AUTHORS NOTE: Hey ppls so this is our FIRST book ever so if you hate we won't judge (My friend and I are working on this together) Hope you enjoy our story!
Philip's POV
Here I am again with my best friend, Theo. That's the nickname I gave her, she usually calls me Philly or Pip. Theo has been teaching me how to dance the waltz since her mom taught her. I must say she's a great dancer.
"Hey Theo I'm going to the restroom I'll be back."
"Alright! I'll be waiting!" Theo said smiling at me.
As I was going back to Theo, Mary Jefferson popped out of nowhere.
"Philip come play with me!" She said beaming at me.
"Not now Mary I need to get back to Theo." I said with an attitude.
"If you don't come with me right now I'll hurt Theo!" She crossed her arms and glared at me until I would answer.
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do and I knew I was running out of time. I didn't want Theo to get hurt even if she was older than Mary. We were all around 7 at the time. I was hesitating to go with her but I couldn't let Theo get hurt.
"Fine. I'll go with you..." I sighed and looked over at Theo before Mary dragged me away.
Theo's POV
What's taking Philip so long? It's been 10 minutes already. I started getting concerned and started looking for him.
"Philip! Where are you?" I screamed hoping he would hear it. And after a while, I gave up and headed to my mom. She was talking with Philip's mom, Mrs. Hamilton.
"Mrs. Hamilton."
"Yes dear?" She said smiling at me.
"Have you seen Philip? He went to the restroom but never came back." I sighed afterward.
She exchanged glances with my mom before answering.
"Oh well I'm sure he'll come back! Just you wait." She smiled reassuringly at me.
"Alright then..." I went back to where I was teaching Philip hoping he would come back before I had to leave. Soon enough I saw him across the park with Mary Jefferson. I started rushing toward him.
"Philip! There you are!" I finally reached them.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were gonna come back to me!"
"I uh-" He got cut off by Mary and she stepped in front of him.
"Me and Philip are playing now go off and play somewhere else." She said glaring at me.
I was speechless Philip would never do anything like this. I was heartbroken.
"Oh alright... I'll see you later Pip..." I started walking away and I could feel my tears falling down. I rushed towards my mom as fast as I could.
"Mom lets go home now." I wiped my tears.
"Oh what happened?"
"Nothing it's fine let's just go home dad will be waiting."
"Well alright then." My mom waved goodbye to Mrs. Hamilton before we left.
Philip's POV
When Theo ran off I knew she was heartbroken and I was too but I didn't want her to get hurt by Mary. I had to play with Mary for a while but during that whole time I could only think of Theo. Once her father came I was free and I rushed to my mom who was admiring the sunset.
"Hey mom we can go home now!"
"Pip did you know Theo came to me and her mom crying?" She said softly.
"Oh I uh— I didn't know..." I looked down.
"Pip tell me the truth! She always stays until sunset how come today she didn't?!" I could tell she was angry, she's not usually like this.
"I had to protect her!" I blurted out.
"Protect her?"
"Mary threatened to hurt her I couldn't let that happen! I couldn't..." I started tearing up.
"Oh Philip..." She hugged me and bent down to my level.
"You know you hurt Theo right?"
I nodded.
"But you also did the right thing, you kept her safe. Also keep in mind your father wouldn't like you hanging out with Mary."
"Yeah I know."
We started heading home and all I could think about was Theo. I wanted to hug her and say I'm so sorry.
