When Keely awoke she heard her mother cooking in the kitchen. She slowly got out of bed and began to look for a pair of jeans. " Keely you cant possibly be thinking of wearing those." Keely turned around to see her mother at the doorway. " I'm not going." She turned back around still trying to find jeans. " But Phil was your best friend, besides you haven't left your room since you were released from the hospital"
"I cant go" this time she didn't even bother to turn around. "What do you mean cant?" her mother began to raise her voice. " It's Phil Keely! You should go and show some respect. What has gotten into you?" Keely turned around and began to raise her voice just the same. " I cant! If I go then he's really gone!" Ms. Teslow saw her daughters eyes begin to water. "Keely…" She slowly walked toward her and took her hand " He is gone"
" I know! I…know." She couldn't hold her tears anymore as they began to freely fall she fell to the ground and her mother put her arms around her. " Tell me why you cant go sweetie" after what seemed like forever she answered through her sobs " I just cant. I'm not ready for this. Please! Don't make me go! I'll pay my respects to the Diffys, but please I cant see his grave, not yet" Ms. Teslow remembered the time when Keely's father had passed away and how she tried to avoid the situation by keeping herself busy throughout the day, now it was Keely's turn. " Okay, you can stay home, I'll be back in an hour."
Just getting used to waking up everydayNot seeing your face
I just began to stop Setting your place
and I stopped longing for your Long embrace
" I have to get out of this house" Keely finally found the jeans she was looking for and threw on a sweatshirt, she decided she needed to get some air. As she walked around the neighborhood thoughts of Phil entered her mind. It had been two and a half weeks since that night. She couldn't remember much of it except waking up in a hospital not feeling her best.
Flashback
" Can you tell me who you are"
Keely awoke to see two doctors and her mother hovering over her.
"Huh? Um… Keely"
The doctor shook her head. "Good,how do you feel"
It took Keely a while to realize her splitting headache. " I feel like my head is the size of this room." the doctor looked over at the chart. " yes, well you were in a pretty bad accident"
"I was?" " Your lucky you only walked off with a couple bruises and a broken arm, not like your friend." Keely looked up with panic " Phil?" The doctor nodded " most of the damage was done on the drivers side. Your friends….well um… he's not looking so good, he's in acoma. It's very unlikely"
"How long have I been asleep"
"Two days" both doctors began to ramble on about her condition but only one thing was on her mind, Phil.
End flashback
Keely entered the park and sat on a bench. She had gone back to school yesterday, everyone was being so kind to her, some even gave her cards and balloons. The only part that was hard was when some jerk came over and asked her out, but Via had slapped him over the head making her laugh.
And it was God that made me Able
to finally sleep at night Though your not by my side,
finally I don't hardly cry, see right when I start letting go
Somebody wasn't to let me know
Can they take your place no they cant fill your space
She got up from her bench and walked over to their tree. She kept reading the words over and over.
Keely and Phil
Best Friends
Forever
" I need you Phil" As she began to read the words again a boy walked over and stood next to her, a boy she couldn't see. It took her a while to realize it had started raining so she decided to go home. Phil noticed her leave his side and he began to walk with her.
" I here Keels, I'm here"
