If Only You Knew
Chapter Nine: Robbie's Revenge Part One
"Where is he?" Pim said aloud to herself in frustration as she sat just a few rows behind her two lovely suspects in the theater. Robbie was nowhere to be seen, while as the movie was just about to start and her plan was slowly going down the drain. She let out an impatient growl and slouched deeper into her seat, disgust taking over her features as she watched the two best friends in front. "My perfect older brother and 'The Girl'. Shoulda known that it was gonna happened sooner or later. Ugh."
-----------------------------------------
Phil rolled his eyes and groaned as he was bombarded with a million questions from the girl sitting next to him. It seemed almost impossible for so many things to be tumbling out of just one person's mouth, but then again...this WAS Keely that we were talking about.
"Have you seen this movie before?"
"Ooh! So what's it like to watch one of these things?"
"You don't need those 3D glasses to see them pop out at you? How is that even possible?"
"Ohmigosh, Phil…the future is SO COOL!"
"Are absolutely sure that the movie isn't scary?"
"You're ABSOLUTELY sure? Because, you know, it isn't go---"
"Keely!" he suddenly exclaimed, cutting off her rambling mid-sentence as he turned and covered her mouth. "We...are going...to see the movie...in just...a few minutes," Phil continued slowly once he had gotten her attention. "So...save the rest of the questions for later, okay? No, I haven't seen it, and no, you don't need 3D glasses because this is the FUTURE we're talking about, and yes, I'm absolutely positively sure that the movie is NOT scary." He paused for a split second then shook his head, unsure. "Never mind. Scratch that last part. I'm not really sure about the scary thing."
He pulled his hand away and immediately regretted it as a jumble of words once again poured out of Keely's mouth. "WHAT? I thought you said it wasn't going to be scary! Phil, you know I can't handle---"
Before she could finish, or start again in this case, Phil stopped her once again, this time with a finger to her lips. "Keel! It's going to be alright, okay? It's just a movie, and I'm here, remember? Don't. Worry. About it." He grinned at the flustered look on his best friend's face and dropped his finger, settling his hand on the armrest of his seat. Sometimes he wondered how he could be so confident in the most unusual situations, and this particular moment was just that. He sighed inwardly, mentally shaking his head. 'Now if only I could do that when I needed it the most...'
Keely, on the other hand, was the exact opposite of confident at the moment. 'How does he do that?' she thought in exasperation, nervously turning back towards the movie front and absently tugging at the bracelet on her wrist. 'He literally makes me melt with just a simple touch nowadays! How am I supposed to deal with this when he's my best friend? I'm not supposed to be feeling this way about him! That's the number one rule-breaker for best friends, Teslow, how'd you get yourself into this?'
She stole a glance at Phil, who caught her looking before she had a chance to turn away, and he gave her a goofy smile. Keely went a light crimson and somehow mustered a weak smile before quickly turning back to the movie front, hiding behind her arm and mentally whacking herself across the head.
'Smart, Teslow! Can I get any weirder?' She sighed softly and massaged her eyes. 'Why does this have to be so hard for me?' Deciding that the best thing to do was to hide it all, Keely tuned out the small voice protesting in her head and forced herself to focus on the movie, which had just begun. As the lights dimmed and the first realistic holograms began to appear, she cut one more subtle glance in Phil's direction, making sure that he didn't take notice this time.
To him, she was just a friend. So that was how she was going to act for now...if she could hold it together.
What she didn't know was that Phil was thinking the exact same thing.
--------------------------------------------------------
"FINALLY!" Pim declared loudly, which earned her several glares from the audience and a few "Shh!" from the people surrounding her. Robbie groaned and put a hand to his head as he quietly slumped down in the chair next to her, careful not to be seen by either Phil or Keely.
"So what's up, dudette?" He asked Pim, leaning in and flashing a perfect smile her way, much to her disgust. She groaned and shoved him farther away from her, rolling her eyes.
