"It's just so...unreal!" She sobbed.

They were seated on the couch at the Flynn-Fletcher's. Isabella was wrapped in a blanket, cuddling with Linda. 

"It's ok Isabella. I feel your pain. I know what it's like to lose your parents. Grandma and grandpa Flynn died both in a boating accident and it's haunted me ever since. This is normal, but you don't need to go through this alone. You can't shut yourself away like that. So many people love you, I love you. Your mother and father love you, isa. And Phineas...." Linda faltered.

Phineas had been sitting on the armchair across the room, silently watching his two favorite girls' interaction. He had kept his cool for awhile now and as he watched his girl he felt he was slowly losing control. HE should have been there for her. This wouldn't have happened if HE had been there. This was all HIS fault. Every time he saw her cry, he instantly felt guilty regardless of the fact he knew he didn't cause it. 

"I just wish someone could have been there...that it wouldn't have taken so long-" she stopped. "No, no Phineas! I didn't mean- no please... I just... I'm sorry- I'm..."

She tried to get up but she stumbled and missed his hand by an inch. 

"Phineas! I'm sorry! Please!" 

"Next time you need a shoulder to lean on... I won't be there to be your superman. " Phineas spat. "It seems I'm not good enough."
