The Green pill- A kotlc story

Chapter 3: Keefe POV

I start thinking about the last thing I said to foster. It was a joke about which pill she chose. I didn't realize that might've been the last time I said something to her. I started feeling guilty about it when Livvy came over with an AED? Whatever that is, and I felt stupid for getting so worked up. This was the great mysterious miss f! She wasn't about to stop ALMOST dying and actually die this time. 'This is just another way she's fostering it' he told himself. 'she has to be okay. "she has to be okay" He said it again, not realizing he'd said it out loud that time. "She'll be okay Keefe. We'll fix this, I know we will." Biana says, trying to help me up. Nothing worked until she said "C'mon Keefe. Sophie needs you." Then I was up and holding Sophie's hand again.

They Brought Sophie's heart beat back and I used all my energy to send Sophie the same emotion I had before. A fresh start. She would get through this. She always did.

Elwin gave Sophie the medicine in her leg. She screamed in pain as they put the second in her arm right under the mark she got from the last time she had her mind reset. Biana's eyes started to water and she said she had to go. She couldn't watch it anymore. Dex, linh and tam all went with her. Stina left soon after. Eventually it was just me, Fitz, Elwin and Livvy. Elwin decided they should give Sophie a sedative to keep her pulse steady while the medicine went and did it's job. They asked Sophie to cooperate and knowing her hate for sedatives, we were all relieved when when she finally gave in. Once Sophie  calmed, they decided to to bring her to her room. she slept all night and then it was the afternoon of the next day.

"So what are you working on?" Fitz asked. Probably just trying to fill in the silence. I was hoping he wouldn't talk. After my accidental blushing when talking about his sort-of girlfriend. "oh! Nothing much. I'm just looking through my memories and drawing whatever I think is important." I say. "Oh. Well maybe I can help you look through your memories like we did at the healing cen-" "NO!" I practically scream. "No. That's okay. we already tried that anyway soooo..." "Yeah! And it worked! Why don't you want me to help? Are you worried I'll find something about Sophie?"

"NO!" I start accidentally blushing again.

"Then what?" He asks.

"I just Don't want you messing around in my head again! It was creepy enough the first time!" I say.

"Okay, If you say so." He says, clearly not bothered by the insult on his ability. My face gets even redder, if that was even possible.

"she's YOUR girlfriend" I mumble

"NO SHE'S NOT AND YOU KNOW IT!" He shouts. I grab his wrist and instead of feeling guilt like I was expecting, I get sadness.

"You Really like her don't you?" I say

"Y-Yeah" He whispers, pulling his hand free. "I'm sorry for being a jerk, I just-"

"Your not a jerk Fitz. You were just....assuming I felt that way cause were always hanging out. But you realize you never accuse Dex of liking Sophie and he used to hang out with her all the time?" I say.

"Yeah, when he liked her! Now he's always with tinker!" He says. I never thought of that. I don't even answer. I just go back to sketching in my journals.

I start to remember the first time I met Sophie. She was walking through my ditching hallway looking confused. She noticeably had a huge red welt on her wrist and I was worryied she was hurt, and wanted to help her. And that's exactly what I did. I asked if she was lost and when she turned around and her beautiful brown eyes locked with mine, I knew I had just made a new friend.
