Mandy Teslow listened to her daughter breaking down on the other line. She was trying hard to make sense of what Keely was saying, but couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"...And mom, he just wants to take me away from you and Phil.." Keely mumbled through tears into the phone. "I just don't know what to do. You can't let him take me..."

"Love muffin, there's no way on this earth I would let your father hurt you, or take you away from me. These are the reasons I divorced your father, he has his own crazy world, and I have mine. I'm sorry he had to suck you into it."

"Mom? When are you coming home, I miss you."

Mandy had been on another business trip the entire week, and Keely had to stay home alone, except for the long stops Phil would make daily, as always, or when she would swap places and stay at Phil's. The Diffy's had gotten Pim to stay away from them two, after finding out the terrible situation Keely was dealing with. She never wanted to hang around them anyways, with their constant flirting, rambling, and drama cases, even though being Phil's younger sister, she was close enough to Keely that she felt almost as bad as the rest of the family.

"You know what? I was going to stay a few hours at the office after we return, but if you need me, I can come straight home without a problem."

Keely smiled "That would be great mom, if it's not a problem. I really want to see you."

"Nugget, I want to see you too. You're practically all I've thought about all week, and it's no problem at all."

"Thanks, I Love you!"

"Love you too sugar plum, see you soon!"

Keely placed the phone into it's cradle softly, and got off her bed, which Phil had taken her up to before he went home the night before, and wiped her eyes with a tissue before walking to Phil's for the day.

Walking the few minutes to the Diffy's was always one of the most peaceful, alone times Keely would ever get. Every time she was headed over there, she felt safe, and some sot of light lit inside her. She always had clear thoughts, and an open mind to all things. And walking alone, she felt the urge to turn back, go into her room, and just cry some more. But before she could decide, Phil was standing in his doorway smiling at her. He could sense her anxiety and confusion, immediatly pulling her into him by instinct.

"Keel, you know I'm here for you right?"

She nodded into his shoulder, sniffling in another round of tears. He ran his fingers into her straight hair. She hadn't done a lot with her appearance since her dad came around. The usual peppy, stylish Keely, was now reduced to a normal sixteen year old teen, just throwing on some jeans and a semi clean t-shirt to avoid more decisions.

"Do you need anything now?"

She looked up at him. Her eyes, once again, glistening with fresh tears.

Even through soft sobs she managed to mumble out "can we go for a walk?"

She thought of all the other walks they had taken together. It always seemed to be the most soothing, way to calm down. She figured it would be the easiest way to be with Phil, without parents, mysterious little sisters, and troubling dads.

"Yeah. Yes of course."

He took her hand ,pulling her to his side. She smiled, causing him to grin back at her, happy to see her radiant smile again, spread across her face widely. Where it's supposed to be.

"Thanks Phil." Keely said, hugging him for what must have been the hundredth time that day. "You're always there for me when I need you most."

"day and night I'm by your side."

Keely giggled. "Yeah. Protecting me."

Phil looked up dazed, "good times."

Keely smiled again. "Hey Phil?" he looked back at her questioningly. "Will you, stay here, with me?" she said motioning towards her front door.

He put his arm around her shoulders, pushing her head sown casually. "Yuuup." he smiled.

The phone rang again. Keely got up from her position, snuggled up to Phil on the couch, to pick it up... again. He sighed. She had this certain charm about her while answering her phone calls. She dropped back down on the couch and pulled her knees up close to her using her free hand. She then moved it down to her stomach, as a slightly angry face crept upon her face.

"No you can't come over."

Phil watched her confused.

"I just don't want to see you. Ever."

He touched her hand comfortingly She looked down at it, then to his face and let out a small smile.

"After what you did to me? No, and Phil didn't deserve the way you've treated him either. I don't know how you could do this, and I'm tired of you calling me. I'm not moving with you–, Phil squeezed her hand, -we're not going to take this from you any more. Do you understand?" he voice rose, ad aggravation piled up inside of her.

She hung up the phone before her father had time to answer.

"I can't take this anymore! I, I just can't deal with him!" she yelled, standing up from the couch, and slapping her forehead. She broke down again, and Phi lstood up grabbing her by the shoulders and forcing her to look at him.

"Keely!"

She focused her eyes on his face, and knew all he wanted was to help her. Then looked down ashamed.

"Keely, I love you."

She looked back up at him surprised.

"I love you too."

"And I want you to know how much I really care about you, and that whatever he does, and whoever helps him do it, I will always be there, not in just Pickford, but there by you. No matter what. Okay?"

she nodded, and threw her arms around him. Breathing in deeply the smell that was Phil, then pulling away.

"I can't believe how perfect you are."

"I'm not-" before he could finish she cut him off.

"No Phil. You're amazing. Almost too amazing."

It was his turn to smile. A classic 'Phil' smile too.

" I can't even reach your amazing,..." she paused for a second." your amazing-ness." " It's like so amazing it's not humanly, amazing-ness. And everything you do seems to be amazing."

Phil's smile grew.

"Keely" "Keely..." He couldn't get her to stop. She kept rambling about his 'amazing... ness, and he thought of the only way to stop her before it just got annoying. Oh yeah, and it worked. It diffidently worked.

Keely felt his lips press firmly against hers, causing her rambling to cease, for a long time. Phil's amazing...ness was the last thing on her mind then. And for the first time in days, she felt completely, and utterly... amazing.

THE END..

Just kidding.
