I'll Be There, Siempre ~ Lippa

Prologue

*DISCLAIMER BEFORE READING: We absolutely LOVE Lin and Vanessa together and Steven and Pippa together, and this is in NO way trying to ruin their relationships. This is simply a fanfic, and it's not real. Thank you, and enjoy!*

2007, Libertyville High School

Phillipa and Lin were very close in high school, and they always studied together, and hung out with each other in their free time. One day, Phillipa anxiously grabbed her laptop and scrolled through her email to try and find her results. She opened the message.

"Congrats! Welcome to Juilliard!"

Phillipa gasped in excitement. 'I have to tell Lin!' She thought. Phillipa excitedly grabbed her laptop and yanked it on her bed. She clicked the facetime button.

''Hey Pippa.'', Lin said with a tint of sadness.

''LIN oh my GOD, LIN!'', She said nervously but jumpyly.

''What? It's nice to see you too by the way.'', He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

''Sorry! It's great to see you too.'', She giggled a bit.

''What's up Pip..'', He asked.

''Well... I have news'',She said, staring at him with wide eyes, wondering how she would tell him.

''What's your news?''

''....''

''Pippa, you look frea-''

''I GOT INTO JULLIARD, LIN! I DID IT! AAHHH!'', She screamed and jumped on her bed and had a small dance.

''Oh! That's.. That's amazing Pip.'', He said, trying to cover his sadness.

''Lin.. Are you alright?'', She asked him, slightly concerned.

''I.. Well,'', He thought about telling her he didn't get in. But he didn't want to ruin her special moment. "Wait, Pippa I have something to tell you." Lin hesitated.

"Oh! What?"

"I-I didn't get in.."

"O-Oh..."

"D-Does this mean t-that I won't see you again?"

"Well I'm sure we can visit! I mean, how far away is your college going to be?"

"I-I don't know.." Lin said, trying to hold back tears.

"I-I.." Lin stuttered.

"I don't want this to be the end of our friendship, Pippa." Lin sobbed into the speaker.

"I'm sure we will be able to see each other again soon. I promise. I can probably visit over break!" Pippa exclaimed, trying to cheer Lin up.

"Okay." Lin said as he started to calm down.

"Gotta go, Lin. My parents are calling me down."

"Okay, Pips. Cya."

"Bye." Pippa said as she closed her laptop. She sat there on her bed, thinking. She was going to see him again. Of course she would. They were great friends. She couldn't help but have a bad feeling.

Julliard, 2010

Phillipa was in her class and looked over at the clock, which read '3:30pm'. Her class was nearly over. Thank gosh. She had had the worst day.

As class ended, she ran home fighting back tears. She barged into her house and shut her bedroom door.

''SCREW ALL BOYS!'', She screamed.

"It's okay, Pip!" her close friend, Amber, tried comforting her.

''No! I can't stand them! They just act like they love you and next thing you know, they just tear your heart up!'', she sobbed angrily into Amber's arms.

''I know, I know. It'll be okay! Wanna go get some ice cream?"

''No.. I don't want anything. I just want to be alone Amber.'', She said sadly.

"No, Pips. I'm not leaving till I can succeed in cheering you up."

"Fine." Pippa said as she took Amber's hand and headed out the door.

That night, at home; 9:00 pm

Phillipa thought for a while. Who would she have talked to about this? Sure, Amber was her best friend at Julliard. But... she missed someone. She missed them badly. And she hadn't talked to them in a few years. Lin. She had wanted to message or call him for a while, but things had gotten busy and she didn't want to bother Lin. Next thing she knew, it had been a year since they talked... to two years... and then that went to three.

She sat up on her bed and anxiously stared at her phone. She scrolled all the way down to Lin's contact. Goodness! It really had been three years.

''Hey Lin, it's Pippa. It's great to talk to you again.'', She said aloud. ''Wait what? What do I mean it's 'great to talk'? Ugh, What do I say...'', She said sadly.

She messaged him, writing ''Hey! It's Pippa.''

''Oh gosh I sent it!''She winced.

Lin

Lin was laying in bed after a long night of studying, getting ready to fall asleep, when he heard his phone vibrate.

It was Pippa.

He read, "Hey! It's Pippa."

Lin immediately started replying, "Hi Pip! It's nice to hear from you again!"

But before he sent it, he thought. Why is she texting me? Is something up?

He decided to send it.

Pippa

Her eyes flew wide open as she saw his response.

She wrote back, having some sort of hope for their friendship.

''Lin! Oh wow.. I didn't know if you would respond.. It's been so long, I thought you'd forget about me LOL.'', She wrote.

She saw his new message appear. ''I guess we were just busy with our schools.. It got in the way.'', He had replied. Her heart broke a bit.

''Yeah. I'm sorry I never texted Lin... I didn't want to bother you...'', She wrote back, sighing.

Lin

He sat up from the couch. 'Bother him?' 'Bother him??' He thought. She had promised they would talk again, and she left him alone for three years.

Maybe he was being a bit selfish... I mean- University was a big deal and it was extremely busy. Plus, she had definitely made new friends. He was sure she probably forgot about him instead.

Lin wondered why she texted him in the first place, maybe she felt upset. Back when they were in high school, if either one of them were upset, they would text each other constantly, and then come over in a flash. But it was different this time.

He wrote back, ''Listen Pip.. it's kinda late. Maybe we could talk another time?''

He saw a new message pop up. ''Oh yeah, of course. Sorry. Goodnight Lin.''

He sighed. ''Oh and Pip?'', he wrote before he could stop himself.

Pippa

''Yes?'' she wrote back eagerly.

She saw his new message appear and she stared at it for a while.

''I never forgot about you. I do miss you. Hopefully we can talk soon.'', It said.
