A/N: "Closer" The Chainsmokers

*There's a specific scene that I am VERY excited for you guys to read yourselves. 😄

Sophie's POV: 

As I lay in bed, the memory of the lake day with my friends keeps replaying in my mind. The sun casting a warm glow over the water, the laughter and joy that filled the air. But amidst the joyous moments shared with my friends, there was one particular memory that lingered in my thoughts like a gentle whisper.

Sitting on the docks with Keefe, his teasing smile and sparkling ice blue eyes filled me with a warmth that I couldn't quite explain. There was something about the way he looked at me, as if he could see into the depths of my soul. Our conversation danced between lighthearted banter and moments of quiet understanding, creating a connection that seemed to transcend words.

I couldn't help but steal glances at him, my heart stirring with an unfamiliar warmth. His eyes, usually dancing with mischief, held a softness that took my breath away. There was an unspoken connection in the air, a moment frozen in time where it was just him and me, lost in our own world.

Keefe's smile was like a beacon in the fading light, drawing me closer to him in ways I couldn't quite comprehend. As our conversation ebbed and flowed, I felt a sense of comfort and familiarity with him, as if we had known each other for a lifetime. The way he listened to me, truly listened, made me feel seen in a way that no one else ever had.

And then, as the sky painted itself in hues of fiery orange and soft pink, Keefe turned to me, his gaze holding mine in a silent embrace. In that moment, the world around us faded into insignificance, leaving only the two of us entwined in a shared understanding that transcended words.

I tried to shake off the lingering traces of that memory, but the warmth of his presence lingered on my skin, leaving me craving more of that unspoken connection. Was it possible that in the chaos of our lives, I had found a kindred spirit in Keefe?

The words of the heartbreaking letter came back to my mind. "Some say a broken heart is like a shattered vase. Fragile pieces scattered all over the place.... when your heart is in a million pieces which piece are you supposed to follow."

Tears blur my vision as the realization dawns on me. This letter was from my secret admirer, pouring out their unspoken emotions in a raw, heartfelt confession. I had found it, brushed it off as a mere coincidence, and now regret gnaws at me for my ignorance.

Each word had struck a chord within me. The vulnerability, the longing, the pain - all laid bare in those inked lines. How could I have been so blind, so oblivious to the depth of someone's feelings for me?

The room feels suffocating, the weight of my emotions pressing down on me. I close my eyes, trying to steady my breathing, trying to make sense of the whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that threaten to consume me.

In that moment of stillness, a single thought crystallizes in my mind - I need to find out who my secret admirer is, I need to make things right, I need to unravel the mystery that binds us together in this tangled web of emotions.

I reach for my phone, the soft blue glow illuminating my dark room. With a sigh, I open the messaging app and start typing a message to my secret admirer. I had been so caught up in the whirlwind of emotions and events lately that I hadn't realized how my actions might have hurt someone who cared about me. It was time to set things right, to offer an apology for any pain I may have caused.

"I'm sorry," I whispered to the empty room, the words barely audible in the silence that surrounded me.

As I press send, a sense of relief washes over me. I hope my words can convey the sincerity of my apology; the regret I feel for any unintentional harm I may have inflicted. It's strange how the smallest actions can have the biggest impact, how a thoughtless word or gesture can wound more deeply than we realize. Especially when I started to think it was a different person. I want to find the real person now.

And I don't want to make the same mistake twice.

-----------------------------------------

As I walked into the bustling hallways of our school, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement bubbling inside me. Today was the day I felt something different in the air, a subtle shift that caught my attention the moment I stepped into the bustling halls of Foxfire Academy. It didn't take long to realize that it was Keefe, the enigmatic boy who had a way of setting my heart aflutter without even trying.

As I made my way to my locker, Keefe's presence seemed to be everywhere, his laughter echoing through the corridors and drawing my gaze towards him. When our eyes met, a warmth spread through me, and I could feel my cheeks flush with a rosy hue. His smile was like a beacon of light in the sea of students, pulling me towards him like a moth to a flame.

"Hey, Foster," he said, his voice a soft melody that wrapped around me like a comforting embrace.

"Hi, Keefe," I managed to reply, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to maintain my composure in his magnetic presence.

He leaned in closer, his breath warm against my ear as he whispered sweet words that made my heart skip a beat. His gaze was intense, filled with a tenderness that made me feel like I was the only one in his world. And then, in a moment that felt like a dream, he pressed a gentle kiss on my cheek, sending a rush of butterflies dancing in my stomach.

"Just wanted to say good morning," he said softly, his gaze never leaving mine

I couldn't help but smile, feeling a warmth spreading through me at his gesture. Keefe had a way of making me feel special, cherished in a way I had never experienced before. It was like he saw something in me that no one else did, and that thought filled me with a sense of wonder and delight.

Throughout the day, Keefe found excuses to be near me, his presence a constant source of comfort and joy. He would brush against me lightly, his touch sending shivers down my spine, and I would catch glimpses of adoration in his eyes whenever he looked at me. It was like we existed in our little bubble, separated from the world around us by an invisible thread that pulled us closer together with each passing moment.

As the final bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, I found myself lingering in the hallway, not quite ready to leave the enchanting world that Keefe had created for me. Just as I turned to go, I felt a light touch on my shoulder. Turning around, I found Keefe standing there, a soft smile on his face.

"Hey, Foster," Keefe's voice was a soothing balm to her restless heart.

"Hey, Keefe," I replied, a shy smile playing on her lips.

Before I could say anything else, Keefe leaned in and placed another tender kiss on my cheek, his lips warm and gentle against my skin. My breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding with a mixture of joy and uncertainty.

"See you tomorrow, Foster," Keefe whispered before turning and walking away, leaving me standing there, my mind swirling with a thousand thoughts and emotions. As I made my way home, I couldn't shake the feeling of Keefe's lips on my cheek,

I was lost in a daze of wonder and confusion. What was happening between Keefe and me? Was this the beginning of something magical, or just a fleeting moment of sweetness on an ordinary day? As I walked home, my mind buzzed with questions and possibilities, my heart torn between longing and uncertainty. That afternoon, as I lay in bed, I couldn't shake the memory of Keefe's tender gestures and loving gaze. The warmth of his touch lingered on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

This warm feeling I had today was the same warm feeling I had when I was sitting beside him on the docks. I never felt anything like it. Not even when I was with Caleb. 

Is there something I'm missing here? Because after today I am starting to feel slightly suspicious of Keefe. 

What is this feeling in my heart?
