Kills me how, you love me then you cut me down, I'll do the same..

Considering that Phil is too adorable to be taken seriously while angry, Jewel couldn't help the urge to giggle when Phil yelled at her. But when it was her turn to be angry, Phil was sternly glaring at her, which only made her smile when she was trying to be serious. This always agitated Phil whenever the two were in an argument, but for once, Jewel wasn't laughing.

And that scared Phil, "Why aren't you laughing? Like usual?" He questioned her, making her roll her eyes.

She stomped her foot, "If you were in my position, would you be laughing? Seriously Phil, we're not even official and you're already cheating on me! And with Dan's girlfriend? Wow, way to wreck two relationships and a friendship." She scoffed, Phil huffing.

"Aleysa just needed a hug-"

"Well she can get it from someone off the streets! So why don't you keep your hands off other girls-"

"You can't tell me what to do!"

"Oh I'm sorry, are you getting agitated with me? Welcome the fucking club Phil!" She pointed her finger at him, and he shook his head, "You're getting upset with me for no reason."

Her mouth fell agape, "Are you kidding me? Are you actually kidding me?"

Phil huffed, "No, I'm not, you need to let this go, all we do is fight!"

She stomped up to Phil, "Well maybe we wouldn't be arguing all the time if you just stopped being such a damn terrible boyfriend!"

Phil laughed, "Well then good thing I'm not your boyfriend, right?"

She scowled at Phil, "Go to Hell."

"See you there sweetheart."

"You know what, fine! Fine! I give up, if you don't like me anymore, then just tell me, and I'll leave you alone!"

Phil's eyes widened as Jewel's watered, "Who told you that?" He placed his hands on her upper arms, studying her face as she looked down at the ground. Phil couldn't wrap his head around it, why he was so intrigued by his childhood friend, but for some reason she made his heart skip. He wasn't quit sure if it was because she was there when nobody else was, or if he just loved the fact that she was such a happy go luck person like he was. Either way, he knew he liked Jewel, she was pretty much the Aleysa to his Dan.

That would've been much more romantic if the two didn't just break up.

Instead of saying anything to one another, Jewel and Phil stood in silence, waiting for the other to say something. Anything. When nothing was said, Jewel kissed Phil's cheek, then turned and walked out without another word.
