Still Stuck Out in the Same Old Storm ~ sokeefe story

Chapter 19

Sophie:

I haven't talked to Keefe in a week.
It might seem like a short space of time but it felt like forever for me.

He triggered his abilities. He's fine. He hasn't manifested yet though.
Everyone was there. Except me.

I was going to go. But I chickened out. I'm scared he hates me.

I hate me.

Biana told me he looked crushed when he realized I wasn't coming. All I've been doing for the last week was cry, sleep, eat and feel sorry for myself.

Someone knocks at my door softly. My heart skips a beat.

It's Edaline though. Not exactly who I hoped for.

"Sophie?" She comes into my room, looking around at the mess "you need to stop this. I've been waiting for you to snap out of this and pull yourself together but I'm not waiting any longer. You need to talk to him."

I'm surprised by her outburst for a second. "I'm scared, Edaline. I messed up."

"You fought an army of murdering pychos for years and you can't even talk to your boyfriend after an argument. Reality is Sophie, that you messed up and maybe he did a little too, but don't let one mistake ruin a beautiful thing. You're meant to be together. Don't throw it away because of fear."

She's right. She's always right.

I pull myself out of bed, filled with determination.

Edaline smiles softly at me. "That's my girl."

I put on an ice blue tunic black leggings, give my hair a good brush. Feeling a little self conscious, I put on some gold eyeliner and mascara and I was ready.

I'm done being dramatic and a wimp. What was wrong with me? We just need to talk. We can sort things.

I know we can.
