Here's the next chapter guys. In this chapter you'll find out a little secret Owen and Seth have been keeping. I wonder what it is….oh wait, I already know. It's up to you guys to find out isn't it? Aww. Lol Well here it is. I love the dialogue in this. Makes "them" sound like 2 full grown adults. Hope you enjoy.

The tension in the room was thick. You could've cut it with a knife. Owen sat across from Phil at the dining room table, both not saying a word. A siren wailed in the distance and a cat meowed. A helicopter hovered above and cars drove by on the street.

Phil and Owen hadn't spoken in years. An incident had occurred in senior year. An incident that would ultimately put a strain on their relationship. Before prom, Owen had come out. He had proclaimed to everyone that he was gay. Everyone was completely taken aback due to the fact that he used to come on to every girl he met. The more surprising thing was that he had been going out with Via at the time. After he had come out, she had left the school. No one had heard from her since.

At first Phil didn't mind that Owen was gay. He had a few gay friends and he figured one more wouldn't hurt. But at the after party of the prom, Owen had tried to make a move on Phil. He also revealed to Phil that he had a crush on him ever since he met him and that he thought that Phil was gay too. Phil freaked out and distanced himself from Owen after High School. And that was the end of it. They hadn't spoken ever since.

When he found out that Seth was gay too and that they were living together in his mother's old house, Phil wasn't surprised. He and Keely were invited to the housewarming party. Keely had gone, he hadn't.

Now in the same room after 3 years, they both found it difficult to even look at each other. Phil had a half cup of coffee in front of him and Owen had a can of beer. He took a sip of it and stared at Phil. He couldn't help but notice the huge change that had taken place in him from the last time he saw him. He had grown his hair out so it stopped a little bit past his shoulders, he hadn't shaved in a while, he could tell. His eyes seemed restless and he looked nervous. It was a huge change from the always smiling, perfectly shaven, short haired, relaxed and easygoing Phil he had known in High School.

Him and Keely were voted cutest couple in junior year. They had stayed so strong even after Phil had battled with his eating disorder. 'The Golden Couple', they were called. So, what happened? Why had Keely gone insane? Phil had told him a little bit of what had happened but he didn't really get it. The one question that still stayed in his mind was, Why was she obsessed with killing Phil? He intended to find out.

Owen spoke first, calmly. "So, Phil, You never did explain to me what had happened before I got here. Would you care to explain now?"

Phil finally looked up at him. "Well, I could tell you. But you wouldn't believe me." He replied just as calmly and drank his coffee. He cleared his throat.

"Ok then. That's completely understandable. Can I ask one more question though?" Owen said softly.

Phil just looked at him.

"What the hell am I going to tell anyone who inquires about my window?" he asked, getting up and going to the broken window. He picked up a glass shard and waved it in front of Phil's face. "Hmm? What should I tell them? That a blonde woman I used to know back in High School jumped through it because she was mad at her boyfriend? What, Phil? WHAT AM I GONNA SAY?!" Owen screamed the last part and threw the glass piece to the ground, breaking it even more.

"Calm down Owen." Phil said.

"Phil, I'm not gonna calm down. But you know what I'm gonna do? I'm taking my ass straight to the Sherriff's Department and I'm reporting this!" Owen said and reached for his car keys.

At that point Phil jumped up and out of his chair and grabbed the keys. Owen glared at him.

"Give me the keys Phil." He said.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Owen."

"Dude, what is your problem? Seriously. Look what she did to the house! It's thrashed! And you don't want me to go to the cops. Why?" Owen said.

"Because if we go to the cops then we won't have a chance of helping Keely. Owen please, listen to me. Keely has not been acting like herself lately." Phil said.

"Oh? Really? I hadn't noticed." Owen said sarcastically.

"I don't know what it is but it's like she's been completely taken over by a much stronger force. And it's not something the cops can fix." Phil said ignoring Owen's sarcastic comment. "And I'm afraid if we don't help her soon, she might be stuck like that. I can't let that happen. I just can't."

Owen ran his hand through his hair in frustration and held it. He did not need this right now. He did a pivot and walked towards the broken window. He examined it and sighed heavily. Finally he turned back to Phil and said calmly, "Phil, if the cops can't do anything to help like you said, then what makes you think we can?"

Without hesitation Phil said, "Because it's not a physical thing. It's emotional." He walked towards Owen and faced him. "IF we call the cops they will most definitely hurt her if she refuses arrest. Which I know she will. She doesn't need all that right now. What she needs is emotional help. I know that the Keely we know is somewhere in there and all we have to do is bring her back out."

Owen was silent for a bit, contemplating what Phil said. Finally he said, "You're right. But is there a way we can keep her from breaking any more things?" He smirked.

Phil chuckled and said, "One step at a time O-dog."

"Well step one; help me clean up this mess." Owen said and motioned to the glass that was scattered across the living room floor.

Phil nodded and went towards the kitchen to grab a broom. Suddenly he heard Owen yell out in pain. He rushed back into the living room and was met with a gun pointed at his temple. Owen had been knocked down to the floor and a tall man had a gun pointed at the back of his head.

Phil looked up to see whose gun was at his head and he almost choked on his saliva.

"Hi Phil. How goes it?" Darius said with a Cheshire grin on his face.

There it is. Not my best, probably but whatever. I liked it. Hope you guys did too! Mucho love. Next chapter coming soon. Thanks to those who reviewed!
