4 Keefe's POV

"Wow!" Sophie said when the light had carried them here.

Goodness she looked beautiful when she smiled.

He hadn't ever brought anyone here.

No one.

Not even Fitz.

It used to be where he would go after his father got to him, and also where used to plan the amazing pranks he was known for.

"You like it?" Keefe asked her.

"Like it? Keefe, I love it where did you find this place!" Sophie said still smiling.

It really was beautiful, the short stone walls, the vines that covered them. Two small benches with stone carvings in them. And the old- no longer used- fountain in the middle.

"Well I stumbled on when I was walking one time." Was Keefe's small reply. It wasn't the whole truth, but he really didn't want to show her that. It hurt so much then. He didn't want to relive it again.

"Keefe, what REALLY happened. You can tell me. You know I would never think any less of you because of it. Trust me."

The last part got him. The fact was, he did trust her. More than anyone.

Which was why it was so hard to say no.

"Fine. See for your self."

Sophie seemed to understand the invitation.

And when she pressed her fingers to his temples he felt tingles go down his spine.

All he had to do was think of the memory.

Sophie's POV

Sophie held her breath waiting for an answer.

She knew he hadn't told her the whole truth.

But she almost felt like she was pushing to much.

She was just about to apologize when Keefe muttered,

"Fine, see for yourself."

She knew from past times that it was an invitation to enter his mind.

So she tentatively pressed her fingers to his temples and stretched out her consciousness.

Keefe's mind was racing.

It was as though he was conflicted.

Then he seemed to come to a concussion because, his mind centered on a single memory.

Sophie held her breath the whole time it unraveled.

"Keefe, what is this!" His dad shouted at him.

"Nothing. Just some prank I thought of, that's all. It's not like it would have worked anyways. Right?"

"A prank that is more important then your lessons? When will you learn boy! This foolishness needs to stop now. And if your grades suffer because of this, there will be serious consequences. And for now there will be no going over to that Vacker boys house."

Lord Cassius stalked towards the door but not quick enough that Keefe didn't catch his last words.

"Worthless boy. Maybe we should have sent him to Exillium after all."

"I told you he would have been better off there." Lady Gisela's voice came from the other room.

After that Keefe went out the door and just started walking, soon enough he got tired and decided to go back to Candleshade. He pulled out his path finder and turned the facet to what he thought was the correct place, and let the light carry him away, But instead he found himself standing just outside a stone circle with openings on both ends. A fountain in the middle, and two benches on either side.

The vision dimmed then and Sophie pulled back.

"Keefe... I'm so sorry." She really didn't know what else to say. She didn't know why, but it surprised her every time she saw one of his memories. She didn't know how Lord Cassius couldn't see what an amazing son he really has.

"Please don't pity me."Keefe said.

"I won't." Sophie promised "I just don't understand how you father can be so mean to you and not know how horrible it is."

Keefe just shrugged, then said,

"I don't really understand either Foster. But I don't care anymore."

"You really don't care? I mean, he's you father." Sophie said, cause really, she didn't know how someone just couldn't care. She'd been blessed with two amazing families, and yet Keefe didn't even get one. It all seemed so unfair.

"Not anymore." Keefe replied,

And it really did seem sincere.

There was a moment of silence before Sophie said with more cheeriness than probably needed.

"Well, I'm personally thankful that they didn't send you to Exillium, cause then, we probably wouldn't have met!"

"We totally would have met. You think I wouldn't have noticed you at Exillium? I'm pretty sure after what you did, everyone knew who you were. And I can't belive I'm saying this but, Tam had the right idea.

But for the record, I totally would have talked to you first, for the record."

Sophie had to laugh at that. Even after all he'd been through, he was still Keefe.

"Ok, sure Keefe." It was always fun to mess with Keefe.

"No really, I would've!"

"Fine you win!" But not to long or he will take it to literally.

It really was easier to hide behind jokes, than to actually say what was on your mind.

They talked and joked for a bit, but after a while Sophie realized they couldn't avoid it any longer. They needed to talk about it and get the facts straight. No matter how awkward it got.

"Keefe, what are we doing here." Sophie said suddenly having enough courage.

"What do you mean, 'What are we doing here?', We're talking. Like friends should." Keefe said acting a little strange

"Friends." Sophie repeated.

FRIENDS? What? Has he been leading me on?

"Sorry, that didn't come across as I meant it to."

"Than how did you mean it Keefe!" Sophie couldn't keep the snap out of her voice. "Cause, I can't take more of this, All this flirting with me, and for what? Just to have a little fun? I won't stand people who just play with my emotions. I won't."

Where did that come from? She didn't know she had that in her.

"I'm not playing with your emotions, Foster. But... your right. We need to talk about about this."

There was a few seconds of almost eerie silence, then Keefe spoke up.

"I like you Foster. I do. I don't know why it's so easy to admit it now but so hard before. I've tried to tell myself to get over it, but I can't. Then you got together with Fitz, and I tried not to be jealous, I did! But all I kept thinking was 'I wish it was me.' And I saw how happy you looked. You looked so perfect together. I'm sorry Sophie. I'm sorry because I know your not ready for another relationship right now. I know you really cared for him, you still do. But I've realized that all I want is for you to be happy, and if that means that you want to be with Fitz... Than you should do the best for you."

Sophie didn't know what to say to that. He just wanted the best for her. He was so amazingly sweet.

"Keefe I... Your right. I'm not ready for a relationship right now, but I do like you. I've liked you for longer than I'm willing to admit. Even to myself. Though I don't blame you for being jealous, I probably would have done the same thing. I do know something now. I don't want to get together with Fitz again. He's so perfect, he's the one with the bright future, and I'm... I'm the weird unmatchable girl with freaky brown eyes, and way to many enemies, and I'm the one with the past that even I don't know. And Keefe. I don't think you know what your doing. Going into a relationship with me could ruin you, and your reputation. Is that really that you want?" She had to say what was on her mind. He had a way of doing that to her that she had never understood.

"What I want," Keefe replied in a deep voice, "is to be with the Great Sophie Foster, who has made me belive in myself again, and that has made me belive in you, Sophie. And that... that's something to be proud of. I don't care if your unmatchable, I've never liked the system anyway. Don't you start thinking that your nothing, cause your not. Your everything to me."

He looked at her with pure adoration in his eyes, that it made it almost unbearable to tell him, "Just give me time. Please. I have to much to process right now. Please take me home."

She tried to hide the tears that were slowly falling down as she said this. And by the time she was up in her room she was barely holding in the sobs that wracked her body. She flopped onto her bed and let the tears fall. She didn't really know why she was crying. Or maybe she did. She had just told Keefe that she liked him. Her secret was out now. A secret she'd barely let herself admit. She didn't want things to get so bad between them like they had with Fitz, In the end she had tried to avoid him, and just when she needed him the most, he had broken up with her. It still hurt. She couldn't have that happen with Keefe too. There was to much at stake. They were better off as friends. It was to risky.

As she drifted off to sleep that night, she was still trying to convince herself it really was for the best.

BTW THERE WILL BE FITZ AND MAYBE SILVENY IN THE NEXT ONE!
