-Barely Breathing-
chapter one
Peering through the blinds,Philip Kiriakis took a drink of his soda as a smile crept across his lips.
From the bay window in the living room of his house he could see the front street perfectly,and more importantly his parents car peel out of
the driveway as they rushed to the airport.
"Ah alone at last" Philip sighed as he collapsed into the couch and glanced around the deserted room.
"The whole house to myself for a week" he added tapping his fingers across the table top beside him
"What to do?"
As his eyes wandered the room for some source of entertainment,Philip ran a hand through his golden blonde hair.
His eyes stopping on the coffee table under his feet,he lifted the cordless phone with a laugh and hit number two on the speed dial.
"Brady residence" the voice said on the other line
"Shawn speaking"
"Shawn man,what's up?"
"Hey Philip" Shawn replied yawning
"I hear your parents are outta town"
"Who told?" Philip asked jokingly
"Has it been leaked to the paparazzi already...man I really have to start watching what I say around people"
"Actually Belle told me" Shawn replied laughing
"Ah talk to your girlfriend.. It's only eight AM,man you need HELP" Philip said laughing
"Or perhaps you never got off..is she on call waiting right now?"
"Ha ha ha" Shawn said in a serious tone
"So anyway..how's your girlfriend?"
Philip laughed and cradled the phone between his neck and shoulder as he reached for the remote.
"Anyway I was thinking of having a pool party"
"WOW changed the subject pretty quickly there" Shawn replied cracking up
"Pool party huh? I bet you'd like to see..oh I don't know..Chloe in a swimsuit"
Philip went dead silent on the line.
"Hey man,are you there?" Shawn asked quickly
"Huh,what?" Philip replied groggily
"You when silent there...something wrong?"
"Oh it's just Chloe"
"What about her?" Shawn asked concerned
"Well she...." Philip trailed off
"She hates me!" Philip added sadly a few second later.
"What are you talking about?" Shawn asked confused
"Chloe's crazy about you"
"Yeah" Philip replied with a nervous laugh
"She just loves me"
"What happened between you two?..I'm sure it isn't that bad"
"Yeah,yeah man it is" Philip said clearing his throat
"She's REALLY pissed at me about something..I can't figure it out"
"You want me to talk to her?" Shawn replied
"Find out what's wrong?"
"No that's okay" Philip said switching the phone to the other ear.
"I think we just need some time apart,you know to cool down"
"I have a better idea" Shawn replied quickly
"Oh yeah?" Philip asked sceptically
"What's that?"
"You'll see" Shawn answered quickly.
"Just throw that bash and I'll take care of the rest"
"Uhh..alright man" Philip replied unsure
"Bye"
"Bye"
Philip hopped to his feet as he hung up the phone.
Walking to the backdoor of the house,he glanced outside at the pool.
"This is gonna be one killer pool party" Philip said trying to convince himself
"One killer party"
