Lee looked Keely over, she was still wearing those boots of hers, a black pleated skirt, and a black shirt that said 'Death Waits For No One.' He took her hand and quickly began dragging her into the woods, away from three sets of prying eyes.

"You don't think he'll try and do anything to Keely, do you?" Maya asked nervously as she glanced at the place where Keely last stood. "No." Star spoke up in her soft voice. "When he heard what Keely had said, there was heartbreak in his eyes, he cares to much about Keely to hurt her." The two others stared at their silent friend for a moment, when Star said something, it had to be right! "And if he tries anything, he'll have us to deal with!" Karrie said, looking into the woods, waiting for the two to come out.

When Lee felt he had lead them far enough into the woods he turned and looked straight into Keely's wide eyes. 'Why is she so afraid? Why doesn't she like me? What did I do?' Many questions were running through his head, but he managed to get one out. "Why did you say you don't like me?" He asked, Keely just looked up into his eyes, trying to mask her emotions. "Because it's true." She said emotionlessly, Lee could feel his heart breaking and he grabbed Keely's shoulder's not noticing her wince at the contact. "No it isn't." Lee said determinedly. "What happened?" Keely began to thrash out of his hold, he let go and watched as she backed herself against a tree. "I won't be your toy." She said in a low voice. "A toy?" Lee asked, moving towards her slowly. "That's what you think you are to me." He was now in front of her and he grasped her shoulders again, looking her in the eyes, but they were glazed over with tears, Keely was off into her own memories of what happened the night she ran away.

"YOU BITCH!" "I refuse to recognize you as my own kin." "LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" "You are a disgrace to this family." "No one loves you, no one ever did, and no one ever will, your grandmother died happy because she finally got away from you." "LET GO OF ME!" "No."

"Keely, what's wrong?" Lee gently took hr face into his hands, tears were flowing from Keely's eyes, the red orbs full of fear, and she was babbling incoherently. "Keely." He tried again. "What's wrong?" Keely just looked up at him, eyes dull and lifeless, and she began to run further into the woods. 'What things do you hide from me Keely, from everyone?' Lee thought before beginning to chase after her.

Keely couldn't see, everything was blurry from her tears, she'd often tripped, but she always caught herself before she fell to the ground and ran with renewed vigor, she knew Lee was right behind her, she couldn't let him see her, weak and crying like a little girl. She stumbled over a hidden root and fell to the ground, and she found no will to get back up, she just laid there, head down, motionless, soft sobs coming from her small form.

When Lee found her like that, he could feel the shattered remains of his heart break even smaller, he kneeled down beside her and took her into his arms. "It's okay Keely, everything will be okay." He whispered, trying to sooth Keely, calm her down, but the tear kept on flowing out of her eyes, and she wasn't focusing on him at all. 'Why is she breaking down?' Lee was very worried and he brought her closer to him. "God, she's freezing!" He quickly stood up and dashed out of the woods, he needed help and the only people he could get it from, were three girls waiting patently for their friend to return.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO WITH HER!?" Maya screamed as she pointed an accusing finger at Lee when she saw Keely' pale, shaking form. "I didn't do anything, now come on, we have to get her home." Karrie and Star nodded in understanding as they began leading the way to Keely's apartments, when they got there Star took a hair pin from Maya and picked the lock on Keely's door, since they had o clue where she kept her key.

"She's freezing, let's get her to the bedroom." Karrie said when she felt Keel's arms, Maya was off to the side looking at Keely nervously.

They had covered her with blankets, tried making her as comfortable as possible and soon they all were exhausted, the girls slept either on the floor, all under a blanket, but Lee stayed up, watching Keely shiver and go into a fetal position. 'Is this all my fault?' He thought to himself sadly as an idea struck him, he slowly crawled beside Keely on top of the covers, and put an arm around her, at first she tensed up, but then she relaxed, snuggling and trying to get loser to the unknown heat source. 'Tomorrow.' He thought, looking at Keely's face. 'Tomorrow I will find out what's going on.'

Keely woke up feeling cold, so she pushed against the warmest thing she could find, which seemed to be her bedroom wall. 'Funny, I don't remember walls being able to retain heat.' She heard a groan. ' don't remember walls being able to make sound either.' Her eyes snapped open and she looked into the sleeping face of Lee. 'Must. Not. Scream.' She slowly tried backing away, but Lee just tightened his hold on her and came even closer to her than before, his breath brushing her cheek, Keely shivered. 'So cold, why am I so cold?' She remembered yesterday, she didn't want to talk to Lee, so long as she never had to talk to him again, she would have been fine with her decision to end anything between them before it had even begun, but the commanding not in his voice scared her and she followed him, her feet betraying her, then she had broken down, run away, and fell, and then, nothing, everything went black and now she was here, Lee right beside her, slowly beginning to wake up.

Keely closed her eyes. 'Please God, make him think I'm asleep.' But right before her eyes were fully closed, Lee's had opened wide, and he saw through her charade. "Keely, we need to talk."

FASH: Keely's past seems to be getting in the way, Lee wants to know why she broke down, and no doubt her friends do to.
