Sophie was studying in her room when her significant annoyance came through the door(Say hi to uncle rick! )

"Sophie?"

Everything stopped.

Sophie

It was funny. It was her name after all. But on his tongue, it was a foreign thing. In fact, she doubted he ever called her Sophie.

Although there was that one time...

And everything sped back into real-time. Because that one time, it was 1 AM and Keefe barely held up to her porch. ( i just reread this, he wasn't hurt or anything, he was just extremely emotionally unstable and couldn't be alone at the moment)

"Keefe?" She was already shoving her books into her bedside drawer/bookshelf thing

"What's wrong?"

That's when he collapsed at her bed

"Everything"

"And nothing and all of it" his voice was muffled by the mattress. He sat up and looked at her with misty eyes

"Sophie, why do things have to be like this?"

Keefe resembled a little boy, looking at her like she held the answers for him. 

Sophie was at a loss for words

"Keefe, what is life to you?" She asked. She wasn't an expert, but she had to know 

"Chasing a feeling I don't know" he answered slowly like he was contemplating taking it all back.

"No, wait, it's having a feeling of uselessness"

It went on like this, Keefe's eyes trained on his hands. but finally, he straightened his back and answered with finality

"Being desperate to do something, but not knowing what it is"

And Sophie froze

She knew that feeling. The path it lead her down had not been a pretty one.

Mo...
