This is the revised and edited version of Black Keys. Hope you guys still like it! =)
I stared blankly out the window of the old fire house, with the light pitter patter of rain surrounding my mind.
"What's wrong with you?" Nick yelled at me. He has been trying desperately to get me out of this depression, but with no success.
My head turned slowly, as if I were made of stone and each movement painful. But each movement is painful. "What?" I asked, acting oblivious. Oh, but I know exactly what Nick is talking about.
"Stop being thick, you know perfectly well. Stella." I visibly flinched as Nick said the name. I acts like it's a swear word. It's also the name of the girl who broke my heart.
"What do you want to know about her? The fact that she tore my heart to shreds?! Or maybe that she cheated on me?! With Randel of all people?!" My voice rose with each word, and it was the coldest Nick has ever heard it.
"I'm sorry." Nick said. He hasn't heard the whole story, no one has.
I stares out the window once more, tear threatening to spill with each blink of the eye.
It all happened one week ago, but I remember it like it was moments ago.
I walked up to her house, flowers in hand. I was going to ask her if we could become more serious, without the sex.
That's what all the fights were about. Sex. She wanted it, and when she asked, I would say "I'm sorry, Stella, I wasn't raised like that."
When I thought we were on the same page, she stabbed me in the back. Hard. I let himself in, just to find her moaning into Randel's naked body on her couch. "Joe!" She sqealed. 'I can explain!"
"No..." And I ran. Ran out of that house, and out of her life.
I felt the phone vibrate in his pocket. Stella's caller id popped up on the screen.
"Stop calling me!" I screamed at his phone, tears finally streaming down my face. I was unaware of Kevin an Nick standing in the doorway.
Without the strength to resist temptation, I check his voicemail. "Joe," Stel- no. t hurts to think her name- Her voice said. 'Please, baby, I made a mistake. Don't be like this. I love-"
Before she could finish that I threw the phone at the wall, at it shattered. "If you loved me, then you wouldn't make me feel like this." I whispered.

"Joeseph Lucas! Get your bags and come on!" His mom screamed up the fire pole.
One month. One month of feeling numb. Finally, my parents had enough and are sending me to Wisconsin to stay with our family friends, the Munroe's.
"You need to get out. Out of this town, out of her way" Dad said.
"But, when we were young, she was her best friend." Mom knew who, Sonny Munroe. She and Stella were attached at the hip when we were younger. But then the Munroe's moved to Wisconson and we haven't heard much from them since.
Of course, that would still remind me of her.

Sonny gave me a hug. She hasn't seen any us since she was eight. "Hi, Joe." She blushed after pulling away.
I smiled, for the first time in a month, I actually smiled. I forgot. She's even more beautiful in person.You see, I happen to have a secret. My favorite show is So Random, even if I haven't watched it in a while. You see, we used to watch it together. There are too many memories in one of those episodes. "Hello, Sonny."
And there was the start of a beautiful friendship.

They are nothing alike, I concluded. She was a blonde, fashion designer, selfish at times, and determined to get what she wants. Sonny is a brunette, an amazing actress and singer, and selfless. In a two month span, we came to know everything about each other.
I was originally supposed to leave weeks ago, that was before I landed a role in So Random. I hung out there so much and helped with the sketches more than the cast sometimes.
It was official. I really do love So Random. Not only did it help me get back on my feet, it gave me love. That was the place where I first fell for Sonny Munroe.
We were working on a sketch, and there was a romance between us. When we kissed in the rehersal, just wow. The electricity pulsing through me was amazing. When I kissed her I never felt so... so alive.
So Random was also the place we got together.
"Sonny," I stood at her dressing room entrance, a fire in my eyes. We were the only ones there. Perfect.
"Joe," She said, unsure.
"I..." and I ran up and tackled her with my lips. She quickly fell into the kiss. I pushed her up against the wall, and kissed her neck, giving her one hickey too many.
"Joe-" She moaned, "We shouldn't... Oh my god!" I started to slid off her jacket, then her t-shirt and she ripped my button-dpwn shirt off of him, reveling my chest.
We landed on the couch, where we broke apart panting. For a while we just laid in eachother's arms. I have never been more naked in front of a girl, yet never more comfortable. "I love you." I whispered into her ear.
"I love you, too." she said before kissing me sweetly.
"You know what you remind me of?" I asked, lips still against hers.
"What?"
"Black keys."
She raised an eyebrow. "Excuss me?"
I laughed ever so lightly. "You can be so simple...but there is always something hypnotizing. You are more beautiful than any rainbow. You are pure. You are my black key." She smiled, nuzzling into his chest, feeling at home. "And don't let me forget to thank Stella." I said her name for the first time in nearly a year.
"Why's that?"
"Because she lead me to you."
My Black Key.
And cut! That's the end...I know it's OOC, but Im happy with it! Please R&R!
