That keeps me coming back to you
You're irreplaceable but I'll replace you
Now I'm standing on my own
Alone
Keely stood in her kitchen.
They had just had another row, but this time she had ended up being cut. Badly. Her arm was bleeding, and it just kept bleeding. She hoped she hadn't cut an artery, because them she would have to visit the hospital, and then Dean would hurt her. More than he already did.
He could even kill her.
Keely almost fell against the side of the cupboards as the reality sunk in. Dean had just stabbed her. Well, near enough. If he carried on doing this, then she could die. She could be killed.
She knew she had to escape, but she was afraid.
Not of being alone, as she expected. Now Via was back, she wouldn't be totally alone.
She was afraid of Dean tracking her down. Afraid that he'd come after her. That he'd kill her.
She was trapped. Whether she left, or not.
Phil knew the he should leave it. He should hope that someone else would look after her. Stop him hurting her.
But deep down he knew that nobody would. Because the Giggle had told him that he was there, and the Giggle never lied.
His mother watched him through the hole in the wall. It wasn't a usual thing, for her to spy on her children, but they were both going through a tough time. They had moved centuries in time, and now this whole business with Keely… She knew that his future was supposed to be in 2006. The Giggle had confirmed that, but they had known ever since they landed there. It was something about that century. Keely lived there, and he was happier than he ever had been in the future.
And she knew that no matter what the laws were, she had to take him home. Not just for Keely's sake, but for her son's sake as well. Because without Keely he was alone.
Next chapter will involve Phil, getting near home...or maybe I'll make it so he is at home. But it all doesn't go as planned...
