Day Three, Chapter Seven

Hey guys...heh...heh...heh...totally not coming back after being inactive on this for 5 months...heh...PLEASE DONT BE MAD AT ME I HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE (and I have other stories). Actually you have the right to be mad at me and you have probably given up on this book entirely. But I am going to just let you read instead of boring you with my long A/N's. Bye.....

     It was a beautiful day, the birds were chirping, the sky was blue, the world was beautiful. Wait, Sophie thought. This is unrealistic. Honestly, when is the world ever beautiful?

     "When I'm in your line of sight," Keefe said quietly.

     "Did you just read my mind?" Sophie asked curiously as she stopped daydreaming.

     "No, you were mumbling in your sleep, I came over and heard you."

     "So you were watching me sleep."

     "Basically," Keefe responded.

     "Don't you have your own room?" Sophie asked.

     "I mean...yeah...but I woke up early, and don't ask me how because I have no idea how, and I was bored."

     Sophie nodded. "So...you decided to watch me sleep."

     "It sounds weird when you say it like that."

     "Because it is."

     "Well, I'm just like your guardian angel. Well, a more handsome guardian angel," Keefe added, fluffing his hair.

     Sophie rolled her eyes. "You're an idiot, you know."

     "Thank you! Surprisingly, I get that all the time. From my mom, my dad, my friends, my teachers. You know, I was worried about being here by myself, but then I realized that I can make new friends. And now we have something to bond over!" Keefe said sarcastically, although his jokes seemed forced.

     "Something's wrong," Sophie said. "Spill."

     "So you're oblivious to everything else, but the one thing I don't want you to know, you know?"

     "What do you mean, I'm oblivious?" Sophie asked, raising an eyebrow.

     "See? You're oblivious of how oblivious you are."

    "Please, just tell me."

    "Fine. I miss living with the Elves. This feels like a home. But the Lost Cities has been my home for a long time."

     "Then you should go back, Keefe."

     "I can't. The whole point of coming here was to protect all of the other elves. I don't want to-"

     "You're not going to hurt them," Sophie said reassuringly. "Look, I know you. Give your heart what it wants. You can come back with me. Also, I think I know what activates your new...whatever it is. When you're nervous or afraid you feel a pull to do whatever it was that you did before. But you've been talking to me for a while, and you've become more confident in talking. Even if I'm wrong, I know you're persistent, and you love to joke around, and just be you. So be you, try to talk more. It won't be the same, but you'll still be you."

     "Look, Sophie, I just don't know...I want to live here. Amongst the humans, I like to meet new people. Yeah, there are thousands of elves, but they're not as interesting as the humans, you know? I want to be in both places, but I don't know how to be."

     Sophie smiled. "You're forgetting that we have light leaped to a million different places. You can live with the elves and still be able to visit here."

     "I guess. Maybe...maybe we could live in Paris, and go visit the elves every once in a while."

    "We?"

     "I can't be alone in this, Soph."

     Soph. He never called her that. She loved it. "I need to go back. And so do you. I know how much you love the Lost Cities. Come with me. I have to leave soon anyway."

     Keefe sighed. "I'll come, but on a few conditions: 1, I need Dex to build me something I don't destroy the world somehow. 2, You have to come back with me to visit here sometimes. And 3, be...my girlfriend."

     I was planning on all of those, Sophie thought with a grin. He's just following what I said. But whatever.

     "Of course."

     Hellooooo again people who are probably bored of reading this! DON'T LEAVE ME I promise I'll try to update regularly from now on (and by regularly I mean not for another 2 months). Nah I'm joking but still...don't leave me!! Anyways, thanks for reading byeee!
