#starring tournesolette as phineas

@tournesolette said: “You don’t need to pretend to be fine, if you want me to stay I will.” To Isabella, from Phineas.

"...I do. I do want you to stay."

That's what's got her upset, really. Isabella wants him to stay, wants the summer to stay, more than anything. She just has a hard time talking about it. After all, Phineas is so bright and resilient and nothing ever seems to get him down. It doesn't seem fair to drag him down with her problems, especially when they're problems that are out of her hands.

"I guess I'm just sad that we're so close to school starting again. I have so much fun with you all summer, and... what if we end up in different classes? What if we barely ever see each other?"

It's been eating at her, making her worry even though she knows it's out of her control. Summer feels sacred, in a way, and she doesn't want it to end. She doesn't want her time with Phineas to end. And in her moment of vulnerability, she doesn't even remember to cover it under claims that she's talking about the whole group.

"I know it's silly. But I'm starting to miss you already, even though you're not gone."
