There will be funny things (Biana yelling at Tam for breaking her high-heel, and so on.) And, yes Keefe will make Sophie blush! Don't worry about it! My updates are gonna probably gonna be close together, because I have no life! (huge nerd alert) And yes, I know you all hate my because of the mind break. Since no one commented, then I'll be on with the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick thing: this is my first time writing fanfiction, so gimme a break if it isn't the best! On to the story

(Fitz's pov)

(back up to right when Fitz told SOPHIE he's too guilty.)

My mind has gone numb. I can't feel. I'm immobile. All of my memories fly around my brain, except they're cracked, and in them, the images are disoriented. Too bright, too loud, too colourful. A memory of a girl is playing in front of my eyes (kind of). She looks at me, she has blond hair, and gorgeous brown eyes with gold flecks. She's running away from me, to a....... zoo? It's weird, everything else in this memory is wrong, but she is vibrant, perfect. She is engraved in my memory. She must be important to me. It's such a shame that I can't remember her, then again I don't even remember my own name. The memory is still playing. She's running onto a street. A car is rushing towards her. I try to tell her to stop, that she'll die, but I can't something's stopping me. The car jerks to the side, and crashes into a lamp post. She's not going to make it. I can't believe it. She shoved her hand upwards, and the lamp stops falling. I sigh.

Then it drops, I watch myself run to her, and get her out of the way. A distant, very distant voice escapes my mouth in my memory. "thank goodness, you're alive, Sophie."

I remember her name! In my mind I shout the words Sophie Foster! A blinding white light appears, and I realize I can hold onto it. All of my memories fade away, and I'm with darkness, darkness, and one white light. I hang onto it as I think, Sophie will save me, she has to, so I can tell her I love her.

Sophie's POV

"No" I scream. I'm out of control. My mind shuts down. Not Fitz. I'm sorry Fitz. This is all my fault. "C'mon, get up!!!!!!!!!!! Please! Don't break!"

Grady shushes me and brings me closer, while whispering to Edaline to get Elwin. I then remember that I can fix him. This is going to be ok, it has to be. Or else Biana will kill me, and then break from the guilt. Without me to save her. I need to fix him, now. I push Grady aside, and walk over to Fitz.

"Sophie, don't do it until Elwin gets here," Grady says. I ignore him, and push my my conscience into Fitz's mind. It's all gone. Everything is lost. His brain is empty. It's like he's dead. He can't be dead. I wade deeper into his mind, trying to find the nook. I forgot, I need to inflict on him first. What emotion should I use? I mull over it, then deciding to try anger, but that doesn't work. What emotion am I going to try now?? I don't know. I decide to try love. It couldn't hurt, right? I think of all the times I've felt love. Images of my sister fly through my brain, my pet imp, iggy, and so many other people. I gather every single time I've felt love. I make a huge ball of warmth, and shoot it out of my head. It creates a trail, going to a thread of warmth, I swear I hear the words Sophie Foster being said in a chant, but I ignore it. I need to focus on the thread. I drag it with me. The next emotion I try is happiness. Another thread appears. I hold onto it, along with my other one.

I try five more emotions before I find the nook. I bring all the threads with me, and drop them in the nook. I'm exhausted, but I push through it. I start transmitting photos to Fitz. I send him memories from when we first met, pictures from all of our adventures. I fill it with light, ready for him to come back. I'm tired, angry (at him and at the world) and have given it my all, but I keep going Fitz, I transmit Please come back, Fitz! I need you to keep screaming at me. I need you sane! I transmit more photos of us more of every memory of mine he's been in. I rack my brain, and get the oldest memory of me and him, the one when we first met. The day I found out I was an elf. I transmit it, along with the feelings I had felt that day. I transmitted everything.

     Everything stirred, creating a whirlwind, slowly, memories came in the nook. Memories that weren't from my point of view. I held my breath. I wouldn't release it until I knew he was safe. Sophie, Sophie I'm here.

I'm pulled out of Fitz's mind. I look around me. When did everybody get here? Della's crying in the corner, Elwin is searching in his satchel. Alden is pacing across the room. Grady is punching  the wall. Edaline is randomly conjuring things, not really noticing. A gasp came from Fitz's place on the couch. How'd he get there? Everyone turned to his part of the room. His eyes are open. His smile was the thing that assured me that he was sane. Thank god, I thought. It seems like the room held it's breath. That is, until I run to Fitz. I hold him in my arms. Muttering over and over, "thank god you're okay, thank god you're ok."

Faintly, very faintly I think I hear, "I love you Sophie. I love you so much," I think I am just delusional. I get pulled away from him by his parents, who are crying tears of joy. As I stumble away from him, Biana appears. With Brote and Mr. Forkle. "Omg! Omg! He's ok!!!!!!!!!!!!" She yelled. "Thank you so much Sophie! Thank you!" She hugs me, tears streaming down her face.
Everyone turns to me now. They bury me in a hug. I'm kind of struggling to breathe. Oh well. They move aside, and Fitz comes in for a hug. I hear someone clearing their throat.
"Hey Foster, can you say hi to your friends please?" Keefe. I go rigid. If what Fitz told me is true, then, well the rest of my life will be very interesting. I turn around. Keefe, Lhin, Dex, and even Marella is here.
Keefe has his trademark smirk, and for some reason, that makes a bunch of butterflies explode in my stomach. The same way it used to be with Fitz. I can't speak. I literally can't I just-like my mouth can't form words what in the hell is happening to me?
Luckily, I don't have to form words, because everyone else does it for me. They ask millions of questions about what happened, and Fitz answered them for me. Soon, the rest of the council, and the collective appear in our living room. Except, I don't notice them. The only person I notice is Keefe. The way he moves, the way he talks, it all comes to me more vibrantly now. He's the only person I see in a room filled with over a dozen people. How is this possible? Oh, I realize, I like Keefe.

A/N okay, so I know I said that I was going to determine this because of your comments, but no one posted any! So back off! Second! I am so happy about the way this chapter ended!!!!!! I love love triangles!!!!!!! (That's why I'm an Archie nerd) yes, I'm obviously not going to let her get together with Fitz again (or am I) so don't worry. Yes, funny stuff will happen. Gimme a break! Next update will have funnies I promise! Until then,
