Keefe wakes up from a long coma in order to regain strength. Dex is stronger then him, zero muscle Dex! Struggling to lift weights is one thing, struggling to move your wrist is another. After almost dying, Keefe's struggling in order to hold onto h...
A/N: Another cute picture! The video because it fits. It's talking about stumbling and falling (not in the sense that I'm using of course) which Keefe will do a lot of!!

I wake up feeling pain. Another week has paced by. Fitz didn't visit and neither did anyone else. I've regained strength in my legs, but Elwin wouldn't let me try standing up until today. Turns out today's the day Foster decided to show.
"Keefe, look--"
"Sophie, I don't really want to talk about it okay? Lets just let it be. Today's a new day," I shrug, sitting up for the first time in my bed.
She nods. "Elwin told me that you have had some progress, so I got you something as an apology. It's probably hard on you, and I didn't do anything to help," She says handing me a small package.
I opened it up, not knowing what to say after that. It was a stink maker. Basically I could make my own stink bombs! Awesome! Magnet Leto would not be smelling pleasantly anytime soon! I smirked.
"Ah, Foster! How do you know me so well?" I smile.
"As long as you don't use ANY on me, I won't tell anyone it was you, or you have it!" Sophie narrows her eyes playfully.
"Deal!" I say, outstretching my shaky hand for her to shake, she hesitates before shaking, hoping I didn't notice, but I did. I shake off my embarrassment, and smile.
We didn't know what to say after that, an undefined feeling was dividing us. Luckily Elwin entered.
"Sophie, unless you want to help, Keefe and I have some exercises to do before he tries to put weight on his legs," Elwin smiles, a twinkle in his eyes.
Sophie's eyes go wide, "Oh, today's the day!"
"Yeah, hopefully," I mutter.
"Do you want me to stay?" She asks quietly, while Elwin walks out into the hall to grab some ice.
I wanted to say no, but by the look in her eyes I know she want to be here with me. So I give her a small reluctant nod, earning me a thin smile.
Elwin showed me the leg stretches, and I copied them. His imparter blinked, meaning that there was a kid hurt at Foxfire. He went back and forth in order to help me and the kids at school.
"I got to go, but Sophie. If he starts to get tired, make sure he stays in the bed!" Elwin said, looking at me at the last part.
"Okay!" I groaned. I watched him leave. I looked at Sophie my heart hammering in my chest.
"You ready?" She asked nervously, sitting next to me.
I nodded, gently placing my feet on the ground. My legs felt so numb, I smiled as I wiggled my toes onto the cold hard stone.
I gripped the bed tightly, my knuckles white, as I slowly stood up. Sophie placed her hands on my waist for support, just in case I fell. I laughed.
"I'm standing! I'm really standing!" I gush, sounding like a little kid. I felt so happy and free at that moment. Sophie's eyes twinkled at my excitement. Hey, if you weren't able to walk for months, you'd be this excited too! So don't even think about judging me!
My legs shake as I take my first step. I stumble, but Sophie catches me. I clutch her one hand that isn't around my waist like a lifeline. I look at her smiling, she smiles back. I take another, and another. Gripping onto Sophie, and moving slowly. I took about five steps, and collapse from exhaustion. Sophie picks me up and carries me to my bed. A frown is etched onto my face. Only five steps. That's all I took, and I stumbled each time. Five measly steps and I'm already exhausted!
Sophie must notice my sudden change in mood because she sits next to me on the bed.
"Keefe you're a lot stronger then you realize. I want you to know that!" She says, giving my shoulder a tight squeeze.
I look up into her beautiful eyes. The golden flecks are like a sun rise. The brown is rich like chocolate. I sudden urge overwhelms me and I kiss her. She kisses me back.
And all to soon, she breaks away. I see a flash of guilt in her eyes. It's gone in an instant.
"You should probably sleep," She says, walking out of the room. She didn't say bye or anything else. She obviously likes Fitz or maybe Bangs Boy.
When I know she's gone I try to run far far away from all of this, but I fall, twisting my ankle. I sob, and scream in pain. My dad's at work, so he won't check up on me. I use my dresser to help pick me up. My veins pop out on my arms from the strain. My sobs come out like chokes. I grab the closest thing and chuck it across the room. My hands find the knife. I never used it. I know that it's bad. It's a weakness that humans do. It's tempting but I know it'll only scare people. So, I grab the knife, and stab the wall repeatedly. Then I sink to the floor in pain, depression, and exhaustion.
I cry myself to sleep. I never heard Elwin open the door.
A/N: Ok, cutting yourself is BAD! Don't do it! I never did, therefor, you shouldn't either. Act like Keefe and resist the urge! Also, get help ASAP! You are to beautiful to do that to yourself! Don't give the haters that power, even though it's hard. I know, words hurt more then when Sophie inflicts upon you! But harming yourself is NEVER the answer. I know a lot of people say that, but think about how the people who know and love you feel. They don't want you to die because your so awesomesauce! So know that people are always there to help you! Anyway, thanks for reading! You all are beautiful, so STAY YOU!!! ;)
