This is a moment in time you'll never see here, but in the further where its unclear.
Something flew past her like lighting. All Phineas could hear was the ringing in his ears, but Isabella's loud cries sang out in the night. "Phineas! No!"
10 years later...
A peppy little girl named Charlotte ran down the stairs to her mother. A couple of good mornings before breakfast, and then some waffles from the toaster. The two ladies were on their own, Isabella had to be a single mother rising her daughter.
"Mom, why won't you tell me?" Her mom looked at her blankly. "You said when I turned 10 you would." "That was when I thought I'd be ready in 5 years." Charlotte frown at her mom. "You never tell me."
"I'm never ready..." As she said this, Isabella gazed off into space while tears formed in her eyes. Charlotte hugged hear mother until she said. "Uncle Ferb will be over soon to pick you up. Do you have everything?" "Yes mom, I have everything. I'm only staying for two days."
Her mother smiled widely when she said this,"I think that's him, you be good now." "OK, bye!" Isabella waved good bye and went back inside the house.
Oh Phineas, I'll never be ready to tell her. It's been ten years but I'm still trying to shake it off. I really do miss you. I wish I could build that stuff you do so I could change it. I wish I could build a better future for our daughter.
At Uncle Ferb's house
"Hey Charlotte!" That was my uncle Ferb. He was my dad's brother. If my mother wouldn't tell about my dad maybe he would. "Hey Nessa! Charlotte is here!" He smiled, my uncle almost never smiled. He seemed to smile more since he had a son. Maybe children made my family happy.
My uncle told me lots of stories about when he was a kid. How his brother would build big things. Things that made the summer fun. He never talked about college or anything after that. It seemed to be the time of tragedy.
"Why won't anyone tell me about that time?" His smile faded, as he opened his mouth to speak. "No talks about that because of all that dark things that happened to our family. Things I blame on myself."
I sensed a strong emotion of fear in his eyes. "I never told your parents how much of this story I knew." He told of a time where he died and left Phineas in a world of full of darkness. How much he knew of that.
Isabella and Phineas were never told that he knew everything that was going on. He played dumb for the sake of time. And all he did to start it.
"But that doesn't explain why he's not here." She looked at me with her sad eyes. I couldn't tell her yet. She wasn't ready, at least that's was Issy said. But then again it was Issy that wasn't ready now.
I started my story with my eyes looking down. All of this was my fault. And now I had to, confess to my niece. This was not as planned. But maybe, if she knew the story she could fix it.
