A/N: I MADE IT! YEEEEEEESSSSSS! I ACTUALLY MADE ANOTHER CHAPTER! And sooner that I thought, too.
;LKDSKRLSDJL;REKLJTL;KDSFJLKFDMGL;ASDJG;KERHJG;L,MJUGL;AS;DLKFSDL;AK!
Okay, I'm calming down... L;KASDJF;LKASJTR;LKSDJF;LKSDAJFL;KJ!
Yep, I'm calm now.
So I can't beieve I actually made another chapter this quickly. THANK YOU CMCROX11! A song that I liked and the lyrics were okay. Although I didn't understand some of them... 'Crocodile tears'? I'm getting to all of the other songs. Also, I can't believe I have over 700 hits on this story. To me, that's a lot.
This chapter is probably not as good as the others. I haven't written for Phineas and Ferb for months... I'm bound to have slacked on characters and skill... *sigh* Plus this is kind of a dramatic bonding chapter.
cmcrox suggested this song: 'Don't Cry Your Heart Out' by Cody Simpson.
Thanks for all of the reviews and song requests!
DISCLAIMER: FANfiction on IT'S. NOT. MINE. I don't own the song or Doctor Who.
Enjoy this chapter! ASLD;KFJASD;LKFJSAE;LKFJLK;J!

Don't Cry Your Heart Out by Cody Simpson
~Phineas POV~
"Isabella, I-!"
"No, Phineas, just go."
"Please, I don't know what I did, but-"
"Just go."
I stared at her for a few moments. What had I done to make her this angry? What had I done to make her want to toss away our relationship like that. I had backed her up on everything she did. I had backed her up when she had decided to move out of her parents' house to go live with her new boyfriend... Brad. Well, I didn't really back her up. I really just said 'whatever', but, considering the circumstances, I really just wanted to say 'what the heck are you doing! The guy is an idiot! Stay with your parents, do the right thing!' But no; I just had to be dumb enough to say... 'whatever'.
I sighed, "If you need anything, Isabella, just call me." I turned around and reluctantly walked away.
I didn't know what happened to her after that. It had been three years since I had last talked to her. I had asked Ferb about her and he said that she seemed on edge anytime she talked to someone in front of Brad. They were engaged.
Apparently, I hadn't got the notice... Or a wedding invitation.
I looked around the airport for the exit. My family couldn't pick me up. They said that they had to take care of something and I knew it was probably because they hadn't gotten the house ready for me. I chuckled, they always put those kinds of things off. I found a taxi and rode it to Danville which was only 30 mintues away.
When we arrived at my old home I stood at the front for a minute. What would it be like? Would it be the same warm inviting house that was there years before, or a colder appearance? I took in a deep breath and walked up to the door and knocked.
I heard clangs and the sounds of things falling down. The door opened and the figure of my mom appeared, "Phineas!" she leaped forward and hugged me tightly. "I didn't hear you arrive! I don't even have dinner ready. I invited some of your friends, and I wanted you to arrive to everything ready!"
"Mom, it's fine. I'll help you if you want."
"But it's your coming home party." she protested.
"Hey, I wasn't the one who planned it." I grinned and walked into the kitchen with her. Everything was the same, although there were more utensils on the counter tops.
We got into a steady cooking pace. Mom had told me what she was cooking: spaghetti and meatballs, green salad, a fruit salad, and chocolate cake. "I know it's your favorite!"
"I invited Isabella." mom mumbled.
I turned towards her, "You invited... Isabella? You do know that she doesn't even talk to me anymore, right?"
Mom put down the spatula, "Phineas, I'm sure Isabella had a perfectly good reason to push you away. In fact, I'm sure of it. She gladly accepted the invitation. I'm still your mother, and your going to talk to her."
I shrugged and put the plates on the table.
The door bell rang and I walked over to the door and opened it. There was Isabella.
Her black hair was longer than it was when I had last seen her, she was shorter than I was by a few inches, but the most change that I saw were her eyes. They were empty. I didn't see any emotion in them at all. Unlike when we were kids when she always had this spark in her eye that I had always liked to see.
