Bring you, everywhere that I go. Bring you, everywhere that I go. Bring you, everywhere that I go. Bring you, everywhere that I go.
It was their last day together. Jewel left the next morning. They spent it cuddling on Phil's bed, just talking about their favorite memories together. Phil spoke about how he loved Jewel's first ever performance in the pub.
For her first performance, Jewel performed a song she wrote called Put Your Hearts Up, which she wrote when she was in middle school.
Phil gasped, "I have a video of it!" He said in excitement, grabbing his laptop from by their feet. Jewel sat up, watching as Phil went back to it.
December 28th, 2011.
Jewel walked on stage, her red hair in a pony tail. Phil turned the camera towards him, and he smiled, "Hey future Phil, this is Jewel performing for the first time!"
"Aw!" Jewel laughed and Phil blushed. "I'm not sure what I was thinking."
"Hello everyone, I'm Juliette Noelle.. I'll be your new performer from now on." She smiled nervously. "I'm gonna sing a song I wrote. I uh.. I hope you like it."
Phil and Jewel watched in silence as they watched her stand there and sing. When she finished, everyone clapped and they watched as Jewel looked at Phil. You could see Phil give her a thumbs up, and she waved before walking off stage.
"Ugh, my red hair days." She giggled.
Phil saw another video, and he clicked on it and accidentally pressed play.
"Hey, you nervous?" Phil's voice boomed through the speakers of the laptop, Jewel showing up on his screen.

"Of course I'm nervous, I finally have a job!" She giggled as she fixed her hair. "Thanks for coming, best friend."
"Anytime! Hey, after this lets go to a café and get really bad late night tea."
"It's a date." Jewel laughed, and Phil joined in.
"Jewel, you're on in three."
"Thanks! I gotta do my warm ups, go find a seat Phil."
Phil turned the camera towards him as he hugged Jewel. "Good luck, I'm gonna save this video so that one day when you become famous I can show people what your first day on the job was like. This I promise you!"
"Get out Phil." Jewel laughed, and the video stopped.
Phil looked at Jewel, who was tearing up. "Oh my god, I love you so much." Was all she could say. Phil actually kept the videos.. He kept his promise.
Phil kissed her cheek. "I love you too."
"Oh my god I wanna take you with me so bad. But I can't." She cried, Phil's heart sinking. This wasn't supposed to be happening.
"Don't cry!" He looked around for something to cheer her up, and he saw lion near his pillow. He grabbed lion, and held it in front of her face, "Lion doesn't like when his queen is sad."
Jewel looked up at Phil, grinning. "Lion's queen is sorry."
"Lion forgives his queen. But, lion requires a kiss." He said, smiling. Jewel shook her head, kissing Phil's nose, and then Lion.
"Lion is happy." Phil giggled, about to kiss Jewel once more when suddenly the door bursted open, the two lovers jumping as Dan walked in, screaming rawr in the infamous wolf mask the two best friends have.
Jewel giggled as Phil put his hand on his chest. "You're the worst person in the world." Phil laughed, and Jewel watched Dan exit the room.
