For the next two weeks, the tension between Phil and Keely was unbearable. Neither knew what to say to each other, and both were trying to put their broken hearts back together.

Via and Seth had hooked up in the first week, and Owen and Tia had soon followed. It seemed this house worked for everyone. Except Phil and Keely.

Phil hadn't spoken to anyone since he had fallen out with Keely. He preferred to be alone with his thoughts. Of Keely.

Keely had spoken to Via and Tia since they had fallen out. Mostly about Phil. It was Phil this, and Phil that, but still she couldn't speak to him.

To Keely, Phil was blind. He couldn't see that she loved him more than anything in the world. He had only kissed Tara to get back at her. Even though she hadn't done anything.

To Phil, Keely was more beautiful than she had ever been. Or maybe it was just because now she wasn't happy, she didn't put on as much make-up. Phil always liked Keely when she didn't slap the stuff on her face. It made her look beautiful in her own way.

It was the Monday before they all had to leave the house. They only had five more days to go until they would be able to see the outside world again. Via, Seth, Owen and Tia were all sitting in the living room, watching The O.C.

Phil came in, got a packet of crisps, and shuffled back to his room again. Via looked at him sympathetically. Then she thought of Keely, sitting in her room, crying over pictures of her and Phil when they were happy. "We can't let them do this," she said, breaking the silence.

Owen looked at her through a mouthful of popcorn. "Do what?"

"Break up their friendship because of misunderstandings. Phil shouldn't have kissed Tara, but he did it as an impulse decision. He didn't mean it. And Keely knows he didn't. She just doesn't know what to say," Via said.

Seth nodded. "Neither does Phil. He keeps trying to write letters to her, but they always end up scrunched up on the floor."

"Yeah. I picked them all up. They're good. You wanna hear one?" Owen asked, pulling a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket and tossing it to Via.

"Keely. There is so much that is left unsaid, and I feel like I need to say it. Although, I don't quite know how to phrase it. You're the only person I could trust with my secret. And I love being able to talk to someone about it. Which is only one of the thousands of reasons I need to be friends with you again," Via read out. "That's it. He must have crumpled it up then."

Owen looked at the floor. "That's really deep."

"We can't let them do this. They're destined to be together. She talks about him night and day to us. She loves him with all of her heart, even though her broke it. We've got to help him put it back together," Via said.

Seth agreed. "You're right. We knew all along that they were supposed to be together. And they finally figured it out themselves, and then Tanner Kirkpatrick had to ruin it all. We have to help them get back together. And not just as friends. For Pheely!"

"Yeah. For Pheely!" Via grinned. "Now all we need is a plan of action"

Tia looked over at them for the first time in the conversation. "I support Pheely and all, but I haven't been able to hear what Rachel Bilson has been saying for the past five minutes."

I don't actually know if Tia and Seth made up Pheely. I don't think they did, but if they didn't, I just put it in as an extra detail.

I'm really sorry to say it, but there's only gonna be about 3 more chapters. I don't want to stop writing it either, this fanfic must be my fave one to write. But, when something can't go any further, you have to stop it, so three more chapters, and then you'll know what happens!

Don't own POTF, never will...boo...hoo

The next chapter will be 'the faceoff' if you want. They fnally talk. Or yell...whichever one you want to imagine it as!
