Keely's eyes widened and she tried to get away, but soon enough her limbs were tangled in the multiple bed sheets that were covering her. "I don't want to talk." But Lee seemed intent on it anyway, his eyes stared directly into hers and Keely found that she couldn't look away, until.
"KEELY!" Maya's shrill scream had gotten the other girls up and soon the tri haired girl was on the receiving end of multiple glompings. "I thought you were going to die!" Maya screeched as she latched herself onto Keely, not noticing the jealously boiling in a pair of golden eyes.
'Why does she except their embraces when she won't even talk to me?' Lee thought, clutching at the sheets. 'I care for her more that they can comprehend, but she allows them near her.'
Keely was surrounded by her friends and she weakly tried to get up. "It's okay guys, I can walk you know." She confidently stood up on the floor, and fell back onto the bed. "I for one, think you need some rest, and to tell us something." Lee's voice whispered sensually in her ear and Keely shivered, her blood rushing both to her cheeks, and the juncture between her legs. 'Stop it Keely, just stop it.' She told herself and tried thinking of something really unattractive. 'My sisters making out, my sisters making out, e and Lee making out, Mmmm.. NO!' Keely's face was flushed and she tried her hardest to breathe normally. "Tell you what?" She asked, a little breathlessly. The four others in the room gave her a look and she knew they wanted to know about her past. "You can't tell anyone what I tell you." She said, tears already forming in her eyes as they all nodded solemnly.
"Well, I suppose I never was very well liked by my family...." Keely went on about her childhood, how shed had no friends and her parents hated her, and how her grandmother was like her redemption, she told them about the dear grandmothers' death, and then she came up to the night that she ran away from home. "And.... T-then, h-h-he tried to.." Her voice lowered, but they could all hear what she said. "Rape me." Karrie, Star and Maya were plotting ways to kill Keely's family, and Lee let out a deep growl, Keely turned and found her eyes locked with ones of burning gold.
Lee suddenly understood, Keely was afraid of a relationship, if the people closest to her hurt her, then why couldn't he? But he wasn't like Keely's family, he loved her, and he knew that somewhere, if a nearly forgotten place inside of her, Keely loved him to, because he remembered the night when she had let her mask melt away, when she kissed him back. 'We will be together Keely, just you wait.'
The three girls left for their houses, knowing that if they stayed at Keely's any later, their parents would think that they'd been out the whole night drinking and doing drugs, but Lee stayed.
There was a deep silence in the room. Keely could feel his eyes on her and she trembled slightly. 'What if, he just stayed to ridicule me?' She could already feel tears welling up in her eyes and begin to fall, but a hand reached out and brushed them away. She looked up into Lee's eyes, they were the same as all the other times he'd gazed at her, always full of compassion, understanding and love. She felt his arms wrap around her and she yielded into his embrace.
'I'll take all your pain away Keely, don't worry, soon it will all be gone, and then we can be happy together.' Lee thought as Keely slowly began to fall asleep in his arms, he put her to bed and left the apartment. He would prove to Keely that his love was pure, and maybe he would be able to get some help. 'I'm sure Kevin and Mariah would help me get together with Keely, maybe even Keely's new friends.' He brought the covers up to Keely's chin and kissed her forehead. "Get better soon." And her left for home.
As soon as he entered the door he was bombarded by the high pitched screaming of both his mother and his sister. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" They demanded, Lee just shrugged his shoulders. "Keely's sick and I decided to take care of her." Mariah stopped what she about to say, eyes going all sparkly. "How romantic." Lee's mother looked at him. "Aw. My baby's in love." She hugged him. "Um. Right.... Mom... Can't breath." She gave one finally squeeze before removing herself from her son. "Keely? That girl from the sleepover? She seems like a charming girl. Now, I have to go, I'm already late for my outing with your father." She kissed both her children on the forehead, leaving behind a pink lipstick stain. "Goodbye." She waved happily and left. Lee rubbed away the pink blotch on his forehead, along with Mariah. "So, is Keely really sick?" Lee shrugged. "Well, you're taking me to visit her." "But she needs rest." "Yes, but if she wakes up she needs to be taken care of." Mariah said in a motherly tone as she grabbed Lee's hand and began dragging him out of the house. "And we'll bring Kevin along to." She muttered to herself as she started into the direction of Kevin's house.
"What?" Kevin asked as he came to the door, raising his eyebrows at Lee who had a rather sour expression on his face. "Come on Kevin, Keely's sick." Mariah grabbed onto Kevin's hand and began to trek their way to Keely's apartment building.
"Keely's sick eh, wouldn't she need rest?" Kevin asked as Mariah dragged them into Keely's building. "No, she needs her friends!" Mariah said passionately. "You know, we can't get in, the door's locked." Lee said dryly, Mariah grinned and from her pocket she produced a key and opened Keely's door. "Where did you get that!?" Lee demanded, Mariah smirked. "Keely gave it to me." She dragged them all inside and to Keely's bedroom.
"God, she looks pale." Kevin commented from Keely's bedside, Keely stirred. "I heard that." She muttered quietly, eyes flickering open and glancing over at the three, lingering on Lee. "So tell me, what are you all doing here?"
FASH: Poor Keely, being sick and all, and apparently she's pale, anyways, I'll try and get a bit of a Keely/Lee moment next chapter, but no promises!
