~Previously~
I knew I wasn't going to be able to sleep again, so I put on Tam's robe over my nightgown and crept downstairs.
I'd just opened the door when...
"Going somewhere?"
"Keefe?"
~Now~
A lamp clicked on, and sure enough, Keefe was sitting on one of the couches in a blue bathrobe.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just going on a walk." I replied, rolling my eyes.
Keefe raised an eyebrow. "At 12:00?"
I sighed. "Okay, fine, I'm going up to the hill because I can't sleep. Happy now?"
"I'm going with you."
"No, you're not."
"Yes. I. Am." he growled. There was something dulling his eyes, something that wasn't there before.
"Are you okay, Keefe?" I whispered.
"I'm fine." he responded.
"Then why are you crying?" I ask, wiping away a tear from his cheek.
But then I realized what it was.
Guilt.
I brought him over to the couch.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't reply.
"Answer the question, Keefe."
Nothing.
"Why are you guilty?"
"Because I was worried okay?!" He shouted, causing me to shush him.
"I was worried that you were hurt or possibly dead! I was ashamed that I didn't protect you!"
"Keefe..." I took his hand into mine. "It's not your job to protect me."
"Isn't it?" he asked. "All my life, you've been the sister I've never had. Of course I have to protect you."
(Aww I just love their friendship, don't you?)
"But I can take care of myself." I reminded him. "Remember that time I kicked your butt when you, my brothers, and I were playing football?"
He smiled. "You were 8, I was 10. That was the day I knew I shouldn't mess with you."
I playfully ruffled his hair. "And yet you still do it all the time."
We stayed there for a while until I said, "Well, I'd better get going. It's already 1:00."
I stood up to leave but Keefe said, "Wait. You said you're going because you can't sleep, right?"
I nodded.
"You know that if you can't sleep it means that someone's thinking about you, right?"
I rolled my eyes. "Puh-lease. I don't believe in children's myths."
I walked out before he could reply.
I walked towards the hill, and the walk wasn't that long, but it still gave me time to think.
That day that I played football with Keefe and my brothers had been the craziest day ever.
~Flashback~
