I do not want to keep you waiting any longer. It's finally Friday! Yay! So I have time to update. Well until like 8 then I have to babysit... but ill try to get on there.

Disclaimer- don't own potf

Keely entered her house to find her father and mother arguing in the living room.

Mandy- they've been best friends for three years.

Jackson- I don't like him

Mandy- YOU DON"T KNOW HIM!

Keely cleared her throat.

Mandy- oh hello nugget.

Keely- uh. Hi.

Mandy- we were just-

Keely- talking about Phil right?

Mandy nodded, then shot a slightly mean glance at her ex husband.

Jackson- I saw you with him today. Even after I told you not to, you still went there. And you lied to me about going to 'vias'. You are grounded young lady!

Keely- what?

Mandy- what?

Jackson- you heard me.

Keely- you do NOT have the right to ground me. You abandoned me, and are trying to punish me for doing nothing wrong?

Mandy- what she said. Jackson, Phil is the sweetest, friendliest, amazing, and perfect person for Keely.

Jackson- I don't trust him

Mandy- do I have to repeat myself over and over until it sinks into your thick, stuborn head? YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM JACKSON!

Keely- mom! Thanks, but I think I need to talk to dad alone now.

Mandy- oh, okay biscuit, just call me if he keeps acting like a jerk!

Keely was so agrivated, she wasn't afraid to express her feelings and get mad at her dad.

Keely- dad! I didn't break any rules. Mom loves Phil , and has always let me see him. I don't see how you can think something is, wrong, He's the perfect guy! If you're banning me from him, you might as well try to ban me from rainbows and butterflies. Or ground me from the world!

Jackson- I am grounding you from the world, for disobeying me.

Keely- okay, I thought you might of thought of this on your own, but I guess not. You left me! I never needed you before, because I never knew you. You can't just show up one day out of nowhere and try to take over my life and be 'the father' after never being here for me before. I have a life, and I'm sorry, but if you're trying to ruin it for me, I don't think there's even a place for you. Mom has taken perfect care of me all my life, and Phil Is another huge part of my life. I need him there more than you, and you need to just except that, or go back to your normal life. Either way is okay with me.

She started to walk away from him.

Jackson- keely...

She ran up to her room before he could speak, leaving him confused, and hurt.

THE NEXT MORNING

Keely got out of bed, and dressed just like any other Sunday morning. She headed downstairs and stopped in fron of a tall man waiting by the kitchen for her.

Jackson- good morning Keely.

Keely- oh. You.

Jackson- look, I just wanted to come by and talk with you for a while. Since I dond;t get much of a chance last night.

Keely- Well I don't feel like talking, so, sorry.

She grabbed a pop tart and ran back up the stairs to get ready.

Jackson sat down at the breakfast bar, with his head in his hands. He sighed and got up to leave, when Mandy came down.

Jackson- don't worry, I was just leaving.

Mandy- wait a second.

Jackson- huh?

Mandy- We need to go over a few things... about Keely. Why don't you stay for a cup of coffee?

Jackson- um. Okay.

Mandy and Jackson sat back down at the breakfast bar. Mandy poured them both a cup of coffee and began the conversation.

Mandy- you see, Phil and Keely have been inseperable since they met. There's some sort od amazing connection between them that you cannot separate. Those two are, oh how do I put this, meant to be. And like we've been saying, you, especially you, can't just try to barge into her life nad try to change it. Especially trying to pull them apart. No one can do that. No on has the right to do that.

Jackson- I think I get it. You have both been telling me that over and over. I just think she is too young to be having a serious relationship. Too yong to actually love somebody, like that. And so is he. What if he hurts her?

Mandy- maybe you should get to know Phil better. H e would do anything in the world for Keely. And they are not too young, just lucky. Lucky to have met each other at such an early age.

Jackson- Well then, let's arrange a dinner with him again, you know, to see if what you're aying it right.

Mandy- well, of course it's right! But you do need to see it for yourself. I gaurantee you'll be amazed. I'll call Barb and try to see if they can come over tonught.

Jackson- sounds good.

Mandy- alright. I'll call you later. You best be trying to get ready to give them a better first impression of you.

Jackson- by mandy.

Mandy- later.

And with that, He left the Teslow house.

I'm going to stop there for now. R & R. And thank you!
