Losing Hope: Phineas and Isabella Fanfic

Chapter 5 - Comfort

Ferb's POV

Here I am, as the captain of the ship, I drive the ship to some place in the sea. But then I saw Isabella, leaving alone with a life preserver.

I can also see her crying. What happened? I need to at least comfort her as a friend.

"The ship will return to the port for a while because I'll be leaving shortly." I spoke on the ship's microphone before I stopped the ship completely.

Then suddenly, my flip phone rang. I pulled my phone from my pocket and opened the phone to see the caller. It's Phineas.

"Ferb. Why are you returning the-" I heard he said from my phone but I cut him off. I don't have time for this. Maybe he's the reason why Isabella is crying.

"Isabella needs my help." I bluntly spoke.

"What do you m-" I cut him off completely by ending the call for good.

I drove the ship to the port then I stopped it. I left the cruise to find for her. I searched the sand surface but left with nothing. Then I looked at the docks and there I saw her covering her face with her hands, and still crying.

"Isabella!" I shouted because of a far off distance between us. After I catched her attention, I ran towards her.

"Isabella?"

"Hmm?" She finally replied and made eye contact. I can still see her eyes watery even when I saw her wiped it out. But she still looked as beautiful as ever.

"Why are you crying?" I asked. I sat beside her and put my hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"Do you know the feeling of being stabbed in the back?"

"No. But if you tell me what happened maybe I can help you." I said.

"It's Kate. I saw her flirting with Phineas and the worst part is Phineas didn't back away from her." What!? Does he know how I like Isabella and then I let her choose him because that makes her happy? Then all he does is letting her slip from him because of how oblivious he really is.

I'm not mad at my brother but I'm curious that he doesn't see Isabella as charming as I see in her.

"Are you mad at him?" I asked her in return. For myself, I have no right to be mad at my brother. It's actually the opposite but I would like to know if she does now.

"No! I'm not. I'm mad at Kate and at myself." She spoke in a lowered tone.

"Why?" I asked, curioused why she hate herself.

"I'm mad at myself for being an idiot, always chasing at my crush that I know will never feel the way like I do." But she shouldn't be mad at herself. That's just infatuation. She just have to be less gaga around him.

"Can you change the way you feel for him?" I asked, hoping that I still have a chance for her. But I know she can't change the way she feel for him, but still.

"No." She replied, directly. See, that's the power of having a crush. It drives you crazy but if she wants him, not me, it's totally fine.

"Can I help you feel better?" As I thought earlier, still I have to comfort her as a friend.

"No. There's nothing you can do and that's a fact."

"Then I know someone who will." I stood up and said my last words for now.

I know someone who will make her truly happy and that's definitely not me.

It's Phineas.
