"I only have one shot…" Mary said as she triple checked her outfit, hair and make-up. She walked towards Phil's door and stuck a hand out. She knocked three times and stood back for the door to open. Inside Phil was upstairs in his room waiting for the phone to ring. He heard three knocks on the front door and rushed down to see who it was. He immediately thought it was Keely so he rushed down the stairs towards the door. He stopped to look at himself in the mirror to make sure he look good. He heard three more knocked and went to open the door.
"Hey Ke… why are you at my house?" Phil said when he say they brunette cashier from the mall at the door. That's the girl that was looking at my butt… Mary! Phil thought.
Uh… Hi I'm..." Mary began
"Mary, you were dancing by me and Keely." Phil said sounding annoyed.
"Yea… That's me. I want to talk to you… can I come in?" Mary asked Phil but entering and having a seat before he could say no.
"I really want to talk to you. I think that you and Keely aren't right for each other… I mean you two are so different… She's talkative and uptight while you are more chilled and mellow… kinda like me. How long have you two know each other?"
"Three years." Phil said clenching his hands together to control the anger beginning to form in his body.
"Wow. How did two opposites pout up with each other for that long?" Mary said sounding deeply interested.
"Because we love each other." Phil said beginning to loose his control.
"Oh I see… but Phil… I'm new… fresh. You can't really choose Keely over me?" Mary said in an innocent tone.
"Yes, I could. In fact I would choose her all over again." Phil was really getting mad now.
"Well maybe I have to prove that I'm worth it." Mary said walking over to Phil and sitting on his lap grabbing his hands and kissing him. Phil's eyes remanded open as he tried to shove Mary off. For a girl of her size she was strong. Phil managed to loosen the grip of one of his hands and pushed her away. The phone rang and Phil and Mary looked at the caller ID. Keely.
"I'll get it!" Mary said hopping off his lap and running to get the phone before Phil.
"Hello?" Mary said.
"Um… hi. Is Phil there?"
"Sorry Barbie he's with me now. He doesn't need you anymore."
"NOOO!" Phil yelled but Mary had already hung up. He stumbled back and fell on the couch. Putting his head in his hands. Mary sat beside him and rubbed his back.
"Get away from me. You just took the one person that mattered the most to me away." Phil began to sob.
"I can be just as great as her Phil. Why don't you get that? I'm so much better than the airhead blonde you're so head over heel in love with." Mary said.
'Because you're not Keely. Now get away and get out." Phil lifted her up and dragged her out the do towards her car. He finally released his grip and headed for his.
"Phil you're making a HUGE mistake! What would make you love me more than her?" Mary yelled.
"There's nothing you could EVER do to make me forget what you did. Stay away from Keely and me. Got it?" Phil said. His voice was shaky and tears were still flowing out of his eyes and down his cheeks but he was too upset to worry about them now. He clicked the button on his car key and unlocked the car. He grabbed the handle ripped the door open and slammed it shut. He shoved the keys into the ignition and drove to Keely.
Keely stood in her bedroom crying. She finally let the phone as well as herself drop to the ground. She couldn't believe it. Mary had answered the phone and told her that Phil was in love with her now. I didn't make any sense, not even an hour ago he told her he loved her. She looked up when she head something in her tree. She figured it was just an owl or a raccoon. She felt a cold breeze come in her room and looked up. There was Phil, standing above her with a tear-streaked face. He knelt down beside her and touched her arm. Keely shifted away. He's probably upset because he had to drive all the way over here because Mary is making him say good-bye to me. Keely thought.
"Keely, It's not true." Phil said. She didn't know if she believed him.
"If you don't like her how does she know were you live? How did she get in your house how could she say that to me?" Keely said. Tears fell faster and she looked away. Phil reached out to wipe her tears away but she pushed his hand aside.
"She liked me and not you… she said she didn't know how I put up with you for three years...she said she was better than you but what could be better? You're beautiful and smart and you never have live a dull moment. Even when you are unconscious. Keely I love you and you know that. I can't stand Mary! Please believe me!" Phil begged her. She didn't say anything. She couldn't. She was in his house… she could have been kissing him! How do I know he's not lying? Keely'shead began to pound. She stayed in the same position. Looking down at the ground and watching the tears fall onto her carpet. Phil stood up and walked to the window. He climbed up and onto the roof, down the tree and into his car. He drove home but just as he thought he'd found a place were he could just let everything out he saw Mary, and another girl.
'Yea… he drove away to say sorry to her. He didn't want Keely to be mad at him." Mary said to the girl
"Wow that's so awesome!" The girl said. Phil heard and parked his car and walked up to her.
"Oh hey Phil!" Mary said pulling him into a hug.
"Get off of me you tramp." Phil said looking straight at her.
"Don't talk to my sister like that!" Ashley said. Especially now that you're dating!" Phil's expression changed from despise to pure anger.
"She isn't my girlfriend. Keely is. Get away form me and my house." Phil said to the girls. He walked away and slammed the front door and headed to his room.
