{32}- The one where Brendon's ship almost came true

I don't even know if this is right for me. Am I happy? Yes.

But I am still confused about staying here, it now going to be over an year that I have left to live life on my own. Really good decision, Phoenix.

"Sorry, Breezy." I say.

"I get it. It's your job and stuff." She gives a weak smile.

"Did you get the flowers?" I ask.

"Yes, they were beautiful. Thanks Phoenix." She smiles. She smiles a lot.

"Happy birthday, once again." I say and she hands the phone to Dallon, "Hey dad."

"Hi." He simply replies. I could clearly notice that he was not happy, "Phe, you had promised."

"I know Dad. I am sorry." I say, and suddenly Tom calls out my name from behind.

"Phoenix! The shoot's gonna start." He yells.

"Coming!" I yell back, "Dad, I am really sorry. Got to go." I say.

"Bye." He says and hangs up. I have never seen him so sad, at least not like this. I don't like it at all.

I sigh and get up. I want to go back, to Amelie, to Knox; the boy barely knows me. I want to go back to Zero, I miss him the most. He was with me the entire time whether I was on the wheelchair or was on my feet.

"Please tell me, the models are not shitty, like the last time."I say, setting up my camera.

"Nope, not this time. I hope." Brittany says.

----

Am I the only one who hates it when you wake up, just because your phone is ringing?

"Timezones, Kate. Timezones!" I say.

"Phoenix, it's important." She says, and I rub my eyes. I see Kate and another person, I could not see very clearly. "I am dating somebody."

"How is that serious?" I yawn and she turns the camera, it was Chloe. "Oh dear God!"

That escalated quickly.

"Your kitty cat Kate is bisexual." She smiles, weakly.

WHAT?

"Kate, I am happy for you. This is amazing." I smile, uncontrollably.

"Really?"

"Yeah. We both can make Levi jealous now." I say.

"He knows." Kate says.

"Is this what he was talking about the other day?" I ask and she nods, "So, you never learnt cooking, did you?"

"Nope. Levi still cooks for me." She laughs, "Sometimes, I feel that it's good that he is your boyfriend. So, he works for me."

"About time, somebody made Levi their servant." I say, flatly, "But Levi used to do work for you even when we used to kids."

"Yeah." 

"Kate, let me ask you something." I say.

"Shoot at me." 

"Did you. You know, like me in high school? You know all the jokes about you being my bride, were they true?" I ask.

"No. I never felt it that way with you. At first, I felt a little, but then you were like my sister. Totally like a sister, so I never crossed my line." Kate smiles, and tugs on Chloe's hand. They are so cute.

"So, at any chance was Brendon's ship true?" I ask.

"Brendon's ship?" Chloe chuckles a bit.

"Yeah, Brendon came up with the name, 'Phate', as a shipping name for Phoenix and me." Kate explains.

"He spent a lot of time on it." I say, "He has no work, does he?"

"Hey, he lets you play his guitar." Kate points out.

"Yeah, that he does. Niece privileges." I flip my hair, "But seriously, was 'Phate' by any chance real?"

"No, Phoenix. You are like my sister, and I never felt it for you." She says.

"I am hurt, by the fact that I am not the person, who made you bisexual." I say, making Chloe laugh.

"I am sorry, but she is the one." Kate smiles and looks at Chloe.

"Stop it. I am gonna cry, this is too cute." I whine, "Oh, another question."

"What?"

"Was it the two of you that made Levi terrified, that day?" I ask.

"Yeah. I am not exactly proud of it." Chloe shakes her head.

"Why are you not proud of it?" Kate turns towards her.

"We scarred his brain forever." Chloe says.

"Point." 

"About time that someone terrified my boyfriend." I sigh.
