Theo's POV

I was in class thinking about what happened between Philip and I..

It was so long ago when we were once in love. When Philips father passed away, my father never mention Philip or Alexander and never let me see Philip.

It's like he wanted me forget him. Only Philip remembered me...

I wasn't paying any attention to what Mr. Madison was saying. I thought of Philip and Alexander and My father and...ugh--

I heard Alexander was a good guy. So was Elizabeth. Alexander was always up to anything and was a bit of a loud mouth. Eliza fought for slavery, and raised funds in DC. And she made the first private orphanage.

I smiled. Philips parents were amazing, why would my father wanna kill such a good man?

I went home saw my father sitting on the table with Hercules, Lafayette and Eliza.

"Theo! Your home," My father said.

The rest of everyone smiled at me and said hi. Eliza got up and hugged me.

"Hello dear, my son Phillip is here! Aaron and I decided to forgive each other for the loss of my husband. He told me you guys met,"

I froze. I went upstairs into my room to avoid Philip but unfortunately he was sitting on my bed writing something in a tiny notebook.

"Philip what are you doing here?" I said sitting on my bed next to him.

He sat down his notebook and looked me cold in the eyes. I felt intimidated. He looked me up and down and still didn't say anything.

"Look," he finally said. "Are parents are finally setting aside their differences. I guess we do too."

Wait--did this mean we were gonna be friends?

"But this does not mean we are friends.."

Philips POV

I saw her smile die down and kinda felt sad. I always loved her smile. But I wasn't gonna give in to her that easily.

She ran out the room and slammed the door behind her.

I sighed and went back to writing my poetry. Then I noticed a little toy on her desk.

Flash back

"Philly! I'm gonna use this microphone and someone how magically connect to the universe and then I'll be able to talk to my dead family!"

Philip rolled his eyes. "That is impossible Theo."

Theo grabbed the microphone and ran into the back yard.

"Nothing is impossible unless you believe it's possible." She said.

Alexander chuckled. "Philip you can learn a lot from Theo."

Theo smiled and hugged Philip.

Laurens and Alex were barbecuing while Herc and Lafayette were gathering plates for the afternoon bbq.

Angelica and Eliza were helping Peggy color.

Theo held onto Philip and whispered into his ear,

"I'll love you forever Philly!"

I felt tears stream down his cheeks. She said foreverr but I ruined it...

I started writing my peom again.

Dear Theodosia,

How to say to you
I made your world blue
Is it something I can't undo?

I wish I hadn't been a jerk
I wish that our relationship worked
I love you like you loved me on the fire works

I miss you
Will you miss me
I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?

Your Philly~

I closed my notebook and went to find Theo. Before I left the room I grabbed the little microphone sitting on her desk and ran out the door.

I guessed she would be in the back yard, just like she always was.

She was sitting beside a tree with her head burried in her arms. I sat next to her and didn't say anything. I don't think she knew I was there.

"Theo," I said.

She turned her head over to look at me.

"What do you want?.."

I sat the little microphone next to her and smiled.

"Remember this?"

She chuckled and little bit. "Y-yeah.."

I got up. "Let's try to connect to the universe!"

She laughed. "But you said it was impossible,"

"Its not impossible unless you believe it's possible," I quoted.

She giggled and she got up. "How are we gonna go that anyways?"

"We'll just do it for fun. After all it's still impossible," 

She rolled her eyes.

Theo's POV

I can't believe this doofus. After he yelled at me he hated me and never wanted anything to do with me, now he was all the sudden confiding in me?

Maybe he felt pity for me. Maybe he didn't actually like me...

We played around and tried ridiculous things to somehow magically connect this plastic microphone to the universe.

We laughed and I scraped my knee here and there.

Soon we went back upstairs to my room. Our parents were downstairs drunk.

I grabbed my computer off my desk and decided we were gonna watch, 'Annie.'

I cuddled up close to him, to the point where we were accidentally spooning. He wrapped his arms around me, and we watched the movie.

--

Soon Philip had to drive his drunk mom, Herc, and Laffyette home. We said our goodbyes. We gave hugs and kisses. And he left.

I went upstairs to my room to noticed a tiny notebook that said, 'Phillips poems.'

He must've left it here. I was tempted to read it. But shouldn't. But I am!

I flipped through the pages slowly reading each and every word. The poems were beautiful.

But then I came across a page that said the same date as today. I began reading. The poem...

Was about me? I read what it said:

Dear Theodosia,

How to say to you
I made your world blue
Is it something I can't undo?

I wish I hadn't been a jerk
I wish that our relationship worked
I love you like you loved me on the fire works

I miss you
Will you miss me
I will fight for you
Would you fight for me?

Your Philly~

Oh my god...He still loved me but secretly hated me...why would he do this?! Lie to me!

Tears flooded my eyes and my tears dripped on the pages. I set it down and cried myself to sleep...
