As my feet hit the snow I started to shake uncontrollably. I could feel the cold start to seep into my bones and my teeth started to chatter. How could I have been so stupid, I had forgotten to grab my cloak. I looked around for Keefe, expecting his famous smirk or to at least see him. But he was he was no where ; the only thing I could see was snow and the strong icy wind stung my cheeks.
"Keefe," I tried to call, but the wind ripped away my words. I shivered harder as the ice bit my skin. I knew my emotions were out of control, I was scared he was not going to show up and I was praying to God that it was not a set up. I was sad but not angry more like a pit of disappointment in my stomach that he had not shown up yet.
                           I was pretty sure my teeth were going to crack from how hard they were clanging together. Then a soft Crunch ..... crunch... crunch.
I froze; the footsteps were coming from behind me and I was almost to afraid to look. As I turned around slowly a tall elf covered with a neverseen coat stood over me. I screamed trying to back away but fell. I heard the footsteps coming closer and wished I hadn't taken my trackers out.
How could he do this I trusted him, I thought, how could I have been so stupid? Then there was nothing no sound just silence, I looked up to find a smirking Keefe. He stuck his hand out and I hesitatingly placed my hand in his and let him pull me up. I was planning to smack that stupid but cute smile off his face but I could not move my arms. I was shivering so hard i felt like my bones were gonna shatter. He thankfully noticed and pulled me under his cloak pressing me against him. Any other time I would have been embarrassed by this and I wanted to be angry at him for making me wait and scaring me like that but I was to excited he was there and way to cold to care. I snuggled closer into him and felt a familiar breeze sweep through my mind.
He lifted his pathfinder and said.
"Let's go somewhere a little warmer"
   I barely managed to nod my head as the warmth whisked is away. Our feet touched sand and he pulled away taking his heat with him. He then turned to me and looked at me; I couldn't have looked away if I had wanted to.
          His eyes where a beautiful light blue like fresh ice that drew u in and held on with a intensity that u could not escape. My cheeks flamed when he looked me up and down and smirked. He slumped down on the sand and I did the same waiting for him to say something, anything. I watched the waves crash and roll almost putting me in a trance.
I startled when out of no where he quietly whispered. "So did u miss me or are u here for another reason?"
My eyes started to rim with red and my blood started to boil as I saw again the broken and bleeding pieces of this beautiful and talented boy. His dad had never told him he loved him and always made him feel useless and his mom was one of the reasons she and her friends had almost died several times. I took deep breaths to control myself but a rouge tear slipped out. I reached out and laced my fingers through his. "I came here because I have cried and missed you every day since you left m......us." (Flashback) Fitz , Biana, Dex, Tam, Linh and me laughing and shopping in the city but a hollow spot would be there no matter what I did. All I could think was "what did I do wrong , why did he leave?"
Every time that I got home I would listen to the same song and ask myself the same questions. (End flashback) listen to song
Another tear slipped down my cheek as he looked at me. I could see the pain and sadness seeping through the cracks of his jokes, laughter, and bravery. As those beautiful eyes looked at me and I felt something that I had felt before , but had never acknowledged it until now love ,happiness, joy , peace, and contentment. Just being near him made me feel like I was safe and protected. I then realized that because he was an empath he had just felt everything I had. My cheeks grew warm and I looked away.
      " Well those emotions clarify things" he said
       "Yea , I guess" my cheeks getting redder by the second
         He grabbed my chin and gently lifted my head to look at him " I have liked u since I met you Sophie."    I smiled and laughed a little.
He leaned back slightly confused "What?"
   I leaned a little closer "You never use my first name. Who are you and what have you done with Keefe?" This time he blushed and looked away "yea ,I guess it is Foster but what about Fitz?"
Confused I asked "What about him?"
He looked back at me and said "Every time you are around him well.... you should know I can feel your emotions."
My heart stuttered at what I was about to say "Listen I know what you mean, and I'm not gonna lie to you I did like him," Keefe turned away. This time I grabbed his chin and turned his face to me. "But, I only liked him because he was the elf who brought me here and knew all this crazy stuff about me. But the thing is you make me smile , laugh , you make me happy, you take me places I did not know I could go , you show me who I am when I can't find myself , and I know you would do any thing for me. I love you no matter what stupid things u have and will do"
       He got up and walked a few feet away he sighed as a tear slipped down his cheek and said " Foster you don't know how much I want to believe you but I have been lied to so much I don't know who or what to trust anymore and I want to trust you but I can't seem to make myself"
