"Waiting"

Phil's P.O.V.

         "Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

           Over again, don't make me change my mind

      Or I won't live to see another day, I swear it's true

          Because a girl like you is impossible to find..."

      I looked at her picture that I've stolen from their house, but was now inserted in my wallet and sang the next lyrics "You're impossible to find.". With my headphones plugged in and Secondhand Serenade's "Fall for You" ringing in my ears, I can't help but think about her.

      A few days ago, I asked Blair to come over to a party at Luke's and she agreed to come. Even so, thoughts still occured to me like what if she'll not go to the party. Instead, I would be hurt. So much that the nightingales would go cry with me.

      But I know she'll come. She will. She promised and I know she's true to what she says.

      I was pacing back - and - forth trying to utilize my senses so as my emotions. Finally, I picked up my phone and dialed her number, thinking she'll answer the call and I would remind her about the party... but instead, a voice call answered for her.

      Still, I left her my message, "Tonight's the party at Luke's. Better get ready. I don't want you to miss the fun.".

      Panic and anxiety rushed as quickly as the electric current would be in the circuits without resistors resisting their flow. Why did she not answer my call? Is she still confused? Or perhaps she was just busy doing something or probably having a hard time choosing what to wear. Yes! That's it. She'll soon call me when she's already through.

      On the bed lay the clothes I will be wearing for the party. I prepared this half an hour ago. I'm pretty excited for the upcoming event. I haven't tried this on, maybe because I am so irritated and annoyed with presents from my "father". I was so caught up with him that I stored all his gifts for me in a sealed box, never to be opened. But I can't deny the fact that if there was a time that I would be seen wearing them, it would be to show it to her.

      I sucked in the smooth scent of orange and lime as I finished preparing for tonight's anticipated event. Downstairs, I saw Ally assisting mother for dinner. When their eyes darted towards my direction, I thought theu saw someone other than me cause their faces pictured bewilderment. I stashed my eyebrow higher so as to let them know that I don't get what they're doing. Finally, mom spoke.

      "Wow!, you look… gorgeous.", she said cupping both her hands on her cheeks. This made her look cute and childish.

      "Thank dad.", I replied. She knew what I meant cause she just let out a shrug. After which I bid goodbye just as Ally grabbed hold of my arm and said;

      "Phil, you look so different. So hand–"

      "Hey, hey!, I know. You don't have to tell me.".

      This made her chuckle. Still not letting go of my arm she then uttered words that I could barely hear from her, "I love you, Phil.".

      I smirked at her and realized how great the feeling was to have a sister. You miht have gone tored of babysitting her for the first years of her life, but i  time, you'd see that it was all woth it.

  

      "I love you too, Ally".

      And then I was off hitting the road lights.
