The moment Keith walked into the home he noticed Angel. The feelings he promised he'd lock away began to linger in so he shut them out. He sat down next to her but didn't say a thing. She's too busy lost in her own thoughts. And soon enough he got lost in his.
Angel was living in Nathan's old house but she was here for her doctor. She refused to go to the hospital. Clearly, she was afraid of the accident and it made her afraid of a hospital. And top of it his father was coming today.
He didn't know how to manage everything.
Keith stole a glance at Angel and she looked troubled. He looked away, thinking what could it be? Then she reached into her bag and takes out a few pills and drowns them. He lifted his eyebrows questioning. She looked away.
"What if doctors don't work? What if I never remember us?'' She asked sadly.
'But there wasn't an us' wanted to say Keith but he smiled back with encourage.
"You will remember. I promise." She looked away again.
"Promises are meant to be broken, Keith." With that, she stood up and walked upstairs.
Keith wanted to run after her but he knew she was right.
Promises are meant to be broken indeed.

"Soooo Keith, you got a girlfriend I see?" Keith's father asked curiously. At his voice, Keith jumped from his seat and looked horrified. If his father gets to know about Angel then he'll try to do everything possible to get her away. His last girlfriend turned out to be a gold-digger and who knows this time what his father will think.
"No definitely not." His father doesn't know what happened.
"Okay, whatever you say, but maybe you should wipe that stupid smile off your face before anyone sees." His father jokes. His grandfather gave an unimpressed look from where he was laying.
"I'm done with girls, especially girls I don't know anything about." Keith replied reassuringly though he had a feeling he was only reassuring himself.
"If you say so, otherwise-"
"I'm positive."
All his father does is a nod, not too convinced, but doesn't want to push the subject.
"What?'' A shaky voice asked. Turning around Keith froze. Her face has become paler even if that's possible. She was shaking her head as he took a step ahead.
"No! Don't come near me!" She yelled and run towards the front door to get away. But this time Keith followed.
He wasn't just going to let her go just like that.
Even if his father disowns him.
