Sokeefe- The Official

1

I run out of Everglen crying. I sit down at the base of a tree and put my head in between my knees. "Hey," someone said gently. I look up and find Keefe, smiling sadly at me. "What happened in there?" He asked. I look anywhere but him. "Fitz and I just had a fight," I say. Keefe was silent for a few seconds before saying, "You okay Foster?" "I guess," I mumbled. "Did you guys break up?" He whispers as he crouched down beside me. I nodded. "I'm sorry," he says. "Whatever. It's stupid. I shouldn't make a big deal out of it." I said. Several agonizing seconds pass before Keefe stands up and offers me his hand. "C'mon, just have some fun for a little, get stuff off your mind," I take his hand and say "Fine," We walk through the forest surrounding Everglen in silence, our fingers laced together.

We were gone for at least an hour. When we returned to Everglen, Fitz was sitting outside with Biana. As soon as he saw us he rolled his eyes and glared at me. I pretended like I didn't notice and wasn't hurt inside as we walked by him and into the house. Biana stood up and whispered something to Fitz I didn't hear before running to catch up with us. "I'm so sorry about my brother," she said. "It's fine," I replied, "I'll get over it," We all sat down in the living room chairs. I heard the front door open then slam behind me. Probably Fitz. I don't know where he went after that, but I say, "I'm going upstairs," as I'm half way up the stairs, Keefe says "If there's anything you need, we're here for you,"
