The song in the previous chapter was 'Obvious' by Westlife. I'm writing this chapter on Monday 28th November, chances are, it won't be finished by December :)
Keely walked out of her room to go to the dining hall, hoping she'd run into Phil on the way there so she could thank him. She looked down the hallway and saw Phil just going down the stairs,
"Phil!" she yelled, but he ignored her, descending down the stairs. Keely ran towards him but heard eager footsteps and Phil going,
"Hey, watch where you're going!" Moments later, Via was standing in front of Keely, a beaming smile on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" Keely inquired
"Is it true?"
"Is what true?" Keely looked around, maybe Via was talking to someone behind her; she wasn't. Via sighed,
"Is it true that you were caught snogging Jason Sassafras in the lift?"
Keely looked bemused,
"Snogging?" She said, not know what the word meant. Via sighed again,
"Making out. I heard people saying that you were caught making out with Jason Sassafras inn the 'elevator'" Keely's eyes widened. Who could've made up such a thing? Keely pushed past Via, hoping to get to Phil. No luck. As Keely descended the stairs, Jason blocked her at the top of the stairwell of the main hall. Students going to dinner were walking around the floor below and all looked up to see Jason and Keely together at the top of the stairwell, wondering whether or the rumours were true.
"Hey, Keely," he said sleazily, trying to sound cool, "Wanna make those stories true?" He grabbed her round the waist and pulled her towards him, but Keely was quick and slipped form his grasped.
"Leave me alone!" she shouted at him, "I'm trying to find Phil!" She push passed him, ran down the stairs and out of the huge doors. She had no idea where Phil was, but she hoped that the cool sea breeze would help clear her mind. She wandered around the large complex, the sea lapped near-by. Keely was draw by the sound, it was so…appealing. The moon glistened on the sea and stars sparkled widely. She stepped nearer mesmerized. As she did, she heard a crumbling below her; she was at the edge of the cliff. Before she could even scream, the cliff end gave way below her, doom was inevitable. But instead of falling she felt a tug on her arm and she was slung back onto the grassy area around her. Keely gasped; relieved she was alive, so much so that she didn't even thank her saviour.
"You k, Keels?" Phil asked her, she turned around smiling. Keely threw herself over him, locking him in a tight hug. "I'm gonna take that as a yes" he smiled back at her. "I saw you on the edge and I was like 'Oh my God' and then you screamed and I was so scared." He was talking fast now. Keely just smiled,
"So, Phil, what were you doing out here?"
"Oh, I was…just star-gazing" he pointed to a little blanket and a small bag he had, "In the future, there is so much light pollution that you can't even see starts anymore, and this place is away from any big lights, you can see the stars perfectly"
"Oh…mind if I join you?"
"Sure" The two sat down on the blanket gazing up at the stars, neither saying a word. Soon Keely broke the silence by shivering,
"Are you O.k?" Phil asked her
"Yeah…just a bit cold" Phil took of his jumper, and offered it to Keely,
"Here, Keels"
"No, I couldn't, then you'd be cold!" He shook his had and draped the jumper over her shoulders. Instantly, her body was heated.
"Thermo-jacket" Phil explained. Phil then picked up a thermos and offered it to Keely.
"You can have coffee, espresso, cappuccino, hot chocolate or chicken soup" He told her, indicating to the buttons along the side, each showing different drinks.
"Hot chocolate please" Keely said smiling; Phil pressed the button and a warm drink poured into the lid, complete with marshmallows. Keely smiled and sipped gratefully, resting her head of Phil's shoulder.
"You see that star there, next to the ursa minor?" Phil asked her, pointing to a constellation
"Huh?" Keely replied back, she wasn't an astronomer.
"The big one which looks like a small bear" he sighed
"Oh…yeah, I think I see it" She glanced in the completely different direction to Phil. He saw this and turned her head to the way he was looking.
"Now I see it! The really sparkly one, next to the bear's head?"
