Uncertainty | Phan (Story One)

Nine

hey!

just in case anyone is confused here's what rebound means....

A rebound relationship is simply an attempt to fill a hole in your life that was left by an ex. It's an attempt to avoid the pain of the breakup, to feel the same way you were feeling while you were in a relationship with your ex.

As I scrolled tumblr in my warm sofa crease, Phil picked up around the house. Just small things like the popcorn bowl and remotes to consoles. 

"Hey I need to run out and pick a couple things up from the shop like milk maybe a couple early Christmas gifts." Phil set a dusting rag down. 

"When do you think you'll be back?" I asked, not looking up. 

"An hour probably." He shrugs not moving just watching me. 

I finally glance up to see what he wants but he wasn't watching me like I thought. He was on his phone texting with a plain face. 

"So..?" I shake my head lightly. He clears his throat and goes to get ready. 

I don't know what I plan on doing really. We weren't already doing anything today so now I'll just be bored and alone. 

He came back out in a rather fancy shirt, dress but short sleeved with dots on it. I felt my heart sting for a second once I saw him. Yeah sure he's going to get milk. 

"I'll be back." He smiled at me and grabbed his wallet making sure he had his phone as well. 

I knew that last night meant nothing to him. In fact he probably regretted it. He loved Liz... no matter how much he tried to deny it he really did. I was the rebound. 

Sitting back into my sofa crease, I put on an episode of whatever and wrapped myself in my blanket. I didn't watch it... it was more of a background noise to keep my mind at ease. 

My foot shook as I sat there. Only five minutes and I was freaking out. He seemed like he was going to meet Liz again. 

What if they got back together? 

Phil would really move out and I would be left alone. All the feelings I have for him means nothing. 

Someone on tumblr had made cupcakes with cat whiskers on them which instantly brought a smile to my face. 

The world of Dan and Phil. A life that people can go to to feel happy. Somewhere they can be distracted from their problems. 

"I want cupcakes." I mumbled to myself and got up. Luckily there was enough milk left to make some so I decided to just do it. 

Instead of the crappy show playing, I put on some really loud music to distract my mind and sang along as I mixed all of the ingredients. 

I didn't know how to design any of it but I made the icing with all kinds of colors to do as my mind wants. 

My feet swung from the counter while I waited for the cupcakes to finish baking. The music was still playing loud throughout the house but I didn't care. I just hoped our neighbors didn't either. 

'what are interesting things to decorate on a cupcake?' I tweeted just as the bell dinged saying they had finished baking. 

A hot air balloon, Mario mushrooms, minions, Shrek and ladybugs were some of the things that caught my eye.

I did my best in trying to make them all pretty. I even decided to draw a lil popcorn pile in icing for Phil when he gets back. 

This was the best work I've ever done and it's because I took a lot... a lot... of time. I quickly took a picture then went to turn the music down but as soon as I left the kitchen I heard the front door open.
