《Tiger Eyes (Phillip Carlyle)》Chapter 8 - This is me
Advertisement
I woke up with someone tapping me gently on the shoulder. i slowly open my eyes to find Ellie on me with the look of fear. i hug her and i feel her relax. i wonder what she was afraid of. i soon found out. P.T is behind her with Charity with his arms crossed and a raised eyebrow. i give him a weak smile. Charity is smiling at us. i release the hug.
"Ellie, this is P.T Barnum and Charity Barnum.. they are not going to hurt you." i whisper in her ear. she nods understanding. i use a head sign to charity who offers Ellie a hand. Ellie hesitates but takes her hand. They make their way to the circus.
"What the hell, why do we have her?" he shouts. i flinch at his tone.
"she is my half sister" i whisper looking at the ground before running to catch up with the girls. we finish watching the others performing this is me. i could see Anne looking towards Phillip at times.
Once the show was finished i hung out with the others and introduced them to Ellie. they excepted her. why wouldn't they anyway. We were laughing when P.T runs out leaving Phillip on his own.
" what's going on?" i ask him
"oh, his just leaving us for that Jenny Lind" he spits in disgust. I ask Lettie if she could look after Ellie for a bit while i was out. i got a small nod and told Ellie i would be out for a bit.
I rushed off to the cinema. While i was at the counter getting my ticket, the man gave me two.
"umm i'm pretty sure i'm one person." i say
"no, it's for me too" i hear Phillip say. great, when i thought i could get a break.
"i wasn't sure you'd come if i asked" he says i roll my eyes and walk up the stairs
"i've never been to the cinema before" i state
i was about to have a great time when Phillips parents ruined it. they said they were ashamed to call him their son. i didn't want to split up his family so i said sorry to them and left.
i met with Anne and we practiced tightropes and all. she left when Phillip came in.

8 65Two Existentialists | S.R.
"How many existentialists does it take to screw a lightbulb?" Spencer asked with a small laugh. Once again the room was silent. You faintly heard Agent Rossi mutter, "Don't.""2. One to change the light bulb and one to observe how it symbolizes an incandescent beacon of subjectivity in a netherworld of cosmic nothingness," he said. The room was silent still, until you laughed. His eyes looked up at yours in confusion. "Wouldn't they sit in the dark and hope that the bulb decided to light again? An existentialist would never change the bulb. He would allow the darkness to exist," you questioned.-#1 #spencerreid#1 #mgg#1 emilyprentiss