"Isabella," I breathed. "You came."
She looked up and gave me a weak smile, "Yeah, I did. Linda did invite me." she looked past me. "So... can I come in?"
"Oh, oh yeah." I stepped aside and let her in. "You know, I didn't even ask mom to plan this for me. But she did it anyway. You know, she's my mom. What're you gonna do?"
Isabella laughed. "A mom with a plan is not one who should be stopped."
"I haven't heard from you in a while." I commented.
She looked down to her boots, "Yeah," she whispered. "It's been a long time."
"Three years."
"Yep... three years."
I slowly walked over to her. "Why did you decide to stop talking to me? What did I do wrong?"
Isabella looked up at me, "I- you didn't do anything wrong. It's just- I," she bit her lower lip. "I had to stop talking to you. When I came back to Danville for that visit without Brad I- I saw you and I was angry. You were standing there with that goofy smile you always have and you gave me a hug, and when I looked at you up close I couldn't help but be angry. I had had a crush on you for years, and then I met Brad and, well, I just thought he was the person to settle with. I obviously wasn't going to get you. You were oblivious to all of my hints, so I just gave up and got together with Brad. He was willing to be with me so I went with it. When he asked me to move in with him I was caught totally surprised; I didn't know what to say. So I said yes, which wasn't the best decision I could have made. When Brad found out that I used to have a crush on you he told me that I couldn't see you anymore."
I stood still, shocked. Brad told her she couldn't see me anymore? He was more of I jerk than I thought.
"When I told him no he said that if I didn't he would kick me out of the house, and you know my mom told me I couldn't come back. I was afraid of him, but I needed a place to stay so I agreed. I cut off all of the ways of communicating with you." Isabella put her hand over her mouth and tried to stop the soft sob that came out of her mouth.
"Isabella..." I wrapped my arms around her and she leaned into my touch. She tucked her head into my chest and I felt her soft hair on my chin, "Why didn't you tell me? I would have let you stay with me." I breathed in her scent. She smelled like strawberries and fresh grass. "You're my best friend, and, sometimes, I feel like we could be even more than that, I would help you no matter what. You don't need to be afraid of anything or anyone." I felt Isabella nod. "But... what about the wedding? What happened to Brad? Are you still with him?"
Isabella took an intake of breath. "We didn't go through with the wedding. He's somewhere out in Europe right now; I think he's trying to become an actor or something. Either that or he believes he'll meet Doctor Who... even though he's a fictional character."
"Do you, um... need a place to stay?"
She pulled away from me and cocked her head to the side. "You don't even live here. What are you going to do, take me back to where you live?"
"Wow, you must tell the future."
She laughed and nudged my shoulder. "Creeper!"
"No, that's Irving. We're not allowed to switch personalities."
"Phineas! Isabella! Dinner's ready!"
I wrapped my arms around her shoulders. "Come on, let's go and eat. We'll talk about my place later."
Isabella smiled a real smile and I realized that, just maybe, we might have a future together.
A/N: Yes, a Doctor Who reference! It's my favorite LIVE TV show ever! It's on BBC, (British Broadcasting Company) or on BBC America, and it's so cool. For people who like action scenes or aliens you'll definitely like this show. The aliens look really cool and it's just an awesome show in general. Do any of you watch Doctor Who or even know what it's about? Or am I alone in the universe?
I would have had this up later, but my WiFi screwed up... again. -_-
I'm just happy I got another chapter out, even though it is DEFINITELY not my best work. To me it's my least favorite chapter *shrug* whatever. It's still something. This song was kind of hard to write for, especially since the last three or four chapters have been so depressing! I mean, I have a bunch of other things that I have written and most of them are Angst or Hurt/Comfort, so I really shouldn't be surprised that I keep writing these, but I am! I'm just hoping I can find a happy song... *HINT HINT*
On to the Beatles!
Like it? Love it? Hate it because... it is what it is? Tell me what you think: review!
