Our Love Story

Defeated

PLEASE DON'T SKIP THIS!!! IT'S IMPORTANT!!! This takes place after Unlocked, but Keefe didn't run away. He decided to get help from Grady with his new ability, and he can control it like Sophie can with her Enhancing. Anyway, enjoy!!!!!!

Sophie's pov:

The Neverseen are finally defeated!

That means life can finally get back to normal or as normal as it can be. We will have to go back to Foxfire *sigh*, but at least we won't have to be in constant worry about our safety.

All of the Neverseen members are either dead or locked up in a secret place where no one knows where it is, other than the Council and the Colective.

I'm interrupted from my thoughts by footsteps coming closer. My body automatically gets in a self-defense stance, and it losens when I see who is walking toward me.

Keefe

Caring, kind, handsome, and owner of awesome, amazing ✨️ The Hair ✨️ *swoons*

Yes, maybe I have a little tiny crush on him...

Who am I kidding, I'm freaking in love with him!!!

But now I just have to find a way to tell him, before he finds a girl. I mean, basically, the whole school has a crush on Keefe! Even teachers!!!!

He probably doesn't like me, I mean, who would?!?!

I'm ugly, not smart, fat, so bad at school, clumsy, not talented, bad at everything, can't do anything right, a very bad friend, a horrible person, and so much more!! (If u ever feel this way, know that u are not anything like this!! U r amazhang, smart, kind, nice, friendly, beautiful/handsome, and an awesome person!!! I'm always here for u luvs!!!!)

Why would he like me?? Of all people!!

Wow

I have absolutely no chance!!!

What was I thinking!!!!

It would never happen!!!!!

"What's all the feelings of panick, worry, and regret about, Foster?" Keefe said, concerned. Oops, I was thinking too deeply that I forgot he was here!

"Just worried about school!" I quickly lied. I could tell that Keefe didn't believe me, but he didn't pry. Instead, he sat down next to me and grabbed my hand, like the caring person he is.

"Listen, Sophie -" Keefe started, but I quickly cut in.

"Sophie? You never call me that! What's going on? Keefe, you can always tell me anything!!" I said in a rush, but I stopped when I felt Keefe squeeze my hand. I squeezed back and took a couple of deep breaths, like Keefe had taught me.

I looked into Keefe's eyes that were full of concern and worry. He looked back into my-ugly-brown ones and gave me a weak smile. I didn't know what to do, I could barely breathe at the way that he was looking at me.

Luckily, Keefe made the decision for me. He pulled me on top of him and hugged me. I responded by wrapping my arms around his neck and breathed in the scent of him.

Ocean water and something lemony.

My favorite smell.

I still have the cape from Keefe, the one that he gave me in Mr. Forkle's office. I pull it out of my closet when I need a reminder that he is here, and everyone and everything is safe and alright. It smells just like him, but of course, I prefer the real him. I mostly pull it out when it is nighttime, and he's sleeping.

I know that Keefe would come over in a heartbeat if I need him, but he deserves some rest. Life hasn't been fair to him, and I will try to make it the best I can for him.

I am pulled back to reality when I feel one of Keefe's hands on my lower back, rubbing circles. His other hand in my hair, stroking it softly.

I put my head in the crook of his neck and wrapped my arms tighter, my hands at the base of his neck.

"Thank you, Keefe, for everything. I should be the one comforting you, but you are the one who is comforting me." I ramble on, suddenly tired.

"I'm always here, Sophie, whenever you need me. I know you have had trouble sleeping lately, and I'm sad that you haven't hailed me to come over. I could help you!" Keefe replies, his tone not angry, but like he is almost in tears?

I moved my head backward so I could face Keefe, but I soon regretted it after the cold breeze hit my face. Keefe's eyes were full of tears, and it looked like he was holding them back.

I knew that I had messed up, big time.

"I'm sorry, Keefe. I just wanted you to get some rest. You shouldn't have to worry about me! You have had it bad enough, and I don't want to add to your stress." I choked out, my voice failing.

Keefe just pulled me tighter and whispered in my ear, "You're my top priority, I care about you more than I should, but I wouldn't have it any other way."

Chills went down my spine, and his breath tickled my ears. I felt hope bloom in my chest, but I pushed it down. I didn't want Keefe to know how I felt.

I yawned and snuggled closer to Keefe, wanting the body heat that came with him.

Studdenly, Keefe stood up and said, "Let's get you to bed, Foster."

I shook my head no and said weakly,"Please stay with me." Keefe mumbled an agreement and went inside to ask Edaline to conquer some blankets and pillows out here.

Soon, Keefe came back out with Ella. Some blankets and pillows appeared around me, and I snuggled deeper into them. I felt Keefe lay beside me and handed me Ella.

Usually, I can't sleep without Ella, but when I am with Keefe, I can fall asleep without her. So, I put her aside and scooted closer to Keefe. He automatically put his arms around me in a protective way and started humming a human lullaby that I didn't know he knew

I felt safe and happy, I hope it stays this way.

And with that final thought, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Sooooooo, how was that???? Sorry that I haven't updated "Living My Dream"!! I just really needed to write some fluff, and it didn't go with the plot as of right now. Anyway, I hope u all enjoyed it and have a great day!!!