"Yeah, actually."
"What about it?"
"Well, I mean, the star, it burned out 1000 of years ago, but we can still see it. We're sharing the sky with all the people in the past, in the future. One day, they would like up at the sky and see what we see." She nodded in acknowledgement. "So if I go back to 2121, you can still see me, even though I'm not here. Do you understand?" Keely looked bemused,
"Not…really…"
"Doesn't matter anyway, but that star, soon we won't be able to see it, just like planets nearer the star."
"Phil, why are you telling me this?"
"Um…well, that star is my star. In the future, whenever a child is born, they get a star, just randomly picked, and that's mine- and this is the first time I've seen it."
"So it's the Phil-Star?"
"Yeah, and I seem to see it every night, which is weird. But, yeah, if I go back, you can look up, and I'll be there" He gazed at her, smiling.
"So," she said, snuggling up closer, "Do I have a star?" Phil didn't reply for a while.
"Phil?"
"Well, I know this sounds really corny, but you…your eyes, the sparkle more then the stars…"
"So, if you leave, you wanna take one of my eyes with you?" She said jokingly, laughing. Phil laughed in return. Phil rested her head back on his shoulder,
"Phil…you didn't hear that you rumour about me and Jason…?"
"Yeah," Phil replied bitterly, "I'm very happy for the two of you" He went to move Keely's head of his shoulder, but she stopped his hand with hers.
"It's…It's not true though, just some stupid rumour" Phil seemed to brighten up,
"Really? That's great!" Keely eyed him suspiciously,
"Why is that, Philly-Willy?" Phil stalled, looking for words,
"Well…you know…because he's a jerk and I was just looking out for you" Keely smiled and snuggled closer to Phil, he hand still in his. Soon, she started to drift off to sleep and Phil wrapped his arm around her.
xXx
"Keely…pst…Keely!" Phil said, nudging her, she flickered her eyes, "Keel! It's, like 3 am!" Keely shot up and help Phil put everything back into his bag, together, they sneaked back into the hotel. As they reached Keely's room, there was a note on the door. Phil pulled out the WZRD to read it. It scruffy writing it said,
Keely,
I couldn't find you. I am going to bed. Owen is bunking with someone on the 3rd floor. If you read this, just go to Phil's room or summit
Toodles
Via
They sneaked quietly up the stairs and went to Phil's room. Half of Keely's stuff was in the room, so she pulled on her night dress, a white one with feathers around the rim, and snuggled up to an already asleep Phil. She too drifted off to sleep. Keely had a lovely dream.
She and Phil were up in space, dancing in the stars. They flew across the sky like it was a ballroom. As they reach the "Phil-Star", they stopped and Phil started to caress her face, brushing the hair from it. Keely blushed shyly. Her eyes shot open. She saw a man standing in front of her. He had longish hair and the glowing red eyes. Keely screamed and Phil shot awake. Just as he did, the man disappeared.
"Keely, what is it?" Keely was too stunned to say thing"Are you o.k?" He asked anxiously.
"There…there was a man…he had glowing red eyes…I saw him…" Tears fled her eyes, Phil wrapped his arm around him.
"It'll be O.k, Keely. I'm here…just go back to sleep. He won't come back…I promise, I will never let anyone scare or hurt you" Keely eventually succumbed to Phil's demand and fell asleep, as did Phil"
xXx
"PHIL!" Keely screamed for her best friend, Phil awoke sweating. His eyes darted to the doorway, Keely was being dragged away by a man just taller then her. He covered her month with is hand. Phil rushed out of the bed but the man stared at him with blood red eyes. As he did, it sent a shiver through Phil's body, for a moment, he was immobilized. Phil was awoken when the door slammed shut on him. He hammered it desperately, Keely's pleads for help echoed through Phil's head.
Meh. Finally did this chapter! It is now Saturday the 3rd of December :) As I said earlier, the song was called "Obvious"
