In which Phil and Jewel prepare for the inevitable
THIS SHORT STORY IS BASED OFF THE SONG "Suitcase" BY Before You Exit, IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE SONG I HIGLY SUGGEST LISTENING T...
Phil was helping Jewel pack up a few things today. He was packing up her dresses which he knew she wouldn't need.
He grabbed a jacket, folding it but stopping when a photo fell out from it. He picked it and smiled, "Ah, the high school days." He showed it to her, and she grinned.
"Man.. I remember that day. That was the day you and I snuck into the art classroom and I put glitter in my hair."

Phil chuckled. "Yeah, I remember that too. You were always so cute. Your childlike ways were great." He laughed, and she blushed.
"Remember when you scared me and all I did was put my face on the desk as if that'd help?" She smiled at the thought as Phil put the jacket away.

Phil laughed, "The good old days." He looked over at her, watching her pack away some picture frames.
"I'm.. Really gonna miss you." Phil said, and she turned and looked at him. "I remember when you moved here to London for college. I thought I was never gonna see you again.. And now you're gonna be halfway across the world."
Jewel place down her picture frame, walking over to him, "Phil, I'm not leaving you, okay? Even if we're apart in distance, we're still together in heart." She cupped his face in her hands, and he stared down at her.
Phil's eyes watered at the thought of her leaving him again. "Don't leave me, not again." He whispered, feeling his heart sink.
Jewel frowned at him, and he sniffled. "Who's gonna be my 'SuperCat' for Halloween?"

"Who else is gonna show up at my door in the middle of the night, on the same day each year, in the same position you did when you told me you fancied me in sophomore year?"

"Who else am I gonna be able to tell I love them at the most random times?"
Jewel didn't even realize she was crying until Phil wiped away her tear. "Dan?" She asked, and the two of them chuckled.
"I love you, and I don't think I can handle it if you leave me again." He pulled her into a tight embrace, and she buried her face in his chest.
