Chapter 18

"Geeze, this guy is stupid." Phil said watching Wheel of Fortune. "It's The Wicked Bitch!"

"The Wicked Witch?"

"Correct!"

"Damn" Phil said. Lil walked out of the bathroom and rolled her eyes at Phil.

"Phil, please stop cussing in front of the baby." Lil said. "I dont want his first word to be the f word."

"Okay, okay." Phil nodded. "When will they be back?"

"Anytime now." Angelica said reading a magazine at the table.

Suddenly, the door flew open and Phil quickly turned around and smiled, then frowned. "Oh, just you." Phil sighed.

"Good afternoon to you, too." Susie smiled sarcasticlly. Suddenly, Dil walked in followdd by Tommy. "Hey guys."

"Tommy!" Phil yelled. "Where's, um, Kimi?"

"Chuckie took her to his place." Tommy said. "She refused on coming here."

"Really?" Phil asked.

"No." Dil said. "Chuckie and her and parking my truck."

Just then, Chuckie and Kimi walked in. "Kimi!" Susie and Lil both screamed and hugged her.

"Hey guys." she smiled. She saw Mikey. "Aww. Hi there." she smiled at him. She then looked up and saw Phil looking at her. "Hi."

Tommy and the rest all looked at eachother. "The diner?" he asked.

"Yeah!"

"Okay!" the all agreed and everyone except Kimi and Phil left. But, Mikey was left in there. Lil suddenly rushed back in. "Geeze." she said. "You are a hand full." she grabbed him and left.

"So. Whats up?" Phil asked getting up. He walked over to the fridge, got him out a beer, and opened it.

"Haven't changed much, have you?" Kimi smirked.

Phil glared at her and dumped the beer in the sink. "Well, how's Z?"

"Just a money loving, cheating, drunk." Kimi shrugged.

"Interesting." Phil nodded. "Hey, uh, Kimi."

"Phil."

"Kimi, I-"

"I dont want to get back together, Phil. I'm sorry." Kimi said. "But, maybe we can still be friends?"

"Oh, um, oh yeah. I was just about to say the same the same thing." Phil siad. "Infact, I met someone."

"Oh. Really?"

"Yeah, her name is, uh, um, Summer."

"Summer what?"

"Summer, uh, Break. Summer Break."

"Really? Cool. Anyway, friends?"

"Friends."

"Now, lets go join our other friends at the diner."

"Okay, lets see." Tommy said. He stared at a type writer he had found. The paper had nothing writne on it. "Oh! Title!" he started typing. "Love's Harsh Consequences. By Thomas Pickles." he smiled at his paper. "Excellent. Okay, what now?" he thought of what to write.

"Tommy!" Dil ran in. "Doug's drunk and giving away free food." he yelled and ran back out.

"Break time!" Tommy cheered running out.

That night, Phil laid in his bed. He turned over and missed seeing Kimi there. He sighed and remembered their times together. He remembered what started it all. Working with her at the school. It was the kids who had persuaded him to go out with her. Then, at the houseboat, everyone found out. He was almost killed by Chuckie, though. But, the trip to Miami. That ruined it all. This was all Z's fault. He had to be a rich snooty jerk. He sat up and thought. It wasn't Z's fault. It was his. He broke it up. She really did love him and he ruined it.
Kimi slept in Chuckie and Dil's guest bedroom. She felt guilty putting Chuckie on the couch but she had more important things to think about. Phil. But, it was his fault they broke up, not her's or Z's.

The next morning, Kimi was at the kitchen table looking through a newspaper at apartment ads. "Whatcha doing?" Dil asked coming out of his bedroom.

"Oh, hey. Just looking for an apartment." Kimi said.

"Okay, well, I gotta go to work. So see ya, and dont look in my closet." Dil smiled and walked out the door.

"Lets see." Kimi looked through. "Okay, um, this one looks good. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms. Looks nice. Wait. No kitchen? What kind of home has no kitchen?"

"Whats up?" Phil walked into Cheezy Chuck's and approached Chuckie who was at the counter.

"Hey." he turned around. "Want anything to eat?"

"Nah." Phil shook his head. "Just came to visit you. So did Kimi go back to work?"

"I dont think so." Chuckie shook his head. "Maybe she did. She really didn't mention it. Hey, wait. Dont you need to be at work?"

"Son of a-" Phil yelled running out.

"Sorry I'm late." Phil ran in to see Kimi at the desk. "Hi."

"Hey. I'm back." she smiled.

"Well, I know." Phil chuckled.

Vinny walked past and nudged Phil. "Hey hey." he smiled.

"Shut up." Phil snapped.

"Phil, I'll be right back." Kimi walked out.

"Phil!" Jeffrey yelled. "you two broke up? I cant believe this!"

"I told you kids when I got back." Phil said.

"Yeah, so?" Vinny shrugged.

"Excuse me." a girl tapped Chuckie on the shoulder. He sighed and turned aorund.

"Welcome to Cheeezzzyyyy-" he stopped himself staring at the girl.

"C-Chuckie?"

"N-N-Nicole?"

"How have you been, Chuckie?"

"G-Good." Chuckie shrugged.

"Well, I gotta go." Nicole quickly left.

"Wait dont you want a-" Chuckie then realized she couldn't hear him. "-Cheezy Chuck Cheese Pizza?"
