Okay, this is the final chapter. If I remember, I'll post the words to Midnight Show at the bottom of this page. Heck, even I've never seen all the words. You tell me where it says about him killing his girlfriend. Well, on with the story.
"You know Phil?" Keely said in a playful tone, "It's been three months since-"
"Since we became a couple?" Phil finished her sentence, rocking back and forth slightly on the swing chair in Phil's back garden. From the clouds up above, she could tell that it was gonna snow soon.
"I was gonna say 'Since I saved your life'" She said in reply, "But this one works as well." She giggled. Phil lent over and kissed her, softly. She blushed when he pulled away.
"That's for saving my life"
"Well, I should do that more often, then" Keely kissed him again. Just then Pim came out, caring a black sack and a pair of plant-trimmers.
"Save the romance for the bedroom!" Pim told them in disgust. The two pulled away, sheepishly.
"I…" Keely cleared her throat; "I'd better go" She quickly got up of the seat, leaving the garden in a hurry. Phil gazed after her, love struck.
"What's your problem?" Pim asked him, in a harsh tone.
"What's yours?"
Pim sighed heavily, "Go ask dad" As Phil walked past Pim to get into the house, he could see that her eyes were red a puffy.

"So why did you want to see me?" Keely asked Phil. Was it her, or did he look like he'd been crying. The winter sun was starting to set now.
"I…um…" Phil bit his lip, "Keely…we've…" he couldn't get a sentence out.
"What is it?" The two were sitting in Keely back garden, among the ceramic statues. She was twiddling the small baby's breath he had just given her between her fingers.
"Ever since we met…our friendship has been…difficult, to say the least" Keely looked bemused; Phil carried on, "With me being a time traveller. And yesterday…" Phil stopped yet again, breathed in and spoke again, "…yesterday, my dad actually fixed the time machine and tried it out and everything." Keely knew what was coming, "Keel, there's no easy way to put this…I'm going back and I can never come back to visit you"
Keely sat quietly on the grass, not sure what to do. "Get out" she said in a hushed whisper
"Pardon?" Phil replied, slipping his hand in hers.
"Get away from me!" She cried at him, practically ripping his hand from hers. "Get the hell out of my garden, out of my life" Phil could see from the look in her eyes that she was serious, and that she would rip his head off if he didn't do as she said.
"S…sees ya, Keels" Phil stammered as he rose from the ground. He looked back at her once as he left the garden, and he saw past the anger and the hatred, and saw the sadness in her. As soon as Phil had left, Keely sobbed in anger and in sadness, crushing the delicate flower in her hand.

Keely sat on a bench in the park, crying. The sun had fully set and only the moonlight illuminated the cold park. Keely heard footsteps behind her, the snow crunching between their feet. Keely held her breath, just realising how cold she was. When Phil had told her the news, she had dismissed him and then gone down to the park. She now wished she had gloves or a scarf or coat with her. The person stopped walking but Keely didn't turn to see who it was.
"Hey Keel" Phil's familiar voice broke the silence. She didn't reply, "You're mom said you'd be here" still no reply. Phil sighed. "I'm sorry, Keels" He turned around and started walking away. When he walked about 3 feet Keely replied angrily,
"Sorry? Just what are you sorry for, Philip Diffy? Sorry for coming here? Sorry for meeting me? Sorry for offering to tutor me? Sorry for telling me your secret? Sorry for being my friend?" then she quietly added, "Sorry for making me fall in love with you?"
Phil walked back to Keely and sat on the bench next to her. She shuffled away from him. "Keely, never have I regretted any of those things." He paused, "especially not the last one" Keely scoffed, "Please believe me, Keel" he said in a half-pleading tone. Taking off one of his gloves, he placed his hand on hers; he immediately pulled away, screaming slightly,
"Jeez, you're frozen!" Keely nodded slightly, "Here, take my gloves." He offered, she denied. "Keel, you're gonna catch your death in this cold!"
"I don't care," she mumbled, "I feel like dying" Phil stared at her hard,
"Keely, please don't be like this. You can't waste your whole life, because of me." She looked back at him,
"Phil…" she muttered before falling into his side. Her face has blue as were her lips and hands. Phil removed his clothes to put over her. He wrapped one of his scarves around her neck, put his gloves over her icy hands and placed his hat over her frozen ears. Holding her close, he hugged her.
"Thanks…Phil…for everything" She whispered, before passing out.

When Keely awoke, Phil had gone. She sighed, wiping icicle tears from her eyes. She still had all of Phil's clothes on, and she was nice and warm, although she wasn't feeling like that. Keely stretched her arms, opening her hands. As she did, a note fell out and flew down the park, into the snow. Keely followed in, her trainers wet. As she picked up the note, slightly dripping from the bottom, she took it back to the bench. It was long and in Phil's writing. As she read it, fresh tears flooded her eyes.
And that is the end of this story! The sequel has a little to do with this story :) My internet has gone kaput so I may have it up for Christmas if the 'net is working by then. I think I may have figured where the dude kills the dudette in this song, the bit about the baby's breath and the chandelier, but, try to find it out for yourself. Reviews would be awesome; else you shall never know what the note says! (I have to type up the song words from memory, stupid bloody internet. I could listen to it, but I'd rather listen to Green Day)
Midnight Show
I
know what you want
I
wanna take you a midnight show tonight
If
you can keep a secret
I
got a blanket in the back seat on my mind
And
a little place that sits beneath the sky
She
turned her face to speak
But
no-one heard her cry
Drive
faster, boy
Drive
faster, boy
I
know there's a hope
There's
too many people trying to help me cope
You
got a real short skirt
I
wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah
We
were just in time
Let
me take a little more off your mind
There's
something in my head
Somewhere
in the back said
We
were just a good thing
We
were such a good thing
Make
it go away without a word
But
promise me you'll stay
And
fix these things I've hurt
Oh
make it go away!
Drive
faster, boy
Drive
faster, boy
Oh
crashing time can't hide a guilty girl
With
jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls
I
took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of
stars in atmosphere
And
watch her disappear
Into
the midnight show...
Oh
faster, faster, faster...
Oh
no no no no no...
If
you keep a secret
Well
baby... you can keep a secret
If
you keep a secret...
