Wait, what the heck am I doing? I should be over there with him. I should be in his arms, willing to protect me again.

Keely ran out of her room with a tiny bit of excitement. She was going to head straight for Phil, just knowing that he was going to be there for her. She went outside and started running towards the place where she knew she would find him; in the presence of his very own home.

Everybody knows that I was such a fool to ever let go of you
Baby I was wrong
Yeah I know I said we'd be better off alone
It was time that we moved on
I know I broke your heart, I didn't mean to break your heart
But baby here I am

As Keely ran, she realized that she deeply regretted how she acted when Phil told her the bad news. She shouldn't have told him that she hated him. She knew that deep down, she truly loved him. She gave all of her heart to him.

Keely finally reached Phil's home and ran up to the front door.

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised and I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth and now I'm crawling back to you

She had never been so anxious in her life. She just wanted to see him open the door and let each other fall into each other's arms.


I know you're in there and you can make me wait
But I'm not gonna wait
It's the least that I can do, just to tell you face to face
I was lying to myself, now I'm dying in this hell
Boy I know you're mad, I can't blame you for being mad
But baby here I am

Was he in there? Why hasn't anybody answered the door yet? Hadn't he realized who it was? Was he mad? No, that can't be Teslow… it just doesn't make any sense.

Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised and now I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth and now I'm crawling back to you

She was driving herself mad. Come on! I know that he's in there. He's just playing around. Yeah, that's it. He's playing around again, like he always does.


If you could see these tears I'm crying
Touch these hands that can't stop shaking
Hear my heart that's barely beating
You will see a different girl

She started believing that he really wasn't playing around. She started thinking that he wasn't there after all. Am I wrong? Maybe he really didn't stay for me… All the excitement that she felt had suddenly dropped. Tears began to shed again. In a very depressing way, she thought to herself, what was I thinking? I was stupid for thinking he would stay… Keely almost gave up and headed back home, but decided to try one more time, even it meant breaking through the door. She was dying to know the truth.


But baby here I am
Banging on your front door
My pride spilled on the floor
My hands and knees are bruised and I'm crawling back to you
Begging for a second chance
Are you gonna let me in?
I was running from the truth, now I'm crawling back to you

That was it. Keely couldn't take it anymore. She tried with all of her strength to burst through the door, just to see if anybody was there. She pushed and pushed until she couldn't push any longer.

Her effort proved worth it, and the door burst open. Keely stared into the house, looking into the completely dark, emptiness of it. Nobody in sight.

She couldn't believe it. It was true. Phil didn't stay for her.

WHY DID I HAVE TO LET MY EMOTIONS TAKE THE BEST OF ME? HOW COULD I POSSIBLY BELIEVE THAT HE WOULD'VE STAYED FOR ME? He doesn't care for me… He left me behind in my own shattered world.

But Keely realized something.

Wait, but why is it that I still remember him clearly? How can it be if I know he left…or did he? Maybe he DID stay. No, that can't be… if he stayed, then why isn't he here? Where else can he possibly be? Keely thought for a moment. An idea suddenly popped into her head. THE TIME-CAPSULE!

Keely had that feeling again. Her hopes and dreams caught up with her once again. That was the only place that she could possibly think of. That's the only other place Phil could be.

She ran towards the spot where they met earlier today. She was now hoping, even more than before, that Phil would be there.

When she finally got there, she scoped out the area trying to spot him.

THERE HE IS! She finally saw him, standing right next to the time-capsule, note in hand, making a speech.

"…I thought being remembered a hundred years from now wasn't important. But I'd give a hundred years of memories just to remember the most important, special, wonderful person I've ever met...Keely Teslow."

Everybody who just heard him was in awe. Keely couldn't believe that she just heard him say that. It was that moment that she could finally tell that he did care about her the same way she cared about him. But was it too late?

She just stood there staring at him, with Phil staring back at her. He mouthed something at her, and Keely perfectly read his lips that said, "I Love You Keely."

With that said, Phil dropped the note into the capsule. Keely couldn't believe that he did what he just did. She didn't expect him to actually go through with it after confessing his true feelings. She sunk down to the ground crying; not looking at him at all. She didn't want to actually witness him go.

He just stood there looking at her for the last time. All he thought about was Keely. That's all he wanted to think about; because in a number of seconds, his whole family and himself would just disappear. Every memory of their wonderful experience in this century would be gone for good.

Phil stood there with his head tilted back and his eyes closed shut. In a few seconds, the Diffy's simply vanished out of thin air.

How do you like them apples? Lol. Please understand that this story is far from over. Anything can happen. Whether the story will have a happy ending or not, well, it all depends on how you look at it, now isn't it?
