I feel you in my shadow
My heart feels cold and hollow
No matter where I run I see
Your eyes always follow me
You try to hold me

Phil sat in the time machine. His mother had told him to wait out here for her, but she had been hours. He needed to sleep. He had to decide what to do.

Looking around the time machine, he stopped when he saw a note on the wall of the RV. Walking over warily, he picked it up.

Phil,

I know this may not be what you want to hear, but I think that you should go back to Keely. Unfortunately we looked it up in the Giggle, and we aren't in 2011. We left then. Me, your father and Pim didn't return that year. We didn't want to look up any more of our future, so whether we return after this year is unknown. You go back though. You are there for Keely when she needs it most, and we don't want to stop you from being with the one you love. All our money from 2006 is under the first seat in the time machine, and you can use it until or if you move in with Keely. The New-Ager, to make you the age you would be then, is in the box your father put all of the future gadgets in, but I took the lock off. Do whatever makes you happy Phil.

All my love

Your mother, both in 2123 and 2011.

And, as one tear escaped his eye, he knew his mother was right. He had to save, and stay with Keely. Even if that meant leaving his family in the future.

Keely walked into her house, and was surprised to see Dean's car in the driveway. She let herself in, and put her coat up.

"Keely," Dean said looking melancholy.

Keely opened the fridge, and got out the stuff she had decided to make for dinner. "Yes?"

"You told her, didn't you?" Dean said.

"Who?" Keely asked, confused. She hadn't told anyone.

Dean slapped her, suddenly and hard. "The brunette bimbo, who came up to me, and asked me what I did to you. You told her that I hit you, didn't I?"

"No! She must have guessed. I would never tell anyone!" Keely cried.

He hit her again, and then sneered. "You'd better not. Because then I'll kill you. I will."

And then he left Keely, sobbing in the kitchen. And this time, she knew he meant it.

More updates soon, I totally promise. I'm just posting this before dinner, because I'm in a rush...lol.
