Can I Tell you a secret?

Chapter Five

Sophie pov

I woke up in the middle of the night breathing hard. I had just had a dreamed that when Keefe and I woke up, all of our friends had been kidnapped by the Neverseen and Keefe was badly injured, dying in my arms.

I heard a moan from another sleeping bag and sat up, scanning the room. Fitz was snoring, Tam was mumbling in his sleep, and Keefe... he was the one groaning, then started to sob. I quietly got up and walked over to Keefe's sleeping bag and sat down.

"Keefe, wake up!" I whispered, shaking him. He continued to moan then sat up. "Wha?" He whispered.

"Keefe, you were having a nightmare" I told him. He whimpered like a puppy that had been kicked too many times. I wrapped my arms around him as he buried his face in my neck.

"Shh" I said. "It's gonna be okay Keefe. I don't know how, but it's gonna be okay." I stroked his messy blonde hair.

"Thanks Sophie," he whispered. I was shocked that he used my first name, but didn't say anything. I kissed his forehead.

"Can you try to go back to sleep?" I asked. He moved his head and nodded, kissing me for a little bit before parting.

"Good night Keefe," I whispered to him.

"Good night Sophie," he responded.

Keefe pov

For the rest of the night, I had a dreamless sleep. I woke up at about the same time as everyone else. Edaline had made us breakfast, and then we sat back down in the room we had slept in to talk. We went and sat on the chairs, making a circle. I was unfortunately in between Sophie and Fitz.

"So," Biana said. "I am no Empath, but I sense some weird tensions between Fitz and Keefe."

Oh geez, nooooo Biana. "What?" I asked.

Fitz shrugged. "I don't know bud. Maybe Biana is trying to start gossip."

"Well, it was that way last night" she grumbled. "Any who, what do we do now?"

    "Umm..." Sophie started.

   "How about truth or dare?"

"Ok..."

"I'll go first. Fitz, truth or dare?"

Fitz smirked. "Dare."

"I dare you to.......kiss Sophie."

I felt a wave of fear, a bit of sadness, and..... was that anger coming from Sophie?

"Whoah." I said, fanning the air around Sophie. "Calm down Sophie. Although I do admit, that escalated quickly."

"Ok, never mind." Biana said, her face red. "I dare you too .... hail a random person, tell them you hate them, and hang up."

We all laughed.

"Ok," Fitz said, walking into the hallway. A few minutes later, he came back red faced.

"It was Dan Alina (or however you spell that lady's name idc)." Fitz mumbled, as we burst out laughing again.

"Ok," Fitz said, turning to me. "Truth or dare Keefe?"

"Eh, truth."

Fitz raised his eyebrows. "Really? You usually pick dare."

I rolled my eyes, shifting uncomfortably. "Fine. Dare. Whatever Fitzypoo, just don't make it too hard."

"You ok Keefe? You usually want a hard one?"

"Please Fitz, just give me the dare."

"I dare you to kiss my sister."

My stomach turned. "Pass."

"Uh nope Keefe, you got to do it."

I felt a wave of nervousness from Sophie.

I sighed and pecked Bianca on the cheek.

"Pfft," Fitz said.

I raised my eyebrows, out of the corner of my eye seeing that Sophie was relieved. "You weren't specific Fitzy. My turn. Tam."

Tam sighed. "Dare."

"I dare you to not speak for the rest of the day."

"WHAT?!"

"Do it."

"But—"

"Do you guys hear something?" I asked, smirking and looking around confused in the air.

"But who will go next?"

"Foster can. She's the hostess."

Tam grumbled and sat down on his sleeping bag.

Sophie sighed. "Biana, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

Sophie smirked. "Is it true that you have a crush on—"

"Wait!" Biana said, jumping up. "Whisper it into my ear."

"—Dex?"

Biana groaned, but nodded. Dex turned a bright red, glancing at Biana.

"Dex, truth or dare?" Biana boldly asked.
"Truth."
"Is it true you like me back?"

Dex nodded. Biana squealed with happiness, pecking him on the cheek. He responded by kissing her lips, and she kissed him back.

"Awwww" the rest of us except for Fitz cooed.
"If you hurt her, I swear..." was his response.

They pulled away and Biana came over to shove her brother. "Oh calm down."

Soon we all got dressed and the others had to leave. I went to walk them out of the door, then came back to Sophie. She was cleaning up the mess we had made.

"You ok Soph?" I asked.

"What? Is that my new nickname?" Sophie joked, grabbing my shirt and pulling me into a kiss.

"Seriously, though," I said, pulling away. "Are you okay?"

Sophie raised her eyebrows. "You are the Empath."

I chuckled, wrapping my arms around her. "Yeah, but it's nicer to ask."

"Well, I'm doing really well. I now have a truly loving boyfriend, we just had a sleepover with all our friends, the Neverseen are not bothering us for now and we don't had school for a few weeks."

"That's good Sophie. I'm glad you are happy."

"What about you Keefe?"

"Well, the girl I have loved since forever loves me back, my mom has not been around for awhile, and school is out for a little bit."

"Aww."

I kissed her again. "I love you Foster, but my Daddy Dearest wants me home sadly." I said against her cheek.

"Ok. Hail me if anything happens." She said, slipping me a crystal. "This is to Havenfeild. Don't lose it Keefe."

I accepted it, then gave her one to the Shores of Solace. "Same here Foster."

"Thanks" she said. I could feel her breath on my cheek. We kissed agian ( as Ro the fangirl cooed) and then I light leaped away with Ro back to the shores of solace.