"I hope you have a plan, Pipehead, cause we don't have much time to mess this up."
-------------------------------------------------------
"Look, Phil, I'm just letting you know now...if I do get scared, there's a really big chance that your arm's gonna be red by the time we walk out of the theater," Keely whispered, leaning in close so that he could hear. Phil laughed and rested a reassuring hand on hers, and her heart fluttered in her chest.
"I'm willing to deal with the pain, then, I guess," he replied, shrugging casually. Keely smiled in thanks, but much to her disappointment Phil's hand left her own and the warmth disappeared. She turned back towards the holograms in front and watched in complete awe as the opening credits exploded right in front of her eyes.
Hopefully her confidence would last. But then again…why not be clingy when you had the boy of your dreams sitting right next to you, in a suspenseful, scary movie no less?
Keely tried to push the thought out of her mind, reminding herself firmly that she and Phil were just friends and nothing more. But nothing could suppress the faint grin that slowly appeared on her lips.
Maybe a scary movie wouldn't be so bad after all.
-----------------------------------------------------
Pim nodded slightly as Robbie explained the final touches of his plan, and at last a gleeful smile broke out on her face.
"Perfect. Do that, then, and we'll have ourselves the perfect revenge. I'm counting on ya, pretty boy," she said cheerfully as she patted Robbie on the shoulder, and he gave her a strange look. "Ehehe...sorry." she added hastily, removing her hand quickly as he slowly stood up to leave.
"Wait..." Pim interjected before Robbie could go any further, and he turned to look at her with an impatient and questioning stare. "What?" he snapped, as he folded his arms across his chest in irritancy.
"Let Phil enjoy what time he has for a little while longer," she said softly, smirking as images only she could see flashed through her mind.
"The more fun he has now...the worse it'll be for him when it falls to pieces."
------------------------------------------------------
If there was ever a time that Phil actually enjoyed a movie to the fullest, it would definitely be now. Not only was the movie one of the best suspenseful and creepy ones he had ever seen, but because of it the girl next to him was literally clinging onto him like he was the only thing left in the world to hold. As another crash was heard throughout the multiple speakers and a ghostly hologram sprung towards the audience, Keely let out what sounded like a muffled squeak and buried her face into Phil's shoulder, no longer caring about the distance she should be keeping between them.
Inhaling the sweet scent that was Keely, Phil gently nudged her until her eyes peeked out at him, barely visible under the abundance of her hair. "Hey...you okay, Keel?" he asked quietly, a hint of worry etched into his words.
Keely blinked, and for a moment she didn't seem to have heard what he said to her. Phil cocked his head as his worry increased ever so slightly, and he nudged her again. "Keely?"
Abruptly, she pulled away and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, staring at her lap as she bit her lip. Disappointed at the loss of warmth, Phil straightened in his chair and turned to Keely, his worry heightening even more. "Keel? What's wrong?"
Keely finally lifted her eyes to his, and he was stunned to see something in them that he had never seen before. He couldn't comprehend it, he couldn't figure out what it was...and before he had a chance to try, she spoke.
"Phil...listen." she said softly, in almost a whisper. For a second her eyes wavered on his, and there was a moment of hesitation before she continued. "I...I can't keep on doing this. This whole...thing." She motioned to everything around her, as if she couldn't fit a description to what she was trying to say.
He didn't understand. What was Keely trying to tell him? Slowly, he reached towards her, trying to comfort her, but to his confusion and dismay she only shrunk further away. "Keely, what's going---"
Suddenly Keely's eyes went wide in alarm as she looked over Phil's shoulder at something he couldn't see. She gasped and immediately turned in her seat, covering her mouth as she tried to warn him. "Ohmigod! Phil, watch out---"
It was already too late. Before he had a chance to turn even the slightest bit, a sharp blow to the head knocked Phil senseless, causing him to lurch forward towards Keely. As vision began to fade, he heard her cry out his name once more as a malicious, almost familiar laugh echoed in his brain.
And then everything went black.
