What If...(Kotlc)

Lecture-Keefe POV

Keefe walks into the other room with Grady, he's panicking. Grady stops walking and points at a couch. Keefe sits down not saying a word waiting for the lecture.

"You want to date my daughter?" Grady says staring him dead in the eyes.

"Y-Yes, Sir," he says

"Why?" 

"Because I want to heal her hurt from the past two years, and show her what love is like, and I never want to see her get hurt again and I want to protect her from this world..." Keefe rambled

"You hurt her. I will come find you, I will kill you. And You will regret ever setting foot in this house. Do you understand?" 

"Y-yes sir," he said swallowing, he met Grady's eyes as they stare deep into his soul. 

"Good, now let's go eat shall we?" he said, walking back into the other room, Keefe stood up and followed him. He glanced at Sophie, she sat next to Edaline and he smiled at her. He was going to heal her broken heart. He was going to teach her that the love Ruy taught her to know is not real love.  He sat down beside her, and Edaline provided some Mallowmelt. They all ate the delicious dessert and chatted together, laughter filling the air.

Keefe sat under the tree in Sophie's yard with her, she sat beside him and he felt her nerves. Her hands were shaking and she was staring into the distance. He grabbed her hands and squeezed them firmly, she looked at him and blushed. 

"Was I shaking? I didn't know I'm sorry..." she rambled on,

"Shh...Don't apologize you were nervous," he said placing a strand of her hair behind her ear. She looked at him and nodded slowly before flipping his hand over and tracing the lines on it.

"I've always loved your eyes... you know that?" she said and he looked at her she didn't look up but he stayed quiet waiting for her to continue, 

"They were always so calming...and the only other thing I could remember about this life other than Tam's eyes...Ruy's eyes always gave me a sort of drowning sensation, I never knew why until that day in the coffee shop, but when we went back home, he made sure to do whatever he had been doing which was erasing my memory I guess to make me forget and not fight to get away..." 

Keefe was upset but he shoved that emotion away if he was upset around Sophie she might understand it differently. He looked at her and pulled her into a hug, she had stopped playing with his hand and was staring off into the distance again, he rubbed his hand in circles on her back, and he felt the terror he felt a minute ago dissipate. He didn't know why he felt so much, but it probably had something to do with whatever Ruy did to Sophie.

He felt her relax and her breathing evened out, she was asleep. He lifted her carefully and carried her to her room, he placed her in her bed and made sure she was tucked in nicely. He bent down kissing her forehead gently. 

"Sleep well, Foster" he whispered before leaving.
